SStonebridge
When Imperial trader Etan Stonebridge
founded his town, it was little more than a
rough patch in the road south of Wesrin Cross. To most, it didn’t look
like much. But it was close to a shallow bay and an Azunite Shrine
of Passion that had recently been erected by Dwarven traders hailing
from the Agallan Peaks. The shrine was already a popular stopping
place for traders heading farther south, and it would likely attract
settlers if Etan could ensure the public peace. So, hiring passing
craftsmen, he began the laborious process of erecting a protective
village wall, while sending ridiculous sums of gold to infl uence and
support his old friends in the 2
nd
Legion.
Two years later, the village population of 20 marveled as two ancient
catapults, pulled by large teams of mules wearing the colors of
the 2
nd
Legion, creaked through the city gates.
The catapults, Gravemaker and Godhammer,
had played critical roles in the history of the
Empire of Stars, and Stonebridge knew they
would lend his fl edgling community physical
and psychic protection. Furthermore, the mules
that pulled the catapults were among the tough-
est bred in the 2
nd
Legion, and pack animals were
in short supply in the mountainous west. The
village soared to prominence in the region and
Etan Stonebridge’s great gamble began to pay
off; unfortunately, he never lived to see its
ultimate success.
Managing your Inventory
When you pick up an item from the ground, it is added to your Inventory
and you carry it with you until you use it, sell it, give it to another
character, or drop it on the ground. Each item you pick up occupies
space in your Inventory. When your Inventory is full, you cannot carry
any more items; however, you can still right-click an item to pick it up.
For information about buying packmules to carry your excess items, see
“Adding a packmule to your party” in this manual.
