The Anghysbel Expedition
Ceremony · Year 8
Minalan's deep-north expedition into the Anghysbel jevolar to investigate the source of striekema, recover pre-Inundation artefacts, and learn what he could from the jevolar-protected region. The expedition discovered the Cave of the Ancients (Unger Station, a colonial geophysical research outpost), recovered a small arsenal of pre-Inundation weapons (plasma rifles and other tools) under Lilastien's instruction, established working contact with the Met Sakinsa Leshi, harvested striekema from the ash mound of the fallen Lesh Stonetrunk, mapped the various peoples of Anghysbel (Kasari, Tal Alon, Karshak, Kilnusk dwarves, the Plain of Pillars), and made allies of the Avalanti adept Bomoadua and the colonial-era refugee Rolof.
