Magic Orb
When the Box of Whispers was stolen from the Land of Een, the council of elders consulted the magic orb to help them decide what to do. The orb is one of the most ancient treasures of the Eens, and is used only in the most grave of dilemmas.
It was Winter Woodsong, then leader of the council, who used her magic to call upon the orb. The pool in the middle of the council chamber began to bubble and sparkle. Then, with a soft “whoosh” sound, a stream of water shot into the air, and out of its midst appeared a glowing crystal orb. It floated magically in the air, whirling with a quiet buzz as stars and bolts of electricity crackled about its surface.
The orb spoke to the elders and told them to send five heroes to search for the box. The orb itself nominated these heroes, calling forth the wizard Gregor Griffinskitch, Professor Bumblebean, Juniper Jinx, Honest Oki, and Kendra Kandlestar.
Some of the elders disagreed with this orb’s instructions, but Winter Woodsong trusted its wisdom, and the five would-be heroes embarked on the quest.
