Hark was about to open his mouth when a voice from in his ranks cut him off.”Don’t listen to a word this lying creature say!” Hark looked over to who the voice came from and it was none other than Drew. Drew was the younger brother of Captain Rourke who was recently captured by the Cult and the youngest and most inexperienced of the guard.
”You locked up my brother and are destroying the town!” Drew shouted as he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the sightless. Hark looked around at the rest of his men, some where nodding in agreement and readying their weapons and some looked as if they were about to run. “Now everyone hold on I’m sure we can figure this out without any bloodshed.” Hark said holding his hands up to try and show he meant no harm, ”Now if we could all ju-“
His words were cut off as his vision flashed. He saw that the cultist to his right would make a lunge at him with his spear. Shit Hark thought you himself, it was on now. He stepped back just in time as the spear went by his face. Before the cultist could pull it back Hark grabbed hold of it with his left hand and snapped it in half with his right forearm. He stabbed the spear right into the mans throat and as he withdrew it the man crumpled to the floor.
There was a moment of pause as everyone, cultists and guards alike, stood staring at each other before the area burst into fighting. Hark drew his sword in his right hand and cut another member of the cult down. He had to make his way to the giant pactmaker and the other girl, who Hark assumed was another member of the group that joined after he left. Hark dodged fighting bodies as he made his way towards the two.
Just before he reached the two Hark looked over and his heart dropped. The cultist, Smit, stood over the body of Drew with his sword plunged deep in his chest. ”NO! Hark shouted above the noise of the violence. This caused Smit look up and he pulled the blade out of Drew’s chest. A deep rage filled Harks body and he pointed his sword at Smit, “You’re going to die here.”
Hark stood in the alleyway adjacent to the bell tower, flanked by the few town guard he was able to scrape up in the past two days. It wasn’t very hard for him to track down his fellow pact makers as trouble always seamed follow them around. Now whatever grand scheme they were attempting got them stuck up inside the towns bell tower.
Hark gave one more glance over his small troop before stepping out into the open. With the crowds of cultists growing he knew he had to make his move now or never. Just as a precaution Hark wore his royal guard armor because he knew if any sightless were around they would recognize he was someone they should at least try to behave around.
As Hark and his group moved in on the bell tower heads began to turn and watch them with suspicious eyes. Hark grabbed the nearest cultist by his shirt and pulled him in close, ”Which one of you here is in charge?” he growled. The cultist look unsure of what’s he should say for a moment before stuttering out, “N-N-Nieffar”.
Hark swallowed hard and let go of the mans shirt, pushing him away. He and the guards stopped a few meters in front of the entrance. ”Nieffar show yourself!” Hark called out gripping the hilt of his sword. He wasn’t sure how this was about to go down but as long as he could create a long enough distraction for the others to escape unnoticed he would be satisfied.

Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of birth, carry the power of the planes in their blood. The genasi are one such people, the offspring of genies and mortals.
The Elemental Planes are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane: crushing earth, searing flames, boundless skies, and endless seas make visiting these places dangerous for even a short time. The powerful genies, however, don’t face such troubles when venturing into the mortal world. They adapt well to the mingled elements of the Material Plane, and they sometimes visit—whether of their own volition or compelled by magic. Some genies can adopt mortal guise and travel incognito.
During these visits, a mortal might catch a genie’s eye. Friendship forms, romance blooms, and sometimes children result. These children are genasi: individuals with ties to two worlds, yet belonging to neither. Some genasi are born of mortal–genie unions, others have two genasi as parents, and a rare few have a genie further up their family tree, manifesting an elemental heritage that’s lain dormant for generations.
Occasionally, genasi result from exposure to a surge of elemental power, through phenomena such as an eruption from the Inner Planes or a planar convergence. Elemental energy saturates any creatures in the area and might alter their nature enough that their offspring with other mortals are born as genasi.
