New Wiz City: Early Days
Project Overview
A not so squeal, not so prequel. In the same world as the 4th tale "New Wiz City" we dive back in to see the story of journalist Dougan Kolas as they are tasked with creating a story on the griffons from one of the Archmages. A job that should be simple boring and easy takes a turn he could have never expected.

It was 9:30 I had just made my way into the office when a colleague stopped me, Adrian Deno, a short bald fifty something man that had a look of extreme urgency on his face.
Chief Margaret Bellclaus, the one in charge of our division at N.W.C.N.N that's the New Wiz City News Network for those of you that aren’t familiar. You’ve probably seen her on billboards. The blonde with green eyes, she is the face of our lovely network.
It was then that Cain’s face turned dark; it was like another person had stepped into the room. This was no longer the friendly man I had spent the last ten minutes speaking to.
The old man in the corner of the office good at what he does and always looking out for the rookies ( anyone younger than him)

Hey, the boss wants you in her office five minutes ago.
I hope so, we need to get him curious. We need him to come to us before they have a chance.
Yeah I guess I’d just watch my back with that guy no telling what might happen.
The fiery chief of New Wiz City News Network.

Took you long enough Kolas. I’ve got a special assignment for you from the people up top.
Don’t know the names redacted, but the order is official.

You need to listen!
The griffons. They weren’t here a week ago. You’re a reporter, you can spread the truth better than I can. You can do so much more but you need the information.
We still don’t know for sure how they got here but we speculate it was during the final day of the war when the Archmages got together and released the Halcyon surge. As for how long we notice an increase in rift energy a week or so back and that's when.

We had just gotten through the last Great war before the foundation of New Wiz City. I was uh I was over in what used to be called… Oklahoma that was it!
Indeed one of the first to sign up even when the great war started. My men and I were the ones who were able to put an end to the whole thing. But not before one last act of betrayal my brother Able it turns out had been working with Orsen.
I never even saw it coming until his blade was an inch from my throat. Can you believe it? My own flesh and blood would try and murder me, after everything we’ve been through together.

Welcome, Mr.Kolas, a pleasure to finally meet with you.
Indeed, My darling Anabelle has been with me ever since I Halcyon left and in all that time she has never grown out of her cocoon into the beautiful butterfly she was meant to be. Well then enough about Anabelle let us business men get to business. You wish to learn about soul bonding don’t you?
Ah Anabelle thank you, you can just set them on the other side of the table there.

Come now I am just like any other of our fine citizens of New Wiz City. Please take a seat.
Ah. Well I sought to talk about your story. I have been listening and would like to give you some more leads for your “investigation”. Some sources that even your station could not connect you with.
The tavern you tend to frequent, there have been a series of incidents involving a rather notable person interest. Just moments before you arrived we found someone you may recognize conducting dealings with them.

We have other operatives deep within the system once this gets out there is no stopping it, they just need a large enough distraction to make some real headway.
