This is a quest for Raikou Rider. Do not post here if you aren't Raikou Rider or a WPL.
Name of Quest: Maelstrom Glory. Reward: 3 EXP. Player in Quest: Raikou Rider.
You find yourself by Bant's Seaside Citadel, staring at the ocean. A cool breeze brushes against your face. You wonder how you'll find what you're looking for, and if anyone nearby might be able to help you.
It had been a while since Eron had returned to Alara. His travels in search of the archangel Asha had taken him across several planes wilder than anything he had ever seen. The cityscape of Ravnica blew his mind--how could an entire urban plane support itself with what little space there was for farmland? Not even the ancient Vithian cities were that huge. Then on the opposite extreme, there wwas Zendikar, a tectonically unstable plane even for the floating landmass that was Emeria. It was as if the land itself there was alive, on a scale far greater than Jund during the days of the Mending of the Shards.
Since the explosion of the Maelstrom, the world of Alara had become about as at peace as it was going to get--sightings of Nayan behemoths on the endless plains were becoming more common, and even the occasional dragon was visible in the distance. These creatures, rather than instilling fear, reminded him of his friends. But that was ancient history to him now, and he didn't exactly have time to visit. If he ran into the sigiled champion Josh, then he would say hello. But he didn't have time to actively seek out his friends. The only bloodline guardian of Alara left in Bant was Sharuum, and that assumed she was still taking refuge from Esper's fallout.
That was enough thinking about the past. Maybe the priests and clergy at the church building within the Seaside Palace could fill him in on what happened during his absence. His mind made up, Eron took low-altitude flight and headed for the palace doors.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
ooc: $#&%ing family not allowing me to post due to way too much crap going on. This is why I don't like hosting 25 people. -_-
"Eron, Blessed of Eos," he introduced himself, his angelic wings an indicator of his class. "Has it been so long that Bant has forgotten the faces of the heroes of the Maelstrom War?" He paused for a bit. No reply. "Right, my reason for being here. My search for the archangels of the former Cathedral of Bliss, particularly Asha herself, have come up blank. I'm merely looking to be filled in on what has happened with regards to her and the Church in my long absence." He left Bant not too long after the war ended, and had no clue what had happened or even how much time had passed; as he discovered, time flows differently on other planes.

I don't know much about the storyline here; is there something that actually happened, or am I just making it up?
Eron was one of the five freedom fighters who freed Alara from her terrible fate at the hands of the Progeny when Sedris' bloodline was severed, and there was no being left to maintain the balance of black mana in the world. The long chain of events in Eron's backstory has more information. If you have any more questions, ask via PM.
Sorry if I'm making this hard for you by being better-versed in the Alara story than you are. =/
