Colonel Vladimir Kerensky lay in the infirmary bed. His body was pale, covered with a vicious rash. His eyes were glazed and he moaned lightly. The man was in great pain. The healers hovered about him on all sides. They didn't know what else to ask, what else to do. Colonel Kerensky could not remember how he came to be here or why. The last thing he remembered, he was at home in Wintermore, not in this fortress in Shieldcrest.

Meanwhile, Arnold Miller moved towards one of the most powerful magical treasures in the Empire, one that made Caer Oakshield special. Behind him lay the bodies of four armed armored guards, two of them trolls. Arnold was unarmed, seemingly human. He knew there would be more guards soon, flooding the room. This artifact was not one that he could be allowed access to in his apparent madness. It was the Door Through Space, a great oaken door set in the walls of the fort, that could be magically linked to any other door in the world, so long as it had no magic wards. A proper sorcerer could choose his destination. Arnold was no proper sorcerer. He opened the door and leaped through, carrying who knows what with him.

((Essentially, if you want to get involved in this, you can be the place Arnold goes first. First nation to post what Arnold experiences coming out a random door in their nation, that's where he is. Others can join so long as they find a valid ic reason to come in.))
