Searching for Oge
January 1225 - Adventure 18
Thubayta Al-Shafiyya, accompanied by Hyperides Hylas and Ivan Volkov, journeys to Thrace to investigate stories of a djinni protecting a village there. While investigating, she meets Oge, a former Hermetic maga and runaway apprentice of her own Salomonic master, Salima. Oge tells them how Salima wanted to use her as a new body for her transmigration, just like she suspects was the plan for Thubayta as well. She also tells them about someone called Tamen-Set, whom she claims taught Salima the ritual of transmigration many years ago. She tells them she fled Salima into the Order of Hermes, but was eventually Marched by an Iberian magus named Abu Al-Din, whom Thubayta met when young and knows is an ally of Salima and a friend of Eric d'Ancelin's pater. They offer Oge to help her return to the Order of Hermes, but she declines and leaves. On the way back, Hyperides destroys a strategically significant bridge, thereby aiding the Nicaean troops.

Notes: This adventure tied in to the backgrounds of two of the characters, Thubayta and Eric. But it also featured cameos and references to the characters both players had in an older Saga I had run in the Provençal Tribunal, many many years ago, back in second and later third edition.
