Editing Devokan Trust (section)

==Characters==

'''Dot Macchi''' (IC): present-day member of the [[Guild of Maintainers (restored)|Guild of Maintainers]]. When the Cavern closed she was involved (as part of GoMa mission 'To protect and serve the Community') in supporting explorers' attempts to 'find a way, make a home' in other worlds. This included two areas in [[w:There (virtual world)|There]] (Camp Bravo and other Ages in Tyr, Eder Devokan in a mountainous area on NW Aurora). She also set up another outpost for GoMa in [[w:Second Life|Second Life]], originally on Devokan Island.

'''Quinquifid "Quin" Oddenfen''' (IC): steampunk-era scientist, engineer and explorer. A bit of a loner, he turned up at Devokan Island at roughly the same time as Dot to claim Oddenfen Cottage/House, left to him by his late Aunt Elspeth. Elspeth's will mentions certain responsibilities yet to be carried out (e.g. setting up a foundation for researching and restoring 'lost pages').

'''Elspeth Quintessence''' (deceased) (IC): a lady explorer of the early steampunk era; lived for years among the cultures and civilisations she discovered. Quin took delivery of her journals, and occasionally drip fed ideas and facts from them.

'''Paislee Myrtle''' (IC): an original inhabitant of the village on Devokan Island, from the same era as Quinquifid. Looked after Quin's Aunt Elspeth in her latter years, and remembers some of the stories she told of her past life. (OOC, the main architect behind the Devokan areas).

'''Nalates Urriah''' (IC): future-era warrior who enjoyed the peace and serenity of Devokan Island in between battles. Her advanced technology was instrumental in tracing back to the source world (OOC: OSgrid) of the mysterious glowing spheres.

Other present-day Uru explorers involved at various times are: Ametist, Lightkeeper, Fax Paladin, Holli, Artair, DMom, Jim, Andy Legate, Mat, and others.
