Phrotonz and Festive

Initial Arrival
Phrotonz awoke face-first on the shore. After lifting his head and looking around, he noticed a familiar figure next to him. It was Festive, lying on the sand and looking as dazed as Phrotonz. However, despite knowing one another, they had no past memories of spending time together, or even where they knew each other from. Only that they were close friends. After exchanging some talk with one another, the two discovered they had lost almost all of their memory, not knowing where they came from, their past, or even their own age. The two brushed it off as them just having a hard night drinking the night prior. However, the land that the two were in didn’t feel right to them.

After brushing off the sand from their scales and clothes, the two looked around and saw smoke rising in just over a small mound. Taking charge, Festive dragged Phrotonz up the hill to get a better look. Coming from near the source of the smoke, the people of Old Lumaire went about their daily lives. Being the hasty one he is, Phrotonz rushed to say hello and ask for assistance. Festive reluctantly followed. The two found themselves talking to two of the locals and got a grip of the surrounding lands of both Old and New Lumaire.

One of the locals noticed that both Phrotonz and Festive had a book strapped to their belts. However, the two didn’t know what these books were about, either. In fact, they had only just noticed them, too. After opening the book attached to Festive, it was discovered to be a partially filled out brewery book, with some basic recipes as well as more difficult ones. Inside the book on Phrotonz, a map of what looked to be a castle, possibly a keep. Phrotonz just ignored it as he hadn’t seen anything like the pictures before. The other pages were empty.

Phrotonz and Festive decided to settle into Lumaire as bards as the spirits of the town had been lowered by a recent attack. Upon settling in, Phrotonz had already started to make a mess of his house. Running experiments, lifting up floorboards, and forgetting to water his balcony plants. Festive took the opposite approach, having his house be fancy and posh. This would be a common theme among the two, Phrotonz being more laid back and carefree, while Festive being posher and more hard-working. Despite the juxtaposition, the two somehow still managed to work in harmony. Soon, Festive and Phrotonz got the go to build a theatre near the heart of Lumaire.

Barding Business
Despite being very different from the other residents of Lumaire, both in how they looked and acted being Dragwen and all, they still found a place to fit in by building the theatre. The exterior of the building was constructed within a matter of days, while the inside took a little longer. After the main interior was complete, the two needed a place to get food and drinks for the guests. Festive turned to his trusty book which he had not yet paid much attention to after the initial discovery. On the first pages, a recipe to a basic Red Wine. Both Phrotonz and Festive raced around to complete the drink, unsure of its properties. After only about a day, the two finally were able to make a perfect bottle. Taking a drink of the wine at the same time, the two discovered a second career path.

After a bit of sobering up, the two had a brilliant idea. Test everything. Potatoes, carrots, fish, flowers, milk, the random rock found under Phrotonz’s floorboards. Eventually, more and more recipes were discovered. After giving out samples, the drinks were a massive hit amongst both residents of Lumaire and travellers alike.

However, one day, the two started making a drink thought to be lost in time. However, neither Phrotonz nor Festive knew this. Within a matter of hours, and without any mistakes, the two made the drink, The Dragwen’s Gænteldvin. Once the drink was completed, a wave of nostalgia rushed over the two. Feeling a bit unsure of what they had created, the called over an expert. Carpicious identified the drink as the real deal and tasted it. Although it made her drunk, Carpicious said she really enjoyed it. Because of this news, Festive and Phrotonz whipped up another batch. And again, neither actually knew the recipe and let instincts guide them. However, like before, the two couldn’t remember the recipe.

The Lumaire Dragwen Stronghold:
Unsure as to why, Phrotonz started tearing up his floorboards in his house. He eventually stumbled across a hard wall made out of purple-red brick. Breaking the wall open, a massive stronghold filled with lava, traps and puzzles was opened up to the world. Feeling some connection to this labyrinth, Phrotonz decided to explore without notifying anyone of his discovery. Phrotonz didn't resurface for the next few weeks. Fearing for his friend's safety, Festive got a group of adventurers together to explore the now uncovered dungeon.

Phrotonz was found lying in a black bed near the core of the world. After being doused with water, Phrotonz awoke. Inside the lowest part of the dungeon, the two found a book which was supposedly written by Festive's father. According to the book which was discovered in the dungeon states that Phrotonz is not a natural creature, rather a clone of Festive. However, the accuracy of this claim is debated due to the many differences in both appearance and attitude between Festive and Phrotonz.
