Sinensis unto Oblivion - Anathema 1 (Alwadiha, Jaern)

The adventurers arrive in Alwadiha, split off from the other party, and travel to Tel Sasab, a town on the cliffs next to the Consortium. They learn of an award being given to Tsorren and his colleagues, one of whom are dead. They learn that the research receiving the award is based on the idea of converting matter into non-physical forms, like energy and a mind.
