The Common View
Zahira is seen as a dangerous cult that welcomes the Zioth and embraces death. It is led by mysterious druid-like entities known as “True Zahirans.” There is quite a bit of legend surrounding these druids, such as their ability to appear out of nowhere, or the fact that they all look alike., but one could be sure that someone, somewhere had spent a long time thinking about it.

As the night wore on, the fog became heavier and heavier, until fairgoers guided their movements by sound and smell alone. Even those became muted as the middle of the night approached. Were it not for the sheer density of people, one could get lost crossing the street. Winter clothing had been put back on, and now it was soaked as if in a heavy rain. The fog even seeped inside the taverns a little, giving everything a hazy feel, and forcing musicians to wipe down their instruments every half hour or so. The momentum of the Fair was too much for the fog, though. They didn't let it get in the way of their enjoyment. One enterprising person even set up an impromptu fog-race, where the goal was to be the first to run down a street a bring back a flag. Two of the contestants got lost, and it took twenty minutes for anyone to win, but everyone was laughing by the end.
Around midnight, Mindolpha insisted on returning to the inn. It would be less crowded now. Besides, it was getting hard to see anything through the fog. Most of the other fairgoers had already decided to return to their homes and tents. Many stayed in taverns to avoid getting lost, paying a minimal fee to sleep on the common room floor. The Fair didn't stop by any means, but it became a little quieter, and a little less crowded.

The vibrations continued, slowly becoming more intense. Was this the way earthquakes were supposed to happen? Outside, the flimsier buildings started to sway. A few cracks in the distance from strained wood. Then a rumble, and an impossibly loud crash that penetrated the fog as easily as if it wasn't there.

The shaking seemed to go on forever, and when it stopped, it left destruction everywhere. Houses were set at awkward angles or totally destroyed. Only a few buildings made it out unharmed.

Sir Jerenil handled the situation admirably. He recruited a few of the more anxious-looking refugees to help maintain order and serve drinks and food. The musicians – those whose instruments were still in tact – were asked to start playing again, and that improved the mood slightly. Sir Jerenil himself went around the room, making sure the wounded were comfortable, telling people that their homes and families were okay, and doing what he could to make the crowded inn seem like a larger, warmer happier place.

“I'm going out to help. I can't just stand around here any more. The strong box is locked. You three can take payment however you want for drinks, but don't let anyone get out of control. We can't afford that kind of thing right now. Half of the income while I'm gone is yours.” Sir Jerenil stood on the edge of an occupied chair and started talking. No one was listening, so he yelled, “Quiet!” It took another five minutes to actually get people to quiet down. Every time one side of the room stopped talking, the other started up. Finally, things were calm enough for the knight to talk. “Things are crazy right now, but everyone's got to stay calm. By morning, the fog will be gone, and you'll all see how little damage was really done. Your homes will all be waiting for you, and your families and friends will come out of the temples and guild halls where they're waiting, just like you are, for this all to end.

If any strong men are willing to go with me, I'm sure the citizens of Huerten will be grateful.”
With that, Sir Jerenil climbed down from the chair into a clutch of women, nodded to his three deputies, and headed out the door. A couple dozen men made their way through the crowd to follow him.

When he found able bodied men, he organized them to work together to pull people out of the rubble, and lay the injured to one side.
People were anxious to help. When Sahl came along, they looked grateful that someone had finally told them what to do. Soon, Sahl had multiple teams searching building after building. Surprisingly many houses were relatively undamaged; such solid building would be the model for the rebuilding of Huerten.

It had not, however, been built to withstand an earthquake. One of the stilts had split, then another, and another, and the whole inn had collapsed inward. Already, at least a dozen men were pulling people from the wreckage, but it was not nearly enough. The Lodge had been one of the two most popular sites of the Fair. There could have been as many as three, four or five hundred people inside. The lucky ones were now freezing in the lake. The unlucky ones were waiting for death under giant support beams.
Sahl sought out the heads of the rescue teams to appraise them of the situation. He found two himself, and Kayplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigKay Wanderwit

There were no clear leaders among those already digging through the ruins of the Lodge, so Sahl gathered a few of them to discuss how to free the trapped people. He suggested they work together, using horses and oxen to pull off heavy debris, spades and manpower for lighter work, being careful not to collapse the building further.
Nothing was so simple as planned. The stables had collapsed as well, and most of the horses were seriously injured. Being in the heart of the city, the tools Sahl wanted were nowhere to be found, so the teams had to rig harnesses for the horses out of the materials available, and that took time. The one thing that did work out was the chain of command; in the chaos of Huerten, men were eager to follow a strong leader who seemed to know what he was doing.

Boatmen who had been patrolling the shores since the quake collected the freezing people who had been fortunate enough to fall into the lake before being crushed.
After two exhausting hours of work, one of the leaders grabbed Sahl by the arm and ran with him towards the rubble. “My team found him,” he panted. “The baron. Right in the middle, on the center stage. His legs are wedged between the main support post and the stage. The post is tilting. It could fall and take the rest of the Lodge with it.”
“You men!” Sahl motioned to a team of burly rescuers. “Pick up strong beams, any strong lengths of wood you can find, and wedge them under main post. It must not fall! Or the baron's legs will be crushed, and we may be caught in the fall!” Rescuers rushed to obey him. Beams of wood were plentiful, and several were wedged in place to hold the main post. Then Sahl turned his attention to the baron. “Right men, we can't move this post off him because it's holding up the roof. I want two strong men to work with pick and shovel. You and you, loosen the boards and rubble below the baron's legs. Mind you don't injure him. You don't have to go deep, just a few inches so that we can drag him out. The rest of you, keep working to fix that main post in place!”
Sahl approached the baron. “How do you feel your lordship? Are your legs injured?”
“How do I look like I feel? The Lodge is gone, the help is dead, the city's in ruins – or is it just my inn? Wouldn't that be my luck. Damn fog. And to top it off, if you hadn't noticed, I've got ten thousand pounds of _wood_ lying across my legs! Bankrupt, _and_ I'll never walk again. That's a good day. Oh and what do you know?

Ow! watch what you're doing! You! Come to gloat, have you?”
“Gloat?” asked one of the men, trying to sound in good humor. Sahl recognized him. It was Sir Jerenil, proprietor of the First Knight Inn. “It won't be any fun competing against a pile of rubble. We'll have you out of here and your inn put back together in no time.”
“That thing is an Ostmark Oak, a gift from Diure the Fifty-eighth. It's rooted eight feet into the ground. If it's tilting, there won't be anything to put back together soon.”
There was a loud crack as a large piece of wood split somewhere nearby. The floor shifted, and the beams people were setting up to catch the main post fell. Men helped each other up and got back to work with desperation.

“I'm right here, you ignorant oaf,” Baron Huerten growled. “Do not dare to speak of me in my presence. Do what he says, now, or I'll see you suffer for it.” The baron gasped in pain, suddenly finding it difficult to breathe.
Sir Jerenil lifted the baron onto a wide board that had been one of the beautifully polished wood panels that has lined the inside of the Lodge. “Take the other end,” he said, and the man complied, fear in his eyes. The two of them navigated the rubble, heading away from the post as quickly as they could.
So smoothly that no one noticed at first, the post began to fall. Soon, it felt like the earthquake had begun anew. The stilted floor shook and rippled, throwing men off their feet so they had to scramble away on all fours. Debris fell over the edge of the still-stilted section where so many people still worked.
