Magister Gauen:
Since the era of Shunaiman, the first emperor of the ancient Elmoreden Empire, the Mystics of the Ivory Tower have been researching the Sea of Spores. Around E.D. 500 they constructed a force field tower which stopped the spread of that wretched sea. Their research has continued through the centuries.
They could use some help in their studies, but I'm afraid you're not yet ready.
