An Uneventful Trip
See Cortex Entry: An Uneventful Trip for More Details
An uneventful trip so far, but it's been wonderful to see places I've only ever heard of in tales. We're coming up to some ruins that were either part of the Arcanist academy or a Sentinel outpost of some kind. So many ruins in this area. I can just imagine the Freelancers Three zooming around here, fighting chimera. Oh, we've stopped. I wonder why?
Anzu (3)
See Cortex Entry: Anzu (3) for More Details
Under the hill, there lived an Anzu named Ezurite, whose cruel and nefarious ways were known to all travelers of the high road. Furious that the urgoth who once worshipped him were no more, Ezurite found amusement in bringing ruin to peaceful settlements and devouring whole herds of korox. This was the task the Emperor set before them—to rid the north of this malicious monster and clear the trade route to Freemark. And so, after settling their tab and getting a night's sleep, the Freelancers Three set off in search of the monstrosity.

Chimera
See Cortex Entry: Chimera for More Details
Perimodes, Urry, and Gillimer spent the night rounding up the unfortunate wolven chimera, until only one remained. Perimodes, who took no pleasure in his task, called his fellowship to halt, so he might speak with the altered beast.
"What would you have me say?" asked the chimera.
"I wish to hear your voice. I must know if all of your kind is as cruel."
The chimera spewed icy breath at Perimodes. "I do not speak with men. I destroy them. I must destroy all."
Urry laughed. "Well, at least it knows what it wants."

Freelancers (1)
See Cortex Entry: Freelancers (1) for More Details
Independent lancers who chose to follow General Tarsis and the Path of Valor. They silence cataclysms and aid those in need beyond the safety of the walls. Freelancers act without direct orders from any central organization. Though there is no official code, the modern perception of Freelancer values is attributed to Dalathie's The Freelancers Three.
Valor to serve the people, regardless of their station.
Courage to bring silence when the Anthem sing.
Faith to keep my word and the word of my brethren.
Trust that the free answer when called.
Strong Alone, Stronger Together.
Shaper Relics (6)

The relic shuddered before them, and the Freelancers sprang into action. Perimodes went left, gathered the nearest echo into his pack, then dashed to the relic, quickly restoring it. Gillimer went right, to protect the citizens of the market and lead them to safety. Lastly, Urry—suddenly free of his previous intoxication—raised his mace and chortled heartily at the chimera that sprung from the relic's maw.

Tears of Liatrelle (District)
See Cortex Entry: Tears of Liatrelle (District) for More Details
While Urry and Perimodes bounded along the trail, singing “Karin the One-Handed Barmaid,” Gillimer stopped for a moment to watch the Tears of Liatrelle fall. How lucky he was to be here with his companions, and be reminded of Tarsis’ most trusted friend. He thought of how Liatrelle had stopped fighting to heal her friends, and how her compassion was just as important to the fight as her strength. For a Freelancer without compassion was merely a flailing ursix in the woods.

Dalathie's influential story about Freelancers working around Arath and Velathra, hunting down Anzu and generally having great deal of fun.

The Freelancers Three (2)
See Cortex Entry: The Freelancers Three (2) for More Details
Long ago, in the early Legion Victorious years, the countryside was populated with lancers fair and true. The most famous of these were Perimodes, Gillimer and Urry, and upon recognizing a sympathy between them, the three formed a cooperation. They vowed to follow the example of General Tarsis in courage, faith, trust, and valor, as the Legionnaires did in the glory days. They named their guild The Freelancers Three, and it is here that our story begins.

The Last Sentinel
See Cortex Entry: The Last Sentinel for More Details
All agreed that they should head for Arath, where they could find a good night's rest and visit Old Flori. Once an important citadel guarding travelers along the high road, a battle between two titans outside its doors reduced the citadel to rubble, with only the watchtower remaining secure. Flori stayed behind when the other Sentinels left, continuing to keep the fires lit. Indeed, the last remaining structure had become known not only as safe haven for lancers, but a place where you would be well fed, for Flori was an excellent hunter and an even better maker of soup.

The Watchtower of Arath (District)
See Cortex Entry: The Watchtower of Arath (District) for More Details
According to Garred's “The Volume of Tarsis,” Arden Vassa build the citadel of Arath along the High Road as a base of operations for lancers to keep watch over the strider path. While Arcanists place the time of the Citadel's destruction before the shadow fell on Anshar, there has been speculation over what could have demolished such a large structure, and while chimeric compound is present, there is not enough evidence to support the theory of Cataclysm. In recent years, there has been support for the idea of a titan having wreaked havoc, as stated in Dalathie's “The Freelancers Three.”
