      Battle of The Stars
      No Expiration
      Santo Domingo Adventurer's Guild
      Lately, one request after another has come in asking us to investigate the land to the west. This time a certain powerful family wants us to look into an old legend. That story originated in the town of Merida, which can be reached by heading west from Jamaica. I want you to investigate it immediately.

                                Fight for power
                                Legends from these parts? Could be. In olden times, this place was made up of several countries, constantly at war. The custom of the smaller states following the influence of the larger states prevailed: the result was a struggle for supremacy. Query the town officials.

                                Legend of Merida
                                An old poem passed down through the ages in this town goes thus: "Of the forest and of the stones, gather at the feet of his Excellency. Great accomplishments are inscribed in stone. Great accomplishments are engraved in the heart". Somewhere there might perhaps be found stones inscribed with some history.

                                Indecipherable pattern
                                As a keepsake we gave a stone we picked up in the west to our child, who was thrilled. On hearing "thanks dad", I thought how fortunate it is to be a parent. Then again, it was a peculiar rock fragment, what with the written patterns and all. Found it at Veracruz.

                                In infinite numbers
                                If that, then you can find it well. A fragment, though, hmm. You know, there are a number of complete rocks remaining. An everyday thing for us, we pay it little mind, but for you an interesting item, no? You'd do well to head to the outskirts from the south gate.

                                Rock carved with history
                                To dethrone long-dominant Yax Mutal, Calakmul did by skilful words make the satellites of Yax Mutal dance to its tune. In confronting Yax Mutal, Calakmul furnished gifts on Yax Mutal's estranged satellites, executing a pincer movement. This is known as the War of the Stars.

                                Rock carved with notes
                                There was no stopping the force that stood down Yax Mutal; the armies were at its gate. Defeat after defeat, its famous king died in a fit of rage. Only the young queen and infant king remained. I couldn't help but doubt the proclamation of the queen's ascension.

                                Rock carved with notes
                                Calakmul, taking advantage of Yax Mutal's internal strife, invaded in a bid to extinguish its sworn enemy. Having designs on the overthrow of Calakmul, Pacal the Great, who himself ascended at a young age to become a fearlessly determined leader, took Yax Mutal's king under his protection after the king's rescue in all the confusion.

                                Rock carved with history
                                Yax Mutal eventually overcame its period of darkness and invaded the alienated Dos Pilas state. With renewed confidence, Yax Mutal's king then challenged its arch rival Calakmul to a war of vindication. By its subsequent defeat, Calakmul lost its superior position and the regional powers settled at comparable strength, ushering in a chaotic standstill.

                                Battle of the stars
                                Seems just as the legend says, that near Merida and Veracruz there was an ancient country. Discovered many accounts of a country opposed to Calakmul and supportive of Yax Mutal. There are probably ruins nearby. Check to see if there isn't a road leading inland.

                                    Ancient Mayan ruins shrouded in a thick forest. Beyond a building in the centre which appears to be a palace lies a temple with intricate wall carvings. Much about the Mayans could be learned if these could be deciphered.
