Nostur'yl Update
A few nights ago the Minoc Obsidian Post was taken by Lady Laene & dumped into the east oceans. Later into the night the Serpent's Hold post was wan by Nostur'yl after a grewsome battle.
On Sunday evening, Nostur'yl tried to open the gate to the abbyss with only 7 of the 8 posts. However, he failed and brought about nothing but Hell Hounds.

THE VIRTUES: WHAT THEY ARE, & WHICH ON IS FOR YOU.
The Eight Virtues are a set of roles that Lord British set up for the citizens of Britannia to live by. The Following article is part one of a four part story that describes The Eight Virtues. In part one the 2 virtues are Honesty & Spirituality
HONESTY
Honesty describes someone with the heart to tell the Truth at all times. Lord British created this Virtue because he felt that all citizens should never tell someone anything but what is true. Someone who follows Honesty has these traits:
+ Honest
+ Reliable
+ & Trustworthy
Honesty is made up with the principle of Truth. If you describe yourself with this Virtue, maybe you should join up with The Moonglow Council of Honesty, which follows this Virtue. The color of Honesty is Blue.
SPIRITUALITY
Spirituality describes someone with the heart to help. May it be a young person who is in need of wares, or a wounded warrior who needs to be healed. A spiritual person does not think about helping, he must react quickly as if a stranger was his best friend. A Spiritual person has these traits:
+ Humble
+ Kind
+ Well Mannerd
+ & Spiritual
Being Spiritual means that you meditate often, & care for all of The Eight Virtues. Spirtuality is made up of all of the Three Principles Truth, Love, & Courage.
If Spirituality is you Virtue, mayhap you should start up the Skara Brae Council of Spirituality, for Skara Brae is the City of Spirituality. White is the Color of Spirituality.

Avarunn, City of the Nrc
Just the other day I was traveling to the Trinsic Swamps, in Trammel, when I happened upon an ancient cemetery, which was surrounded by buildings all sharing the same symbol on their sign. I found this quite intriguing and so decided to explore a bit more. The first one I entered, a large tower, was titled "Avarunn City Hall -The Cult of Infernal Necromancy."
I had heard of this Cult and knew that they studied the Black Arts so I was a bit concerned upon entering the building, but my curiosity got the best of me. The first floor seemed normal enough, even quite nice. There were many places to sit and share a conversation, plenty of light, rugs and even flowers. I continued up the tower only to find that the first floor was just a ruse for what horrors were housed here.
The second chamber was a torture room or jail cell of some sort. The smell was absolutely unbearable, coming from decaying bodies, I raced up the steps to escape it. The third floor was also quite pleasant; a bedroom with many flowers from different men, valentines scattered about, art work here and there.
You could tell that the woman that lived here was quite appreciated by the men. I continued up the stairwell, but an odd odor wafted down, somewhat like Iron. I reached the top and could not believe what I saw before me.
'Twas a pool of Blood! With body parts in it no less! I was completely aghast and had to flee the place immediately.
I decided mayhap the rest of the town would not be so grim and continued on. The small marble to the east of the tower was a rune library, and although a bit grim, 'twas nothing compared to what I had just seen.
The small tower to the south of that was a personal abode, as was the small tower just to the east.
I headed over to the west side of the graveyard and happened upon a tavern.
I could use a drink so I opened the door and out came the vilest stench I had ever smelled, rotting corpses and entrails lay about the place.
'Twas covered in black fabric and skulls and bones scattered the floor. To say the least I fled there as well. I headed a bit north to another small marble which was "A house of Poison."
It too was quite ghastly. The log cabin to the north of that was quite nice however, housing a professional carpenter selling his wares. I was unsure if this was all so I headed south again only to find a Castle. It 'twas the Avarunn Town Square, though under construction, by the look of it I assume it will become a Vendor Mall of sorts.
To the east of this castle was another large tower, the home of The Ratskins. It was also dire inside, just as the rest of the town had been. Though by this time I was not surprised. Although now that I look back I should not have been surprised at all since it was run by the Infernal Cult.
The few persons I met there were quite friendly, however I wonder if that was just a ruse as well. I have heard since that many an event will be held there. I will definitely keep my eye on it and its darkness within.
