-<The Book>-
Ilshenar is a place of many mysteries. There in Lakeshire <a small town inhabited by Meers> lives an Npc Mage named Libroz. Because of a strange overnite glitch... he woke up changed. A new burst of intelligence enabled him to create his own small virtual world! It all came about one day while sitting in his home testing a small fragment of blackrock. He took from his library an old Book bound in red-leather which contained an ancient spell of magical essence.
As he spoke the words, 'Mentis Pario Mundus' a great blast caused the Book to glow. The words inside it had changed. Now they simply said:
--You are Talon-- This was very strange. He pondered some form of response and wrote...
"Where am I?"
Then closed the Book.
-<The Adventure>-
Later he took another glance inside its pages. There under his question were now the words...
--You are in Britima--
So Libroz wrote back,
"What do I see?"
Nothing happened till he closed the Book then reopened it and these words appeared...
--You see a road--
Unable to pull himself away, he wrote again...
"Can I go forward?"
He closed the Book and quickly opened it to see...
--You move forward--
'Ahhhh!', exclaimed the Mage. This would begin a new world of mysterious adventure. Here a Book was responding to his words, leading him on into an unseen world, a virtual world of his own. Quickly he wrote...
"What do I see?"
--You see a hill--
"I wish to go forward"
--You move forward--
"I wish to stop"
--You have stopped--
Just then Libroz heard a loud sound outside.
He put away the Book and looked out his window to see a pack of Ratmen chasing some Outlanders.
He had to pull himself away and go run errands.
Later that day upon returning home, all he could think about was his virtual world. Once he'd closed his window and locked his door he sat down again at his desk with his magic Book. He began his adventure...
"What do I see?"
--You see a road--
"I wish to go forward"
--You move forward--
He needed items.
"Do I have a pouch?"
--Pouch Contents--
Dagger, Heal Potion, Bandages, Map, Key
"I wish to use the Map"
--You see Plassia far to the north and Cassia near to the south--
-<The Obsession>-
This continued late into the night. He was still there writing, closing and opening the Book, going on and on until the next morning. Exhausted he fell asleep until later that day and woke up to eat.
Normally he would have gone to the forest to challenge an Outlander, or visited the Rat Cave to raid their treasures. Today all he had on his mind was his amazing new virtual world, Britima. So again he sat at his desk and opened his Book to begin another adventure.
He was very happy with his progression in the Book. He had traveled a long distance, acquired a sturdy new shield, and was standing at the entrance to an ominous looking Darkened Forest.
"I wish to go forward"
--You move forward--
>!A rat is attacking!<
"I wish to use my dagger"
--You kill the rat--
Libroz was excited that Talon made his first kill.
"I want to loot the body"
--You loot 100 gold-- Talon would have plenty of gold if this continued.
He came upon a dungeon.
-<The Dungeon>-
"I wish to enter dungeon"
--You enter dungeon--
>!A dragon is attacking!<
"I wish to use my dagger"
--Your dagger fails--
>!You receive damage!<
"I wish to use a bandage"
>!You receive damage!<
"I wish to exit"
'Whew, that was a close call', he thought outside. He'd be more cautious.
"I wish to look south"
--You see a road--
"I wish to go forward"
-<The Cities>-
He continued walking down the road for some time. He arrived at a city.
<Welcome to Cassia>
--You see city gates--
"I wish to enter"
--This gate is locked--
"I wish to use my key"
--You unlock the gate--
"I wish to go forward"
--You move forward--
He explored for hours. Then after midnight there appeared a message he had not yet seen before...
--You see Leeya--
"Hello Leeya"
--"Hello, who are you?"
"Talon, but really Libroz"
--"I am really Vyestra"
--"I am from Napa"
Libroz was surprised!
She was using the same little virtual world that he was. He quizzed her and found out that she too was an Npc Mage but from the Lost Lands of Felucca. After spending a lot of time chatting about things in common, they were curious about the city Plassia that was shown on their maps.
They set out together on a journey to find it and that which awaits them.
They walked along the road for days, and saw many wonderful things, stopping now and then to kill a rat. They finally arrived in Plassia and found that many people were there, and that they were all characters like Talon and Leeya, controlled by Npc Mages in Sosaria using a magic Book. It was a nice place. They strolled thru the city and chatted with others, killed more rats and stopped inside various shops to browse vendors.
They found great prices on rares and other items there in that city. Their true desire was to stay in Plassia and live happily ever after, together there in their own little virtual world of Britima.
-<The Epilogue>-
One day Talon went to the Magic Book Shoppe and found an old Book that came with a small stone. He was curious...
"Vendor Buy"
--Choose your Item--
--You buy an item--
"I wish to read book"
--Mentis Pario Mundus--
Talon was shocked. It was the same book as Libroz used, but within his own virtual world!
Could there be another virtual world within this one? Dare he say the spell and use the Book to start another world? Is it possible that Talon could become lost in a vast, dimensional maze of virtual worlds? If you happen to see a Book for sale with the words 'Mentis Pario Mundus' and happen to cast the spell holding a piece of blackrock in your hand, who knows what things could happen to you.
Some day after enough searching you may also discover your own... ...Unseen World.
