Current News
Queen of Zhah of the
gargoyle Royal City has
been distressed as of
late, concerning the
return of the most
formidable and horrid
servant of the Void.
Named Scelestus the
Defiler, this daemon
proved invincible to any
weapon or spell wielded
against him. The daemon
was ultimately imprisoned
on the hidden Athenaeum
Isle. The queen has
deployed a regiment of
troops to the isle in the
past few days. We will
report on further
developments as we
recieve word from our
contacts in Ter Mur.
Town of Yew
On June 19th, 1998
A group gathered at the
famed Serpent Cross
Tavern and spoke of
forming a town council
for the Town of Yew.
This past Sunday marked the 13th anniversary of the organization that many people and guilds were apart of over the years. Happy Birthday Yew! By Giles Freeman, Reporter.
YEW ABBEY: I remember the day I found them, a stack of hide-bound books, soaked through in the rain. The monks had thrown them from the library, but whatever scribe had been tasked with this had cared for the books in the end and covered them in a tent of leather as they lay there for someone to find. That someone was me. I picked up the books and carried them home, dryed them carefully in wool cloth by the fireside as the storm bore down upon the City of Yew. When I opened them, I found out why the monks had cast these books out. It was raving madness, the loose hand of a drunk, the sort of "literature" known popularly as a "lie-bill," those plastered handbills that litter the landscape giving salacioius details about public figures. It was all written by Garrett Granth, once a proud Guardian of Lore, now reduced to drunken debauchery and running a wretched "publishing company." The tale told was, to me, at the time, nothing more than mad conspiracy-mongering. He claimed many things about the upcoming King Addie, Or Adamu Wellings. Wellings had been kept safe by the mysterious Time Lord after the destruction of Magincia. Granth had gone to great lengths to uncover scraps of paper and fact surviving the destruction of the Isle, and these few pieces had led his whiskey-addled mind to an astonishing conclusion: That Adamu Wellings, soon to be crowned King of Sosaria after a bitter debate in the castle proper, was in fact one of these mysterious Time Lords, or some tool or servant thereof! Most rational folk, myself included, shook off these rambling claims. Wellings was chosen by The Crux Ansastra, by Danica herself, and had proven himself above his origins - being found by a Time Lord in a Temporal Vortex - time and time again. So imagine my surprise reports came in from the Crowning. So shocked was I that I dropped my dinner to the floor and spilled the ale! The Crowning had been interrupted by none other than the Time Lord, who had taken those assembled on a wild chase through the Realms of Mana and Void, finally revealing a horrific result: That Adamu WAS the Time Lord, displaced through space and time via his own incomprehensible powers! The ramblings of the madman made sense in this light, and the once-young Adamu, now aged and infirm, made his way to the Magincia he loved as a youth, where he shall watch it become a town again. The boy who would be king, a Time Lord? The drunk who none believed, now correct? The babe found is now an old man? This reporter does not know what to think anymore. Throw away what you believed, dear reader, for it is most certainly wrong!
This Month's Horoscope
The Peddler-January
Good luck is on your side
today, because you're
tapped into a sense of
higher purpose...jacking up
the prices on your Luna
vendors.
The Mongbat-February People will be watching you more in the following days...most often at the bank..pointing at your crappy armor.
The Phoenix-March Remember. Others admire a person who is straightforward and genuine. Work on faking those qualities and you'll earn tons of respect. The Sea Dragon-April Today is a good time to be bold and take chances. See that thing over there? Go poke it with a stick.
The Hermit-May Try to make it a point to improve your memory skills or write things down more often. All your plants are dead
The Llama-June In dealing with others, forget about winning or losing, and seek a compromise instead. Ask the other person what they need to feel comfortable and listen carefully when they answer. When their guard is down, grab all their cool stuff, and run.
The Ancient Wyrm-July You have the attention of a certain person. You'll build this person's excitement and anticipation by not asking for what you want right off the bat.Then at that moment, you will strike and crush that person's dreams. The Anvil-August The routine gets boring. That is, until you arrive on the scene to provide refreshing alternatives ...and booze.
The Weaver-September It's time to start rebuilding some of those bridges you burned lately. Stupid Pyromaniac!
The Wisp-October Grampa's running around the neighborhood naked again. Looks like It's your turn to bring him back.
The Unicorn-November You've never been the type to believe in love at first sight, or anything else even slightly romantic, for that matter.
The Wanderer-December Tonight, supper will be waiting for you. A dish of roasted chicken with potatoes. A fresh baked apple pie is cooling. But someone forgot to goto the local tinker and get more plates. That's when the fightin' starts.
Figure out which month you were born on, to know your sign.
