Alvyurin Ekkatran - Back again?!?

Alvyurin Ekkatran - Back again?!? Is this thing working again? That's amazing...It might be just what we need. It's been a long time and some significant things have happened. I hope someone out there is still listening; I'll post more updates as soon as I can. I think we could use your help. Our current peril - by Alvyurin Ekkatran at Thu, 23 Oct 08 18:27:54 -0400 It turns out that there was an enemy lurking in the sands. We don't know how long he's been there. He's some sort of magic-user from another world; we call him the Sorcerer, and he hasn't volunteered any other name. He was the one who stole our water, and he's ordered a regularly scheduled tithe of such. He has golems made of sand that come to collect it, much more well made than our own attempts. The Sorcerer has sent us ultimatums and threats...It seems he wants to make us his subjects, or his army, or something. He's set us collecting stone and making curious carvings. Some say he's going to to use these to create magic items, but I've heard some say it's just red herrings. There seems to be some plan behind what he's doing, but nobody can say what it is. Once, to punish us, he made all the children disappear into the desert. Eventually we found them by the whispering rocks. But, as a show of "generosity", he's also let us use one or two golems for hauling stones. The Sorcerer has us all in a grip of terror. I know there are some of us who want to resist, but not many. The System had been down for a while; we assumed it was his doing. But maybe, if it's back up... fight the power - by Jedditor Lebbisun at Fri, 24 Oct 08 19:15:02 -0400 the sorcerer must be messing with the system. i think the system is fighting back. thats why it hasnt been working for so long. ! - by Keriwen Edrekar at Sun, 26 Oct 08 00:51:10 -0400 Oh, NOW you tell us, Jedditor?

I understand. You drop a stone into water, and it makes ripples, and the ripples disturb everything. It means that things are going to happen, things are starting.

Well - by littleprelude at Tue, 16 Dec 08 22:14:03 -0500 I'm sorry if they're annoyed. But they've been sufficiently cagey that I'm not particularly bothered.
