Turned boredom into an obsessive art and a way of life. Friend
of Bob, the tree...or was it Steve? Also has a VERY big apatite and a
mouth that generally defies the laws of physics.
Haven't found a good picture for
myself yet...
A person with a mouth like a black hole sucking everything
around it in.
What I Would Want
If I Won:
1. I would like a place where I can hide from the rest of the world,
and am able to change its name when I want to.
2. I would like to be able to cast more spells than I currently can.
(Note to other users: I won't tell you which spells I have.)
3. I would like to be able to change the person I worship.
4. I would like to have some credits.
5. I would like to be able to get into Marind's Balcony.
6. I would like it if i could have at least one wish-point.
7. I need an unlimited amount of space for this page.
Disclaimers:
1. I don't Have to be able to change the name of the place when
i want to, but i would like to be able to.
3. It would most likely be easier for you if i was able to change who I
worship myself.
4. I am only asking for this because my only way of getting credits
right now is through the free credits.

In the Shadow of the Raven
Once there was just darkness, shade on shadow, black on black.
Legend tells us, Raven came and waved the darkness back.
Provider and protector, integral to death and birth,
A paradox in midnight black who brought the light to Earth.
In the Shadow of the Raven we all stand:
More than comrades.
More than brothers.
We are Clan.
The Raven is a trickster and a scoundrel, but take care.
His eye is always watching, always winking, always there.
He spreads his wings and gathers us into his dark embrace:
The poets and philosophers; the bold who seek his face.
In the Shadow of the Raven we all rise:
More than seekers.
More than scholars.
We are wise.
The Raven calls to those who love the dark, yet seek the light.
The more our curiosity, the greater his delight.
He knows our deepest sadness, yet he shares laughter too,
And if things get upset, he understands – its what we do.
In the Shadow of the Raven we all soar:
We are power.
We are brilliance.
We are more.

~The only
thing there is to fear is that
you will go crazy reading this.
~The demise of a country is often caused
by splitting the country
apart.
~When in Rome do not do what the Romans
do especially if they are still
a single empire when you are there.
~To much of anything can kill.
~Death can be found anywhere, but it has
the greatest impact when it
shows up where you least expect it.
~In the end everyone wins, that is
unless you quit.
~Action is not always enough, sometime
thought is also required.
~I am Somewhere, Nowhere, and Everywhere
at the same time.
~I don't remember how I got there, I
just woke up in a cabin. Since
then I'm just walking around, trying to understand what I'm doing here.
And yes, there are those dreams. Don't know what to make out of them.
~Birdy birdy in the sky, left a poopie
in my eye. Me don't care, me
don't cry, me just happy that a cow can't fly!!
~Our BigC, who art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy XP come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily wins.
And lead us not into XP limit,
But deliver us from meager fights.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and
ever.
~I sit upon my seat of glory, thinking
of my awful story! Pondering the
ways of madness. Waiting for the thrill of sadness. I killed a beast so
red and whory, hit him with the thing to gory. Now he sits in piles of
ashes. Waiting for his final passage.
~The path to discovery almost inevitably
leads to wonderment, an
emotion (is it an emotion? or a phenomenon?) one associates almost
exclusively with children. In a land like this, in times like these, we
all become children or we surrender to the mark of time and the marks
of others and we fall. It is wonderment, renewal, that permits us to
continue-- that _drives_ us to persevere-- and so we shuffle on, from
one impossibility to the next, our days falling like dominoes both
forward and back.
Friendship
It isn't so much the companionship that I seek. Actual physical
nearness has no meaning for me-- conversation either. What does is the
knowledge that others hold me in some esteem. No matter they consider
me the most powerful warrior or merely an equal, so long as some regard
is kept I am content. I remember their names.
Aging
I have travelled far in this land. I can show you this in every scar on
my body, and in each wrinkle around my eye. The land-- the journey--
has made its mark on me. It is only my wish that when I am gone I will
have proven that I also made my own mark. My passing will be noted
either in these archives, or in the rough-hewn path I have cut away for
myself, through my enemies and through the dense forests of these
realms.
~Hmm... a sharp stick.
What happens if I poke that guy with it?
Oh.
Maybe, that wasn't such a bright idea.
Ooh... a big rock.
What happens if I throw it at that guy?
Oh.
Hmmm...
Ah, fire.
~On a rugged cliff, the very edge, above
the endless chasm
I keep lashing at my horses with my whip clenched in a spasm
But the air is growing thinner, I am gasping, drowning, crying
I can sense with horrid wonder, I am vanishing, I'm dying
Slow your gallop, oh my horses! Slow your gallop I say!
Don't you listen to my stinging whip!
But the horses I was given, stubborn and so unforgiving,
Can't complete the life I'm living, cant conclude the verse I'm singing
I will stop for a blink, I will let horses drink
For a brief second more, I will stand on the brink...
I will perish, as a feather that the hurricane has swallowed,
In a chariot they'll pull me through the snow in blinding gallop
All I ask of you my horses, slow your pace but for a moment
To prolong the final seconds of approach to my last comfort.
We have made it. Right on time, God has left us with few choices
But the why are angels singing with such fiendish scolding voices,
Or it that the horse bell ringing in a frenzy drenched with tears,
Or is it I the one who's screaming for my horses to shift gears?
Slow your gallop, oh my horses! Slow your gallop I say!
Don't you listen to my stinging whip!
But the horses I was given, stubborn and so unforgiving,
Can't complete the life I'm living, at least let me finish singing...
~If you think i'm plotting something,
You're right I always am
If you don't think i'm plotting something, beware I could be plotting
against you.
If you think they're all out to get you, you're wrong, only I am.
If you think i'm out to get you, I probably am.
If you think there's someone following you, I wanted you to know that I
am
If you don't think there's someone following you, then you just don't
know it yet.
If you choose to believe this or not is up to you, if you live or not
based on that decision is up to me.
~I know she got it Cause she lookin at
me like she want it (Want It)
She Drop it low, Make me wanna throw Some d's on it (Hey)
Excuse me why let me talk to ya for a second,
Lil mama so fine she got the whole squad sweatin,
Damn, how you fit all that in dem jeans
Was the question that i asked followed by let me buy you a drink, drink
Young boss baby i treat cha' treat cha' to the finer things
Neck bling, wrist bling, wedding ring, nah im playin
Might light you neck or wrist
But cha got a right nice dick,ugh
Take trips with the bricks
She got it (she got it) She got it (She Got It) thats what Pain sayin
Them other niggas lame man, lil mamma i got the game plan
2 pistols, me and you boss i make it happen while they talk
Ridin 6's while they walk
~To an age of fear and unreason
I shall bring disaster
Fear shall come, Desesperation shall come, the ‘treason’
Give fact to all, im the dark caster
Of minds long clouded with the pall
Of legend, by myths ensnared
Leaving ageing lords made small
And dynasties unheired
Nothing to fall for
I my friend, am the Tainted
Nothing to die for
I my friend, am the Tainted
You shall hear the raging thunder
the darkness of the day
On my feet you surrunder
Try and stop this madness,
you'll cross the raging thunder
facing the warriors of darkness
that under my command they wander
Unstoppable i am
I my friend, am the Tainted
Powerful i am
I my friend, am the Tainted
~There are 14 dimentions, and they are
as follows:
1- Creation
2- Time
3- Mass
4- Light
5- Matter
6- Heat
7- Destruction
8- Darkness
9- Nothing
10- Anti-Matter
11- Somthing
12- Thought

After you get to the 13 dimention the dimentions repeat themself.
~A confused soul in a strange and
foreign land, I am lost in my own
thoughts. Birthed from a blackened carnival nightmare into a place
where the sun never sets and strange beasts bound to my soul fight the
battles I choose, for good or otherwise. In a simpler day I wondered
what is my purpose? What am I doing here? But now these questions seem
much deeper. Why was I chosen to end up in this land? Who is the
strange maiden who asks so plaintively for my help, and what could she
possibly see in me?
The more I learn the more lost I become. With every fact I gather, I
find there is more lurking in the shadows waiting to be discovered. I
wander slowly, my beasts tucked close to my pounding breast knowing
that each soul I pass my be my new enemy, or an ally still
undiscovered. As the heat of battle cools I know that I have found my
purpose...TO KNOW.
I welcome anyone with interesting information of any sort to send a
scroll my way that we can examine it together and learn from each
other. My particular interest is the history of this land and whatever
became of Jack Willow. I also love random gossip, interesting secrets,
and new happenings in the land.
I know that I am still inexperienced and weak, but my quest has become
to help those that I can, and learn from those that may help me. Those
who wish to learn may send a scroll at any time, and those who wish to
teach, please know that my ears and heart are open.
I am seeking adepts to guide in the ways of this strange place. If you
would like assistance with basic game play concepts or general
explanation I am always happy to help. Those who seek to adept will
find that I am quick to answer questions and queries, but will not
spoil the game for anyone. Those who do not wish to adept can also
message me, I like to help and will do my best to answer your
questions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Why did the
chicken cross the road?---------------------------------------------------------------------
KINDERGARTEN
TEACHER: To get to the other side.
PLATO: For the greater good.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross
roads. KARL MARX: It was an historical inevitability.
TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the
establishment would let
it take.
SADAAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of
rebellion and we were
quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
RONALD REAGAN: I forgot.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no
chicken has gone before.
HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in
its pancreas.
DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORP: Deregulation of the
chicken's side of the road
was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced
with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies
required for the newly competitive market. Digital Consulting, in a
partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by
rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation
processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Digital helped
the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital, and
experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in
support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework.
Digital Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts
and best chickens along with Digital consultants with deep skills in
the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of
meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both
tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in
order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully
architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across
the continuum of poultry, cross-median processes. The meeting was held
in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment
which was strategically based, industry focused, and built upon a
consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the
chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards
the creation of a total business integration solution. Digital
Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: I envision a world where
all chickens will be
free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and
He said unto the
chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road,
and there was much rejoicing.
FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your
own eyes. How many more
chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?
RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the
road. I repeat, the
chicken did NOT cross the road.
MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken
crossed the road. Who cares
why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.
JERRY SEINFIELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I
mean, why doesn't
anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking
around all over the place anyway?"
FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned
that the chicken crossed
the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken
Office 2009, which
will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important
documents, and balance your checkbook.
BILL GATES - Service Pack 1: The chicken did not
cross the road, it
performed an illegal operation and had to shut down
OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the
chicken cross the
road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom
we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"
DARWIN: Chickens, over a great period of time,
have been naturally
selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross
roads.
EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road
or the road moved
beneath the chicken depends on your frame of reference.
BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own
chicken nature.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross
the road...it
transcended it.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.
STALIN: In Soviet Russia, road crosses chicken.
It all began in a quiet
town called Bannered. With a man named Blane. It was 3 am when he
arrived at Red Lace Lane. He dug through his pockets to find the key to
his new house. He found it, pulled it out of his pocket and noticed the
letters TG .He thinks to himself "Wonder what that means? Oh well." He
unlocks the door, opens it and walks in. He detects a weird smell that
he can't quit figure out what it is. He goes back out to his car gets
his sleeping bag and pillow. Then he goes back in and goes to sleep.
When he wakes up he finds big pile of dung right in front of his face.
The dung startles him and he jumps up his heart pounding. "Wonder how
that got there? Oh well." He picks up the dung and throws it out back.
He looks and his watch and realizes that the moving truck should be
here in 5 minutes. He goes and waits outside. When the moving truck
driver arrived at the house Blane was standing in the outside talking
to Andy who was telling him about the person who lived in his home
before him. As the truck driver drove up the road Blane and Andy moved
out of the driveway so that he could park in the driveway. When he got
out of the moving truck they were saying good-bye, and Andy went home,
while Blane came over to the truck driver and said "Didn't see any one
yelling about a ghost did you?" The truck driver slightly confused said
"No, why?" "No reason" he said. They continued to unpack the moving
truck. When they came back out to get the TV Blane noticed a pile of
dung sitting just behind where the couch was. Blane asked the moving
truck driver "where did you sleep last night?" He answered "in the back
of the truck just behind where that dung is. It wasn't there when I
went to sleep but, when I woke up it was right in front of my face."
then Blane thinks "hmm weird." And they continued to unpack the moving
van. After they finish unpacking Blane asks "So how much do I owe you?"
the driver answers "Nothing." So Blane goes back inside and starts
getting the furniture where he wants it. He had just moved the couch
where he wanted it when he notices another pile of dung where the couch
was. He has an idea and he moves the couch again and sure enough there
was another pile of dung there. So he tuns the couch on it's back and
notices that there is no hole in it. He tries to figure out were the
dung is coming from. He can't find where it is coming from so he
continues to move the furniture where he wants it. He finishes and
starts unpacking the boxes. He notices that each of the boxes had the
same letters on it TG. He unpacked some of the boxes and went to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning there was another pile of dung in
front of his face. He got up and threw the dung out back. Then he heard
a splat and saw some dung floating in mid air! He opened his eyes wide
in astonishment, rubbed them, and then opened them wide again. He
couldn't believe his own eyes. Dung floating? How can that be real? He
says to himself "My eyes must be playing tricks on me again," and walks
back inside unable to believe what he had just seen. He drunk some
coffee and went out front to get the mail. He goes to his mailbox and
gets the mail out. There is a coupon for dung on top. He closes the
mailbox and starts to walk in, and then he notices a newspaper in the
driveway. He bends down and picks it up. As he stands back up a pile of
dung whizzes past his had and hits the spot he had just vacated. Blane
started running towards the house and when he was inside he slammed the
door and heard a big splat! Catching his breath he walks over to the
window and looks through the blinds to see who had been throwing dung
at him. Amazingly all traces of what had just happened had dissapeared.
He felt his back where he knew a pile of dung had hit him, but his back
was completely clean. "Good Greif i must be going crazy!" he said as he
sat down on the sofa. He thought about what had happened recently that
could have made him go crazy. Desiding that thinking about it would
just make him go even more crazy, he resigned to work on unpacking the
boxes. The next morning there was of course another pile of dung in
front of his face, but instead of throwing the dung out back as he
normally did he decided to keep it and show it to his neighbor, to see
what they made of it. Before he went over he had his usual cup of
coffee. He was nervious as he walked next door, in fear of somting like
yesterday happening again. He rang the doorbell and the door was
answered almost imedeatly and while the door was still opening he was
ushered inside. When he got past the door, the door was closed quickly
and suddenly, as if in fear of somthing. Turning around he said, "I
suppose you want to know where the pile of dung that is always infront
of your face when you wake up comes from?" Startled Blane said, "How
did you...." "Know? I know because that is the first question that
every new person to move in around here asks." "So I don't need this?"
Blane said as he pulled out the pile of dung he had kept from earlier.
"Nope." "Okay I'll just throw it out back then." Just make sure you
don't hit the ghost!" "Ghost? So that's what I hot yesterday morning!"
"You hit the ghost?" "Well I think i did because after i through it out
it floated in the air, as if it hit somthing." "So thats what the noise
was yesterday morning." "Do you know why all the dung dissapeared?"
Blane asked. "No, I wish I did though.

1. Why are there so
many
bugs and why is so much missing?
Magicduel is still in alpha testing, although it`s open to the
public. All players are test subjects and
are encouraged to report any bugs they experience in the forums. Those
who have been playing the longest or are the most advanced are
privileged when it comes to testing new things. It is up to you whether
or not you want to participate in this phase of the game development,
but those who do are shaping what the game will be when it`s completed
and enters officialdom.
Work on magicduel began in 2005. In 2007, it became public so
that
players could sign up and play immediately. This is a unique position,
as most games stay in closed testing while in alpha. You can think of
magicduel as a game that will be in perpetual alpha.. there are always
new things, including big and unthought of concepts, being added or
tested.
Many players will be willing to help if asked, and it won`t
hurt
to
try. Also, there is a Live Help button on the right side of the
interface that appears whenever at least one moderator is online.
4. I don`t see icons on the left sidebar
like
I`m supposed to, such as the scroll and map.
Sometimes you need to clear cache and refresh. If that doesn`t
work,
try logging out and back in. Finally, you may not have picked them up
like you were supposed to ;) Reread the scroll and if you need
clarification, pm me.
At this point, there isn`t much strategy. The shades will only
do
normal attack, so you just need brute strength. If all your creatures
are healed, you have max VE and you use a full-VE rit with all your
creatures and still get defeaten, you just need more creatures. Try
again when you`ve regenerated. This also applies to the Willow Shop
guards, when you encounter them. (Hint: you can get more than one for
each kind of creature.)
If you look to the right, there should be a counter which
shows
some
numbers (xx:xx). Those are min:sec until the next regeneration occurs,
giving you 500 vital energy, 300 value points, 25
action points and 2 exploring points each time. Each
regeneration is 10 minutes from the last.
7. Even though the regeneration counter
finished, or I got some VE/VP from sacrificing, nothing has changed!
First off, after a bit of time, the regen counter can lag. You
may
need to refresh to accurately gauge when the next regeneration is.
Also, the stats don`t update until the little golden circle under your
bars of stats has a bar at the top, or where the hands would be on a
clock if it was 12 o`clock. For max VE and VP, you may need to clear
cache and refresh, or log out and back in.
If you`ve already recruited creatures, you should see a dragon
icon
(looks more like a pile of sludge to me, but others tell me it`s a
dragon) on the left sidebar. If you don`t, refer to #4. If you do,
click on that icon. It will bring you to a page with pictures of your
creatures with orange bars below them if wounded. Click on the orange
bars to give a percentage of your VE.
Click on the dragon icon on the left sidebar, and then the
picture
of the creature you want information about. It will bring you to a
description of the creature, show its abilities in fights and reveal
the requirements to upgrade to the next level. When you have met almost
all the requirements, there will be a gray ring around the picture of
the creature (in the page you`re brought to by clicking the dragon). If
you have met all, there will be an orange ring, and when the
creature-icon is clicked, the creature description page should have a
button for upgrading it (and renaming, if the creature is in its high
levels). When the creature is maxed, it will have a permanent gold ring
around it.
You don`t need to do anything for age. Age increases 1 unit
per
24
hours from the time of recruitment, regardless of online or offline
status. Some creatures will have high age requirements to upgrade, and
therefore some better creatures may be restricted to older players.
Different choices in the story will give different stat
bonuses
and
quests which will affect gameplay. After players reach certain criteria
of experience and won fights, they can reset the story to play it a
different way and gain another mindpoint, enabling the selection of
another principle. There are many different routes in the story, and
players are encouraged to choose different options each time to gain
the most diverse gaming experience as possible. It is the story behind
all of the concepts and the map of magicduel, and there will be
story-related features such as access to another land and quests in the
future.
Principles will be used for magic, which is supposed to be
implemented in the next alpha stage. You can only have as many
principles as your mindpower level. It`s up to you to decide which ones
you like best and will fit your playerstyle. You can increase
principles through storyand sacrificing.
13. Why can`t my creatures get anymore
exp
or
won fights all of a sudden?
You`ve probably hit the exp cap for your mindpower level, or
if
you`re in mp3, gotten 100 won fights. These are the requirements to
advance to the next mindpower level. The reason why there are caps is
to stop players from staying in one mindpower level to grow stronger by
picking on the weaker players there, and encourage them to advance to
the next one.
Explore! You may find some interesting things, including
quests
and
puzzles. You should continue the story whenever you can and train your
creatures by attacking other players.
15. Where do you find creatures,
sanctuaries,
shops and sacrifice altars?
All of these can be found scattered around the different
lands.
Keep
on exploring and if you see something curious (like a door or strange
figure) move your cursor over it. If part of the thing or all of it
glows golden, it means you can interact with the thing, whatever it is.
Click and find out. If you have trouble finding any of the above
mentioned, you may ask another player who would be willing to give
directions.
Armor raises different skills and stats, as can be seen when
you
click details in the armor page. These skills can be distributed among
your monsters when you fight (see #17).
Your skills are distributed among your creatures when
fighting,
along with your vitality depending on how strong the vitality bond is
set in a ritual; the greater the bond, the more % gets distributed.
Different skills influence your creatures in different ways; i.e.
attack raises damaged and defense lowers damage done to your creatures.
Other skills are used outside of battle, such as briskness and luck.
There is a list of skills and their effects you can access by going to
your profile page then go to 'more info'.
Sometimes a choice in the story will give you negative stats
bonuses, and if you lose more than you have, your stats will become
negative. Don`t be discouraged because you are bound to make choices
that will give you positive bonuses and you can always gain stats other
ways, such as sacrificing creatures. Players who stick to a single
route which always gives them positives bonuses in the story will miss
out.
This option is only available after tutorial mode, in free
roam.
Click on a playername in your mindpower in the player list and then on
the button that says ``Attack this player for ___ honor.`` You can only
attack people in your mindpower level. You can tell what mp level a
person is in by the yellow symbol by their name; a whole yellow cross
is mp3, a black dot in the middle of a cross is mp4, and a single black
dot under a yellow dot is mp5. Only the orange playernames can be
fought; black means the player has moved to another area, and gray
means that the player is offline.
Based on the damage done, you gain experience and skill
rewards,
as
well as value points. Experience is distributed equally among all the
surviving creatures, and is needed to level them up. Also, each
creature that survives gets a ``won fight,`` also a requirement to
level them up. Finally, your win count is raised if you get a
``VICTORIOUS`` and your loss fight is raised if you get ``DEFEATED.``
The determination of the results of the fights is based on the damage
done to each side in percentage of VE damage, and requirements that
seem to change from time to time. Under your balance counter, there is
a link name ``Ballancing fights`` which explains in further detail. It
is important to keep the ratio of wins and losses balanced (more info
below). You also gain or lose honor.
Heat acts as a combat reward multiplier (copied from
somewhere)
for
exp and skill gain. Max usable heat is 3000 which gives a 1-3 times
bonus. It is obtained through walking around (based on briskness
skill), sacrificing/recruiting creatures, buying equipment and attacked
or being attacked (based on damage done to enemy). It decreases at a
rate of 1 point per second. Heat can be stored in the small orbs above
the counter, by clicking the counter. When you click the counter you
will store 1006 heat, if you have it, and the rest will be lost. If you
have 2k heat then two orbs will be filled etc. You can retrieve the
heat by clicking the orbs one by one. More orbs can be bought in the MD
Shop.
Basically, honor awarded for winning tells how many more wins
the
defender has than you, only it is not total wins but the difference
between his wins and losses. So if you have 100 losses and 200 wins
(100 more wins than losses), and somebody gives you 100 honor, then he
has two hundred more wins than losses. When honor is negative, he has a
greater loss:win ratio than you do. Say the position was reversed, and
he had 200 wins and 100 losses, and you give him one hundred honor
because you have two hundred more wins than losses. He will give you
-50 honor.. notice that the negative value is halved from what it would
be if it was positive. You only get or lose honor that is shown in the
attack option if you win, although you will lose a very small amount of
honor if you have a greater win:lose ratio than another and you lose.
So if you wanted to make sure you don`t unbalance someone who has a
worse balance than you, attack someone for honor when you wish to win
and someone with negative honor when you wish to lose.
Honor at the moment is used to buy items in the MD shop, and
later
it will be ``used to activate certain areas, items, features, quests.``
If you get -500 honor, you will not get any combat reward until you are
balanced again. To make rebalancing easier, at such a point you will
not get negative honor for attacking others.
Value points are used to buy equipment in stores scattered
across
the lands, and it is also needed to enlist creatures or level them up.
Max vp is raised through story bonuses and creature sacrifices. You can
get temporary vp by winning against others (based on damage done),
randomly when roaming around (based on luck stat) and sacrificing
creatures again. Any temporary vp over the the amount of max vp
vanishes when the regeneration counter finishes.
You can make a ritual have priority (meaning it will be used
when
attacked) by checking the defensive option during creation. Among
multiple rituals which are defensive (or multiple rituals, none being
defensive) the most recently-made ritual (last one on the list) will be
selected. Rituals will be broken when defeated regardless of whether it
was used to attack or defend. If a ritual has less than 301 VE before
VE bond and combos, a random one will be used instead.
If you use one ritual successfully and win several times with
it,
the combo count for it raises. Each combo gives a little bit of extra
vitality for your creatures when you fight with the ritual.. Manu says
that if the combo count is high enough, you can use that ritual for
regeneration.
Integrity is how many creatures you have in a ritual, and
after
you
use it once it shows how many creatures survived the last fight it was
in.
28. Why is it good to have a balance of
wins
and losses?
You get a bonus. If you have less than a 1 fight difference
between
the two counts, then you can get up to 100% bonus in exp; the more
balanced, the greater the reward. There is also a bonus for skill
reward from battle, and it is half the % bonus in exp.
If you are inactive for 15 minutes, you automatically go into
idle
mode, which helps server traffic. You can still be attacked in idle
mode, and even If you close the browser in idle mode, you can still be
attacked by others and counted as online; the only way to make it
impossible for others to attack you is to go offline or in a
sanctuary.. In idle mode, notification sounds stop.
30. People always attack me and I lose
VE
before I can fight, and when I do, I always lose.
You can be safe from attacks offline or in a sanctuary. Try attacks
on those with low VE and others weaker than you,
before going into hiding again to regenerate. Eventually, when you
train your creatures enough, you will be able to rely on strategy more
and defeat players who are older and more experienced with specific
counter rituals.
Head contests come every so often. Generally players get a
head
on a
regular basis, and they attack each other for these heads. If the
player wins, he gains the heads another player has. The longer and in
greater quantity heads are kept increases points which are calculated
to announce the winners. There are winners of every mp level and they
get a prize. Head contest rules change from time to time, though.
32. What is the mechanical thing in
Beserker`s
Way and how do I fight Loreroot guards?
If you`re told to find a clue, go back to all the places
you`ve
learned about magicduel before (That isn't this page) which might hold
useful information, and
look for something new. Once you`ve found something new, see if you can
apply it to something you`re trying to do.
The most important thing to do is grab a pencil and paper (or
if
you`re savvy, open up a word document or other program) and start
recording patterns like you would for any puzzle. Although it may
appear to be random, it really isn`t. Once you find patterns, try to
manipulate them to fulfill your objective. If you have solved it but
don`t know what to do now, reread the message and try to look for
something new as you travel.
34. What is the weird floor in the
Broken
Pattern Gazeebo?
That was a puzzle some were able to solve during a contest
which
was
finished quite some while ago for prizes like a Drachorn or extra
vp/vit. The aim was to make all the pieces golden. However, part of the
purpose of the puzzle was to evaluate how hard it was and the different
ways people are likely to use to solve it; a similar puzzle will be
implemented in the game later, so it`s not a bad idea to try it out
yourself. Once again, use a pencil or paper (or word document) and
begin recording patterns.
35. What is the best way to defeat npcs
like
the Loreroot guards or advanced players?
Well, you might have to train up a couple of creatures on
weaker
players or people who just drained all of their vitality fighting
someone else. In the meanwhile, you can examine fight logs to see which
creatures do the most damage, the effects of creature skills such as
weaken damage and regenerate, ect. to figure out the most effective
rituals against other types of creatures. Try it out on the npc you
have trouble defeating (if you have trouble) and if it doesn`t work,
try different things and continue looking at fight logs. If nothing
works, train your creatures and try to get some more stats. Don`t give
up! And make sure you put that extra value points you gain from
defeating npcs to use.
The Knator Commander is a kind of ``hybrid character,``
somewhat
like an npc (non-player character, i.e. shades in tutorial) but also
like an actual player. You can only attack him when he`s online, and he
can also attack you without warning if you`re in his range. He has a
special skill called ``skilldamage`` which will give you permanent
skill loss if you lose, so beware. He is in the hidden exit of
Loreroot. Currently the Knator is hiding from the pesky new players
that keep coming up and chalenging him.
Characters in the adventure log are real players who are sent
on
a
quest; their actions and support from players (in the form of
suggestions in support forum topics) do affect gameplay. One example is
Wodin Ullr, who has a reward for players who are able to find the best
rituals for defeating his rituals which change day to day. There are
several other ``rpcs,`` or role-playing characters, related to the
adventure who give interesting quests and awards prizes to those who
can finish them.
Pronounced as separate letters, or as "fak," and short for
frequently
asked questions, a FAQ is an online document that poses a series of
common questions and answers on a specific topic.
39. What's the
first thing I should do once inside the game?
First thing in the game, click the scroll on the table!
40. Why is there
only a few icons I can
click on the left menu?
This is game has multiple stages, what you see
in the beginning wont be
the same allover the game. All the menu items on the left will activate
as you progress and multiplayer action will come after you finish first
stage of single player action.
41. I can't
pass the first shades, what do I do?
Get at least 3 creatures do pass all the shades
42. Can I be
attacked while offline?
You can't be attacked while not online, and all your stats
regenerate
in time.
43. How
does Heat increase?
Heat increases for a random factor of about 4 points for each
scene you
visit. and 350 for actions like recruit creature or upgrade. After a
fight heat increase its equal to the number of rounds in that battle.
44. What
does Heat do?
Heat is kinda like combo in other games. It grants you an xp
bonus from
fights. Max usable heat is 3000 which gives a 1-3 times bonus.
You
gain heat from actions like walking, sacrificing, buying and fighting.
Heat can be stored in the small orbs above the counter, by clicking the
counter. When you click it you wills store 1000 heat, if you have it,
and the rest will be lost. If you have 2k heat then two orbs will be
filled etc. You can retrieve the heat by clicking the orbs one by one.
There are 2 heat orbs that are avalible from the start and you can buy
4 more from the magicduel shop.
45. Why did
my Heat drop down?
1 heat point lasts for 1 second, so in a minute you will loose
60
heat.
46. Does Heat
affect combat and Vital Points?
No. Heat does not affect combat damage or life.
47. What
does Briskness do?
Briskness is a skill who's vaule adds to each heat increase every
time, so higher Briskness will get you heat faster.
48. What is
an Alliance?
Alliances are groups of players that have like intrestes. For
example
there are alliances that are commited to the shades and another
alliance that it fighting against the shades
49. What is
the max amount of people in an alliance?
There is a max of 10 people in most alliances but in some , for
example
the summoners alliance (the avatar drawers alliance), there is only 5
people.
50. What
about the nice alliance logo I saw in-game?
Each alliance will have a unique logo.
51. How can
i get into an alliance?
Anyone in an alliance can invite people into their alliance but
normally they have to talk with the leader before allowing people in.
So the best bet would be to ask the leader if you could join.
52. I just
joined an alliance and I had more honor points that the leader but now
I have less than him. Why?
If you join an alliance and you have more honor than the
current
leader
you will lose honor so you'll be under the current leaders honor
points. This is done so you can't overthrown an alliance but it is
possible to then gain more honor than the loyality and then become the
leader yourself.
53. What if all
members of an alliance decide to leave it or stop playing?
Alliances will remain active regardless of their members ,
consider
them as permanent houses, so now is the moment to write MagicDuel
history.
54. Can a
founder of an alliance leave the alliance if he isn't the leader? If he
is the leader? Can an alliance be disbanded?
A leader can leave just like any other member, the next player
ordered
by loyality points will take command. You can leave and join an other
one
but you loose 30% loyality for leaving, unless you are kicked out.You
can not disband alliances but you can takeover one... IF you get an
invitation to join the alliance and then you afford to loose enough
loyality to kick all out and bring in your people...Think also that
alliance members get loyalty points for every day in that alliance so
it gets harder and harder to takeover an alliance unless you are for a
long time in it and if you do then maybe you don't want to do that
anymore.
55. Can you
kick yourself? Can you leave an alliance if you are the last person?
What happens to the alliance then?
Yes you can exit the alliance, the alliance will remain without
members. There will be an alliance page at the capitol where you can
see alliances available to join and stats.
56. Will
Alliances have any alignment? Or some other type of Faction or
something?
Yes alliances will be bound to one of the lands and they will
get
land
specific bonuses. Land bonuses can affect things like regeneration
time, or max number of action points or other more critical stats
values. Most alliances in a land share same land influences.
57. Will
alliances be able to form formal diplomatic relations with other
alliances?
There will be WARS ..wars are short periods of time when the
regeneration counter goes at 1min/regeneration so that a huge number of
fights can happen very quick. When other lands will open, the alliances
will be divided on them and the taret will be to fight the other lands.
A counting system will be added to count score points between lands.
Alliance members wont be able to fight each other. No diplomatic
relation will exist between alliances bound to same land except during
war time when you will be able to attack only enemy alliances. Benefits
from attacking other alliances are not defined yet.
58. What
are all of the benefits planed for being in an alliance?
Alliance bonuses can cover all profile settings a player can
have,
except principle points, so you can have as a bonus a lot of things
from basic stats like you do now to more advanced stats later. I am
planning to change bonuses based on alliance name to make each alliance
have tis own benefits different from the others. Player without
alliances will not benefit from the extra bonuses but they will also be
immune during war time and will not take part to the total land fight
score. Alliance affiliation will be sort of a must to advance to next
levels of the game. There will be a limited number of alliances
in this game. now its the time to create them. Later on only under
special conditions you will be able to submit a new alliance request...
such as 500 honor or more. Alliance seats will increase. It is
possible to divide alliance types in two categories, clans and war
alliances, clans will have only a name and will be created by any
player with the required amount of honor points and war alliances will
be fixed. Clans can upgrade to war alliances under certain conditions.
This is just theory for now, it will depend on how things evolve in
alpha 4.
59. What
are Sanctuary areas?
Sanctuary areas are locations where players can't attack each
other. They are safe zones.
60. How do I use
magic?
At the moment spells are being implemented.
61. Why do
certain players have more Mind Points?
When you reset your account you will get the chance to receive
another Mind Point.
62. What
are Mind Points good for?
Each mind point will give you the chance to obtain another
Principle.
63. What are
Principles for?
They will be used to create magic. 64. If I reset
my account will I lose everything?
If you reset from your Story page you will keep all your
creatures, all your experience and all your items. If you reset from
your profile you will get a new start.
65. What is the
story for?
Different choices in the story will give different stat bonuses
and
quests which will affect gameplay. After players reach certain criteria
of experience and won fights, they can reset the story to play it a
different way and gain another mindpoint. There are several different
routes in the story, and players are encouraged to choose different
options each time to gain the most diverse gaming experience as
possible.
66. Where
do you find creatures, sanctuaries, shops and sacrifice alters?
All of these can be found scattered around the different lands.
Keep on
exploring and if you seem something curious (like a door or strange
figure) move your cursor over it. If part of the thing or all of it
glows golden, it means you can interact with the thing, whatever it is.
Click and find out.
67. How do
you attack another player?
Click on a playername in your mindpower in the player list and
then on
the button that says "Attack this player for ___ honor". You can only
attack people in your mindpower level. You can tell what mp level a
person is in by the yellow symbol by their name; a whole yellow cross
is mp3, a black dot in the middle of a cross is mp4, and a single black
dot under a yellow dot is mp5. Only the orange playernames are can be
fought; black means the player has moved to another area, and gray
means that the player is offline.
68. What do
you gain from fights?
Based on the damage done, you gain experience and skill
rewards,
as
well as value points. Experience is distributed equally among all the
surviving creatures, and is needed to level them up. Also, each
creature that survives gets a "won fight", also a requirement to level
them up. Finally, your win count is raised if you get a "VICTORIOUS"
and your loss fight is raised if you lose. It is important to keep the
ratio of wins and losses balanced (more info below). You also gain or
lose honor.
69. What is
honor?
Basically, honor awarded for winning tells how many more wins
the
defender has than you, only it is not total wins but the difference
between his wins and losses. So if you have 100 losses and 200 wins
(100 more wins than losses), and somebody gives you 100 honor, then he
has two hundred more wins than losses. When honor is negative, he has a
greater loss:win ratio than you do. Say the position was reversed, and
he had 200 wins and 100 losses, and you give him one hundred honor
because you have two hundred more wins than losses. He will give you
-50 honor.. notice that the negative value is halved from what it would
be if it was positive. You only get or lose honor that is shown in the
attack option if you win, although you will lose a very small amount of
honor if you have a greater win:lose ratio than another and you lose.
So if you wanted to make sure you don't unbalance someone who has a
worse balance than you, attack someone for honor when you wish to win
and someone with negative honor when you wish to lose.
70. What is
honor used for?
Honor at the moment is used to buy items in the MD shop, and
later it
will be "used to activate certain areas, items, features, quests". If
you get -500 honor, you will not get any combat reward until you are
balanced again. To make rebalancing easier, at such a point you will
not get negative honor for attacking others.
71. What
are value points?
Value points are used to buy equipment in stores scattered
across
the
lands, and it is also needed to enlist creatures or level them up. Max
vp is raised through story bonuses and creature sacrifices. You can get
temporary vp by winning against others (based on damage done), randomly
when roaming around (based on luck stat) and sacrificing creatures
again. Any temporary vp over the the amount of max vp vanishes when the
regeneration counter finishes.
72. What
are combos?
If you use one ritual successfully and win several times with
it,
the
combo count for it raises. Each combo gives a little bit of extra
vitality for your creatures when you fight with the ritual.. Manu says
that if the combo count is high enough, you can use that ritual for
regeneration.
73. What is
integrity?
Integrity is how many creatures you have in a ritual, and after
you use
it once it shows how many creatures survived the last fight it was in.
74. What
are skills used for?
Your skills are distributed among your creatures when fighting,
along
with your vitality depending on how strong the vitality bond is set in
a ritual; the greater the bond, the more % gets distributed. Different
skills influence your creatures in different ways; i.e. attack raises
damaged and defense lowers damage done to your creatures. Other skills
are used outside of battle, such as briskness and luck. There is a list
of skills and their effects you can access by going to your profile
page.
75. Is it
possible to have negative stats?
Sometimes a choice in the story will give you negative stats
bonuses,
and if you lose more than you have, your stats will become negative.
Don't be discouraged because you are bound to make choices that will
give you positive bonuses and you can always gain stats other ways,
such as sacrificing creatures. Players who stick to a single route
which always gives them positives bonuses in the story will miss out.
76. How
does armor affect me?
Armor raises different skills and stats, as can be seen when
you
click
details in the armor page. These skills can be distributed among your
monsters when you fight (see above).
77. Why is
it good to have a balance of wins and losses?
You get a bonus. If you have less than a 20 fight difference
between
the two counts, then you can get up to 200% bonus in exp; the more
balanced, the greater the reward. There is also a bonus for skill
reward from battle, and it is half the % bonus in exp.
78. What is
idle mode?
If you are inactive for 15 minutes, you automatically go into
idle
mode, which helps server traffic. You can still be attacked in idle
mode, and even If you close the browser in idle mode, you can still be
attacked by others and counted as online; the only way to make it
impossible for others to attack you is to go offline or in a
sanctuary.. In idle mode, notification sounds stop.
79. What is a head contest?
Head contests come every so often. Generally players get a head
on a
regular basis, and they attack each other for these heads. If the
player wins, he gains the heads another player has. The longer and in
greater quantity heads are kept increases points which are calculated
to announce the winners. There are winners of every mp level and they
get a prize. Head contest rules change each time, though.
80. How do
you store heat?
Max usable heat is 4000 which gives a 1-3 times bonus. Heat can
be
stored in the small orbs above the counter, by clicking the counter.
When you click the counter you will store 1000 heat, if you have it,
and the rest will be lost. If you have 2k heat then two orbs will be
filled etc. You can retrieve the heat by clicking the orbs one by one.
More orbs can be bought in the MD Shop.
81. What is
the strange mechanical thing in Beserker's Way and what do I have to do
to fight the Loreroot guards?
If you're told to find a clue, the obvious thing to do is to go
back to
all the places you've been where you've discovered many things or found
information and try to find something new there... If you do get to
solving the Berserker Way's Puzzle, the most important thing to do is
grab a pencil and paper (or if you're savvy, open up a word document or
other program) and start recording patterns. And if you have solved it
but don't know what to do now, reread the message and try to look for
something new as you travel.
82. What is
the weird floor in the Broken Pattern Gazeebo?
That was a puzzle some were able to solve during a contest
which
was
finished quite some while ago for prizes like a Drachorn or extra
vp/vit. The aim was to make all the pieces golden. However, part of the
purpose of the puzzle was to evaluate how hard it was and the different
ways people are likely to use to solve it; a similar puzzle will be
implemented in the game later, so it's not a bad idea to try it out
yourself. Once again, use a pencil or paper (or word document) and
begin recording patterns.
83. What is
the best way to defeat npcs like the Loreroot and Willow's Shop guards
or other players?
Well, you might have to train up a couple of creatures on
weaker
players or people who just drained all of their vitality fighting
someone else. In the meanwhile, you can examine fight logs to see which
creatures do the most damage, the effects of creature skills such as
weaken damage and regenerate, ect. to figure out the most effective
rituals against other types of creatures. Try it out on the npc you
have trouble defeating (if you have trouble) and if it doesn't work,
try different things and continue looking at fight logs. If nothing
works, train your creatures and try to get some more stats. Don't give
up! And make sure you put that extra value points you gain from
defeating npcs to use.
84. What is the
Knator Commander?
The Knator Commander is a kind of "hybrid character", somewhat
like an
npc (non-player character, i.e. shades in tutorial) but also like an
actual player. You can only attack him when he's online, and he can
also attack you without warning if you're in his range. He has a
special skill called "skilldamage" which will give you permanent skill
loss if you lose, so beware. He is in the hidden exit of Loreroot.
85. What is
the adventure log for?
Characters in the adventure log are real players who are sent
on
a
quest; their actions and support from players (in the form of
suggestions in support forum topics) do affect gameplay. One example is
Wodin Ullr, who has a reward for players who are able to find the best
rituals for defeating his rituals which change day to day.
86. Is
there a way to get through the story mode faster, I dont want to wait
24 hours for it to continue?
There are several choices you can make in that department. there
is
options to continue from now which takes 5 seconds to 24 hours which
gives almost double the gains
87. Is it
possible to get negative stats in the story mode and anywhere else?
Yes, there are ways and choices in the story mode to get
negative
stats
but dont be discouraged they usually lead to better stats in the end,
and fighting the Loreroot exit guardian and Wodin Ullr. also incurs a
penalty to your stats though they are small it is discouraged attacking
him for losses.
88. When at
max experience why cant i gain any creature wins or stats or anything
else?
The answer is simple, if you want you can gain the rest of your
100
wins, making sure to keep a balance would help out later in the game,
and then go to a higher mp level.
89. Why do
they have a max xp and win level for the mp levels?
It is not simple to make a character dominate any at your mp
level it
just takes time and effort and a good working knowledge of tactics,
thus making someone who can achieve this not want to go to a higher mp
level. By incorporating this it almost forces you to go to a higher mp
level or wait around and gather age, which everyone needs but not as
much as xp and wins. thus making it required to upgrade your creatures
and gain a better working knowledge of how different the styles and
rituals can be.
90. How do
i check another persons or even my profile page?
You can check your profile page out by looking at your stat
screen, it
is the one that looks like the upper part of a person, and clicking the
link public URL:
example URL: http://magicduel.com/players/Morgana_Le_Fey
this shows you your own profile and if you change the name
example public URL: http://magicduel.com/players/Morgana_Le_Fey
to say lets do Evoker MorganJade ok it will look like this

them.
Quests
The quests of Mur
I give special abilites and game roles to those worthy of it. In other
words I create RPC or PWD players....but pm-ing me about your role will
only put you far back on my list. I hate PM's of any kind, they take
much precious time away from me and keep me away from working on game
features and improvements, so if you want to pm me about something,
first think if you can ask that thing to someone else before you bug
me. There are guilds or players for almost any kind of thing you could
require.
Sometimes I play as a rpc...what rpc... you will never know, because I
use to change it or temporarly takeover other characters for my own
personal selfish FUN.
There is one thing I enjoy more than playing this game and that is to
continuosly DEVELOP it.
Types of questions (pm's) I ANSWER:
- story related
- organizatoric (game development, advertising, official)
- playername changes if well justified
- PM's from RPC's especialy the game manager.
- sample work from _extreamly_ talented artists.
I DO NOT REPLY TO:
- support questions
- bug reports
- gameplay questions (fight logs, odd situations etc)
- alliance requests
- personal roles you want to impress me with
for that you contact a LHO or moderator
You can email me for payment related issues, translation team, avatars,
drawings, role requests
oh and should I mention that strange things can happen in a palce where
I am at? thats because because I usualy stay in game to work on
things...so you stay around me at your own risk :P
----------------
funny thing I heard: "Whats a Mur?"
Personal Hate List
I hate spammers and stupid people.
I hate people that dont think about how the others feel
I hate doing countless changes for undecided clients
I hate my PM list, its allways full
I hate hating stuff so imagine how frustrated i am now LOL
Military Ways
and Beliefs IF YOU FIGHT
- use the nemy strength in your favor, high vitality means they are
vulnerable to steallife and large armeis mean they are weak to single
creature attacks....or sort of ... :P ...I will probably rewrite this
to make more sense
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE GAME IS MUCH MORE THAN FIGHTING
- get a role, its hard, but will place you among realy special people.
Even without an official MD role you can play your own role in this
game world, and by doing so you will not care about losing or winning
fights anymore. The fighting stops at MP5, so think there is a reason
why there are just 3 levels out of 7 that allow you to fight and the
others are about something else.
Losing all the time
- so what? you die? your creatures die? you lose stats? read the
fighting article
Next video is for testing of youtube stream Protector

I once was a MP6 but now I no longer play as a protector (MP6). I wont

Comments on Self Honesty
is a virtue that must be upheld in every situation
Treat others with the respect they deserve (some people deserve none,
so show them none)
If u have knowledge of a subject and someone asks a question on it,
share that knowledge. withholding that information due to laziness or
any other reason is a bad thing to do
There is always someone stronger than you, but more importantly, there
is always a way of beating that person
Have pride in thyself, and seek perfection in body and in mind. For the
law has said, "How can thou honor another unless thou give honor to
thyself first?"

Wodin
Skill damage is currently being applied
Always show respect in my area though, any lack of respect here means i
will punish you as i see fit.
I may not get a chance to see every fight, so after you make your
choices send me a PM with the creatures you chose and the abilities
they performed. And also, why you chose those particular creatures.
I do a small amount of permanent skill damage so do not use me to farm
losses against
Treat my area as you would treat areas with strong NPC's and do not
attack others here. If I get a number of reports concerning you
attacking others here I will be forced to take action against you.
If you are attacked by someone here give them a warning... if they do
it again report them to me, I'll stop them doing it again...
For the duration of the Heads Contest you can attack people that have
over 10 heads in my area
This Quest is Currently Over
I am now helping SmartAlekRJ in his quest... to get heads it is
simple... message me when I am online and not idle at the Road of
Battles. To get more you must first return the ones u have gotten of
lose them all. You can only return heads to SmartAlekRJ that you have
gotten off me, not ones that you have won off of others.
You must be mp4, mp5 or mp6 to take part. And dont ask me for more
clues as I am getting enough PM's as it is. Any use of teleportation
such as jump to leaders location or LHO's paper cabin spell is
prohibited, any use of this will mean expulsion from this quest

This player doesn't have this page. Military Ways and Beliefs All rituals must have at least 301 Vital Energy in them
otherwise a random ritual is selected.
Your stats are distributed evenly among the number of creatures in your
ritual. If you have 6 creatures in your ritual then all your stats are
divided by 6 and each creature is given the same amount of each stat.
Different ritual types:
Healing Ritual
For Mp3 players the most important ritual is probably the healing
ritual. This is a ritual where each side creates a ritual that only
includes creatures that do no damage to the opposing side, eg. Heretic
archers on weaken defence and Barren Souls on heal. This way both sides
get some of their creatures fully healed. Be careful not to put
attackers into these rituals though if you agree to do a healing
ritual.
Always do these rituals in a secluded place as you could very easily
get
attacked while you have it out and be sure to unbind this ritual
immediately after using it as you do not want all those creatures
destroyed straight away!
2 Creature Rituals
These are often good against large 6 creature rituals that target
multiple creatures when you reach mp6 and your stats are starting to
grow. When your stats start to grow they will affect the battles as
much as the creatures being leveled up. The multi targeting ability
targets a random figure between 2 and 4 creatures BUT if it tries to
target 3 creatures and there is only 2 available it will miss with that
attack! A good 2 creature ritual will often be an elemental and an
Elite Lorerootian Archer.
1 creature rituals
With high stats these can be deadly, For example with an attack stat of
400 and a Chaos Archer you will deal over 80 damage to each creature on
the opposing team, ignore all creatures that attack multiple creatures
and give u a defence boost equal to your stats.
Rituals that give u a better chance of achieving victories
Certain rituals will give you a better chance of achieving victories,
these are rituals that do damage to you as well as the opponent. The
creatures that will achieve this for you are the ones that cast
Martarism, like the Animated tree or the Water Guardian. This is only
useful once you have entered mp4 and mp5 when you need to achieve
victories, not just wins. If you have a low power stat I would suggest
using more than 1 of these creatures.
If you can think of more information on rituals that might be useful
feel free to PM me, it would be very much appreciated :) Protector Statement

More riddles below
I have a magic device that tells me exaclty the weight of anything i
put on it.
And i have 10 bags, in every one of them there are 10 marbles weighting
10 grams each , but one of those bags has fake marbles that weight 1%
more than the regular ones.
How do i figure out wich bag has the fake marbles using my device only
one time?
One chance only and you cant tell the diference in weight using your
hands..
Also, the bags are weightless and changing the weight of whatever u
placed in the device constitutes taking another reading
This is for fun, if you already know the answer please keep i to

Comments on Self Desire:
I would like a couple spells usable for creating small amounts of
chaos. Nothing to drastically change the game, just something to cause
confusion.
Fire can be used to help or hinder.
We all need warmth to survive (except the shades, maybe). Too much heat
will destroy anything (except the shades, maybe).
A coal removed from the seat of a fire grows cold and will go out. The
same coal returned to the fire will blaze brightly, again. So, too, are
people. Watch out for the ones who are alone, their light may be going
out. Bring them back to the hearth or join them and blaze brighter
together.
Rumors, true or not, can run across the land faster than a wind-blown
grass fire. Rumors can attract us, fascinate us, light a fire under us
and make us move. Be careful how and why you move, the rumor that
inspired you may be empty and leave you burned. On the other hand, you
may get lucky and find truth in the unlikeliest of places.
Do I bring comfort or chaos? Do I speak truth or do I fan flames of
controversy?
Come sit by my fire. Get comfortable. I offer my guidance and support.
Careful, though, don't get burned.
I would gather a horde
Misfit and haphazard
Ragged at the edges
Followers of the bard.
Seekers of the unknown
Challengers of the status quo.
Drawn like moths to flame
Waiting for the wind to blow.
Winds of change run rampant
Moving our minds and dividing the land.
Be patient in your choice
There is more than what is at hand.
Come to me, spread like embers on the breeze
Easily overlooked and hidden.
Ready to blaze to life
When at last bidden.
You may join me, even if you already have an alliance. I look for all
those who feel the inner burning for more. If you already joined an
alliance, you can quietly let me know of your desire. Let's light fire
to this world and burn away all pretense and subterfuge. Be my eyes and
ears in dark places.
If you wish to join me, become my adept. This way I will know those of
you who are faithful, loyal, interested in the fate of all lands or at
least a little mischievous.

Tips:
1. As an MP5, don't fight MP4, it won't work.
2. Get as many creatures slots as you can and collect new creatures,
even if you aren't going to use them right now. It is always easier to
get wins and xp, but you can't effect time. If the creature has been
sitting in your inventory for a while, it will already have the age
necessary to level up.
3. Stay balanced.
4. Stay balanced.
5. See 3-4.
6. Recruit adepts for .phrog. (Get me to protector status and beyond,
it will mean more spells I can use for you.)
7. Move around, these days people don't always hang out at Willow's
Shop.
8. Find a role/niche and play it well if you would like to be RPC.
9. Have a couple of each kind of creature.
10. Keep turning over your creature inventory by aging, levelling up
and sacrificing.
11. Get the heat storage orbs from the MD Shop, that way you can always
fight with MAX heat.
12. Chat, explore, look for ways to play around here that don't
necessarily involve fighting. Military Ways and Beliefs This player doesn't have this page. Protector Statement This player doesn't have this page.
Comments on Self My
name is Metal Bunny and I want to rule the world
I'll give you a small introduction to my background, on how I grew up..
and what I am planning to do now.
Dear reader if you wish to know more about my motives and the like, and
wish to see beyond my hide, then I urge you to read the about my
theories in my page of The Great and Transcending Doctrine of Metal
Bunny.
I am part of a very special sort of bunny breed. Our fur has metallic
properties, so we require no armor. Our skins our tougher than most
armor and will stop most strikes and jabs of blade and arrow.
I grew up as a young bunny, the youngest of a large litter... a very
large litter, zounds of litters really. Mom and Dad never seemed to
stop humping each other.. At least that's what my older siblings say.
You see I am the youngest of them all, and being the smallest of them
all, they picked on me and made fun of me. But I was always a jolly
fellow and always happy when my parents were around, especially because
my siblings dared not to fight each other nor me, when they were
around. But my parents, pretty much the king and queen, having humped
too much, passed away due to complicated genital issues.. thus
explaining the blessed absence of memories of parents humping.
So one could indeed call me a stereotypical little boy who was alone in
the world, after they went on.. You know, Hector Malot? Don't get me
wrong, suffering everyday, being their little slave, getting scrap
meals from my brothers and sisters who always picked on me was just
like a slice of heaven.. If heaven were to be a golden palace filled
with shards of glass where you're roasted on a fire that burns you from
the inside 24 hours a day. Now I didn't go all emotional back then,
unlike some certain youths these days who have zero legitimate reasons
to complain. If you didn't get this subtle hint, unlike some
Legend Teller I happen to know, this means I did not go 'Emo'.
This is not a story about me being a pathetic lonely whiny b*tch who
needs to have some realism and rationalism slapped into him.. Now, why
didn't I break down? Because of one thing, one goal, one dream that was
driving me onward.
Vengeance.
Simple as that.
I desired not to kill my siblings, I desired to rule over them and make
them suffer, like they made me suffer. Make them *my* slaves. So I
secretly started training my body and mind. But as I learned great
intelligence and amassed some power in my body I realized that, those 2
things were not enough. In the stories and theories that I read, it
always lacked something.. bunny. Until one day I came across a famous
man, who was not a scholar at all, nor even eloquent. And his words
were the opposite of erudite. He wasn't even a great warrior, as he
looked like the wind could snap him in too and depended on others to
protect him. And yet kings and mainly power hungry princes were
listening to his advice.. And so did I. As I read his words I learned 2
new arts, the arts of the owl and the arts of the snake.. I learned the
difference between wisdom and intelligence and I learned that strength
alone is never enough. I immediately started to learn these new skills,
meditating and contemplating, learning the arts of wisdom. But it did
not dawn on me yet, for I was too fixated on vengeance. I only became
wise enough to really understand my siblings, what kind of intricate
jealousies and issues they had.
In the meanwhile I tried to better the skills of the snake. At one
point I was constantly lying, deceiving and manipulating my dumb
siblings, slowly turning them against the smarter siblings who were now
behaving as our parents did, like kings and queens.. It worked, the
onslaught was magnificent, mainly because all I did, was sit on the
side and cheer them on, bwahaha. With my smarter siblings gone I took
control and ruled them. But I hungered for more.. much more.. I wanted
everyone to suffer! And so I looked onwards to our neighbours the
kittens.. and I desired them to suffer. But my meditations and
comtemplations were, unbeknownst to me in the start, becoming al too
conflictious with my lies and manipulations.. So I decided to raid
every library we and the kittens had to learn more about the man who
helped me gain my true power. Apparently his name was never written
down, although he did refer to himself of being made of metal. For that
was the strongest material known to all creaturekind in his primitive
days. And with metal he meant that his mind was greater than his body,
even if it was but a small portion of his mind. And so I gained the
name of Metal Bunny and not because I wear so much armor or because I
used to torture certain people with certain metal tools, that went into
*certain places*.. Those are all lies and propagande, don't listen to
that. *Ahem* after some raiding parties I finally found some books that
had indeed 'Metal' on the front cover. They were all the same however,
and they were all named: "Commentaries on the Metal Man".
What I read in the kitten books were nothing was nothing but criticism
against him. But the strange part was that I understood it and agreed
with it. It must've been the endless contemplation kicking in, but I
learned what was wrong with his theories. After months of arduous
further meditation and contemplation I finally saw the truth, no matter
how hard I tried to deny it in the end. I guess it was because of those
moments of peace and happiness that I experienced in the presence of my
parents. But I did give in, in the end. I felt.. pity for my siblings
and.. I felt some sort of.. regret of me manipulating them into killing
their other brothers and sisters.. It was a hard period for me. But the
kittens, having long lost their civilised ways, had begun a guerilla
war and slowly killed so many of my siblings for whom I now for the
first in my life had some.. non aggresive feelings for.
And then it hit me. Years of contemplation and meditation finally
aligned themselves with my years of lies and deceit. I finally knew it.
What I had to do.
I had a new goal and even if it was still world domination, it was now
because of different motivations.
Read my military ways and beliefs if you wish to know more, but if you
are more interested in what kind of individual I am, you should read
on..
My name is Metal Bunny, apparently, and I like the color green.
I
have the Dutch nationality, but am more fluent and eloquent in English;
I simply have this exquisite affinity for her broad vocabulary. If you
did not understand the previous sentence I suggest you get to know how
I am by reading my comments on the live chat, for I practically
hibernate on the scene of Willow’s Shop. Well not anymore really.. it's
because I am trying to avoid attacks, so I won't get any closer to that
dreaded max xp.
But I digress, I believe, so back towards a
nobler cause, me. Yes, I am that vain and occasionally arrogant as
well. Truly, vanity thy name is Metal Bunny, heh. I have been
designated a number by my parents when I came to this world, it was ID#
11799. Which is nice because 7 is my favorite number, altough sister #
7777 was a real hag and totally a spoiled princess. But conquering
lands have already given me enough satisfaction and incentive in the
form even newer conquest campaigns. It is refreshing to say the least
and I am certain I will persist in conquering like the Great Khan never
ceased to conquer and pillage and plunder.
But once more I
digress; yes, my thoughts can be that superfluous. Ah well, I am 18 and
am nearly going to one of my newly established colleges, which is an
event that gives me so much a nice galore of joy and anticipation that
I am nearly giggling like a Japanese anime character in a schoolgirl
uniform, although I have always wondered why those 'animes' were in the
kitten libraries. I like rock, though the extremes are not my
favorites. I am more for the classical and youthful epitomes, such as
Aerosmith and Fall Out Boy. I am of the male sex if you hadn’t come to
this conclusion yet. That means I am male, you organic wastes. I find
this short introductory note sufficient, for now. If you wish to know
more, ask and ye shall receive, if I find that a larger group has found
interest in my life, one can safely assume that I will put that bit of
my glorious and illustrious life on this page.
Eulogy For The BigC
(hey that rhymes :D)
Our BigC, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy XP come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily wins.
And lead us not into XP limit,
But deliver us from meager fights.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and
ever.
Amen.
This one is for you too, Wodin..
And now a lament for
gummy bears, a pure work of pure art by the most majestic Bunny. It was
inspired by heartless and cruel humans as they confessed their villainy
and crimes against our noble and sweet allies, the gummy bears. It was
made to support them, and to emphasize the inhumane nature of humans.
After long and hard work, I perfected this poem and I must say, those
were the most beautifull and well spent 300 seconds ever.
o_O
Mommy, the weird humans are scaring me...
Why do they crawl in my mind?
Why are they so scary?
They are ever so unkind...
Talking about a cute beary,
While screaming for mercy, it's eviscerated!
Their story in their vanity:
Forced to watch, the bears family is devastated!
They're molesting my sanity!
Why are those helpless gummy bears so hated?
Those people are a profanity!
Their sugary bodies eaten, thus desecrated!
It was like seeing a rolling wave of evil, like a tsunami.
Oh gods, a cruel death for them to be fated!
One worse than they propagate, I just want my mommy...
Sicko's... what did those bears ever do to you?
~Advertisement for the I-BID~
Is everything ok today?
Not sure? Then ask yourself these questions:
'Did my mirror break while screaming death and horror?'
'Did my kitchen appliances attack me screaming: 'viva la revolution!'?'
'Did my door hit me on the way out saying: 'nice ass babeh'?'
'Do I like RJ?'
If not, then you are just fine in the head my friend.
If so, then your mental stability and grip on reality are disturbed
enough, so that you can be enlisted in our programme! What is our
programme you ask? It's the Imperial Bunny Infantry Division! You get
the benefit to revel in your psychotic madness while you are
participating in our raids and pillages. You get to murder in a
horrendous fashion while screaming maniacally. You get to be
traumatized even more while witnessing petrifying battlefields full of
wonderfull rotting corpses while violently adding more blood and gore
to the idyllic scene.
Just
bid the world and your sanity goodbye, and you will be welcomed into a
cold and cruell world full of shiny and squishy violence. Just say:
'I-BID the world and my sanity goodbye!' You will be brainwashed and
enlisted.

A Call for Happiness on Paper
I have decided to create a contest, to relieve my mind of these
troubled days for a little while and to let my mind lavish on some
entertainment. I decided that this contest had to have something that I
felt was missing before. I therefore have made the first ever poem
contest. The goal is to solve the riddle, and then to write me a nice,
if not beautiful poem about it. It's a call from me, to write something
on paper, that will make me happy. That doesn't mean that sad and
dramatic poems are bad you know.. But I will leave that to you.
Here is the riddle:
In ancient times this dragon slept
Through ancient rhymes, the people wept
For still they mourn his death, yes even me
A hero was he in lands numbering three
As he was the wisest of them all
Yet stylish with phoenix tail so tall
As he was benevolent for all to see
And served the most virtuous of three
Through magic, nature followed his every whim
Through technology, servants gained much needed vim
The greatest dragon ever there to be
Even his master honored him times three
When the dragon woke and fought
For the first time he did wrought
Great victory in the middle
For the second time he did go
Towards the south, to and fro
7 Times for the lands’ unity
For the third time he went fast
Bound by sacred honor at last
For us to see the death of a hero
That was it lads and ladies. Now, your task is to guess the persona and
then make a very nice poem. Now remember, the person could be anyone,
including those human creatures, like the awesome Keira Knightley or
just normal creatures, like the awesome .Metal Bunny. or something..
The 7 best poems I will reward with a prize, the best one will get a
place in my documents. I will pick the winners myself, but I will ask
others for advice if I am in doubt.
Now, to reassure you and your motivation, you are allowed to pm me
twice with the name of the person you think it is.
Note that I will only respond with 'yes' if it is correct and 'no' if
it is wrong. If you guessed wrong twice, you are still allowed to send
a poem, but if the poem is about the wrong person, I will not count it.
And you only have one chance to send in your poem, so make sure it's
nice and done. That means that if you send your poem on the first try, you will
forfeit your 2 guesses!
After 1 month I will stop this contest and announce the 7 winners.
*Clue*
If you still do not know who the man is after long deliberation and
contemplation, then you can pm me twice with an answer to the next
question for a clue.
The question is:
Who is the human equivalent of the 'metal man' in my stories?
Note however, that I will take it in consideration that you took a clue
or not, when I overlook your poem.
Also, any attempt, good or lame or otherwise, at directly copying
existing poems or adjusting them, will result in immediate expulsion of
this quest.
*Now back to the advertisement for the I-BID*
Become my adept and join my army! I am one of the strongest players
around and mp6! Besides that I can heal you if you worship me. Help me
help you :D, because we are so awesome, we deserve it.
As always I strive to become better and more awesome, you might as well
join me.
If you want to, pm me and say you want to join I-BID :D, awesome people
have already gone before you, because they're awesome like that. You
don't want to miss out on awesomeness do you? I thought not...
If you join the I-BID, I will do my best to protect you and in return
you will call yourself my minion :D.
Remember I am mp5 so I'm not that great at protecting the lower level
players.
Also, the moment you become stronger than me, you're out of the I-BID,
I need minions, not unawesome people who make me feel unawesome.
Right now I have a greater need of worshippers than adepts, so adepts
of other venerable ones are encouraged to join me as a worshipper :D
The list of people in I-BID is held secure for awesome reasons.
Also, by joining the I-BID, you agree to some mandatory brainwashing so
that we can ensure you have an awesome opinion of awesome bunnies,
especially it's awesome leader.
*Official announcement*
Due to some actions of low intelligence, the HQ has decided to cut back
on some of the brainwashing, all it will do now, is that you will
simply like us. Thank you.

All Hail The Bunny Empire! Military Ways and Beliefs To truly understand what is written here, it would be
best if you
read my Great and Transcending Introduction of Metal Bunny first and
then continued here.
Warning, this page has earned allegations concerning it,
being extremely boring and very unlike the jolly and awesome Bunny. I
agree, as it's not supposed to be entertaining, it is for teaching and
informing purposes, the awesomeness however, is still applicable.
I wished to rule the world, for I wished to make everyone suffer
But no more.. I still have the same goal, to rule the world that is,
but my motivation and thus my dream has changed.
What exactly was it that hit me that day? It was the notion that evil
and good control you, if you do not control them.
Good and evil are subjective, as it always depends on the perspective
on what is right and wrong and thus good and evil. What a person does
is always good and right in his mind, for else he would not do it.
Unless hypnotized by some form of spell or seduced by certain
attractive individuals of his or her species.. The repurcussions of
this nature of good, and thus evil, makes it so that the world is a
cruel and unfair place.
It is because interests and desires, when among multiple people with
individual minds and thus individual ideas of what is good, will also
collide with each other. This is the basis of what I percieve as evil
really. It exists because there are multiple ideas of good, and when
good and good collide, one will always suffer. And when good loses, it
is per definition seen as unfair and/or cruel. Why do they collide?
Because no man is equal and thus one will always be the better man. And
every man does what he desires, for that is good in his mind. Thus the
conditions are created which are perfect for calling this world nothing
more than organized anarchy at best.
So basically what I just said now, is that I see the world filled with
individuals who all think what they are doing is good. No man is equal
thus, some good will lose and that is the source of evil in my opinion,
for when good loses, it is experienced as unfair or generally a bad
thing. It's like that big fat bully in the cafeteria who takes your
lunch money, because it feels.. so.. good.. Or this nerd who is maimed
by a measly and insignificant arachnid and then by some freak of nature
takes his unjust revenge on the bully..
Indeed, evil is the loss of good.
But why is what one desires considered as good? Because that what one
desires makes one happy and being happy is a good thing, see the circle
definition here? Making people my slaves and making them suffer made me
happy, even though I was generally considered as evil. But what I later
on realised, what hit me was when wisdom hit me pretty hard.
It was balance.
I realised then that when my good won, a lot more evil was created.
Basically what was written above. Now what I learned from my
meditations was that everything was forced to adhere to the laws of
balance, simply because of it's logical structure. More on this later
on, I like to keep this short and simple, unlike a person named Kant.
What I thought of was that I had learned misery and suffering first,
before I learned happiness as a little bunny. I was mistreated by my
sibling's, but that suffering made me enjoy my time with my parents
even more. Nigh making me happy. I had to learn the meaning of one
extreme to learn the other extreme. Food never tastes the same after
you have suffered true hunger. Peace is not the same thing, if you
never experienced war. Those who have, have become so much more
grateful, so much more.. happy. And so, to gain true happiness, one
must first learn what the opposite is.
Once I learned what true happiness was, I truly enjoyed every moment in
my life, even the bad ones. It's as if one has transcended the bad
portions of life.. as if I didn't have to suffer anymore..
However, the lifespan of us intelligent creatures always seems so long.
And boredom could strike. To continuously keep ourselves entertained or
happy, one needs a goal, a desire, which will make us happy, just by
trying to reach it. I chose my goal with a specific purpose. The goal
to rule the world, mainly because I could then, not just enjoy true
happiness for a mere moment, I could enjoy it for long extended periods
of time.
-To read more on the subject of ruling for happiness, read more at the
very end of this page, or go to my Protector Statement page-
But how to obtain that happiness exactly? To make one suffer my fate
would be cruel and pointless, there is no need for voluntary self
mutilation or torture, nay. But one does require evil, to learn good,
and thus true happiness. What I suggest is that one learns to control
evil. Enslave it!
Force it to our own purpose, to use it for good. This however, due to
the laws of balance is a very delicate and complicated matter.
I'll give you some examples. To know the true blessed meaning of peace,
one needs to know the atrocities of war. To know the true blessing of
food, one needs to know the power of hunger. What I suggest is not to
force people into committing and observing atrocities or to deprive
them of food. No, what I suggest is that those who do wish to obtain
happiness, is to let them fight a mini war or fictional ones, like via
accurate and graphical reenactments and let them learn about other wars
and it's crimes. The same with hunger, to let them, if they wish it so,
experience hunger, under the guidance of health professionals. To let
them learn, in a controlled environment, so that they may come closer
to true happiness.
That has become my true goal.
To rule the world so that under my guidance, such activities can be
maintained in professional institutes.
That under my guidance, true happiness may be obtained by those who
wish it so.
If you are interested, pm me or read more in my protector statement. Protector Statement The Comments of Bunny, on how to rule and how to
maintain his doctrine
Basically, to rule in a virtuous way is, unless one is real quesy and
pansy excuse of a leader, exceedingly much more difficult for a ruler,
than to rule on impulses and the suffering of the people. I myself,
having suffered as a 'commoner' and my talents being shunned and not
appreciated, have learned that a virtuous and meritocratic rule is far
more benificiary for not just the people, but the ruler too. And since
in all nature's creature's there is an innate desire to only help
thyself, and only thyself, I had chosen not just this path, that of
being a ruler, but also this pace, that of being virtuous and
meritocratic.
So basically, in my case, happiness of others creates happiness for me,
which in turn, creates happiness for them. A perpetuum mobile does not
exist, so yes, the cost of this is higher. One shoulders more
responsibility, more tasks and thus has to do his best to create more
happiness to compensate for it.

Walker of Mind
Descripition:
Reseacher of all religions in MD. Now can bend magic into new forms and
likes hunting for long lost weapons.
Special powers:
Can use summon army and summon creature spells (unlikely)
or
Can use basic spells and teleportation to sites of religious value
(more likely :P)
(By sol, if anyone wants one he is happy to make them for you)
*sols work is on forum :)*
I am Rex Umbrae Killer (RX) i have traveled through many of the MD
lands watching and learning. I know intend to learn all the beliefs of
all the creatures in the Madgicduel land. My travels will take me deep
into Necrovion and right into the MDA lands. I stand here at the foot
of the steep walls of the House of the Tainted Times. I im searching
for the information on how to find the hidden temple in inner Necrovion
to study and try and understand the belifs the shades have about Black
Magic of Chaos. If i can get to the power source and belief system i
can help to take down the shades or strengthen then in the art of there
formidible power. Maybe here i shall be the right kind of lader for me
to but my boot on and take my first step into the soul of MD.
I walk through the deserted paths of Necrovion searching for my
answers. Every turn takes me to a new place, but everywhere i go seems
the same. Darkness surounds my feelings stoping me thinking straight, I
see my goal difting on a black cloud far off in the distance only a
thin line of string keeping us together. A black shape comes into my
vision as i arrive at the Eternal Toiler, a hand darts towards me, i
let it slip into my jacket and under my shirt. The hand rips my
necklass off with one hand, and lets it dangle infront of its eyes. The
strange mealic symbol that i had found weeks ago glinted in the fire of
its eyes. I cant stop watching the symbol, It welcomes me into its cold
home and i slip into blackness.
dont let the darkness take you
Update:
I have recently found out that Necorvion used to be Sages Feilds, maybe
i need to look more into sages keep and deathmarrow. I shall carry on
researching and record my finds.
Sources:
Khalazdad's diary
Lands and Weapons by Aleron
(A strangle symbol i found on my way into Necrovion made out of a weird
metal that doest seem to rust or scratch. Is it guild or is this a
symbol more conected with the shades?)
I sit here wondering about what i shall find on my journey. I shall
search all the lands even though i have walked some of them to many
times that i have burned the print of my big black heavy boots onto the
map of Magicduel. But this time i shall dig deep and once i have learnt
of the beliefs and power of the shades i shall go deep into lore to
watch and learn about the ancient Nymphs.
My quest will be long and i will need to get ride of all my past belief
systems to relearn the greatest belief and power system of all time!
I plan to research lots on my travels and then i will be able to help
chosen players or guilds or just myself :)
I also hope to find new items and creatrues on my travels but for the
creatures i may need a few players to train them :0
Natures sword:
In loreroot i have heard of a powerful sword connected with the trees
and magical creatures which live there, I has only 1 mension in all the
books i have studied and i have only found one picture of what it looks
like but i can tell that power surounds this weapon. On my journey into
loreroot in reasearch of there source of natural power and belief
systems i hoep that i shall find more information on this beautiful
weapon. I do not know where it lies or even, at the moment if it truely
exists but there is always hope :)
Sword of the darkened soul:
A sword that has only the power to destruct the mind of the owner it is
willing for an unfortunate traveler to come by and take the handle of
death. I consumes the soul leaveing only a limp body left to seep into
the puddle of blood. It can only be weilded by those who have no
beliefs at all or only live in the presense of the darkness principle.
It can only be destroyed by evil or the oposing sword of light. ( It is
rumoured that the sword has resently been picked up by a Necrovion
worshiper DraconicNinja who does not know of its power)
Dagger of Bite:
A small hand held dagger thin enough to slit through the ribs. It is
sharpened by magic and even the slightest touch makes your blood drip
down. Favored by weak magicains of Marind. The last of its kind was
lost in the battle that forged No Mans land and is now buried deep
under the ground and several bodies some where in the waste lands.
Maybe the swords are related to each land weapon!?!?!?!
I HUNT MOUSES :P look at pic below

:)) Military Ways and Beliefs
1. I think that everyone
when attacking should use at least a 2:1 ratio of attackers to healers
or life stealers.
2. I think that attacking with one creature is ok but when you are
defending i think that everyone should use the full 6 unless the
defender has had the problem of being attacked to much. Using all 6
creatures makes it a better fight and it means that there is a high xp
gain at stake.
3. I think that muddling creatures and making new rituals is a good
idea as there may be a certain thing that will be very affective.
4. Everyone should have fun when attacking because you may have the joy
of upgrading creatures with the gained xp.
5. Find a person who you can attack who is roughly balanced with your
creatrues and xp. Maybe some one with a bit less xp or with slightly
worse creatures. This way it is going to mean you and your opponent
gets xp and more heat is gained.

Comments on Self The
road that lead to the knowledge is very long and hard. I’ve started
like the all other player, with nothing, but a very strong will to know
all this game secret to become one day a strong player. The first steps
in this world were very useful because losing and losing again make me
try different ritual and strategies until I was able to be ready to
advance in level. I followed all my creature growing slowly, trying to
discover every benefits that every one of them could give me in the
fights. And so I was growing too, the days passed, and every moment
spent make me conscious of what really is this world.
Like a puzzle I started to link all the pieces, but this wasn’t enough,
I needed to see closer how is the creatures existence to make them
fight together with no problem and with the best results. And finally
one day the occasion I was expecting: Loreroot. Living in Loreroot was
a really good training, for mind and body. Living among the creatures,
living with them made me slowly understand how them live and how them
think. I started living like them, in that wild forest, and with that
type of training my body started to feel what really is the battle, my
brain start to think like a beast, fight only to survive. Now I was
ready to go out, the forest thought me a lot, the next step was only to
use all I’ve tested in the forest. And the first results started to
come; I was an other person, everything was changed on me, and I like
what I become: a great and savage fighter.
Now that I’ve reached all I wanted the only thing that I can do is to
discover new rituals, new creatures, and so I walk alone on Loreroot,
hoping to find new things to experiment, new thing to bring in this
world, new things that will help me to defend Loreroot from all the
dangers coming from the outside.

grew up as an ordinary kid, always being made fun of because of my
birthmark on my left arm that resembles the outline of a Drachorn.
After I turned 19 years old I began to have troublesome nightmares of
Drachorns mauling me, or so I thought at first.After 2 years of having
the same dream over and over again I knew I needed to seek out the
DreamCatcher .Morpheus.. I searched for 6 months listening to the
rumors of his mystical whereabouts and how to contact him with no
avail. Just when I had about given up He contacted me through my dream.
He helped me understand that my dreadful dreams were, in fact, visions
of my future, and also that the Drachorns were not trying to maul me.
But instead bow to me and lick my birthmark as their master. All of a
sudden everything became vividly clear to me. So i set out on my
adventure....................

Golemus I soon learned from reading that "bronze" without brains was
ineffective. Now don't get me wrong. the strongest creatures are
great, but at the same time it only works on other strong people. The
one's that lack brains. And in turn a bunch of smart creatures are
ineffective against strong creatures. The best way I found is to be
both strong and smart. Do this and the force will be with you. Along
with many personal bonuses, you will also gain wisdom from your battles
if you PAY ATTENTION!!!

Crazy experiments and tests on drachorns is what i do. Crazy can't
describe how the experiments turns out. Cruel to drachorns, i swore
vengance to the golemus kind and seek to create new species of mutant
drachorns.
I am the one of might and power.
I am the Crazy one.
Now you all seek to kill me,
you just won't leave me be.
A warrior of hatred and dark also i am,
Times I'd like to simply kill them,
but then I think,
no fun would it be.
Someday when you are old,
and you tired of me are,
by me, because of ME, because of THEM, because of MY CREATURES, you
shall die,
and on the ground you will lie.

And for those who wonder how my drachorn is called, he is called
Trogdor (Yes, thats him!)
Quests
The Experimentalist Quest
I Love experimenting with Drachorns and
doing all kinds of things to them. I love it so much i might do some
for you. But not
everything is easy. You will have to do some things for me first. The
quest consists of 6 phases. But beware, most people say
im crazy so you will have to think as i do.
****WARNING****
What im about to create for you is one of the most monstrous and
powerful creatures out there. Once the quest is done, you must
understand "the old must die so the new can be born". In other words,
you golemus drachorn, doesn\'t matter level, will disappear and a new
mutant drachorn Lv1 Will replace it.
Phase 1. Getting The Drachorn:
*-*-*You must have a drachorn from the golemus lands. If you don\'t
have one, find a quest that rewards one and come back*-*-*
Phase 2. Getting the materials:
I need you to find some things for the test. PM the location of where
each of this objetcs can be found and ill go pick them
up. Use common sense, there are many of this objects in many locations
but i can\'t pick them up in all. For example: If you
find the location of the reeds but they are in the middle of a lake, i
wont be able to pick it up. There are some things i
dont really need, but i dont care, get them for me. They are:
A Sword i lost long ago
Murky Water from a very small pond
Flowers
Reeds
2 books i left on a table
A square-shaped mirror
A Candle
A Flag
A Large Fragment from a broken door
*-*PM the locations*-*
*-*You have 3 guesses for Phase 2*-*
Phase 3. Finding the location:
End this once and for all
Today will be the day
End this for you
Rest in peace, shall you?
confusing it is
Now where were we?
And seek the location
Lost forever in time
Today you must find it
On a place of dark
In the depths of hell
there, not far away
Lost in the dark
Ending their lives
Rusty, never used.
now that much sense did not make
but read between lines
and maybe youll find me
analyse everything
because crazy i am.
*-*PM the location and how you found it*-*
*-*You have 3 guesses for Phase 3*-*
Phase 4. Finding the Pentagram
To make the test, we need to find the sacrificing pentagram.
Now my words hear carefuly, to find the pentagram look for a circle
with arcane symbols in it.
Take me seriously will ya? For this has been in front of you all the
time.
*-*PM me where the pentagram is*-*
*-*You have 4 guesses for Phase 4*-*
Phase 5. Knowledge
Now we are almost there but i can\'t proceed without knowing things and
specifications about my experiment. You can ask
around, don\'t ask for direct anwsers, i hate that, you can only ask
for help and orientaion in this phase.
Help me anwser this questions:
1-What\'s the ID of the creature im about to make?
a)1
b)17
c)29
2-What other name can be given to the mutated version of the Drachorn?
a)Drachorn of Darkness
b)Wind Dragon
c)Dragon of Darkness
3-What kind of spell should i use for the transformation? (NOTE: You
will have to get the L2, L3 and L4 of this spell so make
sure you know the right anwser)
a)Black Water
b)Lightings
c)Invisibilty
4-Name 3 principles you think i will use and explain why
5-What kind of "instrument" should i use to make the test?
a)Sword of Darkness
b)Sacrifical Mace
c)Holy Sacrifical Dagger
*-*PM the anwsers*-*
*-*You have 3 guesses for Phase 5*-*
Phase 6. Making the experiment
5 people need to be present so gather 4 other people who are willing to
come with you
and come to the location on phase 3. Among all 5 the certain points in
the mentioned principles in phase 5 must be obtained. After that, wait
for me.
NOTE: If any of those provke me, like attacking me while or before the
ritual, i might get angry and leave. THIS has Happened
NOTE 2: If you want my Black Water spell page, you can try my challenge

Hear the bass, Sorrow
Hear the drums, Pain
Hear the guitar, Death
Howling winds keep screaming round
The notes of death that come down
Death comes now
As the folk runs into town
Hear my call
Hear my instruments
Hear me...

For my unconquerable soul.

Under the bludgeoning of chance

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the Shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate
How charged with punishment the scroll

I am Khalazdad Greymantle, returned from a strange dream of light and
darkness. Those ones who I became I retain inside of me - the Dark one
and the Bright, the Killer and the Pacifist.
This one before you is not he who came before,
not a mere restoration of who I was prior to tearing myself in two.
Each of those two grew and their own ways, and their intermingling now
has made something new, something unique.
I do not yet understand the meaning of it all,
but I will discover it in the fullness of time.
Will you be with me on my journey? Will I
accompany you on yours? Perhaps that strange land we call the future we
shall discover together.

Quests
I had a dream.
An ordinary person says they have a dream, and
you think little of it. But my dreams are always true events. Whether
my mind's eye sees and reports or some force in me shapes events is yet
to be said.
In my dream I saw three people, each in a
different land. Each made a discovery.
The first was digging for clay on the
riverbanks. Deep in the clay, an object. The person washed it in the
river, the clay now forgotten, and found it to be.... I could not see
what it might be.
The second searched for water in Necrovion.
Pulling on a rope brought nothing up, so the person descended the rope.
At the bottom there was no water, but something else.
The third... the third was the strangest. In a
place of many books, the person searched for knowledge not known to
others and thus found a book untouched for an age. It fell mostly to
dust when touched. But, the book was a falsehood, a shell to hide...
I cannot see what these objects are, but I know
THAT they are. I see three circles. One rises and soars through the
heavens. One stabs at the heart of the matter. The third grins a
sharp-toothed smile. Three circles, each a part of one circle, a thing
of import. A heavy thing.
Each is important. Find them for me. Bring me
all three objects and I will assemble them.
THE RULES
This quest is a social experiment. Three players
have lines of code that show a picture of an arcane object when
inserted in a page. They will give them away according to their own
rules. You may use any means to try to acquire the objects short of
just finding and stealing the code.
1. Whoever has the code must display it on one
of their pages.
2. Only one copy of the code may exist at once. When you give the code
away, delete it from your page.
3. The code may be given to whomever you see fit and for any reason.
4. One player must bring all three codes, displayed in pages, to me.
5. Each time a code is given away, its giver must PM me so that I can
track the progress of the codes from person to person.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you know me then you know that I collect
parables and stories. I use them to educate people in a
non-confrontational way.
You can help me in this collection by finding or
authoring some short, pointed tales according to these specifications:
No overtly religious tales.
Should not take up more room than the chat area of the screen can hold
without scrolling.
Must not contain sentences too long for the chat feature to transmit.
Must, of course, be family friendly.
The 'moral' of the story ought to be at least a little ambiguous.
The rewards for providing such stories? I will
thank you for them. Whatever other reward there is must come from
teaching others and learning yourself.
I have selected three of my stories to use as
examples, below.
_________________________________________________________________
Two monks are carrying sacks of grain from the
village where the townspeople donate them up the hill to the monastary.
One of the monks is small, ill fed, and struggles under the weight of
his burden. The second is a tower of strength, and scarcely seems to
notice his sack of grain. His name is Ox in our tongue, because he is
reputed to have once lifted one out of a pit trap.
The first monk asks Ox, "Please, can you carry my burden? It is so
heavy, and you are so much stronger than I."
Now Ox, as we have seen, is not so called for his mind. He replies
genially, "But if I carry your burden, this condition will never
change."
There was a warrior-monk, a blind troubador. He was very hard to defeat.
Some theives planned to set upon him on the road to the monastary. They
argued about how to best his defenses.
"Sneak up on him from behind," one remarked.
"He'll hear you: his ears are very good."
"Lay in the road and await," said another.
"He will smell you; his nose is supernatural."
"Swing down upon him from a branch!" cried a third.
"He will feel the air of your passage - his skin is very sensitive."
As they argued, the bravest of them slipped away. before much longer,
he returned with their quarry tossed over one shoulder, a very big
bruise on the Monk's head.
A man feared what he saw when he looked into a cave. It was dark, and
made noise, and he saw something moving inside.
He went home and nursed his fear. His fear turned to hate - he hated
what could make him feal so afraid.
He returned to the cave full of hate, and found that what was inside
seemed to hate him back. When he drew his sword, he heard the darkness
hiss at him, and saw a movement in the dark.
But he decided to master his fear. He entered the cave with his sword
drawn, charged for the back.
The clamor of his armor echoed off the walls and became the sound of an
army in his ears. When he reached the back of the cave what he found
defeated him utterly.
It was a mirror.

Hate is an extremity, but sometimes an extreme
position is necessary. For the time being my hate list is empty, as I

offend.
Most of all I
hate myself.

Day 1
Lesson 1 - How to set a Healing Ritual
if you set up a ritual as your defense along with another attacking
player
you can use archers level 2 (be sure to take them off of attack mode)
and a barren soul
don\'t ever use a barren soul by themselves because for the ritual to
work you need a creature with 301 or greater life
a maxed out Barren Soul is 300, so defending or attacking with him
alone will cause the game to automatically set your creatures at a
random mode of attack
and you will just end up hurting the player attacking you instead of
healing them
Both players get healed creatures.
Each player gets healing from their own healers
the player doing the most healing is given a win
--------------------------
Lesson 1 - intro
ok so when fighting and getting attacked, there are a few things I
learned while getting smashed
oh first thing real quick - this information is to be used for yourself
and please keep it secret otherwise all other players will know how to
fight you back and once everyone knows
it\'s no longer a secret or worth using.
ok so have you ever wondered how players attack you and kill you with a
simple attack, or you beat them and they were way stronger than you
I may have given one of you a hint on this before, but the slider bar
is in the game for a reason
normally when you defend yourself you put the bar at full 100% right?
or at 0 to keep you VE?
Lesson 2 - the slider: how does it works and why change it?
the sliders role in the game is to enlighten (something I know well as
an SOE)
have you ever read the ads from Mur about learning how to beat a mp6
when you are a little player
I have answers
ok back to lesson 2
how it works - the slider is a balance
just like you have heard so many times in the game
think of weight on a balance
if you tip the slider too far to the right
you use less of your own VE and more of your creatures VE
but you all know that
so let\'s learn the new things
when someone attacks you it takes 3 things into account
1. your heat first
2. your creatures
3. slider position
WHAT? you ask
oh yes and there\'s more to it
if you attack you alwasy want to keep that slider at 100 right?
WRONG
know we\'re learning
I rarely ever win a fight with a equal player withthat bar at 100
I can with a less strong player because I just use all my VE and beat
them
not much to that
there is no balance in that win
and I rarely get the VICTORIOUS for it
- MP3\'s -- note-- at MP4 and above, simply winning is not enought to
increment the win counter. You also have to satisfy other criteria
- You have to gain or lose at least 15% VE
- And you must do at least 35% more damage to opponent than you take
:) ty
now you may be wondering why the slider is set that way or why Mur
would have a bar
well I\'m going to tell you. and luckily for you all here right now
and no one else around
I set my bar in many positions for the many players I may come across,
that may not apply to mp3 players but this will apply to all those who
want to GAIN CREATURE EXPERIENCE
I want you ALL to try this the next time you battle and definitely when
you def
ok slider bar DEFENSE
this is my favorite and for anyone new here
it let me win 18000 to negative 4000
I was being attacked and hadd the negative 4000
SETTING DEFENSE
you would think to set it at 100 to protect against tough players
but I set mine NOW THIS IS A SECRET
between 30 and 80
ok here\'s why that works and doesn\'t work
depending on certain fighting and defending methods
if you are attacked by a stronger player he will usually have the
slider set at 100 and cause all his VE to be used to defeat you
well lets say I have the slider set at 40 to defend.
there\'s a 60% differnce
well that difference is an unbalance
and since this game is all about balance that would cause somthing to
happen
ok WHAT HAPPENS?
easily their VE is taken away at a rate in which you creatures are
being affected
this depends on what creatures they are using and what creatures you
are using to def but you get the general idea
now I\'m not giving the exact changes, that\'s for you to work out and
learn from
Lesson 3 - ATTACKING SLIDER BAR
I use this section wisely and carefully
again I say that my real interest in this game is what has allowed me
to discover this for the teaching
I don\'t take little pieces of information from everyone. that\'s not
playing the game
I go and I learned and I get attacked and I play for more hours. It\'s
the true love of the game and finding out what else it has to offer me
Lesson 3 - NEVER ATTACK WITH 100 on the slider bar
I used to at mp3 and it proved to be great
but as you grow you will learn more about fighting and how it will not
only help you as a player but cause your creatures to grow with more
experience
if you see someone who is on idle mode and farming for loses attacking
them when they
have 50 VE left is only going to give you a fake win
who cares about that
it doesn\'t help you much and your creatures may gain 12 experience
from it
it\'s going to take 5000000 wins to level those creatures
so slider bar attacks at 100 with full creatures attaking hurt farmers
only gets you a WASTE OF TIME
well, that\'s for you to learn on an individual basis
but I guarantee you, that you can get a win from it
NOW what if you are attacker a tough player
why not lower the bar a little
sometimes you may lose by only 1% - as I do this often
but EVEN when I lose a fight
I gainmuch experience for my creatures
how much to lower it is on an indiviual basis also
here is my favorite settings for how I fight and why I use them
I fill my
creatures to full life and attack with my setting at about 84
now why I use that. it lowers my VE from being taken if I lose and
keeps others from immediately attacking
- Q: Envy may I ask a question?
- To correlate with my own capabilities ... what is your MAX VE -- with
mine I have to keep the slider fairly low.
A: 12000
- Thx.. I learn
when I attack using a lower slider I see that I not only gain
experience but I also get to win closer fights
why is this good?
because I have also noticed that my creatures get hurt less than if I
won with 100 on the slider bar
this is because the creatures are using less energy to fight
they are attacking and if they are defending with more VE, they use
more energy. think of an refridgerator
it uses heat to stay cool
but if it gets clogged it uses even more energy to stay cool
you use more energy and it costs you more on your energy bill
causing your creatures to use more energy and they will costs you more
VE
is that clear
- ::nods::
ok good
- Nice analogy
Let\'s say you set the bar for 40 and attack someone equal to your
strength
YOU LOSE
not much more to say. lol
WE WILL MEET HERE EVERYDAY AND LEARN MORE. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS REALM
Envy of Enduranc.: back to lesson 3
if you set you slider to 50 and you attack an equal player
you would think you have a 50 chance of winning
but you actually don\'t get a 50 chance of winning
I will explain.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON\'T get a 50 chance of winning?
actually the reason is you technically get a 50 chance but because of
your creatures you don\'t
they are ready to lose, it\'s part of the game, but you want to alwasy
seem to win
let\'s be honest. it is difficult when you start out as a mp3 actually
taking loses
even to have more loses than wins
we are all programmed to win
it\'s part of being human
your creatures are the same way
they are programmed to win (truly I mean with real programming
languages)
but they don\'t win because the defenders creatures are programmed to
win too
this is why the slider bar is so important in winning and getting a
VICTORIOUS
you mp3 players will learn this even more as you grow in the game to
mp4 or higher levels. winning becomes more difficult
finding that spot on the bar is the secret to winning and most
important gaining lots of creature expereince
I\'m a mp4 adn I have 7 max creatures and I sacrificed 2 others.
I spend my time fighting and even defending the CORRECT way
the way that benefits me
any questions so far?
everyone understand?
speak up now if you ahve a ?
ok on to lesson 4
Lesson 4 - How to Defend or Attack and give the other player much
expereince
well , why would I want to do this?
If you read my papers - I\'m the Great Winged Healer
there is a way for me to win and allow the other player to win, even
though they may get a loss, their creatures will gain and grow
so we both win
this is HARD
and can be completed at any mp level
but it takes time and focus
you want to attack someone and lower your bar to just right so you win
by 1% to 5%
or you win with negative lost and they lose with 0 lost
like I WIN with -400 and they LOST with 0 points lost
again this is HARD to do, but you may do it by accidnet
so watch the fight over and study what character s were used and which
you used to def or to attack with
let\'s take Saelym and jcbravo0
if they were to fight here\'s what would happen
Saelym is weaker and has more loses right now
and jcbravo who left lol has more wins and is more balanced
now if jcbravo 92 wins attacked Saelym with 11 wins
you would think that jcbravo would beat Saelym easily because he is
stronger and his creatures are bigger
but if Saelym had a good slider bar def he could win with a simple
ritual
saelym has these Creatures - armor, barren soul, archer and an egg
to defend himself he will want to use the archer and the barren soul
and put the slider on about 61
once he hatches the egg and get his element to that def
elements steal much VE from the attacking player
which will bring his creature energy up too high and cause him to lose
against Saelym
ok so now we have a winning defense
- err.. so should i get another egg..? O_o
lol
well I can\'t say that the elements are bad
but yes THIS IS A SECRET ONLY FOR YOU ALL HERE RIGHT NOW
yes everyone should have atleast one egg
I have 4
this will help you in the future of the game too
Curien: what comes out of the big expensive egg that I can\'t buy right
now?
Envy of Enduranc.: lesson 5
how about let\'s change and talk about elements
or should we continue with the SLIDER BAR?
what do you guys want to learn?
- finish one lesson fully a day please^^
lol ok
lesson 5 - sneak attacks
What about sneak attacks - ninja style
I don\'t like this style but you do have to do it from time to time
and your slider bar is set differently
first off I get my heat to over 3000
then I set my attacking ritual with 2 elements, 2 archers, and 2 barren
souls
I set my slider to 74 - now why this works for me is this
these are sneak attacks
i run around as fast as i can and hit as many players as possible and
then get out of that realm before i get beat up
i have no def and if I get hit my creatures will die
ok so how to play it smart
the slider is set to 74 because i\'m there to get wins, and not die
i want to not grow my creatures but a little and i want protection
should i get attacked so i can limp back to the sanctuary without
losing all of my VE and AP
if I set the slider bar to 100 and i get hit, the creatures die (too
much energy being used to def myself), i die because they used all my
VE and the walk back to safety is long
now at 74, if i get hit they have a chance to survive (which will hold
my winning ritual in place) and i have enough VE to hit one more player
on my way back to sanctuary
if i set it lower to 50, i win about 38% of the time, which means i
lose the first fight and then my creatures are too weak to fight again
so the sneak attack is over
and I wasted all that time getting full VE into my creatures for the
sneak attack to work
sneak attack is all about getting 6-8 wins and running back to safety
ok here\'s how i plan the attack
i get full VE (usually by clicking on the free credits, with full life)
it gives you a nice addition to your VE and then I run and attack one
player per room
fight and run
like a ninja
I will add more to that when I teach of strategies
we are talking about the mechanics of the slider bar and you will have
to do a ninja attack at some point in the game
I don\'t like it but there is a place for it
ok have you all learned this evening?
I\'m usually on from 5:00 pm - 3:00 am
my time is -7 GMT
Become my adept, because magic is stronger with
numbers.
Most of you know but for those that don\'t, I will give a brief over
view:
Creature have an age and the creature can be upgraded to learn more as
it grows older
(if you have a question I will answer it at the end of each lesson)
Lesson 2 - How I found it (intro)
As many of you may know, I play the game a lot like most of you do
I started out not making friends or even really speaking to anyone
I used my time to focus on how the mechanics of the game operate
How I could better my player and my creatures and what truly makes this
concept work
my lesson last night was about the slider bar and how to use it to
defend yourself and attack others
Defending is my personal favorite and I spent many hours trying to
protect my self against mp4 players and mp5 players (now that I\'m in
the alliance)
well, one of the first things I did was try to upgrade creatures. I was
talking to Khal on my first week and he mentioned an elemental might be
good to have in my pocket
I trained hard everyday (usually logging on 8-10 times a day) hatching
eggs and studying how the elementals work together as a team and as an
extra in my group
Morgana Le Fey was talking to me and asked about how I came across this
to ensure it wasn\'t a bug or that I was cheating
Lesson 3 - How I found it
so when I had first mentioned the creature age faster upgrade I didn\'t
even know I was one of the few who knew about it
I assumed it part of the game (and it may or may not be)
I\'m not 100% that you will get the exact same result I got, but I will
tell you how I receive the upgrade, how it works for me and what it
exactly does in this teaching today
when I asked around on how much age is equal to one human day
noone had a real answer. most players told me it was 1 day = 1 age year
for a creature
well, from what I know about programming, that seemed to be logical
answer
but from what I learned of Mur programming. the logic was now clouded
he is such a master at the complete concept that I am often found
sitting wiht my mouth open when I find new parts to the game
so I get sick to my stomach when I hear others say this game is lame
it\'s not a game to some of us. and if you seek out information in the
game and not just sit chatting about your bathroom habits you will
realize that
Lesson 4 - lets get to the basics
HOW DOES IT WORK?
when i attack someone I use the slider bar at 60-80%
it seems to do better for me. not 100% like most players
I experiment with heat and the slider all the time
ok i found it like this: I had 2 elementals newly hatched
I had heat of 2500 and I attacked someone stronger than me. Now at that
time
I didn\'t understand creature skill and slider bar yet
was still experiementing with attacks
but when I went to give my creatures life after they got killed, I was
like:
"hmmm it seems my creature is older than my other one, even though I
hatched them and purchased them on the same day"
i thought it was a secret and the game and moved on
then I had high heat and attack a week later and my archers seemed to
have jumped up
so I still wasn\'t positive this was happening or I had forgotten what
age they were or even what day today was
but I did notice I only used 2 elementals to fight all battles as
friends and one could upgrade to level 5 and the other was still 17
years younger?
huh? they were born on the same day?
so now that got me to wondering about how I was making their age change
so I could get more elmentals because I heard rumors that I may need
them to be a certain someone, somewhere. so i started farming those
eggs out and about 1 month ago, I forgot all about it because i figured
I had just found some lucky secret and everyone knows about it and
whatever
Many of you are asking yourself, I fight with heat, where\'s my faster
aging?
Now, again this may or may not work for everyone everytime and I have
only had between last lesson and this one to really tested it so I
don\'t look stupid today. :)
so between testing it from last lesson and this lesson I think I found
out the secret,
the true mechanics. everyone should test this after I tell you and
please keep me posted
I would like to know if it works for all mp levels, what creature sets
you have, how much heat and VE - the whole test analysis
this could prove to be a big opportunity for those of us here today
I figured all mp5 players knew about it like they know how to kill a
tree
Lesson 5 - These are my current findings
When I used these rituals - elemental (now he\'s a level 3) it did seem
that his age changed at a rate of 1.2 - 1.5
now I noticed a change of 1.2-3 years when I was a mp3
and for 2 elementals to be 17 years apart proves that. I sacrificed
that elemental so I couldn\'t look now to indeed say I\'m 100% on the
age difference
but from what I remember it was that much difference
ok now how I got those number:
nothing happened when I bar between 60-80
but when I had max heat and the dragon showed up, I got a HUGE amount
of experience skill per creatures which caused their age to change
well, when I was mp3 I had no way making that much heat, and if I did
I didn\'t know how I could have got that high heat
so I changed the slider bar back and forth and attacked and even fought
Shoeps today to find a real answer I could share with you today
he just leveled my creatures and I gained no skill . lol
but when I had 1200 heat and put the slider on 42% and won a fight when
I attacked something new happened! - age increase!
the number are so small, but they are there it seems
or I am really bad at math and I shouldn\'t be a programmer
well, then I think I also noticed this, when Morgana Le Fey attacked me
with her trees to give me skill it seemed my Loreroot Archer gained 2
years and a weird thing happened
my bird egg - that was just hatched age went up
now that makes no sense at all to me he doesn\'t even fight yet
he\'s a little bird and he wasn\'t in the fight his VE is 40
it seemed he went up from 5 to 7 years old!
now this was before testing by 1 day, but I noticed it and that\'s what
got me chatting about it again. ok so now there\'s a catch...
Lesson 6 - the catch
after testing and not sleeping at all, i was clicking around on the
creatures and just wondered what they all needed to upgrade
I looked at my bird and his age was 5
I\'m sorry if I mentioned before bird age was 7 - it was actually 6
7 is to upgrade bird
anyway I was like 5?
he was just 6 when I started testing my theory
atleast I think he was
time to result to the actual data
I looked at my excel spreadsheet and BAM!
My bird WAS 6 years old now he was 5
ok now I found a bug?
no I think what I actually discovered was that somehow my bird got a
temporary age increase and since it wasn\'t used as an upgrade then he
must have lost it
now that made sense why my original elementals were so far in age. I
kept upgrading the one as he got older, the day I could upgrade I
usually do.
but since I didn\'t upgrade them both, the other elemental went back to
what his original age was. I believe that I have found something here
and I would love for you all to keep me posted on your findings
that concludes todays lesson
Day 2 - Questions and Answers
oh, IMPORTANT
I may have had to win by 1-5% but I can\'t prove that yet, not enough
test fights
I wanted to check water elementals and trees
from what I can tell - elementals, heretic and my little bird all aged
but I have no facts on heretic
Q: and in your rituals, you used which of them?
A: i used 2 elementals and 2 heretic and 1 barren soul
it\'s hard to factor everything because I\'m not fighting the same
creature set everytime. I use the same but I fight many different
players
Q: just tell me when you noticed that changes how much was your maximum
vital energy
A: 8600
but i noticed changes on different levels. but 1.2 and 1.5 don\'t show
exactly because I couldn\'t get a full 24 hour timer to check things
I can\'t see them over a period of a week I could have exact real data
but the bird changed and I saw that and it was written down
well atleast I noticed him lose 1 year so that means the other factors
must be correct
they just need to be tested more
Q: according to what you said earlier, if you don\'t upgrade the
creatures right away, the \'temporary\' age is gone?
A: it seems that way
bird and the other elementals were both fighting together all the time
i was farming them to get big quick and they were 17 years apart
now if there\'s a way to go through all my code, (which there may be,
then I could see actual facts) then I could have REAL proof to show you
for todays lesson
I\'m sure Mur will email me later if there is and we can look over it
Q: when you notice the age changes, did it ever increase by more than 1?
A: I\'m not saying I\'m 100% correct on all this, but I would love some
proof
to either say I am correct or it wasx my imagination lol
well, from what I remember with the elementals it was 1.2-3 years per
day
3 years is a BIG change
please keep me posted - not tomorrow, but the next day we have a new
lesson
and please meet here to chat if you like
Day 3
Envy of Endurance.: ok let\'s begin pupils
Envy of Endurance.: lesson 1 - How you should fight to raise your
creatures
Envy of Endurance.: and yourself at the same level so you dont go mp4
with small creatures
Envy of Endurance.: First thing you want to do is get your 100 wins
Envy of Endurance.: Which is part of your story. but getting there you
will also want to keep raising your creatures so they are strong and
powerful when you reach mp4 level
Envy of Endurance.: I just became a level mp5
Avionics: :D
Envy of Endurance.: today, but i didn\'t choose to go yet because if i
did you would be missing this teaching
Envy of Endurance.: I would be stuck in story mode for 5 days and i
can\'t talk to anyone
Envy of Endurance.: :)
Envy of Endurance.: ok
Envy of Endurance.: My advice is this
Envy of Endurance.: If your battles are incresing large or against
harder players your creatures skill (experience) will be going at a
different rate then your wins
Envy of Endurance.: You may get 100 wins and still have a long time to
reach the desired experience level to advance to the mp4 level
Envy of Endurance.: This, as most players here do not know
Envy of Endurance.: Is not how you advance
Envy of Endurance.: It will prove difficult to your character to
advance this way
Envy of Endurance.: causing many issues at mp4 as you will get killed
often and it will be painful and frustrating
lxulies: can you clarify something?
Envy of Endurance.: Pick on weaker opponents. This way your exp doest
outstrip your won battles, and your creatures can be higher level when
you hit mp4.
Envy of Endurance.: Go ahead my pupil
lxulies: Whne you\'re just starting at (as i am) it is very difficult
to find fights with opponents that are weaker. What then
Envy of Endurance.: Good ? actually .
Envy of Endurance.: you will try and find equal battles. Just do not
try and take on the tough player who\'s almost a mp4 level
Envy of Endurance.: Another tip - alwaysv attack with 6 creatures, same
reason.
Envy of Endurance.: Ok any ? right now speak
Envy of Endurance.: ok Lesson 2 - What creatures you need
Envy of Endurance.: This has been a hard decision and to tell you a
little about my own game play
Envy of Endurance.: quite interesting on the same note
Envy of Endurance.: I teach what i have experienced. I don\'t ask
others for their opinions and then post it
Envy of Endurance.: I try something and if that doesn\'t work, i take a
nap and try something else in an hour when i have full VP again
Envy of Endurance.: I am good at defense. Actually i may be one of the
top players with defense.
Envy of Endurance.: It is my favorite and i will teach you all my
methods
Envy of Endurance.: Which will not only make you a stronger player
because you can chat without constantly getting killed
Envy of Endurance.: as fast and becuase you can win VICTORIES with a
great def
Envy of Endurance.:let me say, I may the top mp4 player at def
Envy of Endurance.: lol - but i guess I\'m basically a mp5 now
Envy of Endurance.: Morgana Le Fey is good at def also
Envy of Endurance.: If you know her, ask her sometime she has many
helpful hints
Envy of Endurance.: ok so what creatures do you need?
Envy of Endurance.: well, that depends on how you want to play the game
Envy of Endurance.: I really like calling it a "experience" and not a
"game"
Envy of Endurance.: but you get the idea
Envy of Endurance.: calling it a game in a lesson makes it easier to
understand but if you catch me in chat elsewhere you will understand
what i mean
Envy of Endurance.: user heretic archers
Envy of Endurance.: use
Envy of Endurance.: use a barren soul or even 2 of them at mp3
Envy of Endurance.: aramors do damage
Envy of Endurance.: if you want to be tough attacking player go that
route
Envy of Endurance.: but i must say there are times in the game that
certain creatures may help you with your tasks
Envy of Endurance.: so another good choice is the elemental
Envy of Endurance.: if you are more interested in playing a defensive
role then go with a few elementals Envy of Endurance.: My normal attack ritual was this at
mp3 Envy of Endurance.: I would go into attack with 2
archers, 1 barren soul and 1 element
Envy of Endurance.: now you map play a different game then i did
Envy of Endurance.: perhaps you want to be a healer like i am now
Envy of Endurance.: then you want more barren souls on your side
Envy of Endurance.: they bring healing to both you and another player
during a healing ritual
Envy of Endurance.: which will be talk for another lesson
Envy of Endurance.: ok any ? before lesson 3?
Envy of Endurance.: ok lesson 3 - loreroot
Envy of Endurance.: Loreroot is another land and guarded by 2 mean
guards
Envy of Endurance.: 2 of which will smash you and then laugh at your
bloody mess as they slip and slide around on your insides
Envy of Endurance.: get into Loreroot as soon as you can.
Envy of Endurance.: I really suggest waiting until you are closer to
mp4 to do so
Envy of Endurance.: so you don\'t waste time and creatures getting
smasked
Envy of Endurance.: smashed
Envy of Endurance.: I was already a mp4 when i fought them and i lost 6
times to them
Envy of Endurance.: and now my nose is permanently bent
Envy of Endurance.: Loreroot has many interesting things to explore but
remember
Envy of Endurance.: as i said before - fighting creatures they are
tough, not recommended
Envy of Endurance.: I\'m not going to give any of you a spoiler on how
to beat them, as that time will come when you have fought them enough
times you will
Envy of Endurance.: understand their mechanics
Envy of Endurance.: important!
Envy of Endurance.: important!
Envy of Endurance.: replay your fights
Envy of Endurance.: I watch who attacks me and what ritual they had
Envy of Endurance.: and if I won, why did i win
Envy of Endurance.: was i out of VE? does a armor beat a archer
Envy of Endurance.: what and how did they win this battle
Envy of Endurance.: if you want to be a great player listen to that
knowledge from me
Envy of Endurance.: i didn\'t in the beginning and i couldn\'t become a
good player until beginning of mp4 when i started understanding why i
won
Envy of Endurance.: I just loaded up the team in the back of my truck
and started plowing full force through everyone and laughing as i went
Envy of Endurance.: Hoo
Envy of Endurance.: that\'s what we say for congratulations or
Envy of Endurance.: weeeeeeeeee
Envy of Endurance.: well, i do anyway. I want to make it stick here
though
Envy of Endurance.: saves time typing and is international, i think
Envy of Endurance.: Lesson 4 next - any ?
Envy of Endurance.: ok Lesson 4 - When or how to use Heat
Envy of Endurance.: it\'s ok
Ixulies: yes
Ixulies: mod
Envy of Enduranc.: ok cool
Ixulies: *most
Envy of Enduranc.: ty both
Ixulies: ignoring idle chatter
Envy of Enduranc.: just copy it all
DimebagDerek: yes all the lesson parts
Envy of Enduranc.: add it all in there
DimebagDerek: im not trying to keep up with the questions
Envy of Enduranc.: we use it for Q and A at the end of each lesson
Envy of Enduranc.: just grab the whole window at a time
Envy of Enduranc.: I type fast sometimes but I do take breaks because I
get lots of PM
Envy of Enduranc.: during lessons about my alliances
Envy of Enduranc.: do the best you can and ty
Envy of Enduranc.: ok heat - heat is used a little in mp4 but mostly in
mp5
Envy of Enduranc.: I don\'t think you should really stress over it
Envy of Enduranc.: it can cause your creatures to grow too fast
Envy of Enduranc.: I used it in mp3 level and I did notice an
occasioanl win
Envy of Enduranc.: but not worth ti to use heat at mp3
Envy of Enduranc.: King I sent you a PM
Envy of Enduranc.: ok Lesson 5
Ixulies: wait
Ixulies: how do you use it in a fight?
Ixulies: i see the counter, but how...
Envy of Enduranc.: In my opinion, MP3 should never use heat. Heat are
only useful for: - Boosting VP gained from battles (a good thing) -
Boosting bonus skills gained from battles. (a good thing) - Boosting
your personal xp gained from battles (not always a good thing)
Envy of Enduranc.: But heat does NOT boost xp gained by creatures.
However, in MP3, leveling up your creatures is much more significant
than increasing your skill, so you should just fight with no heat.
Envy of Enduranc.: ok how it actuall works
Envy of Enduranc.: the circle (heat ring)
Envy of Enduranc.: at top right of your page
Envy of Enduranc.: fill up with heat from doing various tasks
Envy of Enduranc.: when it reached 1000 or greater click on it
Envy of Enduranc.: there are 2 balls when you start
Envy of Enduranc.: I think you can purchase more and have a total of 6
Envy of Enduranc.: is that right Draconic and Bull?
Envy of Enduranc.: 6 balls total?
Ixulies: each click constitutes a "purchase"?
Envy of Enduranc.: each click of waht?
Envy of Enduranc.: what?
Ixulies: or you mean you can get more slots to hold more?
Robo Puppy: yep
Ixulies: ok
Robo Puppy: 6 erolyn devices
Envy of Enduranc.: yes ty Robo
*DraconicNinja*: in the MD shop, atdeeper shop levels you can ulock a
total of 4 additional heat balls
*DraconicNinja*: but keep in ind, that 4k heat is the maximum
Envy of Enduranc.: ok there you have it
Envy of Enduranc.: Lesson 5 now -
Ixulies: wait
Envy of Enduranc.: what?
Ixulies: sorry...but how are the heat balls used?
*DraconicNinja*: the heat balls are basicaly storage devices
*DraconicNinja*: each one holds 1008 heat
*DraconicNinja*: when you klick on a heat ball, you will gain 1008 heat
Envy of Enduranc.: oh yea sorry
Envy of Enduranc.: lol
Ixulies: ok
Robo Puppy: The big one you just need to click it to store it in the
smaller ones, once you have over 1000 Heat, it will store 1000 Heat in
each of the smaller balls
Ixulies: how do you implement that into combat/
*DraconicNinja*: wich in high mp levels can be used for spells
Ixulies: ?
Envy of Enduranc.: if you fight and win it can go up, it also increases
when you sacrfice a creature which will talk about now
*DraconicNinja*: but at the low mp levels heat is used to increase stat
gains from fights
Envy of Enduranc.: spells at higher mp5 or mp6 levels he means
Ixulies: so, if i click the ring
Ixulies: it\'ll store whatever heat is there
Ixulies: and that will automatically be used in the next fight?
Envy of Enduranc.: no
Envy of Enduranc.: if you click the ring nothing will happen nless
*DraconicNinja*: no, you need to have a total of or above 1k to store it
Envy of Enduranc.: unless your heat in the ring is over 1000
Ixulies: ok
Envy of Enduranc.: then you will store it in the ball
Envy of Enduranc.: you can store 1000 in each ball
Envy of Enduranc.: when you click ball that 1008 will go into ring and
can be used
Envy of Enduranc.: you can also click 2 balls and get 20oo heat
Ixulies: how do you actually use it in combat?
Envy of Enduranc.: 2000
Envy of Enduranc.: and then use that
Ixulies: who is attacking me?
Envy of Enduranc.: you can carry even more heat than that which you
will find as you play
Envy of Enduranc.: but as mp3 I don\'t recommend you use heat at all
Envy of Enduranc.: except if you are bored and want to play with it
Envy of Enduranc.: King PM me back
Envy of Enduranc.: I\'m waiting
Ixulies: I\'m just trying to understand the game mechanic
Envy of Enduranc.: that\'s more than you need to know really at mp3
Envy of Enduranc.: but always good to ask ?
Envy of Enduranc.: ok on my Day 1 lesson I spoke of the ninja attack
*DraconicNinja*: basicaly it modifies the reward you get from combat,
the more heat u have the higher the effect it will have on your stat
increases
Envy of Enduranc.: I don\'t like this way of attacking
Envy of Enduranc.: but you will use it at some point in your
Envy of Enduranc.: wars
Envy of Enduranc.: yes, ty Draconic
Envy of Enduranc.: :)
DimebagDerek: Im guessing thats popping in and out of a sanctuary to
fight
Envy of Enduranc.: no
Envy of Enduranc.: actually that\'s not what it is at all
DimebagDerek: sorry i missed your day 1 i do not know of the ninja
attack
Envy of Enduranc.: you may at some point need to go fast through the
game and attack as many players as possible. think of a sped attack
Envy of Enduranc.: speed
Envy of Enduranc.: but it\'s called ninja attaking
Envy of Enduranc.: you run from room to room and hit 1 player and go to
the next and hit 1 player
Envy of Enduranc.: you already have a attack rit set so you don\'t have
to waste any time
Envy of Enduranc.: you attack, run to next room, choose same exact
attacking ritual and then move to next room and attack another player
until you lose too much
Envy of Enduranc.: and have to rest and recover
Envy of Enduranc.: it\'s not my recommended way but you will use it
Envy of Enduranc.: as some point
Envy of Enduranc.: some areas like Marinds Gates you can just go ask
others to attack you and if you can attack them
*DraconicNinja*: NOTE--- this attack method is very annoying, try not
to use it unless neccesary
Envy of Enduranc.: it\'s a doj o area set up by Calyx of Isis
Envy of Enduranc.: NOTE - yes really annoying
Envy of Enduranc.: she is most wise
Day 5
Envy of Enduranc.: Today my lesson will be random
Envy of Enduranc.: talking about heads game, heat, creatures sets and
some secrets
Envy of Enduranc.: Let\'s start with heads game overview
Envy of Enduranc.: Heads game was created to get mor eplayers to fight
and come up with def rits (defense rituals)
Envy of Enduranc.: I personally hate the heads game
Envy of Enduranc.: but that\'s because I don\'t like running around too
much
Envy of Enduranc.: it\'s tiring on my old legs
Envy of Enduranc.: heads game is fun, but not for me
Envy of Enduranc.: you collect heads by attacking other players
Envy of Enduranc.: and depending on how much you beat the other player
you get more heads
Envy of Enduranc.: from the player you attacked
King Bull: i am keeping my heads
Envy of Enduranc.: less when you def
Cubix: What is the aim of def rituals?
Envy of Enduranc.: to protect yourself from random attacks
Envy of Enduranc.: I never have more than 1 head in stock because I
just let players fight me to get the head
Envy of Enduranc.: but anyway
Cubix: But many times we are attacked by stronhg players so they surely
win
Envy of Enduranc.: not always, read my papers after this lesson for the
slider bar def rit
Envy of Enduranc.: you will learn much. you can also become my adept
and learn more
Cubix: Isnt it better to make them to save VitP?
Envy of Enduranc.: :)
Lost WaNder: yes^^ they help.
Envy of Enduranc.: save your ? for the end of this chapter
Cubix: ok sry
Envy of Enduranc.: if you have 7 or more heads you can be attacked in a
sanctuary
Envy of Enduranc.: and you can attack others that have 7 or more in
sanctuary
Envy of Enduranc.: if you hold onto the heads the longest you for your
mp level group you win
Envy of Enduranc.: but time not counted for being in sanctuary
Envy of Enduranc.: kind of like capture the flag
Envy of Enduranc.: hold onto it longer and you will win
Envy of Enduranc.: same concept
Envy of Enduranc.: ok heat lesson next
Lost WaNder: shoot.
Envy of Enduranc.: any ? before I start?
Envy of Enduranc.: ok Lesson 2 HEAT
Envy of Enduranc.: what?
King Bull: can i have ur head
Envy of Enduranc.: sure
Envy of Enduranc.: lol
Envy of Enduranc.: but I may take your arm in the process. lol
Envy of Enduranc.: ok HEAT
Envy of Enduranc.: what is heat used for?
Envy of Enduranc.: Heat is used when fighting to help raise your
creature skill and give you more chance of winning (a little)
Envy of Enduranc.: I don\'t suggest using the heat as a mp3, only as a
mp4 and you NEED it as a mp5
Envy of Enduranc.: each ball above your heat circle holds 1000 heat
Envy of Enduranc.: the heat will be stored if you click the circle when
it has 1000 or more heat in it
Envy of Enduranc.: when you click a ball it will release the heat into
the circle so you can begin fighting and trya nd level your creatures
up with experience
Envy of Enduranc.: the ball will put 1008 heat in your circle
Envy of Enduranc.: CUbix are you still copying?
Cubix: yep
Envy of Enduranc.: ty
Envy of Enduranc.: How I use heat. I put heat into my circle. Attack
and then immediately put the heat back in ball.
Envy of Enduranc.: Release heat back into circle and then back into
ball after attacking again
Envy of Enduranc.: You may find that after you do that a lot, something
good will happen. hint
Envy of Enduranc.: :)
Envy of Enduranc.: ok Lesson 3
Envy of Enduranc.: What\'s to do next
Cubix: is that thin that will happen somehow great?
Cubix: Because some slower connections could not make this...
Envy of Enduranc.: Start game, get through story mode (try and use the
longest times to get most skill), but I know you will want to get right
to game play
Envy of Enduranc.: Cubix try it or don\'t
Envy of Enduranc.: you will see
Envy of Enduranc.: moving on
Envy of Enduranc.: get an elemental creature and raise him to be strong
Envy of Enduranc.: you will need him to gain access at sometime in the
game
Envy of Enduranc.: oops another hint
Envy of Enduranc.: I\'m not good at this lesson thing. lol
Envy of Enduranc.: if you get enough VE, buy an egg and let it hatch
Envy of Enduranc.: it will help protect you some way
Envy of Enduranc.: oops another hint
King Bull: another hint?
Envy of Enduranc.: for new players
Envy of Enduranc.: :)
Envy of Enduranc.: not for you sire
Envy of Enduranc.: PM me if you have a ? about that King
Envy of Enduranc.: ok anyway
Envy of Enduranc.: Lesson 4 - Creature Sets for Lost Wanderer
Envy of Enduranc.: This is knoweldge that many don\'t know
Envy of Enduranc.: so this is what you have all been waiting to hear
Envy of Enduranc.: Lost Wanderer asked me to teach it, but he left
right now
Envy of Enduranc.: so he misses out
Envy of Enduranc.: oh, there he is!
Envy of Enduranc.: ok let\'s begin
Envy of Enduranc.: I\'m going to explain how to setup your creature in
a rit but not just anyway
Envy of Enduranc.: it\'s a secret way
Envy of Enduranc.: If you are setting 6 creatures to attack here\'s
waht you do
Logan Role
Playing
Logan Marquis: thank you very much.
Logan Marquis: ok, i\'d like to start us off with a bit of an
interactive game...
Logan Marquis: in order to get everyone introduced with one another,
this is what we are going to do...
Logan Marquis: i want everyone to think of one word that describes your
character (only one word)...
xcercses: should we tell you know the word?
Logan Marquis: i am going to say a person and i want them to say that
word...then i\'ll say someone else...we\'ll continue on until everyone
has gone.
xcercses: *now
Logan Marquis: :-p
Logan Marquis: patience is a virtue, x.
xcercses: sry
Logan Marquis: it\'s ok, bud...gotta learn somehow.
Logan Marquis: ok...so...is everyone ready?
xcercses: yes
Aleron: yup
Logan Marquis: allright...
Karak: *nods*
Logan Marquis: give me your word x.
xcercses: werwolf
FumaKilla: kind of
xcercses: lol
Logan Marquis: allright.
Logan Marquis: good word.
Logan Marquis: looks like semi is idling...
Logan Marquis: ok...then...Fuma?
FumaKilla: me? Lost
Logan Marquis: lol. nice.
Logan Marquis: lady amethyst?
xcercses: she is idle too
Logan Marquis: ugh, allright.
Logan Marquis: karak?
Karak: optomistic
Logan Marquis: very good word.
Logan Marquis: aleron?
Aleron: quiet
Logan Marquis: all right, very good
Logan Marquis: i want you to think of these words as more than just a
single word. they are the doors to your character so to speak.
Logan Marquis: when other characters meet you...they should be able to
come up with these single words to describe you on their own.
Lady Amethyst: sorry was eating supper
Logan Marquis: in other words, you should not have to tell people your
role/character persona.
Logan Marquis: lady, what is one word to describe your char?
Logan Marquis: *bows to Lucius
Lady Amethyst: mmm that\'s hard..
Tarquinus: [returns the bow]
Lady Amethyst: inquesative..
Lady Amethyst: i don\'t think i spelt that right
Logan Marquis: good word.
Logan Marquis: good word.
Logan Marquis: it\'s ok...i got it, lol.
Logan Marquis: and tarquinus, one word to describe tarquinus?
Lady Amethyst: but that\'s just for the moment
Lady Amethyst: i know how to rp
Lady Amethyst: i\'ve roleplayed online for years and yes.. played dnd
Tarquinus: need you ask?
Tarquinus: sardonic.
Logan Marquis: good to know. i imagine you will still get something out
of this...
Logan Marquis: thank you lucius.
Logan Marquis: ok...
Logan Marquis: so again...
Lady Amethyst: of course
Logan Marquis: these words are in essence, for now, your character. if
i were to have met you outside this lesson, i should be able to come up
with that word on my own...
Logan Marquis: this is the art of roleplaying, really.
Logan Marquis: to create the character and the persona through
interaction both verbal and non-verbal.
Logan Marquis: interactions between two characters can be VERY big for
roleplay.
Logan Marquis: for instance...
Logan Marquis: *bows to Tarquinus* how would you describe Logan
Marquis, good friend?
Logan Marquis: *holds up his hand* do not answer tarquinus.
Tarquinus: [grin]
Logan Marquis: i want you to notice that in the short little
interaction, i did two things important...
Logan Marquis: one...i created the attention and the action...
Logan Marquis: it is VERY important that there is action in roleplay
Logan Marquis: after all, how many of you outside of MD do nothing but
talk?
Logan Marquis: everything you do, from eat, sleep, and live life,
involves some action
Logan Marquis: would anyone disagree?
Lady Amethyst: no but i would add think too
Logan Marquis: well yeah
Logan Marquis: everything you do, from eat, sleep, and live life,
involves some action
Logan Marquis: would anyone disagree?
Lady Amethyst: no but i would add think too
Logan Marquis: well yeah
Lady Amethyst: you can also think in character..
Logan Marquis: that falls under live life :-p
Logan Marquis: *thinks Lady Amethyst is very correct*
Tarquinus: even inaction is a form of action. Continue.
Logan Marquis: thank you tarquinus.
Logan Marquis: with that said, i want to go into another activity that
requires some thought...
Logan Marquis: that single word, for now, is your character
Logan Marquis: i am observer(forgot to say that)
Logan Marquis: i am going to interact with someone for a short little
bit, and i want them, in character of that word, to interact back and
then to choose someone else and interact with them...and so on and so
forth until we all have interacted...
Logan Marquis: does everyone follow?
Lady Amethyst: yeps
FumaKilla: so far yes..
xcercses: yup
Karak: *smiles in agreement*
Logan Marquis: good...
Logan Marquis: *hops up onto his rock and looks down at Karak. he
smiles as he pulls out his notepad and pencil and begins to jot down
some notes about him* mmhmm...so tell me about yourself...
Logan Marquis: ((pardon if the interactions are not the best
roleplay...but this is just quick interaction for the purpose of the
lesson only))
Lady Amethyst: (roleplay isn\'t always serious anyways :P)
Karak: *rubs his chin*Hmmm... I have wandered this world for many days
yet and find all manner of interesting... occurences abound.
Logan Marquis: *nods as he scribbles more notes* i see...i see...very
VERY interesting indeed....
Logan Marquis: ((ok...karak...turn to someone else and continue the
interaction with them...and then so on and so forth))
Karak: Some good friends I have made and .... yet I feel there is more
to find... Ahh and last night... *stands and twirls on the spot*
Karak: Lucius, was not the dancing invigorating! *Hums tunefully*
Tarquinus: Lovely, is she not? My ancient slaves had a saying:
beautiful are the breasts that protrude but a little.
Lady Amethyst: ((sorry i gtg for awhile. my daughter needs put to bed))
Logan Marquis: ((*laughs heartily* awesome...ok lady amethyst...see you
later maybe?))
Tarquinus: Apparently giants and slavers walk among us, though; I
noticed a tyrant.
Ariel the cruel: Sorry I\'m late; I got lost on the way. I can mock you
twice as much to make up for it if you like. Heh heh heh.
Tarquinus: [to FumaKilla] how best to gauge the strength of a man? By
what he loves, what he fears, or [pointing to one side] abandons like a
codex on the battlefield?
Karak: Ahhh. But I could only stay a short while and believe I missed
them. *sits beside Tarquinus smiling*
Karak: Ahhh. But I could only stay a short while and believe I missed
them. *sits beside Tarquinus smiling*
FumaKilla: *clear his throat* well the best to gauge the strength of a
man is by what he love... but i\'m not so sure again now... for i got
lost myself..
Logan Marquis: ((doing well all...keep it going))
Tarquinus: suppose he meant to assault Necrovion and had the means to
do so - how would you stop him?
Logan Marquis: ((no topic ariel...the goal and purpose are mine to
know...not yours :-p just interact when someone interacts with you))
Tarquinus: [to Ariel] we are interacting to show the nature of our
character, preferably how it may be defined succinctly.
Penelope LightMo.: *bumps into Ariel* My pardon, I did not see you there
Logan Marquis: *glares at Penny* behave please...
Tarquinus: [extends a hand to Penelope] depraved apprentice, please
join us.
Ariel the cruel: When does anyone ever truely see anyone anywhere?
Penelope LightMo.: *giggles* I was helping, Logan...providing said
action
Penelope LightMo.: *comes to stand beside Lucius*
Logan Marquis: enough...
FumaKilla: i dunno what the other might think of but you can find your
other self within the lost state...... what do you think x.. :( ((sorry
english wasn\'t my first language))
Logan Marquis: ((fuma, you are doing fine))...
Logan Marquis: x...go ahead ...
Tarquinus: (agreed, go on)
Ariel the cruel: *Takes a seat on a wheel and watches people try to be
themselves.*
Penelope LightMo.: *smiles at fuma*
xcercses: hmmm....you really want to know what i think? well i think of
a big bloody steak....
Penelope LightMo.: Nicely seasoned, I hope, x
Logan Marquis: penny....
Logan Marquis: *glares*
Penelope LightMo.: *quiets*
Logan Marquis: thank you...
Logan Marquis: ok...
xcercses: mhhhh....flesh there is nothing more delicious then
meat...*glares hungry at Karak*
Logan Marquis: you can see how important it is to include actions with
your speech.
Logan Marquis: it\'s one thing to say something, but when you add
action to it, it really creates and invokes an emotion or sense of
emotion
Logan Marquis: as an example...
Logan Marquis: penny, do not respond to this...just pay attention...
Logan Marquis: hello penny...
Logan Marquis: OR...
Logan Marquis: *turns to penny, grabs her hand and raises it to his
lips. a short little kiss greets the back of her hand, and a smile
follows from his mouth* Greetings Lady Penelope ((note...this is NOT
real :-p))
Logan Marquis: which one do you think evokes more emotions?
Logan Marquis: which one REALLY gets the point of the greeting across?
and which one says MORE about me?
Logan Marquis: ((you are allowed to answer now :-p))
Penelope LightMo.: *giggles*
xcercses: well the second one....mhhh...meat
Logan Marquis: exactly.
Logan Marquis: now...
Lady Amethyst: ((is back))
Tarquinus: she is very nice with a side of asparagus.
Karak: *scratches his head* You mean we should have to think about it?
*checks his person for any missing bits*
Ariel the cruel: Neither. (>_>) (*Isn\'t the best person to take
lessons from*)
Logan Marquis: lol @ karak. very good point :-p
:::::::: Aleron: Out of my mind. Back in five minutes. ::::::::
Logan Marquis: how many of you have chosen a role?
Logan Marquis: or a persona for those new to the game?
Penelope LightMo.: *raises her hand*
Logan Marquis: i know lucius has.
Logan Marquis: any others>
Logan Marquis: ?
xcercses: yep
Ariel the cruel: Everyone... Wether or not it is something noticeable
is the question...
Karak: *Tentatively raises his hand* Tis evolving as I find myself a
home here
Logan Marquis: and karak brings me to the very important part of our
lesson :-)
Logan Marquis: the key to finding a role for yourself on magicduel is
this:
Tarquinus: [to Karak] do not slight yourself, brother. That is why
Ariel came.
Logan Marquis: you can be anything you wish to be here...
Ariel the cruel: *Has a chosen Persona/role.*
Logan Marquis: magicduel truly is maleable to whatever YOU choose
Penelope LightMo.: *whispers to Lucius*
Logan Marquis: or the wordsmith himself, Lucius...
Logan Marquis: or Penelope.
Logan Marquis: and even Aleron.
Ariel the cruel: (>_>)
Ariel the cruel: I\'m not insane.
Logan Marquis: all of them have VERY different ideas for their
characters.
Logan Marquis: you pretty much could say they aren\'t really alike
Logan Marquis: hush ariel.
xcercses: *still thikns on meat* mhhh
Logan Marquis: YET...
Tarquinus: compared to the metallic rabbit golem, she is sanity itself
Logan Marquis: they all come together in this place...
Karak: Well that stands to reason "We are all individuals"
Logan Marquis: precisely karak
Logan Marquis: and as unique as you each are...so should your
characters and their roles.
Penelope LightMo.: Ariel, how did you come up with your role?
Logan Marquis: there is pretty much NO reason why anyone should have
the same role as another.
Penelope LightMo.: So often it gives ladies a bad reputation. But you
seem to do quite well.
Logan Marquis: ok, are there any questions?
Tarquinus: [observes Logan, thinking]
Ariel the cruel: First: I\'m male.
Logan Marquis: *laughs at Tarquinus* do not try to prove a point with
me old friend. ;-)
Penelope LightMo.: Oh my
Ariel the cruel: ...
Penelope LightMo.: Do you charge more then, or less?
Logan Marquis: ahem.
Logan Marquis: penny and ariel...
Logan Marquis: HUSH
Tarquinus: apprentice...
Logan Marquis: thank you tarquinus.
Penelope LightMo.: *looks at the ground, and kicks at it*
Logan Marquis: anywho...
Tarquinus: [to Logan and company] I apologize. Someone wants discipline.
xcercses: *tries to get meat out of his mind and raises his hand* well
do we gonna have more lessons?
Logan Marquis: lol.
FumaKilla: got so many question ....... but don\'t worry i\'m used like
this.. :)
Tarquinus: Vile apprentice, go.
Logan Marquis: i want each of you to think on your role...your chosen
persona for this land...
Penelope LightMo.: *stamps*
Karak: The thing is to find out where in the world there is a task
worthy of effort
Tarquinus: [points]
Logan Marquis: i will point at someone and i want them to tell me in a
line or two that persona/role...
Logan Marquis: *points at x*
xcercses: ((i need to excuse my self if i say something wrong))
Logan Marquis: x?
Logan Marquis: ((lol...it\'s totally ok...just go with it))
xcercses: well a flesh hungry beast that howles at the full moon and
attacks everybody he sees?
Logan Marquis: *takes a step back from x as he chuckles* oooooook.....
*points at Tarquinus*
Aleron: he is not here
Logan Marquis: who is gone...
Logan Marquis: *points at aleron*
Aleron: im not here
Logan Marquis: *kicks aleron* oooook *points at karak*
Karak: *checks his person again!* A wandering seeker of knowledge that
he may use to free himself and his friends from this endless day. His
naivety is balanced by his questioning common sense.
Lady Amethyst: (pwned tigermuffin)
Ariel the cruel: *Grabs a rock.* AHy not join in Al.?
Logan Marquis: very nice karak *points at lady amethyst*
Lady Amethyst: :points to the sign on Aleron that says "out of my
mind.. back in 5 mintues":
Logan Marquis: ...?
Lady Amethyst: (oops)
FumaKilla: i took over alerons note ever since :D
Lady Amethyst: a wandering lost soul that seeks to find the mysteries
that seem to be out of her reach at the moment..
Logan Marquis: good fuma
Logan Marquis: good...
Logan Marquis: *points at fuma*
Aleron: actualy i have always been here
FumaKilla: A training healer who end up to be a walking killing
machine... :( so any one here need healing :)
Logan Marquis: lol. nice fuma
Logan Marquis: ok...very good.
Logan Marquis: another piece to roleplaying is that everything about
your character, your interactions, your dialogue, and even your
personal comments and pages, should reflect that persona.
Logan Marquis: oh hey...almost forgot...
Logan Marquis: *points at ariel* :-p
Ariel the cruel: *Points at Logan.* (;p)
Logan Marquis: lol.
Logan Marquis: works for me :-p
Logan Marquis: very few people have REALLY good personal comments set
up.
Logan Marquis: one who you should read extensively is Raven.
xcercses: *points at fuma....mhhh looks delicious*
Logan Marquis: he has a story...something that gives even more insight
into his character.
Logan Marquis: that\'s important because it helps people interact more
informed.
Aleron: in my defense , i am very bad at writing
Ariel the cruel: (Ironicly... Pointing at Logan is partly true...
(>_>) )
Logan Marquis: and the more informed they are...the easier it is to
interact...ironic.
FumaKilla: lol..... do you need my service x?
Logan Marquis: ok...
xcercses: nono fuma im just a little bit hungry....
Logan Marquis: so remember, everyone, to take time with your
pages...make them look good and read well...they should reflect as much
of your role as your character does.
Logan Marquis: they are in essence an extension of your role.
Aleron: .
Logan Marquis: and again, your character in it\'s entirety should be an
extension of your role
Ariel the cruel: *Pulls a bone out of his bag of tricks and throws it
at XC.*
Logan Marquis: a good example of that is Renavoid.
Logan Marquis: ok...
xcercses: ouch grrrr
Logan Marquis: i wanna go over my 5 rules for roleplaying...
Lady Amethyst: :raises hand:
Logan Marquis: 5) Everything constitutes roleplaying...EVERYTHING...so
remember to try to stay in character as much as possible.
Logan Marquis: yes lady amethyst?
Lady Amethyst: are you/is there a guide in the forums about roleplaying?
Logan Marquis: there is not...however...
Logan Marquis: there will be.
Logan Marquis: and it will better than this lesson :-p
Logan Marquis: me being hopped up on benadryl at the moment has made
this rather...hard to conduct :-p
Karak: *looks shocked*
Logan Marquis: lol.
Lady Amethyst: ok no further questions
FumaKilla: *speak to him self* i think interactive lesson like this is
better...
Logan Marquis: awesome...
Logan Marquis: yay fuma! :-)
Logan Marquis: anywho...
xcercses: um logan the 5 rules?
Karak: *nods* here, here
Logan Marquis: 4) do not ever EVER do something to another
player/character that can change things permanently...such as
assassinating them...without their permission to do so.
Logan Marquis: 3) remember to make everything about your character
reflect your role...
Logan Marquis: 2) try to find a way to seperate IC(in-character)
roleplay from OOC(out of character) idle chatter...
Logan Marquis: and finally...number 1...
Logan Marquis: have fun! :-)
Logan Marquis: roleplaying should be a way to extend your character.
Karak: *stands and shakes Logan\'s hand* Thank you! Most informative.
Logan Marquis: they keep you on your toes, while forcing you to really
think about how your character would respond.
Logan Marquis: not done yet!
Logan Marquis: now...
xcercses: *turns his head to logan* did i heard ham?
Logan Marquis: for the final interactive lesson...
Ariel the cruel: Heh heh heh...
Logan Marquis: a three minute roleplay free for all...anything
goes...but it must be roleplayed out...interact with one another...
Logan Marquis: just have a blast for the next 3 minutes!
Logan Marquis: ready...
Logan Marquis: set...
Logan Marquis: GO!
Ariel the cruel: RED LIGHT!
Logan Marquis: *hops off his stone, over to Ariel and squirts Ariel
with a seltzer bottle. he then runs and hides behind the broken wooden
wheel on the ground*
Logan Marquis: *chuckles*
Logan Marquis: everyone...PARTY!
Logan Marquis: go WILD!
Logan Marquis: do anything...
Logan Marquis: you got a limited time tho
xcercses: *turns to logan again* is there also meat on the party?
Ariel the cruel: *Looks down at Logan.* Funny that you hide under the
very thing I\'m sitting on...
xcercses: auuuuuuu*goes wild*
Logan Marquis: *eeps at ariel* uh-oh.
Logan Marquis: lol @ x. yep.
FumaKilla: *shot dart trying to cure x hunger....* ooop sorry wrong
vial .. :(
Ariel the cruel: *Pulls a brick out of his bag and drops it on Logan.*
Lady Amethyst: :laughs at the comics of ariel and logan:
Karak: *Sensing the party mood, Karak rips off his shirt and runs
around* I will find you oh land of "coldie"
Logan Marquis: *gets his in the head and knocked
unconscious...amazingly...within just a second he\'s back awake and no
worse for the wear* ouuuuuuch.
xcercses: *yey takes a stone in his hairy hands and crushes it* thats
much more fun then throwing them
Ariel the cruel: (Bricks are soon to be marketed. Just a heads up...l
(>_>) )
xcercses: THANKS*takes the ham quickly*
Logan Marquis: *walks over Lady Amethyst and takes her hand* may i have
this dance, Lady?
Logan Marquis: go guys...you got 2 minutes now...
Ariel the cruel: Hmm...
Karak: *Singing a wordless tune, Karak takes up a steady dancing beat*
Logan Marquis: *waits ever so patiently for a response...*
FumaKilla: *looks around* and realize what i\'m still lost?
SageWoman: Greetings!
xcercses: *eats the ham quickly*
Logan Marquis: hey sagewoman!
Lady Amethyst: :grins..looking a little bemused: certainly kind sir..
Logan Marquis: you are all of about an hour too late :-p
SageWoman: hey there Logan
FumaKilla: hi Sagewoman..... :)
Karak: *Still singing, he takes Sage\'s hand, gesturing a dance*
SageWoman: too late for what?
Lady Amethyst: (sorry was trying to remember how to spell...)
Logan Marquis: *pulls Lady Amethyst to the center of the clearing and
begins to lead her in a quite humorous little waltz around* you dance
divinely, madam.
Ariel the cruel: ( The "lesson" )
xcercses: *looks at fuma* i still want some more meet
Karak: *in tune* the rp lesson
SageWoman: I would love to but I am on amission. I must respectfully
decline.
Logan Marquis: ((lol @ ariel...nice quotes there buuuuuddy))
Logan Marquis: see ya sage woman!
SageWoman: OH that, I can always ready the pages Ariel.
Lady Amethyst: :still dancing with logan waves at Sagewoman:
FumaKilla: <---- * smack head.didn\'t took Logan\'s lesson in to
practice..*
Ariel the cruel: ( It\'s funny watching some one tech how to be I.C.
while O.O.C. Heh heh heh...)
Logan Marquis: ((i know, lol. it can be quite humorous to teach in that
manner, too))
Ariel the cruel: Which pages dear Sage?
Lady Amethyst: :glaces up at logan: thank you but I have to admit I\'m
not use to the waltz..or any dance lately

This player doesn't have this page. Military Ways and Beliefs There are not many things that stand in the way of a
true warrior.
Whether that is a strength from physical power, spirituality,
knowledge, or numbers in your alliance.
Not being enlightened.
Heads Game. Yea, I won it. But, the stress of running around holding
those heads almost gave me a heart condition.
Players that don\'t take the game seriously.
1. Hang out in Loreroot - Raven's Peace or the Defense Quarters
2. Check your map for anyone approaching you
3. When they get close enough, go towards them to glimpse them if they
are a threat and leave quickly so that it is too late for them to
attack when your name shows up
4. Go to wasp's totem and wait a little bit for them to get close (may
also make tracks to Ravenhold is you have time to throw them off a
little bit)
5. Escape through Loreroot hidden exit and head to MDA gates
6. Now, you have the choice of heading to MDA gardens and just running
around the gardens or going to Marind. I prefer going to Marind because
there are more options but also riskier so you have to shift scenes
really quick
7. Now, at Marble Dale Park, go through the gate and wait for the other
person to also cross the gate and double back and go to a safe location
back in MDA OR *Probably safer route* don't double back and go
directly back to Loreroot
Your chaser should not have enough AP to follow you the whole route if
you have full AP since he has to enter Loreroot TWICE
Have fun, you don't have to follow this to a T, you can always hide in
no name places like the top of paper cabin or top of wasp's totem, but
I think most mp5's know the coordinates now Protector Statement

Comments on Self As
and RPC i wish to have similar spells according to my title and Role
such spells or abilities that would allow me to grant acess to certain
places in the game such as
Necrovian
Golemnus Golecarium
and other places hard to reach such as passage of war and things via
using a Key for solving my quests
I donot wish them for my own personal use but to help others by
unlocking the door so that they may enter just once and once they leave
they must further meet the requirements
Having the ability to help the Dojo of Marble Dale Park with the
policing of the rule breakers
Spells that can temporarily Freeze an opponents creatures making them
unable to fight for a few minutes would help
other such things to be determined by the Gods of our fair Magic Duel
I am ambitious but there is a time when more you just donot need and
this may be one of those times
I feel that my abilities would only help others further in future with
these abilities
Thank You

.Morgana Le Fey.
The Keeper Of Keys
Truly a tale of passion, deception, and secrecy in the search for
knowledge and power.
Our story begins as all do with me, a young lass far from home in
a wilderness of amazing stories and beginnings. Here we follow me, one
of these interesting individuals along the complex journey to become
one of the legendary Role Playing Characters whose life and tales would
go on to influence the very world I come to live in.
In the beginning I was stuck all alone in a world far from
my own, brought here by the mere whim of a power beyond my own. Stuck
in a land to which I have no idea nor possibility of grasping all by
myself, I set out from this cabin I happened to be set in. Alas I saw
it would not let me leave, what magic is this that could possibly keep
me here, I wondered. Then looking around for the source of this magic I
happened upon a scroll on a desk that clearly, based upon the golden
writing upon it flashing at me, was magical in its own way.
Upon finding the scroll it told me what I must do in order
to get out of this treacherous paper cabin. Following the orders
written upon this scroll was easier than I could have imagined, it led
me to a new place different paths she tried but the scroll's magic was
far to great to allow me to wander from my path. I happened upon the
Armory where I found it to be inhabited by such wonderful things that
beckoned me to bind with. One such creature called itself the Aramor a
magical attacking beast that would protect me with all of its might and
prowess. Having stayed there long enough to recruit six of these
creatures I found the scroll compelling me to fight off any threats
along my way back to the cabin to which I first arrived.
What must I do, I said the whose new found power dazzled my
imaginations. The scroll replied not in words but in a vision of great
struggles to come. Stepping forth I encountered mysterious creatures
blocking my way, shades they called themselves and would not let me
pass. Using my new found creatures the Aramors I managed to beat them
back one after the other until something amazing happened. The shades
are combining and offering me a gift, a strange box to which I takes
even against my deepest seeded wishes, my thirst for power and
knowledge of this place pushed me on.
Alone in the darkness once more I struggles to find a way
out. What light shows through the darkness, that is what I has to find,
I tell myself. Looking around I find a little girl, Marind she calls
herself, sitting all alone in a corner with three candles lit around
her. Curiosity again grabs hold of me when that little girl shows a
mean and menacing look. Never backing down I press on toward a peace
with Marind and it seems that she can help me out of this treacherous
dark box that we are in. With Marind's help I escape with only bumps
and bruises into what a strange world of a carnival. Realizing what
Marind says is true I flee with her only footsteps ahead as the
carnival slowly disappears and with it I find myself in a city all
alone. With Marind gone I find the will to press on and find out what
exactly the little girl meant by what killed her.
Entering Marind Bell was probably not the best of ideas
once I found it inhabited by all sorts of people, some with creatures
not unlike the Aramors sworn to protect me and some with beasts from
places I cannot hope to find with out help. Seeking help she happens
upon a sanctuary where she hides among many people stronger and even
weaker than herself, asking all sorts of questions from what is that
creature, to how do I get one. Upon hearing their answers to those
questions they say they have heard many times over she finds herself
looking at new creatures with new abilities, eggs and archers and
strange large eggs that will not obey her and combine their power with
hers. These eggs tell her that she is not strong enough yet and must
persevere in order to master their power. Venturing out into the
gathering point for many battles and help she finds a group of people
around a man with seemingly unstoppable power and creatures no one has
even seen before.
This man came to be known as SmartAlekRJ the drachorn
master. Gathering around them all I found out that he was indeed a
person of much awe and inspiration. He announced himself as a Role
Playing Character for this land and if anyone needed his help only to
send a courier to him whilst he was away and he would inform them of
the greatness of him and his army. Upon hearing such words another with
similar following named Metal Bunny approached and corrected him saying
I am the best and most noble of RPC's in this world follow me and be
truly great as I am great and so are those who follow my way, the way
of the bunny lord.
Torn between two worlds most of the crowd were but each had
their followers and locked into a monumental battle of which I could
only watch in awe and fear. Seeing the following each had I wanted that
for myself and set out in the lands to get known and admired for all
that I would seek and know. Sending questions via couriers as they
requested I learned where such powerful creatures were hiding and some
of what I needed to do in order to get them for myself. Again knowing
what path I must go I found new courage to keep going even in the face
of greatness and power I knew I could attain. With each new puzzle I
came upon my knowledge of these lands brought me closer to the dark
skies of the place called Necrovion. Such a place I was told is where
those first monstrous beings I fought were from and that I should not
venture into there carelessly.
Even with my new found strength from my Aramor's growing
stronger and my eggs hatching into powerful elementals I still could
not get into those gates. My archers were the next to grow stronger
into beings referring to themselves as Dark Archers. Now with my
powerful strength I happened upon a land spoken of in truly great
words, the land of Loreroot. Guarded by very powerful beings of which I
knew couldn't be trees walking around I sought out the means to see
them properly and used that knowledge to enter into battle with them.
They were so powerful I didn't think I would ever beat them but I knew
I had to try.
I found that my strength was returning as I found shelter
at a strange place of which others spoke the name of Fenth's Press. A
place where you could sacrifice the powerful beings that protect you in
order to grow stronger and thus I did. My trusty Aramors had ascended
into their most powerful form, the assassin, but they left me wanting
more so I sacrificed them for the good of the others. Feeling this new
power I, myself ascended to a higher mental state known to others as
Mind Power Four. Upon entering this new stage of my existence I
realized that my creatures once again grew stronger and more powerful
with every fight but I found also that it was harder to call each fight
a victory. With every fight I found myself reaching higher levels of
knowledge about this place, this world called by one name. Magic Duel,
a place to which dreams and nightmares reigned supreme and where one
could live in complete harmony with his fellow man or woman or in
darkness vieing for a chance to destroy all that I have come to know as
good and pure.
All paths I found so far led me to that magical wilderness
called Loreroot and those guards once more I could see. This time I was
more prepared with the knowledge of how to defeat them I rose to the
challenge and took them both out in two monumental battles. I won was
shouted everywhere I went and to everyone I met. Crawling into Loreroot
now full of power again from the days rest I met with new creatures and
gained even more knowledge and power from them as I struggled through
times and trials to get them as powerful as I could. Mean while I had
found that my knowledge of the lands had taken an interest in people as
they started sending me couriers asking how to do certain things.
This evoked the watching of the gods themselves and upon
hearing of this they came to me. All on one evening alone I had been
recognized for my efforts and charity in helping others along from even
the depths of the underworld back into the light, and thus henceforth I
became known as Morgana Le Fey the keeper of keys and puzzles. My new
title came with great regard and a trust of knowledge and power amongst
all those followers of others. Soon I had my own powers to speak of and
was challenging any and all to my riddles to which knowledge was shared
and power for all those deemed worthy and mentally fit.
Among those were Metal Bunny appearing again with seemingly
unwavering faith in his abilities as Lord of the Bunnies, to which he
continually recruited and announced to all who would listen. Slowly and
surely I gained a following and friends along the way who helped me
over come obstacles I could never have hoped to cross by myself. MRD
and Renavoid among others became my close companions and later I heard
word that Renavoid had became the same as I, an RPC for all that would
need his help becoming the keeper of the archivists, an alliance of
Magic Duels finest minds set on writing and organizing the events and
logs of all things going on in this world.
With the finding out of these new alliances I happen upon
an alliance bent on following the shades way of life and dreams. This
alliance set out to become shades themselves with their leader
Khalazdad, a person to whom I have met with and shared ideas with. Now
watching closer this alliance of men and women I begin to decide to see
just what they are up to. Joining them in hopes to discover their
weakness seemed a smart thing to do at the time but the closer and
closer I get to the inner circle leads me to believe strange things
about Khalazdad, their leader. Every new member is watched closely and
must pledge fealty to him and him alone soon granting him godlike
status among some members. I also happened upon other alliances sworn
to protect other vast regions they call home, Marind bell had her own
alliance called The Seekers of Enlightenment and also Golemnus
Golecarium had its own as well called the Guerrilla Golecarium.
Loreroot was the last to reveal themselves to me with their alliance of
Loreroot Landguardians protected by a powerful creature known as the
Knator Commander to which my friend MRD had sworn allegiance to. Now
torn between friends Khal, Ren, and MRD it was very hard to choose a
side having joined the Necrovion Sentinels and pledged fealty to
Khalazdad. All was slowly becoming so clear for me though with every
passing day the Sentinels became more and more like a cult giving power
only to its leader Khal.
Now I was approached by the Seekers and asked to what side
do I belong and do I truly follow the ways of darkness and death. I
truly pondered their questions along with others that could not believe
that I would follow the darkness. Now it seemed I was so confused but
at last I found what to do. I would take it upon myself to make myself
the best spy for the light and truly not let Mariand down. She was
there for me when I needed her so I vowed to be there for the light in
the upcoming battle.
Now with my head on straight I proceeded to find out all I
could about this warmongering shade alliance and find out what they
were planning and hope to accomplish. To thwart them I made myself
believe and thwart them I will do. First it was hard at first to
convince Khal of where my loyalties lie as being approached by members
of the guilds and alliances of the light made him wonder along with
others that felt me to be untrustworthy. I knew I had to do something
drastic to make them change their mind and believe in me or their
secrets and plans they would withhold from me. Along came something I
had witnessed before but did not partake in and I found my way to make
them believe in me. A contest of brute strength called simply The Heads
Contest where the rules were simple enough and passed down from the
gods themselves. Get heads from your fellow warriors and maintain that
head count for points to be given in intervals. But my goal was not to
win but to keep Necrovia from winning so giving my heads away entailed
that I made it to the top but fell just short to the guilds of light.
Giving them the advantage of power from the gods they might be strong
enough to stop this army of shade allies.
Now armed with the power of the highest achievable Mind
Power level, Mind Power Five, and armed with an assortment of powerful
creatures at my command and also spells granted from the gods
themselves I decided it was time to sow my discord amongst them by
learning of all the spy's amongst the guild and dispersing the names
to all other guilds. Thus allowing them to keep information out of the
power hungry hands of Khal and his band of followers and strengthening
my position with those outlaws who follow him. This was not an easy
task spying on them but one worth it I assure you for the information I
found out led to the assassination party that will be sent to stop Khal
before he can ascend into a more powerful follower of the shades
themselves.
Spying was not only against Khal as to keep and maintain
his trust I also had to feed him correct information mixed with lies
and covered up truths. When it was all said and done I had not only
gained their trust but was promoted in that alliance to the rank of
Knight-Lieutenant giving me more access to their secrets and plans so
that I may share with their enemies. One such Enemy was Metal Bunny
himself hailing from the alliance of Golemnus and another being my
friend MRD still in that alliance himself. Helping my friends showed me
what true loyalty was about and I persisted even in the face of mortal
danger passed information from the alliance of the Sentinels to the
alliances of the light.
The Gazebo of Chaos was a focal point of many debates
amongst that alliance of power hungry men. They seemed to think that
the shades were some how linked to it and when someone joined the
alliance it would start to glow and crumble, other such theories were
that they might be able to posses a land weapon to use against Maraind
Bell and the other towns and colonies. This I could not allow even if
it were true, I promptly alerted all alliances to the cause and helped
each and everyone get a grasp of what Khal and his band of misfits were
up to all the while making it seem to them that I was spying on other
guilds trying to break them up and get them disbanded for lack of
loyalty to the cause they represent. Doing this I found that I had a
knack for spy operations and continued until one fateful day Khalazdad
found a way to increase his power albeit by entering the unimaginable
and corrupt House of Liquid Dust of which it is said to have killed the
last person who entered Jack Willow. He of which was said to be
invincible. Through much uncovering and questioning of what and who
Jack Willow was I found myself looking directly at his shop in the
center of Mariand Bell. He was king of Mariand Bell after the former
Leader Gabriel Wind died.
This led me to delve deeper into the history as maybe I
could uncover what happened to my savior Mariand herself. Along the way
I uncovered many great secrets and left the beaten alliance of the
Sentinels and joined the Seekers in their search for knowledge of the
lands before and what had happened to them. I found out that Gabriel
Wind was the first king of Mariand Bell and was in love with Marind and
had a powerful ally Daniel Raven. Then something terrible and Daniel
Raven was suspected of killing or kidnapping Marind Bell by Gabriel and
thus the alliance was shattered into ruins and split into two factions
Loreroot and Marind Bell. The Angiens had parts to play in this past as
they helped fight against the shades who sought out war and was to be
believed by most the reason why Marind disappeared. These powerful
figures said to have once pulled Magic Duel, our great land from a box
fought against the shades and with the help of this alliance between
Gabriel and Daniel beat the shades back into Necrovion. About Necrovion
it was once called sages field and death marrow is the same as liquid
dust. With all this knowledge the way was clearer still fight along
side the ever elusive angiens and keep the daylight shining rather than
fight with the shades and hope that darkness would once again reign.
Now having left the alliance I spied upon and joining the
Seekers it allowed me to further my quest for what really happened to
Marind and solve this conflict between the now known lands of Loreroot
and the lands of Mariand Bell. This alliance was probably the turning
point in the war of old and will be the turning point along with
Golemus helping us we will be sure to battle the shades who have taken
Khal once again deeper into the reigns of their power. Having allowed
entrance into the house of liquid dust, the power of death marrow
filling his every fiber making him not only more powerful but more
under their control.
Now with the help of all I continued to keep him in my
watchful eye and set up spies of my own in his guild to keep me and all
those against him informed of his every move. Through out this time my
friends and allies have been gathering their forces to get ready for a
battle with the shades themselves. Among them include the MR's an
elite group of followers of MRD one of my most trusted allies and one I
have complete faith in. I help out them in anyway I can and share my
knowledge of everything with them. They have also helped me out by
finding things even the great me cannot hope to get. Now branding Khal
a traitor and showing all in that guild that he only wishes power for
himself caused a breakdown in order and many troops to come out from
under his spell thus weakening his grasp even further. Through all of
this Khal has still found a way to lure those followers he needs to
sacrifice into his awaiting grasp.
Find out more next time as my log will always be updated with new
adventures of yours truly.

Also Due to this new Movement of the Sun, it seems my Theories on The
Sun that Never Sets, are inadequate. Until I am able to resolve this
Issue, I am forced to stop all research on Astrology and Focus all that
I have on this New Development.
-----------------------------------
I have Created a little Narrative so that you may Understand Who I
am... Read the Story Here
Check my Quest Log every so Often, I may not always Have Quests with
Rewards, but that is where I Post more Details about my Research.
I Like researching Many things About Magic Duel, trying to come up with
Ideas about how things relate. I also conduct many Research Projects
about topics Related to The Universe Around Us. Here is a List of
things I've investigated, or am Working On.
- The Sun that Never Sets (Research is Finished, Check the Forums for
the Results) - Needs Revision due to New
Information
- Astrology (See my "Hate List", I am almost Ready to Begin the
Practice now that the Theory is almost Complete)
- Celestial Navigation (I am Researching the Various ways the Ancients
Used the Stars for Directions)
Quests
Guidlines for Quests:
ALWAYS follow the Directions.
ALWAYS Read the Entire Quest.
If it is Clear that you have not done these two things Your Answer will
be Deleted and not Responded to.
The Puzzles here are for my Spell Document. They
will Change every so Often.
There is no Reward for Solving multiple Puzzles in this Section other
than a Sense of Accomplishment :)
The Cube - This Puzzle will End on Nov 24th, when a New Puzzle will
take it's Place
Which of the Five Symbols appears Twice on the Cube?
Answers should Show me How all the Symbols Appear on the Cube. This
means both What Symbols Appear on Each Face of the Cub, and Their
Orientation. I suggest Using a Picture like the one's I've, but I've
provided some Ideas Below.
Since many People seem Confused on how to give me the Views, here is a
Suggestion. Describe Each view in Words. Base the Orientations off the
Symbols given in the Image.
Example: Describes View #1
On Top: Symbol 3 w/ Bottom Touching rightmost (Visible) Side.
On Left: Symbol 2 w/ Bottom Touching the rightmost (Visible) Side.
On Right: Symbol 1 w/ Bottom Touching the Bottom (Non-Visible) Side.
You could also Lay out the Symbols like you would Fold them up for the
Cube. But give the Orientations.
Example:
..1 .. ...................... Normal
2 3 4 .... Top to the Left : Upside Down : Bottom to the Right
.. 3 .. ................ Clockwise (CW) 90 degrees
.. 2 .. .................... CW 270 degrees

Ever since Ancient Times people have Gazed up at the Stars and Wondered
what Meaning they Held. To the Ancients the Night Sky Looked like a
Dome covering the Earth, they had No Knowledge of the Vast Distances
Separating Us and the Stars. To them the Sky was just Above the Clouds
and so it Had an Effect and Meaning in Everyday Life.
Thus Astrology was Born. In fact Astronomy was Once only Studied in the
Pursuit of Astrology, it was only after the Creation of the Scientific
Method that Astronomy and Astrology took Differing Paths.
In Short Astrology Looks for how the Patterns of the Celestial Bodies
(the Sun, Moon, and Planets) and Stars could Affect Life on the Ground.
The basic Tenant of Astrology is, "As Above, so Below" meaning the
Events in the Sky have Deep meaning to our Everyday Lives.
What Dictates a Celestial Body? Well the Stars themselves are So far
Away that they Appear to Never Move. In fact the Stars look the Same
now as they Did many Thousands of Years ago, but Eventually they will
Move just Not in any sort of Human Time Scale. Things like the Planets
and Moon appear in Different Areas of the Sky from Night to Night. In
fact the Word "Planet" comes from the Greek word for "Wanderer."
Of course In this Realm things work a Little Differently seeing as How
the Sun Never Sets, However the Principle is the Same. In Relation to
the Background of Stars and Constellations The Sun (and "Moon") still
Wander,
Astrology - Planets
I have Discovered that there are a Total of 5 Planets Visible in our
Sky. After much Searching I have Also Discovered their Names. They are
Rashnu, Asherat, Eksher, Tenga, and Dwopi. I have Prepared Brief
descriptions of the Meanings of these Names, and thus the Meanings of
the Planets. I also Included how they Relate to I-Ching and Tarot, this
is because All forms of Divination are Connected, you just have to Know
Where to Look.
Rashnu

he can be very Traditional and Stubborn. Rashnu Brings the Spiritual

A Goddess of the Sea. She is the Consort to Variouse other Gods, which
is why she Represents the Temptations of Humans. Though these

words Asherat relates to are, Joy, Openness, Satisfaction, and Excess.

Meditation, Tranquility, and Meditation.

Attention to Herself. Not Much Brighter than most Stars.

General, she doesn't just relate to Love between a Man and a Woman,
but more to the Idea of Soul mates. Mida represents Finding a Person,
or a Thing, that seems to be a Part of who you are. Often though Mida
means a Choice as well. Think of how a Parent may Choose to do

was Driven by Love not by Reason. That is the Power of Love that Mida
represents.

A Person born under Mida is Energetic and Sociable. They Love meeting

Founded on. Though it is often Hard to tell if he has Created that
Foundation or if he Just revealed the Foundation that Already Existed.

The Goddess of Magic, she Protects all Sorcerers (And Sorceresses). I
like to think of her as the Master Cook, because I see creating Magic a

Oddly those Born under Kenjo tend to be Rebellious, they often Find
themselves at Odds with Established Traditions. This can be Positive as
long as the Rebellion comes from a Desire to actually make things
better. Unfortunately many Rebel without knowing why, or without much
Reason.

NOT A QUEST FOR SOMETHING ELSE TY
Military Ways and Beliefs This player doesn't have this page. Protector Statement This player doesn't have this page.
In beginning there was nothing except chaos
and confusion that only Raven was witnessed. But there came time when
the fight between good and evil, light and dark has stopped and decided
to make new world in which both could live. World of magic and wonders
and as none of sides could decide how to create it they gave a small
bag to Raven, a bag of powers.
As Raven flew through darkness and light he was getting tired but there
was no place to rest there was only water to be seen miles around. So
while he flew, he removed a rock from his bag and threw it into the
sea. This rock became the first land. He sat down upon this land to
rest, while resting he took other rocks from his sack and threw them
into the water. Thus Raven made the land.
Rested, Raven continued his way to create the world. After long time he
got tired again so he decided to rest on land he created before. And as
he was resting he removed fir, willow, the pine, the spruce and all the
trees of the world. He also removed the huckleberry bush, the wild
strawberry, the grass and all of the plants of the world, including the
plants of the sea. These things he scattered across the land and the
water, so that they may grow.
Again Raven took his pouch around his neck and flew through the
darkness. And again The Raven became tired so that he sat upon a rock.
This time he removed all the animals of the world. The wolf, the eagle,
the salmon, the bear, the dear, and all the animals of land and sea.
Raven looked around him at the world he had made, it was a good world,
and every one was peaceful and happy. But before he flew off he looked
into his pouch and saw that there was one thing left. So he removed man
from the bag and placed him upon the earth.
Raven enjoyed peace and happiness but he realized that he is missing
old world, world of chaos and confusion. So he flew over land and
transformed himself in human form to bring confusion and chaos upon
world that he created. But he also decided to bless some of people and
help them.
And so Raven became good and evil, light and dark, he became
Illusionist.
As Raven was making confusion and blessing to some others he realized
that by doing goals that he have set himself world won’t change. That
made him think about all humans that have similar goal and decide to
join one of them.
With this decision he sent two of his messengers Huginn (Thoughtful)
and Muninn (Mindful) to seek those that are worthy and have good idea
and will to accomplish their goal.
While the two messengers were away, Raven proclaimed himself as
Hrafna-Gud, the God of the Ravens and established his dominion in
Raven’s Peace.
Giving warning to all saying:
A place where Raven is at rest.
To not disturb him would be best.
The messengers have returned bringing words about Loreroot alliance
describing them as faithful guardians of Loreroot that are peaceful but
yet to be feared in fight. Hrafna-Gud realized that he has made his
territory in Raven’s Peace that’s part of Loreroot and Loreroot
alliance. Raven sent his two messengers immediately to NelyaSetesh
asking her to acknowledge his place in Loreroot and also in Loreroot
alliance…
As Huginn and Muninn were nowhere to be seen after Raven sent them on
their tasks he got worried because of their disappearing.
Huginn and Muninn, every day
They fly over earthground.
I fear for Huginn,
that he may not return.
But even more, I fear
for the loss of Muninn.
Next day the two messengers returned unharmed but frightened from
enemies that tried to stop them… But they were bringing good news from
leader of Loreroot alliance. NelyaSetesh has approved his dominion in
Raven’s Peace and also accepted him in ranks of Loreroot alliance.
…
In the Shadow of the Raven
Once there was just darkness, shade on shadow, black on black.
Legend tells us, Raven came and waved the darkness back.
Provider and protector, integral to death and birth,
A paradox in midnight black who brought the light to Earth.
In the Shadow of the Raven we all stand:
More than comrades.
More than brothers.
We are Clan.
The Raven is a trickster and a scoundrel, but take care.
His eye is always watching, always winking, always there.
He spreads his wings and gathers us into his dark embrace:
The poets and philosophers; the bold who seek his face.
In the Shadow of the Raven we all rise:
More than seekers.
More than scholars.
We are wise.
The Raven calls to those who love the dark, yet seek the light.
The more our curiosity, the greater his delight.
He knows our deepest sadness, yet he shares laughter too,
And if things get upset, he understands – its what we do.
In the Shadow of the Raven we all soar:
We are power.
We are brilliance.
We are more.
Raven symbolizes the void - the mystery of that which is not yet
formed. Ravens are symbolic of the Black Hole in Space, which draws in
all energy toward itself and releases it in new forms. The iridescent
blue and green that can be seen in the glossy black feathers of the
raven represents the constant change of forms and shapes that emerge
from the vast blackness of the void.
Raven is a contrary spirit. On the negative side, Raven represents the
profane, the devil, evil spirits, the trickster and thief, war and
destruction, death and doom, the void.
Yet in Raven also represents deep magic, the mystery of the unknown,
death and transformation, creation, healing, wisdom, protection, and
prophecy.
Raven is both the symbol of the sun, and the symbol of a moonless
night. He is the birth giving light in the center of our galaxy, and
the black hole in the center of the universe, to which we are all
traveling to our eventual extinction. ____________________________________________________________________
If things appear to be going well, you have overlooked
something.

List
This player doesn't have this page. Military Ways and Beliefs
1. Why are there so many bugs and why is so much missing?
Magicduel is still in alpha testing, although it`s open to the public.
Many features and central concepts of magicduel such as the fighting
system, alliances and magic still have to be implemented or tested
thoroughly. In fact, all of the players are test subjects and are
encouraged to report any bugs they experience in the forums. Those who
have been playing the longest or are the most advanced are privileged
when it comes to testing new things. It is up to you whether or not you
want to participate in this phase of the game development, but those
who do are shaping what the game will be when it`s completed and enters
officialdom.
2. How long has magicduel been in development?
Work on magicduel began in 2005. In 2007, it became public so that
players could sign up and play immediately. This is a unique position,
as most games stay in closed testing while in alpha. You can think of
magicduel as a game that will be in perpetual alpha.. there are always
new things, including big and unthought of concepts, being added or
tested.
3. Who can I ask for help when I`m confused?
Many players will be willing to help if asked, and it won`t hurt to
try. Also, there is a Live Help button on the right side of the
interface that appears whenever at least one moderator is online.
Finally, as of 06/29/08, I was named officially qualified to help
newbies (as shown by the asterisks), so you can always resort to me.
But you must know that I am far less capable and experienced in terms
of ritual-creating and tactics in comparison to others, I shall not
give spoilers and I can only answer when I am online. ;)
4. I don`t see icons on the left sidebar like I`m supposed to,
such as the scroll and map.
Sometimes you need to clear cache and refresh. If that doesn`t work,
try logging out and back in. Finally, you may not have picked them up
like you were supposed to ;) Reread the scroll and if you need
clarification, pm me.
5. What do I need to do to defeat the shades?
At this point, there isn`t much strategy. The shades will only do
normal attack, so you just need brute strength. If all your creatures
are healed, you have max VE and you use a full-VE rit with all your
creatures and still get defeaten, you just need more creatures. Try
again when you`ve regenerated. This also applies to the Willow Shop
guards, when you encounter them. (Hint: you can get more than one for
each kind of creature.)
6. How do I regenerate?
If you look to the right, there should be a counter which shows some
numbers (xx:xx). Those are min:sec until the next regeneration occurs,
giving you 500 vital energy, 240 value points (? unconfirmed), 25
action points and 10 exploring points (? unconfirmed) each time. Each
regeneration is 10 minutes from the last.
7. Even though the regeneration counter finished, or I got some
VE/VP from sacrificing, nothing has changed!
First off, after a bit of time, the regen counter can lag. You may need
to refresh to accurately gauge when the next regeneration is. Also, the
stats don`t update until the little golden circle under your bars of
stats has a bar at the top, or where the hands would be on a clock if
it was 12 o`clock. For max VE and VP, you may need to clear cache and
refresh, then log out and back in.
8. How do I heal my creatures?
If you`ve already recruited creatures, you should see a dragon icon
(looks more like a pile of sludge to me, but others tell me it`s a
dragon) on the left sidebar. If you don`t, refer to #4. If you do,
click on that icon. It will bring you to a page with pictures of your
creatures with orange bars below them if wounded. Click on the orange
bars to give a percentage of your VE.
9. How do I level my creatures?
Click on the dragon icon on the left sidebar, and then the picture of
the creature you want information about. It will bring you to a
description of the creature, show its abilities in fights and reveal
the requirements to upgrade to the next level. When you have met almost
all the requirements, there will be a gray ring around the picture of
the creature (in the page you`re brought to by clicking the dragon). If
you have met all, there will be an orange ring, and when the
creature-icon is clicked, the creature description page should have a
button for upgrading it (and renaming, if the creature is in its high
levels). When the creature is maxed, it will have a permanent gold ring
around it.
10. How do I get age?
You don`t need to do anything for age. Age increases 1 unit per 24
hours from the time of recruitment, regardless of online or offline
status. Some creatures will have high age requirements to upgrade, and
therefore some better creatures may be restricted to older players.
11. What is the story for?
Different choices in the story will give different stat bonuses and
quests which will affect gameplay. After players reach certain criteria
of experience and won fights, they can reset the story to play it a
different way and gain another mindpoint, enabling the selection of
another principle. There are several different routes in the story, and
players are encouraged to choose different options each time to gain
the most diverse gaming experience as possible. It is the story behind
all of the concepts and the map of magicduel, and there will be
story-related features such as access to another land and quests in the
future.
12. What are principles for?
Principles will be used for magic, which is supposed to be implemented
in the next alpha stage. You can only have as many principles as your
mindpower level. It`s up to you to decide which ones you like best and
will fit your playerstyle. You can increase principles through story
(until you reach 200) and sacrificing.
13. Why can`t my creatures get anymore exp or won fights all of a
sudden?
You`ve probably hit the exp cap for your mindpower level, or if you`re
in mp3, gotten 100 won fights. These are the requirements to advance to
the next mindpower level. The reason why there are caps is to stop
players from staying in one mindpower level to grow stronger by picking
on the weaker players there, and encourage them to advance to the next
one.
14. What do I do now that I`m in free roam?
Explore! You may find some interesting things, including quests and
puzzles. You should continue the story whenever you can and train your
creatures by attacking other players.
15. Where do you find creatures, sanctuaries, shops and sacrifice
altars?
All of these can be found scattered around the different lands. Keep on
exploring and if you see something curious (like a door or strange
figure) move your cursor over it. If part of the thing or all of it
glows golden, it means you can interact with the thing, whatever it is.
Click and find out. If you have trouble finding any of the
above mentioned, you may ask another player who would be willing to
give directions.
16. How does armor affect me?
Armor raises different skills and stats, as can be seen when you click
details in the armor page. These skills can be distributed among your
monsters when you fight (see #17).
17. What are skills used for?
Your skills are distributed among your creatures when fighting, along
with your vitality depending on how strong the vitality bond is set in
a ritual; the greater the bond, the more % gets distributed. Different
skills influence your creatures in different ways; i.e. attack raises
damaged and defense lowers damage done to your creatures. Other skills
are used outside of battle, such as briskness and luck. There is a list
of skills and their effects you can access by going to your profile
page > [more info].
18. Is it possible to have negative stats/skills?
Sometimes a choice in the story will give you negative stats bonuses,
and if you lose more than you have, your stats will become negative.
Don`t be discouraged because you are bound to make choices that will
give you positive bonuses and you can always gain stats other ways,
such as sacrificing creatures. Players who stick to a single route
which always gives them positives bonuses in the story will miss out.
19. How do you attack another player?
This option is only available after tutorial mode, in free roam. Click
on a playername in your mindpower in the player list and then on the
button that says ``Attack this player for ___ honor.`` You can only
attack people in your mindpower level. You can tell what mp level a
person is in by the yellow symbol by their name; a whole yellow cross
is mp3, a black dot in the middle of a cross is mp4, and a single black
dot under a yellow dot is mp5. Only the orange playernames can be
fought; black means the player has moved to another area, and gray
means that the player is offline.
20. What do you gain from fights?
Based on the damage done, you gain experience and skill rewards, as
well as value points. Experience is distributed equally among all the
surviving creatures, and is needed to level them up. Also, each
creature that survives gets a ``won fight,`` also a requirement to
level them up. Finally, your win count is raised if you get a
``VICTORIOUS`` and your loss fight is raised if you get ``DEFEATED.``
The determination of the results of the fights is based on the damage
done to each side in percentage of VE damage, and requirements that
seem to change from time to time. Under your balance counter, there is
a link name ``Ballancing fights`` which explains in further detail. It
is important to keep the ratio of wins and losses balanced (more info
below). You also gain or lose honor.
21. What is heat?
Heat acts as a combat reward multiplier (copied from somewhere) for exp
and skill gain. Max usable heat is 4000 which gives a 1-3 times bonus.
It is obtained through walking around (based on briskness skill),
sacrificing/recruiting creatures, buying equipment and attacked or
being attacked (based on damage done to enemy). It decreases at a rate
of 1 point per second. Heat can be stored in the small orbs above the
counter, by clicking the counter. When you click the counter you will
store 1000 heat, if you have it, and the rest will be lost. If you have
2k heat then two orbs will be filled etc. You can retrieve the heat by
clicking the orbs one by one. More orbs can be bought in the MD Shop.
22. What is honor?
Basicaly, high honor means player has a attacked stronger players and
won, so he is more powerfull (maybe not in that moment however)
low honor means player has attacked weaker players that have a greater
loss count then him.
Someone with low honor doesn't mean he is weak , it means only that he
is usualy attacking weak players.
The more you win the more honor points other players will get when
defeating you, so be carefull you will become a target.
23. What is honor used for?
Honor at the moment is used to buy items in the MD shop, and later it
will be ``used to activate certain areas, items, features, quests.`` If
you get -500 honor, you will not get any combat reward until you are
balanced again. To make rebalancing easier, at such a point you will
not get negative honor for attacking others.
24. What are value points?
Value points are used to buy equipment in stores scattered across the
lands, and it is also needed to enlist creatures or level them up. Max
vp is raised through story bonuses and creature sacrifices. You can get
temporary vp by winning against others (based on damage done), randomly
when roaming around (based on luck stat) and sacrificing creatures
again. Any temporary vp over the the amount of max vp vanishes when the
regeneration counter finishes.
25. Why don`t my rituals work correctly?
You can make a ritual have priority (meaning it will be used when
attacked) by checking the defensive option during creation. Among
multiple rituals which are defensive (or multiple rituals, none being
defensive) the most recently-made ritual (last one on the list) will be
selected. Rituals will be broken when defeated regardless of whether it
was used to attack or defend. If a ritual has less than 301 VE before
VE bond and combos, a random one will be used instead.
26. What are combos?
If you use one ritual successfully and win several times with it, the
combo count for it raises. Each combo gives a little bit of extra
vitality for your creatures when you fight with the ritual.. Manu says
that if the combo count is high enough, you can use that ritual for
regeneration.
27. What is integrity?
Integrity is how many creatures you have in a ritual, and after you use
it once it shows how many creatures survived the last fight it was in.
28. Why is it good to have a balance of wins and losses?
You get a bonus. If you have less than a 20 fight difference between
the two counts, then you can get up to 200% bonus in exp; the more
balanced, the greater the reward. There is also a bonus for skill
reward from battle, and it is half the % bonus in exp.
29. What is idle mode?
If you are inactive for 15 minutes, you automatically go into idle
mode, which helps server traffic. You can still be attacked in idle
mode, and even If you close the browser in idle mode, you can still be
attacked by others and counted as online; the only way to make it
impossible for others to attack you is to go offline or in a
sanctuary.. In idle mode, notification sounds stop.
30. People always attack me and I lose VE before I can fight, and
when I do, I always lose.
You can be safe from attacks offline or in a sanctuary. Try blitzkrieg
attacks on those with low VE and others weaker than you, before going
into hiding again to regenerate. Eventually, when you train your
creatures enough, you will be able to rely on strategy more and defeat
players who are older and more experienced with specific counter
rituals.
31. What is a head contest?
Head contests come every so often. Generally players get a head on a
regular basis, and they attack each other for these heads. If the
player wins, he gains the heads another player has. The longer and in
greater quantity heads are kept increases points which are calculated
to announce the winners. There are winners of every mp level and they
get a prize. Head contest rules change each time, though.
32. What is the mechanical thing in Beserker`s Way and how do I
fight Loreroot guards?
If you`re told to find a clue, go back to all the places you`ve learned
about magicduel before which might hold useful information, and look
for something new. Once you`ve found something new, see if you can
apply it to something you`re trying to do.
33. How do I solve the Berserker Way puzzle?
The most important thing to do is grab a pencil and paper (or if you`re
savvy, open up a word document or other program) and start recording
patterns like you would for any puzzle. Although it may appear to be
random, it really isn`t. Once you find patterns, try to manipulate them
to fulfill your objective. If you have solved it but don`t know what to
do now, reread the message and try to look for something new as you
travel.
34. What is the weird floor in the Broken Pattern Gazeebo?
That was a puzzle some were able to solve during a contest which was
finished quite some while ago for prizes like a Drachorn or extra
vp/vit. The aim was to make all the pieces golden. However, part of the
purpose of the puzzle was to evaluate how hard it was and the different
ways people are likely to use to solve it; a similar puzzle will be
implemented in the game later, so it`s not a bad idea to try it out
yourself. Once again, use a pencil or paper (or word document) and
begin recording patterns.
35. What is the best way to defeat npcs like the Loreroot guards
or advanced players?
Well, you might have to train up a couple of creatures on weaker
players or people who just drained all of their vitality fighting
someone else. In the meanwhile, you can examine fight logs to see which
creatures do the most damage, the effects of creature skills such as
weaken damage and regenerate, ect. to figure out the most effective
rituals against other types of creatures. Try it out on the npc you
have trouble defeating (if you have trouble) and if it doesn`t work,
try different things and continue looking at fight logs. If nothing
works, train your creatures and try to get some more stats. Don`t give
up! And make sure you put that extra value points you gain from
defeating npcs to use.
36. What is the Knator Commander?
The Knator Commander is a kind of ``hybrid character,`` somewhat like
an npc (non-player character, i.e. shades in tutorial) but also like an
actual player. You can only attack him when he`s online, and he can
also attack you without warning if you`re in his range. He has a
special skill called ``skilldamage`` which will give you permanent
skill loss if you lose, so beware. He is in the hidden exit of Loreroot.
37. What is the adventure log for?
Characters in the adventure log are real players who are sent on a
quest; their actions and support from players (in the form of
suggestions in support forum topics) do affect gameplay. One example is
Wodin Ullr, who has a reward for players who are able to find the best
rituals for defeating his rituals which change day to day. There are
several other ``rpcs,`` or role-playing characters, related to the
adventure who give interesting quests and awards prizes to those who
can finish them.
38. What can I do to become a rpc?
Make your personality stand out, and be bold. Two important factors:
your playername and avatar. You may get an avatar in the Premium
Features section of the MD Shop, with free credits (from winning
contests, doing rpcs` quests and the links accessed by [Free Credits],
the rightmost link at the top of the page) if need be. Whatever role
you want to play, you must seem fit to be.
39. What can I do to become part of the LHO team?
We are constantly looking for more help, as newbies are often confused
by the unique concepts in magicduel. There are many newbies in need of
help in No Man`s Land, around the Paper Cabin. Help them often and you
will be noticed. It is important to have a good understanding of the
game, and it`s a plus if you know other languages.
40. What can I do to become an artist, writer, translator or
something else for magicduel?
You may offer your skills in the ``Get involved`` section in the forum.
Whether you will be accepted or not depends on the circumstances and
the final decision will be left to Manu. Nonetheless, you should feel
good about offering to help a growing game succeed.
Comments on Self “My
name is NelySetesh and I am a nymph of Loreroot. For you to
understand my story first you will need to know about my people.” The
beautiful Nymph looked toward her loyal bard and said, “BlackThorn.
Will you play your lute while I tell my tale?” She smiled and all those
that had gathered to hear her fell deeply under her spell. “It would be
a great pleasure, my Lady.” The bard began to play as Nelya began her
story.
Nymphs are the female deities of nature and posses rare beauty. They
are generally considered to be the daughters of Lorian Deus and of the
Master of the inside sea. My people live throughout Loreroot’s
woodlands and rivers, but can also be found in mountains and caves.
We live one with nature caring for all living things by helping them
grow. Some have been known to protect and even love men who serve the
Root. From our union with mortal men, we have birthed heroes or
demigods into the world. We are able healers curing humans and even
spirits who are in need. We live for thousands of years and when we are
together, we sing ancient songs to the trees and waters of our home.
There exist many different kinds of nymphs. We are known according to
the natural environment where we live. Ther are the Epigys, or earth
Nymphs who love the deep places within the earth. Orodemniades love
stones, moutains, and caves. The valley Nymphs are called Napys and the
Ephydryades live in rivers and lakes. I am Alseydes, a wood nymph for I
love and serve my forest home. Beware when you enter it, for we will
allow no harm to any of it. There is another kind of nymph that you
will no longer find here in Loreroot; the Lampades are fire Nymphs.
Long ago they lived here one with nature, but no more.
In the beginning all the nymphs lived in peace. We were carefree,
enjoying our beautiful home. We ruled with harmony all the creatures of
the wildwood. Nymphs cared little for their differences and shared
their gifts with each other. Only the Lampades lived apart from the
rest of us. They did not like other nymphs for they felt superior. They
formed a closed society, isolating themselves in a remote part of the
forest.
However harmony remained among us for nearly a millennium. But during
this time, we grew apart. In secret the Lampade Nymphs developed their
powers and increased their knowledge. They had discovered an ancient
parchment which told of their connection to the elder gods of fire. The
elder gods were no longer remembered or served because of their chaotic
and often cruel nature. They learned from the parchment how to worship
these ancient deities. Those most fervent in their worship began to
feel power growing within them. It is from this power they began to
develop destructive magic harnessing the element of fire.
Not all the Lampades would worship the elder gods, nor sought a way to
control the other nymphs. There arose among them a new order led by the
exalted Lampade Aylen. All those refusing to follow her, were killed.
Indeed Aylen had terrible powers and decided to use them to bring back
the elder gods. The worship of these cruel beings would bring an order
of chaos, a jungle law. The Lampade Zealots, led by Aylen, attacked the
other nymphs. War came to loreroot, with it the deaths of its people
and the destruction of its lands. The other nymphs were unprepared by
such an attack. All their magic was used to create and protect. Aylen
and the Lampade Zealots quickly conquered almost all of the wilderness.
Only a few pockets of resistance remained. A scant group of nymphs took
refuge in a hidden cave near a small but exceedingly beautiful
waterfall deep in the heartland of Loreroot forest. Only a handful knew
of the existence of this place. According to legend, when the green
sun's rays are reflected in the waterfall, a magical portal leading to
a mystical vale appears. Loreroot is a land shrouded in mysteries and
steeped in the cryptic and arcane. Those nymphs that knew of this
gateway were part of a mystic society, a secret order of Lorian medusas
who served the Root.
They had taken refuge in places withdrawn or caves. But a small group
of nymphs took refuge in a cave near a small waterfall in the middle of
the Loreroot forest. Few people knew about this place. According to
legend, when the green sun's rays are reflected in the waterfall of
this place, a portal to a legendary place appears. These nymphs were
part of a secret order: ancient lorerootian medusas. Nymphs, including
Lampade thought until now that this secret order was a legend but the
reality was completely different...
The history of this secret order is only known by a handful of its
members, and only the most prominent know how the order was really
founded. Indeed it exists for over 20 centuries, moving in the greatest
secrecy. It was founded by Arian Oak, an ancient Alseydes nymph who
lived at that time and disappeared over night without trace. The only
remember that it lasted until our time is the legend of Oak and the
myth of magical portal near a waterfall where it is said we have seen
her before she is away. The mystery of his disappearance was never
solved and was forgotten in the maze of time. Arian Oak was the high
priestess of Root. At this time there was a cult dedicated to the Root
called Rootian. This was to worship the principle of believing in a
higher entity called Root. This entity was the lifeblood of Loreroot,
feeding with its strength the forest and all individuals living within,
a kind of protector of all life in Loreroot. By its nature, Root is
connected by a psychic link to all other life forms. An exchange of
vital flows would take place between the Root and other entities even
if most did not even aware. This cult did little followers; most do not
like the idea that a superior force could influence their lives. For
this reason, Rootian cult no longer exists, for lack of followers it
was forgotten with time. However a major event happens at that time
among the Rootian: their high priestess Oak Arian disappeared and
during the following days, most exalted of Rootian too.
In fact, during one of her long meditations, Arian Oak success to get
in touch with Root entity. During this exchange, she saw a beautiful
isolated area in the middle of Loreroot near a small waterfall. Then,
she had the revelation of the existence of a magical passage leading to
an ancient unknown city, an underground city where all the energy of
the Root seems to be concentrated and distributed from this central
point. The Arian’s vision stopped suddenly vanishes. For several days,
she did not stop thinking about what she had seen and wondered why Root
had decided to show him that. Was she prepared to cross the portal? She
did not know what awaiting her behind it, the vision was so short she
has not really time to realize what was happening in this sacred place.
The following day, she tried to communicate again with the Root but no
response... Also she took the decision to go alone to search the place
she saw in her thoughts. She chose not to warn other members to not
worship them face danger if something goes wrong...
The only clue she had to find the place she had seen in her thoughts
was her flash. She knew it would be very difficult, perhaps impossible
to find this place. Despite this, she began to search. Arian Oak was
often used to walk in the forest during her long meditations and
therefore knew a large part. However, she had never seen a place as she
saw in her vision. She explored several days in various parts of the
forest and in particular the vicinity but can not find anything. She
had to resign itself to explore the most dense, but also the most
dangerous, part of Loreroot. This part was in the heart of Loreroot but
few creatures dared to explore it. Many rumors exist on this part of
the forest that spread between RavenHold and Defensive Quarters and
extending to the west, most terrifying, evoking gigantic creatures or
curses. This does not stop Arian: she entered with some apprehension in
this isolated part of the forest.
During several days she wandered into the forest completely lost. She
started to say herself she will never find this place and die here ...
A bout of strength, she collapsed and fainted. Then her spirit awoke in
a dream. Her fatigue, hunger, everything had disappeared. She had the
impression of floating in a bubble but could not move. Myriads of
bright lights were all around her like stars in the sky. “Where am I ?”
wondered she... Suddenly she heard a voice whispering her name, a deep
and powerful voice. She was unable to hear what it said, but the sound
seems to be repeating itself. It now became increasingly strong, then
deafening. “Wake up now Arian oak!” yelled the voice. She suddenly wake
up, completely disoriented. She was lying near a pond with a small
waterfall overlooking it ... it was the place she saw in her vision.
Although she does not know how she landed here, she was finally arrived
at their destination. Everything seemed calm around her, even too
quiet. While she was in a forest dark and oppressive, an entirely
different atmosphere reigned here: quiet, calm, light ... a very
strange place. So she did few steps back…she quickly understood why
there was such an atmosphere here: she found herself again in the dark
and humid forest... She raised her hand in front of her and it
disappeared... a kind of magical barrier was around the quiet place to
hide it and making it invisible through an illusion. She cross again
the barrier ... a strange sensation ran her body, as she was through a
wall liquid ... she knew now that it is impossible to find this place
without knowing its exact location...
Now she was in the place of her vision, now she should find a way to
open the passage that leads to the underground city which was revealed.
The problem is that she had absolutely no idea how to do it... After
fully explored the area in search of clues, she decided to meditate
again, it seemed obvious that the answer was here; under her eyes and
that her faith would show her the way. During several hours Arian
concentrated her mind by focusing it on one point trying to capture the
energy of nature revolving around her. She felt also a new power
flowing through her veins coming from both everywhere and nowhere. An
aura around her body appears now; green efflux was escaping from every
cell of her body. These green effluxes grew up to create a sort of mini
green tornado all around her. Her eyes became bright as gold. An
intense green light shone, it was the sunlight, crossing the efflux,
was becoming green. Then a very brilliant door appears in the middle of
the waterfall, splitting water in two flows. Arian, always in a kind of
trance, got up and headed for the door without even remarked she was
walking on water. Then she crossed the door light and suddenly all
disappeared....
We are fifty years before the Nymphs war. A cry sounds, it was a baby
nymph, an Alseyde, a beautiful nymph of the woods. She was lying there
on a round marble stele on which was engraved a pentagon. Around it
stand five sacred Lorerootian medusas holding hands. Each of them was
at a summit of the pentagon. A green light had just disappeared ... One
of them, with a green velvet dress, which appeared to be the leader of
the other nymphs took the baby in her arms and said: "My sisters, this
is our last hope", watching the baby nymph, "Your destiny is already
sealed my sister, I am deeply sorry, I hope you will be strong enough
to accomplish it... Your name will now be NelyaSetesh... "

-----Quest I : The Maker of Dreams ----
----- Part I : Ancient Magical Scroll ----
You walk into the Loreroot forest, ready to fight with all savages
creatures you encounter. A mist appears slowly around you, and soon you
can’t see anything beyond one or two meters. You stay calm, after long
minutes walking in this strange mist, you find ruins of an ancient
shrine. You don't know what there are but you decide to enter. Inside,
you follow a narrow corridor, and arrive in a very large room. In front
of you a nymph. You can feel a strange magical aura emanating from her.
You put your hand on the handle of your sword, a loud silence reigns in
the room. After a few moment, the nymph says : “My name is NelyaSetesh,
I m an ancient Nymph from Loreroot and I m the Secret Guardian of this
place. If u dare, come and find the truth”. She disappears leaving you
alone…
You start to explore the room in which you are. You finally find a
secret entrance behind a wall but the passage is very dark, no light
seems to come out. After a long moment of hesitation, you finally
decide to explore this passage. You enter into the dark. Long minutes
pass and you still don't see nothing. Lest you lost, you decide to
return to the exit. But when you return, darkness reigns. Suddenly,
flames appear around you. You are in the center of a underground dome.
You don’t see any exit... "How do I come in ?" you ask yourself. At
your feet float a strange scroll....
The last letter of the text is : Q
You see the Ancient Magical Scroll and doesn't understand what it
means, the text seems to be written in an unknown language, or maybe it
is a code... "Perhaps if i find the key to decrypt the code, i could
know what it means !!" you think.
Ask people around you to have clues, perhaps some character have
already done studies about this ancient scroll and have some
informations to give you... Indeed, NelyaSetesh told you that other
great character have already met her...
The answer is one english word.

----- Part II : Parfume of Dreams ----
As soon as u pronounced this word, the magical scroll is devoured by
flames and disappears. You hear a rumbling deaf. In front of you, a
part of the dome has collapsed. Although the flames located around you
illuminate the room, you do not distinguish any form in this new
passage, as if there were no physical reality beyond the dome. Yet it
seems to be the only means to escape from this dome. You rush into this
strange passage.
You enter into the passage, what a strange place! All around you, the
space. You can see some very far light as stars. It seems you walk on
an invisible bridge because you can also see stars under you. "Am I in
the center of the Galaxy? If i am in space , how can i breathe?" Many
questions go into your mind but no answers… Behind you still stands the
quarry dome but there is nothing else which seems physical, only space.
“I dream…., It’s the only explanation….” Suddenly, you hear a deep
voice resonating into the infinity : ”Find my name and I will bring you
to your dreams”.
Again, a new scroll appears into your hands, a new enigm to solve…

This text is an extract of a poem of John Keats, Poems (1817)
The first task is to find the text Hope in Poems (1817). We can find it
at this address:
http://www.classicistranieri.com/english/etext05/pkt1710h.htm
Once we got the text, we must apply the code. The code is a sequence of
groups of 1 number – 1 letter – 1 number. It corresponds to a letter in
the poem.
First number et letter indicate the line : 3-A indicates we must take
the third line which begins with A
Second number indicates the letter to put in this line.
So 3-A-15 => we must take the 15th letter in the 3th line which
begins by A.
Once we extract all letters we obtain the name of the sacred perfume of
Egyptians : KYPHI
The solution is KYPHI
----- Part III : Story Of A King ----
You are floating in your dreams. You are a king, a king Almighty! Your
army is huge, you dominate the world. The most powerful creatures,
dragons, basilics, giants, all obey you. “This dream is so beautiful”
you think but it is only a dream. You decide to profit it the most as
you can. While everything was going well, you begin to feel an
unpleasant sensation as if you were sucked. Your view is beginning to
become blur. You are devoured by your dream. You must get out of there

could I no longer do these things? As I bound creatures to my will, set
them to battle and watched them develop my body began to reform. I was
something new, something different. My conciousness changed, but
somewhere locked inside were the memories, the desires, the need to
make new things. I began to see this world both as it was and as it
could be and I made it my mission to create that vision, to add to what
was here before me and make this place better for those that would come
after.
These lands are unfinished, but I will work to finish them. I know that
task will never end, but one man cannot achieve perfection on his own.
I need others. I pray that others will follow me and take up my mantle
when I am gone, but for now I build. I make myself a servant, the agent
of development, of change for the better. Bring me your dreams and I
will make them my own - I will be your slave and your master.

____________________________________________________
The day was hot, but the ale was cold. The bard sat at a table with his
back against a wall in a small pub in Wind Sanctuary. All morning he
had watched the comings and goings of the people of Marind Bell,
listening to their conversations, gossips and complaints. Very few
noticed him, as was his want. His friend Raven had stopped by to
request more work from him on behalf of the Artisans Guild. They had
spoken briefly about the commission, settled on a price, and shared a
drink in good humor.
He looked up at his new patron, “I could use another.” He said flatly
as he carefully removed his Lute from its case and began to minutely
adjust its strings.
When the newly ordered pint came, he took a long pull. The strong sweet
ale steadied him. No one (no not you No One) had ever asked him to tell
this story before. His hands started moving across the strings on their
own, as usual he had started something before he had meant to.
He looked up at Muritus Del Mur and said,” So you want to know my
story? Very well.” And he began to sing:
“The Root of Lore lies deep within,
Shaded from the light of day,
Secrets there in shadows hidden,
Known only to the Nymph and Fey.”
“The forest is his cradle fair.
Family? Home? He has no other.
Root and Tree his only care,
A Strangle Vine, his Mother.”
“Alseydes born and feral raised,
No words he has to keep.
The wind and rain and tree he praised
In languages they speak.”
“Blinded hearts, ears like stones,
The Others come to kill a tree.
The forest screams, sheds tears, and moans,
They cannot hear, they do not see.”
“He lures them to his mother’s face.
Their eyes so full of hate,
They fall into her sweet embrace,
And there they meet their fate.”
“Seeds to seedlings and then to trees,
Like them his stature grows,
Soon bird and beast and all he sees,
His power ere doth know.”
“A raven spoke of a Nymph most fair.
She dwelt in Raven Hold.
At length he went and climbed the stair,
To see what he’d been told.”
“Oh Lovely nymph, at sight did win,
His love, for her gentile grace.
A Knator saw, then followed him,
Back to his secret place.”
“He called to him the wind and rain,
Furious power, a tempest blow,
The Knator’s smile his only refrain,
No fear of him did show.”
“He called to him both bird and beast,
The Knator they gathered round.
Birds snapped at him, beasts bared their teeth,
Knator’s smile turned then to frown.”
“Enough! said Knator, lute in hand,
And then began to play,
A musical spell, a tune most grand,
It held them all in sway.”
“The great and mighty Knator Lord
With Music armed, loud as a horn
He saw the truth, drew not his sword,
“So like the vine, you are: BlackThorn.”
The bard stopped then and took another long draught of ale.
“That’s not the end of your story?” said Muritas more like a statement
than a question.
The bard put down his drink and looked again at his patron. “Why am I
telling him this?” He thought to himself, but then said. “No, it is
not.”
“The spell of the Knator Lord’s music had caught hold of me; or maybe I
just wanted to see NelyaSetesh again. I don’t really know. But I
followed him back to Raven Hold. I remained there for many years as he
taught me to play, and then to sing with words, and finally to speak
like Men. He told me that he believed that I was the child of a human
and an Alseydes: a wood Nymph. He did not know why I was abandoned, but
he said it explained how I was able to speak the languages of the wind,
the trees, the birds and beasts.”
BlackThorn stopped then and when Muritas only waited for him to
continue, he did, still not knowing why. “At first the thought that I
was the half child of a human, those I had called the Others, was
detestable to me.”
At that Muritas‘s eyes narrowed, only slightly, but BlackThorn had
caught it. He was defensive of the humans. Good, they will soon need
him.
“In time my master showed me that not all men destroy. Some even live
to protect Loreroot. He sent me to live and learn from the humans.
There are those, I even call friend. Although most I meet are obsessed
with fighting and training their creatures. Still they are a good lot.”
BlackThorn took the last gulp of his ale. Setting the empty pint down
he carefully placed his lute back into it’s case.
“It’s beautiful, and you play it well.” Said Muritas; a slight smile on
his face.
“Thank you. It was the parting gift from my old master; the Knator
Commander.”
“Tell me about this thorny vine, the one you called your Mother?” said
Muritas looking straight into BlackThorns eyes. The bard reached into
his belt and pulled out a small pouch.
“These are her seeds.” He said handing one to Muritas. “She was my
Mother. She protected me, fed me from her fruit, held me close and
covered me with her vines when I slept. I would not have survived
without her.”
Muritas turned the shiny black seed back and forth in his hand as he
listened to the bard speak. “They are more than simple strangle vines,
They are sentient beings. They use small black poisonous thorns to
subdue their enemies. The poison does not kill, it only causes
temporary paralysis so that those who fall into their embrace don’t
struggle and thrash about. That makes it easier to crush them.”
“Why did it let you live?” BlackThorn smiled at Muritas. “So like a
human.” he thought. He said, “I was never her enemy, she was, is my
family, my kith and kin. Why would she want to hurt me?” Mur found
something humorous in that and laughed out loud. “Of course.” He said
still laughing.
“May I keep this?” he asked. BlackThorn nodded and put the pouch away.
“What of you, and NelyaSetesh?” BlackThorn felt the rush of blood to
his face. He had rather hoped that Muritas would not ask him about her.
“We have never met.” He said looking down at the table. “But I…”
BlackThorn paused, he was no longer sure of his true feelings and as a
bard, he was unable to speak other than the truth to a patron. Muritas
smiled a sympathetic smile and spoke softly, “I understand.” he said,
“She is very beautiful.” BlackThorn smiled. “Yes, She is.”
“Well I must be off,” Said Muritas Del Mur as he rose from the table.
“Thank you for the song and the story, and for this.” He said holding
up the strangle vine seed.
BlackThorn also rose. He bowed and said, “If I may ever be of service,
do not hesitate to call on me.” Mur’s eyes went up slightly at that,
only slightly but BlackThorn had seen it. “I may just do that.” He
smiled as if to a joke only he was aware of, and then left.
Again BlackThorn sat down at his table with his back against a wall.
“Why did I say that?” he thought to himself while shaking his head. “Oh
well.” He said as he ordered yet another ale.

The Root Song
“The Root of Lore lies deep within,
Shaded from the light of day,
Secrets there in shadows hidden,
Known only to the Nymph and Fey.”
“You seek a prize of timeless Worth,
So a song I’ll sing for thee,
About two friends who found great mirth
Solving riddles beneath a tree.”
“Two objects of kindred design,
Both are in function the same,
First one’s parts move, a dance in Time,
The second one sits as though lame.”
“One is used when the day is bright,
In the place Ra sells his mail.
The other is used by candle light,
But its measure will never fail.”
“Traverse the Land, above and below.
Seek ye a place in the sun.
Find the Sign when answers ye know,
Reward is awaiting, now run!”
Name the two objects and the place mentioned in the song by name.
If I am not online...PM me and I will answer you as soon as I get back

Hating takes too much energy and only winds up hurting the one who

One of my favorite stories: ___________________________________________
"Colors Blind the eye.
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.
The Master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is as open as the sky."
A man said to the Bard, "I have a large tree which no carpenter will
cut into lumber. It's Branches and trunk are crooked and tough,
covered with bumps and depressions. No builder would turn his head to
look at it. Your teaching is the same as the tree-useless, without
value. Therefore no one (no not you No One) pays attention to them."
"As you know," replied the Bard, "a cat is very skilled at capturing
its prey. Crouching low, it can leap in any direction, pursuing
whatever it is after. Yet when its attention is focused on such things,
it can easily be caught with a net. On the other hand, A huge yak is
not easily caught or overcome. It stands like a stone, or a cloud in
the sky. Still, for all its strength, it cannot catch a mouse.
You complain that your tree is not valuable as lumber. But you could
make use of the shade it provides, rest under its sheltering branches,
and stroll beneath it, admiring its charecter and appearance. Since it
is not endangered by an axe, what could threaten its existence? It is
useless to you because you only wish to make it into something else and
do not recognize its true form or use it in its proper way."
(Lao tse. from the Tao Te Ching.)
(borrowed and adapted from the writings of Chuang-Tse).
Stories of the Realm: _______________________________________________
The Dojo
While walking through Marble Dale Park, Muritus Del Mur happened
upon the Priestess Calyx of Isis teaching rituals, healing all who
asked, and training in the art of battle, those who had newly arrived
in this land. He called out, “Priestess Calyx what are you doing here?”
The priestess shared her vision with Mur about a place where any might
come to help one another and where battle required permission.
“I call it The Dojo, my Lord.” Mur Looked to the faces of those who
were gathered all around him. Those faces showed their longing for such
a place of compassion and respite.
“You are hereby to be known as Mistress of the Dojo.” Declared Mur to
the delight and praise of all those gathered round. “You have my
blessing, Calyx of Isis.”
Soon the word had spread throughout the lands. Many came to the Dojo,
not only to learn and heal, but also to teach and heal others. Some of
the wise souls among the Md Lands came, seeking to gain adepts and
worshipers by helping Calyx to care for those in need.
Others not so wise came and attacked without permission those studying
at the Dojo. Her students called out for her to punish those who had so
dishonored the Dojo and gone against the word of Mur. But Calyx was
wise. She only warned them that their trespasses would not be
forgotten. When they in time sought adepts and worshipers to advance in
power and stature, they would find that few indeed would be willing.
When .NelyaSetesh. heard of these events and the wisdom of Calyx, she
asked the Mistress of The Dojo to open a school in Loreroot and Gave
her a place of honor among the Supporters of Loreroot.

Comments on Self Calyx
of Isis — Wisdom Teacher and Mistress of the Dojo
In the service of her Goddess and the people of MD, the Calyx is sworn
to neutrality. As founder and Mistress of the Dojo she serves all in
the land. As an archivist, a Legend Speaker, when not at the Dojo she
is sworn to observe and record, not participate in events. Calyx
further serves her Goddess and the people by offering her services as
envoy, mediator, and advisor.
[1] My Goddess communicates with me through dreams and visions. Would
that I could cast dreams on others that they may benefit from Her
wisdom.
[2] As Legend Speaker and Mistress of the Dojo I would have free
passage to all lands, to observe and maintain a dojo in each land.
[3] As "Mistress of the Dojo" I desire the ability to curse those who
persistently dishonor the dojo. The nature of that curse would be to
channel VE from the offender to those they attacked.
My Riddle:
In the heavens at night,
Brightest of all, I seem.
Pyramids point at me,
For the seasons I foretell.
When first seen in dawn’s horizon,
The river is sure to swell,
And the hot, dry days
On me are blamed.
Who am I?
For extra rewards:
Name the river and what happened there.
Name the place where I am found.
Who blamed the hot days on me, and what were those days called (in
English).
My quests will be designed to help the questor attain wisdom, and will
probably be specific to the player requesting a quest.
From
birth I was dedicated to the Goddess Isis.
I am Her servant, Her agent, Her toy.
I am the Calyx, the Calyx of Isis.
Have I a name?
I suppose I was given one at birth; it is long forgotten.
I am now the Calyx, nothing more..
Founder and shepherd of the Dojo.
Wisdom teacher and healer.
I learn and teach and I teach and learn
(teacher and student learn from each other).
The Calyx was meditating, seated in lotus position beneath the
unblinking sun and the moonless sky. Suddenly her mind resounded with
the voice of her Goddess, “Follow them! Record their ideas and
actions.” She didn’t need to ask to know ‘them’ referred to the
Seekers of Enlightenment. Without hesitation she stood, gathered
her
few belongings and loped off in search of the Seekers to become their
chronicler.
It was some time later, while the Seekers we meditating on their
next actions, that Isis spoke to Her Calyx once again. “The people need
a place to study and heal with some degree of safety. You are My wisdom
teacher, so go unto the park and establish there a school. Teach them
the Way of the Dojo, that in My dojo they may battle only by
mutual consent.” The Calyx meditated on this for some time until she
understood how to accomplish her Goddess’ task. In sanctuary she spoke
about Way of the Dojo. Gradually people listened and many
agreed that a dojo was needed. They asked the Calyx, “when will it
begin?” She said, “Now!” and she lead them to the park and established
Isis’ dojo at that spot.
The dojo prospered and grew as it filled a need for almost all in
the land of MagicDuel. The Calyx of Isis also grew in power and wisdom.
One day it happened that she learned the way past the Guardians of
Loreroot. It was a time of rejoicing for her. As she explored the new
lands, a nymph, the Lady Neyla Setesh, came to the Calyx to make an
offer and ask a boon, that a dojo be created in Loreroot. Now, Isis had
already shown Her calyx a vision with a dojo in every homeland, so the
boon was easy to grant and Defensive Quarters became a dojo.

Personal Hate
List
i hate people who disturb the balance. Everything must be rotten,
because we all know that there is no end, even that in death there
isn't an end.
Wodin I hate you beacuse you want to destroy necrovion. Military Ways and Beliefs I only believe in trying. Even the sacred one won't win
against me, beacuse I won't stop!
I do what I must, because I believe in faith, and my faith is chosen to
be with the great shades!
People who want to be my aprentice, well they can't because god still
doesn't allow it. I hope there will be a time when we all live in
Necrovion,
our true home.
Never understimate your foe, try to be like a shadow, see your
opponent, watch
him and test him until you find his weakness, then strike him with all
your
power to finish him off forever. It's the best thing you can do.
We are the so called "evil" beacuse we won't allow Necrovion to be
destroyed! As it's part of this world, and I don't like wondering
souls. They
need a home too. Protector Statement This player doesn't have this page.
Outside
Necrovion,
the other part of the Traveler walks as a regular human among others,
fighting
for his experience, training his creatures and perfecting his
techniques.
Memories between the two parts synchronize from time to time, but
memories can
be easily intercepted by someone that can understand time.

After a
short walk
the Traveler reaches a great dark pillar, more like a enormous black
plant
growing from the abyss, the Death Marrow. Keeping his distance from the
dark
Death Marrow, he starts to transform again.

Unseen
by shades or
humans, he travels deeper and deeper into Necrovion's heart. Outside,
his other
part learns the basics of life disguised as a regular guy.

All
alone in the
tunnel, the traveler starts to split his shape once more, one seen by
others
the other seen by some. Both approach the two guards. Frightening
whispers warn
to stay away or die. One of them obeys and turns back while the other
passes
unseen and enters Inner Necrovion.

440 [2009-02-06
09:04:56 - The Traveler]
Still
difficult to be
seen by normal eyes, The Traveler tries to get bits of the discussion
from a
distance. "I am three men - two who are more complete than they seem,
one
who is less." (Oh my, and I thought I am twisted). Khal walks away
slowly
towards Marind's Bell,
exiting the tunnel and heading back to its people. "Ah, a King I see;
maybe we will meet one day."
Page
439 [2009-02-06
09:03:51 - The Traveler]
Suddenly
he notices a
man talking to thin air. Bits of the conversation reach him, "I
understand
your sacrifice ...Son." Alerted by the nearby voices, The Traveler's
shape
starts to merge back into one and take their distance from the guards.
"Hmm, a difficult mind to reach ..Kh..Khalazdad ..and..oh.. that is a
story I could collect." Bits of his shape still vibrate uncertain while
he
focuses to read Khal's mind.

Its
shape started to
shatter and small particles split in two opposite directions. Two
silhouettes
form while the being walks deeper down the Tunnel of War approaching
the two
guards that defend the other end.

Junior
looks shocked
at how the "not so old" man walks pass the Guards and enters the
Tunnel of War, a place rumored to lead into Inner Necrovion. But, no
one ever
passed the guards alive. "Ah, damn it! One day I will figure out who
you
are and what your plans are with that cube you made me talk so much
about..." Junior looks frustrated at the passage, unable to pass the
guards. "I shall inform the Commander about this; maybe he knows
more."
Page
436 [2009-02-05
21:39:34 - The Traveler]
The old
man starts to
walk straight and faster. Junior almost loses his track. "What business
do
you have in this remote place...maybe with the guards...nah..cant be,
they
never talk or do anything except staring at that damn tunnel.."

03:03:57 - Tales of The Cube]
The
past memories can
not be so easily forgotten by Junior. He looks in the dispersing crowd,
trying
to locate the old man, and so he does. "Lets see where you are going.
You
can't fool me old man."
Page
434 [2009-02-05
07:16:34 - Tales of The Cube]
Everybody
looks
shocked at the old man that prepares to walk away. "But but ... you
wanted
to know about all this; you started the story.." Junior looks confused.
"And, I have heard all I wanted to know." The image gets blurry, and
everybody looks at each other confused, trying to remember why they
stood gathered
there in circle. After a while, they all split up, still trying to
remember
what it was. Some mumble about an old man, but none can recall what
happened
exactly.
Page
433 [2009-02-03
19:36:19 - Tales of The Cube]
"But, I
heard
the book is in Golemus, in the burning top of mountKelle'tha;
several people tried to get it.." "And failed! So, we must
investigate other ways." The old man stands up, maybe a bit too fast
for
his apparently old age. "I am sure the book is on the mountain
somewhere;
the shades have no need of the book. Their magic is strong enough. I
will go
now. I am tired, and this starts to sound like a child's story."
Page
432 [2009-01-31
21:33:53 - Tales of The Cube]
"I will
ask my
scholars to search the archives for any relevant information. If the
shades got
hold of the Book, we should have noticed some kind of event by now, or
some
piece of information to indicate that." [Share ideas and discoveries

23:31:40 - Tales of The Cube]
"The
commander
was marked by the disappearance of his best soldiers. Recently, our
path
crossed, and I was assigned to investigate this. Nobody knows what
happened to
the cargo, or to the soldiers, but rumor has it that the cube they
transported
contained the legendary Book of Principles." Liberty pops in, "Well it can't be
that
the shades got the cargo. With such a powerful item, we would have
noticed by
now a change of some sort." "Or maybe they did, but something else
happened," a young voice talks out of the crowd. "Wait, I might help.
I am Yami no Sakura; a legend teller. I met the commander, and I want
to
help."
Page
430 [2009-01-29
01:43:29 - Tales of The Cube]
"Nobody
knows
how they managed to do that, but during the mission, the troops were
ambushed
by shades. The soldiers started to disappear, getting blurry and
glowing just
before that. The Commander was the only one to escape the ambush, but
.." "Wait,"
the old man stops Junior from his tale. "I assume this cargo was the
other
cube you were talking about..." "Yes.."
Page
429 [2009-01-30
06:53:18 - Tales of The Cube]
After a
moment of
thinking, .Junior. starts telling his story. "Long ago, Knator
Commander
was assigned to a secret mission to escort a big cargo deep into
Golemus. He
assembled the best of his soldiers for this mission. Rumor says that
Golemus
island was evacuated before this, anticipating a possible massive
accident. It
was no secret that the Shades wanted that cargo by all costs, but could
not
enter Golemus because Shades can not cross water... so they tried
alternate
ways."
Page
428 [2009-01-30
06:52:31 - Tales of The Cube]
"Good
boy, tell
me more about the book of principles. What do you know?" An evil smile
escapes on the old man's face. "I heard a lot of people lost their
lives
or minds trying to find that book, but I never heard about another
cube."
Suddenly, a voice shouts from the crowd, "You are lying!!" Everybody
looks in that direction, but nobody is there; just a big pile of dust
blown
slowly by the wind. "Ah, don't let those kids disturb us with their
jokes.
Please go on young man; tell us your story."
Page
427 [2009-01-28
07:17:34 - Tales of The Cube]
"I
would like to
tell a story of my own, old man. Maybe you can advise me in my quest."
Junior steps in front and sits down next to the man. "I once met a
powerful being that taught me about respect and loyalty. The Commander
lost its
soldiers for a similar cube, and my mission is to find them. I did a
lot of
research since the quest for the Book of Principles, but some things
simply
don't fit together."
Page
426 [2009-01-27
22:50:13 - Tales of The Cube]
Everybody
stares at
the story teller without saying a word. "So they tried to create a
giant
artificial cube you say.." "But doesn't the cube usually appear
around a soul? did they try to create the opposite? Create a soul by
creating
its cube? That's insane!" "..And why are you telling us this story
old man?" The crowd of people starts to mumble louder and louder,
getting
more agitated.
Page
425 [2009-01-27
22:48:41 - Tales of The Cube]
"Unstable
as it
was, the cube broke in two pieces. The power of elements unleashed upon
the
surrounding lands. Water flooded the place. The mountain raised from
the
ground. Fire started to burn eternally at the gates, and the cube
itself
started to burn with liquid flames. This is how your beloved island was
created. Since then, magic in its raw form is much easier to do on the
island,
and even illusions become reality."
Page
424 [2009-01-27
22:44:21 - Tales of The Cube]
"Hey
don't talk
like that! Golems are pieces of art requiring extreme finesse and power
to
create!" Udgard looks angrily at the old man. "Yes, but not when you
forge one of the elements because you can't control it well enough."
The
old man sits down and a couple of people gather closer to him.
Page
423 [2009-01-27
22:42:40 - Tales of The Cube]
"They
tried to
do what was thought as impossible: to create a cube... They thought
that if
they gathered the power of all 4 elements they could create a......
well, they
failed." "WHAT ..what did they try to create with that cube?!"
shouts Liberty.
"Ah, an abomination; An error of magic: a Golem, a false being with an
artificial soul."

22:39:59 - Tales of The Cube]
Trying
to sound as a
less important question, Junior asks "Oh , so , your story has
something
to do with Knator Commander?" After a short break, the man replies:
"How do you ...no no no my boy. The Commander was a little calf back
then." Suddenly, the old man becomes blurry for a fraction of time.
"Did you see that?" "..Yes, Darkpriestess. I fear that I know
what this is about."
Page
421 [2009-01-27
22:36:34 - Tales of The Cube]
"You
know that
your beloved island was not an island before?" More people gather to
listen to the man. "3 brothers, 3 fellow wizards, tried to create a
cube
long ago. Their powers were enormous, yet they controlled only 3
elements..." The crowd starts to murmur, "Create a cube? You are
insane, old man. Yell your tales elsewhere"

Time
stays still at
Willow Shop. Mumbling in a low voice, an old man starts to talk about
some interesting
things. "I will tell you a story of a cube, a cube that you all see but
few
know of it ". .Junior. comes closer to the man, trying to see if its
madness or something else.

"Stay

Bootes
and Nelya
stand silently and observe as the Sun reappears and the Moon sets.
Bootes’ face
is lit up like a child’s, and Nelya smiles happily. “That was
Absolutely
Amazing, wasn’t it?” Nelya hugs him tightly, asking, “Will night come
again?”
Bootes grabs a scrap of paper, calculates quickly, and looks up,
uttering one
word: “Yes.” This concludes the Inner Sun branch. Soon, a puzzle will
be

The
entire realm
stops to hold its breath and watch. The moon is radiant, dominating the
black,
star-speckled sky. The feeling of confusion and hesitation gives way to
elation. At first there are soft laughs, which expand to cheers, but
these soon
give way to ecstatic voices, raising high into the air: Night has
returned to
the land
of MagicDuel.

The
object continues
its ascent, silent and grand while the celebration continues, the
guests
bursting with joy and enthusiasm. In the sky, another phenomenon
begins, but
which does not go unnoticed. The Eternal Sun begins to fade and is
eclipsed by
a dark body. There are gasps of alarm and surprise. “Look! The Sun!”

The
decor is set, and
guests arrive from all over the realm. The celebration begins, and the
mood is
light and cheerful. Speeches are made; champagne flows freely. New
friends are
created and old companions laugh, dance, and talk for hours. None takes
notice
of the appearance of an object in the sky: large, round, luminous.

Amoran
awakens and
wipes tears from her eyes as they adjust to the brightness. She sits in
the
shade of the Oak Fort, her dream having left her uneasy and sad. Did
she fail?
Did she succeed? Uncertainty assails her; she knows she has lost a part
of
herself forever. Amoran has changed, now walking a path steeped in
twilight.
The Twilight Bound has finished her quest for now.

22:14:07 - The Inner Sun - Am., Kal.]
Amoran
watches
silently as Kalamanira walks to stand near the tree, her tree. “No
longer are
we one, Amoran… we have separate bodies, minds, ideas… I see this now.”
Amoran
walks to her own tree and feels it move in response to her presence and
touch.
She looks toward Kalamanira and hears the truth in her words. “Yes, we
walk
different paths.”
Page
411 [2009-01-15
02:30:17 - The Inner Sun - Am., Kal.]
“But,
Kala… what does
this mean?” The willow tree before them shimmers in response, glowing
brightly
and changing. It rends itself apart, the earth beneath it doing
likewise. The
tree splits and reforms into two: the Oak Fort and the Accursed Growth.
The
land mirrors the split: rolling plain and burning battlefield.

02:30:00 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Nel.]
The
melody grows
louder as the pillars flash in rhythm to the music. The ground shakes,
and the
pillars blast a beam of light into the sky as the music crescendos.
Bootes and
Nelya shield their eyes and cover their heads. The two are motionless
and
bewildered. “Bootes…?” Nelya begins, but stops as he shakes his head.
“I Don’t
know, Nelya…”

409 [2009-01-15
02:29:43 - The Inner Sun - Am., Kal.]
Kalamanira
looks into
Amoran’s eyes and smiles sadly. “You know that is no longer true. We
each
sought healing. You found it in the Oak Fort of Loreroot and I took it
from the
Accursed Growth in Necrovion. We were connected, yes, but we have each
been
healed by the land to which we bound ourselves.” Amoran stands,
considering her
words.

02:29:23 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Nel.]
Bootes
emerges from
the light and steps off the dais, smiling, having returned from the
last site.
“Did we do it, Bootes? Will the moon return?” The light on the dais
does not
fade but intensifies, drawing their attention. The light surges into
the
pillars, and a faint melody intones. Nelya asks Bootes, “What is that
sound?”
Page
407 [2009-01-14
06:55:21 - The Inner Sun - Am., Kal.]
“This
is when it began,”
Kalamanira says and walks around, studying the stillness before her.
Amoran is
still for a time before asking, “What began here?” “Our journeys… our
separate
journeys, Amoran,” Kalamanira replies. “This moment is when we became
the last
two of our kind.” “Two? What are you talking about? We are the last
one, Kala.”
Page
406 [2009-01-14
06:55:03 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Nel.]
“Ah,
yes! Where did
You find This?” “In a book about seals, how to form and release them.
Bootes…”
she pauses, “will this work?” He races toward the Pillars of Harmony,
shouting
back, “Let’s find Out!” Working together once more, the two activate
the
pillars, sending Bootes across the realm, following a specific pattern.

06:54:03 - The Inner Sun - Am., Kal.]
Moonlight
shines
through the boughs of the tree before Amoran. Kalamanira whispers.
“…this is
when…” but trails off. Amoran recognizes this as the moment when one
was
separated into two. It all has been frozen in time: the tree, the
beast, Amoran
and Kalamanira flying back from the tree and each other.

Nelya
nudges Bootes,
rousing him from his slumber. “I have found something you should see,
Bootes.”
He barely opens an eye to peer at her. She smiles and whispers, “I
think I have
found the last piece of this puzzle.” Bootes grunts indistinctly, and
Nelya
rolls her eyes. She bends over and says in his ear, “A sigil.”

Moving
swiftly,
Amoran takes Kalamanira’s head between her palms. Stepping forward, she
kisses
Kalamanira, causing her to drop her weapon in shock. Wind howls, and
the world
twists around them. Amoran takes a step back to see the scene has
changed to
one of a large willow tree illuminated from behind by the moon.

07:09:53 - The Inner Sun - Am., Kal.]
Kalamanira
swings her
sword with ease and precision. Amoran barely dodges the blows,
desperate to
avoid a fight. Yet she sees few options left. Voices echo in a torrent
within
Amoran’s head: words of advice and guidance. The cacophony seems to
distract
Kalamanira as well, and Amoran makes her move.

23:50:17 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Nel.]
“What
connection do
the Pillars of Harmony have with all this?” Bootes’ smile falters for a
moment
as he hesitates. “… I cannot Say for sure, but together we will
discover it and
see it returned to this Land.” Nelya extends her hand and grasps
Bootes’ and smiles.

Amoran
leans against
the tree which sways in response to her presence. She has exhausted
herself and
the words echo in her head. “He wanted to tell his story to someone
worthy. Am…
I to be tested…” she trails off, frightened at what it may mean. Unable
to
concentrate any longer, she eases to the ground, her eyes drift close,
and she
dreams. Click >here< to help.

The
dais is silent as
the light flares again. “Have you found anything In that Tome?” Nelya
tilts her
head draping her hair across her face. She frowns as she brushes it
away,
“Bootes, you think there is a connection?” “Nelya, give me your Map,”
he says
with a slight smile. He begins to point out his observations.

Amoran
descends the
stairs out of Ren’s office. “What does this have to do with me? Did…
Renavoid

surroundings.
Eventually she finds herself next to the Oak Fort in the forests of
Loreroot,
her thoughts twisting within her mind. Dark… Light… Knowledge… Power…

Bootes
pauses,
breathless at the majestic sight of the Pillars of Harmony. Before
continuing
on, Bootes feels a hand on his shoulder and turns to see someone walk
past him.
“Nelya?” he calls out. “How did you…?” She turns back towards Bootes,
smiling
and laughing lightly. “A hug and a kiss, dear Bootes. Come, you have
much work
to do.”

Bootes
steps off the
bridge leading to the island
of Golemus and
breathes the
salty air. The unusual sound of the surf breaking on the nearby beach
draws his
attention. Walking on the sparkling sands of the beach, he takes a
moment to
smile. Then, with a deep breath, the Celestial Observer turns and walks
back
the way he came.

The
Archivist watches
the woman leave and sighs. "It would seem it has begun. It is a shame
we
can't get personal directions...but our paths are much too unique.."
Renavoid's path has led him to his next task, and he rises now as the
Master
Archivist: overseer of the Archivists and Archives, as well as many
other
things that pertain to them. His Inner Sun is unlocked.
Page
394 [2008-12-20
23:57:27 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
The two
sit in
silence for many long moments. The Archivist merely waits for Amoran to
finish
thinking whatever she's pondering. Experience will teach her in time.
Amoran
stands suddenly, and Renavoid looks up with a smile. After another
pause, she
speaks, "I need to think about this," and she abruptly leaves the
room to travel her own path.
Page
393 [2008-12-19
12:43:52 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
Taking
a deep breath,
Renavoid sits on the bed in the room. "I have to say: I believe it is a
very important thing to understand. Though, many in the realm will not
understand it." Amoran watches the Archivist intently, not sure if she
should be comforting him or if he was trying to tell her something
deeper with
this dream of his. Perhaps I am one of those in the realm who does not
understand?
Page
392 [2008-12-19
12:05:42 - The Inner Sun - Noo. END]
He
suddenly springs
up with renewed vigor and a stronger resolve. “If I can help others
then…” he
says out loud, “perhaps that can… redeem me…” No One has made his
decision, a
way for him to keep his own shadows at bay. Unsure whether he will
truly find
redemption for his crimes – real or imagined – he knows he has to try.
He now
wanders the land silently; a wandering beacon for those who are lost.
Page
391 [2008-12-18
18:03:08 - The Traveler]
As he
passes by the
Gates of Marind Bell his attention gets distracted by a large gathering
of
people apparently fighting each other with some white fluffy matter
that its
falling from the sky. Some build decoys in the form of fake white
silhouettes
and hide behind them. The Traveler carefully approaches the agitated
mob.
Page
390 [2008-12-18
03:22:22 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
"I
channeled all
of my energy into the Quill. It was the thing that most closely
identified with
my mind, you see. When the darkness completely consumed my body, the
quill,
with my soul and essence, remained glowing. It glowed with the
fierceness of
the sun, and drove the darkness out. It is here, always, that I wake
from the
hellish nightmare."
Page
389 [2008-12-18
03:17:12 - The Inner Sun - Bo., MRD]
Silence
settles in
the area, and even the wind refuses to blow. Bootes reaches across the
board,
moving a small – seemingly hidden – piece. MRD sputters for a moment
and Bootes
chuckles softly. “Check and Mate, Sir.” MRD looks on in disbelief for a
moment
and then extends his hand. “Bootes, I thank you for one fine game of
chess.”
Page
388 [2008-12-18
03:22:37 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
"I
sensed only
an endless abyss with me in some random meaningless corner. The
darkness
noticed me though. It seeped into my skin, slowly devouring my body in
its
effort to control me. Struggling with all of my might, I grabbed the
one thing
I found comfort in: my Quill." Amoran's eyes turned a deep shade of
blue
as she listened.
Page
387 [2008-12-18
02:41:33 - The Inner Sun - Bo., MRD]
The
sound of battle
grows deeper and the two men fall into silence, concentrating on the
task at
hand. There are no exclamations or sighs; there is only the crack of
stone on
stone, the sound bouncing off the gates. This lasts for several more
minutes before
MRD explodes, “This is it, Bootes! I have you now – prepare for defeat!”
Page
386 [2008-12-18
02:41:02 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
No one
contemplates a
moment. He thinks about how his torment has abated for the short time
he was
helping. For that time, he feels as though the light within him was set
free
and the shadows were conquered... but not for long, as the shadows have
since
resumed their brutal assault against his psyche. No One sighs darkly,
feelings
of desperation returning.
Page
385 [2008-12-17
14:40:04 - The Traveler]
With
mystery at his
right and darkness at his left, the Traveler advances deeper into the
realm.
Small lights pass by, some stronger than the others some darker. None
can see
him yet...his search continues.
Page
384 [2008-12-16
06:28:43 - The Inner Sun - Bo., MRD]
MRD
grunts in
disbelief at Bootes’ counter. “Have You had enough?“ There is a soft
sigh
before MRD replies, “Very clever…” With a quick movement, he laughs and
smiles,
“not nearly clever enough, though.” Bootes’ eyes widen in surprise. He
ponders
deeply before his next move, replying with his own grin. “Is This
clever Enough
for You?”
Page
383 [2008-12-16
06:27:04 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
The
newcomer nods in
appreciation of the info. “Hey, thanks a lot! Now that I understand it,
I think
I’ll be able to figure it out.” No One smiles, waves, and then returns
to the
gazebo and sits. For several moments he feels at peace. The darkness
within him
has withdrawn and he is left feeling calm and serene.
Page
382 [2008-12-16
06:26:05 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
With
Amoran sitting
once more on the rug in Marind's Room, Renavoid continues his tale as
if
nothing had happened. "The darkness, once it reaches me, continues to
blind all of my senses, not just my sight. I can hear only my thoughts,
though
they are hushed. I feel only cold. It is most oppressing."
Page
381 [2008-12-16
05:58:07 - The Inner Sun - Bo., MRD]
The
sounds of battle
ring across the Gates of Ages. There are several harsh exclamations and
MRD
smirks, “You are a worthy opponent, but…” A soft groan issues from
Bootes as
another from his forces fall. There is a pause before battle begins
anew, a
chuckle following. “You’re not so bad yourself.” MRD’s jaw drops at the
loss of
one of his own.
Page
380 [2008-12-16
05:22:51 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
A voice
draws No
One’s attention, a voice filled with frustration. He walks toward it to
find
himself in Berserker’s Way. Someone is standing there, fuming “I don’t
get this
thing! It doesn’t make sense.” No One clears his throat and offers, “I
might be
able to help you with this. Let me explain something...” No One begins
to
advise the newcomer.
Page
379 [2008-12-16
04:57:48 - The Traveler]
One
step at a time,
tired from a long journey, the traveler enters the great MD Realm. He
has no
face and no name and some can't even understand its shape.
Page
378 [2008-12-15
01:13:49 - The Inner Sun - Bo., MRD]
MRD is
motionless,
flanked by his drachorns. “Sorry, Bootes, but no one gets past me.”
Bootes
continues to dust himself off saying, “MRD, I Need to gain Entrance to
Golemus.” MRD smirks and shrugs. “Okay, you’ll have to prove yourself.
Are you
ready for this?” MRD sweeps his arm and several more creatures appear.
Page
377 [2008-12-15
00:48:22 - The Inner Sun - Bo., MRD]
Bootes
pauses a
moment to adjust his pack before moving toward the Gates of Ages again.
However, as he takes a step, there is a roaring blast of wind which
bowls
Bootes over, knocking him to the ground. Picking himself up, he sees
there is
now someone blocking the way: MRD, Leader of the MR Fraternity and
Protector of
Golemus.
Page
376 [2008-12-14
23:30:04 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
No One
smiles and
relaxes at finding himself in a familiar place. He leans back and slows
his
breathing while up against the latticework of the gazebo. Yet, his
repose is
not entirely restful. In the back of his mind he realizes that he has
escaped
the shadows without but not the shadows within. No One reaches up and
wipes the
sweat from his face.
Page
375 [2008-12-14
23:29:16 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
“No! I
won’t let it
slip away!” No One lurches to his feet and cries out in defiance. He
races
through the broken and blasted waste which is Necrovion. He catches
sight of
the Howling Gates and makes a mad dash for them. No One crosses the
threshold
and keeps running, rushing past the lonely tree and its guardian, and
finally
stops at the Gazebo of Equilibrium.
Page
374 [2008-12-13
12:00:26 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
No One
feels crushed
under the weight of the shadows which are far deeper within him than
those that
follow. His agony rings through his ears, seeps into every tissue, and
runs
cold through his blood. No One tries to weep for his soul, but his
tears are
lost to the consuming darkness within him. He speaks softly, more
movement than
sound, “Is there nothing left of my humanity?”
Page
373 [2008-12-13
11:59:34 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
No One
continues his
lonely trek through the blackened, scorched wastelands of Necrovion and
his
despondency begins to intensify. He is beginning to doubt himself, what
he has
done. The darkness within him feels as though it is closing in on his
mind, his
heart, and his soul. He suddenly drops to the ground, overcome by
despair.
Page
372 [2008-12-12
08:41:57 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
The
sound of the door
opening and footsteps causes the Archivist to look up once more. "I'm
back!" Amoran grins broadly. Renavoid stands and sets the quill and log
aside. "Splendid!" Ren quirks an eyebrow at a once again sleeping
Adept, then, rolling his eyes, thinks. "Now...where did I leave off in
our
tale..."
Page
371 [2008-12-12
08:08:26 - The Inner Sun - Bo.]
The
breeze is light
and the sun is warm. Bootes travels quickly from the Archives, through
Marind's
Bell,
and
passes through the gates of the city. Others note his upbeat attitude
and wave
to him or call out. He merrily returns their well- wishes as he
continues on.
He turns a corner and his pack bounces against his back. Before long,
the Gates
of Ages appear.
Page
370 [2008-12-12
07:55:28 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
Standing
and
wandering about the desolate land, No One wonders if he is truly alone.
His
mind races with thoughts about what has happened, and what he has done.
No One
sees shadows at the edge of his vision, shadows which dart from nowhere
and
return there. He is unsure whether they are real or imagined... and if
it even
matters.
Page
369 [2008-12-12
07:47:37 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
Renavoid
takes a step
back into the room from the balcony, stretching slightly. "Well, that
was
a bundle of joy...Where did Amoran get to?" He kicks at his adept
gruffly,
"Hey, get up you lazy bum. Go find Amoran...now!" Turning to look out
over the balcony once more, the Archivist patiently strokes the
feathers of his
long quill.
Page
368 [2008-12-12
07:14:58 - The Inner Sun - Noo.]
No One
pants heavily
and wipes the sweat from his face. His clothes are damp and he aches
all over.
He closes his eyes for a moment, but snaps them open again almost
instantly.
The images from his nightmare are still behind his eyelids, seemingly
lying in
wait for him. His breath rattles in his chest and disturbs the dust
around him,
the only sign of life within this land.
Page
367 [2008-12-04
23:43:04 - The Inner Sun - Bo.]
He
waves a farewell
to his companion and leaves his office. Bootes is excited and nearly
runs down
the steps leading out of the Archives. There is a spring to his step
and he
feels cheery. His mind races with the possibilities of what he might
discover.
With the collected documents in tow, Bootes begins what he feels will
be the
final leg of his journey.
Page
366 [2008-12-02
07:30:25 - The Inner Sun - Ren., Am.]
Renavoid
suddenly
pauses his story and looks out the doorway to the Balcony. "Hmm...I
must
attend some other business, Young One. We will continue this soon." He
smiles at her as he stands and walks out onto the Balcony. Slightly
confused,
Amoran goes about her business waiting for Ren to finish.
Page
365 [2008-12-02
07:23:15 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Tar.]
“Yes,
this is It! I
believe we Have everything We Need!” Bootes’ beams and even Tarquinus
lets a
smile appear as the two men are finally able to put all the pieces
together.
Tarquinus points to a rough diagram, “I believe this is your next
destination.”
He claps Bootes’ shoulder, “Your journey seems to be nearing its end.”
Bootes
begins his preparations to travel once again.
Page
364 [2008-11-30
00:04:51 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Tar., Iam.]
The
sounds of battle
ring out across the dojo. As I am Bored passes through the dojo, a man
approaches and speaks with him. Bored’s face lights up, “You want to
know about
my book?! Awesome!!” He begins to rant and becomes completely oblivious
to his
environment. Another man brushes by Bored; he does not pause to fold
the paper,
but hurries on his way instead.
Page 363 [2008-11-28 13:00:56 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.,
Iam.]
In a darkened corner of the Archives, four
shadowy figures
discuss their plan in hushed voices. All the important details are laid
out,
assignments are given, and contingencies are considered for the
unforeseen.
With a nod of the head, one man sets the plot in motion.
Page 362 [2008-11-28 12:59:11 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.,
Iam.]
“The message has been sent to my spymaster. He
is quite
capable; he will succeed.” Bootes still looks uneasy, but Tarquinus
reassures
him: “Think of the greater good.” The two men sit in silence before
Bootes
smiles and says, “It’s Possible Bored Has even forgotten he Has it.
There is
Another Who wishes to help Us, as well.”
Page 361 [2008-11-28 12:57:12 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.,
Iam.]
Bootes and Tarquinus discuss how to obtain the
page in I am
Bored’s possession. Each man offers several plans, but none seems
suitable. The
two consider ideas until they agree on a promising one. “I’m Not sure I
Like
it…” “Nay, but our course is narrow. We must have it.” Bootes leans
back in his
chair and sighs, “True… Now To find Someone to do It.”
Page 360 [2008-11-26 19:52:41 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
Trapped in his never-ending nightmare, No One
looks in
desperation at the small puppy. He recoils as it melts, too. The puppy
sends
out a silent plea from its eyes before they burst. The form dissipates
and the
ashes of its bones blow away. At this horrific sight, he awakes with a
start,
covered in sweat, to find himself alone in Necrovion once again.
Page 359 [2008-11-26 09:31:48 - The Inner Sun -
Ren., Am.]
Renavoid sighs and continues his story, "When I
sleep,
I dream the same dream, almost everyday. It's a dreary dream of
discomfort. I
stand alone in my office, when dark overtakes the land. From the
Balcony, I can
see beautiful twinkling lights in the sky. But, the darkness does not
stop. It
creeps closer, drawing near and blinding me." Amoran listens intently.
Page 358 [2008-11-25 06:20:46 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
The substance drips off No One’s limbs in long
strands
which tear at his flesh. No One screams as his body oozes and is
stripped to
the very bone. He wheels around wildly, continuing to melt. Yet, he
cannot run
nor can feel or hear anything. He rolls his eyes to the sky, which has
turned
jet black, to avoid the sight of his naked bones. His screams echo only
in his
head.
Page 357 [2008-11-23 06:54:27 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.,
Iam.]
The men’s attention is drawn away from their
current
concern by a clamor coming from elsewhere in the Archives. Bootes peeks
out his
door to see a figure with a book shouting and singing on his way out.
Tarquinus
scowls dismissively at the spectacle and turns away. Bootes stops him
and
points, “Wait… What do you See There?”
Page 356 [2008-11-23 06:24:16 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
“This… this is a dream?! Someone! Anyone?! Help
me!!” No
One cries. The torrent abates and No One stand motionless. “Wait,
something
isn’t right…” He examines his skin for gashes but finds none. Instead,
he finds
something else more disturbing. Looking on in disbelief, No One finds
he is
covered in a thick, black, sticky substance like oil... or blood.
Page 355 [2008-11-23 06:24:48 - The Inner Sun -
Ren., Am.]
"Personal strife is what leads us to our
rewards," is Amoran's simple reply. Renavoid nods, understanding her
response, and continues the lesson. "Hmm...but perhaps not quite so
personal then? Perhaps we have need to include more people so that our
hardships are not our own...I've been dreaming..."
Page 354 [2008-11-22 20:35:04 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
I am Bored thinks a bit. “The book was sealed.
That seal
broke … perhaps more seals will open later?” He tucks the book under
his arm
and strides out of the Archives with a triumphant grin on his face. “I
know
I’ll see more!” I am Bored decides to keep the book, waiting
impatiently for
each seal to open. Bored now roams the lands eagerly awaiting the time
his book
will show something new, and rereading the pages of the book that are
already
open.
Page 353 [2008-11-22 02:49:04 - The Inner Sun -
Ren., Am.]
Renavoid, the Archivist, is sitting on the bed
in Marind's
Room, his head in one hand despairingly, when Amoran enters the room.
"Hello, Young One...please, have a seat." She quietly sits on the rug
in the room and watches the Archivist trace his long quill through the
air,
spelling out the word "Turmoil" with the golden, sparking trace it
leaves behind in the air. "What do you understand about personal
strife?"
Page 352 [2008-11-22 00:06:06 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.]
It is impossible to tell how long the two men
have been
working and puzzling over what has been found as the sun is defiantly
stationary. “Is this all you have gathered, Bootes?” “Yes, Tarquinus.
This is
All I have Found.” Tarquinus leans against a chair, sets his jaw, and
folds his
arms across his chest. “Bootes, could we still be missing some
documents?”
Page 351 [2008-11-21 23:48:32 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
“What kind of book is this?! I want to see
more!!” Try as
he might, though, the seal holds fast. Annoyed, I am Bored turns to
throw the
book away but then stops, a thought occurring to him. “When I was
sitting in
the dark, a seal opened…” He looks at the page with the Rustgold Dragon
on it
and sees that the wax has all but disappeared. “I wonder…”
Page 350 [2008-11-21 23:47:57 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
No One is stunned to see the puppy frantically
assault the
bubble, which does not yield to it. He sees blood begin to smear
against the
bubble and cries out. With one final lunge the puppy launches itself at
the
bubble which shatters like glass. No One screams in panic as a barrage
of
jagged, gleaming glass swirls around him, slicing his face and arms.
Page 349 [2008-11-21 03:44:56 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.]
The two men walk around the Archives and speak
at length.
Finally, after a brief silence Bootes says, “I See. I am saddened to
Hear such
News.” “Thank you, but let us dwell on it no longer. I am here to
ensure her
vision is realized.” “Then we should Return to the Study and get
Started,
Tarquinus.” “Lead the way, my friend. Let us see what we can discover.”
Page 348 [2008-11-21 03:44:22 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
Time passes as I am Bored studies the pages
within the
book. The library is surprisingly silent as he looks everything over at
least
twice, sometimes more. Looking through the book, he finds what looks
like a
simple wax seal. When I am Bores tries to open the sealed section,
however, the
wax holds fast. “Hey!! What is this?!”
Page 347 [2008-11-21 03:43:20 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
In the direction of Marind Bell, there is
another light. It
seems odd and surrounds the land. Before No One has a chance to analyze
what he
sees, the moon fades, the stars disappear, and the sky lightens again.
He then
hears an odd thumping. Looking at the source, he sees the puppy ramming
against
the bubble.
Page 346 [2008-11-19 19:53:48 - The Inner Sun -
Bo., Tar.]
The documents are spread out all over every flat
surface
available. Bootes steps back to take it all in when he hears a knock at
his
door. Not paying attention, he starts speaking. “Penelope, I’m Glad
you’ve
Come…” but trails off when he hears someone cough gently. The person
steps
forward and says, “Circumstances have necessitated a change.”
Page 345 [2008-11-19 19:52:27 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
I am Bored pulls open a door and emerges from
the tunnel.
He races up the stairs, two at a time, entering a brightly lit room.
Looking
around, he finds a desk and comfortable chair. He sits and looks
through his
book, gazing joyfully at all the pictures and their descriptions.
“Archer,
Barren Soul, Knator… This book has all the creatures in it! Wow!!”
Page 344 [2008-11-19 19:51:07 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
Confused, but curious, No One stands and looks
around. The
sky appears to have been painted with jewels. The moon appears large,
emitting
a soft, iridescent light that illuminates the whole of the surrounding
land. No
One is in awe at the scene unfolding before him. As he looks of into
the
distance, he sees another, strange light.
Page 343 [2008-11-19 03:01:34 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
No one lets himself fall backward into the soft
wheat. The
puppy jumps over No One and licks his face and hands. He gazes up at
the blue
sky above and sighs. As he watches the sky, it begins to darken. A
large, pale
orb appears amongst many sparkling dots. No One’s mouth goes slack at
the sight
and is left dumbfounded.
Page 342 [2008-11-19 02:31:49 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
Wandering through the darkened corridors, I am
Bored tucks
his prize under his arm. He hums and talks to himself, barely paying
attention
to anything other than his own chatter. “This book is awesome! I want
to read
more of it! Where is a light when I need one? I wonder who started
writing it…”
His chatter continues as he walks on.
Page 341 [2008-11-19 02:20:09 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
The steps to Bootes’ study seem longer and
steeper than the
last time he walked them. Exhausted from his return journey, he nearly
collapses upon entering. He unpacks his belongings and lies on his
couch. Sleep
quickly overtakes Bootes, and it is both deep and dreamless. He awakens
several
hours later, refreshed, and sends a message to Loreroot. “We Have a lot
of Work
to Do!”
Page 340 [2008-11-19 02:15:39 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
I am Bored’s search of the shelves and remaining
books ends
fruitlessly. He returns to the ashes of the fire and kicks it about. He
thinks
to himself, “Did I burn it? Oh well, I wonder if I can get out of
here?” I am
Bored turns and wanders away, completely oblivious to the newly opened
vault
behind him.
Page 339 [2008-11-17 06:32:02 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
Bootes fights to keep his head down as he
travels the path
out of Necrovion. He is excited and eager to pore over everything he
has found
so far. Somehow, the sky seems brighter and the wind almost warm. The
Howling
Gates appear quickly; Bootes smiles and laughs.
Page 338 [2008-11-17 04:23:50 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
With the vault door now open, Bootes searches
for what he
knows must be there. He marvels at the many books sealed within the
vault, all
of which are ancient. Yet, he knows they are also irrelevant. Opening a
marked
wooden box, Bootes sees what he needs. He leaves the vault while
stuffing the
documents into his pack. “To Finally be out of Here…”
Page 337 [2008-11-16 09:56:11 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
Bootes has some difficulty with the locks,
unsure of the
best way to use the key. He knows what he sees, but somehow it’s just
not all
coming together. Eventually, however, the first lock releases. He
continues and
manages to open all the locks on the door. He breathes a sigh of relief
and
smiles.
Page 336 [2008-11-16 09:55:04 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
No One and the puppy march to the edge of the
field to
investigate. He gingerly touches the bubble with his finger; it bounces
and
wiggles but remains intact. No One laughs a bit and looks toward the
sky, which
appears bright and blue within this separated space. The puppy barks
and runs
around No One’s legs, seeking his attention.
Page 335 [2008-11-16 09:53:54 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
Relaxing a bit, No One picks up the puppy which
licks his
hands. Suddenly, the dark land turns into a field of golden wheat. A
shimmering
bubble surrounds him and the field. Through its transparent layer,
though, he
can see the horrific landscape outside. No One stands, gaping in
amazement of
the peaceful, still, and beautiful setting.

Not wanting to stay any longer than he must,
Bootes hastily
searches for the documents. The House makes Bootes feel ill at ease and
unsettled. While checking one chamber, he sees the remains of a fire
and, upon
further exploration, discovers a strange door. Click >here< to
help
Bootes figure out what to do.
Page 333 [2008-11-07 19:43:49 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
The House is shadowy and has a strange odor,
sharp and
acrid. Pale light from outside filters through the windows, yet does
not
illuminate anything. The air is thick with a haze. Is it smoke? Bootes
looks
around the entrance and sees several doors. He mumbles to himself,
“Where is a
Map when I Want One?”
Page 332 [2008-11-07 19:42:52 - The Inner Sun -
Iam.]
I am Bored sighs happily and closes the book he
had been
reading. “I’m keeping this!” he says. The fire has all but gone out;
the embers
of random books, lost forever, smolder quietly and fade. I am Bored
looks
around at the shadows for a moment. He stands, saying, “I want more
books like
this!” and leaves the dying fire behind.
Page 331 [2008-11-07 18:37:37 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
The path before him is broken and cracked, thick
with dust
and devoid of life. The sky is dark and the silence is eerie and
disturbing.
The silence is shattered by a soul- wrenching scream from somewhere
nearby.
Bootes picks up his pace, “The sooner I get this done…” He finally
arrives at
the entrance to the dark house and hesitates.
Page 330 [2008-11-07 03:34:16 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
The shadows swirl before No One. Their twisted
shapes
taking form, they manifest into something he recognizes: a small puppy.
He
begins to calm, reaching out to play with the puppy. The dog looks at
No One
strangely, but then wags its tail and barks happily. This is the first
times No
One finds solace in anything since entering this place. He is content
to let it
happen and hopes it lasts.

No One squeezes his eyes shut and screams until
his throat
is raw. He opens his eyes to find he is alone. He tries to walk, but
stumbles
instead, dust pouring from his mouth. He breaks into a run but the
shadows
persist in their cruel game. Twisted shapes curl around him trying to
consume
his very soul. No One cries out in terror and panic, though none can
hear him.
Page 328 [2008-11-07 00:07:56 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
Bootes exits Sage’s Keep, squinting a moment at
the bright
light. He greets people as he walks the streets of Marind Bell on his
way
towards No Man’s Land. His stroll is short and leisurely. He watches as
various
groups train and spar or go about their business. Bootes finally
arrives as the
Howling Gates and takes in the bleak scene set before him and takes a
few cautious
steps and then enters Necrovion.
Page 327 [2008-11-07 00:07:28 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
Bootes lifts the lid of the box, eager to
discover what is
inside. He pulls out a strange object and studies it for a moment. It
is long
and metallic with several sliding pins set at right angles to each
other. He
also notices there are letters on the pins. Bootes turns it over,
slides a few
of the pins back and forth, noticing how they lock in place. “Is… is it
a Key?”
Page 326 [2008-11-06 00:52:54 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
No One hears faint whispers and sits up quickly,
eyes wide
and looks around but only sees the barren trees. The whispers continue,
vague
yet insistent. Shadows play at the edges of his vision which then draw
closer
to No One. The whispers are now louder and change, becoming hissing,
moaning,
screeching… Eventually, No One cannot distinguish his screams from
those of the
shadows…
Page 325 [2008-11-05 18:22:44 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
Looking behind him as he runs away from the
shadows, No one
misses the tree root jutting up from the ground and goes down in a
heap.
Looking at the root, he begins to scream in wide-eyed terror. The root
isn't a
root at all! Trembling and shaken, he tries to slide away from it as
something
rushes past him on the other side. Overcome, he faints in the darkness.

No One continues his wander through the gloomy
wasteland,
slightly paranoid. Nervously walking, he trips and sh0uts to the
shadows, “Hey!
I saw you trip me!” He whirls around, seeing nothing, no one.
Hysterically he
says, “Am I going crazy?!” He runs; frantically watching his back as
the wind
howls and the lonely darkness prevails.

Bootes sits down at the desk and looks over the
wooden box.
The mark of the Inner Sun fades on the box’s lid and is replaced with a
picture, only it appears broken and scrambled. Bootes touches the lid
and sees
that the pieces move and fit together in a pattern. After some time,
Bootes
smiles as the last piece clicks into place. A congratulatory message
displays
and the box unlocks. Congratulations to Awiiya for solving the quest
correctly!
Page 322 [2008-11-04 05:10:56 - The Inner Sun -

After searching for what feels like days, Bootes
discovers
a wooden box with some papers on a desk tucked away in the corner of
the vast
study. He notices that all of the items bear the mark of the Inner Sun.
Bootes'
curiosity is piqued by the wooden box, which rattles when picked up.
"Hmm?
What is This?" Click >here< to find out.
Page 321 [2008-11-03 19:13:44 - The Inner Sun -

No One continues his trek through the blasted
wasteland he
has found himself in, leaving the crackling fire to burn alone without
him. The
land appears dead and the sky is dark. No One stumbles upon a cross
roads of
sorts with a well in the center, though he finds no life here, either.
All he
does find is harsh wind, thick dust, and more darkness...and a vase...
Page 320 [2008-11-03 18:03:05 - The Inner Sun -

Bootes winds his way through the twisty
corridors of Sages
Keep and marvels at the maze-like complexity of the interior. He
follows the
faded map to a set of doors at the end of the hallway. Bootes opens the
doors
to reveal a large study like room surrounded by walls lined with rows
of
scrolls and books. He enters the study and begins searching through the
documents for the one that will continue his quest.

Page 319 [2008-11-03 04:58:08 - The Inner Sun -

As Bootes approaches the illuminated pedestal he
stops in
his tracks and chuckles. "Another map? Are You kidding Me?" He
studies it for a moment and realizes it appears to directs him through
the
winding maze-like hallways of the Keep. He sets out with map and candle
in
hand.
Page 318 [2008-11-03 04:51:15 - The Inner Sun -
Noo.]
No one wanders around within the dark for a
while before
stumbling upon a large open fire. Approaching it slowly he mumbles to
himself,
"Huh, I didn't know there was a fire here. I thought there were only
shadows."
Page 317 [2008-11-03 01:31:42 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
Bootes walks through the ornate doors of Sages
Keep to find
a long corridor; there is an air of mystery and serenity about the
area. At the
far end of the hallway is a pedestal illuminated by candle light.
Bootes
believes he may have found what he is looking for! He stands for a
moment, in
reverence, before journeying towards the end of the long hallway.
Page 316 [2008-11-02 07:58:23 - The Inner Sun -
Bo.]
Inspiration flashes in Bootes eyes and he slowly
smiles.
“Sand”, he says to the lions. The Lions eyes lose their fire and they
are
lifeless once again. Bootes hears a large crack and the lions begin to
crumble.
He reaches the entrance just in time and turns to see that huge chunks
of stone
and rubble now block the entrance forever. Bootes heaves a heavy sigh
and walks
into Sages Keep. Congratulations Burns for solving the quest so quickly!

While reading the creature book and looking at
the nice
detailed artworks everything seems to become alive. Bored feels
completely
emerged into the descriptions and for a moment he feels himself on the GolemusIsland near the Drachorn Lair,
enjoying
the refreshing sea breeze ad forgetting about the dark corridors he is
actualy
in.
Page 314 [2008-10-31 02:45:30 - The Inner Sun -

Bootes winds his way to the rear of Sage's Keep
to find two
lion statues. Upon examination, the lions spring to life and roar,
"Give
us the Answer we seek, and you will find Entrance to this keep."
Startled,
but not deterred, Bootes readies himself for their challenge. "What is
the
Question you will Ask of Me?" Can you help Bootes? Click >here< Back

Page 313 [2008-10-27 17:09:53 - The Inner Sun - Bo.]
While Bootes is asking around for help at the local pub, a regular
patron stops him and hands him a parchment, "This might help you on
your path." As Bootes unrolls the parchment he realizes it's a map to
Sage's Keep, but it shows something different. Bootes turns to offer
thanks but the patron is gone.
Page 312 [2008-10-25 00:02:50 - The Inner Sun - Bo., Pen.]
Bootes and Penelope are quietly studying the ancient documents when
without warning Penelope slams her first on the desk in frustration,
"We must be missing something! This can't be all of them, can it?"
Bootes stands, "I'll check the pub. You try and figure out what you
can."
Page 311 [2008-10-24 23:03:40 - The Inner Sun - Iam.]
At the light of the fire he can see the enormous ammount of books in
that place. He takes one of them and after looking briefly over it he
puts it on the fire to keep it burning. "A good time for a break ..
lets see what we have here ...". Bored pulls out a big dusty book "Rare
creatures ... hmm that sounds interesting". The pages are decorated
with gold foil and beautiful artworks. "Rustgold Drachorn .... woaaa
this one looks nice", he surfs the pages while the fire continues to
burn and cast strange shades allover the place.
Page 310 [2008-10-24 00:22:26 - The Inner Sun - Iam.]
Imb’s anxiety grows, but still the quiet darkness does not relent.
Making matters worse, gloom is now joined by a biting chill. “I'll
start a fire while I wait.” Imb produces a small tinderbox from his
pocket and quickly rubs the flint together. Sparks leap onto some dry
pages but quickly fade as if the darkness is just too great to allow
the fire to penetrate it.
Page 309 [2008-10-23 07:39:37 - The Inner Sun - Iam.]
Imb's impatience with the dark and stillness grows more with each
passing breath. "I might leave this place if whoever is holding me here
comes and speaks with me and explains what I am doing here!" Bored
screams into the darkness and hurls a book which lands nowhere in
particular. Imb's screams echo through the dark corridors as he slumps
in a dark, forgotten corner, waiting for a reply. Back

"Ummmm i think a storm is
comming
... lets go back inside". "No, its
not a storm, we are indeed in Necrovion, those are..", jumping around
trying to stay on one leg, Bored interrupts Noone "Lets go count the
books, should be fun in total darkness!". Amazed by Bored's total
ignorance, Noone walks away adventuring into Necrovion while Bored
returns to the dark corridors. None of them knows exactly where they
are going or what they are searching for in this deserted place.
Page 307
[2008-10-18 00:42:27 - The Inner Sun - Iam. Noo.]
"We are finaly out!!" Imb
jumps
around happy while Noo stares at the
dark sky. "Whats wrong?" , "Nothing, just that this is the closest
thing i ever seen too whats called NIGHT", "neah..its just a dark
sky..we exited in Necrovion it seems", Noo looks at Imb "How can we be
in Necro u dumbass, last time i remember we were traped in the
Archives, thats FAR away."

00:38:33 - The Inner Sun - Iam. Noo.]
After a long time, when their
hope
was at its end, the dark corridor
finaly ends. A small wooden door takes them in a big hall. A dark
clouded sky can be seen through the broken windows of the hall.
Page 305 [2008-10-18
00:31:54 - The Inner Sun - Iam. Noo.] The corridors become narrower
and
huge spider webs block the way.
Terrified by the ideea of remaining in that dark place, 'No one' and 'I
am bored' continue to walk. Books allover the place, broken shelves,
the place looks deserted, a huge library forgotten by time.
Page 304 [2008-10-15 22:38:38

Singing to hide his fear of the dark place he is
in, Bored
walks along No one searching for somthing, anything, and if they are
lucky
maybe a way to exit that place. The books are unreadable because of the
darkness but some look realy big and heavy. "whats the point of a
library
if its in such darkness?" .. "Shut up! you are annoying me!" Back

In her study room nelya tryies to figure ouw more
about the
documents she found. Lines over lines that connect into strange symbols
and a
description about something called the inner sun. Suddenly all seems to
connect. The symbols have a meaning only in relation with the other
docs, she
realises that she has to find all of them in order to understand their
meaning.

While running on the dark corridors, suddenly he sees someone walking
slowly across one of them "Who is there?! Anyone? ..No one?" , No one
steps closer "What ? where am i? who are you? oh .. Bored, where are
we?", "I think its a corridor of the arhives, last thing i remember is
that i was telling everybody about some documents i found..then..here"

"Hello? anybody here?" Bored by boredom itself, he
has to face total solitude in a dark corner of the archives, somewhere
forgotten by all, with no one to hear his annoying talk. "No one is
here
to listen to me, i will go insane, no, this cant be true!" He starts
running on the corridors like a mad man, but in the darkness there
seems to be
no door, no stairs, no way of exiting that place.

Alerted by the rumors, people start to talk about
the
misterious papers but nobody seems to actualy know anything more.
Somewere in a
safe place, Bootes tries to find more about the docs. They speak about
a
"inner sun", what could that be, the recent movement of the Sun seems
to be documeted in these docs that look ancient but how is that
possible when
this just happend after the Shade ballance situation? More questions
rise and
some even sugested its not the sun that these talk about.

His bones hurt and a cold air fills his lungs. All
things
start to move slow around him and to fade. He can still hear voices of
people
speaking around him. "Where do we put him now, the prison is not ready
yet", "we could ...kill him..maybe?" , "no we must make him
believe he is insane... make people believe he is insane, and they will
forget
what he said. Lets close him in the dungeon for now, the shades will
take care
of the rest." Back

Shouting allover, a character that always feels
bored and
tries to find ways of entertaining himself, "i am bored" called by
some, runs with a parchment and talks about the sun that is moving,

painted
cloaks appear. "Catch this heretic!!".

"Lady Nelya, welcome, what business so far away
from
Loreroot?" With a strange look in her eyes, Nelya unfolds a perchment
in
front of Bootes, "Have you ever seen such a thing?". At first sight
he knew its about the same kind of documents he and Pen discovered in
the
archives. "Yes, and i think there are more, don't talk about this with
anyone else, it seems the Arhivists don't want peopl to find out,
untill we
find more about what these sketches mean we must keep it secret. I fear
there
is a dark secret behind all this".

"There is a small group of people that know about
this,
when we first discovered them we tried to ask the archivists about them
but
their reaction was at least strange. I also know none of these
documents were
here, it all started to happen recently when the sun started to
move",Bootes listens fascinated, "Are you sure? you are actualy
saying the documents appeared?..but they look ancient". Pen whispers
"The documents are not the only thing that appeared after the sun
started
to move..."

"Penelope, good that you are here, i want to show
you
something i found in the archives" Bootes pulls out some old papers and
spreads them on the table. "Oh, there are more?", "What do you
mean there are more, you have more of these documents?" Pen pulls
Bootes
aside "We should not talk here, its not safe, lets go.."
Page 293 [2008-10-13 01:48:23

Dark thoughts start to come into his mind. "maybe
the
shades wrote it to spread chaos and mistrust among us...maybe the
archives hold
more secrets...what if i was not suppose to see this..what if.." Fear
and
confusion make him see and hear things that are not there. "I must keep
my
mind clear" ... he puts the document in a safe place for later
investigation.
Page 292 [2008-10-13 00:28:45

"The documents are right, they are never
wrong...never!..." Bootes looks at the same page over and over,
something
is strange, maybe the person that wrote the document was insane, but
then..how
could it pass the archivists controll when it was added to the Archives? Back

Phrog's spirit immediately escapes the log and
deftly seeps
into the Drachorn's Lair. In the lair, it binds its personality to two
of the
drachorns tied down by many little people. The drachorns' powers grow
immensely, and they break their bonds. Phrog's spirit is so completely
filled
by the drachorns' presences, that it takes a physical form once more.
Phrog is
the master of flames, a true firestarter that has the ability to
motivate
drachorns to escape the little people with new masters sent by phrog's
influence.

With balance returned to the land, the people

notice
the shifting of clouds to original locations. More noticeably, there

be something moving in the sky... "The... the sun's moving! Look!"
Someone points to the sky and many people begin clamoring. What could

Phrog's spirit is carefully carried across the
Bridge to
Golemus Golemicarum encased in the log he once carried. Energy is

A voice speaks to Phrog's spirit, and the
reasoning excites
him. This might work! He allows the person to basically stuff his soul
into the
log he had been carrying around with a body. "Heave ho!" shouts the
ecstatic helper, and carries Phrog to the Gates of Ages.
Wodin stares at Yrthilian for a long while before
answering
slowly. "I spent a great deal of time fighting shades. Now, they are
gone,
and I see that we didn't even have to fight them to destroy them. There
is much
to be learned from this lesson. There ARE times that we must fight, and
there
ARE times that we can find a better way. But, we must first find the
wisdom to
judge which of these is true. I have gained wisdom in this cold war,
and would
like to pass this wisdom on to the young ones of this world." Yrthilian

Phrog's spirit is starting to look a little dreary
when the
clouds give way and sunshine pours down upon his freezing soul, and
gives him a
little strength to move once more. Looking to see his temporary savior,
he sees
only the passing of a silent figure holding an umbrella. "It would seem
I
have enough energy to move once more..I should act quickly with this
breath of
life."
Yrthilian stands before Wodin, dagger in hand,
poised to
strike. Wodin knows that his strings of fate only stretched as far as
battle
with the shades. With them more or less gone, he stands only with his
personal
whims to face. Yrthilian hesitates, not wanting to lose the Master.

"Mastter...massterrr....." the shades almost

After much debate, Renavoid is quite sure the
alliances will
not be able to agree with each other. They are too set in their ways to
ever
truly accept such a thing. Until they have learned to work together

no such treaty will be able to exist between them all.

Raven and Khalazdad the Black are moments away

one.." The master spy stops for a second "Wait, we might still need
them afterall, i don't think they told us all their secrets yet. But
TORTURE
The Messenger, find out where he got his info from...now GO!".
Satisfied
by the results of the mission, the secret and newly created spy
alliance does
not realise the social implications of their actions yet.

People all over the world are shocked by the
takeover of the
alliances. Riots and fires start allover. Former leaders and warriors
of the
alliances gather to decide what they should do. Deep inside necrovion,
the last
remainin shades hope for the unballance to be restored so that they
continue
their dark experiments.

WHAATTT?? ... "Yes Dark Master ... they all died,
the
alliances are disbanded". "No, NOOOOO! If they don't restore their
power, our power will be forgotten, the shades ...will be forgotten ..
if we do
not have a counterballence outside necrovion, our purpose is lost" The
Sentinel turns towards its smaller minions "Go to inner necro, announce
all shades to stop the experiments, we need to reconsider our plans...
it seems
humans are indeed unpredictable."

The Messenger shouts he's desperate messages
allover but no
one hears him. With an extraordinary well synchronized attack, spies
allover
the world start their wave of assassinations killing alliance members
and
taking over millitary factions one by one. At their desk, the game
mechanics
study special reports from allover the world. "Please remember me to
silence that mad man, but first ..i need to know how could he find out
about
this masterplan". "Dst, you realize what will happen if this plan
fails?..." Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
"Btw, who is The Messenger? and how could he
predict
this?" .. "We do not know, but he will die for this" after a
moment of silence, all pretended they forgot the question and moved
on..
"The war needs to be stopped, or ..prevented... The recent discovered
documents can not be made public, but we must take action immediately!
It seems
that the alliance leaders wont hear any reasons, ...peace.. my fellow
spies...is an illusion, illusions are lies...and the shades can not
lie.
Necrovion spies, you know that too...We all know what to do. Dst and No

In a secret location, master spies gather for a
very
important matter. "We all seek to server our lands the best we can, but
this time is in our common interest to work together...". "- Ah shut
up, a shade speaking about collaboration"."- I am not a shade, i am
still human afterall" "-Enough arguing, we have here also two skilled
game mechanics to aid in OUR mission, we might all be skilled spies but
they
know better the secrets of the world than we do". The discussions
continue..

As though some ethereal force compelled the
robotic puppy to
return and aid phrog, it did. This time, consciously. The puppy began
speaking
like an amphibian, trying to make phrog, often mistaken for a frog,
understand
his idea. Then, with a mighty "GUAU!" it sent of gust of flames
toward phrog, pushing his consciousness all the way to the Aramory. All
phrog
recalls of the incident was thinking, "Why is it barking in Spanish?"
Raven walks to the Road of Battles and sits on the
ground
near Master Wodin while waiting to hear word of the Necros' decision.
"You
know," says the Illusionist, "If this goes through, you'll be able to
start helping that dojo like you want to." The mighty warrior lays back
in
the grass, "Aye...wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Raven's presence attracts the attention of many
Necros, and
they congregate, speaking with him, and hearing the terms of his offer.
Most of
them are skeptic and make snide remarks on the subject. Nonetheless,
Raven
takes his leave with a parting phrase, "48 hours."

Phrog's spirit is hesitantly gliding from side to
side on
the road, slowly advancing. Then, by chance it seems, he spies a
robotic puppy
walking by, and latches onto it. The ride is much fiercer than he
anticipated
though, and he lets go at the House of Liquid Dust. "That worked...but
WOW
did it hurt.." Back

Inner Necro is more darker than usual. Only minor
shades
swarm outer necro attracted by Raven presence, shades without their own
identity. Something gathered the powerfull shades deep inside necro
while
outside the Necrovion alliance searches for a voice to speak to their
masters.
The latest events triggered a mass reaction, one that schollars
predicted but
never believed it will actualy happen. Rain drops from the sky as if
Aqune were
endlessly crying.
Page 259 [2008-09-23 19:50:35 - The Shade Ballance

"I knew mortals will damage us more than help us
.. but
it was a needed sacrifice we had to do". The Shade swarms undecided
towards Inner Necrovion. A desperate mortal soul shouts behind it
"Master
what shall we do, who will lead us?" The Shade stops for a second and
thinks .. "Lead..towards what.." then resumes its way.
Raven's presence at the Howling Gates attracts the
attention
of the Necros, and they begin gravitating toward him, curious to see
what he is
doing so far from the forest which he serves. Maybe he has come to
sacrifice
himself!
Page 257 [2008-09-22 19:47:49 - A Freezing

Where are they going? Phrog's spirit desperately
tries to
cling to anyone walking by. The whispers have ceased, and he can't see
people
trying to understand him anymore. He begins to feel again. Should
spirits be
able to feel anything? Perhaps not physical, but his heart longs for
something
distant, and now his essence begins drifting in that direction.

.Raven. stands with a new parchment in his hand
and grins.
"This shall be a great day for Loreroot!" He hastens from Raven's
Peace to the Howling Gates to present his proposal to the stricken
Necrovion
Sentinels. With any luck, they will agree swiftly, though negotiations
are
expected.

The Necrovion Sentinels begin meeting together,
trying to
determine what they need to do now without their leader. Of course,
they must
also decide who will be their NEW leader. Despite the relative chaotic
matter,
though, they appear rather organized. Organized or not, Necrovion
itself still
feels unbalanced... Back

Phrog's spirit hears the whisperings of a few of
the people
that are good enough to stop and try to help him. He hears one of the
ideas
being discussed and can't help his excitement. "Yess! Yes! That's it!
That's it! Ohh, so close!"
Page 253 [2008-09-15 23:40:59 - A Freezing

Phrog's spirit listens in horror to some of the
ideas the
people come up with and decides to try and tell them more about what he
seeks.
"A fire that pulls on my spirit. Powerless to move to what attracts me.
HE
controls access to what should be my legacy. Nearly saved me, but left
me
cold."

After the victorious campaign against the Necros,
the
victors decided to go to the Path of Loneliness with the tree and
celebrate. In
all the cheer, the tree seemed to blossom with good fortune as well.
Page 251 [2008-09-14 22:33:09 - The Shade Ballance

Without their leader and connection to the Shades,
the
Necrovion Sentinels begin arguing amongst themselves. Who should obtain
leadership of the alliance, and what does this mean for the alliance's
purpose?
Surely losing the Black would only make more imbalance.
The battle harmed Khalazdad greatly. He was nearly
collapsed, when the SageWoman came by the sight of the battle and
offered a
blood sacrifice for the Dark One. Seeing the bright light before him,
and
hearing its call, he yields to that temptation and is made whole as
Khalazdad
the Grey once again. Being half shade, he still sees past and future as
a fluid
motion, and retains the ability to become either the Black or the White
in times
of imbalance.

Over by the House of Liquid Dust, armies begin to
collide in
a single battle to determine what shall come next in the world. Fierce
swords
swing at each other as creatures fight desperately to keep their
masters alive.
Many fall quiet in the process. Back

Renavoid pauses in his writings to look up when
the
conspirators begin passing through his office from the private balcony
out into
the rest of the Archives. SmartAlekRJ pauses next to the Master
Archivist.
"It is time. We ride now. I trust your pen shall account the events?"
A smirk, "I trust your drachorns won't fail to make the events
accountable?" RJ snorts and runs from the room. "CHAARRGGE!"
Page 247 [2008-09-14 06:18:52 - The Shade Ballance
- Kh.]
Somewhere in the back of his mind, Khalazdad feels
what he
seeks drawing closer. "I can still do this. I must find the woman, and
bring her with me.." Feeling a new energy, he swiftly sends word for
the
woman, and walks toward the House of Liquid Dust to meet his fate head
on.
Page 246 [2008-09-14 05:53:03 - A Freezing

"That was so refreshing! But...it's still not what
I
seek..." Phrog's spirit settles near the Howling Gates to watch some of
the people passing by. "Perhaps one of them can help me find what I
seek." Several pass without notice. "Hmm...which one is most likely
to help..I suppose I could give them some clues if they take a moment
to
listen..."
The silence is oppressing. Braiton looks up and
sees a
single dark egg at the center of the magic circle where the drachorn
had been.
Throwing his head back Braiton laughs uncontrollably at his new toy.
Braiton
now has the ability to create Mutated Dragons out of the Golemus
Drachorns. The
Drachorn Experimentalist's power is sure to be well renowned.
Page 244 [2008-09-13 03:58:18 - The Shade Ballance

Khalazdad feels some great force pulling at his
very being.
"What is this? I cannot feel so compelled without a conscious." His
eyes are completely hazed over, and when his mind clears, he notices
that he is
staring in the direction of the House of Liquid Dust. "It is there...
so,
the time has come. This is what I felt.."
Renavoid is scribbling on one of his documents
when some
loud shouts from the balcony causes his hand to jerk, smearing the ink
on the
page. Growling, Ren picks up a new sheet to write on. "They sure are
loud...on the other hand; they sound excited, so something good must
have
happened." He continues his scribbling. Back

The roar becomes deafening as the swirling colors
become
dark and spin at their core. The shape and size of the body shifts.
Magical
energy electrocutes the air around the forming creature. A deep
darkness pulls
all of the energy in toward the center of the pentagram, and then an
unseen
pulse throws Braiton to the ground. Silence commences.
Page 241 [2008-09-12 10:08:53 - The Shade Ballance

SmartAlekRJ returns and steps into the open air of
the
balcony where everyone is locked 'in.' He kicks a few sleeping people,
"Hey! Get up! This meeting was your idea originally, but now I'm taking
it
over, so wake up or I'll sic my drachorns and little people on you!"
Page 240 [2008-09-11 19:55:47 - The Shade Ballance

Feeling something truly horrific on the horizon,
Khalazdad
begins wandering the lands, foretelling many things to his followers in
a
hollow voice. He seems distant, yet so personal. His followers can tell
something is wrong, but through no fault of their own, they cannot
determine
WHAT.
Page 239 [2008-09-11 19:46:25 - The Shade Ballance
- Br.]
When he opens his eyes once more, Braiton is
holding a dark
orb that is emitting thunderous roars of outrage. The pentagram begins
to glow
a blood red, and the drachorn’s body is slowly overcome by the same
swirling
eldritch colors. As the drachorn’s soul leaves its bodily essence,
Braiton
forces the black orb into the remaining essence on the ground.
Page 238 [2008-09-11 19:42:47 - A Freezing
Firestarter]
Feeling free from his physical body, phrog's
spirit feels a
moment of pure joy at the freedom, and decides to take a few days to
simply
roam the world free of the troubles it provides to a person.
As SmartAlekRJ goes around creating the complete
list of
people he needs to attend this meeting he is now taking charge of,
Renavoid
stands at the doorway to the private room and slowly unlocks it to let
in the
people one at a time. As each one files in, he closes the door and
bolts it
behind them. Back

Khalazdad's nightmares are becoming more frequent
now. It's
starting to effect him more physically even. Queasiness and vomiting at
odd
moments. He honestly feels like his soul has been ripped apart and is
straining
with all its might to pull itself back together, but there is something
preventing it.
Page 235 [2008-09-10 20:06:04 - The Shade Ballance

The army is looking good now. After Wodin was
brought back,
another treaty was signed with the LoreRoot army, and training picked
up as
usual. Wodin is now completely prepared for whatever may come. And come
it
shall.

Taking his place back at the head, Braiton began
the
incantation. Thrice it was repeated before Braiton’s mind’s eye
darkened, and
he sees only an eldritch of swirling colors. He sifts through the
ebbing tides
of consciouses until he finds the one he seeks. Grasping it tightly, he
pulls
it with him back towards his own consciousness.
Page 233 [2008-09-10 19:14:41 - A Freezing

All physical feeling is absent. phrog's body is
gone, and
the pain of the flames is no longer present. But something is still
there.
Something, pulling powerfully in the air. What is it? For one reason or
another, phrog's spirit remained behind the mutilated corpse that once
belonged
to him.
SmartAlekRJ comes to the office of the Archivist,
Renavoid,
and asks a favor of him. Renavoid considers for a moment, "It does seem
the most likely. Very well, you can use my private office for your
meeting.
Call in your colleagues." RJ snarls, "They came to me! We are not
colleagues, just...hate Necros."

Deep in Necrovion, dark figures gather around a
tethered
Golemus Drachorn. Braiton brings forth a bright dagger and uses it to
slice the
Drachorn’s throat. The single heartless act instantly taints the dagger
a black
that seemed to suck the light from the very air around it. Sneering,
Braiton
uses the blood on the dagger to paint a special pentagram all around
the
drachorn. Back

The flames grow hotter and engulf phrog's body
completely.
Those standing near him and trying to drag him back from the fire had
to step
back in horror as the flames totally incinerate his body, and turn it
to little
more than dust and some lumpy shapes.

A struggle begins. Those who tried to help phrog
are
attacked by the Necro kids who want to imprison him. In the chaos,
phrog's body
is pushed closer to the flames, and his clothes ignite. In an instant,
his body
is almost totally consumed in flames.

A group of people led by Tremir grabs phrog's body
and pulls
him to the Howling Gates, then takes him into Necrovion to the large
fire in
the Way of Cleansing. His body is set near the flames so he can begin
to warm
once again. Hopefully this time the flame will not die out and he will
begin to
stir again soon.
Page 227 [2008-09-08 20:05:37 - A Freezing

The flames die completely now, and phrog lies on
the ground
shivering involuntarily. If someone doesn't do something fast, he's
going to
freeze to death! A small crowd of people is already surrounding him
now, but
most are waiting for ferries to Golemus. Are there no kind souls among
them?

Probably due to his "nightmare", Khalazdad almost
didn't notice the SageWoman returning. Gritting his teeth, he stands
once more
and addresses her in his menacing manner. When she leaves once more, he
cannot
help but grin...is it evilly?
Page 225 [2008-09-08 01:41:57 - The Shade Ballance

"Yeeesss......" Braiton can almost feel the power
surging within him. He swiftly walks back toward Necrovion and begins
setting
up for his experiment. "Just a little longer...just a little
longer...!!" In answer to a whimpering behind him, he kicks the cage
again.

SmartAlekRJ stands at the entrance to the Magic
Duel Archives.
"Very good..don't have to put up with those Necro kids here...Now just
to
start sending out new invitations." He steps through the front entrance
and starts walking toward the mansion. Back

Upon returning from Golemus, Wodin promptly took
measures to
hide it. It would seem that many kiddies are asking the master if he
knows
where it is. They'll never find it like this! heh.

Oh no! The drachorns have left the area...phrog
watches in
horror as the flames fight to stay lit, but they cannot keep warm.
Freezing
once more, phrog drops immediately back into a deep sleeplike state
with no
flames to comfort him.

Khalazdad wanders through the crowds, occasionally
talking
to a person or more. Behind him follows confusion. He keeps telling
people to
help him. What's going on? With a jerk, Khalazdad sits up at the
Howling Gates,
having fallen asleep once again. "Nightmares..."
Page 220 [2008-09-06 20:55:11 - A Freezing

The flames are so...beautiful. Phrog can't look
away from
the flames, they're so...enchanting. They grow warmer, and the flames
reach
higher. Snaping to, he leans back and notices that the flames are
starting to
grow a little out of control. Smoke and flames begin swirling up into
the sky.

Looking from side to side, noticing people walking
by,
SmartAlekRJ suddenly realizes why he isn't getting the responses he
needs. He
kicks out vehemently at a passing Necro Kiddy. "Fine, I'll call them to
a
more discreet location!" With that, we walks off to find somewhere new.

"FINALLY!" With the Festival finally here for the
first time, Braiton begins strutting his stuff, trying to obtain the
recognition he needs so desperately at this time. Now maybe I'll be
able to get
rid of that blasted thing!

Sadly, all good things must come to an end...or at
least
taper off to a less exciting point. Many of the party-goers were
hardcore for
more action! But, as ideas began to drift, they were left listening to

idle babbling, and many went to sleep. A few still hang around, trying
to have
an ongoing party. Thanks for joining in with the community. :D Back

hauled
to the Main Lobby for mattress racing, and the Great Hall of the Sun

After that...consuming...chat, Khalazdad turns
back to his
more pressing matters. What could those visions be in his dreams?
What's
happening to him? Important questions, but perhaps first he must get
back to
preparing the troops, and naming his blade after Braiton...

Stirring ever so slightly, phrog opens his eyes
just barely
to seek the source of this new heat. Even now, groggily awake, he is
still
muttering to himself, "please light..." and now he sees that the
combined effort of the drachorns has caused the flames to come forth!
Thank you
for not letting phrog die!

Braiton paces back and forth by the cage
impatiently. WHY
can't I find them? Just then he sees someone running past carrying a
bright
purple box, muttering something about an upcoming festival. "The

That's it!" He greedily begins arranging himself for a favorable
impression at the Festival.

Khalazdad is just starting to stand once more when
he spies
SageWoman on the horizon. He has spoken with her before, and it would
appear as
though she is returning for another chat. These encounters always take
a great
deal out of Khalazdad, but he simply must endure!

Thoughts are delicate but powerful drops of life.
Formed
together, they may create something truly amazing. Apart, they might
crumble. A
small gathering of people brought more drachorns to phrog, and in his
unconscious state, he thought he could feel something warm by his face.

People are moving...and someone's talking. What
are they
saying? It all seems so bright until a dark spot approaches. Suddenly
Khalazdad
wakes with a jolt, still sitting by the Howling Gates. "What sort of
blasphemy..?"

After transporting the gifts from the archives,
Mur relaxes
a bit. "Not much untill the Festival beginns...hmmm...lets open a box
see
whats in it". He opens a big purple box, inside it several bottles of
champagne.
"Ohh..niceee...lest have a party, no one will notice they are missing
:D". Mur does a "pointless party" in the depth of the
undergorund, with free drinks for all. "look at them ...hk... ..so..hk
...zzzzz". Probably he will have a strong headache after :P. Outhere
one
of the spies thinks "Now that everybody is at Mur's party, its a good
moment to steal those docs ..hehehe"

"It's so good to have you back, Master Wodin!" The
army is ecstatic about the return of their leader. "Not now..I have
something I must do." Pushing the groupies out of his way, he walks
swiftly back to that Golemus beach and searches the sand. Spotting it
on the
ground, Wodin picks it up and puts it back on his belt, then returns to
the
Road of Battles.

Sadly, phrog gets no reaction out of his drachorn.
"Must be feeling as ill as myself..." He continues wandering and
finally drops to his knees by the Gates of Ages. Freezing, he slowly
loses
consciousness. The whole time he is muttering in his sleep, "please
light...please light..."

Fog lays down over the realm and the pale light
makes it
look like a wet morning, althouth everybody knows the sun never sets
nor raises

latest
rumors spread.

Reports of cruel murders terrify all alliance
leaders. It
seems that the tension between the lands has started to make people
more
powerful in their will and their fights actually kill the opponent.
There is no
proof that the shades may have something to do with this, although
rumors about
inner Magic used by the Shade Sentinel itself , have been heard. People
start
to seek the warmth of the sanctuaries or even the teachings of the
Dojo, but
others search for sharper swords and prepare for war. Back

A priestess spoke of a place to heal and study
rituals
without fear of attack. People gathered and asked, "What is this
place?" She replied, "The Dojo, a school where all ask for and
receive permission before attacking." Silence fell as all considered
this
new idea; then they cried out, "When? Where?" And the priestess said
"Now!". People all over the realm gather to receive the guidance and
training at the Dojo, some even offer to teach. The Shades tremble
before this

Khalazdad gets almost no rest now. Even in sleep
he feels
his mind wandering. Something, somewhere, is wrong. Sitting against the
wall by
the Howling Gates, he looks at his hand wearily. "Am I...beginning to
fade?"

SmartAlekRJ looks from side to side on the plains.
"Don't they know I'm not very patient?!" He begins pacing back and
forth, grumbling about the gall of people who want assistance. His
anger
getting the better of him, RJ pulls a clay model of a rabbit out of his
pocket,
puts it on the ground, and stomps on it.
"No YOU! Die for what you believe in!" Yrthilian
blocks the shouts about who would be the sacrifice from his ears to
read the
documents. A short passage excites him, and he raises the page to the
others.
"There's a loophole! Wodin has already been summoned here once! All we
need to do in order to have him back once more is perform this simple
spell!" They all gather in a circle to chant the incantation. A bright
light forms at the center of them, and a tall figure begins to take
shape.
"MASTER!" Wodin is back.
After the recent dispute finally comes to an end,
Yrthilian
receives the detailed documents concerning Wodin's summoning and
immediately
begins preparations to have him summoned back to our realm once again. Back

Dragging his feet further down the road, phrog
arrives at
the Aramory. There, he sees an old man sitting an having a drink with
some
drunkard who is babbling about dead messengers. Obtaining something
from our
creatures? Lifting the log in his hand, phrog calls forth the drachorn
of his
mind, and asks it to light the wood.

Braiton brandishes his flowing reward in front of
the
quivering, caged drachorn. "You see this? It is almost time! I hope
you've
already written your good bye letters!" Kicking the cage, he laughs out
to
the skies. Vehemence fills his lungs.
Yrthilian and Savelfuser sit across from each
other in the
grass at the Road of Battles. Conversation rages like tidal waves
between them,
until they slowly begin to ebb into an agreement. At last, they stand
and bow
respectfully to one another. "Yrth, old friend, you will do well in
this
capacity."

"So..cold..." Phrog's mind is mostly gone by now.
He cannot feel his own inner warmth. He can't even be bothered to look
to the
left as he passes several pleading Young Ones attempting, and failing,
to pass
their obstacles near the House of Liquid Dust.

Braiton spreads a large sheet of paper on a flat
surface and
begins scratching marks on it with some soft rock. "I can't believe I

needs.

A passing herd of Young Ones happen to trample the
sticks
Phrog was trying to ignite, and he begins to wander with a log in hand,
seeking
a place of peace. A towering, broken windmill looms just ahead of him,
though
he does not notice it. His eyes are lost, searching for the inner spark
to
drive his flames.

Not yet defeated, Phrog tries to break the sticks
up smaller
so they could burn easier. A group of people pass him with raised
eyebrows,
continuing their conversation, "I can't wait to see what the Seekers of

past,

While searching throu the alliance archives,
savelfuser
finds detailed documents on how to summon Master Wodin Ullr, the great
warrior.
He slowly realises what that means and that he has to keep his position
as
leader as long as he can.
"Oh you great one! ..thank you for teaching me
this
amazing magic!". Khalhazdad stares amazed at the dark fog rizing from
necrovions gates. With a shy step he passes throu the fog and exits on
the
other side of the world. "That could be a very good thing...or a bad
one..depends."

Sitting on the ground, Phrog notices some
engravings on both
sides of a piece of wood: STEVE and BOB. "Bob and Steve?
Like...together
forever? ...weird world.." Shrugging, he tries to rub several sticks
together and start a fire. A tiny flame appears, to his great delight,
but a
gust of wind smothers it instantly.
Khalazdad paces back and forth, steaming
vehemently at the
latest notification from the Master Assassin, omegaweapon. "Double?

him think he can push his way around the Sentinels like this! Of all

"Aha! Finally!" The drachorn in the cage seems to
whimper pitifully. Br spins violently and whacks a large stick against
the

"The thoughts are complete, the process can

Shocked by Wodin's depart, Golemus people realized

The darkness continues to eat at Wodin’s soul,

energy
leave, he feels his body returning to his home… Far away in Necrovion,
that one
cut thread severs the strings of life that BigC clung to for so long,

fades into the swirling shades. His legend will remain for generations

Grimacing at the repeated departure of their

Each of Alche's new existences senses a different
angle on the

Alche is at one with the principles, and as such can migrate between

whilst also manipulating the principles of others. He may never hold

Winds Sanctuary's peace is disrupted, as Glor
Damar
confronts Khalazdad. "Your light hides within Khalazdad", he taunts.
"I may free the white spirit at any time I please" , and with a
flourish, providing proof, he throws black powder upwards. Dancing
around the
settling dust, he whispers dramatically while Glor Damar watches
disbelieving,.
Khlazdad proclaims he's irrevocably severed from the light. "If you
don't
believe me, just ask Wodin", he cries as Glor Damar hurries away.

The view of the pile of dust fades away and Alche
sees now
himself walking towards a door of light. Passing the door makes him
realise
that he exited one of the several pyramids on top of mount Kelle'tha.
He walks
forward and see someone else walking towards him. "Who is that..it
looks
...oh no..it is...ME!!" Confused by his new state of existence, and by
the
appearance of himelf exiting at the same time each pyramid, Alches
ability to
judge the moment is blocked and makes him simply accept and follow the
events.
Everything is like a weird dream for him.
A figure gathers from darkness and its mind
connects to the
other shades in the realm. "Master, a human used the Kelle'tha
pyramid..". "I know, but i dont think he is a human anymore. We might
need him, if not on our side then at least to keep him away from
helping our
enemies...at least the Book is still there, locked by the very beeings
that
forgot how their own lock works... i think humans call that ..humor".

Alche looks shocked at the pile of dust gathered
below him.
The event happened too fast for him to realise. He remembers to try to
touch
the flaming pyramid, after enourmous attempts to reach it, but he does
not know
what exactly made him reach his goal. Maybe the path to the pyramid was
allready opened when he got there? Slowly he realises that he has no
longer a
body! His memmories begin to fade away but a new consciousness makes
him see
things from a totaly different view.

Excitedly reaching out to touch the flames,
Alche’s body is
immediately extinguished. Without any waning, a brave man’s very being
is
reduced to a pile of dust. A sudden gust of wind blows through the
opening, and
sends the dust up into the air, and outwards onto the breeze. The ashes
spread
into different air pockets, and a small amount comes to rest in each of
the
pyramids. Back

The excess of sensations propels Alche to a higher
level of
consciousness, where he feels his body begin to float away from the
ground. The
music begins to play faster and faster, the wind whips around his body,
stronger and stronger, the colours starts to spin, making him close his
eyes.
Just as he is beginning to feel nauseous, he abruptly stops. Looking
around him,
he discovers he has reached his goal.
Wodin is training hard in the midday heat. Without
warning
he feels a pull at his back, and turns into the sun. Shading his eyes
he sees
the shadow of a figure disappearing rapidly into the mirage rising from
the
dusty ground. Glowing in the shadow's hand is Wodin's dagger, Wodin
begins to
shake with rage.
The Shade Sentinel arrives at the Gate furious
that
Khalazdad has taken so long to transform. "I see, at last, the Darkness
is
rife within you, we began to fear your loyalty." "The price of power
is heavy" replies Khalazdad "but I will bear it.when will I take the
next step.?" "Have patience human, you would not even survive the
next transformation yet.you are to feeble. Now, go about your business."
Life is becoming very difficult for Khalazdad. His
paranoia
causes him to threaten an ally upon whom he is relying, friends desert
him;
Morgana Le Fey has branded him a traitor, and an agent of the shades
warns him
of assassins on his trail, but cannot provide him with any specifics
with which
to plan an attack. The Dark Lord has all but disappeared from this
frail and
tainted old man.

"Ah finaly, here it is!" After a exhausint
climbing, Alche reached top of Mount Kelle'tha. Six pyramids on the
ground
circle a huge floating one. A single pyramid sits aside from the
circle, an
interesting detail. "Here it is ...lets see ..where to start..".
Looking from a distance *Juni0r* keeps an eye on Alches actions.

Sitting on the dock, chewett stares down at the
water, which
had once flowed near the brick path, lapping at the base of the support
beam.
Without warning, the water level had receded. "But why?" He ponders.
His thoughts were interrupted when a messenger arrives with reports of
a new
theory regarding the Angiens. chewett nods slowly as he listens to the
news.
"Looks like the time has come," he says, "to turn our search
towards principles and magics."

In the bright light of day, the Master Assassin
cuts a deal
right before everyone’s eyes. With so many people passing by, who could
possibly notice such a nonchalant agreement taking place? Grinning
masochistically at the leather pouch of coins in his hand, the Master
Assassin
vanishes to await the call of his Contractor.

The rich Duke of Tempest Fort, Tsenn, is counting
his many
coins when he decides that he doesn’t want to die an old, haggard
nobody. He
dons his traveling clothes and has a servant fetch a chest of his
coins, then
sets off down the path towards the Road of Battles. There, he plans on
offering
his financial assistance to Wodin’s Army and those he deems worthy of
it. Back

Renavoid silently walks among the darker corners
of the
archives and pulls a single book from an untouched shelf. Returning to
the East
Corridor, he opens the book in front of the person waiting in the
shadows. “I
believe this is has the information you seek.” A sly grin creeps onto
the
stranger’s face.

Neyla sits and ponders on the latest information
she has
just received from allied nymphs in a far off land. The nymph provided
Neyla
with a nightmarish description of hearing truly blood chilling noises
from
within the mountain upon which it was walking. "Strange foraging and
scratching, like metal on stone.." a sound unlike any other ever heard
by
the inquisitive creature. Neyla shivers as she tries to imagine the
sound that
caused the brave nymph to sound so distressed.

As the storm clears, Alche steps from his shelter
and continues
his journey. Arriving at the foot of a bridge, he can see no further
than his
feet in the fog and has no idea how deep the ravine goes. In the
distance,
above the clouds of fog, he can see a towering mountain and a pyramid
floating
majestically above it. The anxiety closes his throat while his soul
opens to
the possibilities that lie ahead, reaching for the answers it desires.
“One
step at a time…”
Deep inside a Necrovion graveyard 4 figures gather
to
discuss tactical matters. "Great shade, i present you our loyal spy, he
successfully infiltrated one of the other alliances and is constantly
providing
us with valuable knowledge on their moves." , ... "So, human, are your
seeking for reward ...or for more...?". The 4 figures continue their
secret discussion. Enemy eyes look at the gathering from a distance but
they
can not identify all of the members. Dark clouds gather above necrovion

realm as humans step inside it.

Angiens have
lived for so long in Marinds Town but in times of need they did not

Suddenly someone screems "Looook , look there, the
lights!! ... white lights fromt the island .. its a sign! its a sign!!

everybody swarms to their spyglases and those who have none wait
impatiently to

The sky starts to clear , several days have passed
allready.
Alche almost thinks that the storm started because of him , but of
course thats
impossible. He resumes his jurney to retrieve the Principle Book.
"Mount
Kelle'tha seems so magnificent from a distance, its not that far, i am
almost

A group of people under the initiative side effect
gathered
at the Angiens ferry trying to contact the Angiens. Sol, Morrel,
Blackthorn,
GrandGhost, Aleron, Tremir, Eden, Aiedail and many others join their
forces to
find a way to contact the Angiens, creatures rumored to be of equal

Renavoid writes down his observations. "I noticed
a
strange effect of the Transposition Principle today, It might be
because of the
Shades stepping out their land lately and disturbing the Ballance
Principle.
While the ballance is taking shape between Necrovion and the other
lands, other
non fighting humans manifest a strange passion for research. Reports
say overall
initiative has grown in all lands."

Agitated by the move of forces in the realm, The

information
they can and store it in their logs for further reference.

A commander aprouches Khalazdad, "Your Dark
Majesty ,
we have a problem, our records are not big enough to keep track of all
our new
soldiers Not all of them are counted in the Necrovion millitary logs.."
Turning his sight away, Khal speaks more for himself, "Who cares, they
will die in battle anyway, no one will remember them...", "excuse me
Sir what did you say?", "Nothing, nevermind the records, gather me
new forces, we need to build a strong army for Necrovion". Under
Khalazdad
Leadership and his commanders, swarms of new recruits join the
Necrovion army.

Trying to controll his killing instincts, the
Knator thinks
of what kind of members he should recruit for his taskforce. "I do have
enough millitary power if needed, what i need are indeed warriors that
can
handle uncommon situations, where force might not be required. I dont
think
that the shades recruited humans because of their strenght".
Page 122 [2008-07-11 19:17:19 - The Shade Ballance

After a long day training new recruits, Wodin
takes a break
and starts thinking of why Knator said. "Why is he scared about shades
alliance with humans? afterall humans are more easy to kill than
shades..". Even if he doesn't know much about this, Wodin has a dark
feeling about it. "I will assemble a force ready to crush anyone and
ANYTHING ... "
After receiving many warnings from many people the
.Knator
Commander. decided to take action against the recent shade millitary
maneuvers.
He started an alliance and established an agreement with Master Wodin
Ullr to
join forces in case of need. Wodin will gather its own forces under
Golemus
command. Althou the shades are known for agressive actions this time
what
bothers Knator the most is that they allied with humans. There must be
a reason
for this change in the shades tactics.

The storm doesn't stop, Alche is allready wet,
even in
shelter and the weather is getting worse. While looking at his map of
Golemus,
he notices that in his location there is a storm marked on the map
..."how
can a storm be marked on a map?" , he looks more carefull on his map to
see if there are other strange markings. Outside the sky is getting
darker and

Agitated by the current events in Necrovion,
several
important warriors started to plan for a possible resistence or why not
even an
attack. Master Wodin awaits patient, hes knowledge about the shades
tells him
there is no need to panic for now, but others do not think that way.

Fascinated by the shade and fully understanding
its purpose
as a counterballance to what is happening outside Necrovion, Khalazdad
swears
loyalty to the shade and asumes responsability to gather an elite
taskforce to

to
humans, other players adventure into Necrovion and try to learn more
about

is comming so he decied to take shelter and continue his jurney tomorow.

"It is a SHADE!!" All scream in panic and hide
behind Khalazdad. "We come in peace!" sais Khalazdad a bit unsure on
his words. "Peace..hahhahaa..that will be your doom, human, you need
WAR
to survive, peace with the shades will only make you more...faded".
confused by what the shade said, Khal tries to find out more and als
learn more
about the shades.

Suddenly, Khalazdad started to divide into many
collors and
slowly he vanished away, Some of the people in front of the Howling
Gates
started to disolve into collored lights too, following Khalazdad into
Necrovion. The dark places looked fascinating for them but most feared
the
possible dengers. While inspecting the new place, they all gathered in
front of
a tunnel exit. None of them could enter it because the darkness was so
dense
that they all feared they will perish if they try to enter it. While
staring
into the dark tunnel, they noticed that it was moving and something was
comming
out of it....frozen in panic they watched how the dark figure was
taking shape.

Happy that he got confirmation from Akasha that
the Book of
Principles is easy to reach and it exists at the top of Mount
Kelle'tha, Alche
adventures deeper inside Golemus Golemicarum, heading towards the
mountain. As
he passes by a nearby cave he notices lots of small humanoid creatures
working
on what seemed to be a statue representing a bunny. Suddenly he hears
voice and
sees a man comming out of the cave. "What? what are you doing here?!
..destroy it immediatly!". Alche tries not to be noticed and walks away
as
fast as he can from that place. He cant afford any delay in his jurney. Back

Page 113 [2008-07-05 00:09:06 - The Shade Ballance]
A group of adventurers gathered together by
Khalazdad are
grouped in front of the Hawling gates trying to get in contact with the
Shades.
They even tried to bring them gifts and offerings in the hope they can
contact
them, without knowing, or without caring maybe of the dangers.
"Ah yes, that book, well i left it where it
belongs, in
the fires of the great pyramid, you may go and read it if you like. You
will
have to get a bit burned, but the book is nice." Alche looks a bit
confused "But ..but i heard you could not get it, and that you failed
to
retrieve it from the fire of the pyramid..is that not true?" Akasha
grinns
"Ah that was just for the people to know, but the book is there, i read
it, you go too, go and get it from the fire, its simple." Alche's face
enlightens "Thank you my dear, thank you very much, i knew the book is
there, i will go imediatly and seak for it, thank you again!" ....
Alche
departs as fast as he can heading to Mount Kelle'tha. "Fool old man, he
realy thinks i will tell him anything about MY book...let him search
untill he
quits this foolish thought ...ahh and even if..even if he manages to
reach the
pyramid...he will BURN hhahhahhaaa yes BURN ... he will burn as the
wizard
said".
"Good day!" the old man speaks "My name is
Alche, well its not exactly my name but its pronounced better that way
... i am
a traveler from the Archive Lands and i mean no harm to you, may i know
your
name?". Akasha a bit bored by this introduction and thinking about
things
tells him her name. "OHH, realy..you are indeed Akasha? the one that
tried
to get the Book out of the pyramids fire? I was searchign exactly for
you! i
come from far away in the search of the great knowledge of Golemus
Golemicarum,
rumored to be written in that Book, and i heard about you at the
Gazeebo of
gravitational sound and i hoped you could share your knowledge with me
about
that Book " Akasha looks a bit frightened at him and thinks "Who is
this fool man that thinks i will tell him about MY book of
principles...he
wants to steal it for sure.."
Akasha is convinced that the wizard was wrong. The
Book of
Principles does exist, and she intends to prove it, even if it means to
write
it herself....Blinded by her strange obsession for the principles she
does not
pay attention to all details in the letter. As she closes to the Bridge
of Ages
, she sees an mage looking old man approuching her.
"My dear foolish Akasha. I sent you on your quest
knowing that there is nothing there to find for you, i think its a
small thing
to do comparing to your intend to kill me. If you read this letter it
means i
am allready dead or the shades got me, but it also means that you
returned, and
i don't know wich ones story is more interesting to hear, yours or
mine. If i
managed to end my experiments then there is one more chance against the
shades,
go talk to Wodin. If i failed then you should return to the pyramid
where i
sent you for the Book of Principles and look for your death, because
that might
be the only thing to save you from the upcomming rage of the Shades. I
saw
great potention in you, even if you were sent against me, i do not
think you
have a dark soul, so even if you don't know it maybe, your path is
towards
light. Keep my words close as you might need them soon." Akasha takes
the
letter and leaves the deserted place, there is nothing else she can do
there
now. Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
After sarching the entire place, Akasha cant find
any clue
of where the Wizard might be. The deserted place and all the things
left
unattended indicate her that he left in a hurry or something even worth
happened to him. While looking thru his stuff, she notices a envelope
on the
table , wtih HER name on it!. Inside the envelope she finds a letter,
addressed
to her...
Alche is approaching Gates of Ages, searching for
akasha and
looking to try his luck with the mysterious floating pyramid to find
the Book
of Principles.
The place looks somehow different, everything is
darker ,
plants are burnt here an there, a window is broken, the place almost
seems
deserted .."what happend here?" thinks Akasha as she approaches the
wizards place. She enters and sees the wizards cloak lieing on the
floor. She
starts to search the place to find out where the wizard is or what is
going on.
The word of Akasha's quest to find the Book Of
Principles
and her current study on this subject has reached Thanasias mind while
she was
prayig at the Gazeebo of Gravitational Sound. As soon as he heard the
news from
Thanasia, Alche, a wanderer from MDA Lands thought that he found a flaw
in
Akashas failed atempt to reach the floating pyramid and decided to go
to
Golemus and find out everything he can about the Principles and try to
get the
book himself.
Outside is sunny, the storm is over. Akasha feels
a strange
addiction to the principles she writes, is as if something is making
her
unusualy motivated to continue her work. The wizard that initialy sent
her to
get the book does not represent a main concern for her anymore, however
she
plans to visit him on the way back, maybe becoming an adept of him was
not such
a bad ideea afterall. As she thinks this she notices that the wizards
home is
not so far away and heads towards it.
A strange feeling, not known to normal people,
makes
simplyzero realize his duality. His mind is at the same time on the
dark see
below the worlds and in the body that is wondering the noman's lands.
Time will
tell if this strange splitt will have further consequences or its just
a final
state of his destiny. Under certain circumstances, simplizero has the
ability
to travel the underworld waters and reach any point they connect. Each
time he
does so, a part of his soul shifts to the other side so he wont do that
for
free. Taking an other person with him will be possible but the
consequences are
not yet known. (New RPC character released to play) Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
The papers she started with initialy were filled
long ago,
her mind stopped thinking on how she could possibly reach the floating
pyramid
in her search for the book of principles, now her entire attention is
focused
on writing the principles..her own principles..as she understands them.
Voices
on a nearby corridor made Akasha search for a hiding place, she has to
exit
this place before she gets cought, the storm is probably over and she
has no
clue if the tiny people are friendly or not.
After writing two more principles Akasha decides
to take a
break and look around to see what she can find more about this place.
She
notices one book open and reads a bit as she passes by, "mighty ruler
SmartAlekRJ decided today to teach us the right way of taming
Drachorns...". Apparently for no reason, Akasha thinks of the Cyclicity
Principle. The forging of the fake Principle Book seemed to turned into
a
personal passion for her. With every principle she writes more and more
things
become clear in her mind.
While searching for a confortable place Akasha
found a
network of tunnels that lead her to what seem to be inhabited quarters
but no
one is arround so she starts searching the rooms. One room in
particular
attracts her attention, its a library. She sits at a table and resumes
her work
"Darkness principle" ..Akasha smiles .. "It seems i am living it
right now as i am clueless of where i am but i try to remain undetected
at the
same time" She continues to write.
Akasha enters the cave. The place seems quite nad
dry at
first but walking deeper into the cave reveals a huge hall where
ridiculously
small people try hold a mighty dragon with their ropes. Outside the
storm got
much stronger so she will find a good place and stay here untill the
storm is
over.
"Lets see..the element principle .." As she writes
the principles she can remember, the papers she has seem not enough so
she
tries to make it all as short as possible. Akasha continues writing as
the
storm sets in. She hides under a tree trying not to get wet by the
incomming
rain but the storm gets stronger. She remembers a cave nearby , with a
strange
looking monster shaped entrance, maybe she can find there a quite place
to
finish her writing.
Simplizero decides not to deny the mans identity.
"Ok,
if you say you are ...me...maybe you are right...maybe i am mad
allready
...anyway..where am I?" The man turns towards him. Simplyzero looks
terrified at the mans face, its ..him..just much more older. "You are
one
step away from the reality you know" says the man. "Your actions and
your blind fury turned you into a shade long time before you realised
it.
Shades may not cross this water, but since you are not a shade
entirely, you
splitted in two. One part of you returned to what you were before and
one part
remains trapped in these waters. However, you will be never separated
from your
shade, thats me...I will be sailing these waters for eternity and you
will be
trapped between death and life, your reality and mine". Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
"Who am i ?..." the mysterious man asks, without
turning towards simplyzero. After a moment of silence, dead silance in
this
creepy place, he continues.. "I am simplyzero..you should ask yourself
who
you are". Simplyzero looks shoked at the man and is unable to reply.
The
ferry floats still in the dark waters, simplyzero tries to speak but he
still
has no clue what to say yet. (players are invited to sugest simplyzero
what he
should do >here<)
She leaves the pyramids behind her giving up on
trying to
reach the floating one. As she crosses the bridge back, Akasha is
thinking of a
way to forge a fake book to present to the wizard. She takes the empty
papers
she found inside the pyramids and thinks "What if i use these, write
what
i know about the principles and bind them together ... the wizard will
be so
confused that i might get a brief chance to kill him...at least that if
i cant
get closer to him otherwise". She sits down and beginns to write first
principle she knows. Storm is comming.
It seems the water he jumped in is much more than
a water,
or at least for him it is. It is said that shades can not get into
water
because it will drain their powers and return them to earth.
Simplyzero, or
what was left of this poor peasant that ventured on such an insane
jurney,
looks at the empty waters around him, slowly floating without purpose
on what
seems to be a small wooden ferry. At one end of the ferry he notices a
man, he
aprouches him and asks "Where am i, what is this place,...who are
you.."?
Akasha rethinks her entire purpose..she started
this jurney
in order to convince the Golemus Wizard that she is loyal and usefull
so that
he will accept her as his apprentice and in this way she could get
close enough
to him to find a way to stop him, either by killing him or sabotaging
his
actions, maybe there is no need to actualy return with the book of
principles,
maybe she can return with a fake just to distract the wizard for a few
moments.
(Akasha has no way of knowing the wizard is allready dead so her quest
continues as planned)
Full of anger Ome thinks, "I never fail!!! If this
means Wodin is preparing for war against the shades, then my task
becomes now
to stop him" out of nowhere a voices speaks "very good, i was just
preparing to kill you for your incompetence, but maybe your
extraordinary
skills can be of some use for our cause. Go seek Wodin at Road of
Battles, he
is training his army there, but be carefull, he spirit is stronger than
your
blade, you must find an other way to challenge him". (New RPC Character

Still glowing, Wodin Ullr steps out of the
morphing light.
He looks at the dead wizard and at his killer and speaks to him: "Thank
you, two souls were given to summon mine, from one i master the spirit
and from
one the body, now its time to raise an army! ". He steps outside the
room
and starts walking towards No man's land. Ome looks at him confused,
realising
that this was part of the wizards plan "What have i done!"

SmartAlekRJ decides to assume his role as a
Drakhorn Master
and not to counter the tiny people, afterall they are obeying him as
their
ruler and they seem to do whatever he tells them to. Beeing a Ruler
over these
dragon tamers has its advantages of course, but SmartAlekRJ is not yet
aware of
the possible dangers.
Page 89 [2008-05-22 14:37:11 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost

He looks scared at the crowds as they approach
him, but he
slowly realises that they are actualy doing what he asked them to do!
He is
taken on their tiny arms outside the cave, he can actualy controll
them!
Countless possibilities flood SmartAlekRJ's mind as he is carried
outside. The
thought of running away from the weird tiny people is now strongly
countered by
the ideea of actualy beeing the "Dragon Master"
Page 88 [2008-05-18 22:41:34 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost

SmartAlexRJ is preparing to do something very
crazy...."Listen to me , i am your MASTER, I AM THE DRAGON MASTER!!"
... the crowd reacted as usual, "All Hail the Dragon Master!".
Something very obvious that he didnt thought of before.. "I order you
to
... take me on your arms and bring me outside this cave!" ..a long
moment
of silence....the swarms of tiny people start to walk towards
SmartAlekRJ ...
He keeps falling and falling like the water he
jumped in was
an illusion, like nothing was there, nothing.. At some point he stoped
feeling
the fall, everything was dark and he was like floating into
nothingness. The
few glims of reason that remained in Simplyzero made him to think about
what
happend , where he were, what revenge he had in mind for the Golemus
wizard ..
but those thoughs soon wanished and a sensation of calm took over.
The morphing light finished to take shape. The
wizard looks
at his creation , he finaly did it, despite all the attempts the shades
made to
stop him. A tear of joy drops as the killers blade cuts his throat. The
wizard
drops dead while the mysterious killer cleans his knife. "Hmm ..easier
than i thought..." Back

Page 85 [2008-05-15 16:03:45 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
SmartAlekRJ looks at the library and thinks of all
the
interesting info he could find there, about Darachorns, the tiny people
and
their former rulers "....or were they rulers afterall?". He turns
back to the great hall planning to speak to them one more time.
"Almost there ... arghh...no, its to far up...".
Akasha can't reach the flames of the floating pyramid, she tried
everything she
could, the pyramid is simply floating to far up. "Ah damn it , it must
me
something else.." (make a sugestion >here<)
"The water is so dark ... it actualy looks
like...oh no
it could not be...how could it....but still it looks like ...the sky at
night". Simplizero looks for something to build a boat to travel across
the water and reach Golemus so that he can satisfy his need of revenge.
There
are no trees around, no piece of wood or anything that will float...and
Loreroot is sooo far away....he looks at the pitch black water and a
strong
feeling of sadness strikes him. Necrovion images flash into his head
and he can
not distinguish dream from reality anymore. He is afraid he will do
soemthing
foolish, but this feeling slowly fades away.
Page 82 [2008-05-14 21:14:23 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
He turns back to the tunnels thinking how his
attempt to
rule the tiny people turned into a nightmare. He feels like he is in a
prison,
not bound by chains but by his fear to confrunt the weird and
unpredictable
tiny people. Or are they not so unpredictable afterall? He wished to be
their
master, now he is afraid of it, the whole picture is wrong, he has the
feeling
he is missing something, maybe he is not doing the right thing. ... a
daring
ideea comes into his mind...
Akasha thinks of all clues she has about the Book
of
Principles. 6 papers that look like pages of a notebook, the fact that
the book
is protected by the principles in a hard to describe way and she has a
strong
feeling that the book itself should be somewhere at the huge floating
pyramid
burning in the sky. Suddenly shy has an ideea, she starts getting all
the rocks
she can so that she can climb as close to the floating pyramid as
possible, not
to reach it , but to bring the papers close to the fire....
Close to Paper Cabin there is a way to descend to
the water
that is separating the main land from Golemus Golemicarum, maybe
simplizero
will find a way to cross the water and reach Golemus by an other way.
The scars
left by the Necrovion massacre start to emerge in the form of temporary
hallucinations,
headaches and a very short but profound sensations of unjustified fear. Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
There is no doubt for Akasha that the Book of
Principles is
somewhere inside or above the huge floating pyramid that is burning in
slowmotion flames. (players are invited to give her sugestions on what
to do
about this >here<)

Dragon]
It seems that they have noticed he wants to leave
and they
are planning o stop him. On the view of the angry mob and thinking of
the poor
devoured dragon, SmartAlekRJ shows a stupid smile and heads back to the
library. The crowd disipates but some still keep an eye on him. "I
wonder
what happened to the ex 'Bunny Master' "..he thinks
Page 77 [2008-05-13 17:10:42 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
"ooookk...i was expecting anything else but this
..defenetly there is something wrong about this whole scene.." He
starts
walking away from the place , planning to head towards the cave exit
and run
away as fast as possible. As he steps carefully trying to go unobserved
a
strange constant sound comes from behind him. He carefully turns his
head and
sees a vast croud of tiny people looking at him and singing or saying
something.
One place Akasha never checked is the the floatin
pyramid,
but she has no way of getting there. "There must be a connection
between
all this..the book is here somewhere, if its on the huge floating
pyramid then
there must be a way of getting there, if not , it must be somewhere
here....oh...the wizard also said that it is guarded by the fires of
mount
Kelletha, how could i forget that!"
"The wizard said that the book is protected by the
principles themselves and that it can not be stolen or destroyed ...BUT
I CANT
FIND IT ..damn it" ..she puts together all the papers she found so far
and
tries to come up with an ideea, anything that could help her find the
book.
Page 74 [2008-05-13 05:29:16 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
As the masacration continues, SmartAlekrj looks
terrified at
the horrible show. Several hours pass untill the tiny people completly
desintegrate the massive beast, and as nothing happend moments ago,
they resume
their daily rutine. A small group comes to clean the remaining bones
that form
a huge scheletton where not long ago a mighty dragon stood. Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
Necovion lands remain behind him like a bad memory
that is
watching for an oportunity to emerge at any time. His rage its now
smaller but
his determination to finish what he started is bigger. A familiar place
sparks
a bit of life in him as he passes close to the the Aramory. The bridge
at the
Gates of Ages is closed as allways for him. .. one more reason to fuel
his
revenge wish. He turns back to find an other way to enter Golemus..
After inspecting all the pyramids she found out
that each
one contains an empty paper that looks like a page of some large
notebook..or
something similar. She now has 6 pages, but not a single clue what they
are or
where to find the Book of Principles.
"Oh..this is so similar to the other piramid...and
look, just an empty paper, and probably nothing more, just like in the
previous
place". She picks the torn page and moves on
Page 70 [2008-05-13 02:08:05 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
Like a swarm of psychotic maniacs, hundreds, maybe
thousands
of tiny people run towards one of the captive dragons screaming so
unnaturaly
load that SmartAlekRJ had to put his hands against his years. They
start to
tare the poor dragon apart cutting and bitting pieces of him as the
poor beast
screams his pain in the large cave.
Page 69 [2008-05-12 16:26:26 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
With a terrifying scream, the creature starts to
swing his
wings and takes of hitting the sealing of the cave while struggling to
escape
that place. Distracted for a second by the magnificent look of the
Drakhorn,
SmartAlekRJ immediatly turns his attention towards the tiny people..
After spending a lot of time searching the empty
hall for
other possible items or clues, she decides that there is nothing else
left
there and moves on to investigate the other piramids. Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
In his eyes, Necrovion is now burning in flames
with no
creatures left in it what so ever. One fo the many illusions Necrovion
can
create in the mind of those that get lost in it. Simplizero approuches
the
Howling Gates and looks one more time behind him ..."now , i finished
with
you, i shall go and destroy the source of this all ... .the Golemus
wizard....you will pay for ignoring me."
A humanoid shape emerges from the glowing mixture
of light
and fog. The wizards stares at it with his eyes full of joy ..
"Finaly!!
..Master Wodin...oh mighty warior..you are finaly here..the Shades will
be
finaly destroyed now ..just a few more moments and you will be able to
exit the
energy field."..he runs again outside to adjust the mirror .. As he
steps
outside a foreign thought reaches his mind .."Now could be a good
moment,
or maybe i should wait more and see what he is up to.." The wizard
ignores
it, he knows shades will send other killers for him but he is so close
now, nothing
can stop the process now..
Page 65 [2008-05-12 12:11:50 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
Confused but also intrigued of what is going on,
he decided
to try to release one of the dragons that the tiny people keep bound
and see
what happens. He slowly releases one of the drachorns. The Creature is
massive
and looks dangerous.
As she approuches the altar she sees something on
it, looks
like a piece of paper. She looks at the paper but there is nothing on
it. A
perfectly clean piece of paper with a rough but evenly distributed
texture. On
one side the paper is torn as if it was ripped. "I should take this,
maybe
it will be an important clue later, lets see what else i can find"
Page 63 [2008-05-12 12:11:50 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
He walks on the corridors shouting from time to
time at
people he meats "I am the Dragon Master!", they all answer the same
way "HAIL The Dragon Master"..they dont even turn their heads towards
him anymore , but they still answer.
Page 62 [2008-05-12 12:11:50 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
The book ends as expected, with the Dragon Master
opening a
book in te library. "This must be a joke" he thinks "The tiny
people made this to scare me" ... "But when?, i just came from
that..speach".
With his mind on the recent events SmartAlekRJ forgets for now about
his
initial jurney to find his Dragon. Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
While waiting for the misterious light formation
to take
shape, the wizard thinks... "Good that i sent Akasha away to get that
book...she could be more dangerous to my plan than a professional
killer sent
to kill me" ... he looks out at the window with his mind far away
..."She will never find the Book of Principles ..nobody can..there is
none
....and even if there was....arghhh!!i am thinking again fulish
things!"
..he turns away from the window and admires his work in progress.
Page 60 [2008-05-12 02:37:52 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
As he opens an other book, a big heavy book,
actualy heavy
for him too not only for the tiny people, he reads its title.."History
of
the Ancient Dragon Master". He stares speachless at one page
illustrating
him in front of a big crowd. He starts readin with his heart pumping
hard in
his chest...
The piramid is empty on the inside. One single
huge hall
with openings to let light in. The overall feeling is majestic. Akasha
steps
carefully towards what seems to be sort of an altar in the center of
the room.
"What is he doing...?", Om slowly approuches the
wizards place trying to go unobserved. A strange glowing light can be
seen from
inside the house. Om. decides to wait and see what is going on, he
never killed
a wizard before so he must be carefull. "He looks so old, his strength
its
defenetly not physical, but so many failed to defeat him, i better
observe him
for a while"
"Finaly! My work is complete!" ..the wizard turns
at his desk writing something down. In the middle of the room a strange
glowing
thing starts to to take shape. The wizard runs outside and adjusts a
mirror
that reflects sunlight throu a window directly into the forming thing.
"Good that the sun never sets, you will need plenty of energy to
grow"...
Its clear that such a great artefact such as the
Book of
Principles should be placed somewhere in an important location, but
where? The
floating burning building does not seem to have any way of access,
maybe its
not a building afterall. Akasha starts inspecting the place searching
for a
clue. The piramids on the ground seem to have an entrance, she starts
with the
first one, maybe she will find something in on of them. Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
Page 55 [2008-05-11 19:49:30 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
Searching throu the library reveals several Books
about
former leaders. SmartAlekRJ reads a passage.. "As the all mighty Master
teached us, we are all Bunnys in the Bunny Empire, All Hail The Lord Of
Bunnies! All Hail The Bunny Empire!"...
Page 54 [2008-05-11 19:49:01 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
He starts searching for a book that will explain
him more
about the tiny people. He studied about the Drakhorns but not about
those weird
little people allover the place. Maybe he can learn something about
their
behaviour and understand their strange reaction.
Page 53 [2008-05-11 00:00:38 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
Almost feeling like he is dreaming SmartAlekRJ
runs throu
the tunnles back to the library searching for a quite place where he
can think
of what just happened.
Behind his face tortured by the Necrovion
environment and by
the premature aging he experienced in the Vale of Oblivion, two blue
eyes stay
witness to his extinguished powers and his unnatural will. On the other
side of
the world swarms of tiny people depleated of will are praising their
new Dragon
Master.
She moves away as far as she can so that she can
see what is
causing that light above the huge floating piramid. Amazed by the view,
Akasha
realises that the light is caused but something that could described as
a
"slow fire" , a fire that burnes but its flames are moving realy
realy slow. "This must be the fire of Mount Kelle'tha .. i heard about
it,
i was hoping is something more metaphorical hmmm.."
Exhausted by the fight, simplyzero departs the
DeathMarrow
capital. In his eyes the place burns in flames depleted of all life
forms ..
wich might not be so far from the truth actualy. His steps are heavier
and he's
eyes are weakening as he approaches once more the Vale of Oblivion on
his way
back.
Page 49 [2008-05-11 00:00:32 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
Intrigued by their reaction SmartAlekRJ shouts
again this
time louder and more convincing towards the swarms of tiny people
working
allover the palce. "I am YOUR master and you will do as i say or i
shall
turn you into dust!" ..same indiferent answer .."Hail The Dragon
Master!!" Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
"So...it seams you solved my riddle afterall.." .
The landscape changes and STF finds himself back at the wizards place.
A
distant wisper fades in his mind as he wakes from the dream .."I will
be
around you wherever you go....". STF has a powerful feeling that he
learned something new. The presence of .Morpheus. becomes part of him,
the
dream master will hunt the dreams of whoever he wishes. He walks away
from the
wizards place, fearing of what else could happen to him if he tries to
challenge the wizard again.
Page 47 [2008-05-10 03:58:02 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost
Dragon]
After a long moment of silance, the tiny ant
people all
scream with their little voices 'Hail The Dragon Master!!' and like
nothing
happened they turn back to whatever they were doing. SmartAlekRJ looks
confused
by this odd moment. The tiny people continue their work and ignore him
like
they just forget what he said.
A huge piramid turned upside down floats above her
head.
Akasha stares amazed at the unbelievable structure. Some sort of light
is
coming from behind the piramid from something far above, its dificult
to see what
it is while standing below it.
"Ignorant creatures, i shall kill them all!!!".
With his soul shattered by his frustration simplyzero focuses and
recalls his
creatures invoking each one within a deadly ritual. With the energy of
all his
creatures combined he launches a storm of devastating attacks in the
blackness
of Necrovion fighting his imaginary enemies. For a man blinded by a
fake
purpose, anything can take the shape of his enemies.
Page 44 [2008-05-09 22:46:34 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost

"Listen to me people!, I am the Ancient Dragon
Master
returned from the beginning of time to rule my dragon kingdom once
again! As
you can see i am a God for i am bigger than you and i have divine
powers..don't
make me show them to you or you will be sorry!" .. SmartAlekRJ is
holding
his breath waiting for a reaction and tries to look dangerous..
After climbing several hours Akasha finaly reaches
the top
of Mount Kelle'tha. Thinking at first that they are huge rocks, she
discovers a
circle formation of piramid shaped buildings, looks like a temple of
some sort.
As she looks at those constructions she realises that something is
casting a
big shadow on the entire plateau. Slowly she raises her head and looks
to the
sky... Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
STF turns towards the crowd behind him waving like
a fresh
ellected president and does the banana dance, on BOTH legs. .Morpheus.
shouts:
"HEY! what do you think you're doing!?" ..crowd dissapears and STF
looks in the ground before Morpheus like a guilty child, waiting for
his
reaction...the answer might be wrong afterall
.Morpheus.: "As i was saying, should it be the
left or
the right leg?" ... STF:"No , please, ... " .M.: "ha, why
are you afraid of, its just a leg muhahhaa" .. STF:"DEATH!"
.....M.:"WHAT? what you just said?, do you actualy think i care why you
are
afraid of? ha..impertinent human " .....S: "no..the answer is
DEATH"....
Page 40 [2008-05-09 05:58:08 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost

SmartAlekRJ turns back the the great dragon hall
where he
entered the tunnels. After reading all those books about the Drakhorns
he knows
he has no reason to fear them as these are tamed dragons specialy breed
for
sacrification. With a bit of insane courage he decides to shout a
speach for
the tiny people there. All stop whatever they are doing and look
confused at
him..
He can't turn back to Necrovion, that path only
opens in the
presence of a shade, but he can do something else that might impress
the shades
and make them forgive his failure in killing BigC...."yeeeees ..this i
will do...i will be the first to do it so the shades will forgive me or
maybe
even reward me hehhehe". As he thinks of this Om. starts walking
towards
the Gates of Ages

"..ah and the Element Principle .. i wonder if
that
could stop the bad weather...but thats for more complex things... oh
well since
i have nothing better to do while i am waiting, lets imagine how this
could be
done... maybe add a bit of Fire to the Water and Wind outside, merge
them into
one, use the wind to spread the action and use Earth to attract the
Water .....
OHH! look the sun is shining, and this delicate warm rain ...oh and the
fog is
clearing.. i guess i can stop thinking nonesense and move on now..."
I shall remove you one leg from your body, maybe
this will
make you think harder on the riddle ..."NOOO PLEASE .Morpheus. , i am
thinking , realy hard PLEASE!!...what was it ...oh yes ..."So close but
yet so far, ones fear is the other ones war" ....thinking
..thinking"....(players are invited to help >here<,

made public STF escapes Morpheus riddle)
"The legendary Deathmarrow , a pillar of beauty
and
strength" ... simplizero stares amazed at the horrific dark growth that
emerges from the depth and reaches the sky. "Hmm now where are those
shades .. i should ask these people here, ..Hey you slimes, i am
seaking for
the shades, where are they!?". As he stares into nothingness,
simplyzero
continues his dialogue.. "Shades? no sir there are none here, the
shades
are outside, they live in MarindBell not here" ...
Page 32 [2008-05-07 02:14:38 - SmartAlekRJ's Lost

A diabolical ideea starts to form in SmartAlekRJ's
head
..."The drakhorns are such powerfull creatures... what if ...oh no i
couldn't do that...but then again i am so big...am i?...hmmm".
"The Book of Principles, what could be in it?...",
Akasha starts enumerating the principles she learned so far.. "ok, i
know..Balance...i fight well and temper my greed, i learned to lose
well and to
win when i want ... what else.. oh, i know Syntropy ... i regenerate my
creatures and they keep improving skill ..what else..." As she tries to
think of more principles she knows of, the weather starts to get worth
,seems
she has to wait more before crossing the bridge. Back

Dragged over miles and dumped into a pitch black
place, BigC
feels weak but not abandoned. He knows there are people out there that
remember
him as a mighty warrior and maybe one day someone will come to free
him, or he
will recover strength and get out on his own. Of course there is always
a
chance that he will die of cold and hunger in the blackness of the
Necrovion
darkness...but at least he is still alive. That should be a lesson for
all
brave wariors that think they can mock the shades power. BigC's quest
ends here
... for now.
As he approaches the thick column of smoke he
realizes that
it stais still, doesn't look like smoke afterall, its more like a huge
plant.
Could this be the legendary Deathmarrow root of all evil...but wait!,
something
is moving behind that rock... oh a shade, mmm such a good taste, the
dark
essence of this tiny little thing dripping of his teeth, ... what ...it
has
bones? ..damn it, its not a shade... Driven by what is widly known as
Necrovion
Insanity Syndrome simplizero continues his search for the shades.

Wow, well trained Drakhorns can actualy do 300 or
more base
damage to all enemy creatures ... SmartAlekRJ keeps reading and starts
to have
a slightly different image of his little cute baby dragon.
Now he can hear them, the voices praying for him,
he can
actualy feel their names, Thanasia, Metal Bunny , Necrohunter, Lessa,
Grido,
Daeron, Psycho, Leinado, Gjinja , many others. ... But ... one
voice...ohhh
sweet revenge....one day.... As the shades drag him deeper inside
necrovion, he
uses whatever power he has left to keep him alive and slowly heal his
wounds.
For now he is at the mercy of the shades.
After an exhausint climbing Akasha decides to take
a break.
She looks at the surroundings, rocks allover the place, no sign that
could
point her in the right direction but she is sure she is on the right
path. Far
away she can see a bridge but after that bridge there is just a dense
fog. She
will make camp here and pass the bridge tomorow after she rests. Back

His memories start to pass in front of his eyes in
the
rhythm of the music, a cold calm invades him as his will fades slowly
away...
but something is not right, the music is louder and louder , the rhythm
is
calling him back .. all this people praying for BigC at the Gazeebo of
Gravitational Sound , their voices traveled all the way to Necrovion,
just the
little support BigC needed to stay alive ..but staying alive in such a
place,
is it so much better than dying? (you can join the BigC support group

The winds blows removing the words from the sand.
STF
remains confused thinking of them ..."So close but yet so far, ones
fear
is the other ones war" ....what could it be...who are you? ...."I am

frightend STF sits down thinking of those words. Only if thre was

SmartAlekRJ finds a small library of books ...
well its
actualy that small , because the books are very small, but if they were
normal
size, this would be a huge library. As he opens several of them he
realizes
that all the books are about drakhorns, how to raise them, how to tame
them,
seems like its an entire tradition for these people to raise drakhorns.
At some
points he finds a passage that speaks of "The sacrification of
drakhorns" ...this doesn't sound right ..he keeps reading.
As expected, reaching Mount Kelle'tha its not an
easy task.
Four seasons cycle during the same day, calm winter snow and heavy
tropical
rain occur within minutes distance, Akasha has never seen such an
impressive
show of nature.
After hearing the terrible news about BigC,
Thanasia, a
young girl of MarindBell has retreated inside the Gazebo of
Gravitational Sound
and is chanting a protection spell for BigC. She hasn't known him well
at all,
but she predicts that -in the scarce chance that he survives- they
might find
themselves on the same side of a subtle, yet imminent war. The mantra
she keeps
repeating is now being carried by the wind itself, and Thanasia hopes
it will
reach BigC... if he is still amongst the living. Back

BigC steps throu the Gates of Ages and returns to
Noman's
Land ...a strangly familiar metal taste floods his mouth, the blood
runs out of
him as the sky becomes dark and all things fade away. Who was that?
Ome..why..why
you... In his last moments of pain he sees how his body is dragged by

SmartAlekRJ is searching the vast tunnel network
trying to remain
unobserved by the tiny people. Seems like an entire ant-like society of
tiny
people taming dragons.
As he walks the green plains, the sky turns into
watter, the
plains turn into desert, and a voice starts to speak. "Answer my riddle
and you should live well, Answer it smart and you should get a spell".
STF
stops for a second, thinking he went mad hearing voices, but as he
looks behind
him he sees his footsteps change into words .. "So close but yet so
far,
ones fear is the other ones war" ....
The wizard acts like nothing happend, he kindly
invites
Akasha to sit down and tell her story. After a long talk, the wizard
accepts
Akasha as an apprentice and sends her on mission to prove her skills
and
loyalty. He sends her after the Book of Principles guarded by the fires
of
Mount Kelle'tha. The book is actualy protected by the principles itself
so if
someone tries to destroy it or steal it, the events will go in such way
that
the book will return unharmed to its place. Akasha realises that this
book can
not be taken away from its place and its a bit confused why the wizard
gives
her this task, however there is nothing she can do about it so she
starts her
jurney to get the book or at least try to.
Suddently he feels heavier, dark memories flood
his mind, an
unstoppable urge to kill makes him go deeper into Necrovion. He can no
longer
remember his homeland, all he knows is his name, simplyzero and his
purpose, to
kill the shades ...those damn shades that ignored him and denied his
right to

decides that its time to exit Golemus and face the wrath of the shades.
Akasha realises the power of the wizard and
pretend she is
just an apprentice that came to learn from the great master. She
doesn't want
to dissapear like STF did, she must act smart and discover the wizards
weakness
before she attempts to kill him.

enjoyed by his friends and fellow players.
An uneducated peasant, known by the name of

frustrated by the fact that he can not participate in the wizard quest,

SmartAlekRJ decides to continue to search for his
dragon and
enters the dark lair. He sees a mighty dragon but he is bound by tiny
humans,
they are trying to tame him. Far behind he can see some small entrances
, they
look like tunnels, he decides to go unobserved by the dragon and the
people
surrounding him and go into the tunnel network, maybe his dragon is
encaged
somewhere around.
Shades contact *Akasha* and STF to finish the
quest and stop
the wizard from his actions, their quest will begin soon..
In the mean time SmartAlekRJ found a dark dragon
lair but he
is unsure if to proceed and enter the lair or quit his jurney and turn
back
without his dragon.
BigC reaches the Golemus wizard and finds out that
he is
trying to contact a great warrior Wodan Ullr thats why he is messing
around
with the dream world. The wizard summoned .Morpheus. , a legendary

master, to help him communicate with the people of Marind Bell. BigC
decides
not to complete the quest given by the Shades and to leave the wizard
alaone to
do his thing. The shades will be extreamly angry...BigC remains in

SmartAlekRJ's Dragon discovers how to take flight.
No run of
the mill Dragon is disciplined enough to be capable of flying. Nor is
any
normal individual gifted enough to harness the substantial power of the
Dragon.
In a single thrashing dive SmartAlekRJ’s Dragon swoops near to the
ground and
at that moment flies off into the distance past the (place).
SmartAlekRJ
remembers hearing an anecdote of an elderly man who lost his legs that
could
tame Dragons. Consequently he sets off into Golemus Golemicarum to
locate the
elderly man and become skillful at how to master his Dragon.
Shades have picked *BigC* to go on a mission in
Golemus
Golemicarum and stop the wizard from messing around with the dream
world.
However the first meeting didn't went so well, BigC is not sure if to
help the
shades or just kill them... Back
to the Top of the Adventure Log
Some crazy wizard is experimenting with the dream
world in
Golemus Golemicarum. Seems that his actions upset the dark forces of
Necrovion.
A hero is requested to go on a quest to see whats going on there. IF he
returns
successfuly he will be greatly rewarded, if he fails...his account will
be
doomed and locked forever in a Necrovion prison or the crazy wisard
might turn
him into a weird animal or something. It is rumored that the dark
shades are
allready testing players to see who fits their requirements.
An
other new creature
in necrovion, much harder to find than the previous one, and an other
new
ability too. The Tormented soul has a similar ability with the Unholy
Priest
but its targeted on skills not on vitality. He will do damage and will
also
change all of your creature skills, including damage, defense, life
steal etc,
based on how much the enemy is stronger or weaker than you during that
fight.
It also takes away those skills from your enemy. It will be interesting
to play
with the vitality slider for different results against different types
of
opponent. I could call this a very strategic creature. Later levels
push things
even more, but I guess you will have to wait to see that :D. Ability
and stats
may change in time after more testing.

The
Unholy Priest
New
creature in
necrovion, new ability too. The Unholy Priest has one of the most
uncommon
combination of abilities, he will protect _enemy_ creatures by
martyrism but he
will also give or take from your creatures vitality equal to a
percentage of
the the difference between the enemy vitality and yours, so it will
turn the
battle upside down or at least part of it. Other abilities and details
are
detailed on the creature page.

calm down. This policy will apply to all of you regardless of rank,
role or
reputation. Disputes between team members should be reported to Shoeps

Tip: an
interesting
way to use items in quests is be teaming up wtih an other character and
have
others find items or aquire them by other means from that character.
Once the
you receive the requested item you can reward or continue the quest and
also
send the item back to the partner character, creating a cycle so that
others
can solve same task. RPC's but not only them, can share ideas and write
examples of smart item uses. Archive editors are requested to support
interesting and creative ideas by recording them to the archives as
quest
building tutorials.

Trading of
items is done without money or a fixed value, its up to you how you
will trade
them and for what you will use them. Owning an item imply its possible
uses,
therefor they can greatly help you with your role, or you can simply
collect
them for later use or fun.

New

Inventory items
Roleplay
Items will
allow better roles and player interaction and a totally new range of
quests,
inner magic uses, roleplay jobs and even merchants! There is no money
or useful
trade currency here. As you all know valuepoints are not a real value
measure
because they are regenerating, so trading and aquireing of items will
be done
in a very ancient way, back when money didnt exist yet goods were still
traded.
Informations, influence, other items, roles, actions, or many other
things
could be used as trading equivalent vor different items. Items will
enter the
MD world slowly one at a time but at a constant rate. For now they will
be rare
but they will become more and more common over time. Read more about
this
feature on the more info page under its panel.

MD is
passing through
some big concept changes. Part of these changes is the new wishpoint
system.
The new wishpoints interface is available for rpcs to use, but before
you rush
to use it, be careful about some things that are now different. RPC hav
now a
limited number of wp to give, currently only 10 and they can give only
one to
the same player. The wish shop will allow all players to aquire
abilities that
until now were given only during the festival, leaving the festival for
more
important ceremonies such as promoting and rewarding players for
special
achievements or with realy rare abilities. For now wishpoints will be
given for
solving rpc quests, rpcs will be rated for the quality of their quests
and the
players for the quality of their play when solving the quests. Its
optional for
an rpc to reward an wishpoint for his quest, alternate rewards can be
spell
docs or other things, not necesarly a wishpoint. WP should be kept as a
very
high reward. More reasons for wishpoints reward will be decided soon,
such as
rewards for contribution to the MD world, or overall activity, or
articles on
md-archives and lectures. Regulations and details how thse aditional wp
reward
will be given, will be made public as soon as decided. These changes
are ment
to make the promoting of players more fluid and allow more people to
customize
their charcter and become part of what is now an "exclusive list of
RPCs". RPC will be a temporary state granted only to those that keep
their
characters active and involved, all RPC's that cant keep up with their
role
will be demoted to PWR and will keep some of their abilities but will
lose privilege
to create and supervise quests for others or to grant wishpoints. More
improvements to the fluidity of the game are in work, as always.

Abusing
bugs,
especialy during head contest, will trigger heavy penalisations. If you
ignore
warnings or penalisations and continue to use bugs to gain advantages
during
this or any other competition, you will get baned, regardless of age,
rpc
status, previous achievements. Accessing any game function without
tools
provided by the interface or with intent to obtain un natural benefits
is
cheating. Discovering bugs and reporting them fully documented will be
from now
on rewarded more than before, however, using such bugs , even after
reporting
them, will be penalised much worse. A comitee to investigate and
supervise
"cheating bugtesters" will be assembled and kept secret. Game
mechanics or team members wont be informed by what mmbers this comitee
has to
avoid temptations and favoritism. Thank you for undertanding.

the more
dificult is to hold them because of the temporary skill handicap they

you
gather. Second stage triggers when all top players in each MP group
reach at

Because
of financial
reasons, advertising is temporarly on hold. All available funds will be
directed to main things such as server costs and things that can't be
avoided.
The temporary lack of newcommers in the next days/weeks will obviously
result
in inevitable issues with the gameplay. This is a serious situation,
and i am
counting on older player support to pass it by keeping a steady,
quality play
and by helping newer members to better integrate in the community.
Alternate
advertising ways such adepts recruiting is welcomed. Usualy such a
situation
causes a chain reaction with people staying away from the game because
there
are few people to fight and interact with and that in turn causes same

Trophy
head
competiton started!
All
players receive a
trophy head periodicaly, every victoryous fight will give you all the
heads the
enemy has cumulating the in one big head ball. The more heads you have
the more
dificult is to hold them because of the temporary skill handicap they
give
during a fight. The contest consists of two stages, in first stage you
can get
score in all locations where you can fight depending on how many heads
you
gather. Second stage triggers when all top players in each MP group
reach at
least score. In this second stage, score will be counted only in a
strategic
location of the map during an entire day. Players that allready won the
contest
may participate but may not win the contest again. First place will get
a
medal. Stats rewards will be given for first 3 positions on all MP
groups
participating. You can see contest progress and more info at the

When
RPC spells were
created, the things to controll their use was HEAT. With the special
spell
interface created to make spell casting easyer for RPC's , abusing
spells
become a habbit. There is no controll to how spells get used and
obviously
common sense of rpc's cant handle that. Special rpc interface for
casting
spells was removed today and wont come up, do not send me begging pms
or do not
try to reason me into putting it back for some of you, that includes
team
members or people that would normaly realy need it. If you want to cast
spells
you will do it in public and with a 300 heat cost. This change will
defenelty
ruin the way you are used to work now but its a change needed to stop
what is
happening now with spell casting. This will also have a huge impact on
role
playing situations (i am not saying good or bad) and i am actualy

This rare ability will allow you to create special strategic rituals to
force
your enemy to heal and by that to better control your Sheath Bllance

a
friendly one, this combination of abilities beeing also one of the
rarest. Its
stats are similar to the other christmas collection creatures, keeping
the
tradition of the "Santa (2007)". This creature can be used to do
explicit healing rituals, acting almost as a spell and a great social
tool for
making new friends and allies.

declare myself
corrupted by the temptation to use the ability to edit the newslog in

me things
like Family, joy, lots of gifts for everybody and so on. The reason i
_love_
christmas is not because of religion but because of tradition and what
it means
in people hearts. Because of my ever changing life, it happens that
this year
there is no more family, there are no more people to give gifts too,
and there
is no more warm joy like it used to be. Dont worry, nobody is dead, its
just
that my life is changing, a lot. Therefor i realised that my family is
made out
of people that love and respect me and thats you, everyone reading
this. Some
care more some care less some dont even know me. There is no point in
this
announcement, its just this, I wanted you to know that i feel home with
you and
that even if i dont reply to pms and sometimes even dont answer to
hello's i
care about each one of you. Yeah i know sounds almost lame, but its how
i feel
now. In the hollydays period i will drop my official, serious look, i
will get
a decent avatar, i will enjoy roleplaying, i will care about ballancing
my
fights and i will take advantage of my cute admin interface for my own
selfish
benefit and for your massive fun :). Now i get back cause i just

MD
Script v.0.1
I am
proud to
announce version 0.1 of MD Script. This custom language is designed
soley for
MD and its useful for scripting and creating advanced quests by RPC.
The
clickable items allover MD world can now be scripted with this language
to
allow chaining of more items, changing and reading of player properties
,
checking and assigning of trigger keys that enable or block map items,
setting
of custom keys defined by the quest creator, interaction with the
player creature
inventory, scripted rewards, and much more to come. In the next period
this
will be extended with more functions and integrated with other game
features
such as spells (healing or weakening a player, invisibility,
teleportation,
etc), illusion triggering (mass changes of player properties for a
limited
time). This will allow RPC characters or other designated people to
create
their own interactive quests and puzzles and hopefully will be a step
forward
in creating a user editable world. MD Script will probably be extended
to other
game sections other than the clickable items, such as customizable
spells,
customizable creature abilities and more. Access to such scripting is
limited
to RPC characters for now to avoid total chaos.

to reset the entire game because of the latest MP2 changes and i am

Because more dramatic changes are required, Illusion testers are
requested to exit the illusions they are in. An automated way to stop
all illusions could cause damage so please exit the test by yourself
and avoid remaining in the last that will be automaticaly reset. Once
you will end your current illusion the test will end for you and you
will exit GG. Please do not delay. MP2 level will become public at the
beginning of next week and for MP7 there will probably more tests
later. Thank you all very much for participating in this test. All

Illusions test will start once the signup list reaches 100 people. You
can signup and see the current list >here<. During the test the
illusions system will change and some of you will see different things
than the others. Becaue the illusions also change player roles and
abilities, it will be total chaos with the story and
role-playing, please remember its a test and none of the assigned roles
will be permanent. During this test there should be NO INFLUENCES on
the adventure log story or in any other way. Feel free to go wild with
the testing, but remember to report any exploits or bugs discovered.
The first step of the test will be to test beginner illusions so their
power wont be significat for most, but as the test goes on there will
be also powerfull illusions available such as important character roles
and rare abilities, please use them wisely and try not to mess the game
world to much. Even if its a test, i will severly penalize those of you
that do not understand to keep things under control when required.
[2008-11-15 07:48:47 - Alpha 7]
Since its Alpha stage and most of you dont mind testing new stuff, in
fact most love to do that, the illusions test will be performed on a
much larger group than i initialy thought. To avoid activating
mp7/illusions for players that dont yet understand how the game works,
i will activate it only for those who request it and ONLY TO MP4/MP5
players. Before jumping to test this you might want know the risks!! If
something goes wrong and the illusion does not remain as an illusion
and affects your account permanently, you risk to have it reset
partialy. If you do things to unballance the game too much its possible
the game evolution will be affected, case when i will have to do a lot
more things to fix it. Please report all logic and scripr bugs you will
find. The first illusions test will be performed on a limited number of
players then extended as more illusions need testing. Lets start with
100 TESTER, I will need a Player ID list, comma separated, thats all.
List will be maintained on the forum [forum mods please provide
assistace for this] ...

Improvements made to the player "DNA" system, this is what determines
changes based on player and its a string almost unique to all players
(slim chance of getting two identical strings). This so called DNA of
your character is responsable of many things you dont knwo they were
suppose to happen on purpose and its like a birth signature determined
when you register but changes slightly as you play. Unfortunalty i can
not disclose the exact effects of this improvement but it feels good to
let you know somethign good happend.

A game is an illusion, an illusion is nothing and whatever starts from
nothing can become anything. I can only hope that this game will help
you see the similarities between virtual and real world and by that
understand what remains unchanged and what are the true values you
should care about.

at first. So....additional admin interfaces are ready for managing
alliance members, alliance leadership, interface to change player
skills and spell documents of the rpc's. These and future admins will
help to better control and maintain the game. Things that untill now
took hours to complete now can be done in seconds and as more and more

ALL rpc's received a inner magic spell document to give as reward for
their quest. High level docs should be given after a more dificult
quest and low level docs can be given for more easy quests. RPC to RPC
trade of documents is allowed but RPC's should never give their
documents for free to the other players. The exact distribution of the
documents will be posted soon on the forum. Just about 50% of the
existing docs were distributed, for the rest the game will need more
rpc's so probably it will happen slowly in time or with the next
festival. Please remember the difference between outer magic abilities
and inner magic docs, dont mix them. The actual use of inner magic is
still to be documented and presented in more detail so consider these
docs more like a personal collection for now. Back To The Top Of The

A new Adventure Log chapter beginns! "The Inner
Sun" is the next main chapter and of course there will be side stories
along with it as it happened with the previous main chapters. Lets see
what will
happen in this one, i am curious to see this myself. In first chapter
RPC's
appeared (oh yeah), in second AL chapter alliances appeared and world
was at a
small step from a massive war, also a lot of secrets unfold related to
the
shades, the land weapons and much more. Spies, training schools and all
sorts
of social movements started during the last chapter, lets see what this
one
will bring new to the game. Remember, the Adventure Log story is a
story
that is
written based on real things that happen in the game, its the history
of the
game. Do not confuse this with the storyline that you play when
starting
the
game, that one is a single player story, but the AL..is
a true multiplayer adventure :)

This contest is based on 1vs1 fight and is
organized into
Loreroot forest. All MP4 and MP5 who want to participate, please
contact Eden
or NelyaSetesh by sending a pm with your name and MP. All person who is
already
register, please confirm to Eden.
Only people who gained access to Loreroot can participate. The contest
will
happen in Oak Fort. The first edition will start the 15th October Each
winner
(one by MP) will receive a head contest medal, a gold one if he
already has a
normal one. Good luck!
Please play your roles as usual and talk things
along the
chain of command in this order: LHO, RPC, Alliance/Guild leaders, Team
leaders
in charge of each department and the Game Manager. Do not count on tag
changes,
or interface changes in the next short period, but use your roles with
permissions granted from the people in your "chain of command".
Social ranks and roles will be given based on what happens in the game
world but
do not count on interface changes. For a while you will have to adapt
to the
changes and not the changes to adapt to you. The new admin interface
will
enable team leaders and some of the people more involved with this to
do these
changes of social level themselves later. The rights will be given
based on the
evolution of the game SOCIETY, starting with the most active, loyal and
involved people. Thank you all for understanding.

Because the avatars are more and more rare and
they are not
easy to do and because some of them really look amazing and others look
bad (but
all have personality) , I would like a public feedback for my next
suggestion.
What do you think of selling the avatars as an auction were players can
increase price and fight for one or the other avatar? That will
increase avatar
prices, but it will give you more chances to get one other than the
simple
random factor like it is now in case you find one on the gallery or
not. The
auction system could be done for the level 2 avatars or for all of
them, I am
waiting for a public reaction to this, thank you.

I am sorry i have to write this on the main news
log. I
(Muratus del Mur) do not answer PM's, period.
Most of the things you think you have to tell me
you can
tell to one of the staff members. If i talk to you for a RPC promotion
or
something else that does not mean i will keep answering other pm's or
chat with
you about how beautiful life is. Its not that i don’t want to, i love
to talk
to each one of you if i could, but i cant. Team members have a chance
of 80% to
get an answer, RPC 50%, other 10%. Chances to actually get an answer
drop
dramatically with the size of your message, if you write me a novel i
will never
answer/read it. If i tell you i will do something for you or answer
positive to
an email but i don’t do that think within a few days, then please send
it again
and insist but also remember me what it was about, its possible i will
simply
forget about it and its ok to insist until its finished or until i
tell you
to stop. Team members should insist with a message if they think its
really
important, sometimes it happens it gets lost, the pm msg list can hold
just 100

When bug testers face role players strange things
happen.
What happened to the alliances and what changed the current story so
much was
actually the result of a planned attack. A lot of you think all is lost
, all
your hard work to get in an alliance is lost, all the credits you spent
on
loyalty potions to keep position and all the trust you put in people
that
betrayed you. Think that all this could have been the work of a bad
intended
player and not of a fellow bug tester. The results of this underground
test are
a small price to pay in exchange of the full explanation of the used
bugs to
achieve that. All the bugs involved are being fixed with top priority,
the
bug testers responsible for these events did their role in this game as
they
were supposed to. I was not aware of the things to come, it was not
something
planned, but it was a good lesson to learn, both for the alliance
members and also
for me. All damage done to the players involved will be repaird,
everything is
under controll now, but i will not let these events go and ignore their
effects
on the game world. The situation still stands, alliance members were
assassinated by master spies, the shades are weaken by the sudden drop
of
forces outside necrovion (the ballance), resons to this must be found,
and
decisions should be made. The situation is real and your decisions and
findings
will affect the evolution of this world as they did so many times

All of you noticed the new section in the right
corner of
the interface, the triggers. Currently the info displayed there is for
testing
only, it will eventualy have a nice interface to show you information
like
global spell casting, weather in game world and more. Untill then you
can see
there all spells cast by anyone in game. Some of the spells are part of
pther
activators (such as the allopass) other spells are not used as spells
in game
but as triggers.
Today i just collected data on possible rpc's,
roles,
rewards, and players with potential and reviewd some rpc voting lists i
missed.
I am sorry to find out that the elitistic reactions of current rpc's
are worse
than i expected, in multipe cases..and also that a lot of players that
crave
for a role still dont understand anything about this whole contest.
Most of the
players rewarded proved to everybody they deserve it, but some are
quite new
and unexpectedly rewarded. The reason for this is because i see
potential in
them too and the contest should not be just for veterans. One change to
the
contest that i did not announced untill now, and most will be very
angry on
this, is that i will count my vote as 50-70% and not as a regular vote.
I do
this because unfortunatly i have the feeling that personal conflicts,
or the
elitistic attitude, affect the decisions made by current voters, at
least in
this Festival. Its clear now to me that this contest has to be done in
a
tottaly different way in the future, because the way decisions can be
made but
also because rewarding both new players and veteran players or existing
rpcs is
a very chaotic process that i could not organise. Some of the voters
realy
tried to help and sent lists with their observations on the current
role-play
situation, but most did not. I will be invisible during contest days to
avoid
any temptations to impress me, i will ignore pms from players regarding
their
role unless i initiated the discussion, and i will not listen to
personal hate
lists from voters. This contest is not about scores or if a player did
good but
missed by a few points...no way. During THIS contest just a few will be
rewarded, but i realised today that the rewards should be many more and
much
better given, and for that work is in progress, focused on monitoring
player
activity and provide better ways to track and aproximate their deserved
reward...for the next Festival to come :)

Just a few more days untill the Festival starts!
Please
remember that you should have on the first lines of your personal docs
the
desired titles and descriptions and wishes for reward and also a breef
info on
what to review your character for. Players that do not have those have
a very
bad chance of winning anything. Also note that a sketch of any kind (or
quality) that will be added to your personal doc to describe your
quest/puzzle/role will increase your chances. Votes for forum activity
and
other criteria have allready been given but at the final review
everyone has a
fair chance so its still time to prepare your docs for the contest.
Good luck
everybody!

In the next period, changes to the combat system
will affect
all MP5 players. Strange behaviour, unexpected teleportations and

be
explained.

RPC/PWR competition will end in about one week.
After this,
the first MagicDuel Festival will begin. I cant tell you more about it
right
now because it will be a surprise for all of you, but i tell you you
better be
online in that period. Keep perfecting your roles for the contest, and
make
sure you respect all announcements related to the contest. Your
personal page
and the things in it is most important.

Final stage of the head competition started
At this stage you get score only while online at
Gazebo of
Equilibrium. This stage lasts 24 hours and its a good oportunity to
dramaticaly
change the top positions because a lot of heads will gather in a big
ball and
whoever will controll that ball will get a lot of score points fast.
Good luck
to all and remember there are no rules on how you should hold those
heads as
much as you can, anything is allowed, may the best player win!
[2008-08-31 04:14:31 - Alpha 7]
Additional inner magic docs have been dispatched
to rpc
players. Currently there are 12 documents in game, more to be added.
You can
find a detailed list about current documents and who holds them on the
forum.
For those who dont know yet, and i am sorry to find out that some rpc's
dont
know that also, inner magic is totaly different than the regular
'outer' magic
spells. You can not cast them, you can only collect inner magic docs.
Read more
about it on the forum.
[2008-08-31 03:15:28 - Alpha 7]
Forum structure changed. Each land has now its own
separate
section in the forums and all progress will be tracked separately for

leaders or other rpc;s. Several secret features will require temporary
restrictions to some game areas. Only most important things will be
announce on

[2008-08-28 04:09:21 - Alpha 7]
Intriguing change, but what else to expect in an
unusual
game other than an unusual event. Master Wodin is now no longer the
person you
knew before, but its a public role, occupied/invoked by whoever will
rule the
Guerrila Golemicarum alliance. The .Wodin Ullr. character was
apperantly
deserted by its rightfull owner, but because he achieved such a huge
popularity, the character will permanently remain in the game even if
its owner
will change from time to time. This unusual change is the first step
towards
predefined game roles that regular player can occupy if they fulfill
certain
requirements. I am open to opinions on this. If the feedback is good,
other
deserted rpc roles will become open as public role, and some even
specialy
created for that, if not, then i will keep deserted characters just as
legends
in the game and allow owners to resume them anytime they want. Please
use the
forum for feedback. This is a very important decision for the game
future
expansion.

Trophy head competiton started!
All players receive a trophy head periodicaly,
every
victoryous fight will give you all the heads the enemy has cumulating
the in
one big head ball. The more heads you have the more dificult is to hold
them
because of the temporary skill handicap they give during a fight. The
contest
consists of two stages, in first stage you can get score in all
locations where
you can fight depending on how many heads you gather. Second stage
triggers
when all top players in each MP group reach at least score. In this
second
stage, score will be counted only in a strategic location of the map
during an
entire day. Players that allready won the contest may participate but
may not
win the contest again. First place will get a medal. Stats rewards will
be

Inner magic is finaly here. Just a couple of rpc's
have
ability to grant as reward inner magic documents, but their number will
grow
the next days. Goal is that every single rpc and even some pwd, will be
able to
give as reward for their quests and puzzles one of the inner magic
docs. You
can aquire only one certain doc type from a rpc. Try to collect as many
as you
can and complete your document collection. More info on inner magic
will come
soon. Pleaes know that inner magic does not refere to magic abilities
in the
game such as the "outer magic" part. Read the info on the magic page
to better understand its purpose. Back To The Top Of The

RPC and PWD that need upload space for their quest
related
materials such as pictures or other files, including scripts, i can
setup a
dedicated space for you. Please send playername and id on my email with
subject
"mdrpc ftp request". Permanent RPC's that wish a @magicduel.com email
can also have one.

All players that want a tag/description, all pwd
that want a
special ability or extended role, and all rpc's that want 'something',
please
add these demands on your first part of your personal page. Your wishes
will be
considered only in relation to what follows them and that means your
role and
current roleplaying profile, quest, or other info you allready have
there. Your
wishes will be granted if you win, but you will not win if your wishes
are exagerated,
so try to keep a good balance. for tag and description requests add 3
possible
tags and a 250char description. Put this info on first line separated
from the
rest. The less megalomaniac your role is the better chances you have to
get it.
You should focus on roles/tags that are not of general meaning (bad ex:
Master
Wizard) but more specific and with personality (good ex: Explorer of
Numbers).
[2008-08-24 15:17:39 - Alpha 6]
Contest will be extended for a longer period
because the
number of players that need to be reviewed is huge and also because
there are
other things i want to prepare for the contest and those things take
time. So
enjoy it, prizes will be also "extended" :)
[2008-08-21 04:51:17 - Alpha 6]
Together with the rewards there will be also
penalties for
those RPC's that stoped creating interesting quest or are simply to
long time
away from the game, so expect the RPC list to be "cleaned" and some
will be moved to PWD.

In the attempt to populate remote lands, players
that will
pick a role related to such a remote land, like loreroot, or the
archives, or
even more distant lands, will have better chances. If your role will be
related
to a distant location, then you will need to stay around that location.
If you
claim a role for a distant location and the role is not well integrates
with
that location or has no meaning related to that place, or you spend
your time
in other places such as the sanctuary or the willow shop, then it will
be
considered you are not playing your role and you will not be voted, so
please
pick such a role only if you are up to it. Back To The Top Of The

Special prize opportunity: one of the many extra
prizes will
be for the best puzzle/riddle. ALL PLAYERS, regardless if they are
RPC.PWD,LHO
or regular player , regardless of activity days, please provide on your
personal pages (you find the papers in the Archives north) , a detailed
info on
the puzzle or riddle you want to participate with. Try to keep it well
separated from other info there and indicate that its for the contest
review.
Dont mess all info in one big salad or it wont be taken into
consideration. The
reward for this special price will be kept secret untill the contest
ends but
will be proportional to the puzzle you will make. Base rule for making
a good
puzzle/riddle is to have the answer obvious but at the same time very
well
hidden. Associate artworks and/or schemes with your puzzle for a much
higher
chance to win this prize. If you can put a pen on paper and make a
scheme then
do it. Scan or photo it, put it on a web somewhere and paste it in your
page.
Once you have it ready please pm shoeps providing your playername/id
and
mention you have prepared the puzzle for this contest so that it will
be
reviewd when the time comes. (This is a sample of how a very good
original
puzzle looks like, > here <, but you can participate with any
kind of
puzzle)

RPC's are requested to review personal pages,
logs, and
general activity of PWD and LHO players. Each RPC will select a list of
players
and give them a score, a possible tag and a possible role. The voting
will be
as described on the contest page. The first 3 players in each RPC's
voting list
will receive a vote, the others will be considered also and if more
rpc's will
mention same player on lower positions that player will also get a
vote. Now
this is new: RPC's will get a vote from me and shoeps based on these
lists, for
the way they will make it and the way they will decide on what PWD
should
receive their vote and the tag/role sugestions. So the first vote for
RPC's
will be for them voting the PWD and LHO players. Keep these lists
updated in
the next week. At some point you will be requested to send all gathered
info
for review. Other contest tasks will be announced on the way for all
player
categories.

voters of this contest are handpicked and the final contest decision

This time, the head contest occurs during a time
when
alliance mode mixes with normal mode and also other things can affect
the
fairness of the contest. To avoid any confusion, i want to make clear
that the
contest will run all the time just the same, regardless of what
advantages or
disadvantages a party or an other has. All the players start the game
with same
chances, and if you think that someone is to powerfull and will win the
contest
because of that, then think also that he will win because he struggled
a lot to
get those powerfull stats and benefits. The contest itself can not be
considered fair, but what it represents its fair enough. Like always,
the
contest can be won by pure force or by using your brain to find ways of
getting
the score ahead other players. You can win the contest only once and
winning it
does not mean you are the best player, but means you are a smart
fighter. To be
best player in this game means more than just fighting well but winning
contests its one step ahead.

MagicDuel grows bigger and bigger and because of
this, I
assigned organizatoric roles to some of you and build teams that will
be
responsable of managing the game from now on. As the game grew, i
started to
lose more and more time with things that actualy slow the game
evolution
instead of making it evolve faster, things like pm's, individual
profile fixes,
answering stupid questions, etc, so i do these organizatoric changes so
i can
focus again on expanding the game with new features and make it grow
even
faster. I hearby announce that .Shoeps. will be from now on manager of
the game
and his role will be to centralize and controll all game matters, and
replace
as much as possible my role so far. Please don't flood him with newb
questions,
his business is mainly with the team leaders and rpc/lho's. As a game
manager
he will be neutral and will not interfear with the different factions
and
guilds formed in the game, but he will take decisions on how the game
and story
will progress based on the information gathered from the team leaders
and role
players. Shoeps deserves your full respect and his word counts as much
as mine
does, as i let him entirely responsable for what will go on with the
game from
now on. From now on, my "role" will be focused on controlling the
main direction the game will head, the development of game features,
new areas,
game secrets and magic. Even if you will see me online from time to
time, i
will not talk to much because i will be probably be busy with testing
stuff in
that location so try not to PM me anymore regardless of reason. Player
roles
will be given out by the new game manager too. I will post soon a list
of
official peope and what area of the game each one controlls (like
translations,
support, legends, forum, etc).
p.s: i will play from time to time on different
roles that i
do enjoy very much, and maybe sometimes temporarly takeover some rpc
roles so
that i can shift story in the direction i want to or to place strategic
rumors
and information in the game, ... i enjoy the game too much to stay away
from it
too long :P
With respect for the finest and smartest player
community
the online rpg world has ever seen,
You can now change the person who you are an adept
of! This
will get a special use soon.

also they will come for a price. The decision will be made by you throu

For becomming a LHO (Live Help operator) and guide
new
players you can contact .Jonn. in game, he is the official manager of
LHO team.
For those that don;t know yet, becomming LHO is one of the many ways
you can
get deeper in the game and involved with its development. Like all
other ways
you first have to actualy DO what you are suppose to be doing and only
after
that you can claim to be recognized and allowed in the team.

Several alliances started in connection with the
current
adventure log events. They allow just 10 members and their leaders will
invite
only those that they think fit. An alliance must be prepare both for
millitary
challenges AND quest/adventure challenges, so leaders will look both
for high
profiles but also for fresh creative minds. Anything can happen, there
are no
rules, the game world will change based on the story evolution and the
story
changes based on your actions and decisions.
[2008-07-08 23:42:02 - Alpha 6]
For those of you that started the initial alliance
tests and
set the alliance names: Alliance mode will be reintegrated in the game
but with
a different use. Curretnly existing alliances , including their logo,
will be
reassigned to players according to adventure log events, or other
criteria, so
if you see your alliance in game, ruled by soeone else, this is the
reason why.
Alliances will be from now on related to a good reason/quest/story not
free for
all. More info on alliances comming soon.

Your avatar, your playername and your attitude in
the game ,
these are the 3 most important factors that have to be well integrated
with
eachother for a good profile. By attitude i understand the personality
you
assume, the initiative you have towards game events and discussions,
how much
you actualy play, and how well you can solve rpc quests. These are the
factors
that you should care about, not only brute force fighting and gaining
of stats.
After you have all these then some of you will ge a custom tag, based
on their
attitude, if they stand out in a way or they get known for something,
and that
tag is your first step towards a role as a MagicDuel game
character...aka RPC.
You should actualy play a role you pick good before getting one
officialy.

Mods, or other role playing characters int the
game may not
threaten you with banning because you attack them, or because you play
in a
certain way. In general they wont threaten you with ban at all, if you
do
stupid things you will get a warning if you are lucky but in general
threatening with ban is not only not allowed but it wont happen because
if you
do something that needs that kind of threat you will get banned
directly. Main
reasons for banning a player are: Chat flood with advertising, cursing
in newb
areas, sending of spam via pm, obsessivly talking dirty in public areas
and
ignoring mod warnings. There is a huge freedom in here comparing to
other
games, you are even allowed to talk dirty in chat if you wish so, but
NOT in public
places where other may consider it offending, please try to keep things
decent
and play as friends not death enemies.

This game allows multiple accounts so that players
can
experiment different ways of play. One thing you should know about is
that if
you do illegal actions, like credit card fraud, using false emails,
impersonating other player, or other things that are considered illegal
here,
ALL your accounts will be blocked, and in some cases IP adress too.
Attempt to
do illegal actions is the same with doing them. Several players have
been
permanently banned due to these reasons.

MagicDuel wants to promote and support emerging
web games
that have ORIGINAL ideeas. The gaming industry has a tendency to focus
on fixed
patterns of games, that have success and bring in money for their
developers
but and new games with new, maybe better ideeas, do not stand a chance.

survive
with a new game. If you knwo about a _small_ game with a great and
original
ideea please post on the forum in a dedicated topic (mods pls create
it). We
will review it and contact you. All we want to do is to help those
developers
FOR FREE, with advertising, consulting, support or even server power,

RPC rules: unlike hardocded game puzzles and
quests, MP
level does not matter to rpc given quests and achievements of such
quests or
progress does not reset when you advance to other mindpower level. Each
rpc may
give other quests from time to time and in that case you can get an
other
reward from same rpc, but never twice the reward for same quest. All
you
progress with rpc (game characters) or quest giving players is recorded
and
contributes to your overall identity in the game..that can be reflected
later
in things that will amaze you ;) Back To The Top Of The

New reward concept: WISHPOINTS. For now wishpoint
count will
be kept only by rpc's (game characters , playernames that include dots
at start
and end) . Wishpoints can be given just by RPC's BUT rpc's can and
should
include as part of their quests the requirement to solve other
secondary role
giving players quests (players officialy designated to do this only).
Wishpoints will be tracked later in a way visible by the player.
Wishpoints
stand for a general reward , not determined yet, but flexible. They are
like a
currency of quest solving, you earn wish points and then you use them
in
several points like getting a wish granted from an other rpc or
converting them
in credits or getting a free pass to a new land or many other things
later in
the game. The reward conversion ratio will not be 1=1 so some
rewards/wishes
will cost more wishpoints to be grated. As from this point on,
WISHPOINTS are
the official reward given by rpc's at the end of a quest chain, if the
rpc
wishes so it can give both custom reward and wishpoint. Some rpc's will
be able
to convert your wishpoints in rewards at a later time. (public request
to rpc's
to keep a record of these new rules and teach them to next generations
of
rpc's, or prepare them in detail form, thnx)

Several changes made to the way honor is
calculated now.
negative honor will be reduced 3 times while positive honor will be
multiplied
2 times. Rules for victorious fights changed as follows: minimum
casualties or
regeneration for both players set to +/-15%, minimum difference between
players
set to 35% (more easy to get victorious fights). "Defeated" fight
outcome rules also changed, now you need 85% difference between player
casualties to have a counted lost fight (harder to get lost fights).
These
values will probably change as the new system is fine tuned, please
check the
help pages from time to time to make sure you are up to date with the
latest
changes (ballancing fights page and more info page near player list)

won
fights. All counters for all players have been ballanced, try to keep
them
ballanced from now on. Honor was reset to zero for all players to clean
the
system from previous unballanced play.

As the trophy head contest advances, Bootes rulez
MP3 group
with over 8700 score, but gacontnt has a huuge number of 1422 heads,
phlegmtheorem leads MP4 with 5500 points closly followed by freakidz
with 4200
points. It seems the battle for MP4 will be for place 3, but who knows
what
will happen in the second stage. MP5 group is suprisinlgy the slowest
evolving,
dst leads with 3000 points but currently with no heads. Most of the
heads are
hold in a big ball by Eldrad that stays offline maybe in an attepmt to
preserve
his score but he is slowly dropping as other players take over higher
positions
in the top. MP5 seem less interested in winning this contest then i was
thinking, maybe if they know that the reward includes credits too , 5k
vit and
valuepoints (permanent increase) plus 10-40 permanent increase to each
skill
...will that be motivating enough? :P Good luck everybody!

the weirdest thing to announce on changelog
probably ...
There is a new "secret feature" in the game, more to come without
notice or clues. Usualy secrets are to be discovered at the edge of
game functionality,
or when you achieve something nice that aparently has no use. Currently
there
is only ONE released but soon there will be plenty more (so DONT start
trying
to achieve 666 value points because you wont get a daemon creature -
stupid
example) ... well at least not yet :) ..who knows what could happen in
the
future. These features will be implemented silently into the game and
not
announced on the changelog from now on, but you will know you found a
secret
once you do. Please do not PM me about clues, i wont give any not even
to old
mods, secrets are to be found. Documenting or sharing of such secret
features
is not allowed.

I am searching for volunteers to test something.
players
that join this test will be separated into 2 groups A and B to test a
possible
new alliance mode. Game will last for a longer period, probably 1-2
weeks or
more, during this test your win/loss balance can go wild or other
unpredictable
things may happen to your profile. Players that can participate in this
test
must have mp4 or mp5 (no mp3). During the test no complains or requests
to quit
will be accepted as this test will also test player reaction in
different
situations. Rpc accounts may not participate but associated accounts
may.
@Forum mods please initiate appropriate forum topic and provide support
with
this. I need 2 clear playername lists for group A and group B, Alliance
icons

will be "good".

Mindpower 3 players are not affected by the latest
combat
mode change (see previous log entry), they allways get victorious
fights
because they need wins anyway. So from now on mp4+ combats will have
this
difference.

Combat mode change.
There is a difference now between a WINNER and a
VICTOR
...both win the fight (creatures get xp and won fights, all benefits
etc) but
just the VICTORIOUS gets a won fight increment for its fight ballance.
This way
lost fights will be more often because they will be counted every time
and won
fights will much harder to get and more valuable. Winning a fight
remains
unchanged, its just if the fight is counted or not as a won fight that
changes.
The rules for a VICTORIOUS fight are that the loser loses over 30% more
vitality than you do and that both players lose more than 20%, like
this, fake
fights or loss farming will not generate unwated won fights anymore.
Also some
situations where the player is absolutly pulverised by the oponent
(100% vs 0%)
wont result in a victorius fight for the winner and if the fight
results are
too close the winner will also not have a victorius fight counted.
WARNING:
This is an important change that its still in testing and it might
entirely
change the way you got used to play so far.

collaboration
to solve riddles and quests and ... A new type of hybrid game
characters, such
as the Knator Commander and many others to come really soon. These
characters
are depicted from the "Adventure log" and they fulfill different
tasks creating even more interactivity within the game. Each character
will
have special abilities and will be able to influence the game world and
the
players in a special way, the possibilities are endless. One other
change that
comes with Alpha 6 is an important combat mode modification that will
entirely

Creature ability "Protect" its from now on called
"Martirism" because this better describes what it does and the way it
is used to gain losses. Ability does the same, takes vitality from the
creature
and gives to friendly creature increased resistance to attacks, this is
often
used to actualy lose a fight by self inflicted damage. [Translators

All story branches fixed to display an aditional
final
chapter page. One of the story branches has now access to CHAPTER 3,
this
branch is not much and just some took that path. More updates regarding
chapter
3 release are on the way. Even if more places open up in chapter 3, the
active
areas such as creature recruit or other type are NOT finalized , so you
will
get to reach those facilities but you wont be able to use them YET.
(its better
than nothing and its a step forward towards full chapter 3). If you
experience
any problems (like getting stucked) during the new ch3 story branch

game but if some of you dont contribute with enough subscriptions i
have no
option but to move it on an other bad hosting and limit it further more
so that
it can still run... and you dont want that. This time i realy hope we

New premium creature available at the MDShop! The
BoodPact
Heretic Archer is part of the Chapter II creature collection and
features a new
ability to boosts ALL your Heretic Archer, Dark Archer and Chaos Archer
units
during a fight. It upgrades over 6 levels featuring premium color
artworks.
The creature can be found on the powerups branch.
As i
announced long ago, each branch will have a premium creature or more
hidden in
it. The reason for this is that creatures are much more dificult to
implement,
especialy ones with new abilities, and since all the items in mdshop
have same
price, they have to be distributed evenly and not all in one place. Its
no
secret that some of the items in mdshop should be much more expensive
and some
much more cheaper so organizing items like this makes it fair for
everybody. Back To The Top Of The

you
continue to have multiple connections you will permanently get blocked
from
accessing the game (automaticaly)... and i wont bother editing the
firewall for
each one of you that gets blocked just because you could not follow
this simple
rule. Multiple accounts are still allowed, but using them all at the

sanctuary is now 6 instead of 15, so if you have more than 6 heads and
you are
in a sanctuary you are no longer protected by it. As soon as you lose
your
heads you are again protected.

Artists are welcome to try their skills in
building MD

be used
anywhere else once they become MD avatars, (no forum avatars, no web
gallery,
nothing and i mean it) , and you receive 3 credits for each avatar that
you
make and its added to the MD avatar gallery. Avatars must not be
cartoon like,
or comics, or anime, or that type, keep the magicduel lookfeel
please. If
i like your work more tasks are available and for greater number of
avatars

have to look like the current ones,...just do your best and email the
results

Extra combat reward for players keeping their
fights
balanced. If you keep your won/lost fight difference lower than 20
fights you
get much more Xp and combat reward, up to 200% more than usual. For
those who
don't know, in this game your goal is to keep that balance steady, not
to win
like crazy, this is very uncommon for most of you , and as new players
find it
dificult to win, older players find it much more dificult to lose. At
later
stages, some players do afford to keep winning, but thats only for very
few of
you, (6mil xp +)

All players received a "shop reset", you can reset
the shop only once if you wish to do so. Posible reasons for shop reset
are: in
case you are unable to meet requirements for deeper level items and you
want to
reuse permanent boosters, or you want to get an aditional limited
edition
creature that you already recruited at the shop, or maybe you run out
of
available items. More shop resets will be available later at end levels

Protector
players will be "caster" players that will have armies of other players

New feature, next to your nice and shine heat
indicator,
called "Erolin device" in this game, you will see two small round
things. They can store heat 1000 points each. When you have over 1000
heat
points (by fighting, moving, upgrading, and other ways) you can click
your
Erolin device and all heat in it will go to the small round things
there so
that you can use it later by clicking them. Be carefull thou, all heat
over
your storage capacity (2000 points) will get lost and also if you have
for
example 1900 heat and click the device you will store just 1000 and
lose the
900, so be carefull how you use it, its tricky.
For those who don't know what heat is fore, heat
will
multiply your combat reward up to 3 times and will also be used later
to cast
spells.

ANNOUNCEMENT
We are looking for players that can translate the
game in
any other language. This is a voluntary job not a paid one, we are
looking for
people that want to help expand this not to hire. Also because the
translation
requires you to know the game very good, you must have at least 20
activity
days in the game to be selected. There is a lot of work in this so if
you dont
want to get realy involved then please dont start. Please provide full
name,
playername, activity days, real age, and if possible any kind of work
or proof
that states your abilities in that language, beeing a citizen of that
country
is simply not enough. The game has several important sections that
require very
good translations skills and of course very good understanding of the
english
language. Once selected, you will be responsable for language edits
related to
your language and further collaboration (promotion in your country) is
possible
in the future. Please contact me at manu@magicduel.com. Thank you for
understanding,
thank you for reading my bad english :) and hopefully we will see this
game
available to more countries soon.

All level 6 players have been moved to mp 5.
except BigC
that has almost 8mil xp , most should be happy about this. I am trying
to push
all players at lower levels so that there wont be such a divided
gameplay for
now.
[2008-01-17 06:45:25 - Alpha 5]
A lot of players have been reassigned today to a
different
mindpower level based on their TOTAL XP . The ones that dropped a
Mindpower
point should be happy that they can do the story again and gain the
story
bonuses again, the ones that were increased MP level (very very few)
unfortunatly lost their chance to replay the story at that mp level.
Next time
try to avoid staying at a lower mp level when you should advance.
[2008-01-17 06:34:17 - Alpha 5]
Mindpower XP levels increased again. Reason is to
keep players
longer at their mp levels and hopefully improve things during this
period until
the game gets more players. New XP caps are: mp 3-4 200k , 4-5 2,2mil,
5-6
8mil, 6-7 16mil. Xp caps will be dropped when there will be enough
players
online and the place will get crowded again. Back To The Top Of The

All moderators received a spell to get faster to
papercabin
so that they can assist newbs from time to time. Everybody that want to
help
with assisitng newbs are welcome to do so and will receive the spell
but only
after they show that they actualy stay there and help people out. One
other
place to help newbs is the Liquid dust area. The spell can be performed
just by
typing these words in any chat area: "Take me to Paper Cabin".
The one of you that usualy help newbs at that area
but are
not mods, please contact me to give you the spell (PM)
[2008-01-16 11:07:03 - Alpha 4]
We are one step closer to implement M-A-G-I-C in
the game.
Until now there are about 7 spells developed but a lot more (20+) will
be added
in the next days. Total number of spells in the game will be ...
unlimited,
with new additions every now and then. In a few days the spell testing
will
extended to more veteran players and moderators ... but not all. Don't
get mad
that you dont get to test the spells for now, the testing has to be
under
strict controll and we cant open it for everybody yet. After the
testing phase
ends it will take some time to implement them in the current game world
as part
of quests, story bonuses and so on, but at least you know that things
are
moving around here. Other game sections that are actively developed at
this
time are the MagicDuel Archives Map that will be probably released
sooner than
magic. Chapter 3 should also come sometime this month but unfortunatly
i can
promise anything as its depending on someone else not on me. Other
changes have
been done to the closed lands that are pointless to announce on the
change log,
but some of you might have noticed the small addon on the Necrovion
gate :D
[2008-01-15 06:01:18 - Alpha 4]
All items in the Defensive Tower in Loreroot are
now on
stock and configured. Thnx omegaweapon for the sugestions.
[2008-01-15 05:40:37 - Alpha 4]
XP cap required for mp 6 was increased from 2.4
mil to 3.4
mil and for mp7 from 6mil to 7.5mil
We are testing a series of new features to be
implemented in
the near future. Some of the players will use special features that are
not
widely available yet. This is only a test.
[2008-01-14 11:10:07 - Alpha 4]
A major series of changes was made today, if you
notice any
abnormal behavior of the fighting system, chat or profile page please
submit a
report to a moderator including all needed details.
[2008-01-14 01:42:46 - Alpha 4]
Loreroot guards are extreamly strong right now
because some
of the older players complained they want something chalanging ...so
here they
have it :) I will lower guards strength progressively and update the
changelog
about this as more of the advanced player go in. ..but they wont be too
easy to
defeat anyway. Keep in mind this, doesn't matter the total vitality
your
oponent has, it matters how much damage you do or how much life you can
recover
in total during the fight, with the right ritual and creatures anything
can be
defeated.
[2008-01-13 17:44:29 - Alpha 4]
Please stop asking mods how to do the puzzles or
quests,
they are not allowed to spoil, try to figure them out yourself.
[2008-01-13 16:20:01 - Alpha 4]
The shop in Loreroot has out of stoc items, i am
open for
sugestions on their price and bonuses, but only from players that
understand
that prices and bonusses of items bust be made accordingly to game
progress and
the way the can get those value points, not according to their personal
needs
or their own max vp. If you want to help with this, take a look at the
Loreroot
items (when you get there) and make a clear list of what their price
should be
and what bonuses they will offer. Bonuses can include any of the
current player
skills, not only attack and defence. Medusa set should be close to
Sungod set ,
maybe lower with some affordable items. Value points are supposed to be
gained
by fighting and are mostly temporary stats, the maximum valuepoints
stats is
more as a base from where you can gather more value points. so this is
one of
the reasons the items are so much over the players max vp.
Loreroot contains a new area, its use will come
later
however.
[2008-01-13 14:41:15 - Alpha 4]
Loreroot is now open! However you have to finish
the quest
required to enter it. Check the clue page again for additional
info....if you
have no ideea what clue page i am talking about, then go to the guards
and
start your quest there.

Dificult times.
As new changes made players restart their story so
that they
can get to their appropriate Mindpower level, the game looks deserted.
The one
of you that are not in story mode please help us out here and move to
the
Papercabin, Liquid Dust newb area for a while and help some new guys
out. Help
on this is much apreciated.
I will take this oportunity with the game beeing
so empty to
do some bigger changes to it that will probably make interface display
some
errors and such...don't ignore them , report them to me, but take 5-10
minutes
first and see if they are still happening after a refresh. I wont put
the
'maintenance announcement' for now.
Thank you all for helping with this project.
[2008-01-11 15:25:40 - Alpha 4]
We started to implement Loreroot puzzle to unlock
the land.
Parts of this puzzle, such as clues and other interactions are spread
across
different regions. The puzzle is not solvable until its completely
implemented.
Your two options are to wait for it to be completly integrated and then
start
to figure it out, or you can do this from now with the available parts
and
finish it when all parts are integrated. (You may need to revisit
previous
locations and triggers if you chose the second way).

Heat reard for winning battles greatly increased
(Testers keep an eye on heat exploits pls)
[2008-01-10 12:26:11 - Alpha 4]
MAX XP cap. When you reach the required xp to
advance to
next mindpower level you wont get anymore skillpoints reward from the
battles
you win. This will limit players from remaining at lower MP levels but
will
also give them enough time to decide when they want to advance.
(Testing and feedback needed - test if player that
is over
the required xp still gets xp, skills and wins/losses for his creatures
both
when attacked or attacking)
[2008-01-10 12:20:34 - Alpha 4]

describes.
Exemples are : contact *Actraiser* for research jobs on the MagicDuel

trophy head count can change without notice, score can reset, other

Haotic strikes now do damage from 60% to 180% and
player
atack has a great role in that, the more attack youy have the more the
actual
attack fluctuation is. Good for unpredictable fights. (Knator, Grasans)
Formula: osc= 80% of player attack; final attack
is random
from attack - (osc/2) to attack + osc.
[2008-01-06 13:56:44 - Alpha 4]
New side game just started. Consider it sort of
soccer/football
:).
Each player starts with 1 trophy head, everytime
you win
against a player you take all his points (trophy heads) and you lose
all yours
when you are defeated. Only attakers can gain points in this.
Lets see who gathers the most trophy heads!
It wont be easy and for sure most of the advanced
players
will get them eventualy, but this will also make them more attacked by
others..and who knows maybe a newb gets to gahter all and run away with
them .
Game (trophy score) will reset from time to time
and may get
a different role later, for now its just testing it.
A new wave of 17 players has been moved to the
advanced
group (Loreroot game stage). Selection was based on cumulated xp (over
1milion)

"creatures" before. Combo vitality bonus is now added depending of
player maximum vitality and total fights won with that ritual. The more

Steal life ability is now based on Power skill.
Maximum
effect is now limited to 18% instead of 22%. Life stealers are amazing

very strong oponents but unefficient against low life armies. This

creatures.

Alliance gameplay problems: currently alliance
members
experience a huge gameplay problem, there aren't enough players in
alliances to
have a well balanced gameplay and that makes more player leave
alliances and
the problem becomes worse. Changes are in plan so that players can join
alliance without invitation (based on honor) untill then alliance play
is
almost impossible. Considering this, i have to explain some things:
Disbanded
alliances will be available to join by any player later. Inactive
members will
be penalised. PLEASE, strong players stop teaming up in same alliance ,
this
will only cause more problems for now. Wait until the game has enough
players
to mach you and then you can team up, until them you should divide on
separate
sides so that you could fight eachother...its a GAME people, you dont
have to
be enemies with people you fight, you can fight friends too, at least
for now
as this comunity is growing.

Steal life ability changed to do a maximum of 22%
special
damage. Please test this and give me a feedback. For those who don't
know,
steal life is one of the most powerfull creature attacks in the game
and takes
a percentage of enemy creature vitality and gives to your units. Due to
personal character profile, this value could be increased in certain
situations
to values such as 80% or more , making those attacks abnormal. (now
limited to
22%).

Allianace fights now last less rounds. Fight limit

actions for a fight, that means 5 rounds for a full 6(creaures)x2
fight. This
means that you will lose much less vitality during a fight and you will

to attack more peole for shorter fights. Some of the current fighting
ritual
can have different use right now so be carefull when using healing
rituals or
mass attack creatures.

Changes done to prevent players from using empty
rituals and
fake defence ritual. The fighting system will detect if you are using

Like you already know, this game doesnt follow too
much of
other games rules, ... Alliances are and will be considered a distinct
gameplay
stage, not an optional part. For now there is nothing to make you join
an
alliance but as the storyline will continue, there will be tasks that
will
require you to join a side. The chalanging part is that there are not
enough
alliance places available, only 25% of the players will be able to join
one.
This is a multiplayer fight-story-adventure game or call it however you
want
...but even if it starts as a single player adventure, it wont end like
one
..so think of playing multiplayer ..not all players can do that ...so
.....
Why to join an alliance:
Alliance members loose 2% vitaltiy on enemy land,
but regain
1% on friendly land (yeah just by moving around) .
Stronger players advance to alliances so for the
most
intensive fights there's the place for you.
Only alliances can take part to wars!. During wars
you will
have fights without honor penalty
Beeing part of an alliance will be required by the
story in
chapter 3 probably (not sure yet)
Why not to join an alliance yet:
If you are not strong enough don't join an
alliance yet.
fight players around your level to get better stats and upgrade
creatures.
Alliance members should not invite weak players as
they will
probably lower their score later.
You should not join an alliance before exploring
all lands
as you will have a dificult time to do so as part of an alliance
(territory
damage)
You should also make a good judgement on what side
you
choose, changing it later it will cost you honor points and also will
make you
loose the allaince loyalty (increases one point per day inside an
alliance)
Luck profile value changed, now it has only 30%
chance to
apply in a fight but only when the luck difference between players is 3
times.
[2007-10-27 03:48:04 - Alpha 4]
Big gameplay change .. normal player can attack
only normal
players and alliance members can attack only allaince members. Members
of same
alliance cant attack themselves anymore.

will get damage while in MB and wil regenerate in Loreroot.
[2007-10-26 13:26:33 - Alpha 4]
Alliance members get healed while on own territory
and get
damage on enemy territory. So now if you are part of an alliance and
want to
heal just move around. Players not part of an alliance are immune to
all that
..for now.
[2007-10-26 13:20:35 - Alpha 4]
Lands of LOREROOT are now OPEN. Alliance members
that get
there will take damage unless they are part of loreroot. I will decide
soon
what alliances go to Loreroot. Loreroot people have different
regeneration time
and values, also different land bonuses (not final). Members of
Loreroot get
damage while in Marind Bell. There aren't many things to get in LR now
, except
explore the lands. New LR specific creatures will be available as LR
gets
populated by players.
We are one step away from territory wars, so many
changes
right now may seem wrong for some of you, such as territory damage, but
they
will all make sense once the players will be divided between the two
lands, LR
and MB.
For now distribution of players on lands is done
by me
manualy, but as soon as chapter 3 is up, players will get on the lands
based on
story outcome. Back To The Top Of The

wait..... if i am not in an
alliance how can i have this paper?
I was unaware of my hunger for about 12 years at which time I
went to one of Mur's parties before the festival. At that festival i
got very hungry, and so i decided to try to eat the gizzebo. I had know
for a long time that my mouth was bigger than most, but i never
realized that i could eat things that normal people couldn't. About a
day later I went to one of Ren's parties there i exhibited my
strangeness by eating one of the mattresses that they were using for
mattress racing. A little later during the same party i got bored so i
decided to make my home here just above the entrance to the archives so
i could see anyone coming or going. First i ate out a nice sized hole
in the wall, and then i formed some of that into a table, 2 chairs, a
refrigerator, a bed, sheets, pillows, and a shelf, then i made a door
with a lock and an eye hole. Then i ate out a space in the wall
creating a built in shelf. I have been sleeping there every night since
until I built my underground city. I would choose my own rank but Khal
seems to get mad when I do that so I have to refrain from that.:(
Now here is what we have to offer here in the underground city:
Hotels
You can stay in one of the hotels, they have all different room sizes.
(If we don't already have it we will make the correct room size.) It
costs 100 BoReD a night and it includes an all you can eat buffet, and
unlimited drinks. To get you food just show the ticket you will be
given to the person at the door of the bar. Groups larger than 4 people
will have to call in advance so that we can get a table ready for your
entire group. With the booking of at least 1 night in one of the many
hotels. You also get free roam of the city and the privilege of riding
on the Bored Subway. (If you wish to start a hotel please contact me.
There will be charges that apply)
Entertainment

WINDSPIRIT
WindSpirit is a long adventurer who belongs to an ancient race whom
have evolved from their human shells. They have become spirits but not
quite. (Don't ask me what, I'm making this up as I go!) Her people have
become stagnant in their collection of old tomes of useless
information. Windy decided to seek adventure after enduring centuries
of boring lectures at the University of "Everything We Know" or EWKU
for short.
DESCRIPTION:
Long wavy red hair down to waist, usually worn in a braid or tied at
the bottom.
Bright green eyes
5 ft. 7" tall.
Buxomly proportioned.
Athletic build but not skinny.
Looks real, feels real, but Windy is really not physically tangible.
She uses her magic to look real.
Wears a drawstring blouse with poet sleeves and an intricate
embroidered vest with a long tufted "shirt tail"
Matching knickers with knee high boots.
Feisty
Hot Tempered
Intelligent
Wicked sense of humor, almost dark.

"THE LOOK"
The kind of look a mother gives to an errant child. Tee Hee!
THE WIND RAIN PUB
Wind or Windy, as everyone likes to call HER, Co-owns a magical pub
called The Wind Rain Pub with Lady Ailith; not unlike that secret
room of Harry Potter's. Ale is the main drink that is offered, but if
you want something else, it can be made available. If you don't have
"money" we will draw you up a tab. Please be sure to pay your tabs up.
Drinks cost whatever you throw on the table. Meals are negotiable.
Speak with Chef Toni Fargo.
The pub is only open when either Windy or Lady Ailith are there and
will fade 30 minutes after the both of them leave, so travelers still
nursing their tankards will be unpleasantly surprised after that, as
all spirits disappear and any good ale buzzes one might have achieved
as well, even persnickardness. (Is this a word? SageWoman made it up.)
DESCRIPTION: Two-story dwelling with 14 rooms/bath with attached
balconies and flowerboxes.
1st Floor: The pub proper is large with a huge fireplace and sitting
area to left of the entrance, several tables and chairs and bar stools
at the bar. Masterhahn and NightBane99 are our bartenders.

equipped to meet all aspects of potion making and distillery.
THE KITCHEN
Toni Fargo is our new Chef!! THE KITCHEN IS NOW OPEN!
THE BOOTH
THE BOOTH is a special place for the owners and special friends to sit
and chat and gossip. Windy bought Silver Renard, a very cute fox, a bed
so he doesn't have to sleep on the floor as he refuses to sit at THE
BOOTH. This sitting area is always in caps because Windy loves a good
joke and every time we use it that way, an imaginary sound not unlike
the "who done it" sound plays. THE BOOTH is a huge hard carved booth
carved in Necronian Cherry and was carved by Farty who used to be
Windy's bartender and protector. Seats 8 people. WOE TO THE PERSON IN
THE MIDDLE! NO PRIVY ACCESS! LOL
SECURITY
Necromage Mort is our Chief of Security, Neubis, Master S, and Igor
(Morty's dead minion) are now our bouncers and protectors.
LEFT- HANDED WEED
WindSpirit loves a good drink but can't get drunk unless she adds
left-handed weed to her drink. THIS WILL MAKE THE DRINKER, PERSNICKARD
{WAY DRUNK} AFTER ONE TANKARD! She likes to sneak it into unsuspecting
new customers drinks as a prank, unless, of course, they were smart
enough to read this document first. ALSO CALLED THE "SPECIAL".
Left-handed weed is a purple plant that looks uncannily like a left
hand, ergo, left-handed weed. The only place this is found is outside
the horrid Carnival that she got stuck in when she entered this realm.
She fears this place above all others. Even above Hades itself.
CHASER WEED
The second weed the Pub stocks is called Chaser Weed, which is
sprinkled into the Ale to prevent hangovers. It is also good to use for
all kinds of nasty bug bites, particularily the spider bite. It must be
boiled and then used as a poltice.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
Whenever you or someone in the pub says "snicker snicker", the next
person must say another candy bar name. It is loads of fun when
everyone in the room plays the game! Note: Stormrunner refuses to play
this game no matter how much I torture him. LOL
SECRET NOONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND
The pub is an extension of Windy because she creates it. Every time
someone trashes the place, they inadvertently attack Windy. The pub IS
WindSpirit. This does not hurt Windy physically, but it does make her
very very ANGRY. Like a momma bear protecting her cub. Will get quite
upset and then flies into a black rage. Not a pretty sight.
LODGING
We have 14 rooms: 75 gold coins per night Sorry! NO VACANCIES!
The only problem with our rooms is that if we leave, our guests will be
sleeping on the cold hard ground. We need to get permission to make the
Wind Rain Pub permanent.
TASTER'S CHOICE
"Taster's Choice" coffee is WindSpirit's own special brew. It is made
from the finest coffee beans that only the White Elves grow. The only
trouble is that Wind fiddled around with it so it gives the "taster"
the immediate {desperate} need to pee when their cup is empty. Wind's
idea of a great joke. Woe to those who think they can drink it
unaffected. She will give those who think they can hold their water a
very large cup!
RULES TO LIVE BY:
1. Do not bring your own hooch to the pub unless you give the owners
some kegs of it.
2.Do not tick off Necromage Mort, who is our Chief of Security.
3. Magic does not work in the pub, there is a negation spell. Your
magic will fizzle. The Only ones who get away with that are Mages.
4. Do not carve on our tables.
5. Do not narrate without reading this document first.
6. Do not tick off Windy. She isn't called Windy for nothing.
(SageWoman's favorite line.)
7. No swearing. Use [censored] for dirty words.
8. Do not get in Windy's face, ask Zleip why.
9. Do not give BabyBlueRowen anything laced with Left-Handed Weed, or
else. (18 year old daughter)
10. Do not play with Hell Fire (Stormy that means thee) or weapons in
the pub proper. A weapon's room has been made for this purpose.
11. Do not kick my walls or throw weapons at them.
12. Stormrunner is off limits....WE ARE OFFICIALLY A COUPLE.
13. Do not hurt Windy. Stormy and every male customer for miles will
hunt you down like the DOG YOU ARE.
"The Djinn came down like the lioness pride,
Their warbanners streaming with sabretooth hyde.
Mystical blades were like stars in the sky,
Thirsting for blood of the Gypsy Jedai."
-The Gi'Doses Chronicles-
A day of reckoning...
Where does one begin to tell the tale of a race without known origen?
Servants or masters? Philanthropists or conquerors? Stories are handed
down through generations portraying Djinn in these roles others.
The truth of their nature is lost forever within the abyss of knowledge
that is long without record. One thing is known for certain... placing
your trust in the Djinn cradles angel, as well as assassin, with one
whimsical choice. But, it is said, once befriended by a member of this
most noble enigmatic race, the imagination cannot fathom the
depths at which he, or she, will strive to prove their loyalty.
For thousands of millenia the Djinn have been ruled by Zarubeth. His
second in command personal body gaurd, Q'Sharu, planned led the Djinn
massacre against the Gypsy clan of the Jedai. No human
could match the powers of the Djinn. Not even the mystical Jedai
Gypsies, with their mastery over the metaphysical realm, could begin to
stand up to the onslaught of the Djinn warriors. Why the conflict
started in the first place, if there even was a valid reason, will
never be known. The Gi'Doses Chronicles merely record it, they make no
attempt to explain it.
The savage island of Sanangia (the largest main among the
Sanangian Island Group found deep in the core of the Dragons Triangle)
was home to the Gypsy Nations. The Jedai were the ruling clan of the
Gypsies a theocracy by nature. Masters of the mystic arts, they
dwelt between this world the next, together known as the
"Sanangian Realm".
King Sterling Lexx his beautiful wife Aspen, along with the rest
of the Gypsy empire, were completely caught off gaurd when Q'Sharu his
Djinn assassins overwhelmed the island nation. "Take no
prisoners", was the chant that rang out as Jedai fell by the
thousands. Q'Sharu himself slew King Sterling, as he turned to
butcher the Kings bride his eyes took in the beauty of Aspen. Q'Sharu
had never before seen such a vision... a vision of grace charm,
of beauty incarnate. He knew at that moment he could not kill this one,
he must have her for his own. His Djinn heart was overcome with love
for a human.
It has been said that 'war makes strange bedfellows', though
Q'Sharu was the enemy, the ravager of her land, the murderer of her
husband King... as Aspen beheld this magnificent being in front
of her, her soul became one with his. In the heat of the moment passion
had it's way they made love while the battle raged on outside.
Afterward, Q'Sharu realized Aspen could never be allowed to return
with him to the world of the Djinn. She would be an outcast, she would
never be accepted life for her would be unbearable. So Q'Sharu
secreted her away from the battle allowed her to live knowing if
he ever tried to see her again it would only put her in peril he
would be seen as a traitor... this would be the last time they could
ever be together. The heart of a Genie was broken, but it was for the
best.
The war has ended months passed... Aspen dwells in the land of Orient.
Her own Sanangian Kingdom now a part of the Djinn Empire, she dare not
return. The child, Gjinja, was born in the hot summer months grew
quickly. Strong, beautiful intelligent, Aspen could see the
child's father in her... the dark hair deep blue eyes of the
Djinn. As the years passed, Gjinja's mother taught her the Jedai ways
of alchemy the mystic arts. And while Gjinja excelled in these,
the natural Djinn powers strength of her father became her forte.
Physically mentally disciplined in Shao'Lin temples, trained in
the mystic ways of the Jedai, endowed with the natural abilities of the
mysterious race of the Djinn, sole heiress to a Kingdom stolen from her
before she was even born... Gjinja left her childhood home behind to
find her own way in the world. But, she dreams of a day of reckoning.
To build an army of her own, return to the Sanangian Realm, one
day take back what is rightfully hers. She is torn between the loss of
her heritage, her love for the father she cannot know.
