| − | In Taara's wake the earth crumbled. [[Recent History|Gods fell]], others rose, and the race of mankind looked forward and saw the destruction of nations. For five years, [[Magitech and Magic|necrotech]] seared the world's landscape and forces unknown decimated the once-insurmountable Walls of Charn. [[Locations|Nations]] turned against one another with the vanishing of monarchs--brother to brother and kin to kin. During the struggles, the nation of Dragonier attempted to keep the peace before it, too, fell. Other nations threatened to follow. |

| − | "Think they're better'n we are," snorts one man. He speaks, he says, on behalf of a number of [[Alexandria|Alexandrians]] about the recent arrivals. Well, not that many arrivals. A few [[llyranesi]] have come into the City as part of a trade caravan. One of the first things they did was pay their respects among the Seers of Eluna. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Regardless of local feelings, the [[llyranesi]] do not appear to have done anything (yet, according to another resident), and one's volunteered his time to assist the [[Eluna|Seers]] with the refugee issue. Mrs. Corinth, who lives not too far off of Firelight, thought she saw one "cracking a smile, though it was more like...kind of like a fishtail. You know, straight, then all the sudden it twitches." |
||

||
| − | |||
| − | He added, "It will probably be quiet this year." The Seers it seems, have alot on their plate. The refugees (some from as far away as [[Veyshan]], or further) have taken the City's outskirts by storm, and while the [[Althea|Hearthguards]] see to their comfort and wellfare, the Elunites have taken it on themselves to see to minds and curiosities. |

His great footfalls caused much panic, as random farmers or hunters took to flight to avoid a fateful confrontation. Strange rumors have circulated that a woman in armor with a Blue Rose accompanies the giant. Reports have come from the Druid's grove that the giant is a fellow druid, and means no harm. He resides at the Druid's grove to recuperate from wounds he sustained during his travels. Speculations have flown about as to why the giant has come to the grove, and why was he wounded. The Druid Grove guardians have refused to comment further. |

Latest Events
We are in the process of transitioning to AresMUSH and Pathfinder 2e. Due to the aging nature of our database, we have locked character creation.
We are in the final stretch to the new iteration of our game! As a result, new character registration is completely closed for new players and existing players.
