Welcome to an Age of Heroes

In Taara's wake the earth crumbled. Gods fell, others rose, and the race of mankind looked forward and saw the destruction of nations. For five years, necrotech seared the world's landscape and forces unknown decimated the once-insurmountable Walls of Charn. 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.

Now returned from the Mists, Alexandria finds itself thrown into a world in turmoil. In this world, the Pantheon of Light strides forward in anger, the Twilight fall into debate, and the forces of Darkness are locked in a war between Maugrim and Taara. High arcana soars over the landscape with the renewed activity of the Old Races, while guilds and organizations struggle to find their footing with the fall of Rune. The elves and dwarves have moved forward into the world once again, driven by the perceived neglect of the world by humankind.

The world had waited for the return of Alexandria and the return of the Myrrish and Bludgun kings for five years--only to find Alexandria suddenly returned unchanged, and unknowing, from the Land of Mists. To Alexandria, the War of Sendor is just days past. To the world--

It is the time for heroes.

Recent Website Updates

May 18, 2011

Our website turned a year old just a few months ago, though many of you have known it for less than that. As a belated celebration, we're in the middle of giving the races pages a bit of a spruce-up. So, take a peek, leave a few comments as we try this out.

Tomorrow is our last day for Veyshan Month, so please get in plots while you can. We've a few on the backlog, and will be making an effort to get them processed by Monday.

One of our DMs has graciously provided some materials on handling Grapples, so head on over to Pathfinder Resources and check it out. You can also find this by clicking New to Pathfinder under the Getting Started menu, or typing +prhelp pathfinder when inside a Plot Room.

Community and roleplay are the essence of Tenebrae. We're a MU that's been around for a while, and we couldn't have done it without you. That's why in the next few weeks, we'll be starting to place some focus on getting to know our new players. There are alot of hurdles to being new: there's adjusting to the theme, meeting everyone, and learning Pathfinder. The first two are the most important: learning the rules can be done anytime, and those guides have already been made. It's the community and "living world" that has no guide to help with those initial steps forward, and that's something we'd like to change.

As we move forward in the next few weeks, you'll notice some changes. These will not tend to be large changes. Rather, think of them as "cleaning up" here and there with the goal of decreasing overall panic.

Oh, and welcome to the game. We're glad to have you. :)

Find a great site for Pathfinder? Looking for help running encounters? Our player-editable Running Pathfinder page is now open, created and maintained by you. It's accessible both from Pathfinder Resources as well as our Community section.

Logs have been spruced up a bit, too. Oh, and some clarifying of the PrP Policies.

"The roads shall be painted teal!" announced the maddened hobgoblin king. And lo, his subjects bowed before him, and all roads from Hither to Yon became teal with bright green roses.

Recent Rumors in Alexandria

===Tariday, Hattanani 24, 1013 Although most of the city's chatter and murmurings centers around the Tournament Paramount of late, there's other gossip and rumors running quietly beneath them. Some of those rumors follow.

One of the manor houses in the Noble District - formerly belonging to the ill-fated house of Mielen, whose last scion died some years ago - has been purchased by a rather enigmatic individual who, according to rumour, goes by the name of Lord Eff. Just what or where he's a lord /of/ is rather vague, and it's largely believed that he's a foreigner. Believed, because nobody can actually admit to having seen him. Someone's brother's cousin saw a messenger travelling from the manor to the Explorer's Guild, though, so maybe he'll have some work for adventurers?

Another rumor is stirring more in the University District than anywhere; it's said that the mage-artificer Bryan Dessek of Rune has recently uncovered some artifact of Kulthian origin during an archeological dig at the edges of Alexandrian territory. What it is, exactly, is a subject of wide speculation, but gossip tells that it was nearly completely intact.

Variday, Hattanani 23, 1013

An Alexandrian royal once beheaded his lover to save her, and Alexandros' landscape was the birthplace of the Mogareg. These and other stories are the focus of our Coming Home series, and are readable ingame in +bbread 7 over the next few weeks.

Variday, Hattanani 23, 1013

Great activity has increased at The Armsmaster Guild Hall; (08 on the +map) banners and various decorations to Angoron have been put up. Fighting pits have been cordoned off, as well as others challenge or contest areas erected. Some of the toughest men, so called Priests and Clerics of Angoron are seen teaming all over the large Hall making ready for the Annual Paramount Tournament Gladiatorial Games!

In the center of the huge Guild Hall, a large Score board has been erected, a listing of Events and Competitions are viewable, with sections to list all of the contestants. Events such as, The Strongest Man Contest, Wizard Duels, Team Event, and a Triathlon appear on the board and the list goes on. Located at the entrance of the Hall is an official Challenge to all those boasting of Fighting skill, to bring their Courage and Honor, to compete in the greatest Competition in all of Ea!

Gilday, Hattanani 18, 1013

As the trail of caravans slows to Veyshan, so do the supplies of exotics. Crafty merchants and restaurant owners will be soon looking for the next big thing, though for now appear to be doing well. Interest in Veyshan goods still runs high, and the supplies, ideas, and goods brought back from this exotic landscape will resonate throughout society in the weeks to come.

Refugees, concerned with needs such as basic food and clothing, may seen occasionally purchasing glitter-covered play-blades for their children or a colorful sash. Despite the horrors of just months past (to us) or five years (to everyone else), the people of Alexandrian City look for things to distract them beyond basic supplies, to begin enjoying life again.

Other social groups have responded in a similar fashion. Ever the trend-setter in style among the upper crust, Madame Gelfure was seen returning to the city in colors best described as "Green" with a hint of "Veyshan Sands." Perhaps unrelated, the uniforms of the Society for Progressive Arcanists have changed again, and the librarian reports an increase in the study of elemental magic and genie-blooded ancestry. Whatever the cause, the Society is developing a reputation for being very "hip," which contrasts its previous reputation--as somewhat stodgy and "out of place," in fact.

"Veyshan Sand" appears to be strongly in style in the coming month, with some upper-crust ladies attempting veils--though placed atop the hair and edged with precious stones--and for the super-trendy, cogs or pieces of artificery in place of traditional Veyshanti beading. Restaurants serving spiced cuisine also report an increase, and a number of quick-thinking owners responded to the interest by expanding their menus.

The Temple of Vardama, perhaps oddly, has benefitted. Priests there report a slight surge of visitors to their monastery as interest in that particular fighting style has temporarily increased.

In the next few weeks, we may see a touch of red added to the colors of ladies' headdresses and the sash of swords as some of our local holiday celebrations begin in earnest.
