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

Gilday, Firetide 01, 1013

When the Sendor War drew to a close, it came down with a whisper, and then with a bang. Its vetrans now reside across the world, though many of them are here, in Alexandros.

The government of Alexandria, nudged by some scarred figure. has stepped forward and proposed the building of a monument to the sacrifice, to the heroes of this War.

So, our question to you: What is it? What should it be? What should it look like?

Please share your thoughts in the thread below. This, be it a statue, a stone monument, will eventually become a permanent part of the Memorial Gardens (11 on +map).

OOC: Please make these suggestions based on something your character would suggest, and don't hesitate to make this a part of your RP. As part of the monument, there will be builders and architects ongrid, and alot of, well. Call it political debate. :)

"'nd then they come'n say we gots to let'm go! 'n ogre in Alexandria!" A watchman and a few drinks after hours spawns the rumor and it spreads across western Alexandria. Details vary depending on who you ask but it would seem that a feral ogre attacked a group of adventurers. The beast was subdued and handed over to the watch... only to have a pair of the adventurers return and request its release a few days later. Apparently, there was a 'misunderstanding.'

With no other witnesses and only the word of the adventurers as evidence, the beast was released from custody. Free again to roam the lower class regions. The culprits were a mul'niessa and a foreign human girl. Two people who don't seem to give a sniff about the poorer folk.

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.
