There was a time before. Before the encroaching darkness that now surrounds me. I am sure there was... but now it feels like a fleeting dream. It is a strange feeling.

PROCLAMATION: UNITE OR DIE A thousand years ago the Mage Council of Gideon banished the Arch-Enemy Shalnath and inscribed the words of power on obsidian tablets placed around the Keep. Time and time again adventurers have ventured into the Dungeon of Doom and defeated the Arch-Enemy. Time and time ...

Witching Hour True to its name, darkness had fallen over forest just outside Skara Brae. Darkness and light. Day and night. They’re all just conditions on the everlasting battlefield that is the life of Astorath, all permutations of surroundings to be accounted for. Nothing more. As such, he didn’t...

The sea charts and maps i purchased from Captain Zim must have set him off... planning an expedition as well. To the same place? Unsure... With the risk of finding it? Certainly. I h...

Time Will Tell The Playful Maiden buzzed with its usual activity, a bustling dance of loyal patrons and adventurers darting back and forth to the portal room.

Hey! Here's a suggestion and a case for adding some small areas for general RP and how they could be formed and used :) Important to note is that the idea is not for these areas to be an exception of the RP-Lite policy by forcing RP, but that they will be formed and placed in such a way that RP will...
