HEADLINE! | | Read of events leading up to the present! | | | | After the artificer mastermind Lestinari and the five gauntlet | | bearers slew Mordeth, the keeper of the S'handor palace, the | | Pillar of the Snarling Skull was opened. Inside, a second seal| | was found; though it looked as if it had been opened before, | | Lestinari tampered with it; the consequences were long | | standing. The Khalandar's Mind was freed! Calling himself | | Balwen the King, he destroyed Lestinari and sealed the gates | | of S'handor. Only two events have drawn him thus far from the | | interior of the undead and demon-populated S'handor, and that | | was when the mists were created, and then again when the mists | | were destroyed. Tired of the unnatural invasion of undead and | | demons the mists allowed in to Aabahran, the Goddess of Nature,| | Eshaine, sent warriors of the woodlands into the mountains near| | S'handor to combat the that swarm. This diversion gave | | Eshaine, with the help of the lifeforce of several | | participants, the ability to close all of the mist portals | | around Aabahran, and it also gave Balwen some of Eshaine's | | power. Confident to the last, Balwen challenged even the gods!| | What could he be planning? Can he be stopped? Can he be | | helped? | | | | -Butterfly Madness! -Something for the Lost | | Where do they come from? What do In a short time, three | | they want? These curious, cute, inspiring, achieving, | | and conniving creatures charming, pleasant people| | consistently cling to random have vanished from the | | guild members! Is it the smell? midst's of the Library. | | The color? What is so attractive? Dinkirus, Eod, and | | They have been appearing and Anadyomene have passed | | vanishing, driving some of their on, and the Heralds will | | chosen leaders into a state of miss them sorely. These | | mental madness! Even specific troubling times exact | | members of the Academy were a toll on even the art- | | targeted! But fear not! Though ists of our world. May | | courageous and conspiring we never forget them and | | critters, these butterflies do never cease to honor | | not harm! How epic! their accomplishments. | | | | -Editorial on the One God | | The golden sun. The all seeing gaze. The invisible! The | | Shire folk ask me if the One gets hungry, or if the One has a | | sense of humor. I just tell them that the One is everywhere, | | even inside their hearts. How is it possible to say that there| | are limitations on the One God? Does He not extend His gaze | | into all facets of life, even into the realm of bloodshed, or | | greed, or lust? His very concept inspires the highest thrones | | of the gods! Perhaps He is real to some, perhaps not to | | others. But there is only ever denial! There is no such thing| | as false faith! That is why faith will always be priceless. | | | | - Chief Editor, Flesico Majesco | ------------------------------------------------------------------
