The | | | V | natives of the city at the center of the world have spawned | | | | a brand new dynasty of entrepreneurs, culturists, soldiers, | | | | tacticians, teachers, and architects. It has taken many | | years since the reconstruction efforts began, and the people | | made one mistake: they assumed they were rebuilding Rheydin, even | | when their leaders told them otherwise. | | | | Now they know. They know that Rheydin will never return. We have | | something better. The Marshall, Belderon and The Juggernaut, | | Karishin Jores, have initiated a plan to give the protective | | responsibility of the great city of Maelbrim back to its natives. | | The current militia conscripts are due their retirement, as a good | | deal of them hail from a buffet of other locations. After all, | | Rheydin had no one to supply. | | | | The recruitment will take time and a great deal of propaganda! | | I mean effort, of course. If you are a citizen of Maelbrim, be | | you Guilded or not, prepare for an inspiring time as your home | | carves itself a more legible and unique signature upon its | | mountain. | | | | )----------------------------------------------------------------( | | | | NECROMANCER MASTERS HIDING NEWLY FOUND MAGIC, [Summer 1936] | | _ _ | | |\ | ecromancers have always been highly secretive, given their | | | \ | somewhat taboo practice of playing footsie with dead bodies, | | | \| or having a predisposition of often looking like land squids | | | | that invade your dreams and read your thoughts. In recent | | times, however, they have become far more bold about showing | | off their titles, which can only prove one thing: they have made | | discoveries that they must test openly. | | | | This surge of popularity is bound to create a severe internal | | power tussle as their over-staffed ranks struggle and rival for | | privacy, gear, and no doubt bodies (although there really isn't a | | shortage of corpses) as they seek to please the mad conjurers that | | have opened their eyes to these new secrets. | | | | While some budding mages may wish to invest in the Necro-Guild and | | support it, it is worth it to ask exactly how long this large blob | | of scattered individuals can actually coexist with their own | | competing agendas stumbling one another. | | | | While a formal statement has not been acquired from one of these | | fresh guild zealots, it is only a matter of time before they begin | | to really come out of the mire. | | | \--------------------------------------------------------------------/
