Thera?

So, I really should know this. But I guess I don't.

Thera is what the "world" was called before the old Imms decided to up and destroy the world.

Basically a parallel universe is where we play and call home now.

...What is the "world" called now? How much of old FL history is truly current FL history?

I was just thinking about this little paradox after reading the Kentry story.

Aabahran

a-g

EDIT: Reworked that. Just realized how condescending it sounded the way I typed it. Sorry about that.

CACKLE

mudder = NEWBZOR

If I remember correctly, it's always been Aahabran. Hence the name...

Aabahran: the Forsaken Lands

So we cut out Thera and decide to rely on the old name?

You didn't answer the question about history. I know the answer, though, should we really be using Thera's histroy for a world that is likely very different?

Remember when Tyroa rerolled after the p-wipe as a Drow Warrior?

To answer your question, the world is called Aabahran, and these are the forsaken lands. The history on the webpage gives an interesting view of it all, but I would use that as a reference.

I know the world is Aabahran. I know the Forsaken Lands basically refers to the continents. (Which in turn, is Aabahran, so they are the same really)

But wasn't Thera just the world of Aabahran?

Thera, afaik, came from AR. It's just Earth re-arranged and people used it as the name for the world. It was a good retcon to get rid of it since it was sort of ambiguous and didn't have much to do with anything.

The tapestries and the statues in the newbie school still has some older stuff if you wanted to read about all the cataclysms.

Hey mudder, the world is called Aabahran

This is post cataclysm Aabahran.

or the third age.

Go to the normal website click help then read the histories.

Yeah but none of that even mentions Thera, or when Thera stopped being Aabahran

In fact, I think some of that history is just wrong.

It was never called Thera. It was always called Aabahran. Just so many people from AR came over and people were slow to realize that the lands were no longer called Thera. I don't remember exactly when, but there was a note that went out describing such a thing in game. Long, long time ago, though.

AR sucks! long live fl!

i can only imaging the drudgery i would currently be involved with had i not been shown the light

Wasn't there some Theran Wind business a while back?

Yes. There was.

Yeah, there was. But the game was always called "Aabahran: The Forsaken Lands". Well, not always, was called Cursed Sands at one point, but the double "a"'s in Aabahran put it at the top of the list for The Mud Connector.

I remember the "theran wind" business being a big thorn in the side of someone on the staff at the time. I wanna say crypticant, but I can't recall for sure.

a-g

Cursed Lands, not sands.

And the Network54 forum is still out there.

Oh, and Crypticant (aka, me) was the progenitor of the Theran Wind, which I came up with during a hunting trip to Alaska.

Did you get any helpless baby seals?

Hugging or clubbing purposes...?

You only club the cute ones. Helps with natural selection.

Aww...
