First, I must apologize for missing the last Elven meeting. My investigations had sent me far afield, and I could not make it back to Tol Vanima in time. Happily, given Idrandal’s account of what transpired, the meeting turned out more or less as I might have hoped, despite my absence. I have only a...

1. Elven Druid, male. My first character, still going strong. 2. Dwarven smith, male. Defunct. 3. A big, fat male human who wanted to be a mage but wound up being little more than a pain in the ass until he ultimately fled the island. Defunct. 4. A male elf who still aspires to be a mage, though he ...

Idrandal and I made a pilgrimage to the Altar of Ushara in the north. We brought Vanima honeycombs and wholesome vegetables to offer to the goddess. We hope this will motivate her to return the mine to its former bounty. But time will tell.

Two days in a row now, I have descended into the Vanima mine to find not a single vein of ore or coal worth the tapping. The probability that this has just been a matter of bad timing on my part is, by my calculations, vanishingly small. Something is wrong with our mine, and I intend to see the prob...

A note is pinned to the door of the Zzyathis gatehouse: Where have my dear, dear friends, the Lizards of Zzyathis, gone? I haven't had a nostril-full of fish breath in altogether too long. Come back to me, my scaly brothers and sisters. (And, yes, Lesska: it's you I miss most of all.) Tol Vanima ow...

Praise be to Ushara! I traveled to Vanima myself this early morning to behold the wondrous restoration with my own eyes. And thence I traveled to Greenbriar, and there too I found the forests intact, as though they had never been burnt.

The Five have smiled on us this day.

~Thig

The fire has been subdued. Now the task is to repair the damage done.

~Tikir

The more time I spend around Lesska, the more impressed I am with her RP. Really remarkable. I might even venture to say, the best in the game.

A smaller parchment is pinned under Zeshyrr's: To whom it may concern, I was in the tailoring workshop this evening when I heard the noise of an argument outside. I went out to see what was the matter and found the lizardmen Taliss and Zeshyrr in a heated dispute. Zeshyrr was bleeding heavily from ...

Thanks to Isilwen, Ayla, Shenandrea, Azuros, Damien, and Misjilah for great conversation on Vanima.

Works like a charm now. Thanks! And, like everyone else, I gotta say I love the new lighting effects.

I can't seem to launch the new client at all. When I try, I get an error message that reads, "Java Web Start - Unexpected Error: Unable to Launch Illarion Client." When I press for more details, I get the following: "Unexpected exception: java.lang.Exception." Any advice? Anythin...

Good conversation with Arcia and Lesska on Vanima.

Cass, Elle, Kitsa: Always a pleasure.

And drunken little Azzar: Hilarous! A shame no one else got to experience the bit about wanting to sleep with your fishes.

I also have clearly made Trollsbane my home and would like to become a citizen officially.

I have been here a few months now and would like to become a citizen of Trollsbane.

Why are there no longer links to character profiles from the character database? Is there any way now to look at a character's profile when that character is offline?

Thanks,
~Pterry

I vote for Option Four. Let's just be done with all of this silliness about a rebellion.

~Tikir

Vote option one.

~Thig

Thanks to all for the advice.

~Pterry

Obviously, one should not say anything in one's characters' backstories that directly contravenes the official history of Illarion as laid out on the website or in the histories in the Trollsbane library. But what if the official story is silent on the history of some area of the mainland? Are we fr...

A new parchment has appeared on the Free Druids' board. In small, neat, utterly unostentatious script, it reads: Dear Free Druids of Gobaith, I would like to join your circle, to do what I can to restore and maintain Nature's balance. I have already spoken to Lady Heneghan of this matter. Please le...

I seem to have been locked into the bedchamber in the southeasternmost corner of Trollsbane. Would someone with a key please release me? I would be profoundly grateful.

A hasty scribble appended to the previous note:

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the information.

A parchment has been tacked to the wall, obscuring several other notices. It reads, in big, bold print: I have a delivery of some 10 potions to make to the Academy. A pixie named Dajmaél asked me to bring them. She said to speak to Djirronyma or Saril. I have been unable to find anyone about the Ac...
