I'm assuming he was wondering if we'd ask for names. I am curious as to whom Luir was fighting in the mine (I assume it was a Templar), but I don't think the fellow in ornate robes needs introduction.

[Marauder Moe]

I thought it was Tek vs. Luir.

744
    Tektolnes confronts Luir Dragonsthrall deep in the obsidian mines of Allanak. By use of incredible magicks, Tektolnes buries Luir under ninety-nine feet of rock.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

It is, but there seems to be a third actor in that last scene, and though I suppose it must be a Templar, I am curious as to whether it is or not.

[Voular]

I thought it was Tek being surprised as he gets out? Or... ?

[Nyr]

Oh, I'd much rather watch you guys figure it out than actually answer anything, trust me.

[Dalmeth]

I mean this in the nicest way possible : Nyr, you're a bastard for fielding questions like that, and I love you for it.

That little bit of flavor text weaved in between the story, that was nice.  Was it wholly original or adapted?

[Nyr]

The style?  I'm sure that's adapted, but I did do something similar in another story that I actually wrote first (will be released soon).
The choice of content?  Original, with credit to Shalooonsh for inspiration.

[Delstro]

I think a templar confronted Luir, but Tek was there just watching and protecting his own.

Yeah, we see the end from Luir's eyes, maybe? Because he says "His face" at the end. So that has to be Tek.

[Vessol]

WRINKLED hand guys, WRINKLED hand. I'm sure there might be a few wrinkly old templars out there. But when I saw that I thought of a pruned up old Tek who came out of his tower for the first time in years. Plus the way the fight is described, the person is cocky=aka Tek.

He then ascended and in front of the mine was that figure and then he was all shocked. Then it goes to the 99 feet of stone. You all know who was buried under 99 feet of stone. I'd be surprised too if some guy I buried in 99 feet of stone showed up a 1000+ later. Or maybe it is someone else, I'm pretty sure of it.

(Interred that from the post)

Also from all the posts is it me or does Tek seem to be a mul?

"Low-hanging Suk-Krath shone from behind the Tower, distorting shadows so that its form looked like a stunted, hunched dwarf squatting on the baked clay beneath. He stood within its shade, face expressionless as he regarded the smooth black stone. It was complete, and he was pleased."

"he laughed, throwing back his head, muscular body convulsing as the sound bubbled forth from his chest."

and so forth.

Constantly referring to his muscular nature and manliness(and probably big man pecks too). It would explain his anger in a lot of the 'Coming Soon..' things. Of course being 2,000 or so years old and constantly bored and all-powerful would do that too../shrug. He seems to have daddy issues too.

Edit: It references his mom, and mul mommies die in birth so he can't be a mul. NM
Edit2: Luir might be wrinkly too, owning whatever minion he kills and being shocked when he sees Tek. Bah my views always get owned whenever someone else posts.

Well, this refers to a being that had lived for hundreds of years, and this fits with Tektolnes, who at the time of the defeat of Luir Dragonsthrall would have been approximately 454 years old.  That much fits.

Yet, it's conspicuous that there's no date at the top of this entry, like there was for all of the previous entries.  Plus, we've already had an entry about the defeat of Luir, haven't we?  That suggests to me that this isn't what this one is about at all, and is in fact something very different and much more recent.

What if we're seeing from the point of view of Tektolnes?  Remember, there is at least one other being in the Known World whose male pronoun is always capitalized.

Muk Utep is how old?

[Gimfalisette]

Muk Utep is how old?

c.400
A hitherto unkown warrior named Muk Utep sacks the twelve tribes at Gol Krathu with an army of terrible barbarians out of the northwest. The tribes called the Elves of Mallok and the Twin Warlocks are among the conquered. The city-state of Tuluk begins to rise under Utep the Sun King.

Over 1000 years at least.

[Janna]

Maybe Utep wasn't the only one to have a little face to face with the dragon. We all know Tek pulled his little human to dragon stuff, so it's not that much of a stretch to think the dragon went to human form/size.

Maybe Luir had lured someone into the mine and killed them for whatever reason and the very end portion is where Tek showed up to show him how to really bury someone.

[Delstro]

I personally think Tek used Luir to kill his father.

c.312
Quintus' son, aged 22, treacherously slays his father and assumes control of the kingdom, now called Allanak.

[Yam]

I think Luir is the beggar outside of the Trader's Inn.

Ever do a keyword Luir around there?

Try it.

[Malken]

What a waste of large chunks of obsidian

Tek could have made at least fifty obsidian breastplates out of it all.

Now this is a clever idea ... but I'm not so sure about it ... herrrmm ... damned Nyr.

Over 1000 years at least.

Minimum age is 1186, probably several years older, possibly more since the history doesn't indicate how old he was when he sacked gol Krathu. The current year is 1586. Tek's age can be calculated accuratly

c.312
    Quintus' son, aged 22, treacherously slays his father and assumes control of the kingdom, now called Allanak.

So tek's age is 1296. Muk could be older or younger.

Most mul mommie's die but not all, any that survive usually end up crippled. Think any pc mul's mom technically is suppose to die.

Also from website http://www.armageddon.org/general/city.html#allanak

For all its richness, the economy of Allanak is typically under-going wild fluxuations and is under much strain. Wrote Tektolnes Senior Templar (and bastard child) Cohran, "His Gloriousness's recent attempt to purify the minds of his people by banning the trade of the spice will certainly have grave ramifications on the well-being of the average man."

So he can father children thus making him not a mul unless he adopts chinese babies.

Are mul parents always of the same sex? As in male human/female dwarf or visa versa?

Think usually dwarf daddy and human mommy, but not exactly sure. But prob hard on any human sized baby comming out dwarf mom be bad. So would be be big heavy baby comming out of a human mom.

I decided to be nice and put at least some kind of date on this one.  Enjoy.

EDIT to add:  By which I mean the new one published today.  Not putting a date on the other one.

[Janna]

Ha. Awesome, Nyr. Truly awesome.
