Player's submissions and stories

I wanted to share a log and a short story that was one by one of our old players, Ghost.  I don't think he plays anymore, but he submitted some logs and short stories to the website and I really enjoyed them.

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

This is the biographies of Thrend Lyksae, written by Tarx.

Thrend Lyksae was a noble that was around for a while, starting...

It was late morning on Cingel, the 70th day of the Descending Sun
In the Year of Drov's Agitation, year 35 of the 21st Age


..which equates to May 14, 2007

And the last bio entry was...

It was early afternoon on Cingel, the 37th day of the Ascending Sun
In the Year of Suk-krath's Defiance, year 54 of the 21st Age


.. which was September 10, 2009

and I believe they were alive longer than that..

Warriors of faith was my jam for a long time. I loved the story arc and continuation of the north v. south stuff. Thanks for posting these up.

There is some logs on the GDB (and not on the original submissions website) that talk about this time in the game:

1624 (Year 7 Age 22)
Meetings of the Tuluki Triumvirate result in Hlum nobles being given a vote (as a group) equal to that of any Surif House, to the dismay of many Surif nobles. Many public works are completed over time as Tuluk recovers from the damage of the Deluge, entering a time of relative peace and prosperity. The flow of refugees from Allanak slows to a trickle.

1627 (Year 10 Age 22)
A small army of Allanaki soldiers establish camp at Ten'Sarak. In reaction to the potential threat of an Allanaki move, the Tuluki fortress known as Ayun Iskandir sees increasingly high activity. Tensions and numbers rise on both sides as the two armies set out for Tyn Dashra. After scattered fighting on the borders and steppes, both forces meet to parlay, but neither side surrenders.

The two armies clash in a bloody battle. Suddenly, a great and powerful force was activated from somewhere in Tuluk, matched by a similar force in the Muark lands. Great beams of light spring into the air from each location. As the lights began to surge towards each other, the shadow of a dragon was sighted in the sky, swooping over Allanak, Luir's, towards Tuluk, and around the rest of the Known World before disappearing. After the beams of light connected, the land around Tyn Dashra was torn apart, great earthquakes rumbling outwards.

The volcano near Allanak is no more, with a great swath of scoria plains left in its wake. Tyn Dashra is destroyed--a volcano has erupted from within the rocky steppes. In Tuluk, Isar's Tree appears to be desiccated. Both armies flee the fiery carnage, and a group of the Muark are seen making their way to the gates at Luir's Outpost. Rumors abound that the North Road is no longer passable.

While both armies return to each of their respective city-states claiming victory, the days of sometimes uneasy peace between Allanak and Tuluk are at an end.

1627 (Year 10 Age 22)
Rumors emerge from Allanak that a team of spies in deep cover were successful in plotting sabotage against Tuluki forces during the lead up to the battle at Tyn Dashra, with whispers that the destruction of Isar's Tree might have been one of their prime targets.

In Tuluk, at a public celebration, High Precentor Ardith Lyksae steps down from his position to become Precentor of the Jihaen Order. A relatively unknown Lirathan by the name of Oralia Negean takes the mantle of High Precentor. Later in the proceedings, an Allanaki templar and soldier are executed publicly by the hand of the High Precentor and the Precentor of the Jihaen Order, respectively.

Over the next month, rumors of widespread disappearances spread throughout Tuluk.

1628 (Year 11 Age 22)
In a ruthless act of suppression, the newly ascendant order of Lirathu casts the Hlum nobility as traitors and collaborators. The Templarate proceeds to erase the Grey Hunt from Tuluki society and eradicates the Hlum Nobility, burning the estate to the ground. Those found to "remember" or mention the Hlum or Grey Hunt are dealt with quietly and efficiently by the Templarate.

c.1629 (Year 12 Age 22)
At a Descending Sun event in the Tuluki Arena, Muk Utep makes an appearance. During a short speech, he dissolves the Jihaen and Lirathan Orders, combining the templarate under the rule of the recently promoted High Precentor, Oralia Negean.
