Kryll are the halflings.

Dear Lord!  It all makes sense!  They're like gremlins!!  Why did we get them WET!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Zalanthas is actually the opposite of most fantasy worlds in that if you dig too deep, you'll unearth ancient, sealed away Good.

Get far enough down into the earth and you'll hit paradise, utopia, a land of gentle sun and plentiful water with grass swaying in the breeze... Clear blue skies and peaceful, plentiful lands where Sorcerers and their Ilk dare not tread.

Somewhere in Zalanthas, a defiler greedily rubs his hands.....
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

There were never any waterslides.
We were somewhere near the Shield Wall, on the edge of the Red Desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

There is a Wheatlady somewhere near Allanak.

The vestric space station mysteriously disappeared about the same time the halflings did.

I wish this WASN'T a lie.

You try to climb, but slip.
You plummet to the ground below...

The Allanak-Tan Muark accord gave the gypsies phenomenal cosmic power but itty bitty living space.
I'm taking an indeterminate break from Armageddon for the foreseeable future and thereby am not available for mudsex.

This would explain a lot...

Tuluk will reopen with both previous Templar orders having literally merged.  Rumors will abound about what these gender neutral Templars are, but using the wrong pronoun around one may get a heretic psionically necksnapped.
Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiine.

Tuluk reopening is a belated April Fool's joke. I can't believe you suckers fell for it. Hahaha.

Going forward, halfgiants who receive or branch the steal command will instead get the verb and skill "ankleshake".  Using this command will cause a subdue check, followed by a chance for small objects to fall off the shaken party, landing on the ground in the room.

Alternate commands for pick, pickmaking, stealth, and sleight of hand are being planned.
Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiine.

Sleight of hand shall retain the name, but will only be useable on people with the word Hand as a keyword.

If you are playing a zero karma character with no "specials", your pc can perceive a unique weapon, if they happen apon it hidden in game.  It is a bloodstained obsidian blade called Staffcutter.   If you then use it to kill a staff inhabited npc, you get to take their place on staff, where they are banished back to zero karma mortal play.

All rumors about which staff members have ascended this way should be treated as FOIC secrets.

"There can be only... a few!"

There is a new nilazi spell being coded and tested.   It is being discussed here so that it can be employed and reacted to with true dread.

This ritual spell may only be cast on an unconscious spellcaster pc, whether manifested or not.   When successfully performed, the spellcaster is killed, and that player's account is set to not allow another spellcaster character to be generated for 120 days.  The nilazi will also receive benefits based on the spell power level, to be discovered IC.

If cast on a non spellcaster, the spell simply fails.
Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiine.

Over the last King's age and behind the closed gates of Tuluk, the Faithful and House Dasari began a systematic cleansing of the unwanted and faithless. Aided by powerful psionic powers and generations of House Dasari breeding records, the Faithful carefully groomed, enhanced, and engineered chosen mutant traits to help the Tuluki combat their old-time magickally enhanced southron foes. Now a full three generations into the process, known as the Culling, enhanced mutants have emerged right at the time of Tuluk's reawakening. These mutants, always considered Tuluki loyalists, are butchered on sight in Allanak and by those serving to the Highlord. These new mutations are now open as sub-guilds with certain karma requirements, designed as a mundane counterbalance to mage sub-guilds. They are as follows:

Thlons [2 karma]

Named after a species of extinct great cats, Thlons have quirri-like eyes. They possess a constant non-magickal darkvision and begin with watch, peek, and scan each of which can be advanced to master level. In addition, Thlons make excellent hunters and can track their prey in both wilderness and urban environments. They have an enhanced sense of smell, allowing them to sniff the scent of creatures upwind often before they can be seen. Finally, these senses allow them to travel the wilds with unusual ease, rarely getting lost.

Resistants [3 karma]

The Resistants were groomed for their extraordinary hepatic and metabolic systems. This mutation allows them to consume far more spice than normally possible. More importantly, they suffer minimal side effects and do not become spice addicted. Particularly difficult to detect, Resistants often serve as Tuluki spies. It is said that magickal spells often fail to harm Resistant mutants.

Savants [2 karma]

Chosen and Culled for their intellect, the bulbous heads of Savants contain the wisdom beyond the most venerable elven elders. This manifests with a quicken ability to learn, especially languages. Some brag at mastering a new language after only a few months of practice. They find building and crafting, particularly new designs, easy. Being a Savant adds one additional custom craft per month which stacks with any from their class (for a max of two). Savants may choose one additional starting language at master.

Kentus [2 karma]

Nicknamed after the forgotten language of halflings, Kentus emerged from the quickest and most agile of humans.  Easily detected due to their short stature, Kentus make up their lack in size with the quickness of a mantis. Besides unnatural agility, Kentus begin with sleight of hand, climb, sneak, and hide all of which can progress to master level.
"Let sleeping characters sleep naked." -Azroen

If you prioritize wisdom on a mundane character the game gives you a 1d4 bonus to all of your other stats

When you have a special application approved a flag is set on your account to lower all of your statrolls by 25% on your next character, in order to avoid this you should create one throwaway before using the option enabled by the specapp.

QuoteFive words, one of them rarely used, spoken in a steady and firm voice, unleashed a power
imo this implies either the existence of an eighth horn (unlikely) or some reach other than un or qntlz was used.

The eighth horn for power greater than what Mon can offer, is Lul: Because that's what you'll be doing when you give multiple people a mantis head at the same time.
