Make up an interesting lie

Gortoks were originally created by a defiler.

The reason your inix will do canned emotes at such opportune times is because there is a 24/7 shift which is always staffed where someone must monitor every room containing an inix.

This one is true, sorry.

The moons directly affect the weather in the following ways:
Lirathu, the White Moon, lowers the temperature of the desert. Next time you type "weather" and it's cool look up and see if it's there!
Jihae, the Red Moon, raises the temperature of the desert. When it's hot, etc. you might be surprised!
The presence of both Lirathu and Jihae equals out to around warm plus or minus a bit depending on how hot the zone normally is. (salt flats are HOT)
Echri, the Black Moon (this is a name I made up for it LOL. do not call the black moon by this name ingame), agitates the silt which covers Zalanthas and makes it stormier.

 Once upon a time.. there was this tiny white bell flower, nothing too special about it but that it was and has always been forbidden to pick. This one stubborn bride demanded that all of her maids wear a wreath of these 'forbidden flowers'.. So it was done.. Years after when the children's children of the maids that touch this forbidden flower came to be.. that the curse of a forgotten flower took it's toll. the grandchildren of the maids were born as cyclops and hidden high in the mountains out of love and fear.....


This 'forbidden flower' was never hunted to extinction.......

Kryl are Vivaduan Elementals.

There is a secret path that leads out of the known world to a place where water is plentiful and there is rain. There was a time when there were no birds in the known, and this place is where birds originated.

There was another staff member in the early 90s who actually created Steinal, but during a merger from one server to the gauss server the zone files went missing.

Instead of rebuilding the zone from scratch, they just paved it over with the salt flats, and that's why it's so boring there.

That staff member?  Halaster.

Shit I thought it was season 14 already.

All sorcerers are actually three halflings in a trench coat.

Or just 1-2 in the case of 'dwarf' sorcs.

Each grain of sand in the desert is a prison that traps the soul of someone who defied the High Lord in the distant past.

Silt Horrors are one form of Nilazi elemental. Silt is a physical manifestation of the void which is why it has such potent antimagickal properties.


A portal to plane of nilaz exists somewhere within the caverns below Allanak. House Jal directs sewage into it. This is the reason for sewage horrors.

The rumors are true: I really am secretly Nyr.

When last senate convened, which you would not know, because you were not invited, a vote nearly changed the entire political landscape, when those in attendance voted on whether to switch to a "democratic" governing model. The motion was introduced by a coalition of senators from  Oash, Kasix and Valika. Having spent ages failing, on each account, to rise to the premier place in the hierarchy, one may think of this as flipping the board to end the game they were not winning.
Borsail and Jal voted against and managed, against odds to defeat the motion on their own. (There may have been some blood shed.)

Tor's senators had been murdered on their way to the meeting. Sath was not given notice that the meeting was happening. One of Fale's junior senators voted for, while the rest of their party were seething in outrage. She was drunk and thought it was funny. In her defense, she was usually ignored and had no reason to think the day would be different than any other. The contingent from Rennik were poised to vote, as you might expect, but they were threatened by Oash's secret Nilazi, and silenced by a hidden wind mage.

It seemed that the coup was poised for success, but a few Borsail Wyvern body guards lopped off the heads of the heads of the usurpers and they and Jal, ultimately, apart from an errant Fale junior senator, were the only ones to vote.

Lady Fale, of course, never made it home. The only evidence she had ever existed was a puddle of blood and a broken pipe at the gate to the noble quarter. Meanwhile, life goes on as if nothing at all happened. The next meeting has been postponed.

A woman ascended to dragonhood (or the equivalent) in a verdant valley past the silt sea known to some as Yan El Yzn. The massive tree created in the ceremony would later be known by its inhabitants as Sha'Isar. That woman who ascended here would later be known as Muk Utep.
