This may be a tricky walk between what is presented and TMI.  But if you want to discuss, here we are!

Irregardless?   Irregardless?

Sigh. I need some Tho.

Nice shit.

I miss the 'Coming Soon....' stories. This definitely scratches an itch in the game, and makes me wish original submissions were more accessible and easier to submit to.

Thanks for the peek, looking forward to more!

p.s. Does she need a brother? I seem to be between characters now..

I don't know any IC information. This is purely speculation.

But I get the impression this story is of Undertuluk or a portion of it not flooded.

I don't get Nakki Vibes from this story. It could also be under Luir's, but I don't know if luir's has an under. So *Shrug*

It's in the writing, Outpost, Archive, its there. It doesn't say explicitly where said archive is however.

The Archive is really just a room with a Faithful Lady who's  been tube-fed for the last 50 IC years.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

YMMV depending on how much IC knowledge you have accumulated over the years, with this story.  Players have been in the Kuraci Archives over the years, with access to secret places, etc., so they have a deeper understanding.  One of the things that makes this a tricky line.

That is true, it is entirely possible I'm wrong because I have never been. I knew of their existence due to recent events but that's the extent of my experience.

I want Kurac to have freaking Mentats!

This is professionally written and super exciting.

Great job whoever(s) wrote that!

Also: "Old kings die... New king rise." ?
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

I love this.  It's so intriguing.  There are aspects of it that I -think- I understand and which link to IC events long ago. There are other parts which I can only make wild guesses about.  And still other parts which I fear I'll never fully understand.  How many chapters are there to this book?  I want to skip to the last one!  :-p 

Instead of a dark lord....YOU WOULD HAVE A QUEEN.

Yes! A queen! Not a king! A queen!

Perhaps this is a clue?

I think it's this:


https://www.armageddon.org/world/chronology.php

1678 (Year 61 Age 22)
A relatively unknown sorcerer takes up residence near the Lord of Ash statue upon the salt flats and tricks several nearby tribes into believing he really is the ancient being. Under his secret command and prompting, more and more tribes are brought into the fold or forcibly conquered and conscripted. Knowing well that Allanak would not suffer a threat to rise, this three hundred strong band of tribals and raiders reach out to a small northern group and that of the Crimson Wind of Red Storm to bolster their numbers. When the war comes, sizeable casualties are had on both sides, and after a few weeks, Allanak kills this group to the last. The unnamed sorcerer is never confirmed among the dead.

Yaraya turned her body to face her daughter, her entire attention focused on the small child in front of her.  Deserving of such attention as few were, not only because of the blood tie, but because while others might think the girl odd, Yaraya knew from experience that not fully focusing would put herself at a disadvantage. "He is dangerous,  powerful and reports say he was not found.  We should not assume he is," said the woman, built of hard, brutish muscle.

"He left his own to die.  He has knowledge and power.  Useful, but not trustworthy," said the child.  Her mother could only nod her head in agreement, wondering how it was that this is what her daughter took from the meeting of the most influential in the Outpost, listening as she sat at the edge of the room.

I have no idea what's going on but I just wanted to say this is my favorite story I've ever seen posted by staff.  Very well written.  Back to lurking.

All this magickery stuff makes me want to get into the hardcore nonsomatic elementalism, ritual magick, sorcery, and defile a few scattered places of lushness

Very cool behind the scenes peak.

REALLY good story, it's going to be really hard for a lot of people to remember to keep separate the Big Bad Yaraya narrative IC versus this story which is definitely a lot more sympathetic towards motivations...
