Friends,

As some of you are aware, we are having a fund drive for the server. This server is totally user supported - all donations large and small are deeply appreciated.

Our server is funded through mid April, if it is still running after that is up to YOU. Click the DONATE button on this page to show your appreciation for our server and help fund it into the future.

As we move forward, we are pressing to end the beta test. I was, in the past, insisting that the 'beta' tag be applied here until the server was loaded with a vast array of cool features and operating in a stable manner. We have achieved at least that milestone, the feature list is HUGE, the stability unmatched anywhere. The server operates well without DMs but really shines with the inclusion of a DM's touch. Yes, there is much more to do, much more to build, much more to roll-out into all  the corners of the module as it stands now, and we are moving in that direction - always adding more features to each area as we review them, inching ever closer to the final goal of a complex and immersive game world.

Several systems are being presently 'rolled out' into the module's farthest reaches, these include the 'usable windows', 'burglary friendly objects', 'advanced merchant system' and the 'fissures transitions'. Many areas already include these excellent features but we are working to ensure that they get propagated into all areas as appropriate. A review of all 1337+ areas is underway. Please bear with us as we work through the process and issue a series of module updates in the coming months that will gradually 'peel back the beta tags' and reveal a fully functioning module.

BEWARE it is going to get more brutal around here.

DEATH is going to get serious - your PC will have only a few SOULRUNES at creation, and opportunities for earning additional ones will be rare. DEATH will, at minimum have your PC LOOSE ONE SOULRUNE, even if raised by a party mate, this is the cost, and when your PC is out of SOULRUNES the PC is perma dead. Worse, if your PC is left to the fugue plane to interact with the emissaries of the gods, it may cost you more SOULRUNES to return to the mortal realms (depending on how your PC has curried the favor of their god). Since most PCs will only have a half-dozen or less SOULRUNES this means that without the aid of party mates to rescue your PC,  your PC will likely only have about three to six incarnations before perma death results.

Now, WHY does your PC get any extra incarnations? Why does your PC see more than one life at all? The RUNESTONE is the answer.

The RUNESTONE is an object of legend, of the creation myth type. It was carved by the sea and cast by the earth and lofted by the winds and hardened by the fires and thus it was that the shards of the RUNESTONE thundered down upon the arrogant and squabbling Four Drakes of the Primordial Fen, killing them all, ending the Age of the Primordial Fen.

Throughout history, rare individuals have been known to possess a fragment of the RUNESTONE, they are destined to great deeds and often meet a violent end. Many are ostracized among their own once the knowledge of their possessing a fragment of the RUNESTONE become known.

YOUR PC has had a dream - in that dream acquired and upon waking found himself in possession of what the PC believes is a fragment of the RUNESTONE. Could it be the gods have chosen YOU?
