| GORBESH INVADE GUILDS AND TEMPLE Two andaen ago, the invading forces we have come to expect from the temporal disturbances struck again, this time the Gorbesh, Elpalzi, and S'lai together. Nilme was kind enough to report to me what she heard via the gwethdesuan during the attack. In particular, there appeared to be more forces than previously, hitting both the Crossing and Riverhaven, and these forces invaded certain targets: The Crossing Bard guild, the Crossing Empath guild, the Crossing Ranger guild, the Crossing Temple, and the Riverhaven Engineering society. Bard Stelling wrote to me of his experience at the Bard guild. When he arrived, the performance hall and entry areas were clear, but he found forces upstairs in the conservatory, and he said that he was later told a few enemies had hidden in the alcove. He wondered how it was that they could have made it past the protective portalat the entrance, which normally only admits Bards. Nilme also told me that she heard a soft voice whispering in her mind, strained, faint, and hard to understand, almostas if she were hearing fragments of one side of a conversation. She heard, "pages will teach them... in time... a new page about spheres" before the voice fell silent. Shortly thereafter, she said, she heard on the gweth from Mazrian that the Feral tomes (see the Herald article from 434-06-25) may be invoked in order to destroy the Battle Spheres in the area and render further ones ineffective. This invocation destroys the tome. Thus, the tomes now have two uses: enhancing a weapon against Temporal Eddy and protecting an area from Spheres. Again, the Herald strongly discourages the use of Feral sorcery and thus the use of the tome for either of these purposes. At the meeting just preceding this attack, Mazrian proposed writing a letter to the Gorbesh requesting a parley. Those present generally agreed with this plan, though there was some debate as to where such a parley should take place and whom and how many should attend. Mazrian tabled the discussion and said he will continue with planning, encouraging others to contact him if they would like to aid him. All indications suggest it seems likely these forces will continue to attack every 7 andaen (OOC: weekly on Mondays around 9-10pm EDT). Re-read the strategy articles already published, and prepare yourselves for battle. Sincerely, Navesi Daerthon Editor in Chief, the First Land Herald |
