			==Sunday Feb 12 Vision==
			The stench of fetid seawater and spoiled milk overtakes you, leaving your senses disoriented and reeling. As you pull yourself together, you see shimmering, shifting sand. The image clears further, and you note the form of a robed person prostrate before a dark, hulking mass. Just as the sands overtake your vision again, you hear what sounds like stone grating against stone. The images fade, leaving you back in the here and now, though a voice echos through your mind for several moments yet, saying, "You will be Tallnah, The Beginning of the End."

			==Vision 02/27/2015==
			Your vision darkens and blurs, resolving once again into an urban scene. A woman, cloaked in tan and crimson robes, approaches a well-to-do man from behind. The robed woman surges forward and locks the man in a neck hold! The steel of her jagged knife glints with unnatural light as she holds it above the man's struggling chest. Just before the knife violently falls, the woman whispers into the man's ear, "Your hands... so strong, so flexible. Perfect. I must have them."

	Reality seems to shudder and strain under an enormous weight as your vision goes white. Against the pale backdrop you see the silhouette of an Elf, walking along a path of black tar sprinkled with ivory. The Elf stops and performs an elaborate gesture, causing the path around him to change. Tendrils of blue energy, half-cloud and half-lightning, first snake along then envelope the path in both directions. In a final display the now bright path folds in upon itself, the line becoming a circle.		Reality seems to shudder and strain under an enormous weight as your vision goes white.

			==Vision 12/20/2015==
			Your sight is suddenly snatched away by an intense vision, but you first hear a scream of feral anger rather than see it. The image of the Faldesu river appears, quiet at first but then beginning to churn and boil. Skeletal figures rise from it, dancing at the hands of an unseen puppet.


			==2016 Preview "Vision"
			Two men stood outside, watching the starry night. One was forever young, the other forever old.

			The young man, noticing his company for the first time, asked, "Who are you?"

			The Old Man responded, "I am who I am."

			This resulted in a pause from the young man, then a smirk. He said, "So you grace me with your presence finally."

			"I reckoned it was time."

			"What do you want?"

			"Complex question, despite looking simple on the face of it. I want many things. To laugh, to grow," a pause, "to consume."

			"There are very few things that scare me anymore and your off-handed remarks do not count among them."

			"I did not come to scare you, I came to ask for your help."

			"My help? What could I possibly offer you and how could you possibly make me care?"

			"There is a change in the wind. I can feel it. The Moon Mages will soon notice it, too. I know in my gut it's another Necromancer."

			"And you suspect me?"

			"I still have a reason to care about the Philosophy. It must survive for at least a short while longer. I want you to help them."

			The conversation drifted off with that, and both men stood quietly under the sky.

			Finally, the young man spoke again, softly, "You've made a mistake."

			The Old Man asked, "Oh?"

			"You appeared here without summons, tried to threaten me with your honeyed words and then have the audacity to ask me to help some miserable upstarts. Not only are you a fool, but you grossly overstep your place."

			Before the Old Man could react, the young man threw his hands outward. A blaze of blue energy, half-lightning half-cloud, erupted toward the Old Man and shredded his form like so much mist. When the magic cleared, what was left standing was a naked, grey figure, burnt beyond gender, with a halo of sunlight adorning its head. It mutely stared at the young man before vanishing where it had stood.

			"Of course," the young man mused to himself, "With time, we can get ever so confused about who our friends are."
