WITHIN THE REALM - September 25, 2006
Previously,
Selcius the Astronomer, relayed information about rifts appearing
throughout our lands. Selcius is located near the telescope on
Moonglow Isle in Trammel. He requested help in locating and
recording the sextant coordinates of each rift. Once all the
rifts were located and their coordinates recorded, he named each
rift. This led Selcius to disclose the password and information
leading to the ninth rift. When saying the password, "roclasmpy",
by the Ancient Stone in Ilshenar, it took you inside the Virtue
Chamber, where we defeated the Void Shadow. A robed figure is
appearing and disappearing near each rift.
Pieces of blackrock were appearing throughout our lands. Many
people collected the blackrock pieces, in hopes of figuring out how to
use them. Many Legendary Mages managed to blow themselves to
smithereens by casting the Armageddon spell over these tiny pieces of
blackrock. Some speculate that there might be other uses for
blackrock. Keep experimenting.
Last week's runic anagram was, "A grim ascendance or odd rumors", which
translated to "Armageddon comes, Ricardo runs". Last week's news
article posted on BNN, titled: "Wanted! Ricardo, Alive and for
Questioning". The Sheriff of Trinsic asked people to search for
Ricardo's lair and find a landmark nearby, so the lair could be found.
He also asked for a key, or password, that might allow entry into the
lair. The Sheriff said to feel free to take anything, once you gained
entry into the lair.
Hope, a bowyer in Yew, spilled the beans about Ricardo's lair.
Southeast of the entrance to the Dungeon Destard, you will find
Ricardo's lair tucked into the mountains. The landmark nearby was an
"old burned tree". Hope said the password to enter the lair was
"rbmnqa". Only the first person, or persons, who entered, were able to
take Ricardo's goods. There were three things that could be taken, "a
pilfered painting", a hat called, "Ricardo's roof", and a pair of shoes.
This week's anagram is, "Indict evaded by secret", which translates to,
"Distracted by evidence". This weeks BNN article is, "Elven Prosecutor
Assigned to Ricardo Trial". Casca, an elf from Heartwood, will be the
prosecutor at Ricardo's upcoming trial. Casca can be found at the
Court of Truth in Yew. Casca is asking for anyone with evidence,
concerning Ricardo's crimes, to come forward and speak with him.
Ricardo is being held in the Trinsic jail, awaiting extradition.
The evidence being gathered to prosecute Ricardo, consists of some
lockpicks monogrammed with the letter R, inside the Nujel'm Palace, and
a camp inside the Terathan Keep. Take note of these items and report
your findings back to Casca at the Court of Truth in Yew. Some have
speculated that Ricardo is being framed, because it is very sloppy work
for a Legendary thief to leave so much incriminating evidence behind. More information can be found here.
