With the return of Overlord Lucan D'Lere, Freeport underwent a massive overhaul in appearance. No longer a city of rough wooden structures thrown together after the Rending and Shattering, the new Freeport shows off the power of the Overlord, including a rebuilt Dethknell Citadel.
Also at this time, the Truespirit re-awakened. Long ago, the Truespirit, in the form of animals of various forms called warders, bonded with certain mortals, known as beastlords. The Harbingers, guardians of the Codex of Khati Sha, re-appeared, and presented the Codex, which taught the ways of the beastlords, to those they found worthy, beginning the Third Awakening.
Within Drunder, the children of Rallos Zek, Sullon, Tallon, and Vallon, defeated their father, preventing him from finding Kerafyrm and obtaining the power of the twin swords. The Duality contacted the leaders of the six major cities of Norrath - Qeynos, Freeport, Kelethin, Neriak, Gorowyn, and New Halas - and got them to agree on an alliance to figure out how to prevent Age's End. While initially reluctant, the leaders of the cities were persuaded when the dragon Yelinak emerged from Thurgadin, and convinced the leaders they needed to work together.
Yelinak also showed the alliance, calling itself the New Combine, how to get through the storm barrier surrounding the area once known as the Wakening Lands. Home of the Plane of Growth, it had become corrupted and stormy. Now called the Withered Lands,
it still held Skyshrine, ruled by Yelinak and his Claws of Veeshan. Slowly pushing back the corruption, the New Combine made its way to Skyshrine.
The City of Freeport's Great Port
This painting shows the harbour of Freeport, after the construction efforts following the return of the Overlord. At the top, on the right, is the new Dethknell Citadel.
Pennant of Skyshrine Loyalty
In Skyshrine, the droag Jorlak was attempting to open a portal to the Underdepths, to prevent Kerafyrm from altering history. To do so, he needed various components, some of which could only be found in the past. Through his chronomagic, the portal was completed, and those who aided him, disguised as droag, became trusted by the inhabitants. This pennant, granted only to the most highly-trusted allies, allows one to return to the city from anywhere.
DO NOT TOUCH.
Icon of the Recondite
Found in the Lyceum of the Recondite, this icon depicts an unknown dragon. Similar styles are found all throughout the city of Skyshrine.
Crest of the Lion's Mane
Like Freeport, Qeynos also underwent renovations. The castle was remodelled, the walls fortified, and many other aesthetic improvements were made all around the city. But not all was well. The villages - the Baubbleshire, Castleview Hamlet, Graystone Yard, Nettleville, Starcrest Commune, and the Willow Wood - were attacked, and a network of spies was uncovered who were trying to resurrect Kyle Bayle to allow him to seize the throne.
This is a replica of the crest of the Lion's Mane, one of the major inns in South Qeynos.
The Stone of Kaladim
During the trouble in Qeynos, a Sullonite artefact brought to the city caused the barbarians and dwarves of Graystone Yard to suddenly start fighting each other - and not the usual drunken brawls, or fights for fun. In the middle of Graystone Yard was the Stone of Kaladim, the only reminder of their home of Kaladim, lost to bugbears and kobolds. Concerned about it being destroyed in the fighting, Mav and Marv Boilfist had a plan to move it, but a dweomer had been placed on it to make it immovable except by a member of the Stormhammer family. Another dwarf in the city, Brelaine, was discovered to be the great-grandaughter of Kazon Stormhammer's first son, and the only child of that line. At first reluctant to accept the responsibility, she was convinced that the stone was worth saving, lest the dwarves lose any more than they already
had. The stone was successfully moved, and Brelaine was hailed as the dwarven queen, not only by the dwarves of Graystone Yard, but by Councilor Harkold, who stepped down from the Council of Ten to allow Queen Brelaine to take her place, invited by Queen Antonia Bayle.
A replica of the stone is displayed here.
Navigated Travels
Before the Shattering, Qeynos was a primarily human city. Since then, members of other races whose cities were severely damaged or destroyed in the Rending have made their way there. Wishing to pass along their cultures and ways, mentors for each race were established. Those who completed the tasks were awarded with one of these compasses.

"Altar of Malice" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
After the Shattering, many survivors were rescued by the ships of the Far Seas Trading Company and brought to the Isle of Refuge, where they learned fighting, magic, healing, tracking, crafting, and many other skills that would help them survive in this new world. Several years before the defeat the of the Awakened, the Far Seas Trading Company sealed off access to the islands in the Shattered Seas, including the Isle of Refuge. Following Kerafyrm's banishment, both Qeynos and Freeport sought new pacts with the Far Seas, desiring to secure their resources for their city. Upon arrival, they discovered the isle had been magically attacked, and Malvonicus' Tower was not only shattered, but the pieces were frozen in time. Both cities believed Far Seas' Captain John Graymast to be responsible, acting on behalf of agents of the other.
Graymast was tracked to Death Weave Isle, home to the urzarach, half-spider, half-bear creatures, many of whom had gone feral and attacked. Once their trust was earned, their elder said that the traders were captured and handed over to the nearby Brokenskull pirates. Although Graymast was not located within the pirates' hideout, an artefact was found which was poisoning the minds of the urzarach, solving the mystery of the rabid urzarach.
Graymast's trail then led to the isle of South Dshinn, home of deinodon-worshipping pygmies threatened by the Allu'thoa lizardmen, and their village of Bawgava. While not entirely cooperative, the attacks by the Allu'thoa suggested the lizardmen might be responsible for Graymast's disappearance.
The island of North Dshinn, in the Phantom Sea, contained another pygmy village, along
with a Far Seas outpost. The island is divided into two main sections, the caustic Boiling Wells to the north, and Dshinn Peak to the south. While searching for missing Far Seas members, the emissaries were attacked by four-armed creatures later discovered to be Akheva, ancient beings from Luclin who served as her guardians.
To the west of North Dshinn is the island of Kithicor, the site of the legendary forest and battle. The north of the island contains the remains of Highpass, formerly connecting the forest with the Plains of Karana, now the Thundering Steppes on Antonica. The keep remains, now the headquarters of the Far Seas Trading company. Further south, below the pass, is the Teir'Dal fishing village of Ghorkhaal, which was discovered to be no mere fishing village, but the heart of the cult of the Primordial Malice, seeking to resurrect Lanys T'Vyl, daughter of Innoruuk,
slain by Firiona Vie at the Battle of Kithicor.
Keep Master Yonette Ironboard was in charge of Castle Highhold, and said Captain Greymast was there, along with his son, Dargan. After repelling an attack by the akheva, the emissaries met with Captain Greymast, who said he found his son floating among the ruins of Malvonicus' Tower, holding a book, and they were pursued by the Akheva. During the attack, Dargan was captured, and Duke Ferrin was slain.
The book found with Dargan contained Shissarian magic, and a spell of origination revealed that the artefact found among the Brokenskull was previously on Grim Shales isle. The isle contained the underground ruins of Ssraeszha Temple, where the Akheva were using Dargan in a ritual to open a portal to Luclin. The Akheva were
defeated, as were the Shissar, greatly weakened, who came through the portal, but the portal itself remained open. Using the artefact found among the Brokenskull pirates, the magic was transferred from Dargan back to the Shissarian Codex, and the portal was closed, but the shissar likely remain on Luclin, awaiting another chance to invade Norrath.
Mage Tower Mirage
Malvonicus' Tower, on the Isle of Refuge, trained refugees who arrived on the Isle of Refuge after the Shattering in the magical arts. Master Malvonicus and his student Mizan Vaeoulin resided there, along with their assistant Dreak, who taught many of the refugees how to craft items. Starting with tin bars and spikes, many of Norrath's greatest artisans started here, including the carpenter Terial, whose furniture adorns homes all over Norrath. Other mages built similar towers; two of them include Myrrin the Magnific and Sythor the All-Seeing. The tower was destroyed when a Shissar artefact unearthed by a D.I.R.T.Y. expedition activated, transferring magic from a Shissar codex into Dargan Graymast, son of Captain John Graymast, head of the Isle of Refuge for the Far Seas Trading Company. The pieces of the destroyed tower were left
suspended in time, from the chronomancy contained in the book.
Far Seas Ship's Wheel
The Far Seas Trading Company began during the Rending, formed from the union of surviving seafarers. They transport goods to every part of Norrath, serving settlements both great and small. Their headquarters is in Castle Highhold in the islands of the Phantom Sea, led by Duke Jaestan Ferrin. In addition to gathering resources, they have rescued many survivors during the Rending and the Shattering, taking many of them to their outpost on the Isle of Refuge.
Pygmy Charm Deinodon Bone Table
The pygmies of Dshinn do not often share their ways with outsiders, but did share a few of their recipes in exchange for pickles. The charm is hung in many pygmy dwellings for good luck. The pygmies make the tables from deinodon bone, which the deinodons give to them; this one is made from stone and wood.
Urzarach Cocoon
The urzarach, meaning 'spider bear', live in the village of Gorir on Death Weave Isle, in the northern part of the Tranquil Sea. This is a replica of one of their cocoons. Such cocoons are of more importance to the tribe than ever, as many of their number were recently lost, turned feral by a Shissar artefact wielded by the Brokenskull pirates. The artefact was retrieved and the pirates' hold over the urzarach was broken by emissaries from Qeynos, whom some of the urzarach called Redeemers.
Zavith'loa Hatching Egg
This egg is from Zavith'loa, the underground realm of the Allu'thoa, the lizardmen that inhabit the Shattered Seas. Growing within the eggs is a toxic fungus that the Allu'thoa sometimes feed to the deinodons, making them enraged, thus better at fighting.

"Chains of Eternity" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The Duality's research suggested that a Shissar calendar held the missing pieces of the Chelsith Stone, which was thought to hold the knowledge of averting the Age's End prophecy. The Deepwater Circle believed that the spirit of Lord Rikantus Everling knew about the Chelsith stone. Firiona Vie drew forth his spirit, saying 'the keys of fate belong to the ring, and the ring belongs to the stone'. But shortly after this, the Koada'Dal princess was suddenly lifted into the air, surrounded by a bright blue light, then fell to the ground, lifeless. Curiously, the Deepwater Circle said this was not the first report of such a death. Ravinus, one of the Truespirit Elders, that spiritual energy was being drawn out of Norrath at an increasing rate, and to end this, mortals would have to travel to the Grey Wastes, Ethernere, the land of the dead.
Assembling amulets filled with remnants of spiritual pain, those whose souls were strong enough to resist the pull of Ethernere travelled there to investigate, arriving first in the Obol Plains, a reflection of Norrath's Loping Plains. In Cardin Ward, the Ethernere's reflection of Somborn Village, the steward of Drinal revealed that the Ethernere had become unbalanced, with many parts having already fallen to the Harrowing Horde, who were supposed to be Ethernere's protectors.
When Rallos Zek fell, a piece of his essence made its way to Ethernere, unbalancing the plane, and an alternate Cazic-Thule was attempting to enter Ethernere through the Fear Gate in the Eidolon Jungle, which reflects the Feerott in Norrath. Both were driven back. Also within the Fear Gate was a behemoth named Baelon, who held one of the Monoliths of Theer, part of the Shissar
calendar. Others were soon found in Wurmbone Crag, Wurmbone's End, the ancient vault of Chelsith, and the boat of the dead, Dreadcutter.
Drinal's Scythe: Replica
When the other deities withdrew from Norrath, Drinal was inadvertently raised to godhood, tying him to Ethernere, and causing him to suffer along with the plane. To prevent Obol Plains from falling to the Harrowing Horde, and making it impossible to reach Drinal, Firiona Vie assisted the townsfolk of Cardin Ward in fighting back, and in destroying the tourbillion spires created by the Horde. Through the knowledge of the lujien, werewolves of the Ethernere, the Relic of Fate was created, allowing entrance to Drinal's citadel Harrow's End. The boat Dreadcutter, anchored in Obol Plains, which ferries the souls of the dead from Ethernere to other planes, held a soul skiver, which is used to sever the soul's links with Ethernere upon reaching its final destination. It was thought it might also sever the links between Drinal
and Ethernere, freeing him from the plane's suffering. The plan worked in part, freeing Drinal long enough for him to send the stolen souls back to Norrath, including that of Firiona Vie. He revealed that he took the souls in a hunger for power, triggered by the influence of War and Fear on the plane, and, with the cleansing of the plane, swore to no longer do so.
Ancient Shissar Urn
The Shissar are large, snake-like beings who ruled Kunark and enslaved the iksar. They were mostly destroyed by the Greenmist, but teleported their temple to Luclin before the Greenmist fell. Whether they survived the Shattering is unknown, but it is rumoured they again moved their temple. This urn is of Shissar design, and due to their enslavement, hated by the iksar, who destroy Shissar artefacts in some of their rituals.
Strand of Blue Heroes' Festival Lights Strand of Gold Heroes' Festival Lights
Introduced for the fourth Heroes' Festival, these lights can be seen all over the cities of Qeynos and Freeport during the festival.
New Combine New Halas Banner
The New Combine, allied with Lord Yelinak and his Claws of Veeshan, continued the fight against Kerafyrm the Awakened and his drakota forces in Cobalt Scar. Each of the six cities in the alliance had a banner; this one represents New Halas.
Tubular Coral Pod
Within Cobalt Scar is Siren's Grotto, the domain of Queen Dulseris and her sirens. Many forms of coral grow within the grotto, including this tubular coral pod. The Grotto used to serve as a passage from Cobalt Scar to the Western Wastes, but such exits no longer exist. It is believed that the Western Wastes were destroyed in the Rending and the Shattering.
Tear of Veeshan Replica
The New Combine sent an expedition into Siren's Grotto to investigate the sirens' claims of undead within their caves. But instead of undead, the expedition found only sirens wishing to trap them. They escaped the sirens' trap, and discovered a strange artefact within the Grotto: the Tear of Veeshan. Tests revealed that it was an amplifier, increasing the power of any sort of magic. Bringing it to the Drakelands, Queen Antonia Bayle, Overlord Lucan D'Lere, New Combine Field Marshal Vishra, droag chronomancer Jorlak, and Lord Yelinak planned on using it to defeat Kerafyrm. Jorlak used the stone to summon the visage of Lendiniara, one of the ancient Keepers, when Kerafyrm and his chronomages arrived, attacking the group. Lord Yelinak fought with Kerafyrm, while the chronomages attempted to use the Tear to
draw Lendiniara forth from where and when she was hidden. Yelinak was slain, but his sacrifice allowed the chronomages to be defeated and Jorlak to send the Queen and the Overlord to safety - but Kerafyrm seized the Tear of Veeshan. During a meeting with Firiona Vie and the Duality, the Overlord slew Vishra and attempted to slay the Queen, stopped only by the intervention of the Duality. Although the New Combine was at an end, the threat of Kerafyrm was not.

"Desert of Flames" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Parts of the former continent of Antonica continued to be rediscovered after the Shattering. The first of these was the Desert of Ro, home to the dunes of the Sinking Sands, the dervish city of Maj'Dul, and the mesas of the Pillars of Flame. Now nicknamed the Silent City, the city of Akhet Aken, home to the Sul'Dal, or sand elves, and its temple to Anashti Sul, a former goddess of healing who was banished for inadvertently introducing undeath to Norrath, were discovered underneath the Sinking Sands.
Once unified by Sultan Ahkari, Maj'Dul has become a city divided by factions who seek to rule it. While the factions have agreed not to engage in outright war, fights between them are not uncommon, and a web of treachery and assassination binds the city
together.
In the Pillars of Flame, the monks of the Ashen Order, one of the oldest monk clans in Norrath, and the Ashen Disciples, a group which split from the Order preferring strength and discipline to tranquillity and wisdom, make their home, along with the naga of the Anvil of Ro, who keep the secret of gaining entrance into the Shimmering Citadel of the djinn.
Court of the Blades Tapestry Court of the Coin Tapestry Court of Truth Tapestry Court of Tears Tapestry
These tapestries represent the major factions of the dervish city of Maj'Dul. The Court of the Blades protect the city from the hostile desert creatures, particularly the orcs of Rujark. The Court of the Coin control the flow of money in the city, including merchant transactions, banking, and wagering. The Court of Truth gather and maintain the knowledge of the Dervish people, and are heavily involved in the law making associated with the Arena Games. Unlike the other three, the Court of Tears remain hidden, engaging in thievery and assassination, perhaps for one - or all - of the other courts.
Carpet of El'Khazi
This flying carpet exemplifies the style of Maj'Dul, consisting of symbols, runes, and geometric designs, unlike the portraiture common in Qeynosian and Freeportian art. This particular carpet was obtained from El'Khazi, a rug merchant in the Sinking Sands. It is rumoured that this one was purchased with the spirit of a djinn lord.
A Globe of Old Norrath
This globe depicts Norrath as it was before the Shattering. This example comes from the Tunarian Alliance, the scouts' guild in Qeynos.

"Destiny of Velious" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The power of the twin swords was meant to keep the balance in Norrath. But it now resided with 'Fyr'remd Lorak' - the disguised dragon Lord Kerafyrm - who stole it following the defeat of Roehn Theer. While his plans were still unknown, the prophecy of Age's End described the dragon and the swords, and scholars knew that Kerafyrm could not contain that amount of power indefinitely. According to the research of the Duality, the runes of the Chelsith Stone relate to the prophecy, and the last one meant that the key to preventing Age's End was to be found in Velious. A horn was found that could summon immense beasts of the Ocean Lord, Prexus, and sounding it brought the giant sea turtle Lodizal to the docks of the Sinking Sands, along with worshippers of Prexus, the otter-like othmir. Their Speaker, Nipik, was the one who
received visions of Lodizal from Prexus.
Those who were brought to Velious by Lodizal found the othmir village of Fina's Retreat in the Great Divide. South of the village is the Tower of Frozen Shadow, the cursed home of Tserrina Syl'Tor, bride-to-be of the vampire Mayong Mistmoore. Also nearby are the Snowfang gnolls. Once numerous throughout the Iceclad Ocean region, they face extinction from starvation and undead attacks. On the mainland of Velious is Thurgadin, city of the coldain, ruled by Dain Frostreaver VI, and its elaborate harbour. The dwarves of Thurgadin have fought many battles against the Kromrif and Kromzek giants who also inhabit Velious, including the Ring War and the Battle of Storm Gorge. High in the mountains is the village of the goahmari goat-men. Secluded for centuries, they have emerged seeking help against the Order of
Rime, which has recently attacked them. The former Velketor's labyrinth is now home to the Order, with its leader Kraytoc Killingfrost within. But the Rime do not control the entire labyrinth: the efreet Lord Doljonijiarnimorinar continues to rule the Forgotten Pools. In the Eastern Wastes, the forces of Kael Drakkel and Drunder have ravaged the land and the forests. Not far from the Combine spires, the camp of the Ry'Gorr orcs is filled with unrest, having been subjugated by the Kromzek, who reside in the stone city of Kael Drakkel, whence they make war on the coldain and others. The fortress of Drunder, an extension of the Plane of War, has begun to materialise in the Eastern Wastes. Within, Rallos Zek has imprisoned his three children, Sullon, Tallon, and Vallon. It appears Rallos is invading Norrath against the wishes of the other deities. Nipik's Haven is the main othmir village, trying to survive in the midst
of war brewing all around them. The Pit of the Awakened holds Sleeper's Tomb, the former prison of Kerafyrm until his inadvertent release by adventurers who slew the four elemental warders keeping Kerafyrm asleep.
Nipik's Cane
Nipik, the othmir shaman who foresaw Lodizal and the arrival of those foretold, greeted the newcomers. Having them introduce themselves to the other othmir and earn their trust, they came to Nipik's aid when Lodizal became ill. They tracked the cause to the undead in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, and, destroying the tainted statues, cured the turtle. Not long after, Nipik's great-great-grandson Osh was ambushed by the undead and captured. After Osh's rescue, Nipik conducted the ceremony whereby he passed his powers as Speaker of Lodizal to Osh, before turning into sea foam and blowing away. All that was left behind was Nipik's walking stick.
Shrine of Prexus
Built from traditional othmir components, this shrine to the Ocean Lord is also a reminder that the villages of Nipik's Haven and Fina's Retreat are connected, and that both othmir camps must remain united.
Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl
Various prayer shawls are used by the coldain, ranging from simple burlap to elaborate silk. During the reign of Dain Frostreaver IV, an outlander was able to master the techniques of crafting a silk shawl, made from the crystalline silk spun by the spiders of Velketor's Labyrinth. Once woven, the shawl was embroided with sacred coldain patterns and a velium-etched rune. Once completed, the outlander was commissioned by the Dain to create armour for the coldain in preparation for war with the Kromzek giants, and sent to recruit the gnomish pirates of the Iceclad Ocean as allies. For these efforts, the Avatar of Below appeared and blessed the shawl, granting it the power of Brell himself. The shawl was eventually lost, believed to have gone missing when its owner was killed fighting snow griffins. Following this lead, it was
discovered that the great snow griffin Stormfeather had crashed, wounded, into the goahmari village with a damaged shawl clasped in one claw. Obtaining new crystalline spider silk and the hairs of sirens, the silk and the embroidery were able to be repaired by skilled artisans. The method of creating the rune had been lost, but was revealed by Brell after prayers to him were offered in Thurgadin's temple. Once repaired, the shawl was taken to a cave near the battle site of the Ring War, where the spirits of both coldain warriors and their giant foes remained trapped, in hopes of attracting Brell's attention and freeing the spirits. Summoning the spirits to the shawl, Brell appeared and re-blessed the shawl, but informed the artisans that it was not yet the spirits' time to depart. Their help was still needed, but they would join him in the Halls of the Creator when their work was complete.

"Destiny of Velious" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Eight of the ten rings, made of various metals, were originally owned by the coldain warrior Garadain Glacierbane, and granted to those who aided the coldain. The other two were awarded by the Dain. Many of them were lost over the centuries. One copper ring was found frozen on a corpse at the site of the Ring War battle, with runes showing that it belonged to Garadain. His descendant Malidain Glacierbane, glad to have the ring returned to him, gave the second, silver ring. As did his ancestor, Malidain granted the next rings - gold, platinum, and obsidian - for additional tasks: honouring the grave of Garadain with an ancestral blanket made from the finest kodiak pelts and cougar skins, locating the body of his father, discovered to have been slain in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, and crafting the Coldain Chipper pickaxe from a
pristine rhino horn. The Chipper was used to recover the mithril ring, which was also frozen in the Ring War battlefield. An adamantium ring was held by a coldain scout who had been captured by the Order of Rime, who returned to Thurgadin with urgent news: the Rime were preparing to attack Storm Gorge. For participating in the battle and defeating the Rime cavalry, the velium ring was awarded. Hearing about the battle, the bookkeeper Marpa Coldbrow requested assistance in retrieving artefacts relating to Tserrina Syl'Tor, needed to break the curse and defeat her. These were found inside the Tower of Frozen Shadow, earning the Coldain Hero's Insignia Ring from Dain Ulrinn Frostreaver VII. But another battle awaited: the final victory of the coldain spirits of the Ring War over the Kromrif. During the battle, echoes of which were periodically re-fought, the leader of the Kromrif, Narandi the Enraged, was slain,
and the coldain cryomancers were prevented from casting their Dweomer of Ice, putting an end to the battle and allowing the coldain spirits to finally rest. For this achievement, the tenth ring, the Ring of Dain Frostreaver VI, was granted.
Snowchipper
The coldain dwarves are named for their first leader, Colin Dain, who founded the city of Froststone, and died defending it from a Kromrif attack. He refused to allow all the coldain to perish in the defense, although they would have gladly stood with him, and he selected Glight Snowchipper to lead the rest to safety. They took refuge in the Crystal Caverns, where they built a new city, with a maze of tunnels to confuse any invaders. But they were eventually discovered by Slagd Frozentoe, who returned with two hundred and fifty Kromrif warriors. Glight fought the giants with his pick, Snowchipper, but knowing they were outnumbered, used the rubble from the construction to spring a trap. Glight and a few others led the Kromrif through the tunnels, and sprung the trap, burying not only the giants but also Glight,
who stayed behind to ensure the trap worked. During preparations for a recent exhibition in Thurgadin about early dwarven expeditions to Velious, adventurers gathering various artefacts discovered that the Ry'Gorr orcs and the Kromrif were once again seeking the Crystal Caverns. Encountering the spirit of Glight Snowchipper, the adventurers cleared the orcs from the caverns, and then defeated the spirit of Slagd, preventing him from summoning his undead frost giant army. This allowed Glight and the other coldain spirits to finally rest in peace. For this help, Glight gave them his weapon, which is displayed here.
Cursed Wedding Cake
The Tower of Frozen Shadow was built by Mayong Mistmoore for his bride-to-be, the Tier'Dal enchantress Tserrina Syl'Tor. Seeking immortality, she performed a ritual, likely in Nektulos Forest, but it appeared to have no effect. Intending on turning her into a vampire to share immortality with him, Mistmoore gave her a glass of his blood. Rather than become a vampire, however, the combination of the blood and the ritual caused Tserrina to change into something else. It was then that she discovered that the Tower was meant to be not merely a home, but her prison. Enraged, Tserrina cursed the entire tower, including all the servants inside. Mistmoore had left the tower to investigate why Tserrina failed to change into a proper vampire, and, although Tserrina continued to make preparations, he failed to return on the day of their wedding,
further driving her into insanity. When he did return, seeing her condition, he called off the wedding, and ensured she would be trapped in the tower forever. Tserrina slew all within, but her love for Mistmoore caused a piece of her soul to always remain at the altar, waiting to wed him. Despite her imprisonment, she was able to kidnap Dain Frostreaver VI. A rescue party was able to undo the curse and release Tserrina, allowing her to escape and seek revenge on Mistmoore. The cake from the wedding, displayed here, is also cursed.

"Echoes of Faydwer" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Of the major pre-Shattering continents of Norrath, Faydwer was the first to be rediscovered. Thought to have been destroyed, the tree city of Kelethin was found to be home to the Fae, small, winged beings who, like the elves, were also created by Tunare. The Fae, originating in the Lesser Faydark, still inhabit that area, but the powers unleashed during the Rending sped up the growth of the plants. No longer pine forests, giant mushrooms and vines cover the region. The Camp of the Legendary Wu, a group of human monks founded by Wu the Enlightened, who befriended the Fae, is also found there. Felwithe, city of the Koada'Dal and always somewhat isolationist, became much more so after the Shattering. The elves who lived there shortened their lifespans to encourage faster population growth, and called themselves the Renda'Dal,
or New Elves, and attack any visitors on sight, even Koada'Dal. The dwarven city of Kaladim had been taken over by kobolds and bugbears, and the control of Ak'Anon, renamed Klak'anon, was lost by the gnomes to their clockwork creations, with the gnomes retreating to the Steamfont Mountains and a new headquarters they called Gnomeland Security. The cursed Loping Plains remain home to Castle Mistmoore and its vampire inhabitants, led by Mayong Mistmoore, and the Butcherblock Mountains still contain the Estate of Unrest, in which the souls of those murdered by crazed dwarf Garanel Rucksif are said to still dwell. The ghost of Rucksif himself is said to reside deep in the manor's basement.
The Tender's Growth Floret
Grown from a seed of Growth, found only in the Emerald Halls, the lair of the dragon Wuoshi, who guarded the Bloom of Growth for Tunare until he was slain by adventurers.
Crested Shield of Mistmoore
Formerly used by glyphed ghouls in Castle Mistmoore, the ghouls now roam the Loping Plains, but no longer with their shields. Investigation of the strange tattooed flesh led to Amares D'Vehnz, a vampire who sought to slay a powerful undead ghoul lord. After restoring and upgrading a Ghoulbane sword for the task, those who did so were rewarded with this shield.
Touch of Arasai
Since the Shattering, most believed that the Teir'Dal city of Neriak had been destroyed, except for the fallen gate of the Foreign Quarter. But others were convinced it survived, particularly the Thexians and spared no effort searching for it. The city finally revealed itself when the sword Soulfire was stolen from Freeport's overlord Lucan D'Lere. It is believed he allowed it to be taken to force Neriak back into the open. Still ruled by Queen Cristanos, the city had sealed itself off after the Shattering. Through torture and dark magic Queen Cristanos created the Arasai, a twisted and corrupted version of the Fae, in much the same way that Innoruuk corrupted the children of Tunare to create the Teir'Dal.
This mushroom, named for the mischievous creatures, was grown in Longshadow Alley
and can still be found in Neriak. It is used by the Teir'Dal to create very potent poisons.
DO NOT EAT.

"Fallen Dynasty" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The isle of Mara consists of two main areas: the village of Shin to the south, and the Mystic Lake to the north. The Tower of the Four Winds, the monastery of the Whistling Fists Clan, founded by Zan Fi, stands on the hills above the village. In the village itself is an outpost of the Far Seas Trading Company, which, after initial distrust, have helped to distribute the highly detailed Wantia furniture made in the village according to the traditional recipes of the Nurwin family, and many other goods produced in the village. The Mystic Lake once held the city of Tanaan, until it was destroyed when they challenged Chel'Drak, the tortoise-like guardian of the 'ungod' Zebuxoruk. Zebuxoruk was released from his long vigil when Chel'Drak was defeated by a powerful group of adventurers, heralding the return of the gods to Norrath.
A Tranquil Bonsai
Bonsai is a manner of cultivating small trees in containers to mimic the appearance of full-size trees. Done for contemplation for the viewer and for the exercise of skill and effort for the planter, the art of bonsai is popular in the village of Shin. The grower must skilfully trim the plant, grown from cuttings rather than seeds, prepare areas for new branches and graft them in, and prune the tree into the desired shape. Once completed, the tree should appear completely natural.
The Spear of Sentries
To hasten the return of Mithaniel Marr, god of Valor, the Order of Marr, led by Sir Bayden Cauldthorn, prophet of Marr, searched for pre-Shattering artefacts. The Spear of Sentries was rumoured to have been buried with a priest of Mithaniel Marr named Celsar Vestagon. He was indeed found in the Freeport graveyard, but when his rest was disturbed, he demanded proof that the would-be wielder understand Valor. A Knight of Truth, Marko Quetalis, had infiltrated the Dismal Rage, investigating that group's plan to expel the goodly Orders from Freeport, when he was discovered to be a spy and murdered. Not even his family knew that he was a Knight of Truth, until his signet ring was returned to his family, restoring his, and their, honour. Next was the requirement to cross the bridge near Lucan's Mount in the Commonlands, the only
habitat of a rare beetle, without killing any of the beetles. Following this proof that the wielder valued life, the next test was a requirement to show faith, through death - by sacrificing himself on the altar in Celsar's chamber. Dutifully doing so, and having passed the tests, body and soul were reunited, and the Spear was obtained. This replica serves as a reminder that with the return of Valor also came Fear, Hate, and War.
Sacrifical Dagger of Fear
Prophet Danak Dhorentath and those who followed Cazic-Thule, god of Fear, sought to feed the Gate of Fear, believing their god would reward them once he reappeared. The ritual dagger displayed here, along with a device called a Soul Shredder, was used to harvest souls for the Gate, which then poured out minions of Fear.
The Pool of Tranquility
This pool was awarded for the rescue of followers of Quellious, goddess of Peace and Tranquillity, when some of her followers were captured by the minions of War and held in Deathfist Citadel. Sensei Makoto Shoda, then the head of the dojo in the Elddar Grove and prophet of Quellious, organised a rescue, but as they were sworn to non-violence, it had to be done without harming any of the orcs inside the fortress.
The Gong of War
To honour Rallos Zek, god of War, his prophet Tychus Zeksworn held the usual ritual: battle. Those who would follow Rallos tested their abilities in the Arena of Zek, in Deathfist Citadel. Those who were victorious were awarded with this gong, a replica of the one in the arena used to start each round of combat.
Pick of the Underfoot
At a ceremony to awaken all the followers of Brell Serilis, god of Earth and creatures below, six chieftains of the creations of Brell, dwarves, gnomes, and Darkpaw, Skindancer, Splitpaw, and Underpaw gnolls, each believed the others were not true followers of Brell and wanted to harm them. It was determined that the person responsible for spreading the rumours and stirring up the camp had also stolen the ritual tablet used to start the ceremony. With the help of a Darkpaw Sniffer, the ratonga thief was tracked to the Blackburrow Brewery, who gave the tablet back along with a letter of apology. This magical pick was awarded for the safe return of the tablet.
The Hand of Ro
Prophet Civean Il'Pernod tested those who would follow Solusek Ro, god of fire, to strengthen them for their god's return. The test required crossing the Pit of Faith. Only the willing touch of fire would extend the bridge, requiring a sacrifice of one's flesh, and the torches had to be lit in the correct order. As a memento of their triumph, those who passed the test received a replica of the Hand of Ro, which stands at the dock of Lavastorm.
Bowl of Growth Book of Hate
Long ago, the Koada'Dal acquired half of the Scroll of H'dar, an incantation used to create a channel directly with Innoruuk, the god of Hate worshipped by the Teir'Dal. The other half was in Neriak. By capturing Felwithe, the city of the high elves, Prince Talvus Thex obtained the other half of the scroll. To stop Thex and his army, which was reinforced by the forces of Commander N'Farre and his dragoons, the Kithicor Rangers met them in battle at Cauldron Hollow. During the chaos of the battle, the half of the scroll held by Thex was lost. The fall of Cauldron Hollow warped the fabric of time, allowing both Eva Corunno'thes, high priestess of Tunare, goddess of Growth, and Xilania Nevagon, Seraph of Hate, to send adventurers back in time to attempt to obtain the scroll. Both sides were suddenly attacked and slain by
Assassins of the Arm, which was unknown to previous histories. The scroll remained lost, but both rewarded the adventurers with tokens of their respective deities: an ivy-covered bowl, providing a blessing of regeneration to followers of Tunare who drink from it, and the Book of Hate, setting forth the shadowy teachings of Innoruuk.

"Kingdom of Sky" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The reactivation of the Ulteran spire teleportation network led to the Overrealm, also known as the Plane of Sky. The restored spires allowed for two-way travel, no longer requiring visitors to leap from above and hope for the best. Many flying races live among the islands of the Overrealm, including the droag, humanoid servants of the dragons, inhabiting the dusky Tenebrous Tangle, and the aviak, eagle-like beings who make their home in the Barren Sky, land of eternal sun. The gnomish Drednever expedition, despite some setbacks, has been exploring the volcanic islands of the Bonemire, shrouded in eternal twilight, where the fates of the ancient dragons Lord Vyemm and Tarinax the Destroyer may be found.
Egg Warmer A Tiny Stuffed Magical Aviak Plushie
These egg warmers aid in the hatching of aviak eggs. After the repair of the Ulteran spires, many aviaks would fight in the arena in Maj'Dul.
Ceremonial Tapestry
This tapestry is one of several designs used by the droag Cult of the Awakened, who assist their draconic master in his plans for Norrath.
Claws of the Earth Sculpture
This sculpture represents a piece of the sky held between the 'claws of the earth', a rock formation on the Isle of the Watchers, the highest island in the Barren Sky. A story is told of a fae named Clarissa Cloudpuff, whose mother, when Clarissa was young, would tell her that no matter how bad things were, looking up at the beautiful sky would make her feel better. Ever since, Clarissa and her brother Criggle searched for a piece of the sky. But one day, Criggle started acting strange, and eventually ran off with Clarissa's journal with her notes on obtaining a piece of the sky. Sadly, Criggle's bones were found in the Barren Sky - the Criggle who was still searching for a piece of the sky was an imposter who had killed the real Criggle! Clarissa hurried to complete the ritual at the Claws of the Earth to obtain a piece of the sky, doing so, but the imposter
revealed himself and the fate of her brother before escaping. Having achieved her dream, it gave her hope that the imposter would be found someday.

"Kunark Ascending" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The third shard of the Chaos Rebirth Stone remained hidden in the Arcanna'se Spire. Queen Alwenielle, sensing that the magic hiding the spire was fading, had an imitation stone created, and sent adventurers to hide the real one within a magical censer. The switch was made, but Lanys T'Vyl discovered the plan. The Queen teleported the adventurers out, but with her magic fading, she did not know where they were teleported to. They found themselves captured by the Crusaders of Greenmist, and taken to their cave in Obulus Frontier. Helping defend the camp against sarnak Sel'Nok invaders, they were freed, and Zhazsze, a disciple of Cazic-Thule, spoke of a vision of these adventures, with Cazic-Thule requiring their service. Also captured was the shaman Setri Lur'eth, who sought to help some disturbed iksar spirits, and who
had previously been seen seeking her lost granddaughter in Nektulos Forest during the Nights of the Dead. Several arcane obelisks were discovered around the area, which appeared to cause those who leave Obulus Frontier to lose their memories of the area, but this did not affect the adventurers, even after being banished from the region by elves, ending up in Kylong Plains. The elves were from the city of Nye'Caelona, in Warslik Wood, northeast of the Crusaders' camp. Although previous elven attempts to settle on Kunark had met with defeat, one of Dominus Rile's generals told the Crusaders to allow these elves to remain, as part of their cover, since it was the elven spell keeping the Crusaders from being discovered.
The elves, the Cae'Dal, requested assistance in repairing the obelisks, as the obfuscation spell was decaying. After doing so, the
adventures returned to the Crusaders' camp, where they were asked to obtain a new weapon for Dominus Rile. The original Greenmist blade had been lost at sea, and this would confirm him as the Chosen by Cazic-Thule. Venturing into the crypt of Dalnir, the great weaponsmith of Rile Sathir, a new weapon was forged from materials found within, and it was taken to the Kunzar Jungle to be blessed by Xuurk, the Hand of Cazic-Thule, and presented to Dominus Rile, along with his phylactery, ensuring Venril no longer had it. Hearing of Venril's plan to resurrect Drusella Sathir, his wife and empress, Rile planned to attack during the ritual, knowing Venril would be vulnerable. The plan, and the battle, were successful, and Rile deposed his father Venril to become emperor of the Sebilisian Empire.
After the battle, Setri Lur'eth again asked for aid, seeking shards of Dalnir's ghosts,
sarnaks doomed to wander Warslik's Woods, so she could free them. Returning with the shards, she wondered how the adventurers could leave Obulus Frontier and return without losing their memories. Realising it was the stone hidden in the censer, keeping memories that would otherwise be lost, they mentioned it to Setri. She immediately summoned Lanys T'Vyl, who, seizing the third shard of the Chaos Rebirth Stone, opened a portal to Vaedenmoor, the realm of Despair. Confronted by Innoruuk, she destroyed the stone, releasing its power to slay her father, which allowed Setri Lur'eth - revealing herself to be Terris Thule - to ascend to Goddess of Nightmares, and resurrected Saryrn, Mistress of Torment.
Scribe's Arcane Podium
Found within the Arcanna'se Spire, this podium holds the books of the scribes, including those that contain the spells to seal or release the door.
Broken Tooth Covered Jar
In the northern part of Obulus Frontier is the goblin village of Twark, where the Bloody Tooth goblins live among iksar ruins with their tame forest slugs. Artisans who gained their trust during the events surrounding the ascension of Emperor Rile learned their crafts, including this jar in their style.
Kaesora Ritual Carving
Kaesora was an iksar citadel built during the reign of Rile Sathir and used by his vampiric general Chosooth to gather knowledge. At one time, it contained the most knowledge anywhere outside the Plane of Knowledge itself. This carving was found in the ruins, perhaps merely decorative, but perhaps connected to experiments rumoured to be conducted by General Chosooth.
Torsis Ewer
The city once known as Torsis, but now commonly called the City of Mist, was built by Lord Rak'Ashiir not long after the Shissar fell. When his wife Queen Neh'Ashiir had a secret romance with High Scale Kirn, and the two fled the city, Lord Rak'Ashiir lost faith in Cazic-Thule after he took Rak'Ashiir's daughter away. This loss of faith led to many leaving Torsis, and the city's fall, now inhabited only by undead and spirits. This ewer reflects the style of the city, once full of trade and a base for the army, and richly decorated with the finest Kunark limestone, marble, and tapestries.
Cae'dal Bowl
This bowl displays the style of the elves of Nye'Caelona, the elven city in Warslik's Wood. The Cae'Dal originally lived in the Elddar Forest until they noticed it was slowly dying, and migrated to another forested land where they founded the colony of Khalee'Sri. That forest also became a desert, but they saw it as a lesson from Tunare, that the desert, no less than the forest, is teeming with life and with Growth.
Ancient Desert Urn
During the Nights of the Dead, magical pumpkins were created that, when thrown, could be pulped by others for treats. More recently, the spirits began granting gifts to the thrower, as well. One such gift was this urn, in the style of Maj'Dul, where the holiday began. It was rumoured that the spirits would grant a bat which would serve any adventurer as a mount. So many urns were obtained by people looking for the mount that they were sold for a few copper pieces each, and entire houses were built from them. It remains unknown if the bat actually exists, or if it was simply a trick by the spirits.

"Planes of Prophecy" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
As creations of Druzzil Ro, magic is intrinsic to the Yrzu. They are able to feel it flowing through them, to shape and direct it, giving them a sense of connection to their world.
Khali'Yrzu Crate of Crystals
The Yrzu use their magic to shape the rocks of the Plane of Magic, and gather many types of crystals from the plane to use for various purposes. The brighter ones are metetherial crystals, pure essences of the plane's magic, and the darker ones are from the Aetherscar, which was created by an unnatural magical eruption.
Khali'Vahla Arcanum Orb
The Vahla are one of the two houses of Allyrians, the creations of Druzzil Ro. They practise Effect magic, such as persuasion and illusion, augmenting the world as it exists in one's mind and senses. They view the Affect magic practised by the Yrzu as brutal, forcing its will upon others. They use orbs such as this one to store arcanum, the energy of the Plane of Magic.
Khali'Vahla Chest
This chest is of the Vahla style, reflecting their city and their Effect magic, distinct from the Yrzu's Affect magic.
Starfire Crystal
The Pride Pakiat sphinxes of the Pakiat Bluffs are not native to the Plane of Magic, possibly having been summoned as part of some plan that failed. These crystals are found throughout the Pakiat Bluffs, used in many magical sources, having the ability to allow magic to flow and be directed, and as a source that can be harvested or consumed.
Arcane Remnant Seal Powered Etherium Pad
These arches and pads allow for teleportation across the Plane of Magic, built from etherium, an ore common to the plane. Their magic is such that they require visiting once before use, but can then be used to access any other pad which has previously been visited.
Chrono Gate
This is a model of the gate opened by Lanys T'Vyl in the Molten Throne, destroyed with her in the detonation of the Dresolik crystal.

"Planes of Prophecy" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Students of magic, even the most promising mages, in both the Concordium and the Academy of Arcane Science began to have difficulty with their magical lessons. But more experienced practitioners felt that their magic was more empowered. Consulting the dragon Lendiniara, it was learned that these strange sensations indicated that a greater power was awakening. An ancient tome, half from Kaesora and half from Silent City, described a ritual to release the magic that was filling up the world. T'dylis, a researcher who had been working with the Concordium and Academy, performed it at the Combine Spire in the Greater Faydark, and received a message from an unknown voice thanking him for 'turning the key'.
The 'key' unlocked a new destination on the spire network: the Plane of Magic, the realm
of Druzzil Ro, goddess of Magic. Those who had worked with T'dylis travelled to the plane, where three factions resided. While not at war with each other, relations between them were tense, with a possibility of open conflict erupting at any time. Two of them were Allyrians, creations of Druzzil Ro, split into the Yrzu and Vahla houses in a long-ago schism, and residing on floating platforms on either side of the Fount of Arcanum. The third was a tribe of sphinxes, Pride Pakiat, who lived to the east in the desert and mesas of the Pakiat Bluffs, with their aluxob servants. The four arcane seals around the Fount had been shattered by Druzzil Ro herself, enabling new arts of ascension, Elementalism, Etherealism, Geomancy, and Thaumaturgy, to enter Norrath, and to draw those who had mastered their power to the plane, as Lanys T'Vyl and her Tenets of Hate, Terris Thule and Saryrn, threatened the planes of the gods as well as Norrath.
In the Coliseum of Valor, Mithaniel Marr welcomed those who would aid Druzzil against Lanys. The Hounds of War had been asked to join Lanys, but only Sullon Zek was convinced to do so. No other gods sided with the Tenets of Hate as of yet, but Bertoxxulous was believed to be the next target. The portal to the Plane of Disease was closed, but Meldrath, the gnome who had developed machines and magicks to open planar portals, was in the Plane of Innovation. That plane had never severed its ties with Norrath, allowing Druzzil to open a portal to it.
The clockworks in the Plane of Innovation led the visitors to Meldrath, who had been split into two. Meldrath the Marvelous had escaped from his brother, Meldrath the Malignant, and his experiments of forcing his consciousness into clockworks. Using
this to escape his brother, Meldrath the Marvelous did what he could to shield the visitors from his brother while they searched for parts to an Enigmatic Portal Opening Device, or EPOD. Protecting them as they were confronted by Meldrath the Malignant, and then by the Great Gear, an emerging consciousness of the plane itself, showing the very spirit of Innovation, the device was assembled and a portal to the Plane of Disease opened within the Coliseum.
Within the Plane of Disease, the Springview Healers, the followers of the Plaguebringer, sought to stop the visitors. With the help of masks found on the healers, and then blessed by Druzzil, they made their way through the plague-ridden plane to the Crypt of Decay disguised as puslings, where Lanys was indeed attempting to recruit Bertoxxulous. She took some object from the
air, which appeared to be her true goal, as Bertoxxulous appeared to only be humouring her.
Although other gods agreed on the need to confront Lanys, they disagreed on allowing mortals to enter their planes. Some, like Quellious and Karana, were in favour, but others refused, particularly Solusek Ro, who resolved to incinerate any mortal entering his Plane of Fire. Karana was not responding to Mithaniel's summons, however, so an expedition was sent to the Plane of Storms. It found that the Primordial Malice had attacked, and Karana's Staff of the Rainkeeper had been broken, causing him to lose control over the plane. Obtaining elements from each of the plane's towers, the staff was remade. Karana, confronted by Agnarr, who had imprisoned Karana and to whom Lanys promised the Plane of Storms, transported himself and the visitors back to
the Coliseum, leaving Agnarr to be dealt with later, recognising his throne was nothing if Norrath and the planes fell to Lanys.
Druzzil believed Lanys was attempting to reach the Plane of Time. Centuries ago, she had rewoven the threads of time, which saved all of existence, but split the weave of time in two: two Norraths, two Planes of Disease, two Planes of Magic, and so on. Now Lanys was trying to obtain objects in the other reality to make them exist in this one, to re-establish a connection to the Plane of Time. A mortal enchantress from the other timeline was summoned, who built a device which she called paradoxulars, allowing one to see items from another timeline. The next item was the Globe of Dancing Flame, held by Solusek Ro in his Molten Throne. Travelling through the Tower of Solusek Ro, they were stopped by
Solusek, furious that mortals were present in his plane. He had already fought off Lanys and her army, but prevented from advancing further, Lanys was one item closer to her goal. She had taken a large crystal, not the Globe of Dancing Flame, but perhaps this was to replace the Globe. The next item was the Sphere of Coalesced Water, in the Plane of Water, within the Brackish Vaults. Mithaniel Marr transported the visitors there, who fought their way through the vault and obtained the sphere ahead of Lanys.
The good news, however, soon gave way to bad. Morell-Thule, brother of Terris-Thule, had learned from his sister, whom he had convinced to abandon Lanys, that the crystal wasn't a replacement for the Globe of Burning Flame, but the Dresolik. During the Age of Turmoil, Solusek Ro, allied with Rallos Zek, channeled and amplified
elemental power into a gem kept at the top of his tower on Dresolik Mountain. They planned to use it to annihilate Norrath, but the machine was destroyed by a band of mortals. While the crystal was detonated here - likely destroying Luclin - it remained in the other reality, until Lanys seized it, and began to construct a time gate in the Molten Throne and charge the Dresolik with the plane's energy. With the aid of Druzzil Ro, Quellius, Mithaniel Marr, who held back Sullon Zek, the mortals fought the Tenets' minions, moving towards the Dresolik. They set it to detonate, but Druzzil, Solusek, and Fennin Ro, who had just been freed by Morris-Thule, shielded them from the crystal's blast, trapping Lanys with it, destroying her.

"Rise of Kunark" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The second continent to be rediscovered after the Shattering, Kunark is home to the reptilian races of Norrath, the iksar and sarnak. Led by Dominus Rile, the iksar dwell in their city of Sebilis, deep inside the Kunzar Jungle. Originally built by Venril Sathir and destroyed by Trakanon, the city has been rebuilt. The sarnak city of Chardok is in the Kylong Plains, where a neutral city home to many races, Teren's Grasp, has been established at the site of the old Combine spires. While Karnor's Castle used to be a desert fortress, the trees now have relentlessly made their way to it. At Kunzar's Edge, near the remains of the elven city of Firiona Vie, the inhabitants defend their outpost against the attacks of the Gra'al Shul iksar.
Another sarnak city, Gorowyn, was
established 60 years ago on the islands of the Timorous Deep: Chrykori, Gorowyn, and Mok. The militaristic sarnak continue to fight the Haoaeran spirocs on the isles, and, more recently, Blackshield pirates. Gorowyn has a reputation for tolerance, and unlike elsewhere, those who are not citizens of it or its allies are not attacked on sight.
Much of the Fens of Nathsar are divided between the iksar of Riliss, bastion of the Sathirian Empire, and the sarnak of Bathezid's Watch, which, so far, has been able to stand against the Sathirian Empire. The human and elven outpost of Omen's Call sits on the coast, a starting point for those who seek the ruins of the iksar resort of Veksar, thought lost to the waters of the Lake of Ill Omen, but once again rediscovered. To the north rises Kurn's Tower, surrounded by the caves of the burynai.
In the Jarsath Wastes, the iksar city of Charasis, in the Overthere, is home to the mightiest of the iksar, the Kunzar, and was the birthplace of Venril Sathir, who united the iksar. They also inhabit the docks of the Danak outpost, operating a shipyard. The dragons' lair of Veeshan's Peak lies in the Skyfire Mountains. Many adventurers have travelled inside to try their skills against the draconic inhabitants. Some have made it back out.
Mounted Fish
The battle between the sarnak fisherman Niba'Ouz and Vethka the Gorger could only end one way: with Vethka mounted on Niba'Ouz's wall. In gratitude for their assistance, he presented the saltfin he caught to those who helped him.
Statue of a Di'Zok Warrior Statue of a Sathirian Warrior
Both the Di'Zok of Bathezid's Watch and the Sathirians of Riliss have numerous blueprints and recipes, but will only share them with those who have earned their trust. These statues depict a warrior of each group, and have been imbued with magic boosting the skill of any artisan.
Mounted Celestial Mallet
During a blight spreading across Norrath, Seeress Ealaynya Ithis was elevated to prophet of Rodcet Nife, the Prime Healer. Aided by items of healing provided by Rodcet Nife himself, the Seeress sent adventures across Norrath to cure those afflicted by the blight. Agents of Bertoxxulous, god of Disease, were discovered spreading the plague, but visions granted to the Seeress revealed their locations, and the items and visions from Rodcet Nife were able to put an end to both the plague and those spreading it. This Celestial Mallet, crafted by the Celestial Watch and blessed by the Seeress, was granted to those who aided in the healing.
Temple of Life
The Celestial Watch, the priests' guild of Qeynos, is based in the Temple of Life. While they honour all the good gods, the Temple itself is based on the design favoured by Rodcet Nife, god of Healing. This model was found in a chest in the Down Below, opened by a key which had been swallowed by one of the koalindl fish that swim in the water around the Temple. The design reminds us that, 'No matter how far we travel nor how dark the days may seem, the light of this temple burns bright. Let it guide and strengthen you, and you, in turn, will become a beacon for others in their time of need.'
Decorative Runed Battleaxe
Although currently inhabited by kobolds and bugbears, from time to time dwarves travel to Kaladim to ensure that the dwarven knowledge left behind is not lost. One such dwarf, Braxley, was researching the various axes used by the Kaladim dwarves. He shared his research with those brave enough to sneak into the city to gather information for him. This battleaxe is an example of the Kaladim style.
Succulent Plushie
These walking, eyed cacti are common in the Jarsath Wastes. Poking one causes it to release pollen, which is a component in certain spells.

"Rum Cellar" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The Brokenskull pirates, after repeated attacks on the Far Seas Trading Company, was running low on rum. With some of the pirates calling this the 'rumpocalypse', claiming the most dangerous thing in the world is a sober pirate, they invaded the Far Seas Distillery in the Phantom Sea. Initially successful at taking over the facility, the Far Seas, with some outside help, fought back, eventually pushing the pirates out.
Nibbles
The parrot of Charandra, the Brokenskull shaman who led the attack on the Far Seas Distillery. During the attack, the bird is reported to have shouted orders to help the pirates navigate the caves and buildings. Not fond of all of the pirates, those who Nibbles almost led to their deaths took revenge on Nibbles, killing him - at least until he could be reanimated by Charandra.
Or so it was thought. Nibbles was actually Baz the Illusionist, who, following Charandra's defeat, revealed himself, ending the charades of the Brokenskull pirates in the rum cellar when he was also defeated.
Damaged Tunarbos Replica
Disturbances had been reported within the Faydark, of figures cloaked in hate and malice corrupting the strength of Growth. They were discovered to be cultists of the Primordial Malice, and there were further reports of disturbances in Antonica, the Enchanted Lands, and Everfrost. Tunarbos, the World Tree, in Everfrost, had been split open, and the cultists had bones of sentient creatures which they pierce themselves with, including their eye sockets. This allowed a spell to show what the bones witnessed: Villandre V'Zher, daughter of Lanys T'Vyl, sacrificed herself so that her mother could rise within her daughter's body.
Not long after, there were additional reports of disturbances, this time of elementals. Clockworks were found among the undergolems, and when parts were fit
together, they had a message asking for help from Moradhim and Klick'Anon to fend off an attack from 'aberrants'. Both cities mentioned were likely destroyed in the Rending, but this suggested that the city under attack was in Subtunaria or the Underfoot, and Serilian.

"Sentinel's Fate" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The repair of the Ulteran spire network made it possible to travel to Odus, torn from Norrath and shifted into Ultera. During his attempt to take control of the city of Erudin, El'Arad built a new Nexus based on the Luclin Nexus in Toxxulia Forest. Unknown to him, the gods had blocked travel through Luclin, and the energy was discharged back into the new Nexus, causing the entire continent to shift. During the chaos, El'Arad revealed that he was working with the Void and Roehn Theer, and his shadowed allies appeared in the city.
The Stonebrunt Highlands contain the remains of Erudin, along with the village of Moonfield Hamlet and the ruins of Quel'ule. The great wall in Quel'ule once divided the Erudites of Erudin, who worshipped Quellious, from the Heretics of Paineel, who
worshipped Cazic-Thule. All that now remains of the wall is the gate. In the Sundered Frontier, the city of Paineel sits above the ruins of old Paineel, commonly called simply the Hole. Digging too deep and reaching the Plane of Underfoot, elementals and minions of Brell Serilis swept through the city, forcing the Heretics to retreat to the current location of the city. The various factions of invaders still retain control over the Hole.
Further investigation into the kidnapping of Overlord Lucan D'Lere learned that he was being held captive by Roehn Theer in Erudin Palace. With the help of a strange figure named Fyr'remd Lorak, the investigation led to Anashti Sul herself, who had once allied herself with Theer to enable her to escape the Void. She said that Theer's power to slay even the gods has caused the deities to again retreat from Norrath to find a
way to defeat him. Using a binding thread obtained from the lich Perah'Celsis, mortal adventurers defeated Roehn Theer and rescued the Overlord from his captivity. With his defeat, the Void invasion of Norrath was at an end. But Lorak then appeared, and performed a rite which drained the swords Enoxus and Aeteok, the Qeynos Claymore and Soulfire, of their power, and then vanished.
Kejek Totem Pole
The kerra, originally from the city of Kejek in the Stonebrunt Mountains, now reside only on Kerra Isle, having been pushed out of the Stonebrunt Highlands by the erudites. This totem pole exemplifies their craftsmanship. Making a variety of goods, but primarily clothing and potions of various types, the kerra share their recipes once their visitors prove trustworthy.
Hua Mein Totem
Hidden from outsiders, the panda-like Hua Mein withdrew after Odus was lifted into Ultera. The war between the Hua Mein and the Erudites resulted in few Hua Mein surviving. Changed by the storm, they claim their namesake Hua Mei as their saviour, who taught them three things: nothing is lost and all things return, nothing shall remain constant, and cause and effect. She taught them to coexist with the land, and those who do good will have good things happen, and those who do bad will have bad things happen. This totem is made from bamboo, which the Hua Mein not only eat but use in building many things.
Laboratory Research Flask
With the Ulteran spires again active, researchers and artisans have returned to Quel'ule to study the site. Primarily scholars, this flask is an example of the equipment used in their research.
Truth of Marr
The paladin entrusted with Valeron Dushire's Testimony, a holy relic of the Order of Marr, by a knight captured in the former home of the Order, Freeport, was the one prophesied to return 'that which was lost' and would go on to slay mighty evils. After freeing frogloks enslaved by Sebilis, the paladin was told by a spirit to seek the Truth of Marr, to 'balance the power, carry out justice and bring peace to the innocent'. Informed by the scholar Izzal Din that the Truths of Marr, tablets of living metal, were lost in a battle against in the Sphere of Malevolance, a demi-plane of Fear, the paladin learned that the iksar in the Kunzar Jungle were worshipping Cazic-Thule with an item of malevolence. Told by a servant that the Sword of Malevolence was inside the Tabernacle of Pain and used in the Rites of Challenge, the paladin entered, defeated
the Tabernacle's grandmasters, and claimed the sword, which revealed itself to be the Truth of Marr. The tablets had reformed themselves into the sword, but were corrupted by the influence of the Sphere. Realising that an ancient Marrsian text was about the sword, not the tablets, the paladin learned to 'Cure the irascibility of the item once gallant with Rings of Contrition! Wield the sword of truth, and others will yield.' Defeating the holders of the three rings: the golem Imzok's Revenge, who had the Ring of Valor, the drachnid Tairiza the Widow Mistress, who had the Ring of Mercy, and the dragon Hoshkar, deep in Veeshan's Peak, who had the Ring of Generosity, the paladin cleansed the weapon, restoring the Truth of Marr to its full power.
Later, based on the research of Sa'ib Waseem, a member of Paineel's Hall of Wizardry, a spell was created which could transfer the
powers of a weapon directly to a person, permitting their use even without the weapon. Gathering the potent and dangerous items needed for the spell, Waseem successfully performed the ritual. The enervated weapon is displayed here.
A Vigilant Captain's Chair Fresh Fruit Assortment Authentic Cooking Pot from the Vigilant
The Sentinel was an airship originally built by the Erudin Erudites and used to haul large amounts of cargo overland. When the Void intruded into Odus, it was abandoned. The Paineel Erudites claimed the airship and re-worked it for their own purposes. It then became known as the Vigilant, as it watched over and protected the city. When the Tallonites attacked the Vigilant and captured the crew, a rescue attempt was made which successfully freed the crew but was unable to fully defeat the invaders. The decision was then made to destroy the airship rather than let the Tallonites use it. The captain's chair, fruit plate, and cooking pot are some of the items which survive the Vigilant's final destruction.

"Sentinel's Fate" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
After being freed from his grief in the Shard of Love, Mithaniel Marr searched Norrath for a place to build New Halas, to replace the city destroyed in the Rending. Finding an island in the Frostfang Sea, later named Erollis, he convinced the coldain dwarves who lived on the island to allow the building of the city. In the centre of the town is a statue of his sister, Erollisi Marr. After the city's establishment, many followers of Mithaniel Marr, particularly barbarians and frogloks, migrated to the city.
When ships travelling to New Halas were attacked by snow orcs, much like the passengers of the Far Journey who were brought to the Isle of Refuge, the survivors of the orc attacks were tended to at Pilgrim's Landing, a chunk of ice and rock upon which the New Halasians had built a camp.
This table was made from the wreckage of one of the ships.
Coldain Anvil
This anvil, made in New Halas, is of coldain design. The coldain are known for their skill at smithing, particularly with velium.
White Granite Druid Ring
Kurista, a fae servant of Tunare, sought to restore the druid rings found in various locations around Norrath: Nektulos Forest, the Enchanted Lands, Zek, the Feerrott, the Sinking Sands, Loping Plains, the Jarsath Wastes, and the Stonebrunt Highlands. Seeking help with her plan, many adventurers aided in the effort, guarding the rings from the drakota and other enemies of Growth, gathering living stones delivered from the Plane of Growth by Karana, and crafting Eldritch materials to repair the rings, allowing Kurista to perform the Rite of Renewal at each site. Once the rituals were completed, the newly-restored druid rings could be used for teleportation, adding their locations to the rings in Antonica, Butcherblock Mountains, the Commonlands, Darklight Wood, Greater Faydark, Kunzar Jungle, Kylong Plains, the Moors of Ykesha,
and the Steamfont Mountains.
This is a model of the druid ring in the Enchanted Lands, made of white granite.
Chipped Freeport Celebration Cup Chipped Qeynos Celebration Cup
To celebrate the five-year anniversary of the Isle of Refuge, which trained many heroes for Qeynos and Freeport after the Shattering, the restoration of Qeynos and Freeport, and the innumerable accomplishments made in rebuilding Norrath, rediscovering old lands, and defeating evils, Queen Antonia Bayle of Qeynos and Overlord Lucan D'Lere of Freeport held a Heroes' Festival in the two cities, and spoke to their people. These cups were made for the event.
'Good citizens of Qeynos, I come before you today in honour of our city and all of our accomplishments. It has been five years since our light guided the first refugee to the welcoming shores of our island colony. During this time you have risen to every challenge Surviving the multitude
of threats, both natural and unnatural orchestrated by neighbouring kingdoms, delusional zealots and misguided entities, alike. You have kept our city of valour safe with the sweat of your brow and the blood of your veins. It is your sacrifice and accomplishment that we honour today, within this paradise without equal!'
--Queen Antonia Bayle
'Gather around, my subjects. Heed my words and draw strength from the word of D'Lere! It has been five years since my island outpost began taking on refugees from the calming seas. During this time you have been kept secure within these walls - safe against the multitude of threats, plots and deceptions perpetrated by neighbouring kingdoms, delusional zealots and meddling entities. Rejoice in this! Take this moment to recall where you have been and
acknowledge what could have been. Destiny is not done with us yet! Five years it has been since that day, but we have a great many more ahead!'
--Overlord Lucan D'Lere

"Tears of Veeshan" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
With Lord Yelinak dead, returning to the Ethernere was the next step. The dragons' land in the Ethernere, called the Vesspyr Isles, reflects the Norrathian land they revere, the Overrealm. In the Vesspyr Isles, Lord Yelinak said that although he took up the cause of leading the Claws of Veeshan, the best choice would have been Lendiniara. It was then discovered that Kerafyrm had breached the veil into the Ethernere, and moved the Temple of Veeshan there. An attempt was made to locate her through the Nexus Core, similar to the Nexus in Odus, but upon activation, the heart of the Nexus shattered. Lord Yelinak suggested finding someone with the knowledge to repair the Heart, but Drinal's Steward refused to allow any more mortals to enter the Ethernere. But he did allow a bargain to be made, as Drinal often does. The holes in the veil go both
ways, and goblin spirits had escaped into High Keep. Capture and return them, or face the immediate judgment of Drinal. The spirits were successfully captured, but Drinal's Steward did not allow further travel into the Ethernere. Only those areas which were already accessed could be revisited. Fortunately, an erudite named Zal'Urid was in Cardin Ward, and agreed to try to fix the Nexus. He said it had a protection trap, which triggered when it was used by someone not authorised. The pieces of the Heart were scattered around Vesspyr Isles, but eventually retrieved. Zal'Urid repaired the Heart, and it was used to contact Lendiniara. She, noting that this was a Nexus of time, not just space, and that it was powered by the Tears of Veeshan, used the Tears to empower those who had entered, to enable them to destroy the Tears. With the amplified power, two of the three were destroyed, but Kerafyrm's General Raklish
had already seized the third. After the battle, where the power of the Nexus was used against him, Raklish was defeated.
The prophecy, however, was not yet averted. To complete the Shissar calendar, the final monolith of Theer was obtained from Mayong Mistmoore. The Shissar had recorded that when all sixteen events depicted on the calendar had occurred, the centre event would then occur. While the symbols detail the end of creation, they also show how it can be averted. The Duality concluded that the Nameless would destroy his creations who failed to interpret the message, and then build again in a new cycle. New runes then appeared on the calendar, representing the Awakened, the Swords of Destiny, Bayle, and D'Lere, among others. Although the swords had been drained by Kerafyrm, they were not completely inert, having been used to slay
Rallos Zek. At the location of the fall of Lord Yelinak, Lendiniara returned, bringing Firiona Vie's staff, Lifeguide, which had been lost during the events when the Overlord slew Field Marshal Vishra. Although glad to have it back, she detected that someone with malice had used it. Jorlak, Firiona Vie, Lendiniaria, Queen Antonia Bayle, Overlord Lucan D'Lere, and those who had destroyed the Tears and retrieved the monolith assembled at Skyshrine Tower for the final battle - along with Roehn Theer, to whom Jorlak had returned the swords.
High Keep Ornate Chest
The fortress of High Keep was once the centre of an empire which ruled much of central Antonica. It was reduced to the area of Highpass Hold from attacks by orcs and gnolls. Now, High Keep has fallen to the Pickclaw goblins, led by a dwarf who claimed to be Bolgin Serilis, who had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the keep. This chest shows the style of the furnishings of the keep, which, prior to the Shattering, had been a stopping point for travellers, a resort including a casino.
Bixie Lamp
Adventurers who travelled to an alternate version of Guk, where bixies now ruled, and two queens fought for control of the hive, brought back this lamp. It appears that it may have been grown, rather than manufactured.
Dark Ethernere Crystal Charged Ethernere Crystal
These crystals, charged with energy from the Ethernere, are used as lighting.
Temple Necrovat
This vat was found hanging from the ceiling in the Laboratory of Mutation in the Temple of Veeshan, containing unknown fluids used in the dragons' necromantic experiments.
A Tiny Mischievious Castle
Found deep within the Temple of Veeshan, it is rumoured that this tiny castle is the entrance to Bristlebane's Plane of Mischief.
Vibrant Banner of Antonia
This banner depicts Queen Antonia Bayle of Qeynos, and was created for the annual Heroes' Festival celebration.
Zlandicar's Tortured Heart
Dorondal, a loremaster in Thurgadin, sent adventurers out to retrieve Jaled Dar's key, promising Zlandicar's Heart to whoever found it. Unknown to him, and to the monk Khrolan, who retrieved the key, the Awakened were also seeking the Heart. Khrolan was tracked to the Laboratory of Mutation inside the Temple of Veeshan, where his body was found, but he managed to hide the Heart before he died. His spirit was located in the Ethernere, but had lost its memories from the experience of his death. The adventurers found them among the Horde, and restored them to Khrolan, who revealed the hiding place of the Heart. Fighting their way through the aerakyn in the Forsaken City on the isle of Mara, they located the Heart, retrieving it before the Awakened could get it, although they could still scry on it, as it remained linked to the
undead Zlandicar. By venturing into the Temple of Veeshan, destroying the altar the aerakyn were using for scrying, feeding the Heart with true draconic essences, and slaying Zlandicar, the link between him and his Heart was finally broken.
Moonlit Mushroom Ring
A replica of the mushroom ring and portal that appears in various areas of Norrath once a month, taking those who enter to hidden grottos inhabited by nature spirits. Those who help them are rewarded with crystals, minerals, plants, and other natural items.

"Terrors of Thalumbra" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The Jaggedpine Forest, once a lush woodland, was turned into Zek, the Orcish Wastes, by the Deathfist orcs, stripping the land above of its trees, and digging mines below. The lands which remained untouched were guarded by the elven Green Hoods, who eventually assassinated Emperor Fyst in his Deathfist Citadel. Emperor Blacktusk next claimed the crown, and attacked the Green Hoods, almost wiping them out. But what came next was worse: two of the new gods of War, Tallon Zek, the god of Strategy, and Vallon Zek, the god of Tactics, raised up a new kind of orc as Sanctifier of War, to lead their orcish army from the Plane of War. These were the Scourge orcs, from the Fortress of Drunder.
This helmet was retrieved from Scourge Keep, the former Deathfist Citadel, from a chapel dedicated to Tallon Zek.

"Terrors of Thalumbra" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Many responded to the distress call of the undergolems and clockworks, perhaps threatened by Lanys T'Vyl and her Primordial Malice. Tinkered portal-gates were set up in Kelethin, Neriak, and Shin. Those who went through arrived in the region of Thalumbra, the Ever Deep, with the city of Maldura to the south, inhabited by deep dwarves and gnomes. Maldura was indeed the city who sent out the call for help, being under siege by Aberrants. Undead, immolated wights, had made it into the city, requiring several areas to be sealed off. Inside one of them, the Alcove of Reason, was a group called the the Dark Gears and their leader Black Bolt, who was somehow involved with the immolated. Both rulers of Maldura, gnemlin Grand Artificer Tobon Blingden and dhalgar Queen Alwenielle, ordered searches of the Stonebrunt Yards in
Thalumbra, which located several Primordial Malice cultists, showing a link between them and the Aberrant. But it was also learned that Queen Alwenielle permitted Black Bolt to create the immolated, as a last stand - or, rather, vengeance - against the Aberrant, as they were to only be released if nobody were left in Maldura. This was reported to Kelethin's Queen Amree, who suggested finding Queen Alwenielle's sister Lafenielle, who left her after a battle long ago. Refusing to lose another, the Queen ordered the immolated to be created. The search for Lafenielle led to the Luminous Peaks, home to the glaufaye and their village of Zou'Lidelas. A glaufaye named Lamari said that no dhalgar had ever resided in Zou'Lidelas, but there was a glaufaye named Lafenielle. Suspecting the Queen to either be under the influence of ancient magic, or not who she claimed to be, Lamari used an illusion trituration crystal to
reveal the Queen to be a glaufaye, and her guards as Primordial Malice cultists. Unmasked, the guards attacked. They were defeated, and while the Queen was unharmed, the Grand Artificer was killed.
The Queen, her memories restored with her true form, then told the story of how she ended up in Maldura. The glaufaye had been charged to be guardians of invaluable knowledge, knowledge that could bring justice to heavy sentences carried out in the name of Balance. Knowing that this knowledge could be lost if they were slain, she created a gem, the Chaos Rebirth Stone, that contained this knowledge and split it into three. One was placed in the Arcanna'se Spire, and she went into exile with the other two, taking the form of a dhalgar. She should have been released from the spell approximately every seven hundred years, but the duration was linked with the moons.
The destruction and reformation of Luclin affected it, giving the spell an even greater hold on her. The second shard of the stone was part of a jewelled screwdriver owned by the Grand Artificer - taken from him by the Primordial Malice when he was killed.
Meanwhile, Brytthel, one of the Queen's guard who had been injured and rescued by artisans sent by Captain Ethan from the village of Shin, and who was not replaced by the Primordial Malice, suggested that the glaufaye might know of a way to hide the stones. The glaufaye Elanluelle said that the glaufaye were servants of a goddess of magic, Zou Kunnen, who had been destroyed by Roehn Theer long ago, but before she was slain, gave the glaufaye immortality and placed them in a shard of her plane, which eventually ended up in the Luminous Peaks. Believing that a god is not truly dead until forgotten, they keep Zou
Kunnen's memory, and those of three other gods, Aniquilacion, Paixao, and Pingyuan Diqu, and placed the memories into the shards. The dhalgar once created metalwork that could enhance a stone's power, so the reverse should also be possible. Consulting the library in Maldura, the artisans drew up plans for a censer made from rare metal and imbued with the same magic as the stones, to hide what was inside. Shaped at the Forge of Brell in Maldura and imbued by the glaufaye magic of Zou Kunnen, the censer was made.
The Aberrant siege had been a diversion, to allow the Primordial Malice to enter the city to steal the shards of the Chaos Rebirth Stone. The Exceptional Screwdriver was recovered from Kralet Penumbra, a maze filled with Aberrants, but the shard had already been removed. Upon the adventurers' return, Queen Alwenielle was under attack by Tserrina Syl'Tor and
Primordial Malice cultists. While the Queen was saved, Tserrina stole the royal crown, giving Lanys possession of two of the three shards. The artisans arrived in the throne room with the newly-crafted censer, just moments late.
The third shard remained hidden in the Arcanna'se Spire.
Map of Old Tunaria
Tunaria was the elven name for the continent that Antonius Bayle later renamed Antonica. The elves lived in the Elddar Forest in the eastern part of Tunaria, before Solusek Ro forced them from their homes and they fled to Faydwer, and the Elddar Forest became the Desert of Ro. Moradhim was a dwarven mine just north of the Plains of Karana, and they had a trade route to Kaladim. The largest city on the route was Maldura.
Violet Fathomlurker Plushie
Fathomlurkers live in the caves of Thalumbra, rarely seen in open areas. They have poor eyesight, relying instead on echolocation, and fine bristles on the upper body can detect the slightest motion. In emergencies, the fathomlurker can expel inky smoke, allowing it to escape. The ten tentacles have bony claws on the ends which dig into prey, and powerful sinews make it very difficult for the prey to escape. Most are approximately the size of an ogre, but travellers have reported some which have grown to a much larger size. These reports are difficult to confirm, as few have volunteered to investigate and trap fathomlurkers for research.
Dhalgar Mining Pick
This mining pick is used by the dhalgar of Maldura. The golden colour is common in their tools, as well as in equipment made by both them and the gnemlin, including crafting stations.
Curved Lifeleaf Tree
Lifeleaf trees grow in the Luminous Peaks, home to the glaufaye, who live in Zou'Lidelas, their city among the trees.

"The Bloodline Chronicles" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Behind a waterfall in Nektulos Forest lay a new threat: vampires. Discovered by the Hand of Marr, an investigation into missing scouts initially uncovered grinnins, but the grinnin cavern was only the first room of a much larger cave system. The deeper caverns held innumerable vampires, led by Dryxl T'Rath, in search of bloodstone crystals. Once T'Rath was slain, however, it was revealed that the danger went far deeper. Further investigations into the caves and the discovery of the vampires' symbols showed several sects to be present. Adventurers using their amulets and a piece from their dark altar were able to disguise themselves as vampires and defeat another vampire leader, in the process discovering many techniques useful for fighting the undead creatures.
Bloodstone Shards
Found in the vampire caves in Nektulos Forest, it has been said that the bearer of such stones will be granted the strength of heroes lost. Beware, however, a remour is stirring through Freeport. It is being said that these lost adventurers were taken into the shadows and these stones represent their terror. To those who choose to carry the power in the stones comes a great curse. You don't believe in curses, right?

"The Shadow Odyssey" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Following the eruption of void storms all over Norrath, members of the Academy of Arcane Science and the Concordium were sent to investigate. Although the Aab'I Hayat failed to cure those afflicted with the recent blight, it did reverse the destructive void effects on tempest-affected creatures. Once reversed, voidbeasts appeared and escaped. Further investigation showed that the voidbeasts were using the tempests as portals into Norrath. Although tougher, the tempests were able to be defeated, depriving the voidbeasts of a way in.
Meanwhile, a mostly gnomish group of researchers, Dedicated Individuals Recovering Technology of Yesteryear, or D.I.R.T.Y., excavated an ancient airship in the Sinking Sands. Once restored, the airship took adventurers to the Moors of Ykesha,
the remains of the Rathe Mountains and Innothule Swamp, as well as the froglok city of Guk, now overrun by undead. A new city, Tupta, is home to a group of frogloks, and at the opposite end of the Moors, trolls still live in their city of Grobb. Members of both cities, despite the ancient enmities between the two races, have formed a group called the Survival Accord, to ally themselves against the Brokenskull pirates, Thullosian ogres, and Ykeshan trolls who also inhabit the Moors.
Also in the Moors were obelisks full of void energy, allowing the voidbeasts access to Norrath. Adventurers who entered the Void discovered the Staff of Theer, thought to be the key to stopping the void invasion. Formerly adorned with runes representing each of the Ethernauts, a group of adventurers who had stopped a previous invasion, the runes were recovered, and the
void anchors in the obelisks destroyed. Entering the Void to destroy the final anchor, the adventurers found the Ethernauts, who aided them in the battle against those behind the invasion: Anashti Sul, goddess of the Undead, and Valdoartus Varsoon the Undying, a mage who led an undead attack on Qeynos centuries ago, and burned to ashes after his defeat. With the strength of both groups, Anashti Sul and Varsoon were defeated, ending the new invasion.
An Encased Void Beast
This is one of the void beasts that invaded Norrath during the void storms.
DO NOT TOUCH.
Tuptan Vase
A traditional vase made by the Tuptan frogloks. The circular patterns are common to many of their furnishings.
Grobb Stone Basket
Many of the furnishings of the Grobb trolls are made from stone.
White Dragonscale Cloak
The White Dragonscale Cloak was originally made by the dwarven smith Karam Dragonforge in exchange for a platinum trio ring, marquise cut alexandrite, and a square-cut black sapphire necklace, for him to propose to his fiancee with. His grandson Rotheck Dragonforge, after being presented with a similar necklace for his girlfriend, revealed that another cloak had been made for Lenya Thex, a member of the Koada'Dal royal family. Brought to her in New Tunaria by Mayong Mistmoore, she told him it made her homesick, and she never wanted to see it again. The lich guarding it in Mayong's repository was slain, and the cloak retrieved.
Banner of the Unseen
This banner bears the symbol of the Circle of the Unseen Hand, a secretive organisation rumoured to have cells all over Norrath.
Lava Blossom Lava Crystal
Both of these items come from Lavastorm, sold, perhaps for a sort of garden, by a group of goblins calling themselves the Sootfoot Talent Society.
A Frosted Order of Rime Banner
The Order of Rime, led by the half-giant Kraytoc Killingfrost, landed an iceberg not far from Kurn's Tower. It was eventually discovered they sought a golden orb from the tower called the Coalescence of Life.
Spicebracket Fungus
Every month across Norrath, portals to hidden grottos open within mushroom circles. Those who aid the brownies, dryads, fauns, naiads, pixies, treespirits and zygomyds inside the grottos are rewarded with mushrooms, plants, crystals, and other items. This fungus was found in the brownie grotto.
Ornate Quellithulian Vase
The initial repair of the Ulteran spires allowed for travel only from Antonica or the Commonlands to the Overrealm and back. Wishing to restore the network, the Quellithulians enlisted the help of adventurers to repair the network. For their help in repairing damage done to the essence of the spires, defeating other-planar creatures disrupting the network, and reconnecting the torn ethereal threads linking the spires together, items of fine Quellithulian craftsmanship, such as this vase, were rewarded.
Basket of Rotting Pomegranates
Despite the return of the gods to Norrath, Erollisi Marr, goddess of Love, remained missing, rumoured to be dead. Wishing to prevent agents of Hate from corrupting the Shard of Love, the Sisterhood of Erollisi and priestess Annalisa Swornlove used a valorian bloom and Lady Shae's arrow to find the weakest point between the shard and Norrath, and opened a portal. Upon entering the remnant of the Plane of Love, they discovered that Erollisi was indeed dead, slain by Cazic-Thule, Innoruuk, Rallos Zek, and Bertoxxulous in an attack on her brother Mithaniel Marr's realm, the Plane of Valor. Although he attacked the newcomers in a trance of sorrow and self-pity, blaming himself for the death of his sister, the fight snapped him out of it, and he released his sister from the world of Norrath. The pomegranate has long been a symbol of love,
but with Erollisi's death, much of the Shard has become corrupted.
Veiled Bow of the Shard
The pieces of this statue were recovered from the Shard of Love and reassembled. Along with Love, Erollisi Marr is also the goddess of the Hunt, the bow being her favoured weapon.

"The Shadow Odyssey" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
A missing book of Bayle family lore, 'The House of the Claymore', led to the discovery of plots against the thrones of both Qeynos and Freeport. The book was taken to be translated from Old Qeynosian, containing information which could have put all of Qeynos in danger. The investigation led to Murrar Shar, one of the Queen's most trusted companions who had sent a letter to Princess Saphronia of Kelethin, which was not well-received, endangering the alliance between the two cities. Murrar Shar then slew the rest of the royal party on a hunting trip, but was defeated before he could kill the Queen. Only then was it revealed that it was not Shar's doing, but that of Kyle Antihilus Bayle, a long-dead member of the royal family who had possessed Shar. His intent was to steal the Qeynos Claymore and give it to some unknown Void being. Upon
reaching the chamber where the blade was kept, it was found to be missing, but numerous replicas, meant to deter thieves, were still there.
Replica: Soulfire
After the mysterious disappearance of Overlord Lucan D'Lere, Lucanic Knight Tallen Yevix used a gnomish devices called Tinmizer's Magnificent Messenger to contact the missing Overlord, who revealed that it was Tayil N'Velex, his closest companion, who betrayed him, opening a Void portal and holding him hostage in exchange for the sword Soulfire. Teleporting into Dethknell Citadel, Yevix took Soulfire for herself.
Shining Metallic Robe
Gabbin Bittlegrip's search for mechanical parts in the Moors led to information about an ancient gnome tinkerer, and the Shining Metallic Robe. Once the robe was in great demand by rogues, but now, trading a broken dagger to a trader in Maj'Dul resulted only in a broken pen. With nothing to go on but the name RILCOG on the pen, and knowing the pen was found in Antonica, investigating the wreckage where it was found opened a portal to a strange, alternate Qeynos under attack by clockworks, where the gnome enchantress who built the time portal was found. She needed the robe to repair the timeline. Rilgor Plegnog, the owner of the pen, had descendants in Qeynos, and Sarbith Plegnog, in exchange for the repaired pen, gave the robe, tarnished with centuries of wear. Returning back in time and
confronting Rilgor in Ak'Anon, none too pleased, a pristine robe was obtained. The robe was returned to the enchantress and the time portals, devices, and notes were destroyed to prevent further breaches of the timeline. Five hundred years later, this robe arrived in a package which had been stored for centuries.

"The Shattered Lands" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
From 3571 to 3661, severe geological disturbances occurred all over Norrath. Massive chasms and canyons opened suddenly, destroying entire cities such as Halas and Oggok. Some, such as Rivervale, survived, but in a corrupted state. Those who survived the Rending had to find new homes, bringing great change to Norrath. In 3711, Luclin, one of the two moons of Norrath, exploded. Some say Rallos Zek was responsible, others say Solusek Ro and the Dresolik crystal, and still others say it was the Sleeper, Kerafyrm. Regardless of the cause, pieces of the shattered moon rained down upon Norrath, tearing apart the continents, separating some lands and destroying others forever. The two cities of Qeynos and Freeport were rebuilt, but the fate of others - Felwithe, Gukta, Kaladim, Kelethin, Neriak, Paineel – remained
unknown. The Plains of Karana and the Commonlands, once separated by the Kithicor Forest and the fortress of Highkeep, were now separated by a vast ocean. During the upheaval, many artefacts were lost. In their quests to restore the Shattered Lands, adventurers rediscovered some and remade others, to aid in the rebuilding.
The Legendary Electrified Bone Bladed Claymore
Once found in Befallen, formerly the stronghold of the Order of Marr's Fist, the Bone Bladed Claymore was broken during the Shattering. Repaired with the energy of Redak, the troll warrior who found himself trapped in Befallen but rose to control the fortress, and Gynok Moltor, the first wielder of the sword who Redak defeated, and of a thousand sentient beings, the newly-reforged blade was then combined with a weapon which claimed to be Berik, a former Knight of Thunder who was dedicated to the eradication of undead. Calling itself Berik, Sword of Thunder, it was broken over the forge in Runnyeye to incorporate its power into the Claymore.
The Legendary Journeyman's Boots
Hasten Bootstrutter, the gnomish mapmaker and guidebook author, would give pairs of Journeyman's Boots to anyone who would bring him a shadowed rapier, held by shadowed men but which would quickly disappear once taken from them, the ancient ring worn by the Ancient Cyclops, an elusive beast which generated as many theories on how to make it appear as there were adventurers seeking it, and 3,250 gold pieces - gold only, not the equivalent in other coins. Catching up to Bootstrutter weighed down with all that coin was its own challenge! Bootstrutter's legacy is continued today by Cru Naseto and others, who have organised a contest to run the old bard mail routes. To those who can beat the allotted times, a pair of Journeyman's Boots is again the reward.
The Legendary Polished Granite Tomahawk
Used by the gnolls of Highpass Hold, the tomahawk was lost during the Shattering. It was found by a giant named Obsid, who presented this to an adventurer who saved his pet bear. Repaired with pristine granite from the Plains of Karana, now the Thundering Steppes, sharpened on the bones of the undead, and polished with ink from an Octagorgon, the magic of the tomahawk was restored.
Ancient Froglok Talisman
Following the loss of Gukta in the Shattering, a group of frogloks made their way to the city of Qeynos, where, although initially wary, they grew to trust those in their new home. Other frogloks had built the hidden village of Kugup in the Feerrott, and, after earning the trust of Chief Kaorf, those who found the village were granted a talisman as a symbol of that trust, showing the location of the village.

Not long after the discovery of the vampire threat in Nektulos Forest came news of another danger: cannibalistic gnolls underneath the Thundering Steppes. While initially hostile, it was found that it was possible to earn their trust, and adventurers who did so were granted spells and other items known only to the rigid caste-based Splitpaw gnolls. Many of them helped their new allies in defeating the Underpaw army, which was threatening to overrun the Splitpaw caverns.
A Mounted Dreadsnout Head
This head was taken from a dreadsnout ravager by the owner of this trophy after defeating the creature in gladiatorial combat in the depths of the Splitpaw caverns. Known for their ferocity dreadsnouts are a mighty foe indeed, widely feared throughout the Underfoot.

'Twas the night before Frostfell, and out on the ice
All the elves were preparing, with goblins (they're nice);
They hid the ingredients tied with a bow,
And scattered them 'round in the white winter snow;
The people of Norrath all slept in their beds,
And knew that tomorrow they'd have on their heads
Red and white caps, maybe blue, green, or pink,
Iced cookies to eat and cold eggnog to drink, -
The elves ran about to get everything right,
And they skated and slid 'cross the ice - what a sight!
The goblins were putting ex-trees into pails,
And made sure they wouldn't escape (they used nails).
Drinal shone down from above with its light
(For Norrathian holidays all start at night);
The gleam off the snow made it seem almost sunny
As they worked with such glee for their leader, Queen Bunny
They gathered the candy canes, boxes, and bags,
The snowballs in buckets, the wreaths, and the tags.
They loaded them up as their reindeer drew near
To take them and decorate - Frostfell is here!
To Freeport! To Haven! To Kelethin's trees!
To Neriak! Gorowyn, over the seas!
We fly into Qeynos, we fly to the dock,
We fly to the harbor and take down that clock!
Like griffons who take brave adventuring bands
Aloft in their quests through Norrathian lands
The elves and the fae and the goblins and fauns
Soared on through the night before Kinship Day[1] dawns
-------------------------------------------------------------- [1] The first of the days of Frostfell, followed by Feasting Day, Gifting Day, and Frostfell
They startled no innkeep nor blacksmith nor guard
In Nettleville, Temple Street, Commune, or Yard,
Who stood all in wonder while watching the work
The elves even let Nathan Ironforge lurk.
-------------------------------------------------------------- Day
They wore fuzzy hats that would keep them quite warm
As they rushed all around like a void-fueled storm,
Unloaded the goodies they had in their packs,
The ribbons and stockings and candles and snacks!
They smiled throughout all their labours so cheery
And onlookers said not a one was e'er weary
Some had donned vests made from rare nimbus roots,
And others wore bracers and greaves with their boots.
Red peppermints flew 'round their heads in a whirl,
Their eyes twinkled just like a ruby or pearl.
And one of them had too much pie in his belly
Which wubbaed[2] around like a cube made of jelly.
-------------------------------------------------------------- [2] Wubbaing is the way a gelatinous cube moves.
The people about couldn't help but to grin
Upon seeing the Frostfell elves dance, jump, and spin
And nobody minded, not Bayle nor D'Lere
That soon random snowballs would travel the air.
The trees were soon up and the lights all aglow
In the cities of Norrath above and below
Glad music and candy canes filled every street,
And so the elves waited for sunrise to greet
The holiday revelers who would awake
And ask them for gifts and for presents to shake;
But seek the right elves, or her[3] answer is keen:
I'm not a Frostfell elf; I'm not their queen!
-------------------------------------------------------------- [3] You know who.

10 Reasons why Lera is indeed a Frostfell elf. by Kardell This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Whether from dark, or high, or wood, Be welcomed to our Brotherhood. You'll find no pretty life of ease Or cute things here among the trees. Rely upon your human side; No one cares for elvish pride. Of us you would not have a need, But now we have a foe indeed: Here Captain Rommuls was assigned, Who wants this place without our kind. The Militia are not whom we fight They hate him, but they serve in fright Take this report within the gates. Now go. The Brotherhood awaits. You wish to help? We hear that much. But most wish torment, pain, and such. We only cut injustice short, Which walks the streets of Beggar's Court. Rommuls' power kills and harms, But few in Freeport raise alarms. Though they don't care, we will stay strong - What's happened? Tell me! What's gone
wrong? Jalya's dead, and Thaen is bound, And Revlos, sir, has gone around To Rommuls' side, although his wife By Rommuls' scheming lost her life. The traitor's cohorts soon will meet. Will you take them their defeat? We're undermanned, our newest friend: Will you be with us to the end? Buy Loamshallow's whispered fate Then hide yourself behind the gate Find out where they'll debrief their man Then poisoned cups will stop their plan. They say they'll meet him near the inn Where promised prize he thinks he'll win Instead they plan a painless death But they'll both draw their final breath. Now that our foes have suffered loss, The time has come to take their boss. The guards, by Lucan's own command Have been relieved of contraband. It's here now, in a wooden crate,
And it will be the perfect bait. We've marked some barrels full of scrap - Components for our final trap. Once the parts have been retrieved, Rommuls soon will be relieved Of his command, and of his post Of this the Brotherhood can boast. The bomb is set. The pieces fly. He runs into our men nearby. Quickly captured, led away, He's out before the end of day. The Overlord declares him weak (Not that he himself did speak) Some office that was in the know Prepared the statement long ago. One last thing - Thaen must be freed Head to his room with quickest speed. The guards are two of Rommuls' men No challenge. Thaen's soon free again. You've been key to the Brotherhood, Both human, and dark, high, or wood. Our goals and his both match up well
To Sunken City take the bell. With Thorson you should soon go speak. In everything a balance seek.

Do you seek work or tips from me? Here's some information, free. Take no flak from lesser slop. You're human, so you're at the top Except the Overlord, you know Without him, Freeport long ago Would have crumbled all away And he hates traitors. Don't betray. Enough of that. Let's get to work. And being human, you won't shirk Unlike that coward rat. Where's he? Why did I let him work for me? Anyway - the secret stash: It could be jewellery, could be cash. The owner? He's no longer found. You're new here. If you're seen around They'll think you're lost. Ain't it delicious? 'Cause if it's me, they'd get suspicious. And if to keep it's your belief, I'd just report you as a thief. Good work. Well done. Let's sort this junk. So this is why that fellow's sunk.
Everyone here knows the lore Of Lucan's triumph in the war, His victory, single-handedly. This note, though, very candidly Claims otherwise. This shady thug, Go and squash him like a bug. Protect our valiant Overlord Retrieve these lies for your reward. You've found the thug and made him dead This confirms the note we read. These papers threaten Lucan's might I'll keep them here, where out of sight I'll study them so we might know The ways of this disloyal foe. And then the guard can have them burned. Time for another lesson learned: The Court's the blackest market 'round Where anything you might have found Can be brought here, and for a price Will go away. It's very nice. Do some legwork now for me A package needs delivery.
Sell this box to Durio I'll cut your share if you're too slow. He was found beneath the stair And asked to see these goods so rare Inside the package, a surprise: The papers filled with treach'rous lies. Of course Alucius didn't come He's shady, but he isn't dumb. He mentioned his ratonga fence? The Militia came - not seen him since. Alucius has you in a fix Can't turn him in - you're in the mix. I know where you ought to go: Take these to Captain Kaseo. He has a fairly open mind, But, to be safe, don't share this bind. While you go find him by the gate, I'll ponder our Alucius' fate. Sir? I found a troubling note That some disloyal scoundrel wrote. Are you a fool to waste my time? But no - you're quick to share this crime.
Don't make me deal with trifles small. It isn't, sir - it's not at all. The scoundrel, sir, he tried to sell This note to me, before he fell. He tarnished Lucan's mighty name. I slew him. May he rot in shame. Well done, most loyal citizen. Your tale will show what happens when The people have some civic pride - And when our Overlord's defied. Has it been done? What did he say? Alucius might be scared away. You, they've no reason to suspect And those who help them, they protect. Alucius tried to stir some strife He'll now fear for his very life. You're back, but lacking goods or coin: So now there's someone you will join. Might that be your ratonga friend? You heard of him? You'll meet his end! But if you carry out that threat, Militiamen will be upset.
They were quite pleased to get your note And now they'll help me stay afloat. Quite clever, friend - I'll give you that I should have kept that lesser rat. But humans, being at the top - I'll have to let this matter drop. Back once more beside the stair Durio then told me where I'd find his friend, a better guide Than he whose scheme I just denied. To Thorson, with the Dismal Rage: My next step onto Freeport's stage.

You've picked a time that's rather bad For Captain Sorio is mad. The guards are here, was the alert, But they still saw the shards and dirt. We praise Rallos when we fight But Zek's a threat to Lucan's might And Sorio, the little punk, Told me to clean up the junk. And since we're under Lucan's thumb, To disobey would just be dumb. I'll make it worth your while if you Do this task that I must do. The gate is clean. The junk is gone. But this is no use for our brawn. All non-humans they push hard - 'Cept those in the army and the guard. They would not allow us here If in their ranks we'd not appear. Do what they say, seem to agree, They won't suspect your treachery. The Green Mist came, and brought us down, But one day we will take this town.
But Rallos still awaits our praise, No fight this time, but other ways. Go barsh some rats and bring them back I'll get the rest. Go smash and hack. Here they are. There's not much left. Lucan's soul! You've got some heft! You've flattened these that squeak and crawl, Made these ratonga very small. Ratonga? Ha! That's what we need, But these will do. We can proceed. This ritual of fume and fire, More sacrifices he'll admire. From Zukogg, Barch, and Crattok seek Flesh from those among the weak, Some blood that's from our enemies, And last, some incense, to appease. Zukogg, you can sell me skins? I gots many in the bins For armour, or a bed or tent. For Rallos' glory these are meant. Keep it down! The flesh you seek Will symbolise those who are weak.
When we rise, when it's completed, It is their fate to be defeated. But Rallos Zek deserves his flesh Not from my stock. It isn't fresh. See tailor Darby, with all speed, His hunters bring him what you need. Barch strong hunter! How 'bout you? I love to barsh! These skins will do. For Rallos Zek I need some blood. It honours him, with every flood. I need blood from an enemy. For fire and fume you come to me. There are prisoners, and one's an elf, They put his things up on the shelf. Go retrieve an elven vase, And I'll find blood that's from their race. I've brought the vase you told to me. The writing's swirly. There's a tree. That sounds elvish. I will fill It with the blood you'll need to spill. You look new, who now appears: You want elf skull? With yummy ears?
No, Crattok, I need incense here. Cense what? Since now. Stops that: be clear. Some smelly powder. It has smoke. Oh, I have that. But you look broke. It costs one silver. Which I lack. I'll talk to Kroota. I'll come back. You have it all? No, she wants coin. We need the incense. It will join With destruction's stench of death Carried to him, on its breath. Trolls' sense of value, though, is skewed: What they prize is mostly food. I knew these rats would have a use. She'll trade the powder for their juice. You have four silver? I have more: Ten yummy rats. Deal! Food galore! You have the things. Now let us start. And I want you to have a part. You won't be there? No, I can't go. They're watching me, and must not know. Go see Somdoq, to the west. What brings you here? Kroota's request.
Good. Then let the tribute start. Burn incense, rip the flesh apart. Smear the blood onto your face, Smash to bits the elven vase. Born in conflict, there we thrive To smash the weak in war we strive. We fight our battles in your name, Strife and conquest we proclaim. Broken bones, torn flesh is slain, Their ashes rise up to your plane. Until that feast when time will end, Warlord, father, these we send. You did this not for a reward, But Rallos Zek will use your sword. Take these. They'll help bring victory, But as for being here with me, Go see Kurdek, in the Sprawl. Help him. They won't suspect at all Our secrets, or the death we bring, For Rallos Zek your sword will sting.

Much tastiness I need for stew, No shrub of goodness, me eat you. You have it! It need goodness smashed. We good at eating what we bash. But they say me can't eat the gnomes, Graktak misses swampy homes. An old mean troll made Graktak go And not smash frogs - ha, ha, they're slow.

And last, what Graktak like the best? The swamp. You good! You pass my test! Go talk to Braz. Braz help in here. Or Kurdek's work give sword or spear. His work is hard, but do not eat. You eat him, you the trolls will beat. Thanks for your help. I hope you find More tasty things to smash and grind.

You seem confused, but I sense hate, Flowing, wild, but could be great. We'll temper you to his dark will, A creature of his vengeance still. I'm not confused. You bother me. I'm busy, so just let me be. Don't speak to me with tongue so keen, Though to the rest we may be queen, Equal respect here, elf to elf. Don't bring dishonour to yourself. First you must know your way around This Freeport home where we're now found. You mean this slum? We must make do. We're vigilant, and patient, too. Several places you must stop: The gates, the bank, the vendors' shop, The Knowledge Portal, now destroyed, The grates above the hidden voids. You need familiarity. Go find these and return to me. Good. You made your passage back. This place, it twists like Neriak.
The high elves sealed our home away, But we will have revenge someday. We always strike with subtlety: This lesson you'll next learn from me. Teah - who's a common thief - Just stuffs himself beyond belief. If we all know, the time is right. Today we shall remove this blight. The fungus known as Shadow's Kiss, Collect it and we shall not miss. Ahh, good. It soon will be distilled And then our plan can be fulfilled. Our magic and our alchemy Our father gave to you and me. We are quite fortunate, indeed. It's done. Kalraath has what we need: A medium that one can eat, Say it's for me, but be discreet. Aldera needs a medium. She sends you for this tedium? What type, and what's it needed for? Lots of things are in my store.
Ingestible. You know she pays. She's teaching me our ancient ways. Take it. I've no time to pry. An answer from you as to why. Good. You're back. I need not ask If you told what this will mask. The truth - you teach our proper arts. That answer's true, and shows your smarts. And now it's mixed within this dough, To Lynsia it soon will go. He often steals things from her shop, Tonight he'll steal, and then he'll stop. But first I ask - I must be sure - Who is it that receives our cure? Teah. Why? He's brought great shame To us and to the Teir'Dal name. Good. I'm glad that you agree. Now, finally, where? The food booth. Free. Correct. If someone else might eat, Collecting you'd have to repeat. A true Teir'Dal thinks of the cost, If only now, the future's lost.
One other thing I'll share with you: Our people's loyalties are two. Some stay in Freeport, though it's bleak, The Thexians, though, say that's weak. They will not live within this shack: They strive to find our Neriak. What's wrong with that? We want our home. We do, but there's no need to roam. Gain strength and knowledge, day by day, Instead, they throw their lives away. But enough. Now take this loaf, And place it for the greedy oaf. He'll find it soon, and then he'll learn His unbecoming ways to spurn. Good, good. The plan that we have hatched Has led to Teah's quick dispatch. But learning other strengths awaits Out in the Graveyard, near the gates. Go see Custodian Zaddar, You'll gain respect, and will go far.

Stay out of trouble, with your wits, Or be prepared to take some hits. Good, I'm looking for a fight! Point me where I'll show my might. Ha! That's what they always say! I've just the thing for you to slay. Some hood wasps here cause great distress: They're poisonous, an awful mess. Get rid of them, destroy their hive, You'll establish that you can survive. The hive is squashed, the wasps are dead. You've shown your strength. That being said, We've one more thing to help us rise. Fear! So give your best war cries! Although I love to show my brawn, Bloodshed's sometimes frowned upon. Ginmarr Grimgut, says the tale, Caused so much panic with his wail,
Although in stature he was small, He chased his foes and killed them all. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ... I gotcha! Let 'er rip! Ahhhhhh! What is that little yip? AHHHHHHHH! That's better AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It would make a mess! Ha! At last, I can impress! Well done, young cub! I heard that here! I'm sure that you'll soon master fear. But though you may be tough as nails, Be careful near the ones with scales. The iksar are a shifty lot, Always in some scheme or plot, They've gained some power in the Yard, A few might be in Lucan's guard. That might be false, it might be true, Right now it's talk. I have my crew Assembled, ready to go fight. A thousand orcs we'll slay tonight. The captain, Issik, plans the raids, Go tell him he can have our blades.
Speak, or die. Choose which you like. Your orders for the chief to strike Our enemies, his men await. Well, good for him. Too bad he's late. Others are on this endeavour. He's for later. Maybe never. You'll notice I don't speak to you. Just move your feet. That you can do. Your insolence I won't forget. We'll meet again. We're not through yet. When do we go? Soon blood will spill! He sent others for this kill. That two-faced gecko said we're next! He's gonna pay. He's made me vexed. I ought to go and - Stomp some tail? Not with his rank. The Militia, they'll Send more officials snooping 'round. Instead, his furniture we'll pound. He's broken a Halasian's trust. His office desk and chair are dust, His weapon rack I've gone and smashed. I've heard that Issik's home was trashed.
It's like a comet made of ice - You didn't hear. I'll say it twice: I've heard of this. It wasn't clean. It appears that you were seen By agents of the Overlord. They're still nearby. Go use your sword. Won't the guards come to their aid? They're only here as a blockade For Freeport. If the riff-raff's out, What's in here they don't care about. They're slain. They won't have a report. Good. Our plans they will not thwart. What plans are those? Since you've helped me, I'll tell you what this place will see. We'll place our agents, they will rise, The Militia will be filled with spies, First we control, and then we'll act, He'll have no help when he's attacked. The Overlord? He wasn't voted. Here, by force you are promoted. For now, we'll follow in our places,
But then expel non-human races, And when we've reached at what we've aimed, Our New Halas we'll have claimed.

Something wicked comes this way: Who's this new broodling here today? I'd love to share with you a tale, But other matters now prevail. I'll help. What would you have me do? Just blackmail. Some extortion, too. Sounds interesting! Yes, does it not? So who's the target of our plot? I cannot tolerate this snub: Melvin Drunford, at the pub, Stole a shipment meant for me, Components from my alchemy. I went to him; he wouldn't tell, But I can see, and I can smell. So show to him our little game: This puppy collar, and its name. If this theft does not soon end, Poor Wittens will meet my trollish friend. Melvin Drunford? Leave me be! My mates are watching - can't hurt me! Brood Matron Vrim says one more chance. They've got my back! Here, take a glance -
He was a gift from my late wife! I'll tell you where! Just spare his life! Your... co-operation I will note. I found your box, right where he wrote. Oh, you are too good to me! You have bold intrepidity. You can scare, but can you, though, Bend the wills of those below? Large, squishy things are in this place: It was decreed we share this space. Suggestible and prone to act Is what they are, so let's extract A bit of fun that we could use. I recently have heard the news Captain Issik's room was trashed, And a barbarian had dashed Away from there. So find a brute Named Tristan, and then say his route Was seen by Wesley Tundrafoot, Who Tristan, you will say, can put Him at the scene. Enjoy the fight, The chaos that we can incite.
Tristan? Yes? What can I do? No, I've a thing to offer you. The name of who just got you framed For Issik's office. You've been blamed. I didn't do a thing with that! That's not what Wesley says. The rat! He probably did it, that I bet. To think of this he'll soon regret! May I suggest a club or hammer? I know you'll deal well with his clamour. Wesley? Is it time to fight? You won't be slaying things tonight. The Militia think that you're to blame For Issik's office. What's the name Of the one who said this thing? Tell me, lizard. Tell me! Sing! It's possible that it's not true, But I hear Tristan told on you. That under-handed - this is how He pays me back - back-stabbing cow! I'll pummel him! His blood will spray! I'll take my leave now, sir. Good day.
Splendid work! They took the bait. Your silver tongue will make us great. We've been enslaved, we've been the master, Our cities rise, meet with disaster, Despite our struggles, we still last, By paying homage to the past: The Faceless One placed us in Kunark's lands, We were enslaved, and by the Shissar cursed. The sacred Green Mist brought us from their hands We, unaffected, watched our captors burst: We descrate all things they once had made. Then Venril Sathir rose, and we were one, And Sebilis was built - for so he bade. But Trakanon destroyed what he had done. We burn their bones, with honour, in a pile The Rending came, and smashed an iksar ship: Survivors took their refuge on an isle. They battled, but were bound in Lucan's grip. We fought Rallosians with him to be free: Cast his oppressive tools into the sea!
A ritual lets us connect With our forebears, and reflect. This was a thing for me to do, But it's more benefit to you. Go to my room, just up the stair. You'll find the things you'll need in there. First I smash the Shissar vase, Then slay the asp it did encase, The iksar skulls are set afire, A spirit comes forth from the pyre. Then shackles thrown into the sea: It's finished. What is gained? Tell me. We've suffered, but we've prospered, too. What's been destroyed, we will renew. Learn more at the Academy, But there is one more task from me. Issik's busy, since the crime, For other duties, there's no time. One of his men is such a waste Let's skip the forms: get him replaced. I don't care how, but do it soon, With sword, or bow, or bolt, or spoon.
To guard some corner in this slum Just makes no sense. This is so dumb! Anthony? What? Who are you? That's not important. You are through. No one fires me but me! Not that I would. So Bwah! to thee! Cease your banter! Draw your blade! Retirement is not delayed. How did it go? He's dead, Vrim. Good. But I'm surprised that no one would Care about what happened here. They know what's best, and this was clear. One would act if you did not More iksar come. I must allot My time to them so they don't fall. You go to Kurdek, in the Sprawl. Gain riches; may your foes be cowed. Strike-tail, young one. You do us proud!

All my theories are amazing! If just one is right, they'll be praising Me throughout all history. If none are right? Well, then I'll be Known for thinking up the most Amazing theories which are toast! So would you like to hang around? My new invention will astound! Right now, it doesn't have a name, But things will never be the same! It transfers objects, instantly. The last one worked, but didn't. See, I felt the surge the power adds, I saw myself on both the pads. When I awoke, the thing was gone! I must, for science, carry on. A few more times it needs to fail, Before perfection will prevail! Will you help me to succeed? Old powder kegs are what I need. The stuff is cheap, and left around. They won't be missed if they are found.
Good! The main control we'll load... Wow! I knew it would explode! You knew? Yes, it was made from scrap. We need a better blasting cap. The hyper-organic suppressor's crate Is C68F, near the gate. Twergo sells a dongle-sweep Particle buoy that isn't cheap. And lastly, to complete the haul, An arcanic tracer from Qwergo's stall. Wonderful! It's good as new! We'll try again. Test number two! Tell Frondo that I need a pig: I sense we're on to something big. Frondo? I had a pig that knew The meaning of life. I swear it's true. Though to me it made no sense, The differences are quite immense From pig to gnome - which I'd forget. Or I just wasn't ready yet. Neezer Grund has sent me here. My pigs are still too small, I fear.
It's not to eat - a test today. Last time was bacon, anyway. Here you go. Into the cage! We're ready for the final stage! I'll start the process, turn this cog... WOW! It's perfect! I'm agog! It didn't move. I think it failed. No. not at all! For I've unveiled A whole new military way: Mutated pigs! I know they'll pay! Go find some buyers: Malyk, yonder, Darsus, and Malvik. I must ponder. If figures aren't exact, that's fine. I'll know what's meant. Now sell my swine! Neezer Grund? What's he to show? Aggressive pigs? How tough? Don't know. Tusks and fire from its back? I see, but data you still lack About what this device will do To gnomes - and to ratonga, too. I'm interested. But I need more Results. Come back, but not before.
Speak quickly. I don't have all day. Neezer Grund? What's he to say? His new device would not transport, At that it fell a little short. The pig mutated. Hmm. I see. Tell Grund I'll pay the standard fee. With more results, the price will slide, Four-fifty percent I would provide. The processes within my mind You're interrupting. I'm behind. Grund? You have some news for me? He supplies our R&D. His work moves objects here to there, And his device is very rare. It moves these objects instantly. Alright, the standard fifth rank fee. The subject that was placed within - Was terminated? Fourth rank, then. The pig mutated, snout to flank, It grew some tusks. Wow! Seventh rank. You sure? It's dangerous, with fire. All right, rank eight. We can't go higher.
I brought your bid. The pig has fled! It found ratonga! Now they're dead! I'll be ruined, or in jail, Or executed, without fail. Find him! Capture him, at least. No, you can't catch this wild beast. He must be killed. But pigs don't lack Their share of smarts. He might go back To his owner, or stomping ground. Frondo might know where he'll be found. Go to Frondo, pick his mind, But careful! If you die, I'm fined! You need more pigs? What's Neezer learned? The old pig's what he needs returned. Why? What's happened? Won't you say? He escaped. He ran away. Hah-hah, Jimbly! Way to go! He's dangerous! Ol' Jimbly? No. The old one's not. The new one is. Neezer and these schemes of his. Why come to me? We thought you'd know Any place where he might go.
He hasn't come back here today, But Jimbly always liked to play On the stairwell, just nearby, I'm gonna miss that little guy. Jimbly tries a fiery snort, Very quickly I retort. Did you stop it? Yes, it's dead. Great! Disaster will not spread. You've been a help. You saved my life. This project's caused a lot of strife. It might seem quite heretical, But I think theoretical Is how my work will have to be. At least for now. At least, mostly. It won't be powered for some time, So I won't need your help. But I'm Sending you to one in need. To Inquisitor Thorson now proceed. We'll see each other once again, Unless you die. Well, he'll explain. There's much to do. Your purpose here? Neezer told you I'd appear.
Ah, yes. Great promise you afford, An asset to the Overlord.

When I saw you standing near, I knew you would approach me here. I merely read you, nothing more, That's what people pay me for. I have offers, one or two, Tasks that you might want to do. There's one outside who you could meet, Or I have work in Temple Street. I think I'll stay in here for now. There's a mistake I can't allow. An item, recently, was shipped And neither party has been tipped Off about its power yet, But I knew, and I was set To intercept it, but I was late. A week went by. There was no crate. Delivered? Someone got there first. My treasure's theft must be reversed. The Forest Spider's what it's called. We - ratonga - had it hauled From the earth where it did lie - And its owners tend to die.
It's not malevolent, or cursed, But if the owner's weak, the worst Of them it leads to doom: But in the right hands, it will bloom. Crate B8CF - find some clues At the scene, and bring back news. Claw marks, broken wood, and hair - Another ratonga's who was there. I think I know who it might be, But go see Neezer. Pay his fee. We might know, by the dust that's found, A long-time resident's around. If he's sick, we'll learn some more. I bet I've met him once before. I love to test! What do you need? I need to find where dust will lead. How long he's been here, and if these Show any hints of a disease. I'll do your tests, but they're not cheap. Not just the coin, but you must reap From piles of trash, filth gobbler glands - Don't get their acid on your hands.
When you get back with what I'll use, I'll be done. You'll have your clues. Perfect! So, what did you find? He's been in Freeport for some time, But there's no illness in this grime. Thank you, Neezer, that will do. No sign of sickness? Still a clue. Here's some coin so you're well-fed: To keep you with me up ahead. Another source for us to scout Is Malyk. Find him, ask about The spider, for if he can tell, That means someone wants to sell. How may I help? I want to buy. Many things I can supply, What is it that you'd like to own? A small, green spider, made of stone. Hmm... why would this interest me? I want it back. I see, I see. How long ago did someone sneak Away with it? About a week. No one's sold to me since then,
At night they come within my den. But people say there lurks a beast, And so my business has decreased. There's also been an awful flu. But I'll survive. I always do. A flu, and no one in a week? Then the doctor we must seek. Jubil Frankobi isn't far, Ask her what the symptoms are. If they're flu-like, was there one In whom no fever had begun? This flu has given me much pause: I cannot find a cure or cause. Contagious, febrile, and acute, But I think 'flu' does not compute. There was one, he had no fever, That's why I'm not yet a believer. Anomaly, or not the flu? Was he the first? Yes, that is true. His file, then, I need to see. No! Patients would not come to me If I just hand out every note,
Retaining them keeps me afloat! I just heard a ratonga squeak! I think he's hurt! You should go peek! I'll save him! (And my coin will grow.) Ha! It worked! And in I go! Sparzit says his brain is sore, Angignioitus, nothing more. To treatment he will not adhere: No tinkering - at least a year. Neezer feels he isn't whole. It's wreaking havoc on his soul. He feels split, so he did mention, Since he tried out his invention. He thinks he acts within his sleep: So a placebo that's not cheap. Iarog - his nose is stuffed. He couldn't pay, so off he huffed. Back in a week, he had sore bones Still no money, lots of moans. Now his symptoms are not rare, But fever's one he doesn't share. He could have brought an illness in,
That's just a theory. Kind of thin. Iarog - I should have known. I can't be seen, so act alone. His room is southwest of the gate, But careful if he's in a state. You try to takes it... go away! No, Iarog, you end today. On the Spider, quite compact, 'My poison's slow, but it will act Until my power is unlocked.' You got it? No. And I was shocked He didn't have it. Any clues? Nothing there that we can use. With all their plans, these thieves must know The power that it can bestow. You must stop them, at the forge. What is there? Will it disgorge The Spider's power? Or some sign? That information's only mine. Stop them there, and then bring back The Forest Spider which we lack. Holding it near has no effect,
Something else should now be checked - Placed in the glowing coals so deep, Then tongs... Unlocked! But it's asleep! Did you find them? Who was there? No one. All this work! Despair! By now, they're probably far away. When it unlocks, who knows where they Might be. Much work? I did the most. That's slightly true, but you can't boast. You'd not have known, if not for me, Where to go or who to see. Instrumental was my part In failure, but I can restart. We've wasted time. You should leave. But your help I did receive. Go to Thorson. Take the bell. And for the favour, he will tell The other task I spoke about. My mood is bad, so now get out. Fedul sent me here to you. Yes, I've heard what you can do. More undead activity
Is why the Dismal Rage sent me. It's dangerous, with deadly stakes - Within its bag, the stone awakes.

So, it seems we finally meet. I've seen your talent. Quite elite. A job's not really what I need. No, much more for you, indeed, A waste for you to sweep the floor - That's what we have the kerra for. They're pets. We've no need for their kind. The not-a-job, then, on your mind? We have a little... group in here. No details - who you are's not clear. But with a story I will start: When the world was torn apart, Not many cities were maintained. Those of us who still remained Came to Freeport, but were feared, A threat to Lucan we appeared. The 'qualified' who passed his test Stayed in the city. Here, the rest. But he didn't just reduce Our numbers - there's one more abuse: The kerrans, and they always stray. We need to keep those beasts away
From the experiments we do So this is what need from you: Collect some herbs. Their seeds will drop. The scribe can grind them at his shop. I found the seeds, and crushed the pod. Take this to Sevri Il'Bethod. This comes from Vess? So you're the one Who's helping with what we've begun. Vess has outstanding qualities, But eyesight isn't one of these. To see what's needed for a spell Is something he can't do so well. He didn't say. No, he would not. Such weaknesses would harm our plot. These things must tightly stay inside The Abbatoir, since our divide. We are a secret brotherhood. We'll keep it secret. Understood? With silver tweezers, get some fur Directly from the ones who purr. I got the fur, and some to spare. Achoo! This hair is everywhere!
So you're allergic, I suppose? No! It drifted up my nose. For if I were, it would be hard To live here, with what they discard. I'll add this in. Return to Vess. Our situation he'll address. You've helped a lot. We've reached new heights, But we're... deficient with our rites. Since the Divergence, our technique Has been improved, but parts are weak. What's the Divergence? When it came, The world was rent, and changed our frame. We do not speak of why today, But our appearance was not grey. We had no runes, much darker skin, And Odus's knowledge lost within. But where we're weak, we sense you're strong, Our ritual cannot go wrong. Once warded, then the kerra can't Disturb our work. Now learn the chant. Kah Shee-jah Ver-ata Nik-su
Gej-raz. Now go, and speak it true. Get Sevri's mixture for the spell, I've marked the place. Good luck. Be well. Here's the mix. I was not sure You could assist, but you endure. With the progress that you've made, We will succeed. We won't be stayed. Kah! Shee-jah! I heard you shout The barrier will keep them out. Our trust is paid. You do impress. I'm pleased we've had this great success. Zaddar waits in the Graveyard's shade, Take this reward, then lend him aid.

We must speak, but, friend, stay near, So that those... things don't overhear. They killed Kejaan, who brought us peace, They torment us, and never cease. Do you not feel the hate between Their kind and ours? It's almost seen. Defiling Odus, all we held Sacred - then we were expelled! For justice our ancestors cry. Collect the offerings nearby. You'll find our rituals worthwhile. Stones from Odus, Kerra Isle, And Luclin guard the Byway's gates, There the sacred dust awaits. You found the dust? I did. Good, good! But I only wish we could Perform our rituals, with them Not mocking us. Next you must swim In cleansing water, where you'll pray Kejaan his blessing to convey. Across the sea our home did lie, On land, the wind then makes us dry.
Our mother's wind, our father's stone, Nashii will make these things your own. Their presence is disturbing me - My advice is let them be. Their fate they'll reach, their plans unfold, Hear their ascension's tale, of old. No longer did their paths conflict, Disciple and the Heretic, In Stonebrunt was their citadel, But we knew all wasn't well. Their temples were to peace and fear, But we dug deep. More would appear. Not only temples was this place: They built an arcane power base. On Kerra Isle they would wait, Leaving Odus to its fate. Then in a week, a mighty sound Echoed, faded, then around The continent, a cloud of mist. We thought no life would still exist. But we were wrong, for soon there came The Erudites, with altered frame.
But if they're asked, they will not show: The Erudites think we don't know. To keep this secret's for the best. Return, and take Batarra's test. The base, the flight, the noise, the cloud, You know these things. This makes me proud. But knowing history's not enough, Living at their side is tough. They call us simple, twist our trust, We're peaceful, so they think we must Be stupid. But don't be the fool. Go to The Hole, and find a stool. It's by the fountain, not too far. Miala is behind the bar. Batarra said... Hush! Beware! They have spies most everywhere. Killing us is what they've planned. Speak with Melai. He knows first-hand. Did they send you? They're watching me! I'm no exhibit. Let me be! Miala said you might know more About the plans they have in store.
Miala? Then I'll speak to you. The room I had - my brother, too - Was full of rats, and not maintained, My brother finally complained To the landlord - one of THEM. His response was very grim. Some Erudites appeared one night. They slit his throat, and bound me tight, Cats, they said, should all be drowned, But they ran off when we were found. Then the guard said I'm to blame, I would not harm my kin. The shame! No one who hears this tale believes Kerra would lose to Erudite thieves. There should be vengeance! Yes, there should, I am watched. But Thindel could. Welcome! Bows or arrows, friend? I've other business to attend: Melai said I should speak to you. And what you think that we should do. They thought his family had heard About their schemes, so they transferred
His business to the Freeport gate, Their prying eyes on every crate. They call us beasts, but they're far worse. Their schemes and plots we'll soon disperse. The room they meet's where they attacked. Hide by the wall. You won't be tracked. I will go, and I will hear. Stonestair Byway will be clear Of all these pests. They'll be declawed. You're right, Batarra. I applaud Your courage to go learn their plans. We should act. But there are bans On open fighting. So, then we Should take down one, and secretly. We'll slowly whittle down their ranks. Yes, that's the plan! You have my thanks. Someone's listening, drawing near... He'll pay. He must not interfere. From the shadows one's emerged, But this threat is quickly purged. I see the fire in your eyes. How went the battle? A surprise.
If every kerra kills just one, Then soon our battle will be done. Last time we had tried to flee, And overwhelmed we seemed to be. With ones like you, we'll be secure, Our future's bright. We will endure. Still, more secrets we must learn. Zaddar is where you next should turn. Though one of them, endure the pain. It's worth the knowledge you'll obtain.

3. Here's a task that can't be beat: Harvest every fish and meat, Find each food and mine each ore, (It's cheating if they're from the store) Then you'll need to chop some wood, But not for Hwal, though boots are good. Then a pelt, the gems, and root, Maybe there's a neat rock suit? While Antonica you roam, Don't forget about the loam. You don't need anything that's rare: We'll save that for the evil fair. Then bring them back so I can go Return and give these things to Qho!

1. From the sea they fished us out, Adventurers, then mage or scout, Or fighter, or not in the least, Some became a healing priest. We, now back upon dry land, Chose the Queen or Lucan's band, Having learned to swing a sword, Cast a spell, and craft a board, We fought some goblins with the guards, Not yet crusaders, shamans, bards, Put undead back in the grave, And evil scheming in a cave. Explored dark woods and undersea, Found the gnome his whatsits three, (Later giant hawk or ooze, Merchants selling special booze, Goblin tree and mole rat's bark, Vicious octopus or shark) Finally aboard their boat, To Freeport walls or Qeynos moat Though not allowed within the gate, For one more quest did then await.

The guards would not yet let us in Since we were not a citizen. Off to the sunken city street, Or to the caves or bog of peat, Then back, now having passed the test For these two cities, Norrath's best. Some would adventure on the plain With orcs as foes, an endless bane, While others fought the gnolls for good, By Fippy's Hill and Archer Wood. And as they travelled all around They found that notes with tasks abound For snakes and lizards, mites and rats, Manta rays and sonic bats. Then once fulfilled, now feeling bold, They turned the order in for gold, So stop on by and choose a task From in between the crate and cask As thanks for all the skills they taught, And did it in the way they ought.

2. Could this be for the Guurok, If we could visit him? No, just for silly goblins, For they are often dim.

5. While on the beach and hunting crab, I soon discovered something drab: Just a bone, a sandy shard. Something else that I'll discard. Wait! What's this? There's some design On this item from the brine. Could the other crabs have more As they scurry on the shore? Yes! The others have them, too! Now what shall I use for glue? I can use the fishes' skin, Won't even have to gather ten. Then I'll take another look At what I found and what I took. The goblins, they should have a cord: Got it! What a nice reward! Very useful scrimshaw token, Now that it's no longer broken. I have long moved on from here: One day I was hunting deer. I found a tiny piece of fur Looks like from some gnollish cur.

From what I learned before I grew, I know exactly what to do! I've gathered ten more - that was rough. Now for something I can stuff Into these gloves, some griffon down Before I can return to town. And finally, a tendon thread To sew it shut and get ahead.
From what I learned before I grew, I know exactly what to do! Five giants slain for whetting stones, And undead pirates for their bones Now all I need to make it rip: Hide of an elephant for grip. You fowl will soon feel mighty pain! Flee from me! I'll be your bane!

Good day to you! How are you, friend? You're here to learn? That's good! We tend To thrive on thrills of new things learned, And junk into inventions turned. But don't lose sight of what's around When building with the things you've found: The target model, the ideal, Keep it in mind to make it real. A clockwork gnoll? Observe the brute. A wolf? Then wolves. If clockwork fruit - But anyway, I have a need, The price of metal's high indeed. And I enjoy life's finer things: Especially free cogs and springs. Scrap metal fills the Baubbleshire So bring me bits and bobs and wire. Excellent! A job well done! And from this I have learned a ton! My clockwork gnomes were lacking, see, A certain gullibility. But I've another project planned, It's something really rather grand.
My breakthrough will leave quite a mark, Bigger even than Nogginspark! Who's he? It's good that you don't know That means he's managed to lay low. He studied rats from tail to snout But everyone was quite creeped out He disappeared from his detractors But he still sends me his Reactors. If it needs power and is small, A Nogginspark Reactor's all You need. But now he hides below And made the population grow Of rodents - yet they're really not. His clockwork rats are how they're brought. So go bring seven back for me I'll be here, pond'ring patiently. Well done! Don't think of halflings, quick. I'll show you now my latest trick. With this technique I will obtain The foremost thoughts upon the brain. Your thoughts I'll read most easily: Halflings there are what I see.
Go ask around these questions five And from this data I'll derive What they have upon their mind From just the first word that you find. What's the way you'd calibrate A Fizzo Torque Wrench in the state You'd do some work in Lavastorm And same in Everfrost perform? What's the measurement from Keen On a Druther-Nest, to Preen? To vote for Queen, if you'd a voice, Would nut or bolt obtain your choice? Although it isn't proven yet, What theory is most widely set How thermoparticles decide The flow of metaphysic tides? Isn't Neezer Grund amazing, Shouldn't you his mind be praising? The Banton particle's amounts Of what are high, by most accounts? First to Drundo - he seems drunk. It's likely that he's going to flunk.
Erm, he says, and nothing other. What was that about my mother? I don't understand at all, And, Thermo-what? I don't recall. Neezer Grund's amazing! Who? And, I don't understand - part two. To Remo Zigg - Now go away! But just hear what I have to say! Leave me be! The answer's nine, A nut! Now leave!, I can't opine. Neezer Grund's amazing! Who? Is it tension? Tension! Shoo! And last, not least, to Fillzer Fuzzle. Maybe he can solve this puzzle. Variable from hot to ice: It's 0.034, precise. In bolts, it's twenty over fifty, Going to abstain - he's shifty! No idea, then Neezer - Who? I think it's tension. Is it? Oo! Erm, leave, variable - the first. What, the, in's what they conversed.
The third! I need more data! More! I, nut, going. Now for four. Theramwatt is right! I, no. Who, who, who. Oh, ouch! How low! I, is, I. Tautology! Exciting stuff to busy me! Analysis will take a while All this data to compile. You should go visit Poko Zing And take this Tickerdoodle thing. What do you want? A random task? There's hostiles here. You shouldn't ask. Help with that? I don't know you. But here's some random work to do. Go find assorted metal parts I'll use them in my tink'ring arts. You've brought them back - wait, this one's new And this is bad - Freeportian, too. Go and tell the guard Germain What these ruins now contain. What is it, citizen? I've news.
I found things Poko Zing could use, But this one's from across the sea - Freeportian's what it seems to be. The bad news, it just doesn't cease, With one more thing to break the peace. I thank you for defending, gnome, All those who call fair Qeynos home.

Hello! Good day, my friendly friend! We're matched just right, I do contend. You offered me a mug of ale, So welcome, friend of Rivervale! We halflings need to stick together Both in fair and fouler weather. My friend Maela, she's been down Would you see about her frown? She's over by the waterfall. It's calming here. Life gets us all. That's all she'd say. She won't say more. She's helped too much to just ignore. I know what will bring her cheer: The shadebloom flowers growing here! Oh, Shadebloom. Thank you, I suppose. Rondo said to give you those. That ruffian! That little tease. My husband used to give me these. The call of home has its demands, He's off in the Enchanted Lands. I miss him oh so terribly And I don't want my friends to see
Me be a burden and complain. But you help them without disdain. Oh, I suppose you're probably right, And thank you, friend, for this delight. So how'd it go? I knew she'd share. Her husband's absence shows its wear. And now that she has let it out Her friends can help her; there's no doubt. It's good to help - and good to joke. Not Maela, she's too sweet to poke. Pranks! Our gift from Bristlebane Although of late I must abstain My reputation, well, they'd know, So I'll send you and watch the show. This kit of prank preparedness Has all you need for your success. Inside are pies and Remmy's note, And the instructions Rondo wrote. First Drundo. He replaced my brew And turned my lips a purple hue A walnut pie all topped with cream Will seem to him the halfling's dream
But he's allergic to the nut He'll swell up like a lush's gut! Wherever shall I set this pie? For one just like it I did buy I couldn't help but eat it whole And then I had to take a stroll - Twin pies, you say? Pies need a home. I wouldn't want a pie to roam. A berry pie? Just leave it here. It might go rather well with beer. Let my second prank unfold: Jayla charmed me from my gold. And third, well, Bolo's getting old With his opinion of himself. So give him pie from on my shelf. You bring to me dear Remmy's note? I want to meet you's what he wrote! And it says he'll bring some pie He's interested! I'll soon be by! That Bolo keeps on asking me, But Remmy's who I want to see. Now Bolo's getting quite the news,
An offer that he won't refuse. Jayla wants to meet with him. No, I don't think so. I'm not dim. Well, in case you turned her down There's someone else from here in town - Wait! You said she wants a pie? She's there in Oakmyst? off I fly! An hour, though? That's rather quick. Your berry pie would do the trick! It was for a delivery, I'll get another. Take it, free. Rondo will be quite amused With all the mischief he's diffused. He'll tell them what he shouldn't know The looks upon their face will grow It's priceless, but it's also dear To spread around such halfling cheer. A baker who's a friend of mine Made for me these pies so fine. Bees are something we don't lack. Their honey's what I'll pay her back. This honey's good. You've really grown.
It's time for pranking of your own. The guard thinks Remmy stole some pies It might be true, it might be lies. So with him in this little jam Go and call him Pie Man Sam. Hello! Nice day! That's why I'm here. You're Pie Man Sam, that's very clear. They weren't for me! They had no food, This family and their little brood - Here! I'll pay you any fine! Seven, eight, and here is nine! You dare to offer me a bribe? Your punishment I will describe: A fine's not all we had in store, Days and nights with every chore Within the kitchen where you stole I can't do that! I'll make it whole! But maybe you'll avoid the charge If my pocket's filled up large With silver. I'll do anything! No, wait! Before, that was a sting. Just take me now! I cannot bear
To stay within this endless snare! Rondo knew you'd fall for this! You got me good! But it's amiss. I didn't make those pies go poof But I can't find them any proof. Something got into the shed Please go search for clues instead. This barrel's smashed, there's bits of wood, But what is this? Oh, this is good! It's very coarse, this patch of fur, Looks like from some gnollish cur. Remmy's not who they'll accuse: Germain appreciates this news. He's glad to hear, but must beware Could this be big, or something rare? Without more proof, the guard stays short - Erm, no offense. None taken, sport.

Greetings to ye, noble one! Every breath, Marr's will be done. Marr hath often aided us Let us now our tale discuss. Overwhelmed, we fled to Guk The Rallosians had us stuck But our valour made him proud He unleashed the Greenmist cloud. Gukta we could then reclaim But slavery and the Shattering came. Again Marr's blessing with us dwelt We won, but many wrongs were dealt. I'm parched with telling you this tale - Wouldst thou fetch a pint of ale? A sweet bog spirit to drink down Thou wilt find within this town. Here's a coin; I must wait here For a message to appear. Ah! This drink is what I crave But, alas! The news is grave. An ogre in the Down Below! Inquiry Rrak if this is so!
Mine eyes have struck me to the quick I desired to fight and kick But bats and spiders he'd assail, So I returned to tell the tale, What hast thou learned and brought from Rrak? Will this beast emerge? Attack? Go below and search for clues, Something that can bring us news. Thou hast returned! What didst thou find? Did he leave anything behind? This satchel's ogrish in design, But on it is a Qeynos sign. By the truth of Marr he's swayed, Freeport's overlord betrayed! It seems he's good. May Marr be praised! But many here will be amazed. We're duty-bound to help in need So now within these walls proceed To spread these tenets to the elves They share honour with ourselves. To elf and froglok news must spread
Lest they both be filled with dread. The word is shared. They will not fret. The ogre poseth not a threat. Graac Justheart needeth now thy hands Above the stairs with tads she stands. What service dost thou now desire? Water do the tads require. Procure from Carpenter Goroop A barrel for my taddish troupe. Then fill it from the fountain here Although the water's far too clear. I come from Graac. A barrel, sir. My services belong to her! I'll part with one, she need but ask, Made tight and sturdy for her task. The barrel's filled, but froak! Alas! The tads are now upon the grass! What hath happened, dearest lady? Who hath done this deed so shady? An ogre ran within the walls! 'Twas he who caused these dreadful falls? Nay, I hurried to protect
But my speed could not be checked. Instead my haste did tip a barrel Help me save them from this peril. Ye found them all amongst the weeds! Marr's name is praised through noble deeds. Thou aidedst them without a yelp Lost were they without thy help. Kwa requesteth all details: Please, regale me with thy tales. No harm did on the tads befall. Thou bringst Marr's blessing to us all. One more favour I would ask, If thou hast no other task: In Oakmyst Charlin needs thine aid He serveth in the Queen's brigade. With faith in Marr, please go assist And do his will within our midst.

The Koada'Dal have need of you - Who are they? What are you, new? If it should be Tunare's will Koada'Dal will die, or kill A high elf's not among our peers, That's human with some pointy ears. We've fought in wars both small and great And we would never hesitate. Now we're here as refugees Our time has gone without reprise. To help our people's what I do These tasks must be attended to. In Felwithe were the Green Wisp plants At night they glowed; their light would dance I wish those here in Castleview Could see what all of us once knew. Fill this flask with water, blessed, The soil in that barrel's best, Around the fountain are the seeds: These three satisfy our needs. Excellent! They have been found. See those planters all around?
Plant the wisp beside the tree Their beauty everyone shall see. The blessed water, seed, and soil Make this work an easy toil. The plants grow at a stunning rate Seven done, but what is eight? An agitated wisp attacks! But soon is slain within its tracks. Have you planted all the bushes? You're planting one and something pushes Out from deep within the plant? This evil must be fixed. I can't Cleanse this taint all by myself But I know another elf. Seek Shae'Ahla by the gate. Learn from her the green wisp's fate. All the sentients follow pain. What does that mean? Please explain. Elves and humans, gnomes and trolls, All of Norrath's sentient souls, Without intent, do yet embark Upon the paths of chaos dark.
Worlds in strife produce no glee What has brought you here to me? The green wisp gave you quite the scare? You see? Corruption's everywhere! But I can help. Please, give your hand. Take this blessing to the land. Rub your fingers on the leaf, Then this plant shall have relief. The blessing worked, but then a sprite Emerged and it began to fight. A sprite had this corruption's breath? I'm sorry that we've caused its death. We only wanted to bring growth, But seek its spirit for us both. The spirit will remain nearby And maybe even tell us why. Tell me, sprite, what have you sown? For what I've done, I can't atone. This day is sad, for I did fall Corruption has me in its thrall. I just remember one green thread But I must go. I'll tend this bed.
What did she say? Her thread is strong She yet may to Tunare belong. Now go to Oakmyst, tell this tale To Adalin Emerael. What this corrupted sprite might mean He knows, for Oakmyst, too, has seen Unpleasant things of unknown source. While I was upon my course To cleanse the trees and make then clear A gnoll did suddenly appear. Fighting skills I've not achieved, And, sadly, I was not believed When I escaped and told the guard. Please cleanse these trees which have been marred. While you're out on this patrol, If indeed you find a gnoll, Find some proof and bring it back. Evidence we must not lack. The trees are cleansed, for this I saw, And you have a gnollish paw? If their plan we would avert,
The Qeynos guard we must alert. Lieutenant Charlin's not enthused: You're the second one confused By what you saw - a gnoll, right here? A paw? Now this is cause for fear. You have some proof. I'll send the word, Now that this is not absurd, On up the chain, to my command. Our people thank you, and our land.

Good to see you! We've not met. We've things in common, though, I bet. Sometimes we don't know who we are, Which, for our kind, is quite bizarre. Who are you, if you're so in touch? The answer doesn't matter much If it's something you believe, It can change, but to achieve, Keep present whate'er it may be, Now go remind another three. The young learn who they are through war, The old reminded what they're for, Go around and spread this light, Find these three, and start a fight. The guards are used to such a thing, The way we are, and what we bring. First is Marus, at the bar, And second Angus, not too far From the armoury, near the dock, And Dunda, third, would quickly knock Your head and punch and take a whack, But lately she's been holding back.
There sits Marus, drinking beer - Is someone making cheese in here? What did you say? Now closer, well, It is your feet that cause that smell. Oh, that's good - he takes a swing, But soon he's down. That has to sting. Angus, standing by the wall Needs to have a healthy brawl. Did someone put a lighthouse in? Oh, just your forehead, all that skin. Did I hear what you said to me? It's shiny! That's B-A-L-D! He lunges - You are going down! We'll see! He charges with a frown. The struggle's brief. He soon is beat. Just one more to go complete. What d'ya need in Dunda's place? Mav was right about your face. Don't mention her! Now you'll regret The thrashing you're about to get! Maybe so, or maybe not - She's down in just a single shot.
Hah hah! You're back! Those fights remind One of his place - that's what you'll find. I like you. I won't send you off quite yet. This problem has me quite upset. My package isn't in my grip. I hope that it survived the trip. Take this manifest from me, It's shipment GG4QC. I hope I'm not a worrier - Should I fight the courier? No, don't do that. Just go and ask. This should be a simple task. GG4QC is here, But on the list does not appear. I'm working through the overflow, Outside of that, I wouldn't know. The coordinator's at the pier, Now are we done? I'm working here. You're here for Burk about a crate? Its arrival's very late? All new shipments we receive Are unloaded, and we leave
Them on the dock until they're moved. Go and check them. You're approved. Was it there? In the thirteen Crates and barrels that you've seen? No? Ask the loader of the dock - Marus'll know about this stock. You're back. Still looking for a fight? Sometimes, yes, but not tonight. A shipment that you helped unload Should be here, but never showed. I've been following its path - Oh, that one! That one took a bath. He said it fell and floated down? I hope you're not afraid to drown. Put these buoys on each crate, We'll pull them out and save this freight. You found my package! Another, too, That must be a gift for you. I'm glad this package wasn't lost, A weaving found in Everfrost. It details my family's past, Our whole story we've amassed,
It's very educational, Important, inspirational. This must immediately adorn Our house. I'll send you now to Jorn. In Oakmyst, where I'm sure he will Have a task you can fulfil. What duty might Jorn soon require? That little blasted, jerk-faced liar! Burk sent me - did he not speak true? Oh, no, not Burk. This gnome is who Has got me steamed, for he's a cheat At high-stakes cards, and he'll get beat. He fled out here. I was too drunk To smash his face, the gnomish punk. I've been out here for several days, The guards would tell me if he strays. But I could really use some rest, I saw him heading to the west. He can't get out, but he could sneak. The docks are where you need to seek. There you are, and now you'll pay! Oops, I'll go the other way!
We need to talk. What's this about? Jorn wants his money, cheating lout! Oh, no, you don't! I won't go down! You don't run this stupid town! But to the ground he quickly sags. I had to kill him. Here's his bags. I'm glad you got my money back, But what is this within his sack? A book in the Lucanic tongue? Looks like our gnomish friend had sprung From Freeport - this is not for me. This is something guards should see. Go to Charlin, tell the tale. He can follow up this trail. I have some news. I found a tome Brought here by a cheating gnome. You found this here, among the oaks? With my luck, it's a book of jokes. I'll send it to be studied well, And see what secrets it may tell. I thank you for this loyal deed, It may to something bigger lead.

Well, hello! You're sort of new? I could use some help from you. My husband's been out for a while, The shop is starting to compile Many tasks that must be done, But, right now, I'm only one. Here's what I need you to do: Right here is my fermenting brew! I found a family recipe, And got the mix to all agree. Ingredients for my next batch Are here, but sadly, this dispatch Is sitting here - it's unassigned. The shipping company's behind. My honey, cherries, and my yeast Have been here two whole days, at least. I have an overflow manifest Which will help upon this quest. Here are 4QGCG's Barrels - spices - some old cheese - Under that, the frozen cherries! Wow, this barrel really varies.
Inside 2DF0F's hid The yeast right underneath the lid, And lastly, for the dwarven chef, Is barrel QGC4F. Packed in 'gnomish misc.' and coal, The honey jar remains quite whole. You found them all, and just in time! This batch is done, and in its prime. It's been so long that all must think That I made up my family drink. I must stay here and tend my shop, So would you go and give a drop To several friends? Collect the jug And take my brew for them to chug. Gnor and Gurna in the inn Will love to give this brew a spin And Dunda Frostgrip gets a share She's by the scribe shop, over there. Gnor thinks it keeps you warm at night, And Gurna says it's got some bite. But Dunda's not so fond of Mav - What great, big, new thing does she have?
Twice in a row, can't be one-upped - Retaliation must erupt. She brewed her family's recipe. She didn't! Trouble! Where is she? I'll pound that brew - it's aley bliss! Delicious - but don't tell her this! Your brew is shared all over town, It actually knocked Gnor right down. Gurna loved it, Dunda, too, Although she said to not tell you. I knew she'd love it! She had thought The recipe would ne'er be wrought. Although she teased about my booze, Today is filled with such good news! And there's more! A package from My cousin's here. It's finally come! But the shipping's all a mess, It certainly is not express. It's on the docks, so would you go Before it's dropped in overflow? Mav's new shipment's what you need? She has a backlog. But proceed
Down on the dock. It's at the end. Go retrieve it for your friend. You got my package from the dock! For months I've waited for this rock! From Kaladim is whence it came - You surely know that dwarven name. To visit it one day's my dream, Impossible as that may seem. But here we also have a stone, A monument to halls unknown. Please take it there. It might react. Perhaps our home remains intact. The stone is cold, and rather rough For building, though, it's just the stuff. The stones together give a sense Both audible and quite intense. Hammers, chisels, very strong, Moving carts, a dwarven song. What happened with what I had asked? Sounds and visions from our past. It's strong with you, Kaladim's spirit. My husband, too, would love to hear it.
He's very late; he's been delayed Probably from the shipping trade. But if his drunkenness is rife, Come back - that job will need a wife. But without or with a mug, I really miss him, that old lug. In Oakmyst Forest he awaits, Surprisingly, quite near the gates. There you are! You must be Marv. I'm glad you're not about to starve Mav sent you here, and on the double, She thinks I'm drunk, or else in trouble. But I'm fine. I'm waiting here. The courier lost half my beer. If I ship this half, extra fees, And if I leave, then theft's a breeze. He dropped my kegs right in the drink. Would you retrieve what he let sink? You've found them all! Ah, this is great! But wait - I didn't order eight. Someone else has been about. This one says Blackburrow Stout.
Don't take it back - the guard will know Just where that keg will need to go. You found a keg of gnollish ale? You're not the first to come and hail Me with some news about a gnoll Here in the forest, on patrol. Things are getting rather strange. That they are. May they soon change.

May the gods bring you their blessing! Erm, if you're the sort who is professing - You used to tell just by one's race Which god it is he would embrace But a human might maintain Faith in Tunare or Bristlebane. All you can assume's we strive, No matter what, that we'll survive. The only thing that's constant's change, We adjust, adapt, and rearrange. Although other cities fell, Here in Qeynos, all may dwell. I follow Quellious and her peace, Which, of late, seems to decrease. If we knew ourselves and neighbours, We'd have no war, nor all its labours. Oh! Andret said that I could borrow, Yesterday, some books tomorrow! Would you pick them up for me? He should have two, or maybe three. Here's the books for her to start. The one on Brell, though, came apart.
Hmm - 'Age of Blood, Age of Glory', The Combine Empire's violent story. Human power was at its heights. 'Humans, Barbarians, and Erudites' All related, did you know? This understanding helps us grow. Although the Combine Empire fell, That's not to say we did, as well. Our time has not come and gone, Our city adapts and carries on, Our queen's admired - another book? And it's ancient, by the look. It's called 'Followers of Brell Serilis', but some pages fell. Too bad this knowledge now has flown, Scattered, and the wind has blown Them who-knows-where in Nettleville. I dropped them, so I shall refill Your tome that's filled with ancient lore. They're here. Have you another chore? You've fit in quite well 'round here, Where we help, not rule by fear.
I don't have another task My four friends, though, you could ask. Amazu, if I might obtain Some work - I'm from your friend Helain - My friend, you say? I'll run you through! Aaaah, I'm sorry! Just teasing you! For that, I should have you declawed! Ha! I like you! I applaud! I've nothing, though, to fetch or shovel. Then others wait within the Hovel! You're back! Don't say she finished those! Not yet! Her interest really shows. Might you, though, have a task for me? Not today? To number three! Bahati Linnxar's by her stall, But, sadly, has no work at all. She says Helain is sweet, but odd, With talk of Quellious, her god. On my hunting she has frowned, My hunt is where my peace is found! And last, Laudine. You're new here, friend? Yes, but I've run from end to end
Of Nettleville, sent by Helain, So its knowledge I might obtain. Helain? I like her. You'd excel If you take a page from her book well. No thanks, those take forever to find. What was that? Oh, never mind. She had sent you here because - For work? I've none, but Johfrit does. Sounds good. He's not a stable boy? Ha ha! No, that's not his employ. You're here for work? See, I procure Goods that are a bit obscure. My suppliers made my shipment shrink: They dropped two items in the drink. And they decided not to dive To make my life hard, I contrive. They didn't finish; they weren't paid. Now get them and complete my trade. You found my barrel and my crate. Well done. My customers await. You're all slimy and smell like fish. But you've retrieved the goods they wish,
You sure that this is honest work? Of course! But let the guards not lurk Till of these goods you've gotten rid - Take Amazu his imported squid, And Laudine her ale. That's how she knew To send me to find work from you! Be sure they pay, else I cannot Pay you for the goods you got. You brought my squid! You smell so tasty! All the Kerra will follow, hasty! Here's your ale, but for a price. More than willing for drink this nice. Here's the money that they paid For the goods I have conveyed. Here's your cut. An item, too. Don't go! I have no more to do, But I know others who can use Some help. I know you won't refuse. Lieutenant Dawson needs a hand It's honest work that she has planned. She's in the Bog, right through the gate Thank you. Hmm. I'll head there straight.
A question? My mind's occupied. With what? Not sure. Things coincide. Strange things are happening in the Bog. The ecology just took a jog We need a stronger presence here, But Qeynos says that isn't clear. I'm still working on my plan, But I know you'll help as soon as you can.

6th Annual Festival of Unity Scavenger Hunt Official Clues - Nettleville Hovel 2 by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Is direction what you seek? Purpose, meaning, when it's bleak? Of words and friendship I can boast, With rituals I help the most. We hold to them, for that's their aim, And know that others do the same. You will not have far to roam: This one acquaints you with your home. The Ritual of Hearth you'll learn. Gather soil, then return. Gather it from places three: By the market's western tree, By tree that's near the bog of peat, By Qeynos' gate will this complete. Now take these soils, let them fall Through your fingers. That is all. Nettleville will now know you, And, perhaps, you'll know it, too. Wait - this soil's from each site? The smell and colour isn't right. Something might be very wrong, There's elements that don't belong
Someone's conducting a Pa'Rok, This mystery we must unlock. Take this to the Spiritist. Laharn's his name. He can assist. This soil causes some concern? Let us see what we can learn, But it's quicker to enlist The help of a human alchemist Ask Gunta to identify What's here. She's with the scribe, nearby. You say it's an important task? I don't have time for what you ask. I must label; I must sort, So I must cut our meeting short. I won't, if I don't tend the store, Be his assistant any more. And leave the alchemist alone, For he has problems of his own. To help us, sadly, she refused. Not surprising is this news, For we are often all alone. This makes us stronger. We have grown.
Three things I need if they won't stop: Reactive Kesmith from his shop, A Litsuth bag the tailor sells, And Selkie mushrooms by the bells. Lakosha asked you for this test? She thought the compounds might suggest The ceremony was corrupt, And something bad might soon erupt. Pa'Rok's a way we mourn our dead, But it's too long, or old, some said: It helps not those who think such things, For others, closure's what it brings. If this corruption does not cease, The ceremony brings no peace. It threatens the link with the soul Another may come, or not the whole, This study we have not employed, It's something that we must avoid. Tell Lakosha what I've said. We must stop the stage ahead. The performer's in great danger here, And we don't know what might appear.
Return to where the soil was, And tell him what corruption does. By the Peat Bog! He's the one! Don't interrupt! This must be done! Contaminants are in the soil. This has made the ritual spoil. The final offering's been made - She appears - Ja'neth's shade. Because of the corrupted stage, She's not at peace, but in a rage. What have I done? Instead of bliss, I've poisoned her because of this. She fights, but soon is put to rest - Now must my penance be addressed. Ralkesh, Ja'neth will be just fine. Do you believe that, with this sign? I'll tell Lakosha of her fate: It was completed, I was late, But he'll prepare and try again, And now we'll find whence comes this stain. The botanist will run some tests To find exactly what infests
The soil. So I need some clues From the sludges and the ooze. They eat the mud in which they slink, I'll need that, too, to find this link. The samples found, the tests will run Just a moment... now they're done This mineral is not found here, But in the Caves it does appear. Lieutenant Dawson needs to know The results my tests all show. What is this about the dirt? Alone, no need for an alert, But other things are going on. This worries me, who might be drawn With these changes in the land - But I thank you for your hand.

To seek the truth's the greatest quest, And next enlightenment is best. Will you achieve this goal you seek? You do not know? That's not unique. Enlightenment, though, of our race I will achieve, but now the pace Is rather slow. Those who are here And those in Freeport don't adhere To the same compassionate views. I'll show them something else to choose. Their views, though, I can tolerate, Their evil action's what I hate. A heretical relic has been brought Into Qeynos. This must be fought. Its ideals are adverse To Qeynos. It may have a curse Or just attract those who promote Keeping those ideals afloat. Go see a human behind the shop, Climb the bench, for he's up top. Cayan's friends can help us find The package that I have in mind.
It was brought to Oolium, His path has kept our agent from Following, for he'd be seen, So learn what Cayan's friends can glean. He'll want some payment - not in coin - A favour's what he will rejoin For information flows his way Through favours and his friends' array. Oolium's package is what you seek? I will need some time to speak With friends, but I'll get what you ask. In the meantime, here's my task: Red sun berries grow around Starcrest Commune, near the ground. I get them, then I'd be accused Of having things assassins used. An Erudite, well, say that you're Looking for an ancient cure. But their malicious properties Are not what I intend for these. They're at the bush's heart to take So reach on in and give a shake.
You've got them? Good. A statue, small And bronze is sold at Zinun's stall No one who's in their right mind Would purchase such a useless find. To you it has a certain charm. Go buy it. Really. What's the harm? The statuette has lost its sheen, But there's a tiny seam between The upper and the lower part A minor twist, and it's apart. Inside, a note: We found your grey But he threw the box away. He must have thought we're on to him He made the package take a swim. It landed with a heavy thud And likely in three feet of mud. It could be in the Peat Bog, deep, Or eaten by the beasts that creep. This note is bad. Now we won't know To whom the package was to go. Who knows who could find it now? That we simply can't allow.
We were so close! Wait... there's a grate That might have stopped our precious crate. In the water, there's debris, Or is that the box I see? It was pushed here by the tide, It's far too large, but what's inside The package which I just have seen Can easily be pulled between The bars. Inside, a metal box, And soggy note beneath the docks. There's arcane symbols all in black, I should get these quickly back. The ink has run, but I sense more: Velderoth is who it's for. That's the box? These runes... oh, dear. A Soul Spike is what's found in here. A weapon of the heretic, He must be out of Qeynos, quick. We must make this Soul Spike known. Once it's destroyed, he will have flown. Go to Cayan, get the stand, Then tap it with this stone in hand.
The stand is up. A magic sting - No! How could you do this thing? Heretic, you should now flee. Your insults will just anger me. This knowledge should not be destroyed! For power it can be employed. If this isn't what you seek, You're not an Erudite. You're weak. He's gone. We should not share this news. To keep the peace, the truth must lose. He could cause, indirectly, harm If this gets out. There'd be alarm. All this, illusions, strictly play, Is how this must be explained away. Go to the Peat Bog, seek a friend, He'll help put this to an end. Maareona sent me here With news of heretics, I fear. He and his Soul Spike are now gone, No one else knows what went on. So you've been Maareona's aide? Not long? Then you can help here in the
shade. My contact doesn't know my face, So I can send you in my place. Take the path to near the tree My contact's waiting there for me. The dark figure says, "Ist neelum" The reply, "Ret katha est al inum" Which means that 'it all cancels out', You're the one, without a doubt. To the south, a sunken log, Where you'll find Pale here in the Bog. "An ambiguous reflection" Is what you'll say for his direction. The password worked. Go to the north, And veh'ra will quite soon come forth. Say it's by the "light of the moon" You'll have what you seek very soon. Veh'ra gives the envelope. Then back. No trouble, then, I hope? Not really. Good. Exciting news! Lieutenant Dawson, she can use The information you retrieved.
Here's the note that I received. From Rujiarmo? A bit suspect. But still, my thanks. I'll have this checked.

Well met, Ayr'Dal. That much is clear. Worry not, you'll find friends here. Your mother's side? Sentimental, then. Or father's, a more practical ken. Such patterns I have come to see, And others, well, you'll soon agree. Go talk to Gar, behind the inn, See how he treats one of our kin. Then Lia, by the Elddar's gates, And see what attitude awaits. You want some work? For coin, no doubt. You just thought that you'd help me out? Good deal for me, for I've a task, But I know coin is why you ask. Some kids moved all my labels 'round So that my goods cannot be found. Check each box and take a peek And find where are the things I seek. Clay figures, raisins, carving wood Bottles, herbs - your work is good. That was quick, and thorough, too. I'm sorry that I snapped at you.
Lia, you've a troubled look. What can I do? A strong wind shook The birds who nest among the trees, Not that you care for things like these. A half elf wouldn't understand Silly concerns about the land That's not an insult, simply true - So you don't want my help, do you? I'm sorry to come off as such, I didn't think you'd care too much. Very well. Go check each nest. If eggs are fallen and distressed, Bring them back. I'll give them care. How will I know which bird goes where? Just like an Ayr'Dal to ask that. I know where every bird is at. The northeast corner of the inn Is where your search should go begin, Then to the north, there grows a tree, And by the Ruins will make three. You found them all! They've been retrieved With greatest care. I'm most relieved.
It looks like all three can be saved. You've returned. Were they behaved? Assuming, rude, but thanked my aid. Unfortunate this was displayed. But not surprising, and here's why I showed you what is here nearby. We're often judged, but we're well-versed In tending to assume the worst. We think look down is what they'll do And see it when it isn't true. It's hard to deal with, but there's more. Go see Milo, in the store. Ask of Lyssia, seek her out, Ask her what Milo's all about. Milo, you're quite chipper, sir. Lyssia? You'll marry her? I'm very lucky, I confess, That she to this plain guy said yes. She's beautiful, with wit and grace, And wisdom from the elven race. When I mess up - which is a lot, An even temper's what she's got.
It sounds like you're a lucky man. I'll be as lucky as I ever can. Lyssia! You must be she. Milo's delightful, isn't he? I spoke with him. He says you're great. But he is of a plainer state. Well, how embarrassing is that! He thinks his own worth's rather flat. But his modesty appeals to me, He's careful, strong, don't you agree? Love comes to all of us in time, He doesn't see it, though, but I'm Able to tell he's quite the man, And share this joy as oft I can. You're back, but something has occurred. Milo's story must be deferred. The essay that I had to write Has pages which just took a flight. I took a break, forgot a stone, When I got back, the wind had blown Them all around the Willow Wood. Will you find them, if you could?
I have to now rewrite a bunch Of pages a dog had for lunch. You found all five! Now, where were we? Milo and Lyssia - what did you see? He loves her beauty, wisdom, wit, She thinks he's strong, compassionate. Their races' strengths are what they love, Just as before, we'd spoken of What's weak in elves and humankind, But also keep these strengths in mind. We're not better or worse than each, Though that conclusion others reach. This can be hard, but has rewards, My essay's on what this affords. It's now complete, so would you take A copy over to the lake? In the Ruins, west of here, My friend Elvic will appear. I thank you, friend, for Daelyn's work. But something has begun to lurk. Something's off - I know not what - I've found abandoned camps here, but
It's mostly junk, though sometimes clues. Would you help, and find out who's Causing all the mystery here. See if something makes this clear. An old, worn brush, a mouldy doll, A mug that's cracked. Could this be all? Finally! I found a note! This clue, it was a gnoll that wrote. The guard must see this right away, You found this here? This means that they Could likely have some plans in store, And Qeynos isn't sending any more Guards out here for quite some time. Unfortunate. At least though, I'm On this, if but only one, And grateful, friend, for all you've done.

Welcome to the Willow Wood! An eager learner, that is good. Speak with Davyn, he's the same, And learn Feir'Dal's not just a name. Offer help - he's just ahead - And then return with what is said. Good day to you. And you, as well. I'm busy, though. My thoughts propel Me everywhere. I'm quite distracted, And my focus is impacted. It must be from some inner distress, But my dear friend's tribute can't progress. Your help I most appreciate, See Aelis. She will help create. I knew that he'd accept your aid. Do you know why a tribute's made? You will learn. It will grow clear. Reverence for something dear, Friends or family, nature, too, Crafting tributes is what I do. I help the one who comes to ask Make something worthy for his task.
We'll build not just a physical shell, But metaphysical as well. It's strange that he does not desire To take more part or to acquire The things we need. But as he please. First Dewdrop leaves. You'll gather these. The quality can be great or scant, Each must be from a different plant. Here are the leaves. What's next to do? The tribute needs a task from you. It's Davyn's tribute, after all, So do it for him - grand or small. Is my tribute finished yet? A task for you must now be met. That's funny, since you're doing one. What sort of task must now be done? It could be anything you need. I've one, though dangerous, indeed. I'll try. A wolf was seen last night, And gave the citizens a fright. The first report's from Taval Zane. Go speak to him and find this bane.
And if you haven't yet gone in, There's one-room lodging at the inn. Good day. The wolf report was yours? You've chosen, too, to stay indoors Where it's safe. Yes, that was me Who saw the wolf out by the tree. I ran inside and closed the door Before the wolf could do much more. Later, when I dared peek out, Towards the scribe it went about. Jana's usually there, but I've Doubts that she is still alive. Last night, a rabid wolf was here Jana, did you see it near? I did not, but you should check JUst to the north, that wooden wreck. When I arrived, I saw that cart Looked like it was torn apart. Aha! Some tracks lead to the east And soon I've found the rabid beast. It growls and charges from ahead, But very soon, the wolf is dead.
To Davyn, with some news for him: You've helped, although the task was grim. Aelis then asks what you did. I tracked a wolf and then got rid Of it. No, no, with more detail, Or else the ritual will fail. He asked me how his tribute was, And sought a task. He said he does Have a task he'd give to me: Put the wolf out of its misery. And how did this task make you feel? Sad? Or scared? With eager steel? All these feelings began to dawn. Interesting. Please carry on. He then sent me to the inn Where Taval was afraid within. Did you comfort Mr Zane? Yes, I helped his fear to wane. Then Jana's often by the shop, So she became my second stop. She hadn't seen it, wasn't worried, But pointed out a cart. I hurried
Over to see goods and sacks Rummaged through, and found some tracks. Were you nervous or on edge? A bit. Continue. On the ledge, In the hills I found the beast It leapt at me - then was deceased. Now that it's done, have you regret? Nature kills when there's a threat. Most interesting. I'm now inspired To write the tribute that's required. The last component's all around: Woodsun flowers must be found. You got the flowers? Here they are. Take it to Davyn. It's come far. How goes your tribute? It's not mine. You and Aelis made this sign. It would show great disrespect To Ulinir if I elect To place this tribute on his grave. I would not wish to so behave. He was worthy, though you didn't know Ulinir. Yes, I will go.
The Forest Ruins have a river, Its end is where you will deliver This tribute which you have acquired. May others also be inspired By the friendship you have shown, And may see how much you've grown. The grave is found, the tribute placed: May his memory never be erased. Ilaen Lilac stands nearby And speaks about the earth and sky. If we don't work to save this land, No one else will raise a hand. With what problems are you so in tune? If you've not felt it, you will, soon. The movement, interest, deaths quite strange, There's been a most alarming change. Though there are signs of this new threat, The Guard has not shown interest yet. Deer are slain at such a rate, Some say it's wolves that just predate. A few, but most, definitely not For these deer are left to rot.
Their wounds seem like from arrow fire, But no clues I could acquire. You've returned from your patrol This arrow was made by a gnoll. Take this arrow to Germain, Maybe now it will be plain. Citizen, what have you brought? I hope that isn't what I thought. The gnolls are likely on the move, Although one arrow doesn't prove Enough to spur the city. I'm Sure the proof will come, in time. I'm sure this problem will be won, Thank you again for all you've done.

The barbarian is best eaten as steaks or roasted. Here is an interesting recipe of roasted barbarian with herbs.
SPIT-ROASTED ROTHGAR
Some weird people like spit-roasted sucking pig. Even if it s nice, nothing can compare with spit-roasted barbarian. If you can catch a Rothgar unaware (invite him to a feast, let him get very very drunk then hit him on the head), you can taste this great recipe. You can even stuff the barbarian first!
* 1 Rothgar * Heart and liver of the Rothgar * 1kg (2.2 lb) onions if you use a 12 kg (26.5 lb) barbarian kid, at least 6kg (13 lb) onions for * a whole Rothgar * 2 cloves of garlic (or 12) * Chopped parsley * 10 slices of sandwich loaf (or 60) * 25 cl (8.5 fl oz) milk (or 1.5 l/50 fl oz) * 2 teaspoon thyme (or 12) * Salt, pepper
* 2 eggs (or 12)
Prepare the stuffing by chopping the heart and liver. Add in the chopped onions and garlic. Put the milk unto the bread then add to the mix.
Mix the stuffing with thyme, parsley and eggs. Put the stuffing in your barbarian then sew it.
Skewer the barbarian on the spit and cover the ears with aluminium foil so they do not burn.
Prepare a marinade to cover your Rothgar with during the cooking process. Fill a big bowl with olive oil with thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Heat the embers and put the barbarian to turn over them. Brush it very often with the marinade during the whole cooking phase at least 3 to 4 hours) so it doesn t burn or turn crisp.

Cook at 180°C for 10 minutes until the top starts to turn a little brown.
It's not the regular "congolais" recipe which
is made with only egg whites. Both are pretty nice.

Mix flour, sugar, oil and vanilla. Add a little bit of orange flower water to make the paste stick a bit better.
Make balls of dough and put a pinch of cinnamon on top.
Cook at 150°C for 20 minutes. The cookies should be very soft and crumbling under
the teeth. You can cook a bit more if you want them harder. Those can be flavored with cocoa or more cinnamon.
SABLE
The sablé is my favorite cookie and can be flavored with mostly anything, be it cocoal, vanilla extract, almond extract, almond powder, orange extract and so on.

Cook at 180 °C for 15 minutes until it turns a golden brown on top.
Wash and thinly slice almonds, then allow to dry. Thinly slice pistachios. Mix sugar, honey and oil and cook over high heat stirring occasionally until sugar melts and turns golden.
Add almonds and continue cooking while stirring occasionally until almonds also turn golden. Avoid too much stirring of the mix. Dissolve saffron in a bit of hot water and add to the mix.
Pour some oil on a flat tray and rub over the entire surface. Pour a small amount of the mix on the tray. If it solidifies quickly, the mix is ready, Turn the heat very low.
Pour small portions of the mix using a teaspoon on the tray at equal distances so that the portions do not touch. As soon as each portion is poured on the tray, place a few slices of pistachio on top. Allow to cool.
Separate the sohaan from the tray using a knife and keep in a covered container.

The Bunny Witch Pioneer Episode 1
Once upon a time, a witchy pioneer decided to travel to the lands of ice and cold. She had heard of many mysterious happenings in the land and wanted to check it out for herself. So she braved the cold to travel there.
Upon landing on the dock the first thing she saw was . . .
A band of orcs that had launched an attack upon some fisherman. They had attacked the fisherman as they headed into land, so they could not retreat to their boats.
They had attacked because they heard the fisherman had found a spot where they fished up some magical fish. They wanted to get the fish for themselves, and did not care who they hurt to get it. Upon seeing this the witchy pioneer did . . .
Call up elementals made of snow in the shape of bunnies to attack the orcs. She fired carrot shaped ice projectiles to further help her snowy furry friends in battle.
The orcs were understandably startled by their attackers and the first couple were completely trampled into the snow by them. They started to fight back but it quickly became a rout, and the orcs were either pummeled into snow or driven off.
The fishermen came over to the witch and . . .
Thanked her for her help asking for her name. “I am Marilyn Bunroe, a witch pioneer that has traveled to your lands. I heard there were many mysteries here and wanted to find out for myself.”
Thankful for her help the fishermen offered her . . .
Invited her back to their village for their festival of fish. There would be a feast that night and they wanted to make her a guest of honor for her help. Wanting to see the village for herself she accepted, and traveled with them to their home
When she got to the village she saw . . .
The houses were decorated with special shells strung from seaweed. They had a sparkily, glittery look to them that made little speckles of reflected light dance around. In the center of the village there was a giant ice sculpture of a bunny!
This made Marilyn very happy and she went right up to inspect the giant ice bunny. When she got close she noticed . . .
In the reflection of the ice she spotted orcs
that were trying to sneak attack the village for revenge! Marilyn summoned more of her giant snow bunnies to defend the village. She sent carrot shaped ice projectiles aimed at the dastardly orcs.
During the battle . . .
The giant ice sculpture of the bunny comes to life! You see it was the guardian spirit of the village and it leapt into battle to protect it. The giant Ice Bunny spirit strengthened the large snow bunny elementals.
Together they overwhelmed the orcs, smashing them very firmly into the snow! The villages looked on in awe as the witch’s bunnies worked with their guardian spirit. They looked at Marily and . . .
Cheered for her and the victory over the orcs. Amazed by how her bunnies worked
with their guardian spirit they said. “You must have been sent by the spirits, blessed of the bunnies.
Would you stay on, speak with our guardian spirit and help protect our village.” Marilyn was ver flattered by their offer and thought about it. She said . . .
Before she could answer a deep voice that was felt within each person sounded. One that was not heard with the ears but by their very soul. They knew it was the Guardian Bunny that spoke to them all.
“This one should stay, for she is blessed by my kind. However I have seen her heart, and she should not be pinned to only one place. We will give her a base so she may explore these lands and help us with their mysteries.”
The villagers . . .
A hush fell over the villagers as they waited for her answer. After a moment of silence the witch spoke out. “I will stay with you, this village of ice, snow and bunnies.” The villagers cheered and the festival became one of thanks and welcome.
They started fixing everything for the feast and some of the fishermen came by with a tub of fish that started the whole fight in the first place. The witch looked at the fish and saw . . .
That one of them was special. Sparkling with all the colors of the rainbow, shimmering in the light. She called for a tub of water and they put the fish inside it and the fish . . .
Started to talk. “Please return me to the waters, for I am a guardian fish. Return me and I will help protect your boats out on the ocean.”
Considering the village and the witch understood the importance of guardian spirits they immediately agreed. A small group including the witch went back to the docks to put the fish in the waters. When they did so they saw . . .
That the waters shimmered with all the reflected colors of the world. That shimmering coalesced into a trail that led across the waters. There in the distance a veil of fog parted and they could glimpse a mysterious island.
Well now the witch was really excited because she loved a good mystery. It was
why she was here after all. She looked to the villagers and said . . .
“Let's go on an adventure! Tonight we feast, tomorrow we have new mysteries to explore. Anyone that wants to join me is welcome to.” The group decided to take their wonderful news back to the village.
Back to the village they had all kinds of foods laid out. In fact Marilyn spotted one of her favorite foods . . .
Carrot cake, they even had a wonderful carrot salad, and a vegetable lasagna with seaweed noodles as well. She was excited to get through the food so she could get to her favorite part, dessert!
All the villagers had a wonderful time and after the feast they danced. They even pulled Marilyn into joining them dancing around
and celebrating the Festival of the Carrot. Some even brought her little gifts like . . .
A necklace of everlasting snowflakes that glittered in the light. On it hung a sacred shell for protection. If you put it up to your ear you could hear the sounds of the oceans and the guiding spirits there.
They gave her hand warmers to help keep her warm. They also gave her a gnome made device that would explode to defend her. She made sure to put that in a safe spot so that there would be no premature explosions.
She thanked them for her gifts, and as the depth of the night approached they took her to the head of the clan’s lodge to rest with promises of a home for her soon.
As to what happened next . . . well that’s another story.

Cronyn's Dwarf Tamales by Cloudrat by Leucosia This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
* 2 pounds trimmed flat, first-cut brisket * 6 dried New Mexico, Anaheim or ancho chiles * 1 14-ounce canned diced tomatoes , preferably fire-roasted * 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped * 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chili powder * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 cup Corona or Dwarven ale * 1 tablepoon canola oil
Meat Preparation:
1. Tear chiles into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Cover with hot water and let sit until softened. at least an minutes. Drain. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F . Place tomatoes and their juices, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and the drained chile pieces in a food processor. Process until
smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in beer. 3. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add brisket and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Pour the chile sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer. 4. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake for 2 hours. Stir in beans and continue baking until the meat is fall-apart tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. 5. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and pull apart into long shreds using two forks. Stir the shredded meat back into the sauce
Beer-Braised Dwarf (or Beef) Tamales
Ingredients: 2 lbs brisket prepared as shown above * Salt and pepper, to taste * 2 onions, peeled and sliced * 1 garlic bulb, cloves removed and peeled * 4 ounces dried New Mexico
chilies * 2 ounces ancho chiles * 2 ounces pasilla chiles * 2 tablespoons cumin seed, toasted * 1 tablespoons salt * 2 bags dried corn husks, about 3 dozen * 4 cups masa mix * 1 tablespoon baking powder * 2 teaspoons salt * 4 cups reserved beef broth, warm * 1 cup vegetable shortening Directions Prepare Dwarf (or beef) as above. To prepare the sauce, remove the tops of the dried chilies and shake out most of the seeds. Place the chilies in a large stockpot and cover them with water. Add the cumin, remaining sliced onion and garlic. Boil for 20 minutes until the chiles are very soft. Transfer the chiles to a blender using tongs
and add a ladle full of the chile water (it is best to do this in batches.) Puree the chiles until smooth. Pass the pureed chiles through a strainer to remove the remaining seeds and skins. Pour the chili sauce into a large bowl and add salt, stir to incorporate. Taste to check seasonings, add more if necessary. Add the shredded Dwarf (or beef) to the bowl of chili sauce, and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to use. Go through the dried cornhusks, separate them and discard the silk, be careful since the husks are fragile when dry. Soak them in a sink filled with warm water for 30 minutes to soften. In a deep bowl, combine the masa, baking powder, and salt. Pour the broth into the masa a little at a time, working it in with your fingers. In a small bowl, beat the vegetable shortening until fluffy. Add it to the masa and beat until the dough has a spongy texture. Rinse, drain, and dry the corn husks. Set
them out on a sheet pan covered by a damp towel along with the bowls of masa dough and Dwarf (or beef) in chili sauce. Start with the largest husks because they are easier to roll. Lay the husk flat on a plate or in your hand with the smooth side up and the narrow end facing you. Spread a thin, even layer of masa over the surface of the husk with a tablespoon dipped in water. Do not use too much! Add about a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center of the masa. Fold the narrow end up to the center then fold both sides together to enclose the filling. The sticky masa will form a seal. Pinch the wide top closed. Stand the tamales up in a large steamer or colander with the pinched end up. Load the steamer into a large pot filled with 2-inches of water. The water should not touch the tamales. Lay a damp cloth over the tamales and cover with lid. Keep the water at a low boil, checking periodically to make sure the water doesn‘t boil away. Steam the tamales
for 2 hours. The tamales are done when the inside pulls away from the husk. The tamale should be soft, firm and not mushy. To serve, unfold the husk and spoon about a tablespoon of remaining Dwarf (or beef) filling on top.
Ingredients
Crystalline Spiderling Silk A single fragile strand of crystalline spiderling silk.
Dark elves do not have a very tasty meat. It definatedly lacks fat and can be poisonous. For that reason, only Dark Elf blood can be used. I heard some liquors could be made out of it, but never dared to try those myself.
ZOLTAROTH'S SANQUET
Tier'Dal have a very thick and dark blood. They're all blood. And blood is tasty!
Cut 2 slices of sandwich loaf in little cubes.
Cut one clove of garlic in tiny bits.
Chop a tablespoon of parsley.
Put everything in a soup dish and distribute evenly
Take fresh Zoltaroth's blood obtained through the Teir'Dal blood extractor (or bleed a chicken if you want to do the real recipe!) and add it to the soup dish.
Optional: Add a handful of diced bacon (Dwarf or Halfling bacon are the best as the
fat gives a nice taste to the sanquet)
Let the mix coagulate a bit then cook in a frying pan in a bit of olive oil at low heat until it solidifies and turns a dark brown.
Serve hot!

Dark Feyiron Chef Champion Trophy This item can be placed on the wall in any house type.
No Feyiron Chef should be without their tasting spoon!
The problem with cooking devs is that they're big and you're bound to get leftovers, either from the meals or random unused parts from the corpses. Here are some ideas to use them up.
DEV'S BONE SOUP CASSEROLE
After cooking up all your favorite devs, you'll be left with a lot of bones. Don't throw them away but turn them into a very tasty soup.
Buttermilk biscuit: * 2 cups flour (250g) * 8g baking powder * 2 tablespoon salt * 1 tablespoon white cheese/tartar * 1/2 cup olive oil * ½ cup dry milk * 2/3 cup buttermilk * 2 teaspoon basil
Mix all and divide the dough into 6-8 balls. use the palm of your hand to flatten each ball of dough into a circular shape.
Bake 15 minutes at 450°F/230 °C
Parmesan, garlic and basil mashed potatoes
Peal and boil the potatoes for 30 min/1h until they're tender then start to mash them. Put cream, butter, garlic and basil in a saucepan and boil it.

Take large bowls and put one biscuit in it. Cover with hot mashed potatoes and cover with the dev's bones soup.
DEV'S FARCUN
If you made too many dev's sausages, or have other meat leftovers, you can cook them in a farçun (could be called stuffing in English). I won't give exact numbers of what quantity you need, it all depends of what you have around.
* meat bits (sausage bits or sausage meat are best) * greenery (old salad leaves, beet leaves and such) * bits of bread
* egg
Put greenery into a skillet filled with boiling water and let it boil for 5-10 minutes. When it's done, rinse under cold water and drain between your hands, rolling them into a ball. Chop the ball. Chop the meat Cut the bread into little dices. You can use stale bread.
Mix everything and add in the egg or eggs. Volumes should be along the lines of 2/8 meat, 4/8 greenery, 1.5/8 bread, 0.5/8 egg.
Add salt and pepper, put into a dish, cover with bread crumbs and cook for 30 minutes at 350°F/180°C (depending on size of dish).

As far as devs and community managers go, Dreamweaver is a treat! He happens to sport multiple races which will allow us to make tons of dishes just with a single community manager! This is a perfect addition to my restaurant and I hope you'll enjoy those recipes as much as I do! We'll start by arasai wings, then froglok legs, a perfect dwarf steak the various iksar recipes, an all-in-one fondue and finally, a full buffet of Dreamweaver's Smörgåsbord. Enjoy!
ARASAI WING FRITTERS
Grab an arasai Dreamweaver and pluck its wings. You can now prepare the dough. Then simply dip your wings in the dough and fry them. If you don't have arasai or fae wings, anything can go into this dough (vegetables, fruits, meat, acacia or elder flowers, mixed with pureed pumpkin, anything). As said by Maj_dul.Ouka, to use the rest of the arasai, the easier way is to make arasai feel inferior to Fae enough and they'll stew in their own hatred!
- 1 pinch of salt - 1 egg (or 1 egg white) - lukewarm water Instructions: - put the flour in a bowl, make a well and add yeast and oil - mix in while adding the water a bit at a time until it forms a ribbon - add the slighly beaten egg - wait 2 hours before use. You'll probably need to add a bit of water or milk before use (more or less depending on the texture of what you're dipping in it). You can add sugar or cinnamon to the dough for fruits.
GINGER DWARF-STEAK MARINADE WITH RUM
This marinade is a perfect way to turn a Dreamweaver Dwarf steak into an awesome meal! You can substitute beef for dwarf but dwarf is better! And as Niami said, dwarf is really best with rum!
Ingredients - 1/2 cup pineapple juice - 1/3 cup rum - 1/4 cup soy sauce - 1 to 2 small green onions (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons brown sugar - 1 tablespoon ginger (grated) - 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (crushed) - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions - Combine all ingredients in a medium non-metal bowl. - Toss to combine and let stand for 15 minutes. - Add steaks to a zip top bag. - Pour marinade over steaks, seal bag and let marinate meat for 3 to 4 hours (but no more), in the refrigerator. - If you are working with a larger piece of meat, double the recipe and marinate for 6 to 8 hours. Making this marinade 1 day in advance and storing it in the refrigerator until ready to
use will give the acids, spices, and sugar the time needed to really combine.
THRINH'S DREAMWEAVER FROGLOK LEGS, LEMONGRASS AND CHILI
Lemongrass and chili are the perfect ingredients for Mara-style Dremweaver froglok legs. You can substitute froglok by regular frog if needed!
Ingredients - Dreaweaver legs (or 4 pairs of large frog legs) - 4 lemongrass stems
- 4 cloves of garlic - 2 chilies (or more to taste) - 1 small shallot - 1 tsp curry powder - 1 tsp chicken powder

Finely chop the shallots, garlic, and chilies. - In a bowl, add the froglok legs, half the chopped ingredients, and the curry and chicken powder. Stir and let marinade for 20 minutes. - Over medium heat, add the remaining garlic and shallots to the oil. Cook for a few minutes until aromatic. - Add the froglok legs and marinade
mixture (not the juice). Cook until brown then reduce the heat. - Keep stirring until cooked through, adding the remaining lemongrass and chili in at the end. - Place on a serving plate and make sure you don t leave any of the crunchy bits in the pan! - Serve with rice and a cold beverage. Enjoy!

We will explore one recipe for each type.
Cold Fish: DREAMWEAVER'S PICKLED FROGLOK
If you don't have Dreamweaver's froglok handy you might replace it with herring.
Ingredients - 1/4 cup salt - 5 cups water, divided - 1 pound froglok fillets - 2 cups distilled or white wine vinegar - 1/4 cup sugar - 1 teaspoon mustard seed - 2 teaspoons whole allspice - 2 teaspoons black peppercorns - 3 bay leaves - 3 cloves - 1 lemon, thinly sliced - 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
Instructions * Heat 4 cups of water enough to dissolve salt. Let this brine cool to room temperature. When it does, submerge the froglok fillets in the brine and refrigerate overnight, or up to 24 hours. Meanwhile, bring the sugar, vinegar, the remaining cup of water and all the spices to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let this steep until cool.
* When the froglok have brined, layer them in a glass jar with the sliced lemon and red onion. Divide the spices between your containers if you are using more than one. Pour over the cooled pickling liquid and seal the jars. Wait at least a day before eating. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Cold Fish: DREAMWEAVER'S IKSAR GRAVLAX
If you don't have Dreamweaver's iksar handy you might replace it with very fresh salmon.
Ingredients - 1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) iksar fillet - 1 cup sugar - 1/2 cup salt - 1 teaspoon dill seeds - 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper - 2 bunches of fresh dill (don t skimp on the dill, for this is what gives gravlax its unique flavor).
While gravlax is normally prepared using an iksar fillet with the skin on, it works equally as well to use a skinless fillet if that is what is available at your local market.
Instructions * Rinse the iksar and pat dry with paper towels (if using salmon, remove any bones with tweezers) * Cut the fillet into two equal halves. * Combine the sugar and salt, then cover both sides of each fillet half with the mixture. * Wash and roughly chop the bunches of dill, stems and all. Sprinkle the flesh side of each fillet half with the dill seeds and ground pepper. * Next, place one fillet half, flesh side up, in a dish just large enough to hold it. Place the chopped dill on top of this fillet, then cover with the second half, flesh side down. It will look like you have a huge raw fish-
and-dill sandwich! * Cover the dish lightly with plastic wrap and let marinate at room temperature until the sugar-salt mixture has melted into the fillet (but no more than 6 hours. Skip this step entirely if you are making your gravlax in hot weather). * Weight Down the Gravlax: Place a small pan or plate on top of the plastic wrap-covered gravlax. Weight the plate lightly, using a few rocks or canned items. * Refrigerate the weighted gravlax for at least 2 days (48 hours) and up to a week. * Every 12 hours, turn the fish sandwich over in the brining liquid that has accumulated in the bottom of the pan to ensure that all parts are evenly marinated. Re-cover with the plastic wrap and the weighted pan and return to the refrigerator. * After curing for 2 days: Remove the gravlax from the refrigerator. Scrape off most of the dill and seasonings; pat dry with
paper towels. * Using a sharp knife, cut the cured gravlax into paper-thin slices, pulling each slice away from the skin (if your fillet has the skin on). * Layer the gravlax slices on crispbread or rye bread. Traditionally accompanied by sweet dill mustard sauce (in Swedish, hovmästarsås), gravlax also pairs well with capers and finely chopped onions as an appetizer or with a variety of garnishes on an open-faced sandwich. Gravlax can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and in the freezer for up to a month.
Cold Meat: DREAMWEAVER'S DWARF ROAST
If you don't have Dreamweaver's dwarf handy you might replace it with raindeer or caribou or a venison saddle. This dish can be served hot with a sauce or cold.
Ingredients - 4 pounds of dwarf meat - 10 tablespoons butter, divided - 1 tablespoon salt - 1 teaspoon pepper - 2 cups boiling water For the sauce: - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour - 1 cup sour cream - 1/3 cup muenster cheese, diced

Hot Fish: JANNSSON'S TEMPATION
If you don't have Dreamweaver's froglok handy you might replace it with sprat.
Note: for the real recipe, you need Swedish anchovy fillets which are sprats and not anchovies. If you can't find them in your local IKEA, try to get fresh or oiled anchovies or sardines and add the right ingredients to the mix as seen below (I don't know the amounts, just follow your gut)
Ingredients - 1 can (125 g/81 g) Froglok parts - salt - sugar - allspice (can be subtituted by 2 parts ground cinnamon, 2 parts ground cloves and 1 part ground nutmeg) - white pepper - ground laurel (tiny amount) - ground ginger (tiny amount) - ground cloves (tiny amount) - sandalwood (tiny amount) - 1 medium or large onion - at least 500 g floury potatoes - about 200 - 250 ml cream - pinch of white pepper - butter
Instructions: * If you don't have canned spiced froglok: Marinate your Froglok with spices for at least one day in a mixture of salt, sugar, allspice, white pepper, ground laurel, ground ginger, ground cloves (and sandalwood if you're fancy). The main ingredients seem to be salt, sugar, white- or black pepper and allspice. The rest are added in somewhat tiny amounts.
* Peel the onion and cut in quarters. Slice the quarters thinly and sauté in butter until soft, translucent and golden. Do not let them brown. Set aside.
* Peel the potatoes and cut them into 5 × 5 mm wide julienne strips.
* You may plunge the potato strips briefly into cold water to remove some of the starch if you like. This prevents the potato pieces from sticking together too much while the dish is cooking. Drain the strips thoroughly. * Open the can of froglok bits and drain them, reserving the canning liquid. Layer the potato strips, froglok and onion slices in a buttered, shallow casserole dish, starting and ending with a potato layer.
* Take half of the cream and mix in it 2 tablespoons of the reserved anchovy canning liquid and some freshly ground white pepper. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the casserole dish. Dot the surface with pats of butter. Bake at 200 °C for about 30 - 35 minutes.
* Take the dish out and pour over the rest of the cream. Then bake for a further 15 to 30
minutes. Note that you may not need to add all of the cream if the dish still seems very moist and watery. On the other hand, you may need to add even more cream if the dish has started to dry out too much. Keep checking the consistency every now and then during baking, especially if preparing this dish for the first time.
* Take the gratin out when it has nicely browned on top and the consistency is creamy, not watery. Serve with fresh, sliced cucumber or pickled gherkins or fresh, mixed salad.
* For a slightly lighter version of this dish, replace half of the cream with milk or beer. Also, if you like a stronger onion flavor, do not sauté the onion before adding it to the dish.
Hot Meat: DREAMWEAVER'S ARASAI MEATBALLS
If you don't have Dreamweaver's arasai handy you might replace it with any meat.
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs - 2 tablespoons butter - 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg - pepper and salt, to taste
Instructions: * Let the breadcrumbs, allspice, nutmeg, salt and pepper swell a little in the cream. * Roughly grate the onion and mix it and the breadcrumb mix well with the minced meat. * Roll meatballs from the mixture with
damp hands. * Fry the balls in butter over medium strong heat until they have a nice color. * Remove the frying pan from the heat and leave the meatballs there for 5 min under a lid.

Dwarves are fat, meaty, with an aftertaste of ale. They're best cooked in ale or can be added to sausages (see gnome recipes vol 2) or made into tamales.
SPICED OMOUGI
Dwarf must be cooked with ale. Everybody knows that. Here is a recipe of dwarf in an ale marinade. You can also cook the whole dwarf and, in that case, it s much better to wash the dwarf (and remove all hairs) and armor and then put the dwarf to marinate within its armor and then cook it in it. You ll need a full cask of beer of course!
If Omougi was already eaten, you can cook Cronyn, Brasse or another dwarf. If you lack dwarf, use topside or silverside beef. (idea proposed by Epiochia, Storms Server. According to Ubiohe, from Storms too, marinade is best with paladins)
* 1 1/2 lb (675g) dwarf
Marinade: * 2 cups of ale * 1 bay leaf * 1 teaspoon each of black pepper, ground cloves, allspice, cinnamon and salt * 1 tablespoon black treacle * 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
For the sauce: * 2 onions * 2 carrots * 2 sticks of celery * 1 turnip * Butter
To make the marinade, mix all of the ingredients together and marinade the dwarf
in it for up to 12 hours.
Put the beef and marinade in a saucepan, add enough water to cover the meat, and simmer for 3 hours. Allow to cool.
To make the sauce, prepare and chop the vegetables and sauté in butter in a frying pan for 5-10 minutes.
Add the beef stock and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Serve the meat cold and the sauce hot.

Epiphany cake, the Galette des Rois with frangipane by Leucosia This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
EPIPHANY CAKE, THE GALETTE DES ROIS WITH FRANGIPANE
It's a cake we eat in France or the Epiphany, celebrating the coming of the Magi. In South of France, a "Gateau des Rois" (King Cake) is eaten, it's a brioche with candied fruits. In the North of France, it's a "Galette des Rois" with puff pastry and frangipane.
A "fève" is put in the cake (originally a broad bead but now a porcelain or plastic figurine). The one who get the bean is the king of the day. The youngest one eating the cake hides and tells which shares is given to whom. A golden crown in paper is usually given with the cake if you buy it, for the king to wear it.
So& Here is a recipe for the Galette des rois, as made by one of the great Chiefs of France. I'll try to translate it as best as I can.
CREME PATISSIERE A LA VANILLE (vanilla custard) :
- 12,5 cl of milk (4.41 fluid ounces, 0.528 cups) - a bit of vanilla pod - 2 egg yolks - 50g of sugar (1.764 oz) - 15g of cornflour or regular fine flour (0.529 oz)
Boil the milk with the vanilla In a bowl, beat fast the egg yolks with the sugar until this mix turns white. Add the flour or cornflour without working on it. Add the boiling milk on top of the mix and beat it a little (not very fast).
Put this cream back in the pan and let it boil 1 minute while beating it so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Let the cream in the pan and work on the almond cream. CREME d'AMANDES (Almond cream)
- 167g of butter (5.892 oz) - 167g of almond powder (5.892 oz) - 167g of powdered sugar (sucre glace in French, it's a very fine sugar without granular elements) (5.892 oz) - 2 eggs - 17g of cornflour or fine flour (0.6 oz) - 1 and a half soup spoon of rum (should be around 4 tea spoons)
Knead the butter until it makes a cream. Add the almonds and sugar while kneading, then one egg each 30 seconds. Knead at a medium pace until the mix is homogeneous then add the cornflour and rum. (you can prepare this mix 8 days before
using it)
Add the cold crème pâtissière spoon by spoon. Here is your frangipane.
GALETTE DES ROIS WITH FRANGIPANE
- 600g of puff pastry (2 disks of 28cm of diameter - 11.023622047 inch ^^) (21.168 oz) - the almond cream made previously - 1 egg - 50g of powdered sugar (1.764 oz) - a round mold of 28/30 cm in diameter (whatever exists in your country and whatever is the closest from 11.023622047 inch!)
Heat your oven at 240°C (460°F, Gas mark 8) Put the first disk of pastry in your mould. Smear the circumference of with a beaten egg on 1cm.
Smear the almond cream in the middle of the pastry, without covering the part with eggs. Put your figurine in the cream. Put the second pastry disk on top of it. Press a bit the border of the 2 disks together and make some little cuts all around the border (It is called "chiqueter")
Put the cake in the fridge for 1 hour. At this stage, you can freeze the cake in a plastic bag if you want to eat it later.
Glaze the top of the cake with the beaten egg and draw lozenges on the top to decorate. Put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 240°C (460°F, Gas mark 8 ) and then 25 minutes at 200°C (392 °F, a little bit before Gas mark 6) minutes. 5 minutes before the end of the cooking phase, sprinkle the powdered sugar on it.
Eat mild.
You may adjust a bit to the lesser as there is a bit more cream as should be for a Galette. Or put a bit more to get a Pithiviers (300g of almond cream for a Galette or 400g for a Pithiviers). For the Pithiviers, put 3cm of egg on the border, the cake will be higher.

Froglocks have very very yummy legs, especially Silius. Put some big fat flies next to your froglock and catch him while he's distracted! The froglocks legs are great in the way that they're a lot bigger than regular frog legs and so way more easy to eat.
SILIUS' LEGS WITH FINES HERBES
We all know Froglock legs are highly tasty. Here is a recipe to cook Silius legs. If you run out of Silius legs, or even froglock legs, you can use regular frog legs. Of course you won't have to chop the legs into tiny pieces as they're much smaller.
* 48 pairs of frogs' legs or 2 Silius leg * 2 tablespoon vinegar * 2 cloves of garlic * 5 branches of fresh tarragon * branches of chervil * 1 bunch of chive * 1 bunch of parsley * 50cl milk * 3 tablespoon olive oil * 3 tablespoon double cream * 2 egg yolk
* salt & pepper
Wash the frogs' legs with water with vinegar and dry them Chop finely the fines herbes and garlic.
If you're using Silius legs, chop the legs in small bits. If it's regular frogs, let them whole. Poach Silius' legs in the simmering milk. Put salt and pepper and let cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Fish them out, drain them and save them in a hot platter
Gently cook the chopped herbs in a frying pan with olive oil. Add the cream, salt and pepper and let cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Don't let it boil. Remove from the fire and add the egg yolks with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Baste the Silius' legs with the hot sauce and eat.

It was my pleasure to visit this home. Thank you for your hospitality! ~ Gnobrin
Gnomes are yummy. Everybody knows that. There's some other nice things about gnomes: they are often distracted and have a high mortality rate. Thus, it's very easy to catch a gnome by giving him a cog to "fix" or to find a recently deceased one.
The best gnomes are the gnome developers. They are even more distracted than the random gnome and can be easier to catch. I especially recommend using Gninja, Frizznik or Zoltaroth for any gnome cooking.
GNINJA'S BRAIN VOL-AU-VENT
Gnomes have an overly inflated brain, as everybody knows that. Gnomish devs are the worse, so a gnome brain will definitely make a very nice dish. Remove gently the brain from our dear Gninja head to eat the most marvellous of dishes ever created!
Vol-au-vent cases * 450g/1lb puff pastry
For each vol-au-vent case: - cut one round piece of 7.5cm (3in) diameter and score the middle of it - cut a second round piece of 7.5cm (3in) diameter then cut off the middle 5.5cm (2¼ in) to form a ring of 2cm - place the ring on top of the scored round piece and glaze with an egg yolk
- bake the little round removed part alone to make a lid.
Heat the oven at 200°C (400°F). Place the cases on a flat baking tray and bake for 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown, well risen and firm. Let them get cold before starting to fill them
Vol-au-vent filling * 12 vols-au-vent cases * 1 Gninja's brain (or 2 lamb brains if you ran out of Gninjas) * 200 g mushrooms * 100 g stoned green olives * 1 bay leaf * 6 cloves of garlic * 2 tablespoon flour * 1 tablespoon butter * 1 pinch of black pepper * 1/2 teaspoon salt
Rince thoroughly the brain. Let it sweat for half an hour in water with vinegar before removing the skin and vessel strands that are around it. Cut it in 2 and then in small bits (4x2 cm). Blanch them in salted water with lemon juice for 5 minutes and let them drain.
Boil and drain the olives.
Put the brain in a stew pot with the crushed garlic, thinly sliced mushrooms, butter, salt and pepper. Let it gently cook for 10 minutes.
Add ½ litre of water, the olives and the bay leaf. Let it cook at slow fire for 30 min. Mix the flour with a little bit of water and add to the sauce.
Remove the lid of the vols-au-vent and let them reheat in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
Fill the pastry with the mix (do not overfill !) and put back the lid Baste with the remaining sauce and serve hot
FRIZZNIK WITH APPLE SAUCE
Stuffed gnome can be very nice to eat, especially Frizzniks. If you ran out of gnomes, you can use a goose!
* 1 gnome * Dwarf lard for roasting
For the stuffing * 4 oz (100g) breadcrumbs * 1 apple * 1 onion * 1/2 oz (12.5 g) chopped sage * 1 egg * Salt and pepper
For the sauce * 1/2 lb (225 g) cooking apples * 1 small onion * 1 oz (25 g) sugar * 1 teaspoon vinegar * 1 oz (25 g) breadcrumbs * Mustard * Cinnamon
To make the stuffing, separate the egg and white and beat. Mix the stuffing adding the egg white last. Stuff the gnome and roast according to weight, basting regularly. Pour off surplus fat at the end. While the goose is in the oven, prepare the apple sauce.
To make the sauce, peel and core the apples, peel and chop the onions and cook together with the sugar. When soft, add the
remaining ingredients, with stock to make up any liquid loss. Simmer for 10 minutes.
GNOME'S HAGGIS
Haggis is a traditional recipe that is usually made using sheep. But sheep is not the best for it, and you don't know how that dish can be good until you tasted a gnome's haggis. Catch a Gninja or a Zoltaroth and try it!
* 1 gnome's stomach * Gnome's pluck (heart, lungs and liver) * 1 large onion * 4 oz (100 g) grated suet * 1 lb (450 g) oatmeal * 8 oz (225 g) blanched, chopped almonds
* 1 oz (25 g) salt * Black pepper * Cayenne pepper * 1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs * 1 lemon
Prepare the ingredients first. The stomach must be washed and scraped thoroughly and soaked overnight in water. The gnome's pluck is also prepared the night before, by boiling for 2 hours in cater, with the wind pipe hanging over the edge of the pan and a bowl underneath to catch the drips. Leave in the liquor overnight.
On the day, grate the rind of the lemon and extract the juice. Toast the oatmeal and chop the onion.
Cut off the windpipe and mince the pluck. Keep the liquor.
Add the suet, onion, oatmeal and almonds, and mix well. Then add the salt, two types of pepper, herbs, lemon juice and rind, followed by the pluck liquor.
Mix thoroughly again and put into the sheep's stomach until it is half full. Sew up and pri ck with a fork.
Put into boiling water and simmer for 3 hours, pri cking again from time to time to prevent the stomach from bursting.
Make a saltire cross (the symbol of St Andrew) cut in the top and fold back the flaps before serving.

Here is the long awaited volume 2 of our yummy Gnomes recipes!
GNOME'S OR RATONGA'S KEBABS WITH PEANUTS SAUCE
Kebabs is the main way to eat gnomes or rats, everybody will tell you that. Especially Cloudrat who knows a lot about rats, or Gratouillis (but she's an ogre, so one never knows what those eat). Every time you catch a gnome, gnomekebab is on the menu. Every time you catch a ratonga, everybody thinks about it.
Cut the meat into small bits. In a big bowl, mix every ingredient and add the meat. Put the bowl in the fridge and let marinate for at least 4 hours (turning it at times).
Skewer the gnome bits and put them on the grill (barbecue or regular oven at 180°C/350°F). Let cook 5 minutes on one side and 3 on the other.
Take the leftover sauce and put it in a sauce pan and cook it for 2 minutes. You may add a bit of coconut milk so it may coat the kebabs better. Mix it if there's some little bits and pieces left in it.
Serve the kebabs on a dish, covered with the sauce and with chopped peanuts sprinkled on top.
GNOMES AND DWARVES SAUSAGES
Sausages are always good to eat. Why not make some with your local devs?
For 70 sausages * 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) of gnome (or pork) * 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) of dwarf (or beef) * 1/2 (whole not cloves) garlic * 15g (0.5 oz) salt per kg * 3g (0.1 oz) pepper per kg * 1 bunch of parsley * Mutton guts (24/26 cm diameter, 9.4-10.2 inches)
The previous day, put the guts to drain (keep the brine to put extra guts back in it).
Rinse them 2 or 3 times. Cut the meats in pieces and put them in a mincer together. Add a clove of garlic from time to time.
Weigh the meat mix to add the salt and pepper (2.5 oz salt, 0.5 oz pepper in our case, 75g/15g). Add parsley to the meat and mix the whole stuff with your hands.
Put the end of a gut on the end of a funnel and pour a little bit of lukewarm water in it. Rince twice.
Put the end of the gut on the mincer sausage nozzle and slip the whole gut around it except a small bit for the knot. Let the mix fill the gut until it reaches the desired length of the sausage then turn the gut to divide the sausages turning in one way the first time, then the other way the
second time and so on.
TAWNY ROASTED DEVS*
(submitted by Kuulei)
»2 Small Devs* » 1/4 cup orange juice » 1/4 cup olive oil » 1/2 teaspoon salt » 1/4 teaspoon pepper » 4 tablespoons parsley,chopped » 2 garlic cloves » 12 strips of bacon (Fyreflyte's bacon is nice)
Rinse Devs*, trim & pat dry.
Sprinkle with orange juice then brush with
olive oil (inside and out). Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Divide chopped parsley and garlic cloves, placing inside each cavity. Place Devs* on rack in roasting pan.
Arrange bacon strips on top; bake at 350
F for 1 hour, basting often. Remove bacon and continue baking for 30 minutes, or until breasts are browned & cooked through. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
*If Devs are not available, you may substitute pheasant or other fowl.

The halfling meat is very fat and usually sugary. Do not eat too much of it, it's very bad for the health. You can roast your halfling or serve it with jumjum sauce, but the Pie is the best way to get rid of your halfling.
PIESTRO'S PIE
This recipe is perfect to cook a Halfling. If Piestro is already cooked and you have already eaten all Halflings around, you can use mutton.
* 2 lb (1.4 kg) lean Piestro (or mutton) * 2 large onions * 2 leeks * 2 oz (50 g) unsalted butter * 1 oz (25 g) flour * Shortcrust pastry (using 1 lb/450 g flour)
Slice the onions and leeks. Put them into a saucepan with the Piestro, boil and simmer for about an hour until the Piestro is tender. Strain and keep the liquor.
Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and put
with the vegetables into an 8 inch deep pie pan.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and stir in the flour. Gradually add 2 cups of the liquor, stirring constantly. Bring to the boil then cool slightly before adding to the pie pan. Allow to cool.
Now cover with the shortcust pastry, trim and make vents for the steam to escape. Brush with milk and bake in a faily hot oven at 400°F for 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to moderate at 350°F/180°C and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

High Elf recipes by Leucosia This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
High Elves are not very tasty as the meat is extra lean. They do make some nice and crispy bacon, of way higher quality than the dwarf bacon usually used for cooking. Of course, Fyreflyte's bacon is the best bacon around!
FISH AND CHIPS WITH HIGH ELF BACON SAUCE
This is the perfect dish if you have some extra Fyreflyte's bacon!
Fish and chips
* 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into strips * 1 cup all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon baking powder * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 teaspoon ground black pepper * 1 cup milk * 1 egg * 1 quart vegetable oil for frying * 1 1/2 pounds cod fillets
Place potatoes in a medium-size bowl of cold water. In a separate medium-size mixing
bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk and egg; stir until the mixture is smooth. Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the potatoes in the hot oil until they are tender. Drain them on paper towels.
Dredge the fish in the batter, one piece at a time, and place them in the hot oil. Fry until the fish is golden brown. If necessary, increase the heat to maintain the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) temperature. Drain well on paper towels.
Fry the potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness.
Sauce:
* 100g (0.22 pd) of Fyreflyte's bacon (High Elf bacon is very lean) * 1 shallot * 25cl (1 cup) of single cream
Cut the bacon into thin slices and fry them in a bit of butter
Add in the thinly sliced shallot Deglaze with wine vinegar.
Add in the cream and bring to the boil then let it reduce for 5 minutes.
Serve hot with the fish and chips.

This house was created for a strange purpose and I will try to explain it to you, so you may enjoy your stay better.
One year ago, in spring 2011, our dear and beloved dev Gninja, created a live event for reconstructing the druid ring and spires of Velious. A lot of testers were not happy and went back to the common test practice: crafting gnomish voodoo dolls and sticking more or less rusty pins in them. I thought this practice was way outdated and started to think about something better...
and I found it!
I always liked to cook my fellow players, especially froglocks. But gnomes do make tasty dishes too... and guess what Gninja
was? A GNOME! I also had this cute house from when we had to test the prestige housing system...
So I had this perfect idea: creating a house to trap, slaughter, cook and eat Gninja! I even added some more recipes for eating other devs, so he doesn't feel alone in our well-filled stomachs!
Then time went by. Lots of things to test, no ideas about how I could make it... And finally building blocks were added. It was a time consuming process, but I DID found how to create my perfect house...
So here is the house, and here's how to use it.
To cook a Gnomish Dev, especially one as tricky as Gninja, you'll need to prepare yourself.
1/ create the perfect bait: Launch an advertising campaign around the target house or office with sensational wording. Exemple: "Grand Opening of the Museum of Cogs! You always dreamed of seeing all the cogs of the world in a single place in all their glory? You want to discover a marvellous tinkered vehicle? You want to see all the tools, armours and cloaks that would mark you as the best tinkerer around? Come and visit this dreamlike place, in the magnificent Maj'Dul Suite of Qeynos, Test Server, under Leucosia! All gnomes welcome especially devs!
Non-gnomish developers are encouraged to come and visit with their gnomish friends!"
2/ create your trap: Put a big sign advertising your Museum of Cogs. Build the museum with every cog available. Add a cute (for a gnome) device , like a tinkered vehicle. You could build an automated mincer but it would probably be a bit too obvious. Add in a bunch of tools, cloaks and other tinker gear.
When the gnome will enter the house, he'll start hoping around every cog display. When he's the most distracted, grab a carefully hidden knife and stab him in the back. If other developers decided to visit, hit them hard with a heavy cog on the head (gnomes
are immune) while they cower in a corner seeing their gnomish friends have fun, waiting for an explosion.
3/ quickly snatch the gnome away through the back door and put them in a pen. Don't forget to shackle them, little beasts are devious.
4/ If you want to use the brain, use first the Gnomish brain extractor, and don't forget to remove the body after removing the brain. Cut them into big pieces with the big Dev Cleaver, then chop them down with the axe or with the smaller Dev Cleavers. You can mince part of the meat or extract dev's juice in the Tier'Dal Juice extractor and mincer. If your gnome has put in a bit of fat, you can make him propel the device first, as gnomes are a bit alternative for hamsters. You can also use other kind of annoying
things like Qhos or Nathans. This device is very good at extracting Teir'Dal blood to make sanquet, spirits or poisons.
5/ after catching, killing and cutting your gnome in pieces, it's time for the cooking. You'll need a very big kitchen with a big spit (if you catch barbarians), massive pots, an oven, a grill, a big fridge and, of course, a dev-sized toaster. Don't forget to stock up some beer if you want to cook dwarves, and some more if you want to catch them too!
Recipe books are on the work surface (they're totally serious recipes btw, you can eat them just fine after substituting
the various races for the actual animal used)
6/ You should keep a little place for burying your favourite dev, like a big mausoleum for our beloved Gninja. Don't forget to write down cute epitaphs for this nice little dev, and always pay your respects to his memory.
7/ build a grand restaurant that will have 2 goals: First, eating your gnome with friends in a nice setting, with cushions, music, flowers, fount and such. Don't forget to personalize your greeting cards!
Second, catching some more devs, like Cronyn or other dwarves by making them drink A LOT of beer!
ENJOY!
TO GNINJA
I hope you'll enjoy this house I made for you. We clearly don't agree on our vision of the game, but the most important things remain: having fun, and talking. You are, in my opinion, one of the best devs around, because you explain your choices, talk with the players, and don't hesitate to
take the blame if you make a mistake. You also always take care of the Test community, which is not very common nowadays. You're the one that spawned turkeys at Frostfell and created a special item for us to level when Skyshrine went out for example. You're always very kind and responsive and that's appreciated.
I always planned to keep on playing. Now I know I'll have to quit when the PSS1 deal will come through as I refuse to create an account with a third party company. It's hard to keep on playing knowing that I'll soon leave, but I wanted to take the time to finish and polish this house for you, hoping you'll have some fun visiting it and that you'll enjoy your mausoleum ;p
The whole idea was to have some fun and I sure hope you will and will remember it later when merciless players/testers will start
sticking pins into poor little gnomish dolls once more!
Keep on your good work!

This recipe is brought to us by Rivervale.Emmaa. Kimchi is a traditional Korean preparation of fermented cabbage. It's usually stored in earthenware container underground to preserve the cabbage through the winter. Just toss in a gnome and you're golden.
The following recipe uses small bits of gnome and cabbage, but you can use whole vegetables and a whole Gninja instead.
This could be a grand experiment: How long does it take to fully ferment and tenderize a gnome? Throw in some spices and cabbage and it's practically a crock-pot meal!
KIMCHI'D GNOME
If you're sadly fresh out of gnome, you can use squid instead!
First of all, prepare the gnome (a week before): - Choose about 300 grams (2/3 pound) of very fresh gnome. - Remove the guts and bones and rinse it. - Add 3 tbs salt and mix it with a spoon. - Put it in a container or glass jar and keep it in the refrigerator for a week. - Rinse the gnome thoroughly until not slippery and drain it (you can skin it if you want). - Dry the gnome with paper towel or cotton and chop it up.
- Add it to your kimchi paste!
Kimchi ingredients Ingredients - Baechu (napa cabbage 10 pounds) - salt - sweet rice flour - sugar - water - garlic - ginger - onion - fish sauce - gnome - hot pepper flakes - leek - green onions - carrot
- radish
Instructions
-Trim the discolored outer leaves of 10 pounds of napa cabbage.
- Cut the cabbage lengthwise into quarters and remove the cores. Chop it up into bite size pieces.
- Soak the pieces of cabbage in cold water and put the soaked cabbage into a large basin. Sprinkle salt. (tip: 1 cup of salt will be used for 10 pounds of napa cabbage)
- Every 30 minutes, turn the cabbage over to salt evenly (total salting time will be 1½ hours).
- 1½ hours later, rinse the cabbage in cold water 3 times to clean it thoroughly.
- Drain the cabbage and set aside.
Make porridge
- Put 3 cups of water and ½ cup sweet rice flour (chapssal garu) in a pot and mix it well and bring to a boil. Keep stirring until the porridge makes bubbles (about 5 minutes).
- Add ¼ cup sugar. Stir and cook for a few more minutes until it s translucent.
- Cool it down.
Make kimchi paste
- Place the cold porridge into a large bowl. Now you will add all your ingredients one by one.
- Add 1 cup of fish sauce, 2.5 cups of hot pepper flakes (depending on your taste), 1 cup of crushed garlic, 1-2 tbs of minced ginger, 1 cup amount of minced onion. (tip: much easier to use a food processor.)
- Wash and drain the salty gnome. Chop it up and add it to the kimchi paste.
- Add 10 diagonally-sliced green onions, 2
cups amount of chopped leek, 2 cups of julienned Korean radish, and ¼ cup of julienned carrot.
- Mix all ingredients well and your kimchi paste is done.
Action! Mix the cabbage with the kimchi paste!
- Put the kimchi paste in a large basin and add all the cabbage. Mix it by hand. (tip: If your basin is not large enough to mix all the ingredients at once, do it bit by bit.)
- Put the kimchi into an air-tight sealed plastic container or glass jar. Press down on the kimchi until the brine (the liquid that comes out) rises to cover the vegetables, leaving at least 1 inch of space at the top. Seal the jar.
- Let it ferment for 1 to 5 days. Place a bowl or plate under the jar to help catch any overflow. Let the jar stand at cool room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for 1 to 5 days. You may see bubbles inside the jar and brine may seep out of the lid.
- Check it daily and refrigerate when ready. Check the kimchi once a day, opening the jar and pressing down on the vegetables with a clean finger or spoon to keep them submerged under the brine. (This also releases gases produced during fermentation.) Taste a little at this point, too! When the kimchi tastes ripe enough for your liking,
transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
You may eat it right away, but it's best after another week or two (and it gives time for the gnome to be perfectly fermented!)

Frosftell Elfs mostly appear only during the month of Deepice for the Frostfell festivities, bearing gifts and good cheer to all of Norrath. On rare occasions, they are known to celebrate Frostfell in July as well, though.
Frostfell Elfs are originally seen to be the creation of the desire of the people to celebrate their kin. The sheer wish made them to be light creatures who live in the heavens. Frostfell Elfs have been depicted as male or female, tiny or dwarf-like, youthful and immortal with magical powers. Later they were often referred to as living underground, in forests, springs and wells. Frostfell Elfs generally were magical beings who could control what people see as well as
experience. Frostfell Elfs are also highly associated with the mushroom Amanita Muscaria also referred to as magic mushrooms not only in art but in religious experiences.
Frostfell Elfs already a tradition associated with story telling and magic, were before the Shattering revealed by the Halasians that their true purpose was to spread joy and cubes. The Frostfell Elfs could be helpful however their mischievousness was still event in story telling. Tales suggested that how you were treated by the Frostfell Elfs depended on whether the person was thought to be naughty or nice! Particularly in Antonica the diminutive, green with pointy ears type are depicted as making toys in the workshop of Santa Glug in Frostfell Wonderland Village.
More Folklore about the Lera'Dal
According to some legends and post-Halasian folklore especially in Qeynos, Frostfell Elfs are mischievous pranksters who make special appearances during the lead up to Frostfell. For example Albtraum is a Halasian word for nightmare which also means elf dream . Earlier the word meant elf pressure as it was believed that nightmares are the result of a Frostfell Elf sitting on the dreamer s head! Frostfell Elfs also were believed to braid people s hair while sleeping, make milk sour and run off with sausages. People of Halas, Everfrost and Vellious believed that a bowl of porridge left out would prevent Frostfell Elfs from playing tricks on people especially during the festive season! Today, Elfs associated with Frostfell are symbols to remind children to be good and not naughty!
In the modern world we now have the latest Frostfell Elf defenders. They say they are
commissioned to protect the spirit of Frostfell. Their dress code is still green and red and they declare to be are armed with elf intellect, tools, charm and good looks. They defend the spirit of Frostfell against naysayers including goblins, heat mizers, scrooges and of late pure commercialism. They are sworn by the Frostfell Elf code and must remain unseen whilst defending the spirit of Frostfell!

Majestic Stag Ice Sculpture This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
I write this tome as my twilight years fall upon me. There is much I have seen in my life, both good and ill. Chief among the lessons I have learned is that there must be balance in all things. The greatest joy would mean nothing unless we have also known the deepest sorrow.
In the days of my youth, I relished the glory of batter. My only goal was to master every form of combat I could, and this became the focus of my life. Eventually I achieved that goal, only to find it empty. Mastery of war means nothing unless we can truly appreciate the knowledge of peace.
It was never my goal to lead others. The style of the Whistling Fists was created for me alone. But i soon realized that others had a hunger for the same lessons I had learned, and I felt it was my duty to share my knowledge with others who would be able to use it to better our would. It is a burden to which I have devoted my life, and soon I shall pass this obligation on to you.
The Whistling Fist Clan is not about battle or conquest. Such things are as ephemeral as the wind, and victory in warfare lasts only for the blink of an eye. Our order serves a greater purpose. We are watches, standing between the candles and the stars. When the time is right we are needed, we must act with swiftness and certainly. And when our word is done, we must stand watch again to guard the balance between the darkness and the light.
It is not our way to seek personal glory. We remain in the shadows until the time is right to walk in the light. Let your actions speak for you, not your words or your dress. I have worn a simple crimson robe since the founding of our order, and it has severed me well.
Our order will need new blood if it is to fulfill its purpose. Seek out other who could benefit from our knowledge, and if they prove worthy , bring them into our circle. This is how I found all of you, my brothers and sisters, and it is a method that will serve you well in the years to come.
Protect the isle of Mara and safeguard our monastery. The song that led us to this place told me that our island has a story yet to be told. Like all things, this shall reveal itself in time.
Never forget that you first duty is to defend the weak and give aid to the helpless. Though we should relish the solitude of our stores, it is good to walk the roads of Norrath from time to time. Isolation can help maintain our focus, but it must be balanced with an active role in the events of the world. Let our actions speak for us, rather than seeking glory from our order.
To you, my honored brothers and sisters, I bequeath the few material goods I possess. A pattern for making robes that you may find useful. A tome that I call the Code of the Whistling Fists, which further details many of the principles I have touched upon in this missive. A small idol from my days with the Combine, a reminder to trust myself and my kin rather than place faith in the fleeting empires of man. And last of all, my simple flute, which has brought me many hours of pleasure on my journey through this life.
Remain strong, my brothers and sisters. May you know joy and sorrow, darkness and light, and always relish the balance between them.

On Founding the Conservatory This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Some time ago, I heard rumors of an exceptional discovery made by the adventurers of Norrath. Through all the tribulations and terrors facing the world, they found a truly remarkable gem thought lost for eternity - the menagerie of Miragul.
As exciting as this news was to those of us who had heard the rumors of this magnificent collection, there was no way to safely explore the find - it crawled with all manner of creatures, some living, some animated with unlife, and some that supposedly came from planes not of our own.
My attempts to hire bodyguards or buy my way into an adventuring party were rebuffed, as no one wanted to take an inexperienced researcher into a place such as that. For a maddeningly long time, the Menagerie was cut off to all of us who would attempt to catalog and preserve what we found there.
It wasn't until recently that we were able to find and hire mercenaries willing to accompany us to the frozen north and lead us to the treasures we had sought for so long. I admit, the toll in life was... higher than I would have liked, but the sacrifice bore fruit. We found the Menagerie, and the creatures it still held.
Although it clearly held many more creatures than we found still housed within, the ones that we found were remarkable. But even more incredible were the notes Miragul left behind, regarding his own research and experiments - the most fascinating of which seemed to regard a bonding technique. Miragul referred to this bond as a 'familiar' - a creature that was able to share a piece of its essence with its handler, increasing their own powers and abilities. Incredible!
With the notes in hand, we gathered what creatures that we could, and left the Menagerie - as much as it pained me, that place was too dangerous to remain at indefinitely. So instead, I took my own fortune and built the keep that we now call home. Within, we set up what we affectionately call the Conservatory, where we dedicate ourselves to the care and preservation of the creatures we pulled from the Menagerie.
Here, we will continue the research started by Miragul, and hope to build on the knowledge already found by one of the greatest minds ever to grace Norrath.
What follows is an incomplete list of the creature we pulled from the Menagerie. A more complete list will be provided when Steward Aelin and her Attendants finish their cataloging of what we have discovered.

Ratongas are a nice meal, loved by every Kerra on Norrath. You can cook them with cheese sauce of course. You can also make kebabs of them or roast them using the 'Tawny Roasted Devs' recipes (recipes in "gnome recipes vol 2").
HONEY GLAZED TTOBEY
Ratonga is very nice with honey. In this recipe, we'll explore the nice taste of a fillet of Ttobey glazed with honey. If you lack ratonga, you can use a duck fillet instead. (Idea proposed by Zikmu, Storms Server)
Put the vinegar and cornflour in a bowl and mix them. Add in the honey and soy sauce. Incise the fat of the fillet with a knife Pour the marinade on the fillet and put it in the fridge for at least 2h, turning it over a couple of times.
Cook the ratonga fillet in a frying pan for 5 minutes on the fat side, then 2 minutes on the other side.
Put the marinade in a dish, and place the fillet on top. Put it in an oven preheated at 180°C/350°F. Let cook for 8 minutes and baste with the marinade midway.
Serve it sliced with rice or vegetables (red pepper, bamboo shoots, small corns and such). You can cook the vegetables in the leftover marinade.
TTOBEY'S CROQUETTES
There is a very good and easy way to eat ratongas, croquettes! Some people, like our friend Griffu from Storms, like to serve them hot with a dwarf sauce, minced berserk powder and SK coulis but it may be a bit hard to create. I prefer my ratonga's croquettes with plain tomato sauce. This recipe is also great for eating gnomes!

I'll 'splain Big Bend. In here we rule, The favourites of Cazic-Thule. He's not 'round much, so some trolls say The Inkie god's who we should pay. But hate is weak. We worship fear.

The Case of the Curious Coalition Housing Inspector
While walking through Longshadow Alley in Freeport, I encountered a very curious Coalition Housing Inspector. It is rather odd to encounter a housing inspector in any of Freeport;s foreign housing districts. The Overlord's government does not attend to the upkeep of most of these districts, that is quite obvious by the appearance of any of these neighborhoods. So I find it odd to meet Inspector Rylana struggling to answer my questions about her business in Longshadow Alley. I do not trust her words. Perhaps I should follow her and see what she is really up to.
I followed Inspector Rylana to a broken down house in Longshadow Alley. True, there are many broken down houses in this district, but in this particular rubble filled dwelling, the inspector found something that interested her. I went to take a look at what might interest the Coalition Housing Inspection and found a bedroll. This bedroll was quite elaborate, not the bedding of the common folk of this neighborhood. The patchwork blanket appeared to be formed of silk and scales. Such an odd pairing of fabric and hide is usually reserved for the eccentric citizens of Freeport.
Inspector Rylana's curious trek through Longshadow Alley did not end in the broken down dwelling where I found the odd bedding. I shadowed the inspector to a boarded up house. It was obvious this home was condemned, but with so many condemned houses, why should an inspector stop at one and ignore the rest? I crept towards the boarded up door to have a look at what interested the inspector. Resting upon the ground was one of the planks of wood that used to board up the door. There were curious runes on the board, magic script. I am no supreme scholar of the Academy of Arcane Science, but I do believe this was some form of coded communique.
The Coalition Housing Inspector strolled down to the malodorous docks of Longshadow Alley. Why would a housing inspector bother with the port? Certainly, they do not consider the pier to be a dwelling, even though it acts as one to the many homeless Teir'Dal immigrants. No, she came here for other reasons. She glanced over a tattered parchment that was tossed upon the dock. I took a look for myself and found that it was a forgotten shipping manifest. It belonged to a ship called the 'Nerius Breaker.' It made an unannounced stop in Longshadow Alley to receive some kegs of elixir from the local magic shop. The ship has long since raised anchor.
It seemed as though Inspector Rylana had to make a withdrawal from the local bank, for that is where she next led me to. After observing her from afar, I noticed that the withdrawal she had to make was not in Freeport currency, but rather, in clues. Being a bit of a sleuth myself, I took a look at what she spent her time inspecting. There was an ornate cashbox in the bank hall. It looks as though the clerks had been busy unloading whatever was inside. Someone had made a large deposit and it was not a local resident by the looks of the craftsmanship of the cashbox. Whoever dropped this off was either very rich or in some very big debt.
I thought I might shadow Inspector Rylana a bit more, as she has the starring role in my current investigation notes. As before, my actions were rewarded. The inspector stopped off in the local blacksmith's shop. She had a few harsh words for the smithies as she pointed to an object in the rear of the shop. I went to take a look at what could raise the fury of a housing inspector. What I found was an ornate dagger. The blade was lined with magic runes and if my memory serves me well, the symbol on the handle was none other than the symbol of the Academy of Arcane Science. Such a grand item is not intended for battle, but rather, the wall of a sorcerer supreme.
Inspector Rylana continued her so called inspection of the Longshadow Alley. I was not surprised to see her next stop led me not to a housing complex, but rather to The Bauble, the local magic shop. She entered the arcane depository requesting to see export logs. Her reasons for doing so seemed to persuade the scribe, but I am sure his words are filled with lies. I took a look at the logs as well and found that the shop had exported a large crate with a rust monster inside to a ship called the "Nerius Breaker." This was the ship I read about at the docks, but it was supposed to be picking up kegs of elixir, not a rust monster.
I had some doubts about Inspector Rylana of the Coalition Housing Inspection and it seems that my doubts were reinforced by the evidence of my investigation. It is my belief that the inspector is a government servant, but not one bound to the Coalition of Tradesfolke. I believe she is a special agent of the Freeport Militia or the Overlord! She seemed to be undercover and on the trail of a fugitive. This fugitive must hail from the Academy of Arcane Science's arch mages. That mage must have also paid a high price to escape Freeport under the watch of the Freeport Militia. But my investigation is complete. Inspector Rylana is no housing inspector. Case closed.

2. The pages of an ancient tome Have scattered, lost, outside his home It's vital that we get them back So look, and search, perhaps attack The ones who might have taken these And with your skills they're found with ease But that's been done. So for today That's not what you must take away. Instead, you'll get, with all due speed The place where he might go to read.
3. This time of year, for something sweet, There's just the place to go. You'll find a lot that you can eat If you look for the glow But bring back what you must defeat That's what you need to show.
4. Those whose loyalties are misplaced Can very easily be erased If they won't serve the Overlord, Then others will be brought aboard. Erudite and Kerran strife - We'll go in,make sure it's rife Some have noticed things are stirred - One fight makes sure they won't be heard. And then, so things will be improved, Both leaders need to be removed. Success! They're gone, put in the ground And new, more loyal ones are found. And so, for helping with your sword, You've earned this for your reward. For aiding those who serve and fight This will stand to show their might.

8. A group of those who still were short Once ran the streets of Beggar's Court One day they discovered trouble: Their neighbourhood would soon be rubble But then they found a treasure map: They'd keep their homes from being scrap! They burned some eyebrows, ate some bread And followed it to where it led, Right to some pirates, and their ship Then running, startled, they would trip The trigger wire - boulders fell And smashed their foes - their ship as well,
Which poured out platinum, and gold For treasure hunters not so old. "We've saved the Court!" "Don't be so dumb! We're rich enough to leave this slum!" Although the Court was rather seedy, Perhaps if they were not so greedy Just a bit better behaved, Beggar's Court might have been saved. Alas, it's ruined, homes erased, But still their path can be retraced. Bring back what has, upon their trail, The first two pages of their tale.
9. Cubes keep our fair safe, Owlbears out and faces on They deserve a hug.

Three clues for adventures in Qeynos Hills, Four within the city standing bright, Two where novices may hone their skills, Three where lie those fallen from life's light. Go begin your searching where amusement fills. One clue in gnollish halls, one clue where bones creep, One clue where thunder calls, and one clue in the knights' keep. Then return your treasures where amusement fills.
1. I yearn for figs and sycamore, Black walnut and raw thyme, But I have searched wood, plain and shore And they no longer climb As once they did, in days of yore, When they were in their prime. So gather what, from grassy floor, I'll eat, but cannot rhyme.
2. One den of treasure, one of food Some seek among the canine brood. The third is where they rest their head Don't wake them, or your face they'll shred If you don't quickly flee aloft Right after you get something soft.
3. The cubes down here must not be harmed The rats, that is less so. Their queen lurks here, don't be alarmed Just bring one from below.
4. They work away (I know not why) For homes for refugees That Qeynos guards no longer pry, A-drifting, from the seas. Get one of what, with sweat and cry, They from the hill did ease.
5. The Qeynos Guard, with gnollish plans, Was sent out on alerts: Go take away their piled junk And hit them where it hurts.
6. Outside their hive they lurk, over the stair Don't mind the smell of undead in the air One deadly shell get (or two, I don't care)
7. O sweet, wubbly cubes! Friendliest in all Norrath! I shall come hug you!
8. A shard of bone I came to own In days gone by From ones like these near bluish seas That scurry, spry, Where charter torn that lies forlorn A rogue might spy.
9. It's neat what else that you can do With Foster's slimy haul. Instead of cutting out their glands Just stick them on the wall!
10. We used to get from Saberteeth The spit we'd use to brew. Alas! those days, they are no more But now there's purple stew!
11. Wubbly and hungry! I better bring some cookies When I come hug you.
12. A fight! A fight has broken out! We should be safe here from the guard. But no, I hear the soldiers shout I'll leave my drink (but take a card).
13. Although the Overlord we spurn, About his city we should learn And what is found inside the tome That's given to whom Freeport's home.
14. O woe! the stone! it sqwisheth not! The water's far too clean! So when thou takest some of it It lesseneth the sheen.
15. If one might sit and smoosh a cube (WHICH YOU SHOULD NEVER DO!) It might look quite a bit like these That slide along and through The paths where undead creatures lurk From whence you'll carry two.
16. An erudite with riddles four Once stood nearby the Coldwind shore And after listening to his voice Of calling points I'd have a choice When fire, water, earth, and air Had been combined in graven ware. Essential to all those who live Is what you must collect and give. Clear, dark, or weak, or strong Is what you'll need to take along. It gives the land its shape and form Both slowly and by sudden storm. Near where once worked a small brass key You'll find the answer to these three.

Here's a task Qeynosians beat: They harvested all fish and meat, Found each food and mined each ore, (No cheating; they weren't from the store) Then they chopped some maple wood, But not for Hwal, though boots are good. Then a pelt, the gems, and root But we've long had a neat rock suit. Through Antonica they'd roam, Not forgetting salty loam. But you need anything that's rare: We've saved that for the evil fair. Then keep it for when you will go Back to the start - it's not for Qho!
4. Once you found her ancient port She seemed a rather friendly sort Now that you've dug up her bubbly, She'll let you have what's almost wubbly.
5. Floating as they please, I see them in the trees. For practice with my bow, I'll take one as I go.
GROUP B
1. From the sea they fished us out, Adventurers, then mage or scout, Or fighter, or not in the least, Some became a healing priest. We, now back upon dry land, Chose the Queen or Lucan's band, Having learned to swing a sword, Cast a spell, and craft a board, We fought some goblins with the guards, Not yet crusaders, shamans, bards, Put undead back in the grave, And schemers hid inside a cave. Explored dark woods and undersea, Found the gnome his whatsits three, (Later giant hawk or ooze, Merchants selling special booze, Goblin tree and mole rat's bark, Vicious octopus or shark) Finally aboard their boat, To Freeport walls or Qeynos moat Though not allowed within the gate, For one more quest did then await.
The guards would not yet let us in Since we were not a citizen. Off to the sunken city street, Or graveyard or the bog of peat, Then back, now having passed the test For these two cities, Norrath's best. Some would fight the gnolls for good By Fippy's Hill and Archer Wood, While others journeyed on the plain With orcs as foes, an endless bane. And as they travelled all around They found that notes with tasks abound Snakes or spiders, seeping ooze, Shrilling bats or gloom snakes choose, Then once fulfilled, now feeling bold, They turned the order in for gold, So to the forest take a stroll And from the table pick a scroll As thanks for all the skills they taught, And did it in the way they ought.
2. These could be for the Guurok, If we could visit him. Perhaps I'll see him someday So I'll go take a swim.
3. There was a ship that sailed the sea It once was one, but now is three. (But not the ship that brought us here: It still is one, but gone, I fear.) So take a look and be astute, For there could be some long-lost loot.
4. Antonica and Commonlands and on to Kelethin The griffon and the boat you could both use just anywhen But till you had this, druids simply would not let you in.
5. While on the beach and hunting crab, I soon discovered something drab: Just a bone, a sandy shard. Something else that I'll discard. Wait! What's this? There's some design On this item from the brine. Could the other crabs have more As they scurry on the shore? Yes! The others have them, too! Now what shall I use for glue? I can use the fishes' skin, Won't even have to gather ten. Then I'll take another look At what I found and what I took. The goblins, they should have a cord: Got it! What a nice reward! Very useful scrimshaw token, Now that it's no longer broken. I have long moved on from here: Hunting orcs both far and near. I found on one a stony wedge But with, alas, the dullest edge.
From what I learned before I grew, I know exactly what to do! Five giants slain for whetting stones, And undead pirates for their bones Now all I need to make it rip: Hide of an elephant for grip. You fowl will soon feel mighty pain! Flee from me! I'll be your bane!
6. They're cooking here, so go retrieve A spark of the hot. But too bad troll Chef Gorga Cannot enter her pot.

The First Annual Halasian Highland Games Scavenger Hunt Official Clues by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
In the days when the Combine Empire ruled over much of Norrath, there arose a mighty warrior named Zan Fi. Little is known of his past, for despite all his talents, Zan Fi was extraordinarily humble and spoke few words about his life. We know from his deeds, however, that he was a master of many forms of combat, perhaps more than any who had come before him. It is said that he was equally skilled with swords, bows, maces, halberds, staves, axes, and any other weapon one could name.
Zan Fi also had a natural affinity for magic, with a far greater understanding of its ways than most mortals could hope for. Of special interest to him was the way bards could weave magic into their songs. It is said that Zan Fi's voice alone could cast a spell potent enough to stop an enemy in its tracks.
Yet Zan Fi was not satisfied with mastering the martial techniques of others. He began talking bits and pieces of other styles, assembling them over the years to form his own form of combat. It was a form of grace and elegance, of carefully applied force tempered with wisdom. He would eschew the reliance upon heavy armor, instead training his own body to withstand a degree of punishment that would cause most beings to crumble. He refused to rely upon most weapons, for he believed that anything crafted by mortals could not be relied upon. Instead, he trained his fists to be weapons, practicing until they were more durable and deadly than the strongest steel.
After all his training Zan Fi still felt there was something missing. After much meditation, he realized what would make his combat style complete. He applied bardic songs to his very fists, enchanting them with melodies of swiftness and power. Zan Fi called this his Whistling Fists style, and those who saw it in practice were filled with awe.
Though Zan Fi developed the Whistling Fists style of combat only for his personal use, word of it quickly spread and others began to come to him seeking training. The master was very selective as to whom he would train; would-be students had to prove worthy not only physically, but spiritually and mentally as well. With a select band of devoted followers, Zan Fi founded the Whistling Fists clan, which was first order of fighting monks on Norrath.

THE CLUES ------------------
1. Beneath the city, they're a pest: At killing stuffs, you are the best! Make dead gone these horrid beasts In Norrathland they must decrease! Bring one back - oh, one more thing, Be sure to also splat their king.
2. Long ago, a mysterious mage Lived within the Combine Age Today we know about his tale From scrolls found in a keg for ale. Solving conundrums was his aim, He mastered next the Yellow Flame Not telling much of later acts, The scrolls describe his artefacts: Wondrous stories in that keg, Of crystal rabbit, cup, and egg. But now, it seems, this story's lost, Around the land its pages tossed Seek out where they've been dispersed Go bring back what has the first.
3. Many rescued on the seas Have come ashore as refugees But many are not seen again: They hide within, and then are slain Their journey should not be so hard And so this task falls to the guard Slay their killers, option one - Or another plan which could be done: Perhaps they wouldn't want to be Within a place where they can't see Maybe we'll avert this plight If the halls were not so bright.
4. Many creatures lurk below My studies have a problem, though. I'm studying the ones about, How they compare to those without. All my specimens have fled Much easier if they were dead. But I am not the fighting sort, For you this work would be quite short. Today, though, that is not your role What you need is the control.
5. Above the shop, there is an elf Who'll cut your hair for fees But long ago, in former times, His other goods held keys. Without the washes, resins, oils And tempers made from these There was nothing to be made All crafting would just freeze. For this task, choose carefully: You need the wax of bees.
6. If you need the finest hops They won't be found in any shops You will have to take a trip And once you're there, will give a tip. Except today, she isn't here Since it is not that time of year No farmer's there who will impede Your task to bring back where they feed.
7. Those who have the expertise Build what's needed for the seas There you'll find upon the wall What might help you not to fall.
8. An erudite with riddles four Once stood nearby the Coldwind shore And after listening to his voice Of calling points I'd have a choice When fire, water, earth, and air Had been combined in graven ware. Examine what surrounds us all, Aloft, hold up the vessel, tall Where there is more, it seems like less Revel in its nothingness.
9. Festive wubbly cubes Keeping us safe from owlbears We shall give you hugs.

2. When there's a tear, or break, or scuff, He'll sew and fasten, join and buff And while he fixes every rip Those nearby might have a tip He will, of course, impose a charge Since some supplies can be quite large But let's see what he's put away Could these be used for storing fae?
3. Down here most everything's a ghost The tents, the dwarves, the gnollish host And if they're dead, they need not eat So you can go retrieve their heat.
4. Once you came into the town You learned his pet had broken down But what he needs is at no store Maybe you'll retrieve the ore? It's very rare. It's from the moon. Please hurry back. He needs it soon. But what's it look like? You've not seen. He says it's... erm... well, it's... it's green.
5. First some solvent, then a clue And then they send me off to Wu Then books and ledgers get me in If I want to join their kin From one whose loyalties did change I found a rune that's rather strange It's from the Obelisk of Blight And made a portal to a fight A simple staff that's made of wood? She wanted better. That's no good. And now she she says to take a box What is it? Gold? Or gems? Or socks? And then some enemies to kill Those who wish the family ill And finally, retrieve a gem - Assassins here for me! Not him! With all these tasks that I have done I'll take revenge on everyone. I've been set up! I won't be beat! I'll steal what's right beneath her feet!
6. He's very worried about their cook So asked you to go take a look It turns out she made her escape, Confronted by an elder ape Now he's a very happy guy He's glad she's back, with berry pie It's very tiring, delving deep So find where he will get some sleep.

5. You learned what things are all around, Ore and roots, food from the ground You'll next learn what is made from these: This recipe should be a breeze. With metals (and a little luck) The anvil with a hammer's struck.
6. The marvellous, new wooden doll Was thrown, unwanted, with a fall Through the grate to down below - But now she wants it, so I go. Lost in here, with clothes all tattered, I wrote my tale, but it was scattered. My task has failed, but you'll be done When you bring back what has page one.
7. Although his old place was torn down He still sells goods within the town. You often need to plan ahead: It takes some time to bake his bread. Today, since time is what you lack Instead enjoy a citrus snack.

9. Many wubbly cubes Keep their guard under Freeport Thank them with a hug.

GROUP A
1. Come on in and have a beer Forget about your troubles here Where you, alone or with a friend, Can eat and shop and rest and mend.
2. O sweet wubbly cubes! I know that you are in there! So I'll wave to you.
3. Here's a task that can't be beat: Harvest every fish and meat, Find each food and mine each ore, (It's cheating if they're from the store) Then you'll need to chop some wood, But not for Hwal, though boots are good. Then a pelt, the gems, and root, Maybe there's a neat rock suit? While Antonica you roam, Don't forget about the loam. You don't need anything that's rare: We'll save that for the evil fair. Then bring them back so I can go Return and give these things to Qho!
4. Once you found his ancient port He seemed a rather friendly sort Now that you've dug up his bubbly, He'll let you have what's almost wubbly.
5. Wand'ring as I please, I see them on the trees. For practice with my bow, I'll take it as I go.
GROUP B
1. From the sea they fished us out, Adventurers, then mage or scout, Or fighter, or not in the least, Some became a healing priest. We, now back upon dry land, Chose the Queen or Lucan's band, Having learned to swing a sword, Cast a spell, and craft a board, We fought some goblins with the guards, Not yet crusaders, shamans, bards, Put undead back in the grave, And evil scheming in a cave. Explored dark woods and undersea, Found the gnome his whatsits three, (Later giant hawk or ooze, Merchants selling special booze, Goblin tree and mole rat's bark, Vicious octopus or shark) Finally aboard their boat, To Freeport walls or Qeynos moat Though not allowed within the gate, For one more quest did then await.
The guards would not yet let us in Since we were not a citizen. Off to the sunken city street, Or to the caves or bog of peat, Then back, now having passed the test For these two cities, Norrath's best. Some would adventure on the plain With orcs as foes, an endless bane, While others fought the gnolls for good, By Fippy's Hill and Archer Wood. And as they travelled all around They found that notes with tasks abound For snakes and lizards, mites and rats, Manta rays and sonic bats. Then once fulfilled, now feeling bold, They turned the order in for gold, So stop on by and choose a task From in between the crate and cask As thanks for all the skills they taught, And did it in the way they ought.
2. Could this be for the Guurok, If we could visit him? No, just for silly goblins, For they are often dim.
3. There was a ship that sailed the sea It once was one, but now is three. (But not the ship that brought us here: It still is one, but gone, I fear.) I think you should go take a look For there could be a long-lost book.
4. Antonica and Commonlands and on to Kelethin The griffon and the boat you could both use just anywhen But till you had this, druids simply would not let you in.
5. While on the beach and hunting crab, I soon discovered something drab: Just a bone, a sandy shard. Something else that I'll discard. Wait! What's this? There's some design On this item from the brine. Could the other crabs have more As they scurry on the shore? Yes! The others have them, too! Now what shall I use for glue? I can use the fishes' skin, Won't even have to gather ten. Then I'll take another look At what I found and what I took. The goblins, they should have a cord: Got it! What a nice reward! Very useful scrimshaw token, Now that it's no longer broken. I have long moved on from here: One day I was hunting deer. I found a tiny piece of fur Looks like from some gnollish cur.
From what I learned before I grew, I know exactly what to do! I've gathered ten more - that was rough. Now for something I can stuff Into these gloves, some griffon down Before I can return to town. And finally, a tendon thread To sew it shut and get ahead.
6. They're cooking here, so go retrieve A spark of the hot. But too bad troll Chef Gorga Cannot enter her pot.

1. In snow or ice they'll keep you warm And give protection from the storm Retrieve one from the store of hide Where only hardy folk abide.
2. While I was shopping at the store I wasn't sure what this was for What's this? I asked, and I was told. So that's what it was meant to hold. I'll buy one and I'll keep it near In case its contents might appear, If in my travels I might find Some dwarves, the complicated kind.
3. The dwarves and giants re-enact - Could they be helped by an artefact? A blessing powerful indeed If it's remade, they might be freed. Later, thread, and rune, and ink But first, to find it. I must think. Some notes, though damaged, were retrieved Perhaps this task will be achieved. Although I've found these words of lore I'll look again - there could be more!
4. The chief received disturbing news And you're the one he would accuse But since you found the sacred stone He would leave your head alone No wonder he's in such a mood If this is all they have for food The pickings here are very scant They just have these, which aren't a plant.
5. It's on the ground! It's all around! It's here! It's there! It's everywhere! In all my sight... But where is right? Still bereft? Which is left?
6. The beer was almost in my sight But, challenged, first I had to fight We wrestled; she was soon pinned down I poured a mug, went back to town Whoo! This brew is rather strong! And that's when everything went wrong I searched the highs, I searched the lows Before I could retrieve the clothes. One little stein of such a beer Taught me my lesson, so, this year I'll take instead, despite its fame A cup made of what's in its name.
7. The holiday that's almost here Uses things found very near Once cooked, you'll find your gathered leaf Goes nicely with your dish of beef.
8. On the shelf, in a cave She needed someone who was brave You'll be fine, and might not die. But what it's for, she said not why. You found the gems, and poured the booze So you'll succeed, and should not lose. I'm still not sure just what's her angle, But since she pays, I'll go and tangle. Then once their numbers I decreased, She had more plans for the beast. Go bring these back, we'll raise them right And they'll protect us when they fight.
9. Friendly, festive cubes Guarding the Games from owlbears Have a great big hug!

The Loresinger's Limericks notes by Oyni Loresinger Songs of Norrath and Norrathians
I. Erudites are a most varied race, Yet can always be told by their face. Their wide, lofty domes Are said to be homes To thoughts lesser minds can not trace.
II. Are Gnomes naught but distracted tinkers? Or could they also be strong thinkers? Bright gadgets galore From their workshops do pour... A pity, but some are such stinkers!
III. Kerra are the surviving heirs To both Kejekans and the Vah Shirs With stealth and raw nerve, Their historians preserve, Yet at times they still mourn their forebears.
IV. The High Elves are noble and wise. All dark arts they deeply despise. They battle for glory; Again, tell their story... And watch each day's new sun arise.
V. The ways of dark elves are mysterious And often of evil quite serious. Some few turn away, Though most surely stay. Beware, lest you make them too curious!
VI. A mystery are the Sarnak, Their history lost in the black. Their past they'll reclaim, Along with their name. 'Ware those who would hold them back!

The Monastery of the Lost Circle This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Tsaph Katta, Imperator of the Combine, knew of Zan Fi's reputation and skill. After hearing how mighty the Whistling Fists Clan was becoming, the Imperator sought to compel Zan Fi to become a part of his army. Our wise master could see the corruption that flowed through the troubled empire, however, and declined to offer his support. Though Katta was infuriated by this refusal, he was beset on too many fronts to attempt to force Zan Fi into his service.
As the Combine Empire crumbled and some of its members left for the distant moon of Luclin, the wise Zan Fi knew that Norrath was facing a time of turmoil. He and his followers traveled the lands, setting an example of order and discipline that was sorely needed in the wake of the Combine Empire's collapse. Wherever he went, Zan Fi seemed to inspire new followers.
Some merely sought to apply the master's lessons to their daily lives, overcoming chaos in an uncertain world. Others attempted to emulate his ways by establishing new monk orders, linked in spirit to the Whistling Fists Clan. One such group was the Ashen Order, which was devoted to the path of Tranquility and the goddess Quellious. The Silent Fist Clan, which followed no specific deity, established itself within the walls of Qeynos. Even the iksar, who normally hated "softskin" outsiders, were in awe of Zan Fi's talents and were inspired to found the Swifttail Caste. Though he was willing to act as a teacher for all these monks, he shared his Whistling Fists style only with his most trusted students.
Many of the nation states that arose after the fall of the Combine offered to make a home for the Whistling Fists Clan, but Zan Fi was wary of pledging his allegiance to any single kingdom. Knowledge and wisdom, he said, were not meant to be confined to a single nation or people. Instead, he set sail for a distant land where his followers could concentrate on their studies and practice their disciplines. It is said that Zan Fi was granted a vision of a serene island where he was to build a grand tower. He followed no map, but rather listened to a mysterious song that seemed to be guiding his journey.
When his ship caught sight of the tranquil shores of Mara, Zan Fi knew he had found the island in his vision. The monks established their monastery, centered around the Tower of the Four Winds.
Though centered on a remote island, the members of the Whistling Fists Clan were not isolationists. Zan Fi believed strongly that his order should keep a watchful eye on Norrath, though he insisted on subtlety and discretion. Whistling Fists monks traveled the world, safeguarding the people of Norrath and occasionally finding worthy students to join their ranks. Because the monks were careful to not draw attention to themselves, many Norrathians believed that the Whistling Fists Clan had disappeared entirely, which led to the order being referred to by many as "the Lost Circle."

1. There are those out spreading hate And they've been busy, as of late We've tracked them down, found out their plan But they're not here. It seems they ran. Yet nearby there is a jar. Is this a clue? It seems bizarre.
2. Though not the answer to this clue, In their camp is purple stew. But getting there could be quite hard Since they have towers for their guard. It's not a place they need to be Go take this so they cannot see.
3. For those who turned to ways of good, Through bats and owlbears in the wood They set their sights, in days of old, On one that many called the Cold. But now he's gone. He is no more. So grab the food that's there in store.
4. Hug the friendly cubes! This would make a great guildhall They'd have their own room.
5. On this, perhaps, you'd wipe your feet When scribing scrolls or cooking meat. They once were found in every town Now all but one have been closed down Still fully stocked, no need to roam - But empty - everyone's at home.
6. The erudites and kerra fought, But now they work as one. And if they're injured in their fight, For potions they might run. It's fortunate there is a shop That's just outside the gate And there is where you'll need to go, There items do await. But potions you cannot bring back, The guards won't let you in. Instead, take both from on the floor If you would like to win.
7. From the sea they fished us out, Adventurers, then mage or scout, Or fighter, or not in the least, Some became a healing priest. We, now back upon dry land, Chose the Queen or Lucan's band, Having learned to swing a sword, Cast a spell, and craft a board, We fought some goblins with the guards, Not yet crusaders, shamans, bards, Put undead back in the grave, And evil scheming in a cave. Explored dark woods and undersea, Found the gnome his whatsits three, (Later giant hawk or ooze, Merchants selling special booze, Goblin tree and mole rat's bark, Vicious octopus or shark) Finally aboard their boat, To Freeport walls or Qeynos moat Though not allowed within the gate, For one more quest did then await.
The guards would not yet let us in Since we were not a citizen. Off to the sunken city street, Or to the caves or bog of peat, Then back, now having passed the test For these two cities, Norrath's best. Some would adventure on the plain With orcs as foes, an endless bane, While others fought the gnolls for good, By Fippy's Hill and Archer Wood. And as they travelled all around They found that notes with tasks abound For snakes and lizards, mites and rats, Manta rays and sonic bats. Then once fulfilled, now feeling bold, They turned the order in for gold, So stop on by and choose a task From in between the crate and cask As thanks for all the skills they taught, And did it in the way they ought.
8. It seems that someone tried to steal, Perhaps foul magic needs them real? But I don't see the thief about And yet, they almost made it out (Later we'll bring back the chest And return them to their rest.)
9. If you come and take a peek Be very careful when you sneak. One who failed is now quite dead - You'll see the axe atop his head. In and out you'll have to slink But if you make it, take a drink.
10. First (or last?) there was the wine And then some goggles, next in line A deck of cards, marked for the cheat But hat does not make this complete. For what you need, here last of all: The vase nearby that's on the wall.

THE CLUES ------------------
1. Troops were sent, in many bands To conquer far-off elven lands But empires of both elf and man Invaded back, and war began. With many away, their strength was short But still they held their mighty fort. As rangers started to amass, They locked the gates, to hold the pass. The dragoons were few, but they were bold, And knew they only had to hold Out for a while - they'd soon grow With reinforcements from below.
They waited there, behind the wall, But that day Neriak would fall. The forest trembled with a boom, And cities toppled to their doom. Neriak had just been sealed But yet they fought, and would not yield. No reinforcements, no supply: In battle the dragoons would die. Though Innoruuk was very proud, Much mystery would soon enshroud What they protected, and its fate, Could there still be a clue, or crate?
2. Where many came to live and shop Now dwell undead, who never stop They no longer rest their joints And do not need its wooden points.
3. There is a place that's rather great, If you need to gather hate. But do not fall into the pool, Or you, too, might become a ghoul.
4. Inside is where the brothers meet, But why? To fight? To scheme? To eat? Stop in and find out what they think And don't forget to grab a drink.
5. Where bears and bats once laid in wait Is home now to three plants of hate Some are short, and some are tall, You will need to find them all!
6. Although they're only sold in here, They're not a beast that we hold dear. Alone, or grouped they can be found, Scurrying upon the ground.
7. If you would earn an ancient scroll, Then Neriak must be your goal. But part of what it was is scattered, Ever since the lands were shattered. Collect one that is very old Of silver, platinum, or gold.
8. An elf named Teah brought great shame Upon the noble Teir'Dal name He was just a common thief Who stuffed himself beyond belief His excess was of a degree That he had lost all subtlety Since all knew, the time was right: To strike, and to remove this blight. Teah's lesson soon would come From a young elf in Freeport's slum Who, being taught the ways of this, First collected Shadow's Kiss. Soon the fungus was distilled, The first step in the plan fulfilled. Aldera asked another stop, At Kalraath the merchant's shop: 'A medium that one can eat, Say it's for me, but be discreet.' He asked what kind, and what it's for Many things were in his store. 'Ingestible. Aldera pays. She's teaching me our ancient ways.'
He gave it, with no time to pry An answer from her as to why. Aldera said, 'I need not ask If you told what this will mask.' Her lessons learned, the elven youth Said she told Kalraath the truth. 'She's teaching me our proper arts.' 'That answer's true, and shows your smarts.' And with the Shadow's Kiss within, Now the last step could begin. She had learned well. Her skills, they show. To Lynsia it next would go. He'd often steal things from her shop That night he'd steal, and then he'd stop. But careful - if one else would eat, All this they would have to repeat. A true Teir'Dal thinks of the cost, If only now, the future's lost. 'One last thing to share with you:' The Teir'Dal's loyalties were two. Some stayed in Freeport, although bleak The Thexians, though, said that's weak.
They would not live within that shack, They strove to find their Neriak. Those in the Alley wanted home But knew there was no need to roam. Grow strength and knowledge, day by day Instead of throwing lives away. The lesson placed, soon Teah learned His unbecoming ways to spurn, For the plan that they had hatched Had led to Teah's quick dispatch. Since the changes to the town Kalraath's shop has been closed down. But other merchants, through the gate, Sell goods for learning ways of Hate. Visit one of them, instead, And buy what rendered Teah dead.
9. Hungry, wubbly cubes Standing guard under Freeport I must come hug you.

15. While we are at this pleasant fair, Take now a journey through the air: A shadowknight, perhaps by fate, Had fled to here from through the gate. Having trudged through sewer deep, And entered into Lucan's keep, He crept his way past owlbears foul Who by the path for travelers prowl, And next passed far across the sea, Then through the thund'ring plains. Here we May follow now the path he flew And see the deeds that he did do. Fly by the woods, where lay the gnolls Five hundred, now off of the rolls Of enemies of this our land Slain here by one of Freeport's band Could he perhaps have changed his ways? Fly near where he to Darvin pays A piece of gold, when he, alas, Cannot just yet his questions pass. But more he traveled, that to learn
How he from evil ways might turn. Fly past the place, where on his path Confessed he next both greed and wrath. Then back we go, to near the gate Where, fully cleansed from former hate, He travelled back, but now within Fair Qeynos as a citizen, He for the Queen shall fight and win His battles as a paladin.

1. From northern lands to Qeynos Hills A traveller made the trek But on one journey, written down, He met with naught but wreck Absent were the usual guards His wolf chased for a lark, No sound was heard within the pits Then rumbling in the dark Thrown to the ground, the wolf ran off And this time not for sport, Her terror echoed, then a roar - Her whimpers were cut short Our traveller knew not where to turn For gone was solid ground But for a ledge up near the roof He, too, would have been drowned His tale survives, but not intact Did it come to this age To make it whole, I must go hunt I'll start with the first page.
2. A tragic tale of an attack I shall avenge, and pay them back All remaining from this strife Is this engraving of his life.

3. You'll find him rather far from home Since his folk have had to roam But speak to him, and you will learn Why they've left, without return Of secret plans he told a tale And gave rewards of long-lost mail On all this history, stop and think, Go chat with him, and grab a drink.
4. At a festive time of year If you go and visit here, You'll find much chaos (and much beer) But now it's gone, and mostly clear, Except for these, which do appear: Take care it doesn't eat your gear.
5. The king gave orders that this band Should camp and mine within this land When from those there complaints were heard, Some settlement the king preferred But royal orders were ignored, There would be no peace restored Instead of what the king had sought, A massacre is what they brought Thus displeased, their god did burst From down below, and made accursed All the members of this host, Each and every one a ghost For not acting with restraint, This act of hate has left its taint Perhaps if you remove their shield The curse may, someday, finally yield.
6. Some sort of weapon's hidden here Their ledger, it might say What they've uncovered, what they've found And end our long delay They've brought many things with them They not just here today But if they cannot get some sleep Perhaps they'll go away.

8. A ritual lets them connect With their forebears, and reflect They've been enslaved, they've been the
master, Their cities rose, met with disaster Despite their struggles, they still last, Find this knowledge from their past:
The Faceless One placed us in Kunark's lands, We were enslaved, and by the Shissar cursed. The sacred Green Mist brought us from their
hands We, unaffected, watched our captors burst: We desecrate all things they once had made. Then Venril Sathir rose, and we were one, And Sebilis was built - for so he bade. But Trakanon destroyed what he had done. We burn their bones, with honour, in a pile The Rending came, and smashed an iksar
ship: Survivors took their refuge on an isle. They battled, but were bound in Lucan's grip. We fought Rallosians with him to be free: Cast his oppressive tools into the sea!

6. From the sea they fished us out, Adventurers, then mage or scout, Or fighter, or not in the least, Some became a healing priest. We, now back upon dry land, Chose the Queen or Lucan's band, Having learned to swing a sword, Cast a spell, and craft a board, We fought some goblins with the guards, Not yet crusaders, shamans, bards, Put undead back in the grave, And schemers hid inside a cave. Explored dark woods and undersea, Found the gnome his whatsits three, (Later giant hawk or ooze, Merchants selling special booze, Goblin tree and mole rat's bark, Vicious octopus or shark) Finally aboard their boat, To Freeport walls or Qeynos moat Though not allowed within the gate, For one more quest did then await.
The guards would not yet let us in Since we were not a citizen. Off to the sunken city street, Or graveyard or the bog of peat, Then back, now having passed the test For these two cities, Norrath's best. Some would fight the gnolls for good By Fippy's Hill and Archer Wood, While others journeyed on the plain With orcs as foes, an endless bane. And as they travelled all around They found that notes with tasks abound Snakes or spiders, seeping ooze, Shrilling bats or gloom snakes choose, Then once fulfilled, now feeling bold, They turned the order in for gold, So to the forest take a stroll And from the table pick a scroll As thanks for all the skills they taught, And did it in the way they ought.
7. Once you've travelled through the gate Soon some houses will await Within is where they used to eat So stop on by, and take a seat.

The Tale of Brother Qwinn This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Another member of the Whistling Fists Clan who became known to outsiders during the Age of Turmoil was the brave and just Brother Qwinn. He traveled the lands in search of the Code of the Whistling Fists, a tome that was taken from him during his journeys.
One of the regions where Brother Qwinn made his home for a time was the Southern Plains of Karana. This sprawling expanse was the home of many dangers, from the horrific outpost of Lord Grimrot to the ominous entrance of the deadly Lair of Splitpaw. Brother Qwinn roamed the area and assisted those who were beset by the forces of darkness. Many tales were told about the mysterious monk in the dark crimson drape who kept the plains safe for wayward travelers.
One of Brother Qwinn's most epic battles was against the mighty beast known as Cracktusk. This huge bull elephant had once been docile, but it was driven to a great rage after poachers attacked him and injured one of his great tusks. The pain was so intense that the massive animal fell into madness and seemed to increase tenfold in both strength and speed.
Cracktusk was known to appear as but a speck on the horizon, only to suddenly charge toward unsuspecting travelers and gore them with his mighty tusks. Though Brother Qwinn had no desire to harm a wounded animal, he could not allow this beast's misery to endanger innocent lives. The monk tracked the great beast for many days until he found it charging toward a group of farmers headed to trade their grain with the nearby aviaks.
As he engaged his opponent, Brother Qwinn was seized by the animal's massive trunk and thrown high into the air, but the skilled monk landed safely. He tried to stun the animal in hopes of finding some way to relieve its pain, but the beast had descended too far into madness for there to be any hope of saving him. The kind-hearted monk summoned forth all his skill to strike with blinding speed and end Cracktusk's suffering as quickly and mercifully as he could.
Though he had saved the lives of the farmers, Brother Qwinn felt no pride in his victory. His only solace was that he had at last ended the mighty elephant's pain. To honor the heart of this great beast, Brother Qwinn buried him and set the massive cracked tusk into the earth to serve as a memorial to the animal's life. Then the monk tracked down the unscrupulous poachers who had caused the elephant's suffering and laid waste to their camp. The fate of the poachers themselves is unknown; Brother Qwinn never spoke of it.
Even for many years after the great monk recovered his tome and departed the Plains of Karana, no one dared disturb the massive ivory tusk that marked Cracktusk's grave. Poachers whispered tales of the mighty Brother Qwinn who had vowed to return and take revenge upon any who would dare desecrate the tomb of the noble elephant whose spirit he honored.

The Tale of Brother Zephyl This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Among the many members of the Whistling Fists Clan who safeguarded the lands of Norrath over the centuries since its founding, one of the most renowned was Brother Zephyl. Though he traveled far and wide, he followed of his order and sought to draw very little attention to himself. Despite these efforts, Brother Zephyl would become known for his great deeds during the Age of Turmoil.
For many years, Brother Zephyl safeguarded the Rathe Mountains, which at that time was a dangerous landscape fought over by many warring factions. Though remaining on the outside of any political conflicts, Brother Zephyl ensured the safety of those who traveled the roadways.
This rocky region held many dangers, one of the most troublesome of which was a tribe of lizardmen that called the valleys of the Rathe Mountains home. These deadly creatures despised all warm-blooded beings and frequently attacked unsuspecting travelers. The cowardly beasts were known to avoid a fair fight, preferring instead to gang up on small groups of adventurers and try to overwhelm them with superior numbers.
One day the lizardmen ambushed a small trade caravan bound for Lake Rathe, and it seemed the merchants faced a certain doom. Suddenly, springing from the rocks above, a dark robed figure arrived to defend the hapless merchants! Brother Zephyl struck the scaled attackers with fists of blazing speed, singing a song of battle as he drove the fiends away. The merchants wished to reward the brave monk, but the modest Zephyl would accept no reward and simply went about his way.
Many more tales like this were soon to be told by other travelers that were saved by the mysterious monk who defended the weak without any care for his own safety. Despite his best efforts, Brother Zephyl's name and reputation became known, and soon curious travelers from afar came seeking acceptance into the Whistling Fists Clan. It is said that some who were worthy even earned the right to wear their own robes of dark crimson.
But it wasn't only Norrathians who took notice of the monk's skill and power. From within the ranks of the lizardmen rose a terrible champion who vowed to slay the monk and devour his flesh. This fearsome reptilian shaman, known as Mortificator Syythrak, set a trap to lure Brother Zephyl out by attacking a group of travelers. When the monk arrived, Syythrak summoned forth the powers of disease to try to weaken the noble defender. Brother Zephyl counterattacked, using his Whistling Fists style to strike a multitude of blows against the wicked fiend.
Some say the battle lasted hours; others claim it went on for days. What is known for certain is that at the end, the mighty Brother Zephyl was victorious. He fashioned a fine vest out of the creature's mystical hide, offering the tunic to a young monk passing through the region.
Brother Zephyl eventually left the Rathe Mountains and had many other adventures. But he never forgot the lands he safeguarded for so long, and it is said that he even requested that his remains be laid to rest there in an unmarked grave. For this reason, the Rathe Mountains have always been held sacred by members of the Whistling Fists Clan.

The Tenth Annual Festival of Unity Scavenger Hunt Official Clues - Willow Wood 2 by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Welcome to the Willow Wood! An eager learner, that is good. Speak with Davyn, he's the same, And learn Feir'Dal's not just a name. Offer help - he's just ahead - And then return with what is said. Good day to you. And you, as well. I'm busy, though. My thoughts propel Me everywhere. I'm quite distracted, And my focus is impacted. It must be from some inner distress, But my dear friend's tribute can't progress. Your help I most appreciate, See Aelis. She will help create. I knew that he'd accept your aid. Do you know why a tribute's made? You will learn. It will grow clear. Reverence for something dear, Friends or family, nature, too, Crafting tributes is what I do. I help the one who comes to ask Make something worthy for his task.
We'll build not just a physical shell, But metaphysical as well. It's strange that he does not desire To take more part or to acquire The things we need. But as he please. First Dewdrop leaves. You'll gather these. The quality can be great or scant, Each must be from a different plant. Here are the leaves. What's next to do? The tribute needs a task from you. It's Davyn's tribute, after all, So do it for him - grand or small. Is my tribute finished yet? A task for you must now be met. That's funny, since you're doing one. What sort of task must now be done? It could be anything you need. I've one, though dangerous, indeed. I'll try. A wolf was seen last night, And gave the citizens a fright. The first report's from Taval Zane. Go speak to him and find this bane.
And if you haven't yet gone in, There's one-room lodging at the inn. Good day. The wolf report was yours? You've chosen, too, to stay indoors Where it's safe. Yes, that was me Who saw the wolf out by the tree. I ran inside and closed the door Before the wolf could do much more. Later, when I dared peek out, Towards the scribe it went about. Jana's usually there, but I've Doubts that she is still alive. Last night, a rabid wolf was here Jana, did you see it near? I did not, but you should check JUst to the north, that wooden wreck. When I arrived, I saw that cart Looked like it was torn apart. Aha! Some tracks lead to the east And soon I've found the rabid beast. It growls and charges from ahead, But very soon, the wolf is dead.
To Davyn, with some news for him: You've helped, although the task was grim. Aelis then asks what you did. I tracked a wolf and then got rid Of it. No, no, with more detail, Or else the ritual will fail. He asked me how his tribute was, And sought a task. He said he does Have a task he'd give to me: Put the wolf out of its misery. And how did this task make you feel? Sad? Or scared? With eager steel? All these feelings began to dawn. Interesting. Please carry on. He then sent me to the inn Where Taval was afraid within. Did you comfort Mr Zane? Yes, I helped his fear to wane. Then Jana's often by the shop, So she became my second stop. She hadn't seen it, wasn't worried, But pointed out a cart. I hurried
Over to see goods and sacks Rummaged through, and found some tracks. Were you nervous or on edge? A bit. Continue. On the ledge, In the hills I found the beast It leapt at me - then was deceased. Now that it's done, have you regret? Nature kills when there's a threat. Most interesting. I'm now inspired To write the tribute that's required. The last component's all around: Woodsun flowers must be found. You got the flowers? Here they are. Take it to Davyn. It's come far. How goes your tribute? It's not mine. You and Aelis made this sign. It would show great disrespect To Ulinir if I elect To place this tribute on his grave. I would not wish to so behave. He was worthy, though you didn't know Ulinir. Yes, I will go.
The Forest Ruins have a river, Its end is where you will deliver This tribute which you have acquired. May others also be inspired By the friendship you have shown, And may see how much you've grown. The grave is found, the tribute placed: May his memory never be erased. Ilaen Lilac stands nearby And speaks about the earth and sky. If we don't work to save this land, No one else will raise a hand. With what problems are you so in tune? If you've not felt it, you will, soon. The movement, interest, deaths quite strange, There's been a most alarming change. Though there are signs of this new threat, The Guard has not shown interest yet. Deer are slain at such a rate, Some say it's wolves that just predate. A few, but most, definitely not For these deer are left to rot.
Their wounds seem like from arrow fire, But no clues I could acquire. You've returned from your patrol This arrow was made by a gnoll. Take this arrow to Germain, Maybe now it will be plain. Citizen, what have you brought? I hope that isn't what I thought. The gnolls are likely on the move, Although one arrow doesn't prove Enough to spur the city. I'm Sure the proof will come, in time. I'm sure this problem will be won, Thank you again for all you've done.

Of all the honored members of the Whistling Fists Clan, few tales are more heartbreaking than that of Brother Balatin. This great monk was beset by tragedy and treachery, and worst of all he blamed himself for the events that transpired.
Brother Balatin journeyed to the lands of Kunark during the Age of Turmoil, where he was observing the progress of the Swifttail Caste. He carried with him an artifact that was priceless to the Whistling Fists Clan: the ancient flute that the order's founder, Zan Fi, had played as he mastered the ways of the bard. To be entrusted with carrying the flute of Zan Fi was a great honor that Brother Balatin took very seriously.
Two initiates of the Court of Pain, the Vistrei twins, showed a particular interest in the flute. They spoke to Brother Balatin at length, and the monk was impressed by the knowledge they showed regarding the history of his order. The twins told him that they had been exploring the abandoned Combine outpost in the Lost Valley and discovered some relics of Zan Fi. Brother Balatin was elated at the prospect of recovering more of the great master's history, and asked that the Vistrei show him what they had found.
But the twins had deceived the honored monk. Upon arriving at the outpost, the Vistrei sprung a trap and ambushed Brother Balatin. Rendering their target unconscious, the iksar stole the flute of Zan Fi and fled the outpost.
Upon regaining consciousness, Brother Balatin was heartbroken. He blamed himself for being so foolish as to be lured into such deception. He swore an oath to all the gods that he would not rest until he had recovered the sacred flute.
The other monks of the Whistling Fists Clan did not blame Brother Balatin for what occurred. They bid him return to the monastery at Mara while they continued the search. The burden, he said, must be his alone. Though his fellow monks pleaded with him, he would not abandon his oath.
Brother Balatin stayed in Kunark for the rest of his days, but he never found the Vistrei again. Every lead he followed ended in disappointment. At long last the aged monk died, atop a monument where it was said that Zan Fi had practiced the Whistling Fists style he created. His last words were a plea to his master's spirit to forgive him for his failure.
But even in death, Brother Balatin was true to his vow. His bones remained, though his tormented soul was trapped in madness. Other members of the Whistling Fists Clan carried on the search in hopes of finding the flute and finally bringing peace to Balatin's soul.
Decades later, an aspiring initiate, whose name was lost in the mists of time, found that the sacred flute had been broken into two pieces which were held in the depths of Kunark. This honorable monk recovered the fragments and returned them to the remains of Brother Balatin, finding some way to soothe his maddened spirit and make it lucid again. Overjoyed at this discovery, Balatin blessed the monk with his own robe, hidden away and carefully preserved during his lifetime.
Before his spirit departed the mortal realm, Brother Balatin's ghost spirited the fragments back to the monastery where the sacred flute could be restored. Balatin proved to be one of the most dedicated monks the Whistling Fists Clan had ever seen, for even in death he fulfilled his sacred promise.
(Author's note: If any who read this know the name of the young monk who recovered the pieces of Zan Fi's flute, please send word to me. It would be a great honor to write the story of this monk's life and heroic deeds.)

The Winter King Only an 30th and higher seasoned adventurer or tradeskiller will be able to summon this reborn beast. FABLED NO-TRADE NO-VALUE ORNATE
In the days after the Sleeper had been awakened and departed from realms unknown, mortals strode within the planes of the gods themselves. Seeking some way to halt this unwanted meddling, the gods withdrew their influence from Norrath and would speak no more. Because the druid rings and wizard spires ceased to function, mortals were cut off from one another. A dark time fell upon the lands as the treat of another Rallosian Empire stirred within the depths of the Feerrott.
Yet there was still hope. The goddess Quellious called forth an Avatar of Tranquility, granting a mortal monk some vestige of her power to ensure that Norrath survived the anguish that was to come. The Avatar appeared to some of the mortals and prepared them to defend the human city of Freeport against the Rallosian menace.
Word of these events reached Sensei Bodiki, honored master of the Whistling Fists Clan. He told his monks to prepare for battle, for they would join in the great war that was to come. Not since the days of Zan Fi had the entire order left their monastery to engage in such a conflict. The monks obeyed their honored leader and prepared to set sail for Antonica.
But just as the monks were about to depart, the Avatar of Tranquility arrived upon the shores of Mara. He asked to speak to Sensei Bodiki in private, so the two honored monks retreated to the top floor of the Tower of the Four Winds. They talked for hours, while all the other monks waited to learn what message the Avatar had brought for them.
Finally Sensei Bodiki emerged from the tower, though he walked alone. He said that the Avatar wished for their order to remain at the monastery. The sensei could not share the reason why the Whistling Fist Clan was not to engage in the battle; Sensei Bodiki would only say that is was vital that they safeguard the island of Mara. Their island, he said, had some other part to play in Norrath’s future. The monks knew their honorable master would not mislead them, so they obeyed.
Only Sensei Bodiki himself departed the island to fight alongside the Ashen Order in the Battle of Defiance. The Avatar blessed the sensei’s decision, although he warned him that this conflict would be fraught with danger. The brave sensei felt that his place was to join others monks in their defense of Norrath.
The battle was won but the price was terrible: Sensei Bodiki was struck down by the Avatar of War. In a gesture of great honor, the Avatar of Tranquility himself bore the body of this fallen hero back to the isle of Mara, where it was laid to rest within the Sepulcher of Zan Fi.
The Whistling Fist Clan next elected Brother Zadekil to the position of sensei. The honorable Sensei Zadekil governed the order though many prosperous years in which great songs were sung of the brave Sensei Bodiki.

This is a short introduction to Haven and a couple of etiquette rules that keep neutrality pleasant for everyone.
Haven is a refuge for those of us who, by choice or by chance, are not aligned with any of the major cities. As some of us are from one city or the other, tensions can sometimes run high. However, Haven is intended as a respite from the problems outside our walls. We ask that you leave your animosities behind you once you enter Haven.
Many ask us why Haven is in a cave. The answer is simple. When you do not wish to be located with any ease, the best place to go is underground. These caverns are conveniently networked to various locations, which makes Haven ideally situated to those of us in exile.
How did we locate such a great place?
This question is much more difficult to answer, as Haven has been continuously inhabited for several generations.
Several tunnels within the cavern are collapsed, possibly as a result of the Rending. Fortunately, access to water, sir, and food were not affected.
How can you return to Haven once you leave? Due to its special qualities, return to Haven is only available to those who really, really need it. Once you align yourself firmly with a major city, you'll no longer be able to enter Haven. While you're one of us, you'll always know how to return. In other words...it's a SECRET that we aren't about to write down!
By now you have noticed that several folks have made Haven their more or less permanent home. While most of you may view Haven as a stopping point in your journey, others find that life beyond the human cities is quite refreshing. If you like this lifestyle, feel free to stick around! We have many amenities, though permanent housing is not one of them.
Does that mean you can live in exile forever but never have a home?
Not necessarily. If you can withstand the journey to the Desert of Ro, Maj'Dul is open to all comers.
You will need to be able to get there, however, on your own.
One thing we ask is that you do not carry conflicts with your neighbors into Haven.
We strive for a neutral environment as we are all, whether we admit it or not, on the same side while outside the cities.
Grievances should be settled before returning to the seclusion of our Haven, to preserve our unique habitat.
Remember that you are not alone on your journey, though at some points along the way you might feel that way. Others have had to make the same choices you will need to make very shortly. Make friends with those who surround you in Haven, whether you agree with their views or not. This is your home and they are your family, at least for a little while. Safe travels!

You will need to teach your Wolf pup three basic commands.
You will be judged accordingly to the Wolf pup's ability to follow your all of your orders.
(Judged by highest /ran roll. This will be an accumulated overall score of all 3 commands)
When each player is ready, they will go one at a time and roll a /ran. Results will be based off of the following numbered reactions. Please make sure to read each list, as they are different depending on the command.
Stay
You will teach the pup to "Stay." Issue the command before walking ten feet away from it. The goal is for the pup to stay in the place where you left it.
0-20: The Pup is very hyper and sniffing everything in sight as it ignores your orders.
21-40: The Pup seems calm for a split second before running toward you, yipping and playing at your feet.
41-60: The Pup seems to be settling down before hopping up and bouncing all around.
61-80: The Pup seems very eager and excited but soon stays seated.
81-100: The pup stays perfectly still where
you left them. Come Here
The goal is simple. Get your wolf to come to you from where they sit 10 feet away, or where they have wondered off to.
0-20: The Pup wanders about, nose to the ground, approaching everyone but you.
21-40: The Pup charged toward you! ... and past you. Was that some jerky in that hut nearby?
41-60: The Pup is very intent upon that bird in the sky! Maybe calling to him a second time?
61-80: The Pup comes half way, then stops and starts to play, begging you to join them.
81-100: The Pup yips and barks, kicking up
snow as he comes toward you as soon as you call. Heel
You want to teach your pup to walk along your side you nicely. A proper 'Heel', the wolf's head or shoulder is parallel to the handler's left side leg.
0-20: Your Pup went that way...
21-40: The Pup rolls over, begging for belly rubs.
41-60: The Pup runs ahead, never too far, but certainly not next to you.
61-80: The Pup tries, really they do, but they can't seem to understand which side you want them on and they circle your feet as you walk.
81-100: The Pup stays at your side does not stray.
