The Journal Of The Wandering Wizard

[Availer 681]

Joma, 13th Of The First Seed, 1322

I write this in a hurry, as darkness falls upon Aegis, I know that tonight will not be safe. Dark times are ahead. The Sages were not what the people thought they were, long did the people of Aegis show mistrust in their ways. They did not take part in most of the wars and battles in the north, regardless of my councils the Sages kept in their keeps hoarding power and wealth, in their academies studying the intricacies of magic and searching for the hidden relics of Aeriel.

Some Ascended were true to their blood and showed the ferocity and mastery that was expected from their great descent. They fought like lions against the Undead and to this day, are spread across the lands defending our homes and cities from the ever creeping doom.

I confronted the Sages in their magnificent city. I found them invested in their books, studying the ancient lore of the weapons of Aeriel. I put my hand on Sage Riizus shoulder, reminding him of his place in Aegis as the leader of the last defense, his place as protector of Aegis. In a fit of rage the Sage stood up and shouted, spittle erupting from the darkness of his hood. "What do you know about Aegis? What do you know about the Undead? Let the Sages be you old fool, you're task is done, return to your creator!"

The Sage raised his golden staff, "Perhaps as a bounty, we may receive the Axe of Aeriel in return for your corpse,". Madness glinted under the dark hood. I could not believe what I was seeing, I did not expect that power would corrupt this grand order. I rose, terrible as a mountain, in a booming voice I replied "Dare you confront me? When have the Sages of Aeriel fallen to such madness?". With one sweep of my arm his staff was broken. "Your staff is broken, you are no longer able to lead the sages, go and live the rest of your days in the wilds,".

An ominous silence began to permeate through the room and I could feel the presence of others. A voice I recognised as that of Sage Sue began to speak "Wizard, we know you wish to become the King of Aegis, we see the greed in your motives. You will never lead...". Sage Riizu let out a laugh, "Without us the Undead will scourge the land and Aegis will become nothing more than a barren wasteland. It's time we left... Aegis does not deserve our power or knowledge,"

In a flash the Sages left me where I stood. Since that day I have not seen or heard of them. They have left Haven in disarray, the Ascended leaderless. Darkness covers the land and it is no longer safe to travel in the dark, the Undead multiply and I can feel the taint on the wind as it becomes greater and greater.

The Nations war amongst themselves and the guilds battle over scraps. It is the calm before the storm as I know that if ever, now is the time to attack. The Undead regroup. No longer will they attack with Zombies and Pigmen, I see in the north a greater army assembling, Ghasts from the evil nether and lines upon lines of dark green monsters.

I write this in a hurry, but my friends, there is not much more to say. You are reading this perhaps in a Library, or in the comfort of your Royal Chambers or from the Bulletin Board of your barracks. Regardless, it is time to act. The fate of Aegis now lies in the hand of its people, the Ascended still live but they are broken and leaderless. Kings, Queens, Princess, Soldiers, Blacksmiths, Cooks, Warriors, Hunters, Thieves, Assasins, Writers, Actors and Farmers of Aegis, you must all unite under one banner and march on the dark gates of Striqaephoth. I have only one gift I can give to you in this battle.

The Gift of Magic.

((Ooo, sounds like intense stuff is coming~Also, first to finish reading!)) As he reads the book he can feel the truths in the words. It had been something that had been at the edge of his mind for a while, the disappearance of another Sage and then these two. There is a big battle coming, and he is ready to pick a side.

Also:((Creepers!))

(Magics on it's way I guess?)

*Notices the book while searching for a book on "healing spells" and "lifting curses". Robin Drake reads the latest entry in the book*

This is troubling news indeed, I have seen many attacks with zombies and pigmen where the men and women of Oren could only just force them back, yet this brings tale of more creatures? Ghasts and green creatures? This is not a good sign for the North. But, without the swift aid from the druid I contacted I will not regain the use of my arm and will not be of much use in the upcoming battle.

Ben notices the note and writes a reply on the bottom of it using the blood from a wound he got while fighting Undead just a few hours before.

"I used to love the Sages but when I joined the FOA and I got to know them better I found out how corrupt they were. I left the FOA not wanting to have to listen to them ever again. Most of the Ascended fight and die for the rest of Aegis, but the Sages, corrupt with power just sit back and read all day.

After you finish reading, the blood starts to dry turning almost black.

((PLEASE make this on a weekend, I need to be there!!! I don't care what time, I've done countless all-nighters on this server but I must see this one, please PM or something if it is on a weekend :D))

[argonian 14254]

((does the last part part of the post "I have only one gift I can give to you in this battle.

The Gift of Magic." mean we are getting magic soon?))

[Sporadic 2844]

*Sweeps the scroll of the paper with considerate force*

Magic! Pwah. I have seen my fellow mortals swarming and squirming around the Undead might. Naught but ants standing in line to be squished. Surely we failed any possible test these optimistically named 'Ascended' could have laid out for us.

Unworthy. This will end badly... mark my words.

[VonEbs 1224]

((Oh my gosh. Cannot wait for magic.))

I was researchimg in the Laurelin Library and have an idea aabout the green creatures. They are known to our ancestors as creepers. If they were released into a city, then their powers, not clearly described, would decimate the populace and any defensive structures. I will comtinue my research.

Dante looks around the Lunavara library as he takes a break from his tasks. He finds a book unlike the rest laying on the floor. He picks it up and walks to the pond. He sits on one of the stone benches and starts to read.

At the end of the book, Dante puts it down and stares at the sky above. Words wonder his mind as he thought about the message it foretold. Dante mutterer to himself, "The undead have gotten numerous around here and there have been several times I had to go out and fight them. Once I even had to be rescued by the monks. This has got to end."

Hours later, Dante started honing his craft. They will need a swordsmen. They will also need swords and armor and he will have both to aid them. When the time comes, He will set off to Al'Khazaar to give aid to the fight. The last Demon of the North will rise again to destroy the undead.

((This seems to be a great rp event, and did he say anything about magic???))

[Viserys Sangria 2]

((I was sitting at my computer, and I used my best Gandalf voice to read this to two of my friends. They then proceeded to buy me ice cream, say I have the best Gandalf voice ever, and say that this was the best thing they've ever read. Evar.))

((All this, and I am still banned for no reason. :cry:))

In his deep sleep, Aimin snores.
