The Ghastly Presence
Posted on June 2, 2000 in UncategorizedDay 13, Year 538 of the Ascendancy
The witch priestess of the Nox Sorora, Lilit, has
recently been indicted many times of summoning forth undine, but has
always come forth unscathed, through lack of evidence. After today’s
events, however, Lilit may not get off so easily. Lilit has many times
summoned undine from the Abyss with her dark rites, but never before on
the scale as was witnessed today.
On the morn of the 13th day of Winter, after
partaking in a brief rescue in the Trool Town(in which I ended up on my
back, as usual), I headed to the undine hut in the northern fields of
Puddleby, which from broken sunstone messages I had desiphered that
much was amiss. And indeed, much was wrong there. Lilit and Aromae, a
new accomplice of hers, were bent upon much destruction, and with their
rites they summoned forth many powerful undine from the nether. Greater
Wraiths, Death Furies, Faithless, Ghastly Presences, and Corpse
Warriors were much too common within the dark cavern that day. Many
exiles rushed forth to the cavern, and many were wounded and felled,
but eventually Lilit’s forces were pushed back.
Still, it is alarming to see how Lilit’s power
grows daily; she now even gathers support from other exiles, including
such as Aromae, Sau’lo Dra’kh, and Fuzz. And the Ghastly Presence, the
invisible foe with much might… I have not seen such vile undine since
the Great Forgetting. Hopefully, today’s showing will have taught Lilit
a lesson, but somehow that seems doubtful. For now, at least, we can
keep her dark forces at bay.(See a Vision Stone of the Ghastly Presence)
On a lighter note, the Puddeby Clan Council
sponsored art contest has come to a close, and the many pieces of art
submitted for the contest are now on public display, and await judging.
The pieces are mainly of great events that have touched Puddlby, or
portraits of prominent exiles. The judges will surely have a hard time
judging the entries, for the pieces are simply superb! But don’t take
my word for it! Go to the Art Contest Scrolls, and see for yourself!
