Lundar's Library

Day 78, Year 542 of the Ascendancy

The Clouds of Ether have once again appeared on Puddleby. Around
midnight today, I stepped out of the library, and received an urgent
call from my Apprentice, Curiousity. He related to me that the Clouds
of Ether had been spotted again, this time in the Lily Pond. I rushed
to the Lily Pond, and sure enough, there were the familiar bubbles of
Ethreal mist, along with the Ethreal Portals they create. One thing
that was different with the Clouds that appeared this time though, was
that they had the ability to zap exiles with powerful lightning. I was
not able to stay for the entire battle against the Clouds, but my
colleague Zorton tells me that the Clouds were eventually defeated. One
thing to note that may be of importance, is that so far, the Clouds of
Ether have been appearing only close to midnight. This could prove to
be a clue as to the nature of the Clouds. We really need to re-visit
the Ethreal Plane, and find out what is going on.
