Dark Cloud

Day 285, Year 550

There seem to be a lot of new things cropping up in the lands lately,
and you can hardly keep your back turned before something new pops up.
Case in point: I was recently holed up in the library for a couple
days, and when I came out, the mirror in south forest had opened!…
well, sort of. It seems the mirror now leads to some mysterious dark
cloud up in the skies of Puddleby.

Today I got to take a look at this new cloud, along with my
clanmates from, ELF. First, however, we made a stop by the clan house
and inducted Nip the Warrior as a full-fledged member of our clan!
Welcome to the clan Nip!

Afterwards, we headed into a twinkling portal in Falinea’s Garden
and into the enchanted cloud. The inside of the cloud is mostly forest,
with a group of mountains to the east. The forests are quite dangerous,
with maha ruknees and summer artaks in great abundance. The mountain
passes are inhabited by wendeckas, with snow ferals and polar bears at
higher elevations.

The suface of the cloud is quite big, and spans rougly 20 snells.
Rescues on the cloud can be quite tricky, as there is something strange
about the geography of the cloud which plays havok with the skristal.
Luckily, the explorer Sagramor has created a map of the cloud, which
can be found here here for exiles who may find themselves lost.

One word of warning to anyone thinking about visiting the cloud.
Walking off the edge of the cloud can be extremely dangerous, and is
not recommended by the Thoomcare Surgeon General. Careless exiles may
suddenly find themselves lying in a smoking crater in the landmass
below.
