As everyone knows by now, the famed artist and veteran exile Sor is leaving the lands. Sor has contributed heavily to the Puddleby community over the past two decades, and his fine artwork has done more to define the look of our islands than any other artist. He was a compulsive gambler, and I will miss the many nights I spent sitting with him at the card tables of the Golden Butterfly, cursing Jack Vintian’s name.
Today, as a going away ceremony of sorts, Sor held an enormous auction for the items he’d collected over the years. Many of the finest items from Sor’s treasure hoard were auctioned off, and were sold for astounding prices. Some of the items that fetched high prices were EP Portal Stones, Catsbane Necklaces, and a Pass Key, which went for a whopping 80,000 coins.
As for myself, I had saved up some money for the auction, and managed to snag a lump of Tin Ore and a Skein of Silk.

The last Chaos Storm seems to have been more chaotic than usual. When I stepped out of the library after the Storm had passed, I found that town had reverted to how it had been more than two decades ago! I also found that I had been stripped of my profession and nearly all my items, and I seemed to have gained a little weight.
As other exiles began stepping out of the library(or where the library had been, before the Storm), they too learned of the changes that had taken place, and their reactions ranged from anger to bemusement. Polerand took full blame for the situation.
