There seemed to<br \/>\nbe little new in the lands, and there hadn&#8217;t been any new areas or<br \/>\nplaces to be discovered. In fact, there was even less to explore than<br \/>\nbefore, for the T&#8217;rool Mines that had opened up last storm, had closed<br \/>\nagain in this one. There was nothing new at all&#8230; or so I thought.<br \/>\nToday, as I stepped out of the library, I sensed my friend Firebird<br \/>\nfalling to a small rock. I quickly took out my skristal, and began<br \/>\nsearching for my clan mate. The only thing that my search yielded, was<br \/>\nthat Firebird was somewhere east, and badly fallen. So I returned my<br \/>\nskristal to my pack, and my search was begun.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe only logical place to me, that Firebird would be fallen, was the<br \/>\npasses. The passes are filled with many dangerous creatures such as<br \/>\nGreymyr and Wendeka, and it would have been easy for my friend to fall.<br \/>\nI decided to search the southern passes first, and then work my way up.<br \/>\nHowever, as I made my way to the passes, a sunstone message changed my<br \/>\ndestination. It seemed a small party had been present with Firebird,<br \/>\nand now they were sunstoning for help. The location they gave of<br \/>\nFirebird, was that he was fallen in a new area in north pass. I was<br \/>\nquite excited, and rushed my way to the north pass. There, I ran<br \/>\nstealthily, dodging Wendeka and Blood Hawks, and looked around for<br \/>\nanything that might lead me to this new area.<\/p>\n<p>\nFinally, I spotted a plateau high in the mountains, on what at first<br \/>\nappeared to be an unscalable cliff. However, further inspection<br \/>\nrevealed a small path among the rocks, and I slowly made my way up the<br \/>\nmountain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/hiking.gif\" alt=\"Hiking\" width=\"341\"><\/p>\n<p>\nBy the time I had reached the top, I was quite tired. I quickly began<br \/>\nsearching for Firebird, but soon found that he was alive and well,<br \/>\nalong with six other exiles. The party had been exploring the plateau<br \/>\nfor quite a while, and had found nothing special about it. As a mystic<br \/>\nand pathfinder, I was asked to search the mesa for anything out of the<br \/>\nordinary, which I did, with pleasure. The entire plateau was empty; all<br \/>\nI could yield from my search was rocks, weeds, and dust. The plateau<br \/>\nwas berefet of even beasts such as Wendeka and Blood Hawks, that<br \/>\nplagued the rest of the passes. The place seemed completely safe, but I<br \/>\nsoon learned different.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs I was exploring the plateau, a pair of Blood Hawks swooped out of<br \/>\nthe air, and began to attack me. I ran swiftly southwards, where the<br \/>\nrest of the party helped to do away with the birds. That was when two<br \/>\nboulders flew over the cliff face, and struck Firebird into the ground.<br \/>\nOthers quickly followed. The boulders were being thrown by the Greymyr,<br \/>\nfor the plateau overlooked the Greymyr Village. Our two other healers,<br \/>\nWormTounge and Kartan still lived, but they could not heal Firebird,<br \/>\nfor he was too badly fallen. Luckily for him, the healer Lorikeet soon<br \/>\narrived, and Firebird was back on his feet in no time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/pointlesspass.gif\" alt=\"Rescued by Lorikeet\" width=\"236\"><\/p>\n<p>\nThus ended the exploration of the yet to be named plateau. Firebird<br \/>\nsuggested naming it the Pointless Pass; a name that does seem to fit<br \/>\nthis strange and deadly area. But is this place just an ordinary<br \/>\nplateau, or does it hold some darker, more sinister secrets?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 148, Year 538 of the Ascendancy The last Chaos Storm had definitely been a quiet one.
