\nDay 184, Year 538 of the Ascendancy<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe 137th Chaos Storm had passed, and there was
\nnothing new, or so it seemed. The Brewery remained closed, the Mirrors
\nwere still impassible, and the weird hut on Centaur Isle still wouldn’t
\nopen. Go figure. However, I soon learned different. Whilst listening to
\nthe sunstone, I heard much hubbub about a new island off the west coast
\nof Puddleby, called Fire Island. I quickly ran to the docks, rented
\nmyself a rowboat, and headed for the isle.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nI entered the isle from the northern side, and
\nquickly paddled my way to the shore. It appeared that the entire
\nnorth-western coast of Fire Island was marsh, and I had much trouble
\ntying down my boat. I soon found myself exploring several snells of
\nmarsh, wondering to myself why the isle wasn’t called “Marsh” Island,
\ninstead of “Fire” Island. That was when I stepped though a pf path, and
\nfound myself in Orion’s Forest. I was shocked that there could be a
\npath leading from Fire Island to the Centaur Isle, which was nowhere
\nnear the Fire Island at all. I wandered through Orion’s Forest, looking
\nfor the exit, but I could not find it. The forest was filled with many
\ndeadly monsters, and I soon found myself running for my life. I was
\nfelled shortly thereafter.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Fallen<\/font><\/p>\n

\nLuckily for me, my clan mate Stryfe was in the
\narea, and I was back on my feet in no time. Stryfe related to me that I
\nwas not in Orion’s Wood, but that I was still on Fire Island, in a
\nforest that looked<\/i> like Orion’s. I bade my clan mate thanks,
\nand continued my exploration. After wandering through the forest for a
\nwhile, I finally made it out into an open space. A great wide plain lay
\nbefore me, with the ocean to the east, and nothing much else but grass,
\nas far as the eye could see. I put my weapons in my pack, and began a
\nnice, leisurely jog down the plains. I soon found that the plains were
\nnot as flat as I first thought. The “plains” were actually rolling
\nhills, that gave the illusion of being flat. Many objects that I could
\nnot see from afar became more apparent as I crested each hill: strange
\nmarkings in the grass, dark, foreboding towers, and several abandoned
\nhuts.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAs I explored the endless plains, I ran across the
\nMystic Aki, and the sylvan Babajaga. Though I had not yet met any
\nbeasts upon the plains, I was relieved to have company. Together, we
\nexplored the rest of the plains, and several snells of forest to the
\nsouth-east. Aki explained to me how the isle was approximately seven by
\neight snells, or fifty-six snells total, making it nearly the size of
\nPuddleby! We explored the isle for a bit, and decided to examine the
\ntowers we had seen earlier in our journey. We returned to the plains,
\nand found that there were two dark towers, vertically aligned with each
\nother. I decided to explore the northern one, while Aki would examine
\nthe one to the south.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Strange<\/font><\/p>\n

\nWe soon found, however, that the southern tower
\nwas un-enterable, and we both ended up exploring the northern one. The
\ninterior of the tower was very peculiar, composed of some dark,
\nunidentifiable material. Strangely, the tower was not composed of
\nmultiple floors, but a single floor, with the rest of the tower being
\nopen space. Traversing through the tower was like taking a stroll
\nthrough Purgatory, and at first, Aki and I had trouble discovering the
\nexit. However, we eventually did find the exit, and we returned to
\nexploring the isle. Soon, however, a Darshak invasion force swept over
\nPuddleby, and we returned to our home isle to combat the pirates, who
\nwere headed by their much feared elite.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAfter the invasion, I returned to Fire Island, and
\nhad many an adventure. My mystic location powers really came in handy
\non Fire Island, for the isle was large, and many parties became lost,
\nseparated, and fallen in obscure places. It is simply impossible to put
\ninto words how vast the Fire Island is. In addition to it’s fifty-six
\nsnells worth of land mass, there are countless caves, tunnels, and
\ncrevaces, which will definitely take a long time to explore fully.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Lost<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAnd if that’s not enough exploring for you,
\nanother vast area has been discovered, this one on Puddleby. A
\npreviously undiscovered path in the North Forest has been found, which
\nleads to a new area, which has been dubbed the “New North Forest” or
\nNNF. NNF is also quite large, and a new bear cave has been discovered
\nthere, in addition to a strange beach, with lizards that have the
\nability to make exiles drunk. This Chaos Storm has definitely opened up
\nmany avenues for exploration. It will be some time, I predict, before
\nexiles will begin complaining that there is nowhere new to explore.
