Astrid Salvation
Piercing the night, shouts and screams,
followed by sounds obscene.
Never sleep, for fear of the summoner's dream.
Late at night, under a moon of red.
I struck out, clutch'd by hatred
and sweaty fear, from bed.
Children, women, and young boys taken
and tied to stakes, rocks, and left there.
Till black talos dust was wafted over their eyes,
and till blood's curdle silenced their cries.
Dark nights, throw all into a shudder,
when we hear the Dark Knight's wing'd flutter.
Gasp and cry and wish for day's innocence.
No sanctuary, no grace, from these summoners' malevolence.
Undying Undine. Where are your children?
For Deochs the peaceful village of Undine has been raided and children stolen
by the Goblins. Each spring begins the new years ritual known as the Caroun
in which many children are sacrificed to the Goblin god Aprina. The first rays
of spring are spreading throughout Temuair. Unless help arrives in Astrid soon
many children will die.
The guild Novus Imperia and Ramanayan's Monster Lore class will be hosting
an event to go and rescue children from Astrid. With the spring ritual at hand
we need as many hands to help to get out as many children as possible.
Participants shall meet in the History Classroom of Mileth College, which
is just south of Glicoa's shrine in Mileth way. The group will then make its
way to the Undine Tavern where a recognized aisling will teach the secrets
of the Goblins to allow us to find the children. Finally the group will enter
the deepest portions of Astrid itself and rescue children from the Goblins.
After we rescue as many as possible we will return to Undine Tavern to free
the children and collect the reward from the citizens of Undine.
"Astrid Salvation", begins ((Friday May 31st 2002 at 6:00
PM PST)) in Mileth College, history classroom. The event shall probably last
for about 1/3 of
a Temurian day. ((1 real life hour)). You will need several things for this
epic adventure. You must be of at least the 15th insight and bring 3 potions
known as reds. We will do our best to keep you safe while in Astrid but we
cannot guarantee it. During the Salvation the all participants will be grouped
and should stay together as we will going into the deepest parts of Astrid.
Completion of the Astrid Salvation and rescuing a child will grant experience
rewards at Undine tavern.
