||
| − | In Taara's wake the earth crumbled. [[Recent History|Gods fell]], others rose, and the race of mankind looked forward and saw the destruction of nations. For five years, [[Magitech and Magic|necrotech]] seared the world's landscape and forces unknown decimated the once-insurmountable Walls of Charn. [[Locations|Nations]] turned against one another with the vanishing of monarchs--brother to brother and kin to kin. During the struggles, the nation of Dragonier attempted to keep the peace before it, too, fell. Other nations threatened to follow. |

| − | Now returned from the Mists, [[Alexandria]] finds itself thrown into a world in turmoil. In this world, the [[Gods of Good|Pantheon of Light]] stride forward in anger, the [[Gods of Neutrality|Twilight]] fall into debate, and the [[Gods of Evil|forces of Darkness]] are locked in a war between Maugrim and Taara. High arcana soars over the landscape with the renewed activity of the [[races|Old Races]], while guilds and organizations struggle to find their footing with the fall of Rune. The [[sildanyar]] and [[khazad]] have moved forward into the world once again, driven by the perceived neglect of the world by humankind. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The world had waited for the return of [[Alexandria]] and the return of the [[Myrddion|Myrrish]] and [[Bludgun]] kings for five years--only to find Alexandria suddenly returned unchanged, and unknowing, from the Land of Mists. To Alexandria, the [[Recent History|War of Sendor]] is just days past. To the world-- |

||
| − | Tales of pirates begin to quiet down, replaced by murmurs of increasing sickness. Not of the body, but of the mind... In some corners, townsfolk whisper tales of the Butcher, a children's horror run amok. Others of madmen in the Lower City. Rumors circulate, too, of a creature known only as the Azure Queen...or more commonly and frequent, Blue Bitch, in the parlance on the streets and one they say is depraved beyond all reason. The pirates continue, of course, but they're secondary in minds as of late, and who can blame them? |
||
| − | |||
| − | Worse, the City's called for a public execution of someone tied to these recent horrors. While supporters say it's to calm down the hysteria before it starts, others take a more jaundiced eye towards the proceedings, recalling that, perhaps, public executions in Alexandria have never, EVER gone well. |

| − | ====Holidays, pt 3 Reminder==== |
||
| − | Hey, there. This is just a reminder to folks old and new about our last, final celebration of the holidays. I've posted on this before, but a reminder never hurts. :3 |
||
| − | |||
| − | For Holidays Part 3, I'll be awarding one of your PCs, from level 2-8, a free level...with treasure. |
||
| − | |||
| − | All you need to do to earn it is, sometime between now and the end of January, email me (lahar.tenebrae at yahoo.com) 4 RPP logs OR 1 PrP log. Remember, Whirl will be hosting a PrP Workshop this Sunday (tomorrow), so please consider giving PrPs a go... |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once you email me, I'll contact you and we'll take it from there, figure out what shinies you want, and so forth... :D |
||
| − | |||
| − | - Lahar |
||
| − | |||
| − | PS Because folks have asked, yes, the logs do need to be from January. All the best, - Lah |

| − | ===December 26=== |
||
| − | ====The Cinnamon Challenge==== |
||
| − | This is an OFFICIAL NOTICE! ...we are offering a hefty, ONE-TIME bounty of ONE-HUUUUUNDRED XP!!! ...to anyone and everyone who can take up the 'Cinnamon Challenge.' ... :D |
||
| − | |||
| − | This means. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Picking up Cinnamon and tossing her at monsters. ICly. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Bonus if you include a war cry. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Have fun, guys. :3 |
||

||
| − | ====Happy Holidays, pt 3!!!!!==== |
||
| − | Damn. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't help but think how wonderful this season is. It's a time for family, for friends...for community. |
||
| − | |||
| − | That is what we would like to do. Show our appreciation to you. Yes, YOU. :D |
||
| − | |||
| − | So for this season, for the entire month of January (which is coming up in just a week!) we'll be offering a little something. |
||
| − | |||
| − | What we'd like to do is kickstart the new year. Start it off right. And, we hope, give our DMs a little break--a way of thanking THEM for running nearly 3+ scenes a week for an entire YEAR. |
||
| − | |||
| − | So! |
||
| − | |||
| − | For the ENTIRE MONTH OF JANUARY, if you: |
||
| − | |||
| − | Send in 4 RPP Logs - OR - Run 1 PrP |
||
| − | |||
| − | ...we'll bump any alt, from levels 2-8, UP ONE FULL LEVEL, with some treasure to go with it. :3 |
||
| − | |||
| − | Just email me the logs (lahar.tenebrae@yahoo.com), then let me know you did via +request, and include which alt your bonus goes to. That's all you have to do. I'll contact you and we'll take it from there. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The PrP doesn't have to be top-notch, either. This is more about getting our feet wet, collectively. Pester Whirlpool for ideas. Pounce Inferno. Poke Pyro. He's a hippie. Just like Sandy. |
||
| − | |||
| − | And Happy Holidays, from everyone here on Tenebrae. :D |
||
| − | |||
| − | - Lahar |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | PS Some folks have asked, "What do I send in with a PrP?" You basically send the log, with rolls and ooc-foo. Check out Roleplay > Player Run Plots. I made a cheat sheet at the bottom. |
||
| − | |||
| − | PPS Please give the PrPs a try. I want to give this award out. Yet, part of me also wants our DMs to have a special treat, too. So harass'em, invite'em along. Say thank you. :D And get your feet wet. XD |

| − | ====Actions and Maneuvers in PF!==== |
||
| − | We've a new page up! It is in the Pathfinder section of our site and tries to clarify "Just What Can I do in a Round?" It also addresses combat maneuvers a bit, too. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I don't claim everything is correct yet. If you see an error, don't hesitate to send a polite @mail. |
||
| − | |||
| − | To see the charts, head on over to Start Here > [[Pathfinder Resources|What is Pathfinder]], and look under the Resources section. Or, [[Actions_in_Pathfinder|click here]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Happy Holidays! As we prepare for the final stretch of Tenebrae's holiday preparation, staff wanted to take time out to say hi to our new folks...and to give a firm hand-shake to the old. With this in mind, we wanted to ask: who are you? And, what stories do you want to tell? |
||
| − | |||
| − | So just for the fun of it, staff is tossing out some Character Questionairres. You don't need to fill these out. X) But if you do, staff will award you 3 RPPs if you're new. If you're old, fill one out for your oldest, and youngest, PC. We'll give you 3 RPP for that, too. Just share what answers you can and share them on the forum. :3 |

||
| − | ====Erroneous Experiment Damages Docks==== |
||
| − | The wizard who requested Guild of Explorers ruffians to assist him in protecting his testing did not get exactly what he expected as results. The members of the group have been ushered into the Temple of Althea for healing from what has been described by what an eyewitness apothecary reports as "the nastiest jellyfish stings he had ever seen", quoting the size of the jellyfish to be something to the realm of fifty feet across given the size of the stings, adding that they were lucky to survive such things. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The foreman of the dockworkers on shift is exceptionally irate with the testing of this experiment as it has caused ludicrous damage to two of the piers at the Alexandrian harbour, being caused by possibly the same boat. The City Watch claims that nothing out of the ordinary occurred, just that the wizard's ability to control his own magic is highly suspect. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Due to security issues a week and some ago within the Temple, the wizard, the adventurers, nor those tending to them could be reached for comment. |
||
| − | ===Eliday, Khael 23, 1014=== |
||
| − | ====Olyeaux Estate Settled==== |
||
| − | The estate of the late Lord Olyexau has finally been divided and sold, thanks in part to some adventurers from the Guild. His two feuding sons have been left the fruits (and vegetables) of his love of squash, and apparently have been legally denoted as "dunderheads." |
||
| − | |||
| − | The estate itself, though, was granted to Lord George Brawnson, as per the will. Lord Brawnson is best known for his legendary adventuring exploits, such as feeding a purple worm its own tail and using the resutling ball as the head of a flail to take out an entire squadron of roc aerial cavalry, or the time he convinced a thousand year old dragon to pay him its hoard in exchange to forgo the usual beating. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As Lord Brawnson is currently missing in action, the Brawnson estate has begun the process of reclaiming the overgrown and run-down Olyexau property and restoring it to glory, albeit with a Brawnson touch. |

||
| − | "Whatddya mean I gotta pay a fine??!" the outraged roar could be heard for blocks. Kvnich Snigzof nearly ran afoul of the merchants' guild when word escaped that certain rumors /were/ true. His family was tied to the infamous Fizzlebog, the inventor of the dragonspitter and thunderbelcher. |
||
| − | |||
| − | And the gobbers had swarmed. So had some artificers. Everyone, it seemed, was wanting an autograph. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The City (via the Merchanter's Guild) is wanting him to pay damages. In response, he's added some healing potions to his list, in attempt to gain counter-support from the adventuring community. |

| − | Amid cheering, screaming, and tales of woe and hand-wringing, the gobber's carravan arrives. It's led by a trio of gobbers of various ages, each claming to be the head of things, though one (Kvnich Snigzof) seems to be the leader of even /them/. A middle-aged gobber in heavy bear-fur, he struts proudly at the caravan's head, atop a great wolf and with a dragonspitter across his shoulder... |
||
| − | |||
| − | And declares the caravan open for business! The caravan spreads across a full quarter of Goblintown, and has quick business by the arvek and oruch, though other races hang back a while, in general. At first. |

| − | The caravan is brightly colored, with wheels and cogs and other things. The Snigzofs' great flag flies over it all, a raging wolf with a thunderbelcher held firmly in its jaws. The old crest held a pair of blades, but with the invention of the thunderbelcher, the dragonspitter, the merchant family was quick to adopt. |

Latest Events
We are in the process of transitioning to AresMUSH and Pathfinder 2e. Due to the aging nature of our database, we have locked character creation. However, we are still open to new players!
New players who wish to join the fun can join as a guest and request an online and on-duty staffer to make a character with a temporary password and name.
Current players may request a new alt character object by filing a +request in-game, although availability is somewhat limited.
