Following the hints of several mages, who don't want to be named in public I visited the Grey Witch Karla today. Most of you will know Karla as an old grumpy lady greedy for profit. But thats a different story, which is nothing compared to the sensationally news I will present to you today. It all started as whispering tale of a mage from the mountains in the North who was unsatisfied with his magikal skills after serveral years of hard research. Although forbidden by the Great Council, he secretly started studying the art of magikal metamorphosis, guided by a dark alchemist. This is told to be many years ago. But now, in the last days there are several reports coming to my hear, that a new magik has been sighted in Terra. What else, then asking Karla, the Grey Witch about these rumors and news.

Not much happened the following days. Gabriel has been studying in the library. His army grew stronger day by day,with people enlisting at the barracks. In the aftermath of the siege people saw the strength in their leaders and they have grown eager to fight for their land. The Angel-priestess has been training them. Rafaela approached Gabriel during his studies and said.
"What have you been doing all this time?"
"I studied. I can now summon even the more powerfull creatures of your race."
"Good, we ll need them soon"
"We must look for allies,even with the might of the Archangel we cannot assault Baal, he is too strong and in his land our spells will be of no use"
"That s exactly why I m here. We must assemble a search party and go to Cliffspeer again"
"I have ordered to rebuild the citadel there to use the pond's waters at the best.We will be well fortified against Baal in Cliffspeer but what more than holy water is there?"
"They say powerful creatures dwell in the cold coastal caves near Cliffspeer . Also moving the capital is the right discision." Rafaela stated.
"The mountain dwellers are monsters and deceivers what use may them be to us?"
"Powerfull monsters and decievers ... Besides we must check Dodinas. by now he will be gathering an army of his mighty Spirit warriors"

Gabriel s army arrived in a day, just on time to save the populace of the northen porttown of Cliffspeer. After a long battle the undead army is scattered and flees to the night. The tired humans have no spirit left to chase them. The next morning, as the army returns home they meet an angel resting under a tree out of breath and wounded by arrows.
As Gabriel, his medicinmen and his commanders approach him the angel says:
"Quickly, Rafaela and the citadel is in danger"
"What happened?"
"During the previous night Baal s army started gathering in our borders...We sent scouts...They were taken probably killed. We thought we would be safe in the morning so we stood awake all night. The sun came up but after a while a black shroud covered the land. We were unable to dispel it."
And the Angel continued

"Sire,Sire...! A new mage has taken over a kingdom sire! Unlike all the rest he has taken oaths to Light and Heaven...!!!"
The cheerfull Angel waited for his deity response...
"Rafaela, you know I abandoned faith in the mage's cast long ago. Their pride and arrogance is to be blamed. They seek my aid only to become powerfull, and then they forget all about the light and goodness and their holy retribution quest. I m afraid i m doomed to stand alone till the destructon of all things."
"But sire, the corrupted kingdoms of Nether and Eradication grow bolder every day...Soon Satan himself will arive to break the walls of our Golden city"
"Perhaps I rulled long enough, my dear Rafaela. Maybe we have to submit to this new Era of corruption and death."
"Have you lost your fighting spirit, my lord? I know good will prevail someday, it must... And through these dark times, the Sun will rise again! Stronger and brighter! At least let me go and guide him. Teach him your bidding..." Rafaela paused, Sun did not respond. "Do you know what he did when he set foot on his throne? He repaired your long abandoned altar and lifted high your broken statue, gathered his people and sang you prayers again. Surely you must have heard..."
Sun god laughed.

It has been a while since the buildings for the Terra Herald office have been first rented. Actually the office has been empty for quite some time. Mabye it has something to do with the fact, that the keys to the office have been lost several times and each newly hired chief editor wasn't able to get into his office.
Anyways, now it's finally happing. I can hear the moaning of the printing press a few feets below me and there are people coming and going, bringing in news from all over Terra.
We are still at the very beginning, but the idea of the Terra Herald (first born late summer 2007) takes shape.
Hope to see you around again soon.

A young caucasian man was seen breaking into the Terra Herald office yesterday. Terra Herald employees report no missing items, simply a CV with attached samples of work. Police have no suspects, although the news office claims it has hired the mysterious intruder.

As I look around I see relics of the past, a dusty old print press, a few goblins, a dwarf or two and a lizard man amongst others, all wearing old leather aprons stained with ink, well I think it's ink anyways!?
In the far corner of the room there is a rickety old roller desk, almost buried beneath a mountain of paperwork, looking a little closer I can see that there is a faded sign on it, the sign says "Editor", with a deep sign of resignation I head for my new home.
A week later........
After wading through at least half of that mountain of paper work I am saddened beyond belief, mostly that pile was old, even ancient stories, accounts of our past history. The few pieces that are still legible speak of alliances and treachery, of tumultuous battles between hoards of undead and the angels of heaven, between ravening armies of fire and the creatures of nature, they speak of the earth shattering magics cast seemingly by phantoms of the aether. But look as I may, I can find nothing that points to an author, not one story is left complete, alas, I fear all has perished with the passing of time.
I send forth this appeal to the mighty (and the not so mighty) mages of Terra; " Bring forth your scribes that your histories may be recorded for posterity. Tell us the stories of your glorious battles, recall for us all those moments when a compatriot made you laugh so hard you thought you'd cry, tell us the secrets of your success. What guilds have you known, why were they great, who were the mighty heroes that you have fought along side of, or that you have fought against?"
"Bring us your stories that we may let the populace of Terra know."
