Rune Fencers—Adoulin's Protectors of the Faith (03/25/2013)

Rune Fencers—Adoulin's Protectors of the Faith (03/25/2013)

Rune fencers conjure an ancient elemental script that harbors primeval forces—and bend them to their very will. They call forth the latent potential bubbling just beneath the ink, turning it into either tempestuous blades that carve the flesh of foes or ethereal shields that protect the meek. This delicate balance between fury and virtue is the hallmark of runeology, and those walking down its path must heed this accord if they are to become masters of the craft.

Read more about these historical teachings.


Geomancers: Wielders of Nature's Force (03/21/2013)

Geomancers: Wielders of Nature's Force (03/21/2013)

Geomancers lovingly coax out the energies that course through the world's lifestream so that they may survive another day amidst the Ulbukan continent's savage wilds. The practice of geomancy—concentrating organic powers within luopans and enhancing their potency with the sublime sounds of handbells—is as storied and enchanting as Ulbuka itself, and while both their existences had remained hidden from Middle Landers for years, the archives in this western land house ample stores of information on this mysterious art.

In the Field: The Coalitions of Adoulin (03/07/2013)

In the Field: The Coalitions of Adoulin (03/07/2013)

With a simple decree from Ygnas S. Adoulin reinstating the long-abandoned pioneering initiative, Adoulin's social structure and economy changed in a heartbeat, with various organizations known as "coalitions" sprouting up to support the effort.

As such, the coalitions are not as steeped in history as other areas of the nation, but their work has a profound effect on the daily lives of Adoulinians of every stripe and class.

Let us take this opportunity to catch a glimpse of the coalitions through the eyes of one of Adoulin's own.

A Farewell to Cookies and a Greeting to Arms (02/06/2013)

A Farewell to Cookies and a Greeting to Arms (02/06/2013)

Ask any person who's been to that far western continent, and they'll tell you that the most sought after souvenir from Adoulin is a bag of trail cookies.

The twelve imposing swords that adorn the blue background of the package stand out as symbols of strength and freedom, so who wouldn't be tempted by such powerful imagery when searching for a quintessentially Ulbukan gift?

One Elvaan merchant from San d'Oria certainly couldn't resist their call, gazing in awe at a flyer for the special sale a local vendor was running on them.

As a token of appreciation to all the pioneers who were helping to colonize the continent, every bag of these succulent confections would contain a baker's dozen instead of the normal twelve...for a limited time only!

Swayed by the sophisticated sales tactic, the man practically tripped over himself to procure a bag, unbeknownst to him at the time that his newly purchased prize was about to spark the most heated conflict his sons had ever known...

Read on for all the decadent details.

Warp over to the site now and be the first to tell your linkshell about the discoveries that await.


The Unfurling Tales of the Mystical Waypoints (12/28/2012)

The Unfurling Tales of the Mystical Waypoints (12/28/2012)

It's me—Zurko-Bazurko. Yes, the Zurko-Bazurko you all know and love.

How are you enjoying the waypointarus? Quite convenient, no? I'm here today to explainy-wain to all interested parties about how exactly these magic devices work, and what the purpose behind them is.

Our story-wory starts on a trip bound for the continent of Quon. We were accompanying the esteemed Anastase to the Middle Lands. I stood on the deck, casting a runic spell to watch over the vessel, when our mastaru began a treatise on the waypoints and their energies. The memory of that lecture burns fresh in my mind to this day.

Don't holdy-wold back. Read the secrets within for yourself.

* Note from the editor: Zurko-Bazurko's ramblings were a bit...abrasive, so we have taken the liberty of altering certain terms and expressions to make them more palatable for a general audience.
