Old foes and friends, Part I:
Have you ever wondered what has become of our old foes and friends from games past? Well here is a short update on them.
Virakar, the red skinned step child from SB are playing WoW and killing baddies. It seems they have become a bunch of carebear PvE lovers, such a shame. They defiantly need to be shown the fun or the pain in their case of PvP which im sure we would be more than willing to do. ;)
Stay tuned for Part II of “Old Foes and Friends”, in the next issue of the newsletter!

In The Beginning, Tales of Lok-ri and his Heirs:
By: Hoth Lok-ri
Prolog:
“You have your mother’s eyes … my child.”
And with a soft touch the old elf brushes a small disheveled piece of hair back into place. The young elf maiden smiled impetuously as the old elf stared intently into her face.
They stood transfixed for several moments in the quiet silence of the forest gazing into each others eyes. Then as the sun began its dive into the western horizon they turn and continue their walk.
With the sun nearly gone they enter a small glad in the heart of the forest itself, and with a small motion from his time worn hand at an old campsite the young maid quickly moves to prepare a fire as the old elf sits down and gazes at her and her work. Quick and efficient with an economy of movement that speaks of her skills in wilderness survival the maid prepares and lights the fire with materials carefully stored for that very purpose, and in but a few moments it is dancing in a small set of stones and begins to banish the now thickening darkness of the fleeting twilight of dusk.
The maid then reaches into her pack and pulls out a small portion of well prepared food that she has careful stored for travel. She hands the old elf a portion and begins to gaze toward the clear spring fed pond when out of the darkness another young voice breaks the still calm of the glad.
“Ahhh I see you forgot the cups my … sister.” She seems to struggle with the word “sister” as one who had rarely uttered it before and even now found the word and its implication hard to believe.
Into the firelight steps another elven maid of near identical build as the first, bearing 3 small cups of fresh water.
“No … I have my collapsible ones here with me now, and in but a moment I would have produced them for our meal.”
The old elf smiled at both of his prodigy and motioned for the girls … now nearly grown to womanhood to sit.
“I see that you two are pampering an old foo …” he stops in mid word and corrects himself “elf who deserves not your service … but appreciates it none the less.”
“But that is not why we are here tonight. I thought that now as we are newly reunited as kin and family would be a good time to tell tales of our common ancestor. To speak of the ages and those who came before to make us who and what we are today. To find that common bond and celebrate it. For we are the Lok-ri and from him did we come into the twilight. He and others paved our past to make us what we are and will become. We will remember them in story and song and through our remembrance honor them.”
“Come now my children and let me share the tales of the past with you as they where shared with me by my father and mother, your grandsires. Let us tell the tales of the Lok-ri and embrace our past.”
To be continued...
