Re: Beware the Lying Beaks of Caelum
Late Summer of year 3-
1. Ryleh has died, and Atlantis rules over the Oceans.
At this time I wish to thank Zeldor, who stayed to the very end and did all of his turns, even though hope had long since been lost. I know Zeldor was not impressed by the Ryleh Epic hero, and if he can dig up the Epic Heroes Thread on the Mod Forum-likely page 2 or 3-post some suggestions and I will give them all serious consideration.
2. MA Ermor's imprisoned Pretender broke free.
3. Bandar Log and MA Ermor are the only 2 races to have not tasted war. While their empires look good on paper, many empires do before they face a live opponent.

A gold coin for your soul!
The wily priest kings of Mictlan have resorted to luring clueless independent commanders to serve as living shields for them against the seeking arrows of justice. Human scouts and captains now march with the inhuman savages.
The elders of Caelum have to dig deep into their wisdom and ancient lores of war to hold the screaming weredevils of Mictlan at bay.

Re: A gold coin for your soul!
"And what pray tell did the Eriu spy have to say for himself before being crushed by a War Elephant?" asked the Arcoscephale General.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crushing_by_elephant
Stifling a yawn the Elephant Trainer replied, "He said the Eriu pretender trusts us not, and decided to scout our lands for possible air drops."
"Not surprising," the General mused. "Obviously the Eriu General knows not of humility. But our Astrologers assure us that it will be a one way trip for any thug who drops in Arcoscephale lands."

Astrologer Monthly
News from the Monthly Astrologer:
Caelum appears to have the early advantage over Mictlan. But a war is more than a battle or 4.
Atlantis has come ashore! Fear the slimy ice spitters!
Early Fall of Year 3 also saw the Mictlan and Caelum Pretenders break free. With Ermor's pretender emerging in Late summer, at least 3 races imprisoned their pretenders.

The Last Breath
The Ancient Seraph views the carnage around him. Bodies of burnt, broken, and mishapen enemy jaguars litter the battlefield, some of them struck down in the midst of shapeshifting. Fallen eagle warriors with their false wings attest to the enemies' aspirations of flight.
News came to him of similar successes from other raiding parties, but also of heart wrenching defeats. Of the seven carefully planned raids, four have succeeded and three have failed, a far too costly undertaking considering that surprise was on their side this time.
He had given a good accounting of himself this day. But he is old, his body wracked with disease, his eyes dulled by cataracts, his tired spent wings could no longer lift him up into the sky. He had flung his last thunder this day. He lies back down to experience the breathtaking sunset one last glorious time. Tomorrow, the battle will go on without him.

Re: The Last Breath
Under the waves there was joy unconfined as news that the last of the heretics who dared to defy The Great Panjang's Benevolence have broken, abandoned by their false prophets by the Divine Righteousness of Panjang Himself. The minionry, so long chafing under the rule of the deviants, can finally look forward to peace and the rebuilding of their homes. The sharks wept.
Yet, Panjang is uneasy.
Already have the land dwellers on their mysterious hoofed steeds laid claim to the seas that are His by Right. Though they have learnt to venture into the waves no more, Panjang knows that greedy eyes forever lurk from without, looking for the chance to enslave his minionry. Next time, they may come without warning in greater numbers and power.
Panjang will have to learn about the surface world. Panjang will have to seek friends and teachers.

Re: The Last Breath
Any chance I could get a 24 hr extension? I suppose that a stale at this point wouldn't make much of a difference (and are we on a 48 hr schedule anyway?)
