• June 14
  • A soft rumble can be felt within the lands of Sage as a brilliant green light shines out from deep within the ancient Druid temples before washing over the entire forest in a warm peaceful wave. The question of what caused the rumble is soon answered as the ancient branches of the eternal tree rise higher into the sky than ever before, growing before the very eyes of the druids and rangers of the land below as they gaze upon its powerful form with awe. It appears recent events have stirred its powers. The Eternal Tree’s Broadened branches appear stronger almost muscular. All around the sacred temple roots from the tree explode from the dampened soil exposing the tree’s ancient form buried deep below the earth. The ancient spirits of the forest have been roused...
  • This day has the preklek menace struck terror into the very heart of Kelay. A surpise attack, utilizing preklek made explosives, was made upon the Kelay Tavern in early afternoon hours. Several injuries and a few fatalaties were reported. Clean up has already begun, and the possiblity of counter strike upon the alien horde in their stronghold grows.

  • In an unexpected reversal of events, the build up of Preklek forces along the Sage border seems to have ceased, and numbers in fact seem to be dwindling.There is a strong liklihood that the casualties taken in their attempted assault on Cenril, have limited their ability to attack. Citizens are advised, however, that the woods of Sage remained primed and boobytrapped for the advent of war, and that they should not be wandering in the woods without the escort of the elven rangers provided for just such a purpose.

  • An army of wood-elves has amassed within the borders of their Sage Forest homeland, under the joint command of Lirithen Lirolae and Rikailin. The forest has been laced with deadly traps, and anyone wandering the woods unattended would surely be killed. Patrols of rangers on all four borders of the woods direct and accompany travellers safely through the forest to ensure they avoid a gruesome end; however any and all Preklek are shot dead on sight..

  • Archdruid Liana recognizes that war is coming to Sage thanks to the imminent threat of the Preklek invasion. Wishing to bring the people together to protect the forest, she has appealed for any seeking to protect it to contact her directly rather than making their intentions publicly known. In this way, she hopes to surprise any invaders. All who live within the boundaries of Sage Forest are expected to help in the effort to rid the forests of Preklek, be that fighting, healing or feeding.
