- | THE ROUGTERO COUNCIL, CONSISTING OF A REPRESENTATIVE FROM EVERY CLASS OF CITIZEN IN THE CITY, HAS ENACTED THE FOLLOWING LAWS. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 1) A citizen has the right to defend his own health and happiness, and also has the right to defend another citizen who may require assistance. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 2) Any unprovoked action which will deprive a citizen of his health and well being, particularly to the extent that the citizen can no longer care for himself or his family is a punishable offence. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 3) Any unprovoked action which will deprive a citizen of his means to wealth and happiness is a punishable offence. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 4) Any use of magic to deprive a citizen of his or her personality, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 5) Any citizen accused of a punishable offence must be given the means, through magic or otherwise, to prove his innocence. If proven innocent, the accused has the right to pursue a judgement against their accuser through a mediator appointed by the council. If the accusation was made solely with intent to harm, this is considered a punishable offense under law number 3. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | The Rougtero Council has approved a series of patrols throughout the city. 14 guard stations have been set up and are manned 24 hours per day, 6 days per week. They are equipped with bells to alert guards to problems. The patrols consist of various volunteers from various groups including Raites, Anubians, Orusians, Torites, and various marines, include some priests of Neptune. The map attached is a rough outline of the routes of the guard patrols. Each of the 7 patrols are to made up as follows, though some may have less people at the moment, ALL patrols will have a minimum of 3 guards: | + | |

- | A Theory About Recent Events (by Phil the Sage of Rougtero) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Recently, I have been looking into the dark prophecy that was delivered only a few weeks ago. Lately there have been groups of people gathering on street corners and in local taverns to discuss the prophecy of doom and gloom. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Omaro Hepato joined such a group only a couple of weeks ago, and would describe them as "a loose collection of people trying to make sense out of the prophecy and to reduce the damage it represents." | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Their interpretation revolves around the idea the At'ena has sent the prophecy. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | They intend | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There is not enough evidence to either confirm or refute their claim at this time, I believe. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Rougtero Council Implements Guard Patrols | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The new Rougtero Council has implemented a series of guard patrol that they hope will protect the city and help keep Rougtero a peaceful and prosperous city. The laws that the patrol will enforce are very general and cover many situations when the guard may intervene. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | According to the council representative of the Solarium, Jormar Oldarth, there will be a total of 7 city patrols consisting of a minimum of 3 well trained guards each of various backgrounds. He also said there are 14 well marked guard stations that will be manned around the clock that are equipped with bells to sound the guard in case of problems. Noteworthy locations for these stations are Dominations, | + | |

- | Elf/Orc Conflict Appears to be Over (**END OF ELF/ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The conflict between the Elves and the Orcs appears to be over. According to reports, the conflict was started by a third party. This fact was discovered by a party of adventurers and later the Elves and Orcs teamed up to take down the organization involved. The leader of the organization is supposedly still at large. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Elves will still continue to charge a toll through their territory and the guard patrols through there will still continue. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Road from Gendle to Portal Farm Completed | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A road that extends from Gendle to the Portal is now complete, but work is still being done to improve the road by adding rails. At this time, the toll for using the road is unknown. Also construction is being started on a road from Gendle to New Alimar. | + | |

- | Sep-7-2005 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A plague has spread across the planet of Jaern. All major population centers have been hit and hit hard. It is known that magical healing will stop the symptoms and fend off dying, but they come back within weeks. As such, there are long lines in some of the larger cities where healers heal and Orusians and other priests attempt to feed them units. Dwarves around Jaern are panicking and desperately searching for relief. | + | |

- | Nov-19-2005 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | As joyous news of the recent retrieval of a powerful divine artifact of Isis spreads across the plague-stricken islands of Jaern, celebrations quickly turn to barely-controlled mobs. Soon after the abilities granted by the artifact begin relieving wearied clerics, the plague changed. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Public outcry at the temples for raising false hope has seriously damaged relations between the people and the priesthoods. Many are turning to alternative sources of healing, most significantly the nomadic potions recently released. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Resentment against the CMG and other organized wizard guilds has grown as well, as the recent sudden and unexplained changes to the plague have, in some minds, solidified the idea that the plague is entirely their fault, not just for breaking the quarantine, but perhaps part of a greater plan to increase the public’s reliance upon mage guilds. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Still others are convinced that the plague is a punishment for the many that have lost faith since the leaving of the gods. Sects of former priests of Tarus, Isis, Atena, and Ra have been denouncing populations worldwide for their faithlessness. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There have also been numerous reports of attacks against isolated priests of gods that have recently come to prominence. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 02-08-2006 (**BEGIN ALMAR/ | + | |

- | + | ||
- | Vormaxia and Zeferin cannot grant their followers spells greater than rank 6 on this plane. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | All of the gods mentioned above work as per normal on other planes. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | All known off-world portals are being watched either overtly or covertly by priests of Anubis and Orus (or just followers of these deities). Priests of Almar will be apprehended and jailed (and probably executed due to public outcry). | + | |

- | OTHER NOTEWORTHY EVENTS: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A portal has been created in Little Karfelon to connect the portal farm and Centralia Island. The portal is free to use from the portal farm end, but costs 5 silver to use from Little Karfelon unless a ticket is obtained from a participating Centralia Island merchant stating something was purchased from them. | + | |

- | Dear Member, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | I am sure you know that the current plague situation has hit Jaern hard and that the Centralia Guild of Wizards is doing its best to assist with efforts to control and eventually eliminate the plague. It is to this end that we request that all members capable of doing so learn the new healing spell that we have spent so long researching. This will assist | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Also, Members might be interested to know that we have made more discoveries concerning the plague. We have discovered an ancient prophecy foretelling of this event. It states that "life will return and the horrible disease will be swept from the face of the planet." | + | |

- | 50,000sp gets you the previous level of identification (non-standard items (artifacts) can be identified to a certain level, all of the above effects are also revealed. In addition items flaws are also revealed.) | + | |

- | + | ||
- | These healers will heal anyone that comes to them for free and they will accompany any adventures that hire them for only 10 silver per day. Any GMs can use them on their games and players may also hire one at the GM's descretion. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | The Refusion – Jaern’s dimension is somehow moved within the multiverse causing all portals to go down permanently. In addition, all magic stopped working, from magic items to active magical effects. The gods also seem to have disappeared. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | 04-18-2009 (**HEGEMONY PLOT LINE BEGINS**) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Magic is, by and large, working again. This is mainly due to the actions of the Lojem Mages Guild. A gigantic ball of supercharged terisium crashed down near the portal farm. Representatives from the LMG and a party of adventurers were instantly dispatched to check it out. It was immediately obvious that standing near it gave you a limitless supply of spell units and that your items worked again. Less scrupulous people would have horded, but the LMG devices a plan to create a powerful magical explosion that would cause the magical energy to distribute somewhat evenly around our world. This plan was successfully implemented. After which mages started regaining EU and items began functioning again. Pre-established interplanar gateways did not restart and best predictions from those who should know, say that they won't. There is no word on where this ball of terisium came from. | + | |

The Centralia GoW, in conjuction with mages guilds from Lojem, Liston and Jersey, are sponsoring adventurer missions to adjacent planes in hopes of finding a commonality... someplace that is recognized from Before.

- | The old Portal Farm was devastated when magic went away. Stores quickly dried up and there were food riots which had to be forcefully put down. Some Barrios (like Little Lentri) shut themselves off for the duration. With some portals being re-established some normalcy is returning. These portals all pass through the off world site known as Alpha currently: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The alpha site is on a dead rock of a world. The atmosphere is breathable by jaernians but any intense activity is likely to leave them hacking up a lung. The air has a sulphery smell and causes eye irritation in some. There is nothing living on this world. Gravity and air pressure are Jaernian nominal. There are a lot of portals at the site. They are laid out in a rather obvious order. The portal to/from basement 3 at the CGoW is labeled ' | + | |

- | At the alpha site there are now several tents selling adventuring type wares at roughly double normal cost. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Portals are very much operational, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | All gods are back and this includes some presence from Vormaxia. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Rumors are coming out of Centralia (based on burials and such) that there have been some bad interactions in the new portal openings and possibly some military engagements. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There are also rumors of people disappearing. Occasionally someone will re-appear | + | |
- | + | ||
- | When Lock Kylar got re-energized there was, again, major prison breaks. Discussions are ongoing to figure a better place to inprison such people. In the meantime rewards are again posted for the recapture or information that leads to such. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Disease on planets visited by Jaernians seems rampant. Several missions have reported diseases of Jaernian origin killing hundreds, perhaps thousands. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There was a major break-in at sky skimmers Inc. and a lot of their propellant was stolen... Investigation is ongoing. | + | |

- | Anyone who has any elemental units, or is carrying a regen or effect elemental item will find themselves unable to enter the Kurago effective this week and until further notice. It won't be immediately obvious that that is the reason but someone intent on doing so could figure it out. Residence of the Kurago when queries will answer, if they can be bothered, that they don't want that " | + | |
- | + | ||
- | One of the escapees from Lock Kylar has been captured. He is being held in a blue field pending construction of a new magical prison. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There are now several confirmed stories of military engagements off-world. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | People disappearing continues | + | |

- | Rumors of diseased worlds have also been confirmed. Confirmed body counts are in the tens of thousands. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In a memo from the Centralia GoW to various other mage guilds for popular distribution we learn that we have made contact with the enemy. The suspicion that Jaern was duped into ridding itself of magic and dislocating itself is now a fact. Full details are still being kept under wraps but people are encouraged to keep an even lower profile and NOT to attempt any reprisals on their own. | + | |

- | Construction of the Rougtero Guild of Wizards has begun. This tower will work as a branch of the Centralia GoW and will initially be staffed by CGoW personnel. Initial plans are that it will house a portal to the Alpha site. Future plans include a portal directly to the CGoW and a direct connection the Library. All Guild services will be available at this site. Membership remains 10,000sp/year (or two weeks designated labor for the Guild). | + | |

- | + | ||
- | There have been no Sky Skimmer flights since magic returned. It is rumored that it is possibly more than coincidence that they appeared in such a timely fashion just when magic collapsed. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A load of bad meat was brought in from an otherworld. Half dozen people died and around 30 were ill before the source was tracked. Shipments of meat from that world have been stopped pending figuring out what was wrong with it. A citizens action group at the Great Rice Paddy has started a "buy local" / | + | |
- | "Jaern First" campaign encouraging people to buy and consume Jaernian products as they are, by nature of being from the same world as you, better for you. A vocal group from Na'Roo (which got the worst of it) is calling for governmental regulations and inspections and standards of imported goods. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | Some nomads and priests are claiming that elemental magic has somehow been tainted. Nomads possessing this tainted magic (in the form of EU or items) cannot enter the Kurago. Nothing actively forbids it, they just cannot enter. Some are now believing that the massive ball of terisium that was exploded to re-energize Jaern was itself tainted. A few are now calling that act irresponsible. Prominent | + | |
- | researchers are looking into it. In related news, 2 of the top researchers have joined the ranks of those people who have been disappearing (or who have been disappeared as now seems the case). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Priesthoods are still sending support personnel off world to combat disease. Those that have returned to take a break or to get more resources return bearing tales of horror. They just don't have the resources to even keep up let alone get ahead and stop it. Segregation and Isolation do not appear to be halting the spread. Anyone coming back from these worlds is subject to a spectrum of magical cleansing | + | |

- | The Grove of Rougtero has announced progress in their off world disease fights. The spread on one world has been reduced to near zero. Only a handful of new reported illnesses in two weeks. They attribute this to new processes of isolation, cleanliness, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A large number of severely damaged Centralian naval vehicles came into a secluded port two days ago. No official word from the Lordship other than whoever saw that must have been mistaken. The person who saw and reported this has allowed the memory to be shared multiple times and hundreds have paid to see it. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The big news of the week. The enemy now has a name: The Garizian Hegemony. It is made known that this is a tight federation of worlds. The seat of power is Garizia | + | |

- | One source, who shall remain anonymous, has also made it public that there is another multi-world force called "The Kingdom" | + | |

- | While not complete yet the Rougtero Guild of Wizards IS operational. People may come for any of their wizarding needs. Grand Opening celebration still planned for 9/ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The demon taint of magic has been confirmed. All elemental magic on Jaern definitely has a demonic feel to it. Anyone possessing this taint cannot enter the Kurago. If you dump your EU and heal up off world then your golden... no taint. Ditto for regenerating and effect items. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Diseased worlds seem to be under control. Based mainly on the contributions of the Rougtero Grove the spread of disease has all but stopped. Many priests and other medical personnel | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Rougtero Council is attempting to setup extradition agreements with all possible governments that exist on Jaern, as well as any off-world ones they have access to. They have hired out a group to actually do the prospecting and negotiations with the governments and will pay any costs along with a reward for the criminal. All of this was discussed at the public council meetings, so it is public record. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The dock fees in Rougtero have doubled in the past month for non-Rougtero based ships. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Rougtero Council is requesting to assistance of adventurers for the various patrols in the city. The adventurers are to sign up at the Torite Stockade and will be paid 20sp per day. They will be given flexible hours to account for last minute " | + | |

- | There are rumors abounding that Jaern is about to launch | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There is no proof of any of this. However various priesthoods have stated that there is truth here that their deity has shared with them. These proclamations have become widespread and public causing all manner of discussion, argument, riots, etc... Jaernians have very strong feelings going both ways on this. Many local governments have believed enough to issue proclamations for or against such an act were it to occur. Temples have likewise stated their opinions. The tally on these is listed below. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Events from this week: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * The temple of Isis in Centralia and Rougtero has said it will not be providing any assistance to Adventurers or any military entities until this matter is settled. At that point, depending on the outcome, that may change. Adventurer' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | | + | |
- | + | ||
- | | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Several adventure notices looking for people to help the target world were actually traps. There are a number of missing adventurers and half dozen time stopped areas around Centralia and the Lojem Portal Farm that seem to be lasting more than 24 hours _AND_ seems pretty resistant to revocate (not that anyone is throwing rate burners at it to try). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | --------------------- | + | |
- | The tally: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Centralian Lordship - denounces the action (but are working toward it) | + | |
- | Centralia GoW - for the attack | + | |
- | Rougtero Council - for the attack (narrow vote, one member resigned) | + | |
- | Rougtero GoW - Neutral but is preparing for the counterattack | + | |

- | + | ||
- | 09-17-2009 (03/ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A group of adventurers happened to be present on the Hegemony home world on 3/16 (on an unrelated matter). Around lunchtime in the city they were in, everyone present just dropped. Possibly 1 in 10,000 didn't go down immediately. Approximately 20 minutes later the world seemed to sparkle and the adventurers noticed that they no longer had any type of magic (units, items, etc...). Incants all went up in a poof of smoke. They also witnessed some of the survivors seemingly talking to themselves and then falling. One of the party (before magic stopped working) was able to determine that those people who drop were still alive but their souls were gone. The party stayed on the world for another 2 days during which the saw the population dying due to exposure and also noticed that animal and plant life had started dying as well. Projection within a week there would be nothing alive on this planet. | + | |
- | The Hegemony blames Jaern for this and has declared their intention to put an end to all things Jaernian. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In slightly unrelated news, a few hundred people on Jaern likewise fell down around this period. It was determined that most were either Hegemony supported or those that were extremists against the Hegemony slaughter. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In completely unrelated news, Jaernian elemental magic has been declared free of any demonic taint that it had had. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In even more unrelated news, Jaernian forces engaged several small portals that opened up on Jaern and fed soldiers, possibly Hegemony, though. Centralian officials have acknowledged engagements on several adjacent planes also. All military posts and personnel are on high alert. Citizens are urged to report anything odd ASAP. | + | |
