 ====== The Age of Reckoning ======
-The Age of Reckoning began with the Day of Reckoning, which occured on 08/29/10038. It continued for the nearly six years. The true end of the Age of Reckoning is widely debated, but historians estimate it to be around 08/01/10044.

-Directly before the Day of Reckoning, the island upon which Karfelon was situated had been raised from the bottom of the Alfrego Sea. It was also pulled about 15 mets south, so that it was situated just outside the No-Portal Zone. The waves from this event caused some minor damage to ships and docks in Rougtero and Port Haven, and some washover at the new sea wall, but no significant damage had been reported to any surface towns. Klacktri was damaged a little bit more significantly, and New Karfelon was severely disrupted.

 The godships were destroyed. Several asteroids slammed into Jaern, one splashed down a few mets west of Pregada and the resulting tidal wave destroyed much of the city and killed thousands of citizens. Thousands of people cried out for divine intervention. At around the same time, smaller, specially-designed projectiles destroyed both the godship and the Superi. All gods aboard these crafts were killed.

The other gods will not. At’ena saw it coming and chose to go along with it without warning any of her fellow gods. Was she tired of her position or did she see that, through this, the possibilities opened up to finally fulfill their destinies?

-A Theory About Recent Events (by Phil the Sage of Rougtero)
+[[history:aor:theory|A Theory About Recent Events]] by Phil the Sage of Rougtero is published.
-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.  Most readers will not need reminders of the circumstances surrounding the delivery of it.  And there are almost as many interpretations of the meaning of the prophecy as there are people discussing it.  One group, in particular, has a possible interpretation that may have particularly dangerous ramifications.
+=== 07/20/10044 ===
-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." They haven't given thought to a name for the group yet, says Hepato.   I had the opportunity to speak at length with Mr. Hepato about the prophecy and the group he joined.
+//The following newspaper article was taken out of a Lojem region journal://
-Their interpretation revolves around the idea the At'ena has sent the prophecy.  We all know that many months ago, priests of several faiths seemed to lose touch with their Deity for a time.  Speculation around those events went so far as to suggest that many of the gods perished in the Cataclysmic Meteor Storm.  These speculations have not been neither confirmed nor denied by my investigations.  This group, however, puts responsibility for the prophecy directly on At'ena, saying that She is upset at Her followers for abandoning Her when other faiths were revived very quickly.
-They intend to investigate their particular interpretation in a peaceful manner, however they have not ruled out the possibility of trying to push various city elders and ruling councils on many islands to pass laws to govern the populous into "rightful action" should they find enough evidence to support their claim.  "People need to know that there was a reason such a dark prophecy was delivered.  People need to know that there is a path they must follow, and a consequence for straying.  We want to keep as many people from getting hurt as possible," says Hepato.
-There is not enough evidence to either confirm or refute their claim at this time, I believe.  Therefore, I will continue to ask questions and seek answers as befits my scholarly vocation.  Perhaps one day soon we will know what was intended, and to whom we can grant responsibility for the dread warning, or the devious prank, as the case may be.  Perhaps we may even know in time to prevent the dark times foretold.
 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, the Solarium, and the Dock Master's building.
-Jormar Oldarth went on to say that all citizens of Rougtero are encouraged to take a part in the council's activities and that if they have any concerns about the city, they should see their council representative. The list of all representatives is available to the public at the Solarium and messages for a council member can also be left there. The following groups have representatives on the council: Anubis, Isis, Neptune, Orus, Osiris, Ra, Scrogg, Old T'or, New T'or, Zepherin, Mechants, Laborers, Service Providers, Shipping/Traders, Mages, and Adventurers.
