| 6/22/2006 | WHAT'S NEW IN THE PARK? |
|---|---|
|
Some people generously place healing herbs or potions on the benches in the gathering spots around town to help others. Unfortunately, some have abused this generosity by taking many more herbs or potions than they need.
To limit such greedy behavior, some of these drop points have been modified to limit the number of healing herbs or potions that any one character can remove during a short period. Doses are now taken singly off the bench, so that you can take just enough to heal what ails you while still leaving some for the next wounded adventurer. If you add healing items to the bench, you can remove additional quantities of others that you need more. This new feature will be added to a town at the discretion of the town's GM guru. Please direct any discussion of the system to the forums in the Towns/Town Systems discussion category. |

| 6/22/2006 | RUMORS OF CULT OF V'TULL IN TA'VAALOR DENIED |
|
For long centuries, Ta'Vaalor has been proud of its fine military history and loyal to its patron, Kai. Persistent rumors about a cult in the city devoted to V'tull are completely with foundation, according to a report recently issued by a Royal Commission charged to investigate. "Although we have found some limited evidence of ancient V'tullian practices," said the court historian upon the release of the report, "there is no evidence of any resurgence of a V'tullian cult since it was repressed following the uprisings in the year 2537."
When asked about a growing sense of a V'tullian influence in a certain area of Ta'Vaalor, the court historian dismissed the reports as patently fictitious. "Any lingering influence of V'tull could not have endured over these long years," he replied. "I am completely confident that only the wholesome influences of the Liabo could be found anywhere within the circling walls of Ta'Vaalor." |

| 6/21/2006 | A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING |
|
For long years, worshippers have served the Arkati in privacy behind the walls of many of the Great Houses of Elanthia. Through the faith of these loyal followers, the altars of the Houses have been blessed.
Sacred spaces in the Great Houses are now valid shrines for purposes of weapon bonding and paladin spells that require a shrine. However, because the Houses are protected against intrusion, the Paladin spell Aid the Fallen (1620) cannot be anchored within House walls. |
