Clarification on the Good/Evil Issue
Since the event I have heard a great deal of rumors related to the good/evil issue. Some of the things that I have heard have been in-game, some out of game, some true, some false.
With the near destruction of the world, I am taking this opportunity to present an in-game exercise in character alignment morality. The intention is to spark a situation where PCs are forced to have the conversation about good and evil, and consider their position and both sides of the argument, even if their position is to be adamantly against it, or support it whole heartedly.
This is not an open invitation to PVP, on either side of the fence. There is no conclusion that I am planning to force for the future of the game. This is not labeled as a permanent change and never was, and so out yourselves at your own long-term peril.
The lifting of a specific law of the Kingdom, is clearly labeled a “Temporary” action made by the kingdom, the reasoning explained in the previous prologue. It makes sense, and allows for a period of time where the discussion can be used to enhance RP and make people think about a deep in-game topic. Statements related to the planes and the forces of good and evil are being made as well, but these statements are in-game and not necessarily verifiable. You do not necessarily need to believe that they are true or false, and you may draw your own conclusions from what you read and hear. We are creating an in-game environment of uncertainty, so that your character, be they a merchant or a paladin, may come to their own conclusions, and either stand by their own convictions or allow them to be developed further in one direction or the other.

NPC of the Month
Paul Yan
The NPC Award for the month of February goes to Paul Yan for his performance as the Keeper of the Forbidden Library of Chronicler! Countless players have commented on his excellent portrayal of the wizened old guardian, and his demeanor greatly contributed towards making what was essentially a shed feel as grand and holy a place as the Library was intended to be. Thank you Paul for your hard work and all you add to the game!Paul Yan
