| − | + | Rumor has it if you press your ears to the ground, a sound can be heard. Like a metronome: ''"tink, tink, tink."'' A miner, lost to the depths below, but still mining. I don't know much about miners, but I'll tell you what I know. In search of runite ore, Nuoluoski dug and dug. He dug a great pit. Trip after trip he came back with thousands of ores - runite. He made hundreds of trips, bringing up tons of this fancy new ore. Until eventually... He didn't come back. In search of his source, JanisPetke followed his tunnels down and eventually came to a great chasm. A pit deeper than the light would penetrate and wider than a king's castle. In the breach it seemed as though rocks were whispering. A secretive society of whispering stones. Fearing insanity, Janis left this place, but not without taking a whispering stone to study. | |

I don't know if they've always been there, or if the stones from that pit have started wandering out themselves, but now those stones, those "rune slates" can be found all over. That is all I know about miners. |

A new face saw what JanisPetke had accomplished and studied it further. Mammothb, as he was known, discovered how to use the essence of these talismans to create many runes. Driven by a mad need to "make them better" he created so many runes that they brought the attention of other things. Hungry things. Demons began roaming the great pit dug by Nuoluoski. Giants began wandering the land above.The lands were no longer safe. A new power would be needed to aid in these dangerous times. Perhaps these runes could be used for something? |

With so many big-mean-and-nasties running around slapping the shark out of you, you want to be sure that you're well stocked on food. Y'know, so you don't die.

And that, dear Reader, is why I'm here: To show you how to make the most of your meal! So get your +20 ladle and let's get cooking! What's that? You don't have one? Well, I guess anything will do.

It was a strange day when that mage from the outlands showed up. Why would a supposedly accomplished practitioner desire to attend an academy built to teach commonfolk the ways of magic? This seemed suspicious even to me. But lo, the administrators let him in, gave him a bunk, let him study. On this day my focus changed. No longer would I focus on illusions. Instead I would focus on him. On Zekret. | It was a strange day when that mage from the outlands showed up.

Once on the topic of portals he seemed to hang, like a scarf on a nail. Something about them had caught his interest, drove him on. He began to toil day over night working to perfect some new spell. At sundown I would often find him opening small portals. These portals would form like a dinner plate thrown into the air, then burst into a column of energy and collapse into itself. The sight was enchanting, but also... unpleasant. It seemed to me as though something was trying to get through from the other side. | Once on the topic of portals he seemed to hang, like a scarf on a nail.

While I slept, it called to me. A swirling mass of energy; of wings and tentacles. A buzzing sound, like a thousand mosquitos around my head. The mosquitos spoke to me in murmured voices.

Over time I had learned more about the man. Zekret was a jovial character. A large man, bearded, with locks of bushy brown hair growing untamably from the top of his head. He was a friend to everyone; even those I would have deemed undeserving. He didn't carry himself like a practitioner of magic, either. He didn't wrap himself in mysteries and enigmatic talk as so many of our peers would. No, Zekret had the air of a businessman, or perhaps an innkeeper. Nor was he cruel in those days. In all his time at the Academy, I never once saw him so much as swat at a fly. My suspicions of him, his motivations, his actions... perhaps I had been wrong. Despite all my misgivings it struck me that he genuinely seemed as though he wanted to do good. | Over time I had learned more about the man. Zekret was a jovial character.

Panic washed over me. I fled. The next few moments were a blur. I had to warn someone. I had to warn everyone. As I ran the souls pursued me like a swarm of angry hornets. They easily overtook me. I conjured forth the magical hands again and used them to keep them at bay. Continuously they attempted to fly at me, to what I can only assume was possess me. I had no way of stopping them from invading this world, but I could at least keep my body my own. | Panic washed over me. I fled. The next few moments were a blur. I had to warn someone.

And with that, I was standing in front of Zekret's motionless body again. As I turned to do as I had been instructed, I saw a pulse of light emanate from the crystal below the portal. Suddenly, a great pressure enveloped the room. Those who had been possessed fell to the ground. Their flesh seemed to be pulled off from their bones as this energy washed over them. It came to me, then it passed through me. I was unharmed. I heard a familiar voice whisper from deep within my mind: "Hurry Reamus." | And with that, I was standing in front of Zekret's motionless body again.

The whispering stone brought from the depths by JanisPetke seemed to trigger a resurgence in mining. The hunt for whispering stones had begun. Droves of 'scapers flocked to the mines, discovering treasures previously discarded. Geodes, as they came to be called, often contained small collections of ore. Some 'scapers had the misfortune of mistaking average stones for these geodes. Some have even paid tens of millions of gold just to get a look at an average stone. But not all was amiss. Some more fortunate 'scapers discovered something new in the geodes. Talismans. These strange carvings seemed to gather essence when in the presence of certain tasks, allowing the wielder to later imbue whispering stones with something akin to magic. This magic, however, has caused things to stir. '''Dark''' things. '''Hungry''' things. | The whispering stone brought from the depths by JanisPetke seemed to trigger a resurgence in mining.
