Another one, because I just saw it!

If this one has yet to be guessed, Men Who Stare At Goats?

In a time where Hallifax and Gaudiguch are the two unrivalled rulers of the world, the two great nations keep each other at bay by means of large aetherships with extremely powerful turrets which could destroy entire villages in a single attack. Both sides are scared of the other and continually keep building bigger and stronger aethership so as not to allow an arms gap. Then suddenly a Gaudiguch commander indulges a bit too much in the local pleasure herb and decides to order the entire Gaudiguch fleet to anihilate all of Hallifax in a pre-emptive strike. Unbeknownst to him however, the Hallifaxians have constructed a device which will trigger upon being attacked by one of these turrets which will fire a set of inward turrets to break all nine seals at once and immediately release all soulless gods from their prisons. Luckily however, the Gaudiguch council has a talented scientist from the old Empire of Celest who is an expert in the field of turret technology who may be capable of providing the information required to deal with this situation. Now if only they could get their recall codes to all the Aetherships...

So what is it Shiri? Because I have no freaking idea.

A Seren jeweler gets hauled before the Moonhart Circle for fighting with his brother in the forest. Meanwhile, said jeweler's tierstone gets stolen by Morgfyre, who also kills his dad, and a big Glomdoring spider runs around and leeches all the power out of the Moonhart. The jeweler promptly yells at the Moonhart Circle for not doing anything to stop this travesty, and being generally worthless gits who keep the Serens ignorant, and promises to go get his stuff back. Cue a large number of Serens going rogue and leaving the forest, but not before killing a bunch of novices, which causes them to get permabanned from Seren. They set up camp and start trying to raid Magnagora, but before they get to do anything the jeweler gets offed by a number of pyromancers, leaving his numerous kids to carry on the fight. And that's just the beginning.

Unfortunately, everything they do goes horribly wrong.

Grandfather Elostian has one to offer:

Reminds me a little of Dr Strangelove...

Awww, I missed IN? I feel bad, now.

Aramel's is way too easy.

Vestera has been sealed in a seal for ages, and finally manages to break free by dreamweaving into his captor's mind. He goes on a roaring rampage of revenge, and has to get a powerstone, a herb bag, and a Marauder's Mask in order to get his powers back. The first two are easy, but for the last one he has to travel to Nil and play a boasting game against a demon. He wins by sheer verbal badassery, only to be informed by Luciphage that the latter is retiring and leaving Nil to him. Cue a load of drama. At the end, Vestera feels all burnt out and is comforted by Urlach, who is female and rather pretty.

All our Hallifaxian aether-bombardier wants to do is live, but everyone seems set on killing him. His superiors keep raising the number of mandatory aetherhunts and his empath is oblivious to incoming gorgogs. His friends are a Corporal in the Department of Resource Management, who is obsessed with acquiring more commodities for the 'Collective' (of which everyone has a share), and the Company's Doctor who cares only for his own well-being. Eventually our protagonist comes to learn that the only way he can get out of flying more missions is to prove that he suffers from astral insanity. To submit a proof however, he must obviously be sane. Admitted to the hospital for a condition that is almost, but not quite slickness, he manages to find a brief respite and later spends the rest of his time hiding from a bereaved Gaudiguchian prostitute.

Once there was a young Seren who was learning druidry from an old retired Druid. However, it was too boring for his taste, and he quit Seren to join the Aquamancers. However, while still in the collegium he tries to do a spot of necromancy to impress his friends. It doesn't work. The alarmed Aquamancer GA comes rushing to help, but gets eaten by a tentacle or some other fragment of the soulless that was attracted by the failed spell.

So now there's a soulless running around and our hero has to chase it all over the place. Eventually he pins it down on Water and finds out that it was himself all along. He gets wiser.

Fairly obvious I think. It's one of my favourite books.
