Red Star Burning
As the Red Star grew ever closer to the Basin of Life, its influence was felt by all under its crimson glow. Some inhabitants of the Basin were more easily swayed by its lure and promises than others, taking up the moniker of ‘the Army of Love’ and touting the return of the Lovers and…
Read MoreSecrets of the Red Star Revealed
As the Red Star travelled closer and closer to Lusternia, its baleful crimson glow growing larger and larger, Archangels of Celestia and Archdemons of Nil began appearing on the roads in the Basin of Life, gazing up at its fiery light.

Read MoreOn Jason Wilkinson
Hearing about Jason’s death has been a bit of a shock to me. I haven’t spoken to him in any fashion for a few years, ever since coming up to the Havens as an Ephemeral. When we did interact, he was one of my favorite folks. He was a good guy – impulsive, like so…
Read MoreUnveiling the Pyresmith
Barely had the first reverse-rainstorm surged into the skies when intense headaches were visited upon numerous mortals across the Basin. Though initially dismissed as a side effect of the new weather patterns, this line of thinking was quickly dispelled as soon as a mysterious voice, speaking the ritual tongue of the Elders, addressed them in…
Read MorePlaxios and the Cloud Stalker
With the weather wildly out of order, citizens of the Serenwilde and Glomdoring communes turned to the four members of the Anas’im’aeklas for answers. Unfortunately for them, the leader of the organisation, Thalafir Oakvine, forbade his subordinates from accepting aid from the outside. Though some disagreed vocally with the assessment of the situation, all obeyed…

Read MoreA Gathering Storm
Over the past year, four odd wanderers have made their way to the forests of Lusternia. First came the aloof loboshigaru, Diakala, to the Serenwilde, arriving suddenly and causing some small bit of consternation, who was followed soon after by a druid calling himself Tinjtak Gladheart raising a ruckus in Estelbar. Barely a quarter of…
Read More8 Godly Tips on Running Events
Secret: I hate running events. Well, let me put it this way. I stress out ridiculously when I’m in charge of a release event of any sort. There’s a lot I love about being an admin, but freaking out for hours over tiny lines of script that constantly defy me? That, to me, is less…

Read MoreComings and Partings
My mentor Shikari once told me that life in the Havens revolves around three events: the arrival of new ephemerals, the transformation of an ephemeral into an Elder God, and the resignation of an admin. The first event is exciting; imagine that your small organisation only received novices once or twice a year. How thrilled…

Read MoreNear Misses: Becoming Mysrai
I came this close to not being Mysrai. As the clock ticked down to the finishing of my area and I kept finding small details to wrap up for the release, I was all set to go to Hallifax. That’s right: I’m the reason you don’t have Jadice right now. I’ll wait for a bit…

Read MoreRed Star Rising!
The ominous red star that astrologers have been warning about has suddenly winked into view, raining a shower of fiery crimson motes.

Read MoreTo meet, and part, and meet again!
Meets are undoubtedly one of the high points in any situation involving long distances between folks who share the same hobbies. The internet is great, but sometimes you have to gossip about the latest in Hallifaxian drama in person… So we met! Zvoltz and I set out for Akron, and met Alary, Scax, and…
Read MoreHoom-ings: An IronCon Confession
This post is about recovery [1]. I haven’t really done much in Lusternia in two-ish years, maybe even longer. It isn’t like I haven’t done anything; I have done some things – mainly small stuff. But in comparison to the other volunteer administrators, and probably in relation to the work I am expected to…

Read MorePatronly Duties
Whether it is replacing lost keys or creating new additions to cities and communes, Patrons and the Divine Pantheons of our organizations have a wide variety of “jobs” that they do. However, the scope of patronly duties isn’t found in the instruction manual for new gods. I think of myself as a generally active administrator…
