Strange Bedfellows

By: EM Drosselmeyer “You don’t actually think this is going to work, do you?” Anon scoffed at King Blackthorn’s suggestion. “Well if you don’t think you have the ability to do it, I guess you can continue to be known as the second best mage of the realm…” Anon slammed a hand down on the table, causing Dupre to give him a glare from his seat. “I still am afraid I don’t understand…why are we not simply destroying the source of these?” “Because we cannot without condemning untold numbers of lives. Anon and I have come to the conclusion that […]

Publish 85 to Origin and Izumo Today

We are putting Publish 85 on Origin and Izumo today.  The shards will be going down at approximately 2 pm EDT. One point I would like to make clear is regarding the Vet reward – The Light house Once the lighthouse is deeded it will unlink from any boat and owner it is linked to.  When you replace the lighthouse you will have to relink it to keep any ships from decaying.  It will NOT automatically relink once the light house is replaced. Thank you and Enjoy! UO Team

The Knight and the Enchantress

By: EM Drosselmeyer His blade clashed against that of the renegade swordsman, each strike forcing him back pace after pace, never ceasing in his advance. As the swordsman caught one of Sir Dupre’s strikes on his shield, Sir Dupre lashed out with his own shield and struck him hard in the face, feeling the mans nose break before the impact. Helmets are worn for a reason, novice… he thought to himself as he disengaged his blade, stamped on the man’s foot, and ran him through. With a sudden jerking back of his sword he let him fall, staining the dusty […]

The Mad, Mongbat-Minded Mage

Written by EM Drosselmeyer The city had been a nicer place once. It had been busier, filled with bustling life and mages learning and earning their keep amidst masters and grandmasters. But that was many years ago, he reminded himself…and despite the ferocity of those remaining in these lands, so many had already moved on to calmer waters. He’d been warned against going at all by his Royal Guard, with them finally relenting when he agreed to take two with him as protection, but he told them as simply as he understood it himself; If he found who he was […]

Minax’s Plan

Author:  EM Drosselmeyer      The crystal crackled and sputtered in her hands as she poured her considerable magic into it, causing the ground around her to tremble with the power…but soon enough it calmed, and nothing had happened. She had assumed as much might happen…a focal point was needed, and the crystal alone couldn’t do it. It needed something stronger, something more powerful…and that was when she thought of the perfect spot. And the best part was, almost nobody was ever there. With a wicked smile adorning her face, she gestured over to Shanty. “Attend me, Shanty; I may have […]
