[Cel] Year 1438 begins - events for 1438

Hi

This email starts the next year: 1438. Action submission DL
is 2 weeks from now (Nov 9th), and the next year begins 4 weeks
from now (Nov 23th).

Events for 1438
---------------

Eerith (+3): almost all countries of note around Midsea now have
an Eerith advisor. It has become a sort of a fashion, even major
(and some minor) nobles now seek Eerith to their court. However,
how the Eerith's are utilized varies very much. Some - who
have just hit the fashion - tend to keep them around as a kind of
ornamentation. Several try to utilize their magical abilities.
Precious view actually keep them close and listen to their advice.

Laria'rathi (+4) (Celpalar: -3): Several of the Celpalar colonies
on the Golaren island are abandoned: the harvest has been bad,
and sicknesses have killed many people. Silently, Laria'rathi
scouts move in and take over the colonies. Actually, the accidents
are caused by secret Laria'rathi operations.


Visions, part II:
-----------------

"Hastur, I call you! Hastur, hear my call!"

"Cherog Ti Yngram, I hear you. Why should I hear you?"

"Hastur, Hastur, hear me out! The Ladies, the Ladies are on the move!"

"Why should this be of any concern to me, Cherog Ti Yngram."

"Because, oh noble one, oh shining one, they have a new purpose!
Their course has changed! I, Cherog Ti Yngram of the Host of Pity,
have seen/smelled/tasted this! It is! It will be!"

"And how come you have such knowledge of things that are? You, Cherog Ti
Yngram of the Host of Pity, do not have the Breath of The Ever-seeking
Mouth on you. What do you know of such things? I, Hastur, will not
be diverted by idle talk."

"Oh, hear me out, oh shining master! I pledge! I swear! I have seen
/smelled/tasted this, truely! I have been to their House - a small,
pityful thing that I am, nobody cares about Cherog, nobody notices
small Ti in the Pattern. But I see/smell/taste! I do!"

"Very well, Cherog Ti Yngram, pityful thing that you are. Tell
me what you have seen/smelled/tasted in the House of the Ladies,
and I will grant you a boon."

"Hastur, Hastur, it is a great thing! And so shall be the boon
you bestow on me!! I, Cherog Ti Yngram, will tell you!"

"Don't presume falsely, Cherog Ti Yngram! If it is as you say,
the boon will be great! But if you have aroused me falsely,
so will my anger be. Now, tell me."

"Oh, my shining master, forgive! It is a great thing. Yes!
In the House of the Ladies, I spied a great ball of Onyx.
It had shining holes in it, and it was spinning fast. The Ladies
spent much time with it."

"So they were seeking something. This is hardly a news.
The Ladies have always been seeking things. Is this all?!?"

"Oh, no, oh noble master! Inside the ball, they had a smaller
ball, full of dust - and this I swear: it was dust from the
Hardplace! And they had servants from there, too, and
they were not too happy with them."

"You are still wasting my time, Cherog."

"Oh, master, wait, there's more! This is what I heard
from the very lips of the Ladies: they are looking for
the Omog!"

"... Very well, Cherog Ti Yngram. You have earned your boon.
Now, go back, and then come back to tell me more."

[Cel] Year 1438 (eerith notes)

(sigh) I still have to figure out how JTH wants to deal with last year in
Mir.  Any way:

No problems there.  The Eerith only act about every ten years now (GM/NPS as
well) and the advisors only speak when spoken to.  Thus far, no one has ever
asked them anything as advisors.  What matters is that they are invited
in...(ominous enough?)


> "Hastur, I call you! Hastur, hear my call!"

AHHHHH!!!! The King in Yellow!!!!  We're DOOOOOMED!!!!!

Well, he's not going to just quit, that's for sure. Probably Jason
would throw in some mystical artifact which... and then I would have
to counter that with some hidden flaw, which would launch Jason into
an epic quest into the Dreaming, and...

[Cel] Year 1438 (eerith notes)

It all sounds very Lovecraftian and if we are now heading into the Cthullu mythos please warn me, and I'll start a new building program so the palace all consists of round rooms. LOL!
