Legends, questions, familiars, folklore From: tmikkola@galactus.cs.hut.fi (Topi Mikkola) Date: Sun, 15 Nov 1992 16:58:43 +0000 Hello everybody, I finally got Aiko's archives and decided to send in some more familiars and rumours. Most of this is collected from various sources so there may be some mistakes. Well, before I've bored all of you I'll make one question: What are the effects of spell Summon Hellblast? I could buy it for 2500 cr and I'd like to know whether it is worth buying or not!

In the island of Burnstill there is a fire which has been burning forever 2."There came a time when the Holy One was casting about for a new avenue through which to express His immense power. And an Elf of Gwyth-Darion was attempting a contact with another plane and Gorgoroth saw this and ripped the planes asunder and came into this land. And he who had called the Beast forth was quickly consumed and the minions of Gorgoroth enetered the land to roam and destroy. Many elves were slain on that day and the city of Gwyth-Darion was cast down in ruin. And the creatures of Darkness spread through Avara. Gorgoroth looked about the new land and sent His spies for information. He discovered much of importance and determined to have the power of a god here. He travelled to Arnagard and slew the Lion God and took his power for his own. He used this power to create his own race -the orcs. There came a day when the chief servant of the Dark One, to whom He had given much power, betrayed Him. The servant had used the power given to him to create his own race, the Spiderfolk, for the purposes of challenging the might of Gorgoroth. The Dark One cast this foolish pretender down and showed his mastery over the Spiderfolk by siring a son by their Queen and this son is the great Stallech, fearful to behold and ever loyal by ties of blood and power to Him. Well, that is all by now. Ihope that others would start posting folklore too. They are much fun to read. -- ==========Topi Mikkola========== ==================Helsinki University of Technology================== ==== Those who seek death in a battle are often killed==== Up
