Shadows of the Tower
--------------------
The old mage sighed as his strained eyes scanned
the reports in the dim flickering light provided by a single lonely
candle.  He idly fingered the feathered end of a quill pen as his
expression grew more and more serious.  There would be no avoiding the
problem any longer.  Setting down the papers he massaged a creased and
wrinkled forehead with ink stained fingers, furrowing his brow as he
strained for a solution, not for the first time.  A small rat scampered up
onto the table, sensing his master's emotions, and produced a small deck
of cards and began a comical trick.

"Not now my friend," he sighed.  The cards
vanished as quickly as they had appeared and the rodent studied the paper
as if it could read what was written.  Although that was one skill the
familiar had never learned, it managed a worried expression with an
equally worried glance for it's master

The wizard stood from his desk and paced over to
a window, and closed the shutters against the cold northernly wind.  All
could wait until morning.  Nothing could stop the dawning of the day, not
even something so grave as what lay before him, nay all the Tower, in
these dark times.

Across the land light slowly seeped in over the
mountains and oceans, bringing with it a new day.  It was the dawn of a
new era, one in which the days of legend were long past, and the world had
become focused on the expanding trade, the politics of countries, and
rural life.  It was an era of change, an era in which reality seemed to be
growing out of hero's, dragons, and wizards, forcing them into the nooks
and crannies of the world as if to say "These were the playing of our
youth, such nonsense has no place here now."  But such powerful creatures
as dragons and wizards are not discarded lightly, and with time, all
things may change.

I am looking a few more players for my campaign "The Shadow of the Tower", see my website at www.5596.org/towershadow/ for more information.  I plan on starting each character out on an individual basis through e-mail, then slowly merging the seperate plot lines.
