| Subject | [dq-announce] Dark Circle and Seagate Briefing |
|---|---|
| From | Stephen Martin |

Following are two articles for the seagate times, GMs please read these. These are intended to represent the discussions held at last Sundays gods meeting and wrt the Dark Circle, further discussions with Michael Young. If there are any disputes or corrections please let me know before tomorrow afternoon. Anyone GMing in the Carzalan/Brastor area this session who has questions about exactly how this applies to their game and the truth under the publicity, please feel free to contact me directly. Cheers, Stephen. **************************************************************************** ***************** The Dark Circle has receeded! "The tide is turning in the battle against the Dark Circle, the purity and holiness of our brave knights has driven the evil forces back!" said one church representative. Wishing to verify this great news himself out brave reported dug deeper and has managed to independently discover the following... - The size of the Dark Circle is not stable, while its leading edge has been forced back the battle is not one-sided. The leading edge seems to be varying between 40 miles out from Seagate and 90 miles. The size varies seemingly randomly and the "Grey Zone" is considered dangerous by both sides. The forces of light generally dominate it during the day and Rashaks' minions dominate it at night. - So far the United Church, the Dwarves, Elven representatives, several guild members, and one anonymous demon have claimed responsibility for pushing back the Dark Circle. None of them has been willingly to explain exactly how they did it though. - Most of Rashaks crack troops appear to have withdrawn from the Carzalan front, it is not known whether they are consolidating for a renewed push or are being used elsewhere. As many of you will have noticed, our south-eastern border has a new defensive line. Many elemental mages (including notable guild members) have been working on a new fortification. It lies beyond Arns Ferry and Slippery rock and stretches from the foothills of the Fastness of Gwyddion (sp?) at its south-west end to the edge of the forest at its north-east end. The wall of fire-hardened earth and stone is 30 feet tall (60 feet wide at its base), the water logged ditch on the far side is equally deep. The few gaps in the wall for access to Brastor are very heavily fortified. The Duke is delighted to announce that many of the skilled workers from Brastor have now been gainfully employed. Much of the land to the north-east of seagate which was previously un-cultivated has now been intensively planted and new villages are springing up. Also in a daring move the Duke has sent brave farmers back into Brastor with a military escort. They report to have planted a number of fields, and all going well they will make another foray to harvest the crops in a few months time. One of the more immediate benefits of the Dukes work is that Seagate is getting back to normal, the number of refugees living on the streets is being significantly reduced as they are relocated into farms and outlying villages. **************************************************************************** ******** Tax Rates Reduced! In recognition and appreciation of the work the guild and its members have done in combating the Dark Circle, the Duke has announced that the guild tax rate is restored 10%. The Duke is sure that with the guilds continued assistance the Dark Circle will soon be vanquished. **************************************************************************** ********** -- to unsubscribe see http://www.kurahaupo.gen.nz/mailing-lists.html -- | |
