Subject: New High Level Hunting Ground on Teras Isle.
The ruined temple of Nelemar was released this weekend, housing a host of ten new creatures, spanning in level from 92 to 105. Sirens, water elementals, and various tritons creep the halls of the once guardian temple of the Fier'Dracus. Two of the creatures, the spectral triton defenders and ethereal triton sentries, are undead.
The way to the temple can be found down the incline on the south end of the Fhorian Village outside of Kharam-Dzu. A significant number of Swimming ranks is highly recommended to maneuver to and around the area. The creatures themselves have many new unique and varied abilities, so caution is advised.
The efforts of many GameMasters went into the preparation and release of the area, and I would like to thank them all. First off, Warden for the concept and review of the creatures. Secondly, Hadlir and Aiza for the creation of the area itself, as well as Strathspey for the coding behind the sirens and water elementals. I'd also like to thank Gyres, Voraviel, Liia, and Varulv for their parts in the release event. Finally, Croe for her announcements keeping everyone informed of the event.
-M.

Subject: Search for the Fier'Dracus Leads to Sunken Temple
Erakaya and Sarise, two scholars working to discern the fate the Fier'Dracus from its guardians, have traced the shards of the gem to a temple submerged off the shores of the Fhorian Village.
The two startled scholars, in the company of Mavalgnus and others, drew the notice of Nelemar, greatest of all known water elementals, with their summoning ritual.
Rising from a whirlpool, Nelemar deigned to speak to those assembled upon the beach, telling them the tale of the temple which once harbored the Fier'Dracus.
Nelemar says that the gem has been found, only to be lost again, throughout history. In days past there was a band of people, dedicated to Nelemar who built him a great temple near the sea on Teras Island. These people kept the Fier'Dracus, in their place of worship, guarding it from the fire elementals.
Drawn by its latent power, the elementals searched for the gem, discovering its place of concealment. Fiercely angry, the fire elementals overwhelmed the temple's inhabitants, consuming all they could in a massive inferno.
Nelemar took his now ravaged house of worship and sunk it beneath the seas where it became a favorite haunt of lesser water elementals. Nelemar indicated that he had no objection to Terasian land dwellers exploring his temple, but cautioned that the environment, and the lesser elementals dwelling within, might prove less than hospitable.
Adventurers of even the greatest skill are cautioned to proceed with care.

Subject: Fire Elemental Hints at the Fier'Dracus' Fate
An unconfirmed report states the scholar Mavalgnus and his band of researchers recently summoned a massive, blazing fire elemental, seeking information on the fate of the remaining pieces of the Fier'Dracus.
The elemental, under threat of eternal confinement, whispered to Mavalgnus and his band, that the Flame that Never Dies had been reclaimed by the elemental beings and fiery vengeance taken upon those who had held it, burning their halls.
Encouraged by this new information the scholars have returned to their tomes, seeking the location of the conflagration.

For those of you who may have missed it because there was not a Forum Announcement:
Researchers in the libraries of Tamzyr have found a link between the Fier'Dracus and a temple believed to have stood on Teras Island.
The Fier'Dracus, a gem of mysterious origin and ability, was supposedly destroyed. According to legend, loresingers handling shards of the gem have heard a voice declare, "I am the Fier'dracus, The Flame That Never Dies. Shattered I am for now, child of flesh, but dread the day when I am whole again, for you will burn for what you know."
Residents of Kharam Dzu have mixed opinions about the search for the Fier'Dracus. Local miners have warned against excavating the side of the already active volcanic slopes. Barkeepers have hailed the new arrivals, noting that research seems to be thirsty work and scholars are good tippers. Local mothers expressed concern that the Fier'Dracus might prove dangerous. They also declared that scholarship and research are not suitable activities for a family oriented community. "There is no telling what kind of questions children might ask once they are exposed to ideas," exclaimed one anxious mother.
