	The saga is always ongoing. Specific storylines do "kick off" at certain times, but there's always developments and roleplaying in between. So by no means will there be a sudden drop off for the next 9 months. I will still be popping in as Walkar, Stephos, Khylon, Deylan and more, as the issues still on the table will have lasting effects. Walkar's going through some dark changes, there's discord amongst many of the merchants, and the Brotherhood of Rooks still remains. So yes, expect still a lot of roleplaying and other developments, since I think the smaller moments are critical in between storylines. It keeps people interested, and it makes the story more real.

			After every storyline, I like to follow up with some basic info about the creatures you all dealt with. Many I used only during invasions, and so only their name and level are listed below. While those who were denizens of Lich's Landing and auto-spawned throughout the storyline, I'll be listing how many generated. Starting with this storyline, I'll also be listing NPC info as well. Extra points if you can spot all of the "shambling" creatures.

			Enjoy!

			I would also like to thank everyone involved in this storyline, especially GM Kenstrom who took a chance on a new GM and gave him what turned out to be a significant role in his story. Initially, Jankus was just a vehicle to earn my merchanting chops, but as it turned out, we were able to give him a little depth and a bigger role in the saga. These past few months have definitely been a trial by fire for me, but I learned so much from Kenstrom and my fellow GMs about what it takes to provide a good RP experience, I can't wait for everyone to see what is in store next.

			I've got a bit of a sentimental attachment to little Jankus, so you might see him around the Landing doing work, trying to make an "honest" coin or two. We'll see how long that lasts, as he's been known to have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to axe hurling!

 The heroes defeated the Lich King Barnom Slim, who warned them against the shadows and named it [[Althedeus]] before he burst apart. Drangell and Jankus helped the heroes defeat the Lich King, in exchange for a pardon from Mayor Walkar and Drangell claimed to no longer lead the Rooks. Before a crowd of townspeople, Walkar fell over in agony, the flesh of his right arm peeling away to bone and never healing since then.
 The storyline, All the Lich King's Men, is officially over! Barnom Slim is dead and his dark undead city is destroyed! The Brotherhood of Rooks still remains, as do their tunnels beneath Wehnimer's Landing. While the Rooks no longer seem to be strong arming local merchants into buying their protection...their existence is still troublesome, as a new power is operating within the shadows of Wehimer's Landing...and Mayor Walkar seems to be losing the battle of wills against the demonic curse of his armor. So while this storyline is over...the saga is not.

	There's only a litle over two weeks left until December, and the beginning of my All the Lich King's Men storyline. I thought it might be helpful for some to briefly describe a few key events that have happened in the town over the last year, which may or may not be of importance going forward.

 He peeled himself from the door, each step filled with more confidence as he strode towards a table. He placed the lantern down and began to unlace his tunic when he saw it. His face went pale, his lips twisting in a grimace of horror. His knees nearly buckled, crippled with terror. There, on the surface of his kitchen table, sat a rusted donation plate. Placed next to the plate was the eyeless carcass of a bird. But not just any bird.
