	*Mayor Walkar met many heroes outside of Moot Hall, where he thanked them all for their tireless efforts in defending the town and its people. He expressed his appreciation for all of the blood and sweat spilled, and for every single spell and blade used to protect Wehnimer's Landing. It was said that Falzcrow, the half-krolvin son of Kragnack would be released and would likely be escorted to Icemule, where he desired to go. The mayor also informed everyone that the museum curator Glethad was also freed from his self-requested confinement, now that the Star of Khar'ta was gone and presumably its hold over him as well. The curator was said to be resting at the time and would likely have more to share on the artifact and his experience in the near future. The mayor then apologized to everyone for his questionable behavior lately, and that despite whether people always agreed with him, every action he took was in the town's best interest. He then explained briefly that in the battle against Grishom Stone, he almost died if not for the intervention of the villain Elithain Cross, who kept him alive with the magical crimson breastplate he now wears. Many asked Walkar if the armor would ever make it so he was not in control of his own actions, to which he politely sidestepped answering. It was then Zyndur, the Nalfein elf showed up and had a few curt remarks to make. While the relic had been destroyed, Zyndur reminded those present that it was his krolvinbane weapons that ensured their victory and in essence saved their town. He then told Mayor Walkar that he would call upon him someday for a favor, and if his demand was not met, then he would extract a price, a cost that the mayor had no desire to discuss openly. Zyndur then slipped back into the shadows. Mayor Walkar once more thanked everyone for their efforts and help and all rejoiced as much of the ice around town finally began to melt away.		*Mayor Walkar met many heroes outside of Moot Hall, where he thanked them all for their tireless efforts in defending the town and its people.

			So the Star of Khar'ta storyline has officially concluded! Foremost, I want to thank all of you, the players, for your ongoing roles and participation in my storylines. As much as I repeat this each time, it cannot be more true. You really make it enjoyable and that's why it keeps happening. So thank you again.

			But, it's never a one man show, so I definitely want to give some thanks and credit to the many other GameMaster's involved, in every aspect. For their approvals of the storyline, and their various elements, I have GM Izzea, Auchand, Galene, Valyrka, Aiza and Mestys to thank! For NPC support, a big thanks to GM Valyrka and GM Marstreforn for the roles of the Argent Mirror, Caylio and Juramis! And it would all be for nothing without GM Aulis and his support in doing QC for all of the ships, the props, event messaging, etc. The man is a QC machine. And a huge thanks goes to GM Vanah who expertly coded all of the scripts for Pherantyr's talisman, Krentuk's abilities when using the orb, and of course the scripts for the finale as well! I owe her my soul.

			I hope you all enjoyed yourselves, at least at some points along the way, despite the "oops" at the end with the frustrating crashes. There's still a number of loose ends in the Landing left open on purpose. Was Kragnack equipped with weapons from someone within Wehnimer's Landing? And will be prove to be an enemy in the future? Who really hired Thanden to steal the orb, and put a hit on the merchant Juramis? The Nalfein Zyndur threatened the Mayor, what exactly will his future demands be? Since Walkar's breastplate keeps him alive because of a dark pact made with Elithain Cross, will any dire consequences come from it? By the way, whatever happened to Barnom Slim and is Drangell just going to rot away in his cell forever?

			I promise you, over the next two explosive storylines, all of these questions will be answered.

			It was definitely a blast overall and I'm looking forward to the next storyline to befall Wehnimer's Landing, its working title being "All the Lich King's Men."

			In roughly five weeks, I will be kicking off my next storyline, "The Star of Khar'ta." In theory, it should last 3 months, give or take a week or two, allowing for real life issues, player twists, etc.

			In the meantime, here's a little "teaser".



			Worthless, he thought as he observed the courtyard below.

			The young lord leaned casually on the stone railing of his balcony, rolling his eyes more than once as his guards dragged their prisoner towards the gates. The garden below was flawlessly kept and the cobblestones of the courtyard immaculately clean. He would have had it no other way. But as his sentries hauled the dirty pirate across the lawn, he covered his nose, more out of show than necessity. He was utterly worthless to him now. Just another bad investment.

			He remained there, long after the brigand's taint left his manor. He watched the sun dip over the water, the sky melting from reddish-gold to black. Stars broke through the veil of darkness above, their brightness reflecting on the waves beneath. He counted the ships, each bearing the banner of Brisker's Cove, as they pulled into harbor. He knew his wealth expanded with each one. That alone was enough to make him smile.

			It was then an emerald flash caught his eye.

			He turned to face the stars and glimpsed a speck of blue-green light, twinkling against the blanket of night. His smile grew, almost stretching from ear to ear as the light above blinked away.



			The young elf knelt carefully in the rooftop garden, pinching soil between two of his fingers. The graceful buildings of Ta'Nalfein rose up to the west of him, while the ocean's waters stretched to the east, their surface shimmering beneath the moonlight. He brushed his hands free of dirt before unclasping his onyx rose cloak pin, dropping the shroud to his feet. He moved to the edge of the roof where he perched, his eyes watching the silhouette of the navy's ships as they weaved through the waters.

			His keen hearing picked up the sounds of dockworkers shouting as they unloaded their wares, unaffected by the arrival of night. He craned slightly, looking back to the city behind him. Hanging from rooftops, or burning in windows, hundreds of lanterns glowed throughout the area, making the city look like dark stone castles covered in fireflies. He sighed then, staring down at one of his rings. He lightly traced the ring's signet, a faded aquamarine wavecrest.

			It was then an emerald flash caught his eye.

			He looked up just in time to see a speck of green-blue light in the sky. The outline of a veniom-plated airship passed overhead, blocking the light from his view as it traveled out over the city. Once the airship had gone, the green-blue light had disappeared. Frantically, the elf rushed over to the rooftop ladder and climbed down, leaving his cloak and clasp behind.



			Chains drag through white sands as rows of humans stagger forward.

			The slaves shamble along, their frail bodies covered in heavy wrappings as they press on against the icy cold wind. The rocky cliffs of Glaoveln climb to their west, and krolvin warships approach the arctic beach. The line of prisoners continues along the shore, finally reaching a gangplank leading up to a massive black galleon.

			Watchtowers dot the landscape of the frozen cliffs and krolvin soldiers laugh to each other, their gruff voices muffled slightly by the wind. They mock the slaves being boarded onto the ship below.

			Taking a respite from the scorn, one krolvin sentry climbs to the roof of the watchtower, exhaling as the arctic breeze runs like icy fingers through his thick bone white hair. His eyes turn to the dark sky above, their blackness squinting as the wind dashes across his face. He opens his eyes just in time to see a peculiar light appear high above.

			The krolvin soldier then barks loudly, alerting all who could hear.

			Upon the deck of the black galleon, a large krolvin captain stands, an azure cape flapping out behind him. He hears the sentry's bark faintly on the wind and sees him point to the sky. The krolvin captain tilts his head up, scanning the backdrop of night.

			It was then an emerald flash caught his eye.
