A call to arms.

Greetings, Aetolia.
Today i come before you to report events of grand importance. I ask that
any and all who take intrest in themselves and the world around them
read this post carefuly so you are prepared.
This month, an Astrologer by the name of Elenina approached me. She
asked about the Star of Truth and it's origins. I unfolded the story of
Lord Lanos and the Shadowbeasts, which i encourage that you all read up
on in the scroll of events, numbered three.
When i reached the ending of the tale, describing the 'Star' and it's
function as a sealer of the Rift beetwin our world and the Shadowplane,
she grew worried. She informed me that a constellation by the name of
Eurimines is heading to collide with the Star of Truth. Eurimines is a
constellation shaped like a turtle. The brightest star within it is
located as the Eye. It is enroute to collide with the Star of Truth, if
Elenina's calculations are correct, which she is rather sure of.
Our distress was high, and we disscussed it and reached the conclusion
that it would be best to approach some of the more known scholars of the
land for more information. We travelled together to Epicurus, and spoke
with him on the matter. Epicurus was unable to answer some of our
questions, but from him we learned that the worry is indeed great, and
that if the stars collide, then other then the explosion which Elenina
predicts, which will be of unkown proportions, the Rift which was once
closed by Lord Lanos' efforts will be opened yet again, and we will be
forced to deal with the deziens of the Shadowplane.
From there, Me and Elenina travelled to speak with Oorangu the Wise, the
known Grook sage of Ulangi, followed by several people. As we spoke with
him, and brought the information to his attention, he went into a trance
like state. Upon emerging from it, he informed us that he has 'Looked
within' and that the threat is indeed dire. However, he also informed us
that all hope is not lost. There remains a chance that we will be able
to weather this upcoming storm, but Oorangu himself proclaimed that the
only way by which this will be acomplished is for us all to work
together, putting aside our diffrences for a common intrest.
We were informed that the said explosion shifting the 'Star' from it's
location will happen no later then Midsummer, therefor leaving us with,
at most, two months to prepare. Oorangu and Epicurus both stressed the
importance of keeping our guard up.
An important thing to note is that we do not yet know exactly what it is
that we will be forced to face, nor if Lord Lanos will return to our
realms in the process. The Shadowbeasts we encountered last time could
very well be just minor entities of the Plane
All that remains now, seemingly, is to prepare ourselves with full
might. May the Gods be with us.
