Editorial: Mage Revealed
The Lady Tatanka seemed a little unnerved as she hastily joined the group assembled outside the Sanctum.
"M'Lord, I have discovered the identity of Mage...may I share it?"
Monty sighed. "Yes, Love. This was expected and t'was but a matter of time before his true identity would be known. Please, continue."
"Aye, Monty. Well, upon perusal of the Library's historical texts I found in the child's tale of Sara the story of the gold dragon she rode in combat and how he became her confidant.
"I read further in the near new but incomplete anonymously written text of how she approached this same dragon after the Wars and returned him to assist YOU, Monty, in the development of our new Nation.
"Still uncertain, I read the related song "But For the Three" written by Darthon during the Wars which foretold your coming and that of two others...all of you have gone through tremendous hardships to bring us to this place of uncertain safety and relative harmony but the final clue was this:
"The second of the three, found in the second verse, would undergo a transformation both unwelcome and profound, such as a dragon being forced to human form.
"Mage Mayhem is therefore the gold draco Ametrius, the same as in the Babe's Book of Sara."
A hush fell over all in attendance, looks exchanged between each, particularly cast in awe at Lady Tatanka.
Lance's jaw dropped. "How in the world..." she didn't finish her statement out loud, but in her head it went something like this: did i miss that? Then she smiled and put a hand on Lady Tatanka's shoulder. "Well done Lady!"
Monty smiles at Tatanka and says, "Excellent detective work, Dear! I have chosen well my Council in you most certainly!"
This will be a short (shorter?) Gate this week. I'm still on vacation, not ready to write up a new game but its been just two days since the last one!
So ends the mystery of Mage Mayhem...the first anyway! To see the full play of events and a preview of our next contest visit The Nation of Union FF/BBRPG.
For such a short time there have been some great developments, most of which may be attributed to Lady Lance of Rokvor! Great going...Lieutenant! See the articles below for all the details!
So ends the shortest editorial you may ever see! Keep up the disaster relief efforts, visit sponsors, recruit, post a lot and have a grand time!
All eyes turned to the sudden burst which immediately took the form of black robes seemingly filled by the frame of an aged, frail man with only a silken, silverish beard protruding from the hood giving any indication this may be so.
The voice coming from the hood exuded a power and resonance none would ever have thought possible.
"So ye now know me for who I be!" the Mage snickered a bit, bowed before all and continued, "I am Ametrius Anders, at your service, but please continue to call me Mage Mayhem...I have become quite fond of the title!"
"The author of 'Ametrius Awakens' is no longer anonymous then for that would be me. It was a calling I am just beginning to understand, as was the opening of the portals. I shall return to its completion in time but for now the tale remains to be told and unfolds as we speak! What will become of us? Surely even the gods themselves may not know!"
The Mage then laughs heartily, a contagious cacaphony of joy in the face of all adversities, a call to all of the worlds and heavens the spirit cannot be denied its existence...and love of it.
Many of the others join, some uncertain as to why, but that matters little to them...

The New Order of Rokvor
Our dear Lady Lance has created a new Order as per Union Law in her Realm of Rokvor!
The associated BBRPG Forgotten Gates...a perfect addition and easy transition to Union mythos! As she describes it...
"Before you stand four gates. The first, a gate of Stone. Behind it is the land of the Gargolyles and the Dwarves. The second is a gate of Steel and it leads to the land of Humans and Minotaurs. The third is Wood, and it will take you to the land of Elves and Nmyphs. The final gate is one of Bone. Behind it lurks the lands of the Demons and Dragons. Which pathway will you take?"
Still more fantastic developments from our Lady Lance! Great Work, Love! What are we to do but...

"...an Online Multiplayer game that is a RPG. The game original creater was Erling Ellingson but since its a free game he released the source code. The game was made in Visual Basic and features 2d graphics. You create your own player and walk around the game world that is set to a medieval time period. The game has a auto-patcher that downloads the latest version on its own and is updated frequently. Its being redone right now by the new owners."
Sounds great, huh? Anyone who gets there before me there feel free to write a review of it!
