Story HourPost your ongoing tales from your campaigns, and read those from others for inspiration. Lots of other RPG boards post "Story Hours", but this is where it started!
Jeremy: there's a copy of Divertimento (sp?) over on the Yahoo Group archive @ http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Sepulchraves-Wyre/ in the Files area (you need to join the group to gain access to the files). One day I will get around to updating the files there with posts from the past year or so.
Not Divertimento but the more recent one with the thanes and the multiclassed druids and bards. It may not have been a full fledged story hour but it was fantastic reading in any case and I wanted to go back to it. I was wondering if anyone had a copy before the boards ate it.
And... Yay! Update. I love the new bad guys, very impressive, and the length to which the good guys are going to prepare makes them even more so.

hmmm, fantastic doesn't seem to do this SH justice. But I'm tired and it'll have to do for now. I'll come up with a better adjective when I get a chance.
Absolutely incredible. This is a fantastic storyhour Sep!

Amazing, simply amazing. This story hour is my favorite fiction, right now, even beyond published novels.
Dun dun dun!

Hmmm, I must have missed that If anyone else has a copy, I'd be happy to add it to the Yahoo archive. (Is it in a google cache somewhere??).

Not all of Spirac's visitors come seeking game. According to Abyssal lore, a mountain pool near the assumed geographic center of the infinite layer rejuvenates 1d4 x 10 years from a body each time the mortal bathes in the pool. The phenomenon has drawn many mortals to the plane, with most ending up amid scraps of once-fierce prey in the bags of renowned demonic huntsmen. Those who reach the pool, it is said, must sacrifice a portion of their free will to the demon lady Soneillon, who dwells in its unwholesome depths.
has someone at WotC been reading this story hour?

Didn't Sep take the name from some 1E book? I'm sure he gave Soneillon different traits and a different story, but I'm sure the name comes from one of TSR's books.

Soneillon is also from real world demonology. Though not as a female- a seducer of nuns, iirc.
Soneillon (f) "The Youthful Crone"
Area of Concern: Rejuvenation
layer 71: Spirac
mentioned (only) in MM2.
other notes: Not to be confused with the succubus who masquerades as her as detailed in "Lost Empires of Faerun".
This page quotes from the Admirable History (1612) where a possession of a nun named Sr. Madeleine is discussed. Sonneillon is one of the demons, and is described as follows:

So there you have it.

Soneillion appears in the list of demon lords/ladies/princes/queens in the AD&D MM2. That's the only previous reference to her in 1st edition.
Synchronicitously, Sep and my old DM at Penn State and I all made use of Soneillon as a demon queen of succubi, which is quite the coincidence. There's a little discussion of that in the RG thread, IIRC.

I would imagine the conceptual link is more with a "fountain of youth" kind of idea than with the story hour's account of Soneillon's final resting place.
thanks... if i might make a suggestion for your tales of wyre thread.
could you add the hyperlinks for all the various stuff in the first post, including divertimento and the mercian posts? whenever i want to look at something specific sep wrote, i end up rooting around for a half-hour.
