[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 4217252, member: 21064"] [i]OOC: I believe a physical description of the shards was given, and that it would have overwhelming abjuration auras.[/i] Rinya, suddenly recalling the council, relates what she knows about the shard. Vagrant shakes his head. [color=silver]"No, definitely haven't heard or felt anything like that. The druids have been here longer than we have, though not two thousand years.
