"Come to my home immediately, the Prime has become lost to us.  I need your counsel, old friend."The urgency of his voice shows something that has never surfaced itself in all the time you've known him.  You have been through countless battles against fiends of all sorts and Khaldru was steadfast in both loyalty and bravery.  This time, however, fear had crept into the paladin's voice.****************************************Iuris awakens from his meditation with a start.  Strange images were a part of his trance, things he could not seem to understand.  His first thought is that it is his old enemy trying to get into his mind again.  Always that one was attempting to take control of Iuris and bring harm to his brethren.  Xexir** had never succeeded before and there is no reason the demon would succeed now.  Iuris was, after all, under the protection of the great and just god Equitas, and no mere demon would accomplish much without being exorcised and destroyed.Still, the push of the mental power was somehow stronger.  It was as if some of the barrier had been removed from Iuris' mind and allowed the demon in a little further.  The demon obviously sensed it as well.  He sensed that he was finally breaking through and pushed all the harder, hoping to overwhelm Iuris with his mental barrage.  Iuris realized the impatience that is so often predictable of evil creatures and stayed focused, driving the demon out.  When the demon was almost gone, it was then that the images came.Shadows and evil creatures surrounded him, the very earth about him charred and desolate.  The place did not look familiar to him and it did not bring forth any memories of places he'd ever visited.  He would have to figure this one out himself...or did he?  The Pure Eye would help him.  She always did and she always knew what his visions meant.  That is what he would do...unless something better presented itself along the way.******************************************In the great hall of Naristan, the alarms sounded and a chaos ensued.  Angels and petitioners alike ran or flew about to get to predetermined stations that had been practiced and redesigned over the centuries.  Alarms usually meant that a great secret had been discovered on the Prime or some mortal had acquired an epiphane from the All-Knowing, which was a reason to celebrate.  Xer'Tai was in his usual place, in the Libre Mentalis, a place where the psionically gifted could meditate and study themselves while honing their special gifts.  He was rarely involved in these celebrations and was excused from them by the other celestials.  This was a gift from Naristan himself, and it was said that each individual that had such a gift carried a piece of the deity's being with them.  They were held as unique in the church of mortal and celestial alike.Blaine Farseeker, a wizard of some power, if not equal mischieviousness, was caught in the House of Magic when the alarms went off.  The reaction of everyone around him was quite excited as they made towards their appointed stations in the great library that made up Naristan's fortress. The wizard had learned countless secrets here in the tomes that the Seer had gathered from both mortal and immortal sources.  Every book on every shelf was in immaculate condition and did not suffer the ravages of time.  It was a loreman's paradise.During the ensuing chaos of the celestials running about a cloud came over their usual excited demeanor.  Talk of something terrible on the Prime seemed to permeate through the entire structure.  A strange feeling comes over both the wizard and the monk.[ooc: more to follow]*Khaldru - a paladin of Ianua (pronounced ee-AHN-WHA) and a captain in the goddess' army (pronounced CALL-droo)**Xexir - a demon that plagues the thoughts of Iuris on several occassions. He serves a balor called Kullot (Xexir is pronounced ZECK-sir, Kullot is pronounced KOOL-oht)</blockquote>
