Wrought to destroy the Moaning's agents. A power to snuff all power. A might to conquer all might. Light as a Weapon. Light as a Protector. Light to be adored. Light to be feared. Power from the Lights within the Dark. Power greater than anythign there is to come. Power over Darkness. Power is mine. Calendar: The Year has 369 days. It has 72 weeks of 5 days each. It has 9 extra days usually reserved to great activities involving the whole of the community. Most people only mark their birthdays by the part of the "day" (e.g. Early Morning) they were born, some remember the week (e.g. the 2nd week of Late Day) and a very few remember the day of the week (e.g. the second day of the first week of Late Night). Anyways, villages usually organize a single celebration for all people born in a given part of the "day", so their are 8 official birthday celebrations per year and no more. I would very much like to know the birthday of each character in the story. ** Daybreak - 1st Day of the Year - Time of renewal ** Spring Morning >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 1st week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 2nd week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 3rd week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 4th week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 5th week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 6th week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 7th week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 8th week >> Spring Morning (Early Morning) - 9th week ** Fast Break - 47th day of the Year - Day of fasting, night of feasting >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 1st week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 2nd week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 3rd week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 4th week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 5th week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 6th week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 7th week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 8th week >> Spring Morning (Late Morning) - 9th week ** Day of Arrival - 93rd day of the Year - Celebration of the coming of the Eclypse Gate, praise to God >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 1st week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 2nd week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 3rd week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 4th week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 5th week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 6th week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 7th week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 8th week >> Summer Day (Early Day) - 9th week ** Zenith - 139th day of the Year - Longest day of the Year - Day of long labor, night of celebration >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 1st week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 2nd week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 3rd week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 4th week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 5th week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 6th week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 7th week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 8th week >> Summer Day (Late Day) - 9th week ** First Harvest - 185th day of the Year - Grains are harvested - A celebration with fruit pies and breads is held at most villages.

After the Second Whitelight, it was an easy task to get in touch with Fargus - the roads weren't blocked anymore and reaching Pantros required a very short trip (some hours on boat, half a day on horse). It is likely that some of the adventurers from the Guild went to the village and invited the Wizard to come to Bastillar and he accepted in earnest. Fargus had been studying the Whitelight for some time and was very pleased to lear it was a magical item in possession of people trusted by his old fellow Rotugom. Fargus is an obese man on his late fifties. He wears white robes and sandals most of the time. Fargus has an ugly burned mark over a patch on the right side of his face and only sees with one eye. A red garnet gem has replaced the left eye and at times it blazes with internal golden sparks. Fargus seems to be easy going and friendly. He spent ten years working for the Mind Fire and retired a couple of years ago. He was forbidden to practice magic and had to destroy his grimoire, his annotations and sell his research material. He worked from Molaram, a village to the north of Razulan where he still has a small cache of hidden items and anotations. Fargus would greatly appreciate returning to activity, he loans some books from Rotugom and is set to research some of his spells again. Fargus tells the members of the Nightwolf Pack that if they could retrieve his material on the small tower on an island on the Gurgar River he would greatly appreciate it. He had a couple of projects he hopes would be of interest to any adventurer. Rotugom is initially quite upset with finding out Fargus worked for the enemy, and more so when the Augur comes to Bastillar without his grimoire. Rotugom ends up forgiving Fargus after all and they soon start working together. Rotugom has three main projects with Fargus: making projects to open a Tower of Arcane learning in Bastillar so there would be mages coming to the city to learn; studying the wheel and ways to protect it from scrying (Fargus would have been of great aid on this if he had his spells, still his arcane knowledge on the ways of divination is deep and vast); and, finally, to find Nurion, the Necromancer, the man that studied with them on the Oathboudn Arcane Academy southeast of Chaun and that didn't seem to be present at Benzon as expected. Strangely, as time passes, Rotugom seems more and more concerned with the wereabouts of Nurion. That will be all for tonight folks. I'm still missing the jobs the guild asks of you during the year (I missed that for year 1000 till the end... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> ). Hope to have that up tomorrow - perhaps with the available magical items for this year. On magical items, keep in mind that it will be only limited modifications on what was available the previous year.</blockquote>
