[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 463975, member: 552"] Rokugan, be ready... I warn you... In Chronological order, I describe the events that have recently come to light. Your reactions to these events will be interesting, I hope... Does everyone remember a certain surge of "water elemental energy" that was brought up much earlier in the thread? It faded away for a while, and since then some things have changed... but it has come back. It's quite a bit stronger now, and there is something odd about it. The location is now much more obvious, and anyone with a little preparation could try and see the development in person. A few mages did attempt to see this particular location, and they all disappeared. A few vague reports hint that more than one naval fleet (apparently Mantis and Crab vessels) have been combing the area for survivors. Apparently some vessels belonging to each fleet disappeared. Meanwhile, the heavy dedication of Shugenja has managed to finally pierce the shielding on the invaders into the Lion Territory. It took them long enough, but finally they have succeeded. The result doesn't sound true at first, but the dedication of shugenja assure that it is... The Fox clan has apparently launched a small skirmish group against the lion territories, well disguised to appear as citizens of the burning sands. Their victory was swift, and their retreat swifter. Apparently they had no intention of killing anyone, or of keeping any land, but they did bring their troops into the Lion Clan's territory and then leave. Meanwhile, a blight of taint has apparently seeped into the crab, crane, lion, and dragon clans through a food source. Apparently corrupt vegetation has allowed the Shadowlands to poison the tea grown in the northern crab lands, and it has gradually seeped out into the hands of the citizens. This horrible blight has caused almost every village, town, and city under control by these clans to increase in taint score by 1 full point. It doesn't bode well... But in good news, the luck of many researchers has revealed a simple non-magical cure for taint. It isn't a prevention method, or a permanent restoration, but it does manage to remove the mental affects that taint can have. This elixir is apparently very expensive. Currently the rarity of the substances required in order to make enough is a major problem. It requires a certain type of vegetation that grows in the small areas of completely taintless land inside the shadowlands. The plant apparently contains a high concentration of broken down (non-poisonous) jade, and it's quite expensive. There is enough to treat the children of the emperor, and that will be done as long as the clans housing those individuals allow it. More of it could be bought from the shadowlands... if both parties agree. More of it could be taken from the shadowlands, if someone could manage to do that. But there is more bad news... apparently some foreign power (who has not yet been named) has launched a naval fleet at the South Western shore of the continent against the smaller coastal regions there. Apparently they use Name Magic, and apparantly they want to extend their empire onto the continent. I think that's the whole of the update... [/QUOTE]
