It seems there was a little confustion over the section listed as&lt;br /&gt;
UPCOMING in this week's code update. It's just that, it's not included in&lt;br /&gt;
the current week's update, but is on the horizon and being actively&lt;br /&gt;
discussed by the immortals. We posted the update list a day early to give&lt;br /&gt;
people a chance to read, digest and bring questions about those changes&lt;br /&gt;
to the Q&amp;amp;A on Thursday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were also some more upcoming changes, those for create mages,&lt;br /&gt;
mentioned during the Q&amp;amp;A last Thursday, that are included in the upcoming&lt;br /&gt;
section in the RECENT UPDATES section for this issue. If you want to know&lt;br /&gt;
more, the log from that Q&amp;amp;A session has been posted to the web. Check it&lt;br /&gt;
out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great week!&lt;br /&gt;

             March Madness Tinyplot - (Un)Lovable Leprechauns&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once upon a time, on St. Patrick's day, a small band of Leprechauns&lt;br /&gt;
decided to join the humans of LegendMUD in their celebration. Their&lt;br /&gt;
leader, a pot-bellied little fellow, took them into the town of Tara to&lt;br /&gt;
celebrate. Tika, the barmaid, could barely keep up with them! They were&lt;br /&gt;
drinking like fish, dancing, and carrying on. The next day, the&lt;br /&gt;
pot-bellied fellow woke up verrrrry hung over. He reached over to his&lt;br /&gt;
desk to retrieve his lucky shamrock to work his magic to cure himself,&lt;br /&gt;
but to his surprise, it was no longer there!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A meeting was held, and the council of Leprechauns decided that during&lt;br /&gt;
the St. Patrick's day celebration, those dirty humans must have stolen&lt;br /&gt;
their shamrocks, as the rest of the Leprechauns were missing theirs as&lt;br /&gt;
well! This was a big problem, for as you know, without their lucky&lt;br /&gt;
shamrocks, leprechauns tend to go a bit...mad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was decided by the great pot-bellied Leprechaun that they would wage a&lt;br /&gt;
war against the town of Tara, biting, taunting, and poisoning the&lt;br /&gt;
residence! They set up a small warcamp based around the Tara well, and&lt;br /&gt;
the sticky-fingered one decided that great walls of fog to hide them from&lt;br /&gt;
the big seasoned and elite warriors would help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With camp set up, they went about figuring out how to retrieve their&lt;br /&gt;
Shamrocks. They tried ordering, they tried taunting, they even tried&lt;br /&gt;
poisoning the well, but all to no avail. Then, the wee Leprechaun and the&lt;br /&gt;
elegant little Leprechaun decided it might be smart to offer some of&lt;br /&gt;
their pots of gold in exchange for the Shamrocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many brave warriors, and even a giant lizard went to work, trying to find&lt;br /&gt;
these Shamrocks that the Leprechauns thought had been stolen (but were&lt;br /&gt;
really just misplaced, hehe, silly Leprechauns). Godzilla, a huge monster&lt;br /&gt;
of a lizard, recovered the first one, returning it to a Leprechaun with&lt;br /&gt;
an angelic smile, in exchange for a HUGE pot of gold. Many other brave&lt;br /&gt;
warriors were still out searching, and Hatred returned with two of the&lt;br /&gt;
missing Shamrocks! One for the fuzzy-headed Leprechaun, and another for&lt;br /&gt;
sticky fingers! Only three more to go!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Briarwen, the busty little barmaid showed up with another, returning it&lt;br /&gt;
to the wee Leprechaun, breaking her madness. Of course, this greedy&lt;br /&gt;
little barmaid wouldn't return it until she finally received the pot of&lt;br /&gt;
gold first. The next was Darwin, a studious young lad, who seemed more&lt;br /&gt;
intent on studying these Leprechauns than returning their Shamrocks, but&lt;br /&gt;
he gave it up to the elegant little Leprechaun. Now only one left, that&lt;br /&gt;
mean ole leader the pot-bellied Leprechaun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, a gaunt juggalo (What is a Juggalo, anyway?), named Kritter found&lt;br /&gt;
this Shamrock among the Sidhes. The only problem was, on his way out, one&lt;br /&gt;
of them named Barney got very angry, and killed him. Things were looking&lt;br /&gt;
bad. Luckily for Kritter, and the Leprechauns, the mighty Joach and&lt;br /&gt;
Sarevok came to the rescue, slaying the evil sidhe, and retrieving&lt;br /&gt;
Knitter's body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kritter returned his Shamrock to the pot-bellied leader, in exchange for&lt;br /&gt;
more gold, and all the madness was finally put to an end. The pot-bellied&lt;br /&gt;
leader purified their well, apologized on behalf of the Leprechaun&lt;br /&gt;
community, and returned back to their hidden home. Where this is, still&lt;br /&gt;
no one knows, but it was definitely a memorable March, with all the&lt;br /&gt;
Leprechaun madness!&lt;br /&gt;

                    The Seven Circles of the Inferno&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Seven Circles comprise a group of politicians, warriors, sorcerers,&lt;br /&gt;
demons, angels, devils, servants, imps, devil worshipers, demon&lt;br /&gt;
worshipers, coffee worshipers, and others who exist to further their&lt;br /&gt;
personal power and that of the netherworldly realms. Together we stand,&lt;br /&gt;
united we conquer, individually we gloat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our chief spheres of interest include: World conquest, domination of&lt;br /&gt;
economical and political systems, sorcery, souls, general attempts at&lt;br /&gt;
making the world a more horrid place for the common man, and, obviously,&lt;br /&gt;
a more pleasant place for ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among us we desire any entity descended of the infernal realms, as well&lt;br /&gt;
as any man or woman who has conducted enough transactions with our realms&lt;br /&gt;
as to be commonly recognized as a servant or emissary of netherworldly&lt;br /&gt;
forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Formed in 2000, the Seven Circles is one of Legend's oldest surviving&lt;br /&gt;
role-playing clans. A loosely tied organisation of individualists and&lt;br /&gt;
anarchists with a strong sense of fellowship, the clan's membership&lt;br /&gt;
averages 13. To join, you need the urge -- if not experience -- to&lt;br /&gt;
role-play consistently, whereas pkill ability is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
               =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are currently 16 RP clans and 8 PK clans. This leaves open slots&lt;br /&gt;
for eight (8) more clans to form. For more information, read HELP CLAN and&lt;br /&gt;
see the clan information list via the CLANS command while logged into the&lt;br /&gt;

pair of Hermetics and a long Knight of Legend were also seen in the&lt;br /&gt;

                       Peace, Love, and Insanity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the story of Sarevok and Romaltha, a strange couple indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
Romaltha was a great mage growing up, being born with the gift of magic,&lt;br /&gt;
and unmatched in her magical prowess. However, due to her...insanity, she&lt;br /&gt;
wasn't accepted at any of the schools of Magi. They told her that her&lt;br /&gt;
magic was too out of control, and that she herself was also out of&lt;br /&gt;
control. Unable to study under any of the good or neutral schools of&lt;br /&gt;
magic, she stumbled across Sarevok. Sarevok realized the potential of&lt;br /&gt;
this young mage, and took her under his wing, molding her into the even&lt;br /&gt;
more insane, more evil her that she is today. Banding with other&lt;br /&gt;
'misunderstood' mages, they formed the clan that is known today as the&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Necromancers Society.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, Sarevok wasn't always evil. He was once a great Legend of Alasea,&lt;br /&gt;
following the path of Joach, the good path. After many trials and&lt;br /&gt;
tribulations, Sarevok realized that good was getting him nowhere, and&lt;br /&gt;
fast. Sarevok then stumbled upon a sword. The Sword of Chaos. Upon&lt;br /&gt;
wielding this sword Sarevok's true colors came out. Chaotic and Evil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roaming the land, raising the dead, and taking what riches he could for&lt;br /&gt;
himself, he stumbled upon this beautiful young woman named Romaltha.&lt;br /&gt;
Realising the potential that this young woman had, Sarevok took it upon&lt;br /&gt;
himself to take her under his wing. He schooled her in the arts of evil&lt;br /&gt;
magic, and taught her how to summon evil Demons from the void. After&lt;br /&gt;
finding other Mages with similar interests, the two formed the Dark&lt;br /&gt;
Necromancers Society.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After spending several months together, Sarevok and Romaltha's evil binds&lt;br /&gt;
drew them together, and they fell in love (awww). Yes, even evil people&lt;br /&gt;
fall in love. Anyways, with the blessings of their friends and clanmates,&lt;br /&gt;
and the wonderful LadyAce, they had decided to be joined in the Unholy&lt;br /&gt;
tradition of matrimony. Lets hope they find a happy, evil life together.&lt;br /&gt;

                   A Staid Vagabond Estrayed, Part One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I never knew my mother, but that never doused my curiosity any. Father&lt;br /&gt;
would tell me stories about how wonderful a woman she was, how beautiful&lt;br /&gt;
and loving a mother she should have been. 'She was the most beautiful&lt;br /&gt;
Viking--' Dad abruptly stopped. Being a little boy, I only looked at him&lt;br /&gt;
curiously. 'She was the most beautiful woman...' and so the story&lt;br /&gt;
continued. It was much later that the identity of my mother would come to&lt;br /&gt;
the fore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                              - - - - -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my home, scholarship was the first and last subject discussed on any&lt;br /&gt;
given day. Father lectured at the Latin School back home in Kleinstadt,&lt;br /&gt;
grooming the most promising students it had to offer. To him, the&lt;br /&gt;
classroom was omnipresent. Even at home, he would lecture at length about&lt;br /&gt;
the Papacy, Homer, Britain, or whatever else he wished to speak about. At&lt;br /&gt;
a young age he taught me the language of Rome, and brought home weathered&lt;br /&gt;
tombs from lands far off. For hours I would sit by the Quelle and read&lt;br /&gt;
while my peers played in the streets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My passion for reading and learning continued on into my early manhood,&lt;br /&gt;
even after leaving the Latin School. After I turned 14, books looked&lt;br /&gt;
juxtapose in my large hands. Schildknappes (and even Ritters!) began&lt;br /&gt;
taking notice of my size, hinting to my parents that God had given me a&lt;br /&gt;
body fit for armor. Father fiercely objected, arguing that the Almighty&lt;br /&gt;
had bestowed upon me a fine intellect. After many weeks of debate, Father&lt;br /&gt;
finally allowed them to 'evaluate' me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was assigned to work at the Holtzarbeiter early in the mornings before&lt;br /&gt;
opening, where I would help haul the previous night's harvest of lumber&lt;br /&gt;
into the stores. Although it was difficult, I thoroughly enjoyed the&lt;br /&gt;
work. During the afternoons, I was taught the basics of swordsmanship by&lt;br /&gt;
one of Roland's Schildknappes. By the next spring, I was 15, and a&lt;br /&gt;
Schildknappe to Ritter Yves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I poured everything into my duties. Ritter Yves was a very proud man&lt;br /&gt;
(rightly so) who seemed to relish in assigning me menial tasks, but I&lt;br /&gt;
always followed through. Whether it was shoveling his steed's stall in&lt;br /&gt;
the Stallungen or shining his armor, I saw to it's proper end. By the&lt;br /&gt;
winter season of my 15th year, I appeared to be favored by my Ritter, and&lt;br /&gt;
I looked forward to tasks less tedious and more worthy of a Ritter's&lt;br /&gt;
apprentice the next spring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One snowy Freitag afternoon, I was walking down Haupstrauss on my way to&lt;br /&gt;
the Stadttor on an errand. Ritter Yves had ordered me to deliver a note&lt;br /&gt;
to the guards stationed there. Rumors had been circulating that Viking&lt;br /&gt;
Spion were in the area, so I took this assignment seriously. With great&lt;br /&gt;
haste I delivered the note to Dietrich, who was heading the watch. While&lt;br /&gt;
he read it, he began looking at me in a curiously. I had never been fond&lt;br /&gt;
of Dietrich, and having him look at me in that matter made me dislike him&lt;br /&gt;
all the more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'You, huh?' Dietrich snorted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Sir?' I prompted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'I never would have thought it,' he said, chuckling after a brief pause&lt;br /&gt;
and shaking his head. Whatever he had read, it had stunned him for sure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I searched for meaning in his manner, but could find none.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dietrich put his hand to the hilt of his Saebel. 'Ein Spion! Ein Spion!'&lt;br /&gt;
he cried, and there was a bustle of activity as several guards came&lt;br /&gt;
running.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To my horror he was glaring at me! 'What is it, Dietrich?' I stuttered,&lt;br /&gt;
not daring to draw my Degen against him, 'Why do you draw your Saebel&lt;br /&gt;
against me?'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He only spat in the ankle-deep snow. 'Bloody Viking,' he sneered, his&lt;br /&gt;
eyes blazing, 'How dare you live here among us!'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

              Searching Never Finding by a Hopeless Romantic&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
           In front of his powers, flowers&lt;br /&gt;
           showers and long spent hours&lt;br /&gt;
           always searching for reprieve or repent&lt;br /&gt;
           sometimes his mind gets bent&lt;br /&gt;
           around an idea or plan&lt;br /&gt;
           but it's never good enough&lt;br /&gt;
           after all, he is but a simple man&lt;br /&gt;
           For her love, he would cross pits of fire&lt;br /&gt;
           protect her from danger&lt;br /&gt;
           cross a high wire&lt;br /&gt;
           but sometimes he feels flat&lt;br /&gt;
           just like a bike tire&lt;br /&gt;
           sometimes he feels like&lt;br /&gt;
           his life is a mire&lt;br /&gt;
           of muck and mud&lt;br /&gt;
           water and blood&lt;br /&gt;
           toil and trouble&lt;br /&gt;
           makes his life bubble&lt;br /&gt;
           All through his travels&lt;br /&gt;
           he has stayed at the Stag&lt;br /&gt;

           went to Bengal, London and France&lt;br /&gt;
           stayed there for awhile&lt;br /&gt;

           but for all of his travels all over the world&lt;br /&gt;
           he would trade it all in&lt;br /&gt;
           for the right girl&lt;br /&gt;
           someone who's smart and gentle and kind&lt;br /&gt;

                         On the Road with Bass&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If action and adventure are your ideal getaway, look no further than&lt;br /&gt;
Roman Britain. There is much to see and do here and the fear of invasion&lt;br /&gt;
is always a quick pick me up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The smoke filled Falcon Inn is a definite must see. Although Calpurnius&lt;br /&gt;
always has ale on tap and meat on the fire, he is not the most&lt;br /&gt;
entertaining host in the world. There did seem to be a steady parade of&lt;br /&gt;
travelers and locals alike to talk to while sitting in the inn's main&lt;br /&gt;
room. Several times during my stay someone would get up and make a speech&lt;br /&gt;
for anyone who would listen, often times resulting in the speaker being&lt;br /&gt;
beaten bloody. There were also a couple tax men who came in for a drink&lt;br /&gt;
and were carried out in bags. Maybe I drank to much that night, huh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like bizarre sporting events? Look no further than the Ball Field where&lt;br /&gt;
they play a funny-looking game of catch or dodge ball. I couldn't decide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your into architecture and the arts there are numerous places to&lt;br /&gt;
satisfy your eye. Take a short walk and a long look at the Basilica and&lt;br /&gt;
the Palaestra to view some masterpieces of design and form. The&lt;br /&gt;
Amphitheatre is a great place to enjoy both the craftsmanship and&lt;br /&gt;
artistry of this land of many enemies. It also has excellent acoustics&lt;br /&gt;
and my version of Wherever I May Rome....errrr...Roam sounded awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nearby fishing village of Eburacum should provide you with a pleasant&lt;br /&gt;
distraction if you get tired of the splendor you find in the rest of RB.&lt;br /&gt;
Though not my cup of rum, they do offer a certain ruralness that you&lt;br /&gt;
cannot find in other places. The aptly named Tavern did have a decent&lt;br /&gt;
brew and the tavern wench was flirting me up like a seasoned groupie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, I like this place almost as much as I like four/four time with&lt;br /&gt;
trio of back-up singers. I recommend you give it a look or maybe a&lt;br /&gt;
second. Till next time, keep the dial on ten.&lt;br /&gt;
