&lt;br /&gt;
This week we leave the ancient era and move the medieval era. The games,&lt;br /&gt;
articles and plenty of updates will continue only showcasing the medieval&lt;br /&gt;
areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are still encouraging players to write up short travelogue type&lt;br /&gt;
articles on their favorite area in the medieval era and submit it to&lt;br /&gt;
lt@legendmud.org (3-5 paragraphs/500 word max). What's interesting/fun to&lt;br /&gt;
do there, what makes this your favorite area, what's your favorite thing&lt;br /&gt;
to show off there to new players, etc. No spoilers or other in game info&lt;br /&gt;
please!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following keywords can be used with the HELP command online to find&lt;br /&gt;
out more information about these medieval areas:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1802AK; ALHAMBRA; BOSTON; CRUSADES; FIWAR; KLEIN; MALTA; MEDSEAS;&lt;br /&gt;
PIRATEDEN; ROMANIA; SALEM; SHERWOOD; STDENIS; TORTUGA; TUDOR; VICELIMA;&lt;br /&gt;
and VIKING&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also have a section on the web pages that is dedicated to providing&lt;br /&gt;
basic information and related links that may be of interest. To visit,&lt;br /&gt;
that page, please point your browsers to:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
          http://www.legendmud.org/Reference/medieval.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you're planning an adventure to go explore any of these areas for the&lt;br /&gt;
first time, we like to recommend that you read the helpfile on the area&lt;br /&gt;
first, turn brief off, check exits often and check out HELP MAPPING, and&lt;br /&gt;
enjoy the experience!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We hope that you are enjoying our journey this summer and that everyone&lt;br /&gt;
is having a good time exploring our world's history!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great week!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While on a run in the frigid arctic, Senix was attacked by a gang of&lt;br /&gt;
zombies and Frostmorn was stolen from him. After escaping, he returned to&lt;br /&gt;
the tomb of his ancestor, Eric the Red, and retrieved the fabled hammer,&lt;br /&gt;
Soulcrusher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senix will no longer be recognized as:&lt;br /&gt;

Long:  A snarling Viking warlord of ungodly strength is here, sharpening&lt;br /&gt;
       Frostmorn.&lt;br /&gt;

  A Hot Line From Hell    Briarwen previously has managed to get Knights&lt;br /&gt;
                          to pay her daily bills. Word has it, though,&lt;br /&gt;
that she has her eyes set on Sir Percy Blakeney of the Seven Circles&lt;br /&gt;
next, probably much to the lack of amusement on behalf of Lady Aemilia&lt;br /&gt;
Blakeney.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while on the subject of Briarwen, champion of ladies' free&lt;br /&gt;
enterprise, rumor has it that she finally allowed Sir Lawrence Windstrom,&lt;br /&gt;

And that brings us from demons and their followers to those who hunt us,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This week, The Syndicate will be celebrating their second anniversary of&lt;br /&gt;
forming on July 3rd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In true mafioso fashion, their purpose is their concern, not ours. If&lt;br /&gt;
you're interested in a mafia RP, note that they're very up front about&lt;br /&gt;
their expectations:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      'If you can't handle strict rules and not good at taking&lt;br /&gt;
      orders from someone higher up then you, then don't bother&lt;br /&gt;
      seeking for us. However, if you can then contact one of&lt;br /&gt;
      The Syndicate for more information or ask for the Don.'&lt;br /&gt;

The Infernals and Wardens tied for the most active members in pkill this&lt;br /&gt;
week. The Grendels tied for second, but were possibly handicapped by a&lt;br /&gt;
bug which outcast all but two of their members one day but caught up with&lt;br /&gt;
those two lucky souls the next day. (The bug is with the CLANTIMER&lt;br /&gt;
command which has been turned off until it can be fixed) The Knights of&lt;br /&gt;
Legend also had as many members active as the Grendels this week closely&lt;br /&gt;
followed by the Seven Circles members. Clan Smashum had a pair of members&lt;br /&gt;
involved in pkill this past week and The Agrabah Mafia, The United&lt;br /&gt;
Surgeons of Legend, The Society of Allies, The Hermetic Order and The&lt;br /&gt;
Institute of Healing Arts all had at least one member involved in some&lt;br /&gt;
sort of pkill activity this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
               =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past week there were 38 pk-related deaths involving 36 different&lt;br /&gt;
characters. Of those 36 characters, 8 of them were accept all and 14 of&lt;br /&gt;
them were PKE at the time. There were 11 pke vs pke battles that ended in&lt;br /&gt;
death. There are 38 PKE characters total. So come on, let's get YOUR name&lt;br /&gt;
up in lights! We can't report on it if you don't tell us about it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you witnessed or commit any glorious or nefarious deeds, send a short&lt;br /&gt;
report to us at the LT. If you are looking for a fight, recruiting, or&lt;br /&gt;
anything else related to PK (not necessarily PK Clan related), send it&lt;br /&gt;
in! It's free AND you'll get a prize token! Be a celebrity, the envy of&lt;br /&gt;
all your friends! Tick off your enemies or just tell your side of the&lt;br /&gt;
story! The possibilities are endless -- act today!!&lt;br /&gt;

                            One Fine Day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Briarwen tugged at her low cut blouse irritably. Things just were not&lt;br /&gt;
going as she had planned. She had thought all Knights would be as easy to&lt;br /&gt;
dupe as Robar had been. Apparently she had been wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so that Lawrence was a real dimwit, offering to do anything in&lt;br /&gt;
retribution for that little scratch he gave her. What a sucker! And he&lt;br /&gt;
didn't seem to be impressed by her advances, either. Of course, if one&lt;br /&gt;
believed what Robar had said about him...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After slamming a mug of ale down on the table and splashing a nearby&lt;br /&gt;
customer she stormed back to the bar, her thoughts in turmoil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Aidan! What sort of Knight was he? He wasn't hiding any deep dark&lt;br /&gt;
secrets that she could tell. Maybe she just had to try harder. He almost&lt;br /&gt;
seemed immune to her charms. Maybe she was losing her touch? Nahhhh. Must&lt;br /&gt;
be something wrong with HIM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thoroughly frustrated, Briarwen all but threw the mug of ale at the next&lt;br /&gt;
patron and received a sharp blow from the tavern keeper for her&lt;br /&gt;
insolence. Sullen and moody, she decided she'd find a different tavern to&lt;br /&gt;
work in tomorrow night and went back to her musings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And don't even get her started about Percy - okay, so she'd cornered him&lt;br /&gt;
in Marcel's closet once - but was he going to hold that against her&lt;br /&gt;
forever? All she wanted was one little dinner... and enough dirt on him to&lt;br /&gt;
make him pay through the nose...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A leather-faced man came up to her and slipped a handful of coins into&lt;br /&gt;
her pocket, giving her a sly wink he headed towards the back stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
Great. A fisherman. Could this day GET any better?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
                     Regaining a Bit of Normalcy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'We've got 'im!' The panting guard had shown up by their side in Lima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Queen MoiraGwyn and Lady Emrysia exchanged glances before walking briskly&lt;br /&gt;
to the boats to follow the guard back to the castle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scenery towards Aleppo seemed to dart by, all concentration on the&lt;br /&gt;
gates of Carian Trag and what might lay inside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Help! I- no, no nooo really, you don't understand! Helllllp!' A&lt;br /&gt;
heavily-accented Arab was bellowing from just inside the gates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MoiraGwyn grimaced at Emrysia, her amused face reading that this should&lt;br /&gt;
be interesting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sound of locks opening and bars sliding and the gates opened to a&lt;br /&gt;
scene of a cuffed, fidgety man surrounded by annoyed guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Please let us beat him I have never met anyone so...' The newest of the&lt;br /&gt;
guards stared helplessly at the ranting man before him&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Look Emrysia, Ashimar has returned home! Isn't that nice?' MoiraGwyn&lt;br /&gt;
poised a smile at Emrysia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emrysia's annoyance narrowed down upon the Financial Advisor. Her voice&lt;br /&gt;
was thick with her thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Oh... yes..,' Her words dripped. 'SO nice to see him back. I DO hope he&lt;br /&gt;
brought back a souvenir from his vacation, don't you MoiraGwyn?'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Queen smiled ever-so-sweetly at her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Well are we sure he had enough money on him? I mean after all...-' Her&lt;br /&gt;
words were cut by the pleading sounds of Ashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Nooo no, just a misunderstanding, truly! Why, I would NEVER think to-&lt;br /&gt;
Ow! No, don't touch me there, BAD guard! Put that sword from my throat!&lt;br /&gt;
Help!!' He turned back towards the women who eyed him coolly. 'Your&lt;br /&gt;
Highness, surely your most trusted and.. and LOYAL, oh yes, so very very&lt;br /&gt;
loyal servant, man... I would NEVER- No, dont tighten the shackles, ow!&lt;br /&gt;
My wrists they are delecate! Please get these guards off of me!!'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Somehow I think he forgot to bring us back anything from his trip,'&lt;br /&gt;
Decided Lady Emrysia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'How much money was left?' The Queen turned to the guard who found him,&lt;br /&gt;
he was holding his sword to Ashimar's neck in an attempt to quiet him&lt;br /&gt;
down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'It was not like that at all, I simply forgot I had your money on me!'&lt;br /&gt;
Ashi quickly interrupted. 'The Kingdom's local treasury has 825,929&lt;br /&gt;
coins! See I have even polished them for you!'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'We suspect that he left with over 850, 000 on him, Your Highness,' The&lt;br /&gt;
guard bowed his head respectfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'It's my mother, she is old and feeble and sick.. and- Oh! My poor&lt;br /&gt;
sister, she needs a doctor and yes, of course I was looking for a perfect&lt;br /&gt;
gift while I was away, because I care so much for you all. And.. and..&lt;br /&gt;
and I needed a new table for my room, something more fitting for the&lt;br /&gt;
castle of such prominent royals! Something jeweled and.. Hey, this guard&lt;br /&gt;
is way too close! HELP!'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MoiraGwyn zoned out, watching the rather animated man chatter away. He&lt;br /&gt;
was reminiscent to the time Rowane and she visited the zoo... The day the&lt;br /&gt;
monkeys were hyper and hopping about chittering. She blinked back to&lt;br /&gt;
reality, Ashimar droning on and on pitifully, his voice taking on a high,&lt;br /&gt;
whiney nature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'When is the last time we went shopping together?' MoiraGwyn turned to&lt;br /&gt;
Emrysia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A smile played upon the lips of the former Chancellor, they both knew it&lt;br /&gt;
was before they had stopped speaking. Such a thing was long over due to&lt;br /&gt;
assist in the repairs of the friendship. And the Queen certainly did&lt;br /&gt;
still need to replace articles stolen recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emrysia wryly turned to the team of guards, who seemed ready to beat Ashi&lt;br /&gt;
merely for being a nuisance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Handle it as you will. And please make sure he puts the money back.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'No!' Ashimar choked. 'Don't leave me with these people, I don't know&lt;br /&gt;
where they have been! ARG help! Help! Sparky, remember when I gave you a&lt;br /&gt;
key?!! Noooo woohoo- don't touch me, I am a gentle man! Please, I beg of&lt;br /&gt;
you don't put me near Masha!!' They watched as he was dragged off&lt;br /&gt;
yowling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Chocolate ice cream cone on the way to Paris?' MoiraGwyn asked Emrysia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Oooh yes!' Her face lit up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Off they went to start the rebuilding of their friendship, with&lt;br /&gt;
chocolate, shopping, and a Frenchman named Jacques who happened to be a&lt;br /&gt;
magnificent seamstress.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
                      Fire and Dreams, part IV&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She walked back into the shop and went quietly to the back corner where&lt;br /&gt;
the counter of fish was located. She stood there silently watching the&lt;br /&gt;
two men. She was struck by the similarities in them, but it was not that&lt;br /&gt;
they looked so much alike, though she did admit that they did. The young&lt;br /&gt;
man shared many of Gad's characteristics, but his stature and features&lt;br /&gt;
were more finely tempered. He was definately a good looking young man. &lt;br /&gt;
The young man was smaller than Gad, but exuded no less confidence and&lt;br /&gt;
power, but where Gad's was size and strength, the young man's had a sense&lt;br /&gt;
of power from within. Almost as if he could ask the sky to stop raining,&lt;br /&gt;
or cause fire to rain down from above, and would be obeyed. Yet his eyes&lt;br /&gt;
were much like Gad's, a certain kindness to them. She tried to listen,&lt;br /&gt;
pretending to be looking at the fish and pies. They talked quietly and&lt;br /&gt;
quickly in Gad's tongue. She understood a little, but only in pieces,&lt;br /&gt;
and was still confused. She heard the words Odin, serve, and fight from&lt;br /&gt;
the young man and Gad sighed and shook his head. She made out the words&lt;br /&gt;
peace, and fjellbrann. The young man looked at the wall opposite the&lt;br /&gt;
forge. She found herself drawn to look as well, and blinked when she saw&lt;br /&gt;
a huge warhammer hanging there, almost like a decoration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The young man began speaking louder, and she was able to understand more&lt;br /&gt;
of it. 'What do you mean, you will not fight? This is to preserve the&lt;br /&gt;
life you know! Odin told me that you were to fight. Do you think that&lt;br /&gt;
the gods gave you that hammer so that it could sit on a wall, collecting&lt;br /&gt;
DUST??' He stopped abruptly when he noticed her staring at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The huge man looked at her with an apologetic, sad smile and said, in&lt;br /&gt;
english, 'Bjorn, this is Syrin. Syrin, this is my son, Bjorn, a priest&lt;br /&gt;
of Odin. I missed ya comin' in. There be anythin' more I can be gettin'&lt;br /&gt;
ya?'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Just some fish, Gad,' she said. Gad crossed the road and got her some&lt;br /&gt;
more salmon. The huge norseman sighed as he walked back across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
He took the warhammer from the wall and said, 'Ja, ok Bjorn. I will&lt;br /&gt;
fight... find yer Ma, gonna need her too, eh.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The young man nodded triumphantly and turned to go. He stopped and&lt;br /&gt;
looked directly into her eyes. A odd feeling ran through her, and then he&lt;br /&gt;
smiled and nodded to her as he walked out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She began to feel dizzy again... she walked out the door and fell to the&lt;br /&gt;
ground, her vision blurred again. Her head began to hurt, so she closed&lt;br /&gt;
her eyes, trying to will the pain away. When the pain was gone, she&lt;br /&gt;
opened her eyes again, only to find herself back in her cottage by the&lt;br /&gt;
fire. She shook her head and started to rise when she noticed her son&lt;br /&gt;
looking at her. He smiled and held up a pair of carved ravens for her to&lt;br /&gt;
see. 'Ma! Raven...'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'Hello, little bear, What are you doing?' He grinned and made the birds&lt;br /&gt;
fly and land on his shoulder, all the while smiling broadly. When he ran&lt;br /&gt;
off to his room again to play she gasped at the thought that ran through&lt;br /&gt;
her mind. 'He couldn't know what I saw, could he? No, that's crazy...'&lt;br /&gt;
Yet she couldn't help but to wonder....&lt;br /&gt;
