Ragnek Stormcrow - Tales of the Wise

Once an abused hunchback chased to his death off a cliff, Ragnek Stormcrow was brought back to life by the magic of the greatest of all wizards, Ischandi the Wise. Ischandi said he needed a new wizard to wander and oversee the lands of the far North and protect them from the forces of Mordark and Louhri the Ice Queen. But in reality Ischandi wanted to send a part of his power on a deadly fact finding mission to somewhere he couldn't go himself, beyond the Frostspine Mountains and into the lands of the Witch King, Arun.

Gathering spirits and warriors around him, the newly empowered young and now striking figure of a man, embarked on his mission into the lands of the Midnight Sun. And it was there, after many misadventures and becoming embroiled in Arun's plans for world domination, he helped unearth the most powerful objects ever made... The Dragon Crowns.

She can also cure blindness, grant windfalls of wealth etc etc. She cannot wish for someone to come back to life or die.

6. Ari - Occupied Esium; Wild Court Manor - Daughter of Adunathel. Full name - Chixazrianne. Adopted daughter of Beth and Ben. Azrianne was nurtured as a baby within the egg of an unhatched dragon, giving her an incredible link to Dragons and their kin. For all intents and purposes, Dragons treat and respond to her as one of their own, seeing her as a child to be saved and looked after. Azrianne is truly a Dragon friend and powerful spiritualist too. She can project out of her body and travel to Dragons anywhere in the World. Her sister Kethry has inherited Beth's power over the World Song. Together they make a formidable pair and love each other dearly. (See no. 9 below)

7. Sharalet - Kaimyrrh - Daughter of Sinsona. Sharalet stands 5'6" tall and 105 lbs. Of slight build, she enjoys riding and story telling. Indeed, stories are Sharalet's power - the power to make fantasy reality. She can weave through her words an incredible illusion around things - convincing people that they are actually in the story.

8. Hailo - Son of Martufh - Town of Hadrian, Kethria. Hailo is heavy set young man with deeply inset eyes and short, cropped black hair. With an intense and penetrating gaze, Hailo possesses superb prolepsis and is able to foretell events only a few moments away with incredible accuracy. His chance of being accurate then begins to drop the further away in Time he tries to see. Hailo is a pacifist despite having a 21 STR, 18 CON and standing 6'3". As he can "sense" attacks or actions just before they happen, he is very hard to hit or surprise.

9. Kethry - Daughter of Beth and Ben - Wild Court Manor - Occupied Esium. Singer of the World Song. Kethry is a slim, thin limbed, blonde haired girl with an innocent face. She has a natural aptitude for all things musical or song related, inheriting her power over the World Song from her mother Beth. Abducted by Carthaze Dark and the Cult of the Dark Sun.

11. Kildarken, Son of Palleah of Shyre, adopted son of Kit Maree - Shadow, Bodyguard Fafar of the Void.A shadow mystic of tremendous power. Able to part the Veil of Shadow and move at great speed between it and the material plane.

12. Christian, Son of the Source of Shadow. Damorkand. (Not be confused with Christian, Son of King North of the Broken Realm. A very powerful, latent Channeler, able to draw upon vast resevoir's of energy. A Mage of Damorkand stronger than any that have come before him.

13. Ash - Son of Ragnek and Syrene - Dagon reborn. Ash is a strange entity, born from the union of Ragnek Stormcrow, the Witch Syrene and the spiritual imprint of Ashar Guentas. Ash stands a little over 6 feet tall with raven black hair. He appears in his late teens as a younger version of Ashar. He has glowing shifting patterns just beneath his skin, giving him an inhuman and supernatural appearance. When Ash touches another living creature he automatically mimic's that creature's mind and spirit, becoming an almost exact replica of it. After returning to normal, Ash can become that being again, at any time, but only retains 10% of the being's knowledge / personality.

14. Jessica - The Spawn Hunter. An Elondil trained assassin who specialises in Demonic Erasure, Jessica possesses all the skills and knowledge to complete this task with deadly efficiency. Blended with an experimental Liste, Jessica has all the bonus's of being an Immortal of Elondil but very few of the penalties. Her Liste / Immortal shell is actually a golem or sorts.

15. Daycaster - Lord of the ANU. An incredibly gifted spiritualist, Daycaster commands the collective ANU - The World's free spiritual elementals. Daycaster's spiritual abilities are simple in comparison to more modern day techniques and theories as he comes from an age when the study of magic was more religion than science. However, what he can do is extremely powerful. i.e. Daycaster can see into the Hearts of Men. Daycaster fell out a long time ago with Ischandi the Wise. The two men fought and caused the Great Rift between the Northern and Southern lands of Midian (Now known as Doom and Icegard etc).

16. Solomon the White. Founding member of the Pentacle, Solomon is the father of all Modern Mage craft. He invented (with a little help) the Rûnaic language of spells and with it mastered the power to shape magic into any effect. A superb enchanter, Solomon knows how to use the abilities of those around him to his own ends. Able to cast 20th level rituals and up to 18th level Spells. The Solomon of 2617 claims to have been created by North and Need, by North's use of a powerful Manifest Wish Spell. This Soloman, despite not being the "real" Soloman, is close enough to the real thing that Ischandi the Wise is forced to "disappear". There can only be one Manifestation of Orthank / Ischandi / Soloman at any given time.

17. Red - Daughter of Louhri, the Ice Queen and adopted daughter of Ischandi. Red was a friend and ally of Lord North's, whom she loved. Red has the protection of North's sword - Need, in the form of powerful globes of invulnerability to magic around her. She is extremely strong from the Frostfire of Kyth and a skilled, lethal warrior. Recently Red has undergone a spiritual journey - beginning with her union with Ashar to gain insight and power, then her experiences in the Light of the Annex Animus, which changed her soul.

Lomax wears the Robe of Enlightenment which can reflect back any Evil attack by turning it to into Good - i.e. An evil being attacking Lomax will just end up having his / her evil deed reflected back as a Good deed. Lomax's Robe can also show enlightenment - i.e. An evil being gazing at Lomax will see the error of their ways and how evil has misled them - that true strength lies in self worth and Light etc.

27. Balthazar, The Baron. Wielder of the Dragon Crown of Sun. A large, strong, learned man who has devoted years of his life to study and exploration. The Baron is immensely rich - so rich in fact he can buy the whole of Beldorn three times over. This wealth has allowed him to pursue the secrets of the World.

Aged 33, Tamara is a very powerful Metapsychic; Trained by the Chorus in advanced Concerts, to be an assassin during the height of the Cold War against Mount Eldahar, Tamara is quite single minded and loyal to Orion and his iminent return. Going by the title of Motherland, Tamara was the first to discover and gain access to Orion's reforming imagination. There she encountered the haunted mind of Hannibal Murdoch O'Neal (see below).

35. Abaddon of Heartland. Orion's 13th Black Elf. Abaddon lay, incomplete and unconscious when Mount Eldahar was attacked by the Titans and the Mind of the World broke. When he came around he found the mountain in ruins and stumbled away through Orion's laboratory tunnels. On his way out, Abaddon came across Danae Mercy Celeste. She instantly recognised him, but before she could explain, Time intruded upon her and swept her back into the future. Unbeknownst to Danae, Abaddon was caught in the unstable Time portal too, but flung instead into Eldahar pre-dawn past. There he encountered the Alfar hordes and journeyed with them, forward through time to arrive back in 2616.

36. Hannibal Murdoch O'Neal, Brotherland of Heartland. After being expunged from Daig by Lady Nox (Syrene), Hannibal reformed in Heartland. There he met Abbadon, Orion's black, monstrous son and formed an unlikely bond. Now Hannibal's reformed spirit (another Eldahar simulacrum of the original) works with Tamara, Abaddon and Danae to heal Orion and earn forgiveness for what he did. Hannibal Murdoch O'Neal - Destroyer of the Home Worlds. Hannibal led a rebellion against Orion and the Qual Gate Masters. His rebellion resulted in the detonation of a nuclear device in front of the Qual Master Gate, causing a sudden cataclysmic chain reaction. Orion never blamed Hannibal for his actions, but every other Qual did. Unlike other Qual Orion had foreseen where Hannibal's action would lead. Of all of humankind, Orion has the greatest fascination with the line of the O'Neal... because in some way he knows it is both linked to his past and future.

37. Aran - The Hoja Main of Daya, Lord of the Landsgard and then newly imbued Dragon Lord. Aran has 5 sons and 4 daughters - , Tyr, Lar, Maya (f), Joline (f), Jase, Farah (f), Karly (f) and Murlin.

When the Dragon Court, led by Run Urza decides that it needs a human to act on their behalf against Eskanu - Aran is volunteered... because of his blood ties to Eskanu, which help protect him from her Domination and allow him to harm her.

38. Eskanu - The World's Fear. Gestalt entity created from the combined thoughts of the Titan's, just prior to their fall and Orion's rise to power. Eskanu's madness is bent on destroying the World - denying Orion and his children what they see as their birthright.

41. Weylind - The Void Warrior - of Waylind - Bearer of the Mark of the Void and son of Torquil - Leader of North's army in the Midnight War.

47. Tethysantra's Breed - The Army of The One. Tethys gives Ragnek a General of her Breed called "Hundred". The Breed are living plant-like soldiers made up of wood, roots, earth and other organic substances. Whenever one of the Breed is attacked, it adapts to that attack and regrows from it immune. Furthermore, any Breed grown from the individual that is immune are also immune. So far Tethys' Breed are immune to normal weapons, fire, heat, cold, blood loss and stuns.

After journeying for 17 years in the fragmented realities of the Idiom, Godark has now returned. He possesses two ridiculously powerful Titan creations. The armour that he wears and Krantakyn the Gohde. In reality, The Ordainer is Tharizden and Krantakyn is the source of Tharizden's power in the Idiom.

53. The Optimidium. Ashar's spiritual imprinting / copying device. Made using the Oras Remus, the Optimidium allows Ashar to make unlimited copies of himself. Each copy contains preset memories, skills and abilities. As each Ashar is a formidable foe and the original Ashar has made more than 200,000 of himself, this makes for a virtually undefeatable army. Calling themselves the Deathwatch, these white masked soldiers receive orders from Infinity One (see above). After the collapse of Elondil and Daig, the slaughter by Adunathel of principal Gods and declaration of Armageddon by the Arch Angels, Ashar releases the Deathwatch to expand and enforce his power base and bring about order in his name. With no one else to put their faith in, despairing people begin to put their faith in Ashar causing the astral plane to channel its energy to him and him alone.

54. Skathen - Gestalt spirit of the 12 Demonic Hours of Armageddon. Skathen can absorb beings into himself. He seeks the false hours created by Ashar, intending on consuming them and standing before the Armageddon Clock in their place.

55. Aura - Oracle of the World - Created by Tomorrow and Ragnek using the Dragon Crowns of Power, this World inspired being has access to the World Mind and the sum of its knowledge.

57. Mace - An Incarnation of North - Another one of Ragnek's original companions who fell under one of Arun's Witch Curses when he attempted to gain entrance to forbidden temple at Citadel Icegard. Mace (gifted and very strong from the Frostfire) was cursed and turned into a girl, with seemingly no way to have the curse lifted. Mace looks almost identical to North in his younger years and is only 15 years old.

58. Svorn - Spirit of Destiny - Lives in the Icegard town of Orikeen in the lands of Midnight Sun. An old, private man who receives powerful dreams of the future.

59. Lanthorn - Last Hero of the far north? A well spoken and honorable man, Lanthorn wants vengeance against Kishra as his entire family was persecuted by the witch. His sister Irene was given leprosy, his best friend Mandag transformed into a feeble minded hunchback and later stoned to death. Lanthorn is the son of Champion Luthorn of IceGard and Leanne of IceGard. Luthorn was tortured for 8 days by Lord Bane's mad father Baras before finally declaring himself to be in league with Lord Gardus of Dark Moon. Baras then had him publicly torn to shreds by dogs. Many people in Ice Gard still recant tales of Luthorn, describing him as the "Last of the True Champions." Lanthorn was freed by Red and Ragnek on the 26/01/2617.

60. Cutter. Slain near the Great Barrier and soul bound by the Priests of Dian into a sword, Cutter has a unique spirit that allows him to touch other spirit and render himself capable of negating it.

Christian was born to North and Red on the Broken Realm shortly after North split Eldahar. Raised and educated among Qual and the most heroic of humans, Christian has strong beliefs and convictions. Upon Lord Ross' death during the Mordark War of 2601, the Blue Sword remained unwielded for many years, until one day is awoke and chose Christian as its new Champion.

Ragnek then declares Arun's power over the other Gods. (Speech).

4.30pm - Ragnek and Syrene enter the Vale of Night. They navigate their way through hundreds of planal fissures and receive a warning from the long dead Lord Fenris.

5.30pm - The secret Jixiliah - Trokalesk - Guardian of the Crown of Night, is defeated by the Dagger ION and Ragnek. Ragnek claims the Crown of Night and through the Blood of Baphomet, shares its power with Syrene (and of course his alter-ego Stormcrow).

Midnight - Ischandi calls an emergency meeting of his Wise. He prepares to enter the Chrysalis of Cairis and releases his remaining Wise from their connection to him.

9.30am - Skathen unwittingly allows another Dragon Crown to fall into the hands of a young priestess of Luna called Misren.

10.10am - The Day Eldahar stood still. In attempting to prevent a Beldornian Baron called Balthazar from taking possession of the Sun Crown, Ragnek impales it with his Dagger of Extinction - ION.

Eldahar suffers the equivalent of a Heart attack. Harmony is the only being unaffected by Ragnek's action and pulls the dagger back out. However, barriers and powerful spells across Eldahar have suddenly expired.

Ashar remains unconscious - all of his plans suddenly in jeopardy.

10.47am - Harmony is summoned by strange music across the Idiom. She is forced to leave Eldahar for an unknown destination.

11.00am - Sithell is attacked by the forces of Elondil. Ragnek travels to Sithell to retrieve the Mobius Rod and Titan Sphere but ends up defending Sithell with Adunathel against Immortals of Koen. Unable to properly escape with the Titan Sphere, Ragnek is forced to send it and Adunathel across Daig so it doesn't fall into enemy hands.

11.42am - Ragnek retrieves the second Dagger of Extinction - DOE, from the Temple of Humanity. Adunathel joins the two daggers into one super weapon but by doing so seals her own destruction.

2.35pm - Ragnek and Tomorrow converse with the Dragon, Shefanhow the Blue in Evost Derry.

3.00pm - Eskanu's advance swarm (the small bit of it) attacks the City of Kai. Ragnek and his companions defend the city and it's ruler, the Sulan.

3.15pm - Ragnek, Danae and Tomorrow head off to meet the bulk of the swarm in mid-air. 900 Wyverns are wiped out in less than 8 minutes. They retreat back to the city.

3.25pm - Eskanu, angry at losing so many of her "children" uses her most powerful ability yet and turns back time - Ragnek, Tomorrow and Danae are the only ones in the vicinity who are aware of this event. The 900 Wyverns are no longer dead!

3.40pm - Tomorrow is impaled by the Dragon-Wyvern Skathe. In order to escape, Tomorrow transports the Dragon's mind inside his imagination. Once inside, Skathe causes him to go slightly loopy.

5.00pm - As it is about to fall into Elondil's or Sargon's hands, Ragnek transports the Titan Sphere to the material plane, through the closest Hell Gate he can find. However, as he is transporting it out of Mordark (it cannot be teleported, affected by magic or mind), he is attacked in the air by Ruthannen the Red. Ruthannen grabs the sphere and activates it over Mordark. Ragnek is blasted hundreds of miles away. When he recovers he finds the whole of Mordark has been terra-formed by the Dragons into something quite remarkable.

6.00pm - Tomorrow is brought back to consciousness after his cerebral fight with Skathe, by Danae and Ragnek forcing open his mental back door and entering his mind to awaken him. He is effected by severe mental dichotomy and begins suffering from multiple personality syndrome, assuming characters from within his books. *Note - Ragnek and the others are unaware of Tomorrow's alter ego's as they pop up all across Eldahar. They occasionally receive hints when inside Tomorrow's very warped imagination.*

6.20pm - Ragnek and Syrene discover the Heart of Daig and the Source of its Evil. This discovery gives them absolute control over Daig and its minions.

6.30pm - Ragnek is coronated Overfiend/Lord of Daig by a gathering Demon Lords. Sargon and Lillianna (Abaddon's daughter) are declared equals and told to cease their fighting and unite against Elondil.

7.35pm - Ragnek walks the Reincarnation of Dagon (Whom he calls Ash) around Gost Arnan. Dagon/Ash seems to possess the ability of copying beings, their memories and abilities.

9.30pm - The Ancient Gold Dragon Run Urza calls a Dragon Gathering in the newly created Hall of Ages (Mordark). The Crown wielders seek friendly dragons to help them get in. All attending Dragons lift the "Stratum" to measure their power over the Great Dream and declare their power status to other Dragons.

10.05pm - Ragnek, Danae and Tomorrow are sent back to the Year 201, back to the days of the Grand Tourney of the Eldar and just prior to Orion's splitting of the World. Of course, this isn't the REAL history but a replica of it created by the World and the combined minds of 5 Ancient Gold dragons. See Window to Yesterday. There Ragnek learns about the Qual, the Tain and the Alondians.

10.10pm - Realizing what Run Urza and the other Golds have done in sending Ragnek and his Companions back in Time, other Dragons (led by Ire) attack the Golds, slaughtering at least half of them.

10.48pm - When Ragnek, Danae and Tomorrow return they discover a few things have changed. Ragnek meets Elanis, daughter of Thenox (First Overlord and Creator of Daig back in 702). Ragnek learns that in some way, he was Thenox - an echo of him remained after the breaking of the Heart and it was this Echo that lived on to accomplish the first Rules of Daig. 10.54pm - Ragnek enters the Star Lodge with his "daughter" Elanis. Soon after, Tomorrow and Syrene join him there to discuss Eskanu and what she actually is. Time in the Starlodge passes at a very very slow rate.

11.00pm - Tomorrow discovers the "Castle at the End of the World," and shows it to Ragnek. Ragnek and Tomorrow visit the strange castle and meet Miriadra, Spinner of Dreams. By fate, their arrival in the Castle coincides with that of Arden of Elarin and her powerful Heart sword - "Rule." Arden explains how her World is in terrible peril from a Metal God called Belegod and she is seeking the great and mythical Baphomay (Baphomet?).

11.13pm - Syrene grows increasingly restless and begins making drastic plans of action.

Midnight - Ragnek decides to enter Kand's Hollow and try to approach the Stone of Kand. The Titan Canarim intervenes (using up the last of his power doing so) warning Ragnek to go back. If Ragnek were to continue, the Crowns and the rest of the World would be slowed in Time. Time would grow increasingly stretched between Eldahar and the rest of the Idiom until eventually Eldahar's connection to everything else would snap... this would be very bad for everyone concerned! Canarim is trapped by the Stone of Kand but Ragnek escapes. *The Idiom is seriously effected by Ragnek's entry into Kand's Hollow.*

2.05am - Aiah / Miah, Queen of the Gods is slain. Fall out from the death of Ortha rocks the prime material plane. Priests, Temples and Shrines collapse. Ortha's Pool of Faith rains down upon the World as unharnessed energy, manifesting itself as blood and images of Doom!

2.07am - Ragnek and Syrene try to contain the Demon Lords of Daig, but Elondil launches a counter attack. Daig retaliates. Both forces join battle in Sithell. The Goddess Linda is slain by Adunathel.

2.12am - A Demonic army enters the Material plane and attack the Elandian City of Erehese.

2.13am - Koenig / Death carries Ragnek into Elondil. Tomorrow is also in Elondil trying to prevent things from escalating. Koenig takes Ragnek along the Rainbow Bridge to the Sun Throne and the seat of Emonra's power. Emonra's Paladins and Angels defend their Temple against Ragnek and his Hell Fire Knights. Once inside Ragnek sees Adunathel about to throw the Twin daggers of Extinction at Emonra's heart. He appears before her, pretending to be Ashar, but her mind is too far gone. She throws the daggers and extinguishes Emonra's light from the World. As Elondil continues to lose power, Daig continues to grow. Ragnek and Syrene feel themselves irresistibly drawn by Daig's growing aura into the conflict that will Herald the End of the World.

3.10am - Ragnek orders his Hell Fire Knights to attack Elondil.

3.30am - Tomorrow attempts to manipulate Time on the Astral Plane to undo recent events. He tries to mimic what Eskanu did in Kaimyrrh but fails. Elondil and Daig are now very close to the material plane, hence their respective Time ratio's are no longer 25:1 but 3:1.

4.00am - Dawn. The armies of Elondil and Daig hit the Material Plane above Mount Eldahar. Ragnek and Syrene destroy Shefanhow the Blue. Ragnek and Syrene channel the energy of Daig against the Master Gate and blow it open. The World plummets closer to Armageddon. Shefanhow manages to causes a partial Alignment change in Ragnek and Syrene before he dies. Aslan falls to earth and is caught by the Immortal of Death. Mount Eldahar explodes. The Hollow appears.

End of Time - Tomorrow's time portal opens but is unstable. Ragnek and Syrene are propelled through it, along with the other Crown Wielders, to a timeless Void at the End of the World.

After exploring the mindscapes of all the Crown Wielders, eventually Ragnek and Syrene gather everyone together. The combined powers of the Dragon Crown send them to the Architect of Time.

4.05am - The Hollow begins absorbing all the Energy from Elondil and Daig. As beings are absorbed, they reappear as Voi-Draal (Creatures of Negative energy). Ceraph's prophecy of something bigger than the first Living Dark has now come true.

The Crown wielders return an instant after they were sucked into Tomorrow's unstable time portal. They return at the TOHS in Esium. A Doman of Wan tells them that the "Living Dark" has returned.

4.06am - Ashar (who is awake again) knows that while the Hollow is draining energy at an exponential rate, the A-clock will be unable to start. Ashar allies himself with the Crown wielders (through Ragnek) in an attempt to stop the Hollow's drain.

4.10am - Equinox (Ashar in disguise) tells Ragnek that he now exists in a state of Balance. Shefanhow's aura and the Rings of Weal have now linked him to Purgatory as the Gray Lord.

4.50am - Balthazar begins creating scrolls of knowledge by accessing the World Mind.

5.30am - A plan is formulated to lead souls from Elondil and Daig, out of the path of the Voi'draal and directly into Heartland for safety. Working with the Immortals of Equilbrium, Ashar and Stormcrow, souls are slowly transported.

5.44am - Koen and the other Gods of War defend Elondil against an army of advancing Voi'draal. Amnon and Sisera (2 Archangels) monitor the situation.

6.55am - Ragnek retrieves the Raiments of the Grey Lord in Purgatory.

7.20am - Ragnek visits Tess and Hethcanter in Esium. Ragnek scares the two magic users with his ridiculous displays of immense power.

7.30am - Ashar severs all connections between Hollow and Daig by breaking Daig up and then reforming it. The drain on him is quite immense. The Ruling Cabal of other Daig Overlords across Eldahar sense what is happening to Ashar's Daig and see it as an opportune time to strike. Summoned to Ashar's aid, Ragnek helps defend him against the Cabal, just long enough for Ashar to embrace the full darkness of Oras Remus and obliterate them all. Ashar's shadow (from this point on) manifests itself independently, whispering to him... Midian, Vargrys, Yunak Ghastak , Keranus and Severon are all absorbed into the Oras Remus.

7.38am - Ragnek visits the Elondil based city of Graviton. He meets Jessica of the Order of Divine Assassins / aka The Core. Jessica is a Demon Hunter.

7.42am - Ragnek, Syrene, Tomorrow and Orin all benefit from time inside the Titan Halls. Skills are honed and developed as Time in the Halls flows differently and more slowly than outside (still 21:1).

7.45am - Yet another Summit Meeting in the Starlodge. "The Foe" - Master of the Alfar and enemy to all Dragon kind comes up in conversation.

7.55am - Ashar summons Ragnek and shows him his Death Watch "clone" army. Ragnek learns about "Infinity" and "High Guard One."

8.15am - In search of another Titan Sphere and perhaps a way of surviving Armageddon, Ashar transports Ragnek and Syrene into Eldahar's "Ways" - a series of fragmented Ids that float around Eldahar like a cloud of broken memories - memories of Worlds and Planes that existed long long ago. A copy of Ashar accompanies them on their journey. Inside the Ways, Ragnek sees the Army of Time - a massive army of Alfar attempting to reach Eldahar. Ragnek encounters "The Foundling" - a giant living ship and its strange crew. He also encounters A Judge, Nynsagul of the Balance, the Ghent (Gate Keeper of the Titans) and the Titan City of Genesis. Ragnek's journey through the Ways culminates in an audience with Remus - The Creator (an entity that predates Baphomet!). Eventually, after a brief stop at the NEXUS - Elorum, Ragnek and Syrene are returned by Nynsagul to Eldahar a short while after they left. At least one Ashar copy remains in the Ways, at the bottom of a Id Well.

8.30am - Soloman goes head to head with the Hollow. Using a massive implosion, generated by the destruction of the Arcane Sun Orb - Cthrel Ark Lumis, Soloman effectively starves the Hollow of energy, causing it to enter a temporarily dormant state. However, the Wizard has to remain locked in a battle of wills against it, otherwise it begins to expand.

8.41am - Ashar launches a full scale, World wide offensive using his Clone army of Death Watch; Each Death Watch is a spiritual copy of himself, complete with Astral and Ethereal abilities. The Death Watch occupy every major city and town across Eldahar, shifting in to assume military control. The Death Watch are supported by Scion Spheres and coordinated by Ashar's giant artificially created brain - INFINITY ONE

8.42am - Ragnek, Syrene and the Ashar copy arrive back on Eldahar on the Water Realm of Europa. The Ashar copy contacts the Oras Remus and they are soon back with the original Ashar. Ragnek and Syrene voluntarily enter Ashar's enhanced Soul Sphere; Ashar disassembles both of their souls and then recreates them again, trying to find a weakness in the Crown of Night - He tells them there is no weakness.

9.00am - Trying to take his mind off the end of all things, Ragnek purchases the Griffin Inn in Beldorn.

9.17am - Eskanu is attempting to create a Pentarch of Gates between the Realms - with Europa and Broolalis on either side of Eldahar Prime. Eskanu has hundreds of Dragons on either Realm, ready to fly through her Giant Realm Gate with her flocks of Wyverns. Danae, Tomorrow, Syrene, Ragnek and Ashar decide to strike first. During the battle, Danae challenges Eskanu for control of the Realm and unwittingly forms a psychic link with the Dragon Bane Queen; Danae puts herself inside a psychic chrysalis to protect herself from Eskanu's mental assault. Eskanu attempts to push Danae out of Eldahar's orbit but Danae awakens and frees herself. Eskanu and Danae declare a stale mate - Eskanu actually attempts to bring Danae over to her side. Danae now has black star-filled eyes.

9.23am - Ragnek and the others learn that Eskanu's servants are after Dragon eggs. Eskanu's followers are using the eggs to give Eskanu more power and create "Super Wyverns." Balthazar helps them locate eggs in the Temple of Awlona on Europa and holds the eggs to ransom to keep Eskanu at bay.

9.30am - The Ancient golden Dragon Queen - Lamah (with Titan Gate magic embedded in her flesh) arrives on Europa and claims the cache of Dragon eggs. She thanks the Crown wielders and offers aid should they need it in the future - however, she refuses to aid against Eskanu.

9.45am - Ragnek removes Kand's Hollow from the Northlands and transports it astrally to Mount Eldahar. He places Kand's Hollow (using his Robe of Invulnerability) over the Hollow and manages to dramatically slow its effects. Soloman is trapped inside. For a time, everyone believes the Hollow has been defeated.

9.46am - As things have grown dire in Elondil, the Arch Angels step forward and begin to take over, forcing Martial Law upon Heaven. The Arch Angels position themselves at strategic points throughout Elondil and declare Armageddon. Now that the Voi'Draal have withdrawn and the Hollow has been neutralised, the Arch Angels stand unopposed. The Doom Bell is rung 3 Times.

9.49am - Solen of Emonra leads the younger Gods in an attempt to retake Heaven from the Arch Angels. The Arch Angels rally and slaughter them all.

9.55am - Ragnek learns from the Immortals of Equilibrium that a strange plague is infecting everyone on the continent and spreading far faster than any of them can counter. The plague is spiritual in nature and seems intended to make people easier for Ashar to influence and control. *Ashar intends on drawing upon the collective wills of all beings on Eldahar simultaneously!* Ragnek and Tomorrow create a counter plague using their Crowns of Power.

10.00am - The Pale Saints are invited to the Star Lodge and enlisted by Elanis to help.

10.10am - Eskanu's wyvern swarm infests Evost Derry. Luckily the city was evacuated by Tomorrow and Danae earlier in the day.

10.18am - Tomorrow manages to infiltrate a portal into Ashar's High Gard complex. He and Ragnek sneak around spying on Ashar's great works and machines.

10.25am - Ragnek and Syrene agree to accompany Tomorrow through Miriadra's intricate web of Id connections to Arden's home world - in search of Baphomet. Ashar agrees to help as recent revelations about the ANIMA and ANIMUS, Eldahar's position in the Idiom and its deteriorating orbit suggest that Eldahar is slowly drifting away from the rest of Creation... if it drifts too far and all of its connections to the Idiom snap, then Harmony will never be able to return and Eldahar, as one of the two principle energy sources that keep the Idiom alive, will drift off into nothingness, shrivel and die and the whole Idiom will die without it!

10.26am - Ragnek, Tomorrow, Arden and Syrene travel to the strange Mystic filled world of Elarin. En route, Tomorrow is intercepted by the Doe-Law (the being that made him Companion and shared with him the secrets of the planes.) The Doe-Law wants him back and in order to prevent Tomorrow from sharing the knowledge he possesses with Lesser Minds, the Doe-Law permanently alters Tomorrow's consciousness, leaving him with burning white eyes. They eventually arrive on Elarin and have adventures there. Finally they return to Eldahar, but the Alternate Chaos filled Eldahar. Ragnek, Syrene and Tomorrow are captured by Mor Xul, the new First Eternal of Chaos. Mor Xul beheads Syrene with the Red Sword of Chaos. Ragnek realizes he is in the future - one possible future where Chaos has triumphed and taken Eldahar Prime. Chaos is now pouring into the Idiom. Harmony appears and rescues him and Tomorrow. By consulting the Architect of Time and with the help of the Balance, Yainar - Lord of Tanith Lorn and Harmony, Tomorrow and Ragnek are restored back to 2617, moments after they left.

10.30am - Darkness has started to spread across Eldahar. Balthazar starts to show signs of madness. He covers himself in Titan made armour. Increases his height to 30' tall and embeds dozens of Titan artefacts into his newly created body.

10.40am - Using 3 Crowns of Power and all the Wise of Cairis, Ragnek, Tomorrow and Brin create AURA - The World Oracle. Repercussion of Aura's creation are felt world-wise. Ashar is extremely angry at what they have done.

11.10am - Ragnek and the others awaken after creating Aura.

11.16am - Ashar shows Ragnek what Balthazar has been up to. Balthazar is in the Titan city of Gharen Yonirn in the Underdeeps. Balthazar is utterly mad and attempting to bring about the end of the World himself. Balthazar summons the Herald of the Ordainer - a being called Godark who wields a stupidly powerful weapon called Kranatakyn The Gohde. Balthazar and Godark argue. Balthazar attacks Godark by summoning 3 red dragons from his chest. The black sword impales Balthazar in his head, paralysing the Crown of Power! Ashar demands that Godark stop and the Herald does. Balthazar, consumed by rage and increasing paranoia, hurls himself from Eldahar and out into the ids.

11.35am - Ragnek attempts to make contact with the Balance to try and find a way of defeating Chaos and more importantly getting Syrene back. The BLANK arrives instead of Nynsagul.

11.45am - The Blank leads Ragnek & Tomorrow through the Master Gate at the Hollow to visit King North on the alternate Eldahar. There they learn that both Eldahar's are about to rejoin one another and that Chaos intends on launching a full scale World-wide offensive. *By fully opening the Master Gate, the Blank forces the A-Clock to start, thereby giving everyone a fighting chance to defeat Chaos when it comes through.*

11.42am - The Armageddon Clock begins ticking. Christian of Damorkand becomes the First Hour of the clock.

11.49am - Ashar's plans move into their next stage. As Heartland is growing in belief and influence, Ashar cannot allow it to continue leeching belief away from his own power play. Heartland is attacked by the forces of Ashar. Tamara and Abaddon are captured. Danae is dominated by the Oras Remus. Ragnek and his companions contemplate how to attempt a rescue without directly facing Ashar.

11.55am - Ragnek tracks down Methos and tries enlisting the Ancient being's aid. Methos just confuses him.

11.59am - Wan and Alyx release Kitara by the Blessed Lake - the Arda Avatarn.

Midday - Tethysantra contacts Ragnek to arrange a truce. Tethys meets with him and shares vital info. Thethys gives Ragnek one of her "super" biologically enhanced and adaptive soldiers called "Hundred".

12.05pm - Ragnek and Tomorrow go to visit Christian in Damorkand. *So ended Paul's playing of Ragnek.*

*Note - A lot seems to happen during the space of a few short minutes... this is partly down to Wan's ability to communicate with other beings via his Aura, which is a lot faster than normal speech. It is also partly down to the varying planes (like Elondil) having slightly different Time distortion factors. However, none of the above completely explains away certain temporal anomalies... could it be that something else is distorting Time, without people realizing it?*

12.06pm - With Wan's help, Aslan ascends to Elondil. Kitara gives Aslan the sword - Ave Avatar. Wan takes Aslan into the Hallowed Halls of Heaven. Aslan begins uniting the Immortals in a bid to reclaim Elondil from the Arch Angels.

12.15pm - The 3 Lodges of Orion crash down onto Eldahar, piercing the three sub gates in Daas, Aegis and Weyr. Together, all three gates channel energy towards Eldahar's master gate in an attempt to force the gate open to a specific place and time - however, the Hollow is tactically positioned to oppose them and prevents the gate from forming. The Unrashauwan (Spirits of Orion) converge on the site and enter a giant 200 foot high Black sword that has manifested, like a non-corporeal headsman's axe, over the Hollow. The Spirits disappear and are never seen in the same form again.

12.19pm - Wan leaves Kethry with the Wizard Hethcanter, but not before paying a visit to what is left of Darksea and then briefly encountering the Immortal of Death.

12.21pm - Wan and Alyx are taken for a trip through Ashar's hidden base. There they liberate Makailla's spirit - Makailla and Alyx become one.

12.22pm - From Ashar's hidden army base to the heights of Heaven and the Temple of Akilla - Alyx dies, but is reborn, absorbing the Pool of Faith of Akilla to become a Demi-Goddess, able to walk the Material plane but still call upon divine energy.

12.29pm - Triumvirate forms. Wan and Alyx approach and enlist the support of Godark and Kranatakyn, his black intelligent Netherplanal sword.

12.39pm - Wan launches an attack against the gestalt entity called Skathen. Skathen escapes by hurling Wan and a piece of the astral plane into the Void (Absolution!). But Wan uses the Source to guide him back to reality.

12.42pm - The first hour ends. Christian of Damorkand is absorbed. The power of the next Hour transfers to Kildarken of the Land of Shadow.

12.50pm - Kildarken tears apart his enemy, the Vadash of Shadow, along with the Vadash's palace, army and everyone in the vicinity. After that, unable to be controlled by his friends, Kildarken taps the energy of the Shadow plane and turns his power upon the Palasdine Empire. The Eastern invaders are suddenly faced with a cloud of utmost shadow that suffocates their troops and steals the shadows of their mages.

13.05pm - Danae enters the Between and travels to Eskanu's "Nest". There she surrenders to the Dragon God, expecting Ashar to channel his power through her directly into the mind of Eskanu. But Ashar betrays her and Danae faces imminent death. At the very last instant, she unlocks her most terrifying ability; that of mental subsumation and unleashes a Psychic Fury upon the multi-headed Dragon horror. At that same instant, Aran, who has undergone alterations by the conclave of Ancient Gold dragons, senses Eskanu's suffering via his link with the creature. The Golds decide it is time for him to attack; Aran isn't so sure, but pressured into it, the Golds mentally behind him, he plunges into the fray, completely unaware of the danger that he faces from Danae.

13.20pm - Kildarken's madness grows stronger by the minute. Tomorrow and Brin attempt to placate him but he lashes out, hurling Tomorrow right through a mountain. Fortunately for the former thief, he phases at the last moment.

14.02pm - 2 Chaos gates from the Broken Realm open onto Material plane at Mount Eldahar and the Evermore Vault. The battle vs Morgrim's hordes begins.
