Failed Hope is bent in two places, hammered like a mace against the enemy’s shield. A dull crack and the blade is a third its former length. Failed Hope fades from his hand.

The shadow of a blade remains. It solidifies. The fell blade called The Reason Why has met the conditions. It terrorizes the battlefield, a true champion!

A champion is a target. Desperate soldiers fire a siege weapon at him. The Reason Why angles to deflect. But it is a sword. Not a shield.

The broken blade does not fall to the ground. It sings. He staggers back. They all do. Unstable Stem touches the ground; they fall.

Unstable Stem must be borne. Once it is, everyone is slain. Alone, gone.

Things are well. But Karma/my job have been occupying my full attention. Capitalism in this world and the next, if you catch my meaning. Sorry for neglecting this place.

Not a problem, I was just checking in.

Almost zombie time!

Sorry for zombifying everyone, It's what I do!

More importantly, I've decided to passlock the region until our founder returns. Velarus, If you see this TG me for the password.

Hopefully its just a short nap in CTE land...

I saw that. The players behind this region seem not to have much time, currently. Too bad their puppets won't get cards.

I liked the outcome of my card, too :) One of the few of mine that actually looks better vertical, lol. Yours is nicely aligned and suitably horrifying :P

Thank you! SoBSoT and Sapphique were alive just long enough to get cards. the others won't unfortunately. Thanks for sticking around and chatting!

From "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell." I'm reading it now, came across this mysterious little excerpt, and thought it should live here.

I reached out my hand; England's rivers turned and flowed the other way;

I reached out my hand; my enemies' blood stopped in their veins;

I reached out my hand; thought and memory flew out of my enemies' heads like a flock of starlings;

My enemies crumpled like empty sacks.

I came to them out of mists and rain;

I came to them in dreams at midnight;

I came to them in a flock of ravens that filled the northern sky at dawn;

When they thought themselves safe I came to them in a cry that broke the silence of a winter wood.

The rain made a door for me and I went through it;

The stones made a throne for me and I sat upon it;

Three kingdoms were given to me to be mine forever;

England was given to me to be mine forever.

The nameless slave wore a silver crown;

The nameless slave was a king in a strange country.

The weapons that my enemies raised against me are venerated in Hell as holy relics;

Plans that my enemies raised against me are preserved as holy texts;

Blood that I shed upon ancient battlefields is scraped from the stained earth by Hell's sacristans and placed in a vessel of silver and ivory.

I gave magic to England, a valuable inheritance

But Englishmen have despised my gift

Magic shall be written upon the sky by the rain but they shall not be able to read it;

Magic shall be written on the faces of the stony hills but their minds shall not be able to contain it;

In winter the barren trees shall be a black writing but they shall not understand it.

Two magicians shall appear in England.

The first shall fear me; the second shall long to behold me;

The first shall be governed by thieves and murderers; the second shall conspire at his own destruction;

The first shall bury his heart in a dark wood beneath the snow, yet still feel its ache;

The second shall see his dearest possession in his enemy’s hand.

The first shall pass his life alone; he shall be his own gaoler;

The second shall tread lonely roads, the storm above his head, seeking a dark tower upon a high hillside.

I sit upon a black throne in the shadows but they shall not see me.

The rain shall make a door for me and I shall pass through it;

The stones shall make a throne for me and I shall sit upon it.

The nameless slave shall wear a silver crown,

The nameless slave shall be a king in a strange country.

Alone. To help.
The nutshell. No ‘scape.
Egress. Again.
