Sunlight filtered through
the trees ...
... shadowing the Spirit of Faydark Park. A
formidable looking Druid withdrew a
small talisman on a silver chain from
around her neck, cradling it in her hands.
Embedded in the center of the talisman
was a small blue jewel. Quietly she began
to speak, her words carrying the weight of
wisdom and years of experience in the
world of Norrath. The small gathering of
Elves around her leaned forward to catch
every word, listening intently to the story
about to be told.
“When I was very young, barely out of
childhood, the Feir’Dal lived among the
great trees of the Greater Faydark forest.
Our city, Kelethin, was built far above the
ground among the tallest and most
ancient of these trees with bridges con-
necting each city platform to the next.
This park captures but a hint of our ances-
tral homeland.”
The Druid sighed wistfully before continu-
ing on, “When I was young, our greatest
concern was defending our home from
the orcs of Clan Crushbone and from mis-
chievous pixies that liked to start fires in
the woods. The Feir’Dal spent many hours
singing the praises of Tunare and protect-
ing the Mother of All’s creatures. It was a
much simpler time, before the citizens of
Norrath grew in power and the world
turned towards irrevocable change.”
Holding up the glittering talisman in her
hands, she looked gravely at her audience,
“This talisman was once an artifact of
great power. It was created by one of the
most historically powerful wizards of
Norrath, the Erudite known to many as
Al’Kabor. It may not look like much now,
only a bauble, but it was once used as a
propylon to the nexus of Luclin. Al’Kabor
was the first among Norrath in many
years to travel to our distant moon. His
experiments in the arcane led to perma-
nent portals being opened to Luclin and
many of Norrath began to travel there on
a regular basis.
“I’m afraid it doesn’t lead anywhere now,”
she said wryly as she gazed up towards
the sky where the leading fragments of
the shattered moon had already begun to
rise. “I once wore it proudly and was
known throughout the lands as Cryth of
the Nexus for my services to Al’Kabor in
the days preceding Norrath’s exploration
of the moon. I no longer claim that title,
not since the time of the great Shattering,
when the magic of the talisman was
snuffed out like a candle wick and much
of Luclin fell from the skies to strike upon
the lands of Norrath. I know in my heart
the Nexus I once visited frequently no
longer exists. It is obvious that all other
settlements on Luclin were affected as
well, most almost certainly obliterated
completely. I mourn for the many who
were slain so far from their homes.”
Cryth sat silent and pensive for several
long moments. Recollecting her thoughts,
she began speaking again, “Norrathians
have always been explorers, however, and
little could have altered the events that
led up to the Age of War and Age of
Cataclysms. The explorers have always
sought new lands, new treasures, and new
wealth and power. Once the bridge to
Luclin had been crossed, it wasn’t such a
far leap to travel to the higher planes. Did
you know I had seen a few of them
myself?”
Cryth fastened the artifact’s chain once
more around her neck as she continued
her tale, “Many of us explored the planes
tentatively at first, soaking up the vast
amounts of knowledge available from the
citizens of New Tanaan. This changed over
time, as many became comfortable in the
planes. Soon we were challenging the
avatars of the gods themselves in their
home planes. Nothing was safe from the
hunger of the explorers. I did not witness
all of this myself, but I have heard many
tales of the battles fought against the ele-
ments and even time itself. Some of
Norrath’s most powerful champions were
on the brink of rivaling the gods.
“It is not surprising that the gods are dis-
tant from us now or that Norrath was sun-
dered by war and cataclysms. As we
invaded the homes of the gods, so in
return were our own homes attacked. The
Rallosian army would have overtaken both
of the Human cities and quite possibly all
of the known lands were it not for a mis-
take of their own which led to their down-
fall. Praise to Tunare for that deliverance!”
The Druid smiled warmly at her audience,
“I appreciate your attentiveness. We must
learn from our past to have hope for the
future. While the land and its people are
slowly healing, we have endured many tri-
als and we will continue to persevere in
whatever the future holds. We know not
what fate awaits us now, or whether our
continued faith in the old gods will be
rewarded, but each of us must continue
to strive onward. There may yet be an end
to these dark times. As for myself, I con-
tinue my prayers to the Mother of All that
should we be heard and our faith found
strong, our growth will be ensured.
“Tunare’s blessings are upon Queen
Antonia and her cause for the greater
good. As we rebuild Qeynos, so too will
we eventually rebuild all of Norrath.”
Waving her hand in dismissal, Cryth
strode from the park and entered the
Peaceful Bough. She spoke to no one as
she entered her room at the inn. Opening
a small chest at the foot of her bed, Cryth
carefully placed Al’Kabor’s Propylon of the
Nexus inside for safekeeping.
“Someday …” she whispered. “Someday I
will truly be home.”

Thistledown,
formerly
Cryth of the
Nexus
