I'm sure all the various factions in the Broken Lands can get confusing as you follow Radnir's path. So, I've uploaded a diagram showing how things link together.

Here is a description of the important points, heading west to east in the diagram:

The far west area contained a cave with a portal. That is how the group ended up here. Spiritmarch was the home of fallen celestials, who had been summoned to fight in a war a few centuries ago, but were smote from the sky in a magical fire. The power of the summoning has kept their sprits bound here. Tathika, a friendly witch, was also in Spiritmarch. She had helped summon the celestials a few centuries ago, but wants to see them freed.

Another witch, Anala (who was in a cave in Spiritmarch) was the master summoner those centuries ago, and wanted to twist the spirits to her own use. The party killed her, and took part of her body to cast into a summoning circle to break the summoning of the fallen celestials, and free the spirits. Tathika, the friendly witch, told the group that the summoning circle is in the land of the Enlightened.

Heading further east, the Wretched were creatures mutated by the Enlightened. The party fought and killed some of them.

The "Village of the Damned" is a small village of peaceful people who barely manage to survive. These villagers depend on the Enlightened for food and water. The Drakonar (dragonmen) have an uneasy peace with the villagers, but hate the Enlightened. Since the main gate into the land of the Enlightened is sealed, the group is trying to enter through the caves/tunnels under the drakonar caves (Throden'whaere).

The self-proclaimed "Enlightened" are descendants of those who survived the razing of the Broken Lands centuries ago. According to Tathika and Vangal, the Enlightened believe that they alone were "chosen" by the gods to start anew, and that the fire from the sky (which some have called the firerain, others the heavenslayer) was a cleansing from the heavens to wash away sins and impurities. They keep those such as the Damned under their thumb, doling out the scarce food and water in the region. {mos_fb_discuss:14}

I'm able to get onto the server via my LAN, but when going through the internet, I can't see the server. Try to direct connect, but if you can't get on, send me a message and I'll do some troubleshooting.

The session summary for the March 16 session is up, and the roleplay forum for the March 23 session is now open. The registration page for the March 23 session will go up soon.

I'll be away until Sunday afternoon, so I won't be able to send out any last minute reminders.  So . . . let this serve as a reminder to register for the game if you haven't already, and plan to make it.  If you can't make it, please let us know over in the forums.  Thanks!
