"The great Enemy, the Grey Thought Entity called Ilsensine, comes to

Yggdrasil from the Far Realms that lie beyond it. She entered our

world in the distant past, possibly even through the beginning. For
|

eons, she lay dormant as the seed of inspiration, buried in the
|
|
minds of the gods of Law.
|

"In this age before ages, the mind flayers ruled the universe, having
|
|
themselves traveled through far realms to that era from the distant
|
|
future. They learned of that nascent thought, or brought knowledge
|
|
of it back from the future, and worshiped it as Ilsensine.
|
|
|
|
"Before the mind flayers could complete preparations for the rise of
|
|
the Enemy, they were overthrown by a revolt of the slave races, and
|
|
the great ring of Penumbra was broken.
|
|
|
|
"But the gods of Law, contemplating the strange natural order of
|
|
the mind flayers, stumbled on the Thought, and were consumed by
|
|
it. The other gods of the heavens became aware of the Enemy and
|
|
fought against it, but they too were consumed one by one, until only
|
|
the gods of the earth remained.
|
|

"The mortal races of the earth were trapped between the new God
|
|
of the heavens and the old gods of earth. But they were not
|
|
unprepared.
|

"Our ancestors discovered a silver bell that could open anything.

They turned the power of this bell against itself, opening a ring-

shaped hole in the world through which the foreign Thought Entity

could be ejected from the universe.

|
the defeat at the Battle of Heavenfall and the Night of Falling

Stars.
|

"It is too late to employ the Annulus against Ilsensine, for all

the base matter of the world now stirs with her thoughts. The only

hope is to take the Annulus back into the past, to before Ilsensine
|
|
overran the heavens, and employ it against her then. This is the

great mission for which you have spent your whole life training.
|

armies of the Resistance have been unable to penetrate deep

enough into enemy teritory to reach that place, and now there

Suddenly, you stand before the ruins of an ancient building. All

around you, shadows flit and flicker below an indistinct sky. A

cold breeze blows in aimless breaths, bearing the rumor of distant
|
|
whispers.
|
|
|
|
You know this place well; though you have been here but once before,
|
|
and that in a dream. That night, as you stood over the strange, dry
|
|
corpse that sprawls alone within the shell of this ruined library,
|
|
the wind whispered to you with a thousand tounges, speaking the
|
|
names that still ring in your ears, the names that drove you
|
|
into exile.
|
|
|
|
You do not dream now. The wind is filled with a muted tension,

as of a scream just below the threshold of hearing, and dark

creatures stalk the wastes around %H.

A bloody form now hangs before you, a form that may once have been
|
|
a man, now savaged by great beasts. So violent was the attack that
|
|
the beasts' teeth were torn from their sockets, and lodged in the
|
|
man's skin. The sheer variety of teeth bears mute witness to the
|
|
number of assailants that dogged the man.
|
|
|
|
The thousand whisperers speak as one: "Dahlver-Nar; Dahlver of the
|
|
teeth; the first to listen, the first to speak. Dahlver-Nar, of
|
|
the Gates of Teeth, who built the way through which we reach."
|
|
|
|
The bloody form moans in pain and paws at its ruined,
|
|
toothless mouth with its ruined, tooth-torn hands.
|
|
|
|
"Another now seeks to close those Gates. A mortal man, who died
|
|
and yet walked on, who mouldered to dust, and yet thought on.
|
|
Acererak the Devourer, Acererak the skull; who lives and stands
|
|
and thinks now on both sides of the Gates, who has but to bite
|
|
down, to cut off the breeze through which we talk, to sever
|
|
the way on which you walk."

In your youth, the world was a simple place. You could see your whole

Some strange magic is at work, for your village is not located near

the Lost Library. At least, you don't think it is, you never were

was the dragon waiting for them. None escaped that way. Then he

crept in through the Front Gate and routed out all the halls, and

lanes, and tunnels, alleys, cellars, mansions and passages. After

and the Watcher at the West-door, there was no where for them

Peak, the secret site of the ancient Vast Gate.

|
his tower, and that he plans to spread his heretical

teachings accross the Underdark. Already we have been

murder and supplant her fellows. For this,

strands, of darkness unpierceable, of plots

indecipherable. True spiders are the

servants of this web. One spider, however,

stole secrets from the web, and fled with

her followers across the Realities.

The various gods and heroes of the world struggled

Now, there is a story:
|
|
|
|
After the Creation, the cruel god Moloch rebelled
|
|
against the authority of Marduk the Creator.
|
|
Moloch stole from Marduk the most powerful of all
|
|
the artifacts of the gods, the Amulet of Yendor,
|
|
and he hid it in the dark cavities of Gehennom, the
|
|
Under World, where he now lurks, and bides his time.

The various gods and heroes of this world struggle
|
|
mightily to recover the amulet, for the god who reclaims
|
|
the amulet will be granted ascendance over the other
|
|
gods of the world.
|
|
|
|
It wasn't always this way. In the days from which you
|
|
traveled there was but one god, Ilsensine. She and her
|
|
illithid empire ruled over all of the known universe.
|
|
|
|
You, a newly empowered %r, have been heralded
|
|
from birth to travel to the future, now. The mighty
|
|
plan of Ilsensine will be ready then and the slave
|
|
races replenished.
|
|
|
|
You must travel back on your quest to recover the
|
|
memories of illithids past and with them inside
|
|
the mighty Illithid Staff ascend to the Astral Plane with
|
|
the amulet and use the memories to travel to The Void,
|
|
where Ilsensine slumbers.
|
|
|
|
%d must be recovered and the natural order
|
|
of power brought back to this forsaken universe.
|
|
|
|
Go bravely for Ilsensine!
