Or would he crush himself?

The Birth of Atamne and Libad (Primordial Age)
Ae looked on Asho, the child of Io, and upon Entrochi, the daughter of Uy. They were good. As Ae always had, He took what the others made and tried to mimic it. He took part of Asho's essence, some of its flame, and gave it life. Thus, Atamne the Torchbearer was born. He took the Sun and brought it about the world, giving it light.
Asho felt violated, angered. But Asho, a child of the First Gods, could not hope to confront Ae itself. Thus, Asho went to Io, its parent, and requested assistance. But Io, drained of its passion by creating Asho, refused to aid in its child's vengeance. And so Ae was unpunished.
Ae felt elated, watching the world bask in the glow provided by his son. However, when night came, the world saw only black, for the Stars had not come into being. Thus, Ae took Entrochi and made a child with and from her. This child, another son, was called Libad, and given an orb which glowed with a pale light. Libad's orb was called Luna, and graced the night sky so the world was always reminded of Ae.
Entrochi was even more furious than Asho had been at this violation. She told her mother, Uy, what had happened. Thus, the two Gods fought each other, creating massive storms which wracked the world and threatened to destroy all that had been done. Only Io's intervention stopped such a fate. Even after Io mediated this dispute, Ae and Uy retained a grudge.
Sometimes, this grudge erupted and still erupts into storms on the ocean's surface, where sea and sky meet. These storms, typhoons, still cause sailors to fear for their life and sometimes threaten those who live on the coast. But, when they come near the domain of Io, Io begins to mediate the arguments once more, causing the storm to abate as it goes inland.

I understand that it's how the game works, I'm just saying that it's not always easy to comprehend what's happened.

I'll get something done.

EDIT: Huh, an event I thought I posted isn't on there. I'll go post it.

EDIT2: That was even better than I thought it would be!

Locate or create a map of the surrounding area. Staffing a dungeon is easier if we know what is best to stock it with and if we don't have to summon all of our employees.

"The representative from House Carrospiel has made me an offer in private. For simplicity, I will simply replay what he sent me."
Vinci Carrospiel opens a quick personal link with the leader of the Pra'Grue. "The emperor just nixed shipyards in favor of forgeworlds. Since the fleet wont be able to protect my quadrant for some time, I would like to see that our next forge is hidden on a fledgling colony the Conclave wont know about. Since they wont be going to any shipyards any time soon, would you be willing to consider sending your 3 Psionics to the cluster? The houses of my quadrant are pooling resources, and we could launch colonists right away with your help."

The Oni Frowns. "I could get house Visarian to send you some military specialists, but I doubt you are terribly intrested in those. Would you be willing to send them now, and arrange a payment next quarter after more experts are produced?"

...

I just don't care to distress our dear friends over at the Hyssisian Territory table over the fact that we are putting so many resources into a forge world. Why, I'd half expect their leader to short out in exasperation if he found that psi experts were aiding a cause other than shipyard construction. If you wish to bring this to public channels however, I will not object."
"I believe that such a Forgeworld could help us significantly. However, I would prefer if such an agreement was made in public, and--as with the Psions sent to House Jade Wraith--if I received some form of compensation."

((I've got it! It's...something I won't tell you because Alexandria would deny until the day she used it...))

Probably the biggest reason I haven't posted anything is that I don't get what's going on. Could we make some kind of timeline or something? I see the actions, yes, but it's like taking paragraphs out of a history textbook and making sure they're not with their context.

23063
Here. I just haven't had anything to say.

Worth a shot.

Search her for ID or something. Wonder if we're going about this too literally.

Improbable; I don't think any of the party will be miners once Drak leaves.

I'll reserve an expert as well, if there's an expert to reserve.

"I believe that such an arrangement would be ideal. I would be willing to use Plug for that cause."

Invent new recipe: At the end of the day or when people leave, pour their leftover allegedly-expired alcholic beverage into an empty barrel. Sell this disgusting crap beverage (Shark Bile?) (Grogfish?) for dirt cheap prices for the dedicated-yet-cheap alcoholics. Waste not, want not.
