    • RE: What year is it?

      Hi everyone. I haven't been able to post very much because of school and such, but I decided to visit. Although I can't really answer your question Rogan, I hope this helps.

      The years in Cythera were measured since their arrival. The only reference of time to the period during which they lived on the island Thera I could find was "Pre-Cytheric Times".

      I believe they marked the year of their arrival on Cythera as 0 A.T. and Cademia was founded on their fifth year, 5 A.T. This was also the time that one of the priests was made the First Tyrant who had absolute power. This first tyrant seems to have been a benevolent and just ruler.

      The first tyrant died in 79 A.T. and was replaced by the Second Tyrant who ruled from 79 A.T. to 160 A.T. This Tyrant was much more ruthless and paranoid. Important things to note during this time frame was the Exile of the Mages and the Foundingof Pnyx.

      It was during the period of the Third and final tyrant(160-216 A.T.) that the city of Abydos was mysteriously destroyed. Also, the Cult of Scylla rose and was destroyed during this time.

      Alaric made his appearance in 216 A.T. and killed the tyrant. In the year 219 A.T, Alaric brings back the mages and the current system of government is created. Later in 303 A.T. Kosha is founded.

      The game seems to take place around or after the year 901 A.T., but probably not before..

      I hope that provides some reference points for you to use. I really can't remember any of the TSes I've been in and don't know any of the recent ones so I can't really give you specific information that I know would help you.
      I do have some more specifics that I could give you if you would like to know more.

    • RE: Cythera/Ultima Relations

      Just dropping by... 🙂

      Yes, the Cythera graphics do look a lot like the Ultima Online graphics. At least the Ultima Online I played, I don't know what they've done with it now.

      Hrm..
      I always thought that the health ring recharged just as fast as poison drained.
      Of course, it's been a long time since I've played Cythera.

    • RE: Journey to Auracti (TS)

      Feeling a new presence pass infront of his newly chosen cabin(Second from top on the top level) - although it had been several hours since he had moved here after seeing that the man named Rhal didn't seem to enjoy his being in the same cabin - he quickly awoke from his trance. At first it was more to not be caught off guard if that person was to be an enemy, but realizing that he was in the underwater vessel and was quite far from danger - at the moment anyway - he quickly relaxed and went out to see who the newcomer was, although technically, he was the newcomer.
      "Hello. Me is Shiroko," he said, remembering the success he had using that phrase.
      "Oh," said Talm and Moonshadow together, startled at the sudden appearance of a man they were not yet quite familiar with. No, well, young man. He seemed to be still quite young, even for a human being barely out of his teens.
      "Hello, Shiroko," said Talm, at first trying to remember the new name,"this is Moonshadow, a companion that I have been through a lot with, and she will be joining us for our little adventure."
      After exchanging a couple words, Talm said,"Come, I was just about to show Moonshadow to the galley. Why don't you join us? After all, we don't know how long we will be travelling together, and we might as well start the adventure knowing eachother."
      And with that, the three started to make there way down to the galley.

    • RE: No New Chronicles 5/14

      Hrm.. I guess I should consider writing up the second chapter to my story, "The War of Corruption". I wrote in times when the chronicle wasn't being used and - though however pitiful - it was the first story in the chronicles. Now that the chronicles seems to have fallen behind a bit, maybe it is time for it to re-emerge?
      The only problem is that it has been so long since I first wrote it, I've completely forgotten the concepts and ideas I had planned for it.

      Oh, and BTW, I remember GameFanatic(he doesn't seem to be around here anymore, does he?) said that he wrote and submitted a follow up to my story. I told the mods that I was okay with it, but I never saw it appear in the chronicles and was hoping if somebody still had it.

    • RE: Journey to Auracti (TS)

      Shiroko, feeling that the strange armor clad man must not be very friendly, went down to the next cabin. It seemed as one or two people had already settled in here, but none were present. He sat down on the bunk in the middle which seemed to be empty, and slowly closed his eyes and murmured "Shinisokonau", falling into a deep, refreshing trance.
      He had not slept or rested for several days, trying to explore the new strange land and always returning to his people, who - though they did not like it or were accustomed to it - were hiding in one of the several caves found in the mountain range, close to where they first arrived. He longed to have his eagle companion with him, but could not bring him considering this would be a underwater expedition.
      Completely oblivious that this strange contraption that would bring such wonders and horrors was receiving it's name, Shiroko remained as if set in stone, waiting for the adventure to begin.

    • RE: Journey to Auracti (TS)

      Silently, Shiroko walked into the strange vessel. At first he thought that the strange design was due to lack of skill in ship-making, but soon he saw that this was a very advanced ship and guessed that it was made to go underwater - a thought that chilled him to the bone at first.

      In the first room he came into he saw someone that looked like he was in charge, or atleast of some importance. Trying to summon the language that had been telepathically given to him in the tavern, he approached the man.

      "Hello," he said,"am I Shiroko(I am Shiroko)."

      Talm stared at the stranger with a puzzled expression. Seeing that he must have gotten his word's mixed up Shiroko tried again.

      "I is Shiroko."

      This was obviously enough for Talm to understand what he meant.

      "Ah.. yes. Welcome Shiroko to our ship, and maybe our little adventure here," he said, "I have heard vague rumors of a strange new people arriving in our land and have been wanting to meet one of your people, but as you can see we have been a bit busy preparing for our journey."

      This time it was Shiroko who had to stare with a quizzical expression.

      "I not know," he said.

      After Talm had repeated his sentence again, a bit more slowly, Shiroko smiled at having understood what seemed to him a long passage.

      "My services, give you," he said.

      Talm, having gotten a bit used to this, smiled and said, "Of course, we'd love to have you aboard. You can go ahead and choose a cabin, or if you wish, return and gather some gear and hurry back here."

      Shiroko smiled and gave a small respectful bow and head on out the hatch, obviously with intentions to return shortly.

    • RE: Journey to Auracti (TS)

      Shiroko quietly made his way toward the dock. He watched as several people started loading what looked like supplies onto a strange boat partly submerged in the calm waters of the surrounding sea.

      'An adventure perhaps?' he thought to himself.

      He started debating with himself whether to go or not, and if he should decide to go, if it would be necessary to go and tell his leader.

      OoC bah.. I can't even remember my own characters 😛
      BiC

      While he was deep in thought(although, in fact, he was longing to join) he was startled by a large man clad in armor, that looked awfully like a warlord his people had fought, walk towards the strange boat with people carrying fine furniture.

      'Not an adventure, it must be a trade expedition,' he thought and started to walk away.

      When he turned around, he was suddenly faced with an old man. A quick glance told him that this indeed was a very old man, if he could be called a man. He looked very tired, but yet, seemed to generate a aura of power and strength. Shiroko quickly bowed in respect as was customary in his land.

      "Leaving so soon?" said the man, the very old man,"I'm sure Talm would be glad to have you onboard," the old man smiled welcomingly and pointed towards the ship.

      Shiroko hesitated for a moment, more to translate this newly learned language than from surprise, and said, "I am sorry, but my leader wouldn't want me to leave our people for some... trading expedition," he said, "I should leave now," and with that, he started to leave... but stopped when the old man chuckled, "Trade Expedition, eh? Talm would never use the Solar Shard for such things. I think you should go in and meet him, and find out what this is really about." With that the old man left Shiroko alone to wonder.

      After thinking for awhile, a very short while, Shiroko made up his mind and started to walk toward the ship.

      OoC
      Well, forgive me if some of my character references were incorrect. It's been a while since I've been in any TSes so I'm unfamiliar with most of the characters. The armor clad man was Rahl and the old man was Lindus(Although while writing it I thought it was Alaric 😛 )
