In the wake of the triumphant return of the four Elder Gods, in the eventful year 381 after the Coming of Estarra, much rejoicing and celebration took place among the organisations of the Basin and in the Divine Havens alike. Serenwilde welcomed the Silver Goddess with joy and relief, their fervent prayers full of longing…

What do you do when you take on the task of coming up with an event that will release four deities? At first, my answer was to sit immobile in front of the computer screen for a solid five minutes. Then, I let the slow, creeping paralysis of idea overload take me over until I…

Alerted by screams of agony bellowing out of the village Delport, the mortals of the Basin rushed to investigate, only to find the village mostly filled with hideous abominations, shadows of the villagers they once were.

When you take on a role larger than yourself, one where multiple very talented players have added the cumulative weight of experience and history over the course of Lusternia’s operating history, it’s hard to fill their shoes. So the best way to do that,…

When I was but a wee mortal growing up on the winding thoroughfares of [DATA REDACTED], one of the (admittedly many, many) aspects of Lusternia which most caught my interest was just how human the Divine were.

In the wake of the Ascension of Karlach Stormcrow, the Glomdoring was disturbed by a tiny visitor – the previously unknown Averi Nightshade. Emerging without fanfare from the shadows themselves, she demanded their help to aid the Wyrd. When asked of her purpose, she spoke only of one who slept, whose was as the Wyrd…
