Asherons Call: Marae Lassel, Under Attack by the Olthoi Queen!

No, not in her lair, but Red Spire and Timaru! Explorer Antius Blackmoor led the expedition to save the island as reported by Circeus:

[i]I have spent much of my time in this dream fugue wondering about my place in the grand scheme. Not that such things do not normally occupy my thoughts, but never before has a dream so vividly painted the world I have come to know in so much a torrent of despair beyond that which it regularly experiences.

Promises of power beyond some of our imaginations dances before our eyes, and we accept it so willingly and oft with glee -- without trying to discern why we are all in this nightmare together conscious of each others actions. Or why the two of the greatest powers that we know have sworn to battle before my dream ends.

Asking us to take sides. How absurd. To actually have to pick between the demon and the demonized. Instead, I have chosen as my grandfather taught me -- to always protect the land above all else. I have chosen to stand in the light and lay waste to those who would destroy my home.

If only poor Antius hadn't died along the way. I do hope the dream does not map into reality...
