The Realms has been a project of mine for MANY years now and I just have not had any time the last few years to do any type of work on the Site to my, and I assume all of you who visit, great sorrow.  I have now gotten to the point in all of my paying work that I am soon going to be able to dedicate some quality time to the development of The Realms once again and bring many new things either online, or back online in the case of the Card Shoppe.  I have someone who has volunteered to do some in-depth development work for the Coven section and I have some volunteers who wish to make contributions in other sections.  So please be a wee bit patient with us as we get the Dwarves in gear again (sober them up from all their partying - chuckle) and get construction tasks started here once again.

We Welcomen all ye who enter this realm!

Ah, thou art weary from thy long travels and quests in the vasty realms of the World Wide Web and we are humbly pleased that thou hast sought us out.  Within this realm be pleased to find the most complete collection of gathered works of Artisans, Troubadours, LoreMasters, Bards, and Scribes available in all of the realms. Ye will also find many other resources which we have gathered in our many great adventures into realms outside of our own. We muchly hope this repository of information and knowledge will please ye and that, being pleased, ye will return.

This already has been, and will continue to be, a very tedious and long journey. Our questors have ventured into many hidden, and not so hidden, vaults, tombs and libraries to gather together what we now present to ye. In this gathering we have had to make many alliances and bargains in order to carry these works hither.  We would humbly beseech ye to read and consider our Advocate's words of caution before perusing any of the works contained in this repository.

We are negotiating with our builders, builders mates (sometimes these dwarves can be very stubborn) and diverse artisans about the current blueprints as well as the prints for future expansions.  As we close negotiations and finish construction on the different areas we will open them to all of our visitors.  We have hired many clans of dwarves but they are meticulous in their work, so some areas may take longer than others. We request thy patience with us during this initial construction. As the main areas of the Realms are completed, we will then start construction on other areas which will be based on our visitors' wise counsels as well as our questors' findings as they search the outside realms ever further afield.

Ye must tire of these ramblings, but there are some things that must be said to all who seek hospitality within these Realms. We hope that ye will take a few moments while you are here in our Realm to sign our Visitors' Annals. We would suggest that ye visit the Town Crier if this is your first quest in the realms in order that ye may become familiar with all that is within.  Please return often to view our progress, proffer suggestions and, if you feel generous, to contribute to this Quest. And may your questing within our Realm be successful.

And, if ye have knowledge of a hidden, buried or little known tome or treasure, then we crave that ye share this knowledge with us that we may share it with others.  Click the hardworking scribe below and he will ensure that a message gets to the gatekeeper.

  Your Humble Hosts
