THE KLYROS
by Raikana
This saturday is time for the Klyros Cultural Day, organized by Mekora of the Klyros Junction. I decided to make this short article about the Klyros in an attempt to let everyone know something more about our race. For this reason I will also be present at the event, distributing a nice book about our language, the "Street o' Bulary of Klyran", to the customers of the paper.
Starting from the fourth epoch, many Klyros passed through the portal reaching Yliakum and not much is known about history Klyros race before their arrival to Yliakum.
The Klyros are a race with a tall, slim body. Their skin is slimy and cold, and varies from grey-green to steel dark blue. They have an oval head decorated with a multicoloured crest starting from the forehead and ends at the base of the skull that make them look like a fish. Their eyes enable them to see in the dark, their hands have sharp and dangerous claws and just under the shoulders they have two big wings. The skeleton is thin and flexible to flight easier, but is easily damaged. Thanks to their body structure, the Klyros are fast in all three elements: air, water and earth.
Klyros are brave hunters, travellers and fighters, and many are rich merchants. They have a talent for fishing deep-water fishes and small underwater monsters. They are interested in decorative arts and magic, using those mainly for practical purposes.
Being great fish hunters they tend to eat a lot of fishes and shellfishes. They are famous for cooking crabs in thousands of ways.
The language spoken by Klyros, the Klyran, has a grammatical structure similar to the Common, although some scholars suggest that in ancient times could have a very complex grammatical structure based on a ideograms communication.
Thanks to their triple nature and their easy adaptability to environmental conditions, the Klyros are basically nomads and react quickly to new situations. The Klyros believe strongly in the concept of brotherhood amongst the other members of their race. Regardless of their appearance, they are not an evil race.
THE LORD OF THE UNDEAD
by Raikana
The first duty of the journalist is to tell the facts regardless of the danger. Despite this, anyone would hesitate facing the possibility of being turned into zombies for the rest of eternity and that's why I hesitated when came the time to write this article; in any case, here I am, and what will be will be.
In the last month there have been several attacks by undeads, against citizens of every rank and class. Caraick, Glaciusor, Earowo, Esalir and many more fought these monsters around the Dome, sometimes destroying them and sometimes coming out seriously injured. For the most part it was undead enkidukais although Ylians have been seen and even Krans, despite their natural resistance to common necromancy.
Apparently the person responsible for this wave of undead would be a xacha called Ditem, a mysterious and powerful necromancer which is dangerous to even mention the name. Now, some expert of history may know this name and if so, would tremble at the memory of a powerful wizard who lived about 300 cycles ago, that was dispatched to Dakkru by the joint efforts of all schools of magic. Most of the information we have about him comes from "Meeting of the Ways," a dusty old book found in the realm of Dakkru, which I had the privilege to read taking note of the most important parts.
The book tells of his birth, which occurred during an eclipse, leading to the death of his mother. When still a child, the drunkard father dies leaving him to care of some priests of Laanx. Thanks to his natural gifts he manipulates the teachers, bringing them to teach him forbidden magic knowledge. After learning all they could teach he disappeared, returning only after 25 cicles.
Now he was powerful and also had several apprentices. He then began to conduct experiments of necromancy, first on monsters and then on sentient beings of every race. Some time passed until all schools of magic, threatened and disgusted by this attitude, they decided to unite against him. After an arduous battle, they managed to rip off the heart of Ditem, sending him to Dakkru with no return because he was deprived of a vital part. The heart was then closed in a wooden box, magically protected and delivered to unsuspecting klyros family, away from Ditem's chest...till now.
At this point in history, the questions would be millions and even more assumptions. As far as we know the box, due to a series of misadventures, ended up in the wrong hands and the heart has returned to its rightful owner. What will happen now?
ELEMENTAL LIGHT MADE IT HAPPEN
by Raikana
Comfortably sitting in the apple orchard next to Harnquist's shop, I had the pleasure of a picnic in the company of the nice sisters Ketta and Sanrai. While enjoying some tasty delicacies I was told about the event held last week, where the "Elemental Light" has brighten the day of the public.
They offered free food samples and drinks in the plaza, explaining the recipes to those who was interested. The recipes included Seasoned Bamboo Rice, Simmered Clacker Meat, Carp Delight and Applesauce among others. It was enjoyable for everybody and afterwards everybody went to enjoy a comedic performance by Ardoin at the Red Crystal Den. However, there are always those that take advantage... two fellows came and began grabbing all the food for themselves but fortunately Perlan and Ylox of Masters of Move stepped in and 'encouraged' them to show some manners, easily solving the situation.
