Skaithvarn:
"Bound to be trouble there," Hallie O'Dene said almost cheerfully. She guided
her horse toward the half-hidden tower. "It's too pat to be anything but a trap."
"You've got that right, doll," Raoul agreed. "But it just might be a trap for
sheep. Let's see how it handles some wolves."
"It might be a perfectly innocent tower," Jeri Northwind protested.
"It MIGHT, doll, but I don't think so. It--"
"If it was a 'perfectly innocent' building, whether ruined or whole, I'd have
heard of it," Hallie said. "It's my job to hear of such things. Besides, this isn't
the first time I've been down this road, and I don't recall seeing that tower before.
Maybe--MAYBE I missed it because I didn't need it, but...."
"But it's the kind of thing you would be looking for anyway," Raoul said.
Thunder crashed suddenly. He squinted at the trees.
If there was going to be lightning, the trees might be risky shelter at best.
Of course, riding down a road with nothing nearby as tall as three gladiators on
their horses wouldn't be safe, either. The horses seemed to have their own ideas and
ran in under the trees at the edge of the road, not quite fast enough to avoid the
deluge that suddenly burst from the clouds.
Even the trees didn't provide much shelter from that driving downpour. Raoul
took off his hat and tried to shake the water from it, then shrugged and put it back
on. "Not much choice--risk the tower or drown where we sit." He urged his horse
forward. The light wasn't good now that the rain had closed over them, but he
thought he could see a door of planks weathered to almost the same gray as the
stones.
As they approached, the door moved. Opened into the black interior of the
tower.
"Probably haunted," Hallie muttered. "If we're lucky. If not...well, all the
vampires may not be in Leemith. And there are robbers, and--"
"Oh, stop!" Jeri protested. "At least not robbers--they couldn't have BUILT the
tower since you were here last, could they?"
"If they had a wizard--"
A figure appeared in the doorway. Between the rain and the shadow of the trees
now, it was little more than a pale, moving shape until they got close. Too close
now to flee, if they had to and he was any kind of wizard.
An old man, Raoul saw, but not bent or shriveled with his age. Tall, lean as a
bone, with a narrow, hawk's face, hair more gray than red, wearing a simple robe of
natural-colored wool. He made a gesture that was half an offer of shelter, half a
command that they enter.
"Come out of the rain," he said. His voice was deep and cold, and he spoke
Fratsfan with a slight accent like none that Raoul had ever heard before. He stepped
toward the doorway ahead of them. "I have a great aversion to becoming wet."
After a brief hesitation, Raoul dismounted and moved forward, leading his horse.
"We didn't expect to find a shelter along this stretch of the coast," he said,
shaking what rain he could from his clothes before entering. The room within was
circular and large, filling the whole base of the tower. A fire burned on a hearth
to one side. It looked like the part near the door had been used to stable horses
before, and recently.
"This tower has been here a long time," the man said. He turned back at the
fireplace and watched the women enter behind Raoul. "But it has not always been...
visible."
"You're a wizard," Hallie said.
It wasn't a question, but the man bowed his head slightly. "Perhaps the
greatest. I am Kaldrehn of Krael."
One of the women drew a breath in shock; Raoul didn't look back to see which
one. He didn't want to turn his back on this man. "It figures that a great wizard
wouldn't have been caught in the destruction of Krael," he agreed. "But I'm
surprised I haven't heard of you before. You don't have the look of a recluse."
Kaldrehn laughed. "And so I am not." His gaze shifted from Raoul to look
past--at the women, probably. "Not at all a recluse. Nor a man to endure the tedium
of the dark centuries between the fall of Krael and the present, if it could be
avoided. A man with skill enough can move behind time from one era to another, as he
wills." His smile was not reassuring. "As I willed."
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Andorians Abroad #22 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
Skaithvarn:
Raoul didn't much like this Kaldrehn, or trust him at all, but there was nothing
he could do right then. And many people, especially wizards, were arrogant and self-
centered without necessarily being bad citizens. Well, amend that to "most wizards
were arrogant and self-centered, and SOME of them were not bad citizens...."
"So having escaped the destruction of Krael, you're going to settle down to a
meditative life in Skaithvarn?" Hallie O'Dene asked.
The Kraelian laughed with genuine amusement. "Do I look like a man for the
meditative life?" His gaze went around the inside of the tower, and his lip curled
in scorn. "This is a way station, nothing more. As I was the adviser and kingmaker
in Krael, so shall I be in the world that now is."
"Krael is drowned--" Jeri began.
The wizard shrugged. "There are other kingdoms. The current one in that area
is now called Andoria, is it not?" He looked toward a shadowy stretch of wall where
a crude table stood; there was a thick black book on it. "I shall rule Andoria in
all but name...."
Raoul looked at the book, too, and groaned inwardly. That would be the one
Peranis had stolen, the infamous Black Book in which the never-to-be-sufficiently-
damned Assassins' Guild had recorded all the secrets it could find that would allow
powerful Andorians, nobles and rich merchants and military figures, to be blackmailed
or coerced. With that book, a clever man COULD rule Andoria...at least for a while.
They would have to get it away from Kaldrehn and destroy it.
But on the positive side, it would no longer be necessary to visit the vampire
city of Leemith. And there was only one of Kaldrehn, whereas Hallie had told them
there were thousands of vampires in Leemith.
"Not every powerful man in Andoria is corrupt!" Jeri burst out. "That's just a
small fraction of--"
"There will be enough," Kaldrehn said calmly. "You would be surprised how few
points of pressure it takes to control a kingdom! And I am well skilled in that
art." The wizard crossed to the doorway and looked out.
Raoul's hand twitched toward his sword, then was still. He didn't like to stab
a man in the back, even one who deserved it as much as the Kaldrehn seemed to. But
he wasn't fool enough even to try against a wizard powerful enough to have moved
through time. The man probably had eyes in the back of his head, and short way with
would-be assassins. At least it seemed likely that Peranis had got all that was
coming to him.
"As soon as this storm ends," Kaldrehn said, "I will cross to Andoria. You
three will be my guides and servants. For now. But soon I must form my own coterie
of agents.... That should not be difficult, there are always, in EVERY land, those
who desire a measure of power and wealth, or revenge on the mighty, or simply someone
to lead them."
Raoul's face tightened. That was true, he knew. Not all greedy men were
Delarquan, just as there were honorable men who were not Andorian. He would get word
to King Mickeal as quickly as he could. And then he would form his own coterie to
contend against the Kraelians.
Call for volunteers, good guys and bad. A personal to Scribe or an email to
Livia@reality.com will do the trick.

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, FRATSFA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, FLOWER GIRLS, since ASSASSIN
NATION took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. ASSASSIN NATION
turned their 5-0-0 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better
than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to
see TORMENT win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MUTILATE beat TEALIN
SALI and TEALIN SALI lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is
the spice of life, FRATSFA may be getting bland, as RED EYE stays top dog in the
city. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do
they get this stuff? From FRATSFA's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. MIDDLE WAY 8, I suppose you'll be glad to know you
were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And
it looks like FLOWER GIRLS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph. TEALIN SALI was challenged more times this turn than
the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in FRATSFA to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of FRATSFA. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

Greetings! I would like to invite everyone to Jhans (DM 36) for the first annual kLk
St. Valentine's Day Massacre (kill contest). We will start the contest off with the
ceremonial burning of the Andorian flag on turn 450. (Six turns away. Roughly mid-
February.) The contest will run for 10 turns. On turn 461, 3 separate victors will
be announced. Team with the most kills, warrior with the most kills, and alliance
with the most kills. Prizes will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most
kills and to the manager of the warrior with the most kills. The prizes will
probably be team roll-ups. The number of roll-ups has yet to be determined. The
contest is sponsored by Jhans' newest, (but by the time the contest starts) largest
alliance, the kLk (pronounced "klick"). -- Polarius, mgr. of Blitzkrieg DM 36

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
