Wangah Rah sent the following report to TMN:
While on an expedition in the Ethereal Plane, I sensed strong disturbances in the ether. Ethereal winds ripped past me, nearly knocking me over. I sensed the boundary of the planes dissolving in certain areas. This is dire news . . . it seemed that the merging of the planes has begun. The 'Brions have often warned us about the foolish use of the Ethereal Portal Stones. It appears that those who doubted the 'Brions statements of danger to the planes were nai correct.
Soon after these disturbances were detected, Lugubrion emerged. He reported that indeed, the planes had collided. This has happened some place far east, underground. I am unable to sense more, and Lugubrion could not give a more specific location. Please, I urge exiles to examine the passes and even the caves in the Foothills for disturbances. Do not attempt to address any rifts that may be there, but instead alert myself or another ethereal scholar.
Lugubrion warned to cease use of our portal stones, still. He said another collision would happen, and since he knows we won't stop using the stones, realizes that it is inevitable. This merging will ultimately result in the destruction of our plane of existence. I again urge exiles to cease their use of these stones, or limit their use dramatically. Be wise. If yi wish to learn more about this danger, please see me or an ethereal scholar to learn the implications of this.
In hopes we do not soon perish,
-Wangah Rah
PAG portalled out of SC's yesterday.. related? (Far east, underground)

Xepel says, "Near or far from town? There are many caves."
Lugubrion growls, "Far to the east of that."
Lugubrion says, "It is much too late. It is hard to say what will happen there."
Lugubrion says, "The planes may cross entirely, or the Ethereal Plane may recede...or linger."
Trouble is in our future.

Of course. Just walking around, were you?

I think Skirwan is onto something. The problem isn't the sightseeing from Ethereal portals. Excessive beer and a lack of facilities lead people to treat the plane like an Ethereal Port-A-Potty!
Posted by: Bakunan on February 23, 2007 01:56 PMUm... Okay, Bakunan. Go with that.
The real problem is that Wangah Rah is manipulating the ethereal plane and the exiles of Puddleby for reasons as-of-yet unexplained. He has the power to turn people into undine, ethereal storms follow everywhere he goes, and it appears that he has the ability to open ethereal portals from a distance and make them appear to be the work of someone else.
Don't trust him.

Posted by: Wangah Rah on February 23, 2007 06:33 PMPirates don't share power. Do not trust any of them.
Posted by: on February 23, 2007 08:11 PMI am reminded of Tenebrion's story about the Annulus, which in Tenebrion's words:
8/26/04 7:38:58p Tenebrion says, "The Annulus is not a thing that is somewhere."
8/26/04 7:39:14p Tenebrion says, "It is like a day that you live through."
Tenebrion walked through a lot of planes. I wonder if these are somehow related?
