A Note from Mage Janus

To the People of the Realms:

As some of you may have heard, during the tournament at New Verai on the 10th, Nadia Cooke made an appearance.  She led an attack to recover a Bane Sword that was stolen from her.  After several spells being cast, we finally figured out what occurred and why.  It appears this is not the Nadia Cooke that was previously killed, but one from a reality where Jonas died in her place.  It appears that the Nadia Cooke from another reality, who I will refer to herein as the ‘Shadow Queen’ had her Bane sword stolen from her, and the Shadow Queen and her Shades simply chased the thief through a portal to recover her property.

We do not have too much information on the group that stole the blade from The Shadow Queen, or their overall goals, but after speaking with Chronos as well as interrogating the spirit of the one who stole the Bane Blade we were able to discover a few things.  First and foremost, this group is a threat to The Realms.  Next, the group seems fond of travelling between alternate realities, the one time we saw it was through a giant silvery portal.  If this group is left unchecked, all realities may become one.  I am not sure if this is a side effect or their final goal.  Finally, the least important information: the spirit we spoke with seemed to have a slight hiss in its speech pattern.  That is all we have discovered so far.

What does this mean for you?  Spread the information through your people.  Be ready to fight already vanquished foes once more.  Carry tools that were helpful in the past, as well as try to brush up your knowledge on how things have happened in the past.  You never know when finding the discrepancy will help us figure out what is going on.
