in the game.
New Stuff
The Sporades campaign has ended. In its place has arisen Chimera, a D&D
3E game set firmly on Oerth, in the Flanaess. What will become of the machinations
of Ice, the transport rings of Kule, the nascent Inhuman War, the fears
of Admiral Galawyn, or the Horn remains to be seen, but may yet impact
the hapless beings of Oerth...

The Story
This description of what has come before in the campaign is meant to
more useful than artful. I am just going off my post-session notes, describing
what player characters might know or think. OY refers to Oeridian Year,
the standard reckoning in Greyspace. The calendar used is the standard
for the Flanaess, described below. RL refers to the real life date of the
session. I hardly need to remind players that if your character was not
there and if the characters that were there have not told you about it,
then you do not know about it.
Calendar: All fest months are 7 day long festivals. All other
months are 28 days long. You can probably guess from the names when the
seasons occur. The days of the week are, in order: Starday, Sunday, Moonday,
Godsday, Waterday, Earthday, and Freeday.
