 <br><br>Kobo smiled once again. "I do not know -- they contact me when the mood suits them. They ask that we work together to seek them out."</i>
 <br>Dereth's heroes have destroyed the Great Work, an artifact created by undead necromancers to drain the heat from the world. As a result, the snow has retreated to higher elevations, along with the enchanted snowmen, but grave new perils are stalking out to confront adventurers. Thankfully, new magic robes have been created just in time to address these threats. We urge you to avail yourselves of the robes and any other magical adjuncts and join forces. No one knows what these hostile new creatures may ultimately portend.

	<br><br>Stories are nothing without compelling characters; our goal is to tell great stories, collaboratively, with our players as the most important and compelling characters around. More than the technology, more than the game systems that measure when I've moved from level 5 to level 6 (cut me some slack, I just started a new character!) -- it's this collaborative storytelling that gets me jazzed about Asheron's Call.		<br><br>Stories are nothing without compelling characters; our goal is to tell great stories, collaboratively, with our players as the most important and compelling characters around.

	*How do we find more ways to involve large groups in an event? Our “Fire in the Sky” Beta-event encouraged large groups to scour the landscape in search of fragments of a prophecy; how can we extend that sort of behavior to encompass entire allegiances?		*How do we find more ways to involve large groups in an event?

	*How do we balance specific quests in specific locations with new content (items, clothing, spells, new monster-encounters) for everyone? The former is great for communicating stories, but the latter affects more players across the board.		*How do we balance specific quests in specific locations with new content (items, clothing, spells, new monster-encounters) for everyone?
