Well, we've had a few months of mysterious statues, strange prophecies,
and political turmoil, and to be completely honest, I've been
inspired by it. Not only did I manage to win the prestigious title
of "World's stupidest Prophet", but I also jotted down an article
describing the five most common mistakes made by ameteur prophets.
I also managed to get the rights to the Butterfly Wars, and will
publish the first part in this volume.
Finally, I will debut our action packed "Rumours" section, which
will give completely irrelevant, incorrect, and possibly illegal
information on some of Achaea's more prominent figures. Most
particularly Skarash, star of my soon-to-be-released epic, "The
Skarash Saga".

Feature Article: The 5 most common mistakes made by Amateur Prophets
Having recently been named a prophet by Averroes (The rumours that
I won the title in a drinking competition are completely false, see
the rumours section for more information) I set out on pilgrimages,
journies, quests, and generic adventures, in which I met many of the
more bizzare inhabitants of this fine land. However, on the way, I
happened to make one or two, or perhaps five or ten, minor mistakes.
Here are the five classified as "Most Common" simply because they're
the least embarassing for me. Here goes......
5. In an attempt to ingratiate myself to Candlemas with a bit of
harmless flattery, I referred to him as "The smartest man alive".
He wasn't amused.
4. Whilst searching for more information for the rumours coloumn, I
attempted to confirm the alleged love-child between Mhunna and
Lachesis with Lachesis herself. Y'know, I never realised how big
that Guardian Spider really is.
3. While searching Lower Azdun for more information, I had the
bright idea of interrogating the nearest of its inhabitants. After
half an hour of drooling and vacant staring, I concluded that the
zombie wasn't going to break.
2. Back to Lachesis, attempting to lighten the mood by asking "So,
whats with the spiders, anyway? You can't afford a cleaner?"
1. And of course, who could forget my memorable offer to everyone's
favourite Vampire Lord, Zsarachnor, to "Join me for a drink when
all this blows over". He said he'd be delighted.
Now, if any of you ever end up as prophets, I urge you not to make
the same mistakes as I do. Make brand new, completely original
mistakes, and MSG me all the information, and I'll publish an
article on you instead. Now, before I head on to the History
Section, I'd like to point out that I'm currently conducting a
professional prophetisising (is that a word?) business for a mere
500 gold per session.

Now, stay tuned to this board, the next public post will feature
the epic "Butterfly Wars of 218, Part 1" along with our vicious
rumours section, which includes several unpaid advertisements
for shops that I fully expect to give me a cut of the profits.
