Posted to uoherald.com:  BNN: Military Arrives In Moonglow Military Arrives in Moonglow Draconi Apr 3 2008 9:08AM Early this morning a blockade of cannons was erected around the crater in southern Moonglow. Captain Avery, himself on scene, tersely ordered our correspondents back and had little to say directly to us. However, contrary to expectations, the military is not stopping ordinary (albeit well-armed) citizens from entering the rift! Despite refusals to comment on the situation, the BNN has been asked to publish a short declaration from the Royal Britannian Guard, which follows: Attention citizens of Moonglow, the greater Britannian kingdom, and visitors. A state of emergency has been declared in the township of Moonglow, currently under attack by forces unknown. We do not advise volunteerism in the city’s defense, but under these incredible circumstances we will not interfere with attempts to enter the rift we are now guarding. A medical station is already under construction. All contact with entities within the rift should be met with extreme prejudice. Experience has shown that nothing within has attempted any form of communication – only vicious attacks resulting in numerous deaths. Please report any and all information gathered to myself, Captain Avery. The BNN also regrets to inform our readers that we’ve confirmed the death of Kronos, leader of the blackrock detector project. Dexter, his field apprentice, disappeared shortly after returning to Moonglow from the rift with master mage Sutek, who arrived at the scene after the disaster. The fate of Melissa, friend and fellow mage of the local council, is currently unknown. We will continue informing our readership about this calamity as details pour in.

BNN: Blackrock Detector Fails! Mages Reported Missing! Jeremy Dalberg
26 Oct 2007 12:38:43 EST Blackrock Detector Fails! Mages Reported Missing! Draconi Apr 2 2008 8:24AM Events took a terrifying turn in Moonglow this weekend as Kronos, Director of Alchemical Studies, turned on his blackrock detecting machine for the second, and apparently, very last time. Witnesses reported a keening, rushing sound enveloping the crowd amidst magical flares, when suddenly those standing closest to the machine disappeared in a flare of light! The remaining onlookers had only a moment’s warning before an explosion ripped through the machine itself, leaving a gaping hole where hundreds had gathered just seconds before. Our own reporter vanished in the initial chaos, leaving the BNN with little to go on for hours as a much more apprehensive crowd began gathering around the smoldering crater. Their wait wasn’t in vain, however, when after a while a moongate, as dark as night, opened at the base of the crater. Frenzied survivors began pouring out of the portal; screams for healers and aid rang up over the ridges as they clambered up the sides. Against all reason more jumped back into the darkness, but the BNN was already confirming details on what lay beyond with our own correspondent. We know for certain that the place beyond the rift resembles our own Moonglow, yet is infested with hordes of demonic entities. We also know that one or more of the mages working on the project, Kronos, Melissa, and Dexter, were killed within. The others, if any survive, are missing. The rift apparently leads not to a “place” so much as a “when.” The local mages are struggling to explain this phenomenon, but claim that the rift is bound to the failure of the experiment the previous day, and has captured some slice of time in which the good people of Moonglow were trapped. The BNN is also attempting to corroborate reports that some sort of battle took place within the so-called “timerift” between the Time Lord, and other beings of extraordinary power. We’ve also received word that the military is sending reinforcements to secure the perimeter of the gate. We urge our readers to be wary of the rift, and not enter it under any circumstances!

This new chapter has appeared on uoherald.com's BNN news site: Blackrock Detector To Be Unveiled!
Anderson the Scribe
Mar 27 2008 4:20PM “After initially losing funding from the Mage’s Council in Moonglow, progress on the "blackrock detection machine" resumed late last month with government intervention, and is finally nearing completion. Despite fears of the dangers involved in working with the still-mysterious substance, officials agree on the necessity of knowing where it is. Captain Avery, of the militia, made the following statement: "After the destruction of Haven, we are taking any activity involving blackrock extremely seriously. After thorough and careful review, the Royal Council has agreed to authorize the completion and use of the blackrock detector to ensure the continued safety of Britannia." The mage Kronos, Director of Alchemical Studies and the chief mage on the project, was unavailable for comment. His apprentice Dexter assured the BNN that, despite the delays, work on the project is going smoothly and they do not expect any snags.

| From our Friends at UOGuide Greetings all. UOGuide has been chugging along for the past year quite steadily. Just last week we added our 1,500th page of information. That is a lot of data! UOGuide is now the 2nd largest UO information site for English speaking players. There are two new sections I think many people will be interested in. Doom - With the new Gauntlet changes many people are rushing back, some for the first time in years (such as myself). Perhaps some will need a refresher was to which slayer is used on each monster. Rubble - The newest item craze in UO. Players are spending hundreds of millions of gold to acquire this stuff. Find out how much of each item exists and the estimated worth. This section will be updated more in the coming weeks so keep checking back. UOGuide is constantly being updated and is looking for new contributors all the time. JC the Builder UOGuide |

| BNN: Magincia Still Not Safe, Mages Warn | |

This new chapter has appeared on uoherald.com BNN: Magincia Still Not Safe, Mages Warn Jeremy Dalberg
30 Nov 2007 19:54:37 The battle for Magincia seems to have reached a stalemate. Most of the city is shattered, and looting has been regrettably prevalent, but the stalwart defenders of the city continue to push back the invading hordes. However, all is not well, say the leading researchers of the Mage Council. "The moongates have been warped into a form they were never intended to hold. The etheric disturbance is tremendous, and we fear that it will get worse before it gets better," warns the Mage Council's spokesman. The Royal Guard has ordered all nonessential personnel off of the island, and is maintaining a minimal force to secure the city. "Daemons - even big daemons - my men can handle," says Sir Brendan of the Royal Guard, officer in charge of Magincia's defenses. "But once the mages start talking 'unstable planar rift' this and 'etheric resonance crisis' that, I get my people out of the area before they get blown clear off the map." Bringing you the latest from Magincia, this is Sherry the Mouse, reporting. |
