"What a world... Perhaps we shall never know. But as I have sympathy for you, and the melancholy fate of all mortals, I shall weep for your death."

- Dagoth Ur

Wiki news

 * Just a reminder to all users that you are free to apply for a staff position if you are interested in taking up the role of either a patroller,  Forum mod , or  chat mod , assuming you meet the prerequisites listed on the individual project pages. I would recommend you speak to an  admin  about this before applying in order to learn more about what the position entails.
 * Also note that the moot is coming up the Saturday after next, on August 5th at 4:00pm EDT in the Chat. I have a couple topics, as do a few other users; I hope to see you all there!
