Storm Clouds on the Horizon
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 22807

Castellan, the Great Uniter of the city-state of Vjorica and HighLord of
the Tower of Sorcery, paced about the highest chamber in said tower with

What troubled times are these that I am forced, yet again, to use this stone!? Castellan thought, unsure of whether it was a wise course of action he was taking. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I must seek the answers to my questions from beyond the veils of this reality...Slowly, carefully, Castellan beheld the stone...
