I found this OLD copy of The Radasanthian Reader, thought it had been long gone. This is what we used to be -- anyone that would like to help grow the paper is always welcome!

Anebrilith Hunter’s Challenge Reopened

W. J. Pullhearst

Elralad Calil-Galdur, Onedrinydd of the Scholar Monks of Ai’Bron, announced days ago that the Anebrilith Hunter’s Challenge has been started again. It was only one or two days after his announcement that it was postponed. He spoke from a balcony in Anebrilith, and appeared very rattled and shaken.

“We apologize for the instability these actions are causing, and we assure you that the Scholar Monks of Ai’Bron bear no responsibility for the actions.” At this point, he looked upwards, and said, “We can only imagine that the gods themselves are toying with us.”

A disgruntled citizen of Anebrilith was heard afterward, saying, “He’d better hope the Gods don’t leave him alive, because he’ll like the way I toy with him a whole lot less.”

Due to threats like these, the Onedrinydd are reported to have taken security precautions, and all members of their council now travel in pairs, with at least two bodyguards.

Adventurer’s Club Disbands

W. J. Pullhearst

Closely following on the heels of the Purifier’s recent dispersal is the loss of another group near and dear to the hearts of many a citizen in Radasanth. The Adventurer’s Club, a group co-founded by Andrew Pendleton Lueni and Aremelwen Mass to improve the skill of its members via quests and special events, was recently declared disbanded. Lueni delivered the announcement.

Many members of the Althanas public greeted this with great sadness, having become used to seeing adventurers in and around their city. However, some merely shook their heads with resignation. “We knew it would happen someday,” said one housewife and mother of seven. “The adventurers used to come play with my kids, but they didn’t anymore. I guess they’re suffering from what we all suffer from – apathy.”

Despite this announcement, however, Adventurer’s Club insiders say that it may not last. Many say that Aremelwen Mass disapproves of the move. Although Mass was unavailable for comment, many have indicated that she may put her foot down and refuse to allow her co-owned group to disband.

For now, however, Radasanth will miss the Adventurer’s Club.


Interview with Santh Til’Garos

Few figures in Althanas are more enigmatic and reclusive than Santh Til'Garos. Known only as the "General of the Elvestin," Til'Garos has long been considered a shady figure, even if his dealings are on the level. Upon hearing this, our interest was piqued. We sent our very own W. J. Pullhearst to speak with Til'Garos, and W. J. had this to say: "I'm afraid this interview is insane. Til'Garos left us with more questions than answers."

1. The Radasanthian Reader: You're known as the General of the Elvestin. Could you give our readers some information on this group?
Santh Til’Garos: The Elvestin are actually a secret group of whatchamacallits, that live somewhere in Radasanthia, and generally do some things that will help some people in some area live a better life.
2. TRR: Ah, so in other words the word is mum! Are the Elvestin made up of Elves, or do they accept members of other races?
STG: Our number is made up of Elves only, but I'm sure if there are any beautiful women that are out there...grrowwl..... (rustles hair) we could make an exception of sorts.
3. TRR: Hah, I'm sure they'll appreciate the offer. It's been rumored that you led the attack on Serenti about a year ago. Any word on why?
STG: Well, it wasn't really an attack...let us just say that I went there all alone, and came back with a few gorgeous ladies and a real stud. What that stud just happens to be, I'll leave that up to your imagination.
4. TRR: Interesting. Can you give us a little bit of information as to when the Elvestin were founded?
STG: Well let me think about it for a sec. I'm thinking....still thinking....kind of thinking......I forgot. No wait! I remember. It was nearly 515 years ago, and we were founded by the great Xeritan!
5. TRR: And who would this great Xeritan be?
STG: He was the original founder of the Elvestin, jabroni! I just told you that. He was from the homeland. But after some court politics, he migrated over here, to the island. I wasn't born yet when he came, but my parents said he was a great man. His son is a Lieutenant of mine.
6. TRR: Fascinating. Do the Elvestin have any plans in the works that it would be okay to tell the general populace about?
STG: Well, we've never had anything to tell the general populace. What we do is in their best interest though, I can assure you. The fact that I've let you here, to talk to me, in my private abode, is about the most media coverage we've had, well, since we were founded.
7. TRR: Rumors have been heard recently of a small, select group of Elves operating out of a base in Raiaera. Do you know anything about this group?
STG: Whoa, whoa, hold on a second here. There are Elves in Raiaera? Really? Who was the brilliant thinker that hypothesized that there are small, select groups of Elves in Raiaera?
8. TRR: I’ll take that as an admission of ignorance. Anyway, that’s all the time we have. Thanks for being willing to share a little bit of yourself and your group with our readers.
STG: You're perfectly welcome. Now amscram!


Did You Hear?

By Moe Wordsthanu

With another week come three new articles of juicy gossip. Our first story is about a little demon war that took place in Salvar, lead by the former demon Ziegfried. This demon, doing the do-gooders job, raided four demon outposts, each guarded by a general of his former master. For this task, Ziegfried enlisted the likes of Eleric Aduro, Zephrys Lightblade, Leona Stevvains, and even the demon-man Frame. All in all, it was quite the odd juxtaposition of allies.

Lets talk about some mystic news now. People have seen Ryoki Nishoba, former love interest of Sei Orlouge, with his childhood friend, Kylin Rouge. There has to be something big for these two to talk with one another and not have Sei involved. Perhaps there is a secret plot invested within the two of them to kill the self-proclaimed ‘Protector of Radasanthia’. I wouldn’t blame them, Radasanthia has enough would-be ‘heroes’ trying to do right all the time, what’s one less?

Finally, The Adventurer’s Club has finally disbanded, as order of its only remaining leader, Pin. Just their luck, they get a war declared on their posteriors by The Bandit Brotherhood! It seemed as though the days of old are coming to an end, what with The Purifiers gone, Adventurers no more, and Façade ushering in a new era from the Ice Reavers. What else is to happen in the Power Groups of Althanas? What other conspiracies could be made?

Well, it’s about time that I end this article. I guess you won’t know anything about your favorite Althanas names without my word until next week. Until then, Moe Wordsthanu retiring for the day!
