This tale is a work of high fantasy. All characters, guilds, creatures, realms, and events spring from the author’s imagination from playing on the multi-user dungeon Astaria. The author uses them in a wholly fictional manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to real places or histories—mundane or magical—is purely coincidental. No part of this story may be copied, stored, or transmitted by spell, scroll, crystal, or technological means for profit without the express written permission of the author.
