THE WAR RAGES ON!

Anyone who knows me and my posts in these design notes often knows that I am the bearer of evil news. Usually this brings me a great deal of joy because i'm the one being evil, and usually it's all in good fun.

This time, however, knowing the stakes of this war, I'm more than a little worried. The balance of elemental powers in LORE has started slipping from our grasp. The attacks on the cities all over LORE are intensifying, and if we heroes don't step up our defense, we're likely to be facing the threat of multiple fronts, fighting the raging fire monsters, driven mad by their increasing power, on mutiple sides.

Will we be able to correct the imbalance of the Elements and put fire back into balance with the world? We must not look that far into the future. Before we can discover the source, we need to hold out against the flames that threaten to scorch the very earth beneth our feet. We need to survive this onslaught.

So pick up arms and join me in defending our homelands from the flames.
