Rumors! Yay! I wonder why portal stones have achieved "LEGENDARY" status in BM meme lore. It's probably the most rumor-filled item in the game. No other game feature/mechanic/thing seems to have anywhere close to the same amount of speculation/misconceptions/stuff.

Besides, humans opening portals? Er...well, I suppose...if the Magic level in the region's high enough? ...But no human can see that value...Normally...Probably.

Actually...to my knowledge, that's never happened.

Portal stones are used to close portals, not open them.

I'm pretty sure the idea that they could open portals started on other continents when they started showing up there, and eventually migrated back to BT. But there is nothing that any dev or GM has done (to my knowledge) to encourage this belief. It's purely a player invention.

Back when Vlaanderen was around and Arcane was the ruler, we opened a portal in Zisswii. Didn't really do much though. I guess it gave the daimons in the realm a few more soldiers, but that was about it. However, it still stands that we did open one, or at least gathered all eight stones to open one. Not sure how much game mechanics wise really happened, but Arcane at least roleplayed a portal being opened.

Gilgamesh is the demon that is sealed in the south, that the three factions back in 4th were trying to either awaken or use or...whatever to their own ends. In the north lies the frozen souls of the cursed men whose lives were lost in the ancient war against the daimons.

Ah, but I forgot. 4th Inv lore makes no difference to the continuity of 5th Inv.

Not true. It is considered. However, some of it may be lies, misinformation or fabrication. Just like there is already falsehoods about the 5th flying around that I have no idea where it came from, but it is accepted as fact even though it isn't.

Next Song

Hands of doom are reaching out to crush all infidels who stray
Time to know the pain, no time to run within
And these hands you see before you will end the light of day
Your ashes will be cast into the wind
Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves
Not one of you will be left alive
Hear the sound pounding and the army of the night
By the hammer of Thor you now shall die

Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
Together we'll fight, some of us will die
But we'll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand

We are high atop the mountain, with hammers in the wind
Lusting for blood and death again
In a flash of lightning strike now the house of death invites you
Body and soul to come within
I see the fear you have inside, you can run but never hide
I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb
Nothing shall remain, not your memory, your name
It will be as though you never ever lived

a) It's far from over. I've moved fairly slowly for the past days, and while there are now 3 TOs running, they are all supported by one unit, so they will take quite a few days to complete.

b) My attitude towards the holidays is this: Yes, many people are away, with their families, etc. But just as many people are lonely and happy for everything that doesn't stop and continues to provide them with something to do.

I hear they ignore walls... Oh well, a city's best defense are not the walls but the men behind them. ;)

I imagined flying daimons but never expected to face them ROFL.

Group of Daimons (2) fly towards the defenders

After reading that line I was like wait what?

Then this happened...

Group of Daimons (2) charge ahead, into the defenders' ranks.

Christ. They fly and charge at the same time. Flying cavalries....

Be happy that they don't do strafings and fly-by-shootings or I'll code those. ;-)
