Howdy gang - just a reminder that the next game is tomorrow, Monday the 6th. We will start at 7 pm. Feel free to show up anytime after 6 pm. Bring your own food and your characters.

Here is the myth of Tarahelera and Niskis - you will be performing a magical ritual this session to reenact this myth. You will need to figure out who will be cast as what in the ritual - many characters will just be helpers of the hero.

THE SEDUCTION OF TARAHELERA
Tarahelera the Blue Woman is a lovely and desired Water goddess whose gentle rains bring fertility. She was one of the many Water gods that followed in the wake of the invasion of the Sky during the Gods War.

When Jagrekriand - the evil Red God - defeated the Water Gods, his brother, the Sky God Venebain, captured Tarahelera and took her as his concubine. As a result, Tarahelera stopped bringing her gentle rain to our ancestors. Ernalda knew that without her rains, the people of the Storm Tribe would suffer and she told her lover Niskis to steal Tarahelera and bring her to the Storm Tribe.

Niskis and his companion Yinkin the Cat went to the Sky and snuck into the Golden Hall of the Sky Gods. With Yinkin's help he avoided the guards - and bypassed the terrible baying hound Rowdril. He made his way through the labyrinth of chambers and apartments and made his way to Tarahelera's chamber.

Hidden, Niskis saw the beautiful Blue Woman dance and was smitten with her. Niskis emerged from his hiding place and sang her a poem he had composed. The young god seduced the Blue Woman and charmed into coming with him willingly. Tarahelera showed Niskis a secret way out of the palace and the three fled the Golden Hall together.

When Jenebain discovered that Tarahelera was gone, he charged out after Niskis. However, Jenebain did not summon his master Jagrekriand, and Niskis defeated him and his companions. Niskis then fled the Sky and returned to the Storm Tribe with Tarahelera, who blessed the people of the Storm Tribe with her gentle summer rains.
