Well met, "The North Star." Mind if I call you Polaris?  |

Well met and good to meet you, North Star...
Stay away from Alaundo...he might give you my old job - and my nasal passages are still clogged from the endless dusting....
Sweet water and light laughter, North Star!!! |

Greetings to you, The North Star.
May all your learning here be free and unfettered.

That's no problem, at least up until the year 7500. After that the North Star will be Alpha Cephei.
For those that do not understand, this is beacause the Earth spins on its axis like a gyroscope, and 'precesses' (a slow gyration of the earth's axis around the pole of the ecliptic) as it spins. The rotational axis slowly changes direction, in a circle, over thousands of years. Currently it points within one degree of Polaris. During the past 5000 years the axis has pointed at the star Thuban (Alpha Draconis); in the year 15,000 it will be the star Vega. About 9000 years after that, Polaris will again become the North Star.

| An insignifigant world, no more. A pale blue dot, as one sage called it, in a remote corner of the multiverse. A place where magic is so powerful, yet so remote, that few learn to wield it conciously, and so its inhabitants believe it does not exist. There are those who know otherwise, of course, but they have their own reasons for keeping silent . . . . |

*Bursts in*
My friends! I fear the worst, the Candlekeep Inn's wine celler has been drained!!! I.... * Notices Alaundo*.... ok nevermind we found where it all went
Oh and Northstar, Welcome to The Keep! While usually making sense the umm.... visions... of Alaundo have taken a toll on him this day... (they should... hardly a drop left in the place....). But you can find all information you require within these hallowed halls... And more... Now Alaundo, let's get you some strong coffee and a place to sit down.... As the saying goes:
A Knight of Honor let's not his fellows drink and Ride. |
It has to be Certain, the Gods Hate Me. For whatever irrevokable Fate, I have been made the walking Joke. Either that, or Beshaba is overlyfond Of Me.

Hello North star or should i say (***)
All I can really say is stay out of trouble and keep the shelves clean of dust.
Aloundo doesnt bite .... Hard, but he can be a slave driver. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

Ahem.....erm...maybe I should have included TheNorthStar's opening quote in my scribblings to make more sense (only a little more sense, mind) |
