The Rift's Sacrificial Altar Visited | | Sent By: | System | | Received By: | You | | Date: | 12/15/2011 10:06:01 AM | A curved plinth of glowing rock with drainage gutters oozing blood-red magma dominates the scene.
Three squat and burning pillars surround the north-west side, as though they were places for giants to sit and observe the plinth in front of them, or perhaps sentinels, set to protect the altar from intruders.
Your group reports that they were unable to approach too near due to the fearsome heat pouring off the truncated pillars. |

The Rift's Obelisk Visited | | Sent By: | System | | Received By: | You | | Date: | 12/15/2011 9:27:43 AM | Dark sigils writhe and twist, glowing with pulses of orange and red across the sides of the stone obelisk.
Your units report that after observing the obelisk for a while, a sense of impending doom permeated their thoughts and, despite the heat, they felt chilled to the marrow.
The groups' enterprising leader tried to take a copy of the glowing sigils, but discovered that every copy he made was somehow wrong, and he gave up in frustration.

The Rift's Tooth Visited | | Sent By: | System | | Received By: | You | | Date: | 12/15/2011 10:00:54 AM | Your group carefully picks a path down the steep cliffsides, until they can get a clear view of this ghastly vista.
A mottled and burning spike of stone has been thrust up from the bubbling river of magma at the bottom of the chasm.
The waves of heat mean that your group cannot approach too closely, but the leader of your group swears that he can see what looks like glowing runes of fire inscribed in its surface.
Note: 2 spies. |

The Rift's Summoning Place Visited | | Sent By: | System | | Received By: | You | | Date: | 12/15/2011 9:30:45 AM | Five molten fountains of lava burst forth from this platform in a coruscating mire of heat, light and sound.
The plumes groan and roar with the screams of the tortured earth below.
Your units fear to enter the ground enclosed by the pillars, and even if they could stand the waves of heat emanating from the core, a tangible sense of unknown and terrible horror lies within.
Having done all they can at this fearful place, they head home.

The Rift's Ribs of the Devil Visited | | Sent By: | System | | Received By: | You | | Date: | 12/15/2011 9:50:10 AM | Your units report that a large number of huge arches of pure granite vault high above their heads, enclosing them in a pillared stone tomb.
The sky above is darkened by the yellow sulphurous clouds that hiss and vent into the surrounding, permeating everything and soaking into the skin.
All your units report, to a man, an oppressive and pervading sense of the unnatural in this place, and many appear to have heard a deep and rhythmic thumping under their feet - like a slow-beating heart, or something terrible trying to escape from the fiery depths below.
Despite their bravery on the field of battle, they do not wish to tarry in this place and wish to head home.
Note: This was scouts. Same result from scouts and spies. |

I am posting this on behalf of Ryelle.
The citizens of my capital of Esperanza, upon hearing tales of the catastrophe in the rift of Ursor, vowed that they would undertake to move into the area and Heal the Land. Through the powerful incantations of my mages, a Tenaril's Spell teleported my brave citizens to the edge of the rift.
Hardy diplomats, brave merchants and intrepid warriors will be making their way to Rift locations over the next few days. I will be posting the results of their journeys here.
Wish me luck!
