We've got @Red2111 in the discord but will she make it to the Game lol The answer is no 😞 because of a 10 year old email address and a busy life. But maybe soon!

@Verbal32 I did not ask for this to happen but @SinisterDeath has just unlocked the old Mafia Board and wondered if you'd be able to move all the new Mafia things over to the old Mafia Board. All I said was it might be nice to have the word Mafia on this board cos the returners were having trouble finding it. On the plus side. All the old games are visible again. So sorry Verbal 😞

Oh he will love that.... Thank you Sinister. Always above and beyond lol

Also please come join the Adventure Game. The party is slacking and we're wandering about with a prisoner in the dark.

Is it possible to rename the Community Games board to show as Mafia and Community Games board? When people have been coming back they have found it difficult to find where the Mafia is at and I've had to give them links.

Welcome to DM, Searcher. I cannot answer your questions cos I'm very much a surface level fan, but we have a whole section dedicated to the books and questions. This place holds all those who deep dive into lore and things. And if you've been watching the TV show we also have a discussion board for that. It's not all discussions though, if you just want to hang out, we have our Orgs where you can kind of take on the role of Randland folks, such as the White Tower, the Band and Shayol Ghul And we have games too. We play a game called Mafia, where you have to figure out who is on your team and who is not. And I'm currently running a Choose your own adventure. Don't worry about needing to catch up, just skip to the last Choices post and vote using the Reactions.

Only if you want to rush. Otherwise everything will happen eventually just by chatting and stuff. Not rushing means you can just hang out and have fun 🙂

It does get a bit more dangerous when it gets dark.

There might still be more. The Beacons have been lit.

Well I want to talk to him so that's 2. Let's go Story: As the sun lowers behind the cliffs, you turn toward Kerin, still seated beside the stone wall, his bindings glinting with faint Spirit glyphs. You sit across from him—not as a jailer, but as someone ready to listen. “You said you thought the cult was saving the world,” you begin. “What were you promised?” Kerin exhales slowly. His gaze doesn’t meet yours at first. But the peaceful surroundings, the glyph’s subtle presence, and your recent act of mercy soften him. “I was lost. I had... no place in the world. The Eye offered structure—answers. They told us the Fivefold Path was broken, and that a new age had to rise from the ashes of the old.” “They showed us glyphbearers like you. Said you'd remake the weave in your image—and leave the rest of us behind.” He glances up now. “But you didn’t leave me. You spared me.” The Spirit Glyph on your body pulses once, faint and warm. You know he's speaking from the heart. Insight Gained – Cultic Motivation Identified The Eye of the Hollow recruits from the disenfranchised Their dogma claims the Fivefold Weave is flawed, and glyphbearers must be destroyed before balance can return Cultists undergo a blindness ritual to sever emotional empathy—Kerin never completed his Kerin’s Trust Increased He leans forward slightly, voice quiet: “If you can get me to the shrine in Windrest… I’ll tell you where they gather. There’s a place. A sanctum not marked on any map.” Updated Stats: HP: 26 / 27 EP: 10 / 17 Veilbrand Ascendant: Ready Spirit Strength: 15 Codex Update: Kerin’s Trust: Moderate Cult Sanctum Location: Available upon arrival at Windrest shrine “Fivefold Path targeted by Eye of the Hollow” added to prophecy log Outcome of the Choice: You deepened Kerin’s trust and learned of a hidden cult sanctum—information he will share once safely delivered to the shrine. You now understand more about the cult’s ideology and why they target glyphbearers. Next Choices: Continue into Windrest Hollow, determined to reach the shrine. Use the Prayer Stone now to strengthen future blessings. Sleep here for a long rest, ensuring full HP and EP recovery. Search the ledge for rare plants or reagents while there’s still light. Mark this conversation into the Codex, creating a permanent memory bond.

Maybe the WiFi is out. Still no votes yet though

And now... Warder training and Mafias lol

We have a little rest Story: With the descent into Windrest Hollow just ahead, you decide to rest. The path opens into a small stone ledge, shielded on three sides by rock and framed by low pines. A thin waterfall trickles nearby, feeding into a shallow pool—clean, drinkable water glinting under the fading afternoon light. You unroll your bedroll, place your pack within reach, and settle in beside the pool. Kerin sits quietly, hands still bound, eyes watching the horizon but saying nothing. As you rest, the Prayer Stone tucked in your pouch glows faintly—not enough to call attention, just a gentle pulse, as if reassuring you that this is sacred ground. Short Rest Completed: You spend enough time meditating and breathing in the calm of the ledge to restore your strength, but not enough for full recovery. HP Restored: +1 EP Restored: +7 (includes +1 bonus from Water Glyph) Veilbrand Ascendant: Cooldown fully lifted Status: Slightly fatigued, but spell-ready Updated Stats: HP: 26 / 27 EP: 10 / 17 Elemental Strengths: (unchanged) Water: 19 | Fire: 12 | Spirit: 15 | Air: 2 | Earth: 2 Spell Book: Veilbrand Ascendant: Ready Emberlash, Soul Veil, Boiling Lance Inventory: (unchanged) Codex Note Added: Sacred Rest Point – Whispering Ledge Prayer Stone harmonized: future blessings may be stronger here Outcome of the Choice: You completed a short rest, recovering EP and lifting Veilbrand Ascendant’s cooldown. The calm energy of the ledge also bonded faintly with your spiritual tools, hinting at future use. Next Choices: Continue into Windrest Hollow now that you're recovered. Use the Prayer Stone while the sacred energy lingers. Speak with Kerin, while the peaceful moment may loosen his thoughts. Search the ledge for rare herbs or spiritual artifacts. Sleep for a full long rest, risking nightfall but gaining full recovery.

Sha'tan and Mat too Oh no Mat does have just 1 T I don't know who Dan is supposed to be but I figured that was wrong?

I see these posts every year and go, oh yeah, Turin. Did you do your taxes? But apparently expats have till June. Still weird that all of you have to do it. It's only self employed people that have to do it over here.

We consult the book of all things Story: You reach for your Codex and whisper, “Show me the nearest settlement. Somewhere safe… with people.” The glyphs swirl for a moment, responding to both your Spirit Glyph and the tracking seal on Kerin. A map forms in mid-air, etched in silver light. Just a few miles off the path to Skyreach lies a village nestled in the cliffs: Windrest Hollow. “Windrest Hollow: a fortified cliffside village known for its small shrine, herbalists, and traveling mystics. Friendly to glyphbearers. Caution: isolated but safe.” The Codex highlights a winding descent path toward the hollow, veiled from above by natural rock formations—hard to see, harder to attack. Kerin lifts his head. “Windrest… we used to watch it from the ridges. They never gave in.” You begin the descent, guided by glyphlight and cautious steps. Updated Stats: HP: 25 / 27 EP: 3 / 17 Veilbrand Ascendant: Cooldown active Inventory: (unchanged) Coin: 47 Copper, 6 Silver Crowns Companion: Kerin (Bound Cultist) – cooperative Codex Update: New Location Added: Windrest Hollow Shrine access Safe rest location Possible merchant & information hub Travel Route Locked: Path to Windrest Hollow Detected Outcome of the Choice: You’ve located Windrest Hollow, a hidden but friendly village just off your current path. It offers a chance to rest, trade, purify items, and speak with NPCs—and a place to safely deliver Kerin for help or judgment. Next Choices: Continue toward Windrest Hollow now, aiming to arrive by nightfall. Ask Kerin questions on the way, using Spirit Glyph to guide the talk. Rest at the edge of the pass before descending—recover EP and stabilize. Use the Prayer Stone to seek divine favor before entering the village. Detour to search for herbs or items along the mountain trail.

I think we need to get this dude stashed away. So maybe got visit a village. Because he is going to increase the chances of an attack. But I also want more info from him

We don't have a lot of magic left.

Ok, back to being cautious Story: You step toward the surviving cultist—still kneeling, breathing heavy but no longer trembling. “I’m not letting you go,” you say quietly, “but I won’t leave you for dead either.” You retrieve a length of cord from your adventurer’s kit and bind their wrists, leaving enough slack for movement but not escape. They don’t resist. “I… I’ll come quietly,” the cultist mutters. “If you truly walk the path of balance… maybe you’ll show me where mine broke.” With a few whispered words to your Codex, you register the prisoner under a passive tracking ward. A faint glyph pulses on their bindings—enough to slow or mark them if they try to flee. Captured NPC: Former Cultist – "Kerin" Former initiate of the Eye of the Hollow Knows minor rituals and cult structure May be turned into an informant or redeemed under proper guidance Spirit Glyph can detect falsehood if questioned directly Can be delivered to a temple, shrine, or village guard for judgment or assistance Codex Alert – Prisoner Status Active A nearby village or spiritual sanctuary will be needed to safely house the prisoner Until then, travel speed slightly reduced Chance of random ambush increased until he is delivered Updated Stats: HP: 25 / 27 EP: 3 / 17 Veilbrand Ascendant: Cooldown active Inventory Update: (unchanged) Coin Total: 47 Copper, 6 Silver Crowns Companion Added: Kerin (Bound Cultist) – currently passive Codex Update: “Cult Captive – In Transit” status enabled Town or sanctuary recommended for delivery Outcome of the Choice: You spared and bound the final cultist, now named Kerin, placing a spiritual mark of truth and registering him in your Codex. He may become a valuable source of information—or a symbol of redemption. Next Choices: Ask the Codex for the nearest town or sanctuary to deliver Kerin. Interrogate Kerin now, using Spirit Glyph to detect lies. Rest and restore EP before moving forward toward Skyreach Monastery. Use the Prayer Stone to attempt purifying the Cursed Thread Ring. Press on to Skyreach with Kerin, risking more ambushes but staying on path.

Shocker lol

You get a little badge lol

Yay you made it! Wait a minute. I thought you said you were just about to start work lmao

I'm terrible at manipulation and I have no idea what you mean. Wb Rand 💙
