ROCK TALK

Long time reader, first time writer.

Been a fan of Rocks for a long time, especially the letters page, but never thought I’d have any kinda experience worth writin’ in about, ya know what I mean?

The first thing I noticed about her was her shine. Real polish on this one, reflective in all the right places with a walk that makes a fella feel metamorphic and boulders like I ain’t
seen since the War of Gnox. I was on guard duty and hadn’t seen any trouble all night until she walked up.

“Hey there… lieutenant?” she asked me.

“Ha! Do I look like a stinkin’ Dommie? I’m just an old-fashioned merc trooper. Don’t call me ‘lieutenant,’ I work for a livin’.”

“Good,” she purred, and the moon glinted off her shiny, light-blue shoulders in a way that left nothin’ to the imagination. “Because I got a job for ya,
soldier.”

I never seen rocks move like that, but a few seconds later, guard duty was the last thing on my mind.

STRATEGIC ANALYSIS: Star-Comm Station

Lore

Prepared for the Widow by Agent RM-86

Initial reports indicate we were beaten to the punch on this one. I accept full responsibility for this oversight and will freely accept whatever punishment you deem necessary, my lady. It is my hope that the information I was able to acquire from the Dominion’s data networks will ameliorate the situation.

ITEM 1: We have confirmed that the infamous Lady Artemis Zin, as well as her aide, the Draken man-at-arms Kevo, are at the Star-Comm
Station facility. We believe this is definitely related to her publicly stated ambitions to discover a famous Eldan artifact.

ITEM 2: We have ascertained that this artifact, the so-called “Elder Cube,” may well be contained within Star-Comm. Unfortunately, at this time we have no reliable way of accessing the facility. We are working on infiltration for more reliable information in this regard. The best bet at this time appears to be a mechanical infiltrator, but I fear that a standard spybot –
even in disguise – would stand out amid the many Eldan constructs still functioning in the area.

ITEM 3: As the name seems to imply, much of this facility appears geared toward communication. But communication with whom? I do not believe even Lady Zin has figured this out. Yet.

[This remainder of this report summarizes the specific technical details the Black Hoods’ agents used to acquire this data and could reveal some leaks in the Dominion’s secrecy apparatus.]

SCOUTING REPORT: Levian Bay

« Back to the list of all Levian Bay collectibles

Lore

– Prepared by the Exploration Society –

Based on preliminary reports, the Exploration Society has selected Levian Bay as a primary landing site for newly arrived Dominion citizens on the planet Nexus. Although much of this area is still untamed, the might of the empire will soon bring the natives to heel and reveal previously unknown
secrets of the Eldan themselves.

The primary landing zone in the area has been designated SEASPINE POINT. The Dominion military will ensure the area is secure from Exile infiltration and native attacks, an ongoing operation that will no doubt soon be brought to a glorious conclusion.

Perhaps the most noteworthy site at
Levian Bay, beyond the excellent natural harbor and highly defensible promontories, is STAR-COMM STATION. This facility, the name of which has been discovered in Eldan reference works dating back to the pre-war era on Cassus, appears to be a powerful Eldan communications facility designed to broadcast signals
across vast gulfs of space – and, perhaps, time. Until the site can be accessed internally, full details of the station will have to wait. Noted Society member Artemis Zin and her aide Kevo are leading an exploratory expedition to the facility, and results are eagerly anticipated.

Native entanglements are, sadly, to be expected, at least until military operations can eradicate all interlopers and savages. Take precautions when traveling near the small blue creatures known as SKEECH, a
nasty little species who are known to have developed a taste for human flesh since the discovery of Nexus. We have also been notified of a local PELL tribe which could prove far more dangerous. This tribe appears to be affiliated with the power of primal water, and their priests – while primitive by galactic standards – have mastered the ability to manipulate this elemental energy with great skill. They may even be able to
influence major weather systems. Caution is advised until these Pell can be negotiated with or, more likely, eliminated.

Questions? Please contact your local Exploration Society representative via approved channels. For questions specifically related to Lady Artemis Zin, please add the words “Lady Zin” to the subject of your message. No autograph requests, please.

Commentary on the Vigilant Virtues for the Layperson

Lore

Pay heed, citizen, and hear of the Vigilant Virtues, the Scions who bestowed them upon us all, and the nature of their blessings.

THE STRENGTH OF AZRION THE CONQUEROR
The firstborn son of Dominus was born to conquer, but had the temperament to command the respect and loyalty of his enemies as well as his allies. The only one of Dominus’s children, the Scions, to also become emperor, he was therefore (with Dominus) one of two emperors to be canonized by the Vigilant Church.

The Blessings of Azrion bestow physical power and fortitude to those who embody this virtue.

THE COURAGE OF TRISTAN THE VALIANT
Tristan’s skill and fearlessness in battle earned her the nickname Tristan the Valiant. She is a goddess of Courage to the Vigilant Church, and a patron saint of Dominion Swordmaidens. Tristan’s blessings bestow heart and resilience to the Vigilant.

THE JUSTICE OF BRONOS THE JUST
Bronos was the impartial judge among the Scions,
the brother whom the rest turned to for a fair hearing. It is no surprise that the house he founded would continue in the tradition of jurisprudence. The blessings of Bronos focus the soul and body to better serve the gods.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF GALEN THE ADEPT
Galen was determined to learn all he could of the Eldan’s secret, ancient knowledge. He studied many scientific disciplines during his lifetime, as well as exploring many worlds beyond Cassus. His house founded
the Royal Collegium. Galen’s blessings include insight, creativity, and a gift with languages.

THE PURITY OF EVINDRA THE RIGHTEOUS
The Scion called Evindra was known for her honesty of spirit, purity of heart, and nobility of intentions. She was the longest-lived of the Scions, lasting long enough to see the first fifty years of her nephew Korol’s reign as the third emperor. She never sought power for herself, but instead believed wholeheartedly in the rightness of the
empire and worked diligently to support her father and those who ruled after him. Evindra’s blessings include certitude, chastity, and forthrightness in service to the gods.

THE DEVOTION OF KOROL THE DEVOUT
Korol worshiped his father Dominus both figuratively and literally. He wrote many essays and tracts on his greatness and the glorious destiny of the Dominion. Alone among the Scions, he contributed directly to the Vigilant Codex. Those blessed by Korol are the finest healers
and doctors in the empire, their hands guided by the gods themselves.

For more discussion and immersion in the Vigilant Virtues, consult the clergy at your local Vigilant temple or commit to meditative contemplation upon these words.

Shinies of Ellevar!

Lore

Lopp come to Ellevar looking for shinies, and Lopp not disappointed! If you also Lopp, or just big-folk who think like Lopp, maybe you are also looking for shinies and fun times. This guide for you!

WHAT SHINIEST OF SHINIES?
Hard to choose! Eldan shinies are good place to start. Who Eldan? Who knows? More to point, who cares? Good question! Answer is, big-folk like Exiles and Dominion! So Eldan shinies are shiny that shines twice: once when found, and again when sold by
far-trader to big-folk!

BIG-FOLK LOSE SHINIES ALL THE TIME. Shinies of all kinds! These shinies best judged on case-by-case basis. Find smart far-trader or treasure hunter to help price your find!

LEGENDS OF MANY OTHER LOST SHINIES!
These are a thing! Biggest shinies of all are hoarded by the Big Green Death. You don’t want to mess with BGD, she is bad times! But still, only way to get best shinies! What to do? Hire big-folk! Hasn’t worked so far, but has to sometimes!
Try to hire big horn folk for starters. They think big hunting times super-fun but don’t care about shinies. I know! But true. Get all the shinies, big horn folk do all the killing!

Don’t forget, little creatures can contain shinies too. Snoglugs! Steamgliders! Splorg! Shiny shells, shiny gas bladders, and shiny eyeballs, respectively. Shinies everywhere!

SERIOUSLY, SHINIES ARE EVERYWHERE! So go get them, treasure hunters!
