		keyphrase.30=_( "link" )
		answer.30=_( "I think what $Karzul hinted at is such a thing.

		keyphrase.56=_( "fiendish" )
		answer.56=_( "The demon $Karzul has given the seed to our friend Mothrazu, the crazed guardian of Nature. She claimed that visions of $Amod - the god of Nature - tormented her dreams and drove her on the quest to cover the material realm in an antediluvian forest.||However, I believe it to be far more concievable that the source of these nightmares was $Karzul himself, as he tried to not-so-subtly nudge our druid closer to the chasms of madness. ||The only $question which remains is why he would bother with such a thing." )
		keyphrase.57=_( "question" )
		answer.57=_( "In order to answer this question, I turned my energies to researching the 'tree'. After all, why would a powerful abyssal being take such keen interest in arboreal studies? Rest assured, his motives do not include whishing to make the world greener.||In fact, when I finally stumbled upon the connection ( haha, good one) the blood froze in my veins... I rememeber even still... the wind howling outside my chambers when by the light of the last of my tallow candles nearly guttering, I found what I was $looking for." )
		keyphrase.58=_( "looking" )
		answer.58=_( "The ancient text nearly crumbled as I read its worn pages...||In archaic prose, it told the account of Licidus Arcun, the master scholar of Eruon - the ancient name of the very city of Horghh - who while collecting and categorizing species of nature, accidentally stumbled upon a being named $Arcanex.||Thought to be extinct for centuries, $Arcanex was the last of a race of sentient trees. One interesting quality of these beings is that their roots transcend physical limitations and can reach across multiple planes of existance." )
		keyphrase.59=_( "Arcanex" )
		answer.59=_( "Yes, it is pure genius, don't you see? $Karzul must have somehow got a hold of a seed of Arcanex - or another member of his tree race. ||Since $Karzul cannot exist in our reality without an extraplanar link to his home plane - the $Abyss - he sent $Mothrazu to prepare for his coming. I am sure of it! He plans to dominate this world, but he needed a mechanism to ensure all his powers would be available to him while in the material realm. A plane-tunneling conduit like the roots of the Tree of Emeril is perfect. ||Now $nothing can stop him as he invades and enslaves all of humankind." )
		keyphrase.60=_( "nothing" )

You must travel and $speak with the tree. ||Remember it is a sentient, though conversing with it is likely to be challenging even if it notices humans at all... Find out all that you can about its plans and details about how and when $Karzul is likely to enter our world. Based on the information you reconnoiter perhaps we can formulate a plan...|| For if with this last mission we don't find some way to stop $Karzul, we may as well say farewell to all that we hold dear.||Now go!" )

		answer.61=_( "Oh yes, I almost forgot. I did read a bit on how to communicate with a spawn of $Arcanex. As you can I'm sure imagine a relationship between a mere mortal and a towering, arboreal plane-dweller is at the least a frustrating exercise in inter-species protocol. A more likely situation is that the plant will ignore you completely. In order for succesful contact, you must present the tree with a subject of interest.||It is just our luck that this particular spawn of $Arcanex decided to lair not far from the entrance of an abandoned underground deep-elven stronghold. Why the elves left the place is not known to me, however I do know that they left behind a powerful artifact, known as the 'Quen-go-Nul', or the $Cronostar. ||Simply put, the $Cronostar when activated can slow time in a given radius by creating a pocket dimension around its handler. I'm convinced, that the proximity of such an ancient device will spur any sentient plane traveler to endless chatter." )
		keyphrase.62=_( "Cronostar" )
		answer.62=_( "The Cronostar was created by elven mages in the ancient times - before humans, hrmph! Its initial use was to safely harvest deep growing mushrooms - an elven delicacy - from the safety of its pocket dimension. ||Judging from the fact that this elven stronghold now stands empty, perhaps the Chronostar's powers were outmatched by whatever force dwells there in the depths of the earth... ||Yet I am confident it will be no match for you. ||After retrieving it from the lowest level of the stronghold, proceed directly to the spawn of $Arcanex and attempt to make contact..." )

No one knows the real reason but the fact is nightwards routinely live past a thousands years of age.||There is much we see in the passing of such massive amounts of time. Humanity was long known to us although we had no way to travel across the dimensional breach that separates our worlds. Until the fateful day of the $accident we only admired the ceaseless process of the material realm from afar." )
		keyphrase.65=_( "accident" )
		answer.65=_( "One day our tribal elders selected a group of us to bring our finished craft through the forests and trade them for coin with those living on the other side.||However, our journey through the forest was interrupted. A strange wind rustled the leaves of the ancient oaks.. and as we neared the darkest, most ancient grove of these eldritch giants, the wind brought rain and hail.||Shards of ice flew down from the sky, slicing at our cloaks like shrapnel from heaven. The smells, the colors, the angle of the rain... it all seemed unnatural.||When the storm grew the fiercest, the falling hail seemed to grow into a solid shape at the center of a clearing and before our very eyes, the ice formed a swirling vortex! An inter-dimensional rift appeared, made of screaming, circling razor sharp pieces of hail...||Threre was no escape. We tried to turn our horses, abandoning all gear and heavy clothing, but to no avail. The blooming dimensional gateway slowly but surely drew us ever closer to its howling core. Around us we could see through the freezing mists how the gnarled ancient trees were uprooted one at a time.||And just when we thought our lives forsaken, when our prayers to Regbreon went unanswered, suddenly an eerie $silence replaced the howling ice vortex's screams." )

We visited the elves of Allovium, the dwarven mountain fastness of Thuzgol and many human cities. All in all we were disappointed in the material realm during those first years. Where we expected art and science, found most concerned with only their daily bread.||Those living in poverty were forced to behave more like animals than the noble beings we expected to find. And those with money, the supposed 'nobility' existed as if the starving, ailing masses around them were only an inconvenient blemish upon their otherwise perfect days of debauchery.||When we all but gave up of ever finding true humanity on the material plane, we met the $Guardians of the Realm. Not only did they recognize us for what we were, they understood our unique situation! We spent many years together, teaching the ways of our people to each other. We also researched a way to travel across the dimensional divide the separates our cultures. With the aid of the $Guardians, we were able to finally travel home.||Many centuries after we sought for a way to repay the Guardians for the kindness they have shown us. The opportunity emerged when we heard of the doom $prophecy that was to end the $Guardians' long reign of peace." )

Us nightwards volunteered to act as their wards: to watch over their sleep through the centuries.||Most of us took shifts in the monastery's darkened halls, keeping watch over the peace of the sleepers. Some of us - yours truly - traveled the land in search of the new group of heroes who had the potential to awaken the $Guardians when the time came.||Never would I have dreamt that I would find them, a group of aging ex-adventurers cleaning sewers for a dungeon janitorial company.
