“My Dearest Baroness Carol Marshal,
It is with great pleasure that I come to know of you and that you were spared the wrath of Styphon. As you well know the plague is coming, the rumors are true. Should you wish to discus matters of great philosophical as well as pragmatic relevance to your very survival, I suggest you send a envoy to my temple to discuss them. We can be found 50miles west of the Fargo Hive at these coordinate 100x.300s
Yours In honor and Truth, Kymnarkmar’s Blessings Upon Thee and all thy subjects , Valen “

Barroness of New Wilmar, Carol Marshald meets with the Emmesaries of Dragonwright, Drago Mage and Null.
She says the following:
“My city is heavily bombed.
It seems the Jagged Fang bandits demanded tribute for crossing west on trade routes.
Failing to pay it, the Fangs have bombed part of New Wilmar in retaliation.
Its almost like they knew right when to invade. When we are weak from the Plague.
The black death claimed my outposts up to 5 miles outside the city. she says fearfully. All those men…dead.
then they swept in, claiming lands not theirs, feasting upon our dead and looting our border outposts.
Orcs this brazen must have a leader of some sort. I need you to go in and find this hoards leader ,and slay it. Then they should get confused and flee.
If you do so I will pledge my kingdom’s support in your work and send men to holy place if you wish it.
My pesants think its just a Coalition plaugue, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep them from fleeing my holdings for safer work. I know it is something worse, if you know anything you must tell me… I will reward you greatly if your work can relieve this horrible plague.”

Drago meets up with MAGE in tolkeen
Mage sends Drago a magic pigeon form Tolkeen. Drago teleports back to Tolkeen from the tree to visit MAGE. Room service knocks at MAGE’s ritzy Hotel room door. Drago suspects danger, MAGE wont let the room service in, DRAGO teleports outside the room and sees two men in suits talking to a girl MAGE was just entertaining prior to Dragos arrival.
MAGE mystic portals to the hotel garage while Drago teleports outside the room looking for himoutside.
MAGE gets the mountaineer and starts driving to the front of the hotel. Suddenly his vehicle is hit by 4 explosive mini missles from an unknown holographicaly cloaked opponent ontop of the garage.
Before he can react MAGE’s vehicle is again hit with four minimissles.
Drago tries to get to MAGE and magic nets the shooter.
The net slides off the leg of some sort of robot, MAGE mystic portals out of the ruins of his moutaineer back into the garage.
Drago battles the robot with energy fields to block its missle attack. After some fighting Drago gets hit with autocannon, plasma and pulse weapon fire and takes some damage, hiting the Robot with a wall of ice and carpeting it to the ground.
MAGE sees the valet who brought his vehicle to him standing next to a guy in a suit. The guy draws and fires on MAGE who returns fire with his Triax rail gun cutting down the Valet and the Man with a hail of railgun pellets.
MAGE then sneaks back to Drago who is battling the carpeted Robot.
The robot uses heavy jet thrusters to take off trailing chunks of ice and cobblestones carpeted to it. MAGE slows it down with negate mechanics to a thruster but it still escapes out of range.
MAGE flees to the bar “Goats Liver” while drago teleports to the tolkeen mall to spend some of the 200k MAGE gave him.
Drago spends 5k and registers his application fee with the Tolkeen School of magic, then looks into scrolls at the mall…

Drago's Tolkeen College of Magic Student Application
1) Name
Drago
2) Race
Great Horned Dragon
3) Magical proficiency level:116
4) Age 14 years old
5) Chosen Program of Study and Tuition:
[X] accelerare privatus scholaris 5,000,000 credits, time optional
6) Are you a tolkeen Citizen yes [X] no[] (unofficially)
7) The Tolkeen College of Magic is a public university. That said our great College was built for the benefit of the people of Tolkeen. If admitted how will you use this knowledge to help the Kingdom of Tolkeen?
I will use this knowledge as I have used my knowledge over the last several months… fighting the Coalition States, The Vampire Intelligence, and Xitixics that have threatened our small corner of the world. Only two moons ago I helped save Pure Spring, friend of Johnny Cardinal, from the diabolic subterfuge of Ixyotl. A few weeks earlier I stopped the wanderings of a 300+ deep vampire caravan led by “Esteban” - single handedly. I also have intimate knowledge of a pending unheralded doom which may soon render Tolkien and potentially Earth in dark shadow indefinitely…among other distinct lurking evils that threaten our space.
Dragons are creatures of magic known to travel the Megaverse in search of knowledge, power, and wealth. If admitted to the Tolkien College of Magic I, Drago alleged heir to a throne, will swear not only to fight the evils which threaten to annihilate Tolkien, but also to stimulate lucrative commerce, exchange of ideas, and prosperity for all. Also see #11
8) Current and former addresses for the last 5 years.
North America near or in Tolkien. Tolkien since unofficially joining Ronin and Mage about six months ago. Mercer Estate.
9) List 3 References who are Tolkeen Citizens, names and contact info and how you know them.
Mage
Ronin
Pure Sprin & Johnny Cardinal
10) Scholaris is the first type of degree offered by the College.
Students who prove themselves are invited into our Magister program. If allowed the choice to research any one magical spell for your final project, which one would you choose and why?
Temporal. I have anniahalted an evil adult dragon, Neaderthal, to save a helpless village and ressurected a fallen cybernight from battle, but there is no other nonlegendary magic more powerful than Temporal Magic. With this knowledge I can save nations and create mass long lived elation in the dark shadows of evil.
11) Please list other notable achievements, associations and knowledge.
- Honorary Cyber Night via the Frankenton Nights of The Holy Guard
- Overcome Balrog 1 month ago and young Xitixic queen about 2 months ago
- Caught the Vampire intelligence funneling humans to their doom by the thousands only a couple days ago in a near-by town.
- Single handedly quelled a rifting swarm of Xitixic within a day of Tolkien at the age of 9.
- Saved thousands of innocent human lives every few years.
- Moderate knowledge of one quiet revolutionary group.
- Possibly condierable knowledge on a son of Styphonal.
- Have a powerful well motivated circle of friends and a growing contingent of followers.
- I am friend and caretaker to Valen, only known remaining priest of Kymnarkmar on Earth. He has fortold and I have experienced a wave of death that has killed miles of wild life without exception like at the rate of a brisk wind.

What is the Third Age of Dragonwright Rifts? FAQ
Q. What urls used to go to your pages?
http://roo.unixnet.org/~ambience/index.htm was my original All Original Rifts homepage from 1997 onward. Then unixnet.org shutdown and i moved to my isp host:
http://www.vbe.com/~mnkr/index.htm then vbe.com got shutdown
Later I created http://node13.shacknet.nu/rifts/ as linux server. This ran my wordpress blog and the first 3rd age webpage
Currently I use http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/ because blogger is just too good to ignore anymore.
Q. Is any of this up to date?
A. No.
Q. What is the Third Age of Dragonwright Rifts?
A. A semi-monthly rifts game.
Current group is called the "Emissaries"
unofficialy lead by MAGE, a 7th Level Line Walker BioBorg
who tries to focus the insane wanderings of Drago, 6th lvl Dragon Hatchling, and Dameon 5th level Highwayman Bandit and Sparticus, CS Excon 4th level Zapper and Powerarmor pilot.� Drago is friends with Null (4th level Technowizard) who often moves the whole group around in his giant robot bohemoth explorer. After the last adventure Drago and Ronin, 6th Level Cyberknight had a confrontation. The cyberknight may or may not be in the next session as ronin and Drago may fight to the death next time they meet...
So all those are played by REAL people, some or all may show when we game.
Q. But what about the 2nd and 1st ages?
A.� This is a pun.� Since I've had 3 versions of my rifts page over the last 10 years, I figured the 3rd edition should tie into my game somehow.� And it does, for the 1st age and 2nd age are plot devices in my game, as the players unlock the history of Rifts earth.
Q. What are the Seals?
A. Valen claims the Seals are 13 protective marks put in the skin of Rifts earth by Kymnarkmar in the 1st age. Worshiped as holy places and often magical hotspots in their own right, the Seals fell into disrepair in the second age with most of Kymnarkmar's followers falling to Styphon's faction of Dragonwright cultists.� Valen refers to this as the "fallen age of Dragonwright".� During the second age the church was corrupted by Styphon and failed to respect all 4 Dragon gods equally as Valen believes it originally did on Palladium, rumored birthplace of Kymnarkmar.
Q. What are all these places I keep hearing about?
A.
The Emmissaries currently have 3 homebases:
1) Temple of tree, north dakota (Dragos home)
2) Mercer Family Estate, Tolkeen (MAGE's family estate & Rumored Faerie Mound)
3) Tolkeen Civil Defense Central (headquarters outside tolkeen, Ronin, MAGE are longtime members and have fine quarters, Dameon and Sparticus have guest passes for the public barracks for un-initiated members and conscripts.
Q.� Why do I keep seeing SDC totals?
A.� We use a conversion system to bring MDC and SDC into balance.
Q where are the seals?
a players know about seal 11 in fargo ND, and seal 7 in atlantis, possibly another unknown seal is in ohio
