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
