Skeletal Remains area / few other changes.

Lasher, May 16, 2025

Skeletal Remains Area:

Once, long ago, there was a land ruled by Ratazhal, a wise and noble baron
whose strength and wisdom made him beloved by his people. By his side was
Xelthar, a gifted necromancer who, unlike others of his kind, practiced his
craft for the good of the realm. Xelthar was a trusted advisor, using his
knowledge of the dead to counsel the living, ensuring balance between life
and death and preserving harmony within the Baron’s lands. His magic was
pure, his intentions honest, and his loyalty to Ratazhal unwavering.

But fate has a way of twisting even the noblest of intentions.

A shadow crept into Xelthar’s mind, fed by whispered promises from the dark
corners of existence – power, immortality, and the secret to bending life
and death to his will. Despite his once benevolent intentions, Xelthar could
not resist the allure of such forbidden knowledge. He became obsessed with
the idea of resurrecting those long gone, harnessing their essence not only
to prolong life but to fortify the Baron’s lands against future threats.

He shared his discoveries with Ratazhal, but the baron, sensing the growing
darkness within his advisor, warned Xelthar against such reckless pursuits.
Yet, Xelthar was undeterred. He believed only he could see the true
potential of his newfound power. Frustrated and fearful, Ratazhal sought to
end his advisor’s experiments. A great conflict ensued, a clash of wills
that left Xelthar cursed, his body twisted and corrupted by dark magic, he
was cast out from the Baron’s lands to wander as a tortured outcast.

Betrayed and embittered, Xelthar fled to the lands now known as Skeletal
Remains a desolate, haunted place at the edge of the world. There, in the
shadow of his former greatness, Xelthar began to unleash his dark arts. He
became the overlord of Skeletal Remains, ruling over a macabre army of
undead abominations. Each of them was a soul twisted and bound by his dark
magic, forever enslaved to do his bidding. Xelthar was not content merely to
rule his dismal domain. He sought to expand his reign of terror beyond the
confines of Skeletal Remains. To do so, he created portals to invade other
lands.

A few other changes in this reboot

  • Tpspend token how has an option for ‘tpspend token [amount]’ to buy multiple tokens at once. You will need to use the ‘confirm’ option for more than one. (Sath).
  • You can also use ‘gtrivia [amount]’ to convert the tokens back to trivia. If you are converting more than 1 then the command will use items in inventory so a quick ‘hack’ to convert 1 token without hold it would be to use ‘gtrivia 1’. This command does also require the confirm option. (Sath).
  • Using ‘invsort timer’ will now show the time remaining next to items that do actually have a timer. ‘Invsort timers’ will also work. (Castiel)
  • If you try to skin a corpse too low level, the corpse will now be destroyed so will effectively be a failed skin. You do still get the message about it being too low level but I changed the message slightly so that anyone with a ‘sac corpse’ trigger on that message doesn’t end up ‘double sacrificing’ after this change. (Myth)
