Stylish thooms hunting the North West Forest
(Kili commenting on my boosting skills...)
YELLOW IS STYLE! Blue seems to be the colour of the zodiac in Puddleby. Boring Blue, if I may add my opinion. Yellow is the way! Yellow like the Sun! Only a handful exiles wear yellow and I was happy to find a colleague in colour in Kili. We dashed like yellow flashes through the North West Forest while discussing fashion and other important issues.

CLOUD ACCESSABILITY I was just heading into another part of the library, when my clan mate Melben asked me if I needed cloud access. Of some strange reason, I never got cloud access before, so I answered "Yes please!". Several exiles, with Melben at the controls, had managed to move the cloud to the proper position for gaining access via the South Forest mirror. I had only minutes to react, so I threw the books in the arms of the surprised librarian, and rushed through the Forest in record time! The hostile critters didn't even have time to react to the Yellow Thoomy Flash (tm), so I was totally unharmed when I entered the Mirror snell.
I entered the Mirror, and now I have permanent access to this mysterious land in the sky. More Exiles made use of this opportunity, and after a few minutes there was quite a crowd gathered up there! Fiona jokingly asked if this was the new TC.
Cloud the new TC?
SNAGGLEWOOD TRIP A few evenings ago, Geotzou was in town organizing a trip to the Trainer's Grotto in the Snagglewood Outback. Lorikeet was to be our Wisher's Gate opener. A good amount of exiles wanted join so in the end the party numbered around 15 exiles. Without any problem, we were led through the Snagglewood until we reached the Bones snell and Wisher's Gate.
Wisher's Gate in Snagglewood
When you enter Wisher's Gate you are in the dreaded snell called Hatred Hollow. Many years ago, this snell was a terrible place, and the exiles in the Lands were just barely making it through to the path leading on into the Snagglewood Outback. These days, it is still no walk in the park, but with this group we made it safely to the path in the North East corner.
In the Trainer's Grove, which is the next snell after Hatred Hollow the orgas were as surprised as in the rest of Snaglewood. So, we made it safely to the Trainer's Grotto without any problems at all. Inside, fighters trained and thooms fished. Thank you all for a nice and successful expedition!

PECULIAR ENCOUNTER WITH VOOLCONS Connie Crete, the lovely dwarven lady, recently contacted me about a peculiar sight on Fire Island. She reported three aimlessly wandering voolcons on Fire Island. After some coin collecting, I rented a boat and rowed over there to meet Connie and see the voolcons for myself. And there they were: three little voolcons, aimlessly wandering the sands a few snells North of the South Fire Island landing beach.

The voolcons wandered back and forth, in what looked like a big circle. Connie and me watched them and tried to make contact. Several times we pointed North to let them know where their town is, if it was a case of three lost voolcons. Nothing seemed to make them change their tireless walking in circles.
Who were these voolcons? Questors? Outcasts? Rebels? Scholars? We Exiles know so little about this eccentic folk. Maybe this atypical wandering outside their city is a sign for something changing. Maybe this will lead us to deeper understanding of the voolcons?
