Description
Hall of Fame Guild Prelude module
Sucked into a world you know nothing about, you soon find the same phenomenon that brought you here heralds a dark future for both this world and your own. Armed with nothing but your wits, will you be able to avert that doom?
Valeron is a land like any other land. It has seen great strife, many wars, and many kingdoms. It has seen many births, and many deaths. It is home to many, who have loved, hated, or been indifferent to the changes across the ages.
Valeron is different in only one way, from the many other worlds in our universe. The universe is like a tree, and Valeron is at its base (or root). This does not make Valeron special, or better, or much different at all, from the other parallel worlds on the tree of life. Rather, it is a position that does not mean much at all, save for when the tree is shaken. For when the tree is shaken, a leaf is torn, or a branch is clipped, the falling fruits and nuts sometimes descend near the base. Only at such a time might one notice the difference between Valeron and other worlds. This is such a time.
Note: Tales of the Sundering, except for the Prelude, follows a hub and spoke system, where each module is reached from the hub. You need to have downloaded the following module before you can travel out of the hub. The Prelude allows you to get started without any concerns about what follows.
The Tales of the Sundering concept comes to you from:
Baldecaran
John 'Gestalt' Bye
Codepoetz
B G P Hughes
Dave Mason
G.R. 'LeBlaque' Mathews
Mark Price

An interesting prelude that made me want to play the rest and a good module in its own right. I mst have missed something as I only managed level 2, but an easy fight in the next should pop level 3.

Great introduction to the Sundering. Feels slow and confusing at times, but by the end you see how it all fits.

An exemplary beginning. I love these scraping off stuff to survive beginnings. The rift creatures were great! Not a boring moment there, constantly being barraged by new information and stuff. Now off to fire up the Hub!

Spoiler it is then... you'll have to die in this encounter to end the mod. After you've been killed, then you should be raised in another place, provided you had an Heaven's Tear in your inventory at the time of your death

I can tell I am going to love all of the mods in this series, but first I have to get to them. ****SLIGHT SPOILER:**** When I get to the "March on the Wreckers" everyone gets killed and the "Huge Beasts" get to "near death" but are un-killable. I can find no transition to escape or to move out of the area. Any Suggestions as to what I need to do to move on? TIA for any help. If you don't want to post a possible spoiler you may email me at pornontheside@comcast.net

Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry I missed your question (was away) - but as you have probably realised by now, that choice is yours. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

A lot of interaction with your comrade. Though it started out a bit cliché (Varn was often offering sme definite waypoint on which he would trust me), I grew rather fond of him despite this being a Prelude, and as such, rather short. Interesting setup/atmosphere/conversation/use of skills... _________________________ One feels inclined to say that the idea that man should be "happy" is not included in the plan of "creation". - Sigmund Freud

Which world is the main character supposed to come from? I'd like to know this up front in order to decide which kind of character to play. If coming from, for example, our own world, I'd try to model myself. -_- _________________________ One feels inclined to say that the idea that man should be "happy" is not included in the plan of "creation". - Sigmund Freud
