Legends of the discussion groups: "The Platter of Amusements"
by Ray Kremer [2:56, 12/27/01]
In the olden days there were three great cities of amusements. There was the city of Tee Aye Fyles,
but the years took their toll on that city and it fell into ruins, and eventually even the rubble where it had
stood could not be found. There was also Dymension Tee Aye, later to be known as Calk of Org. (The
great Library of Fak was located nearby, but a short ride from the city walls.) But by far the oldest,
largest, and most famed of the cities was Tee Aye Calk of Org, and many apprentices did walk through
the gates of that city.
It happened that the city of Tee Aye Calk of Org came to the attention of the lords of Mount Texas, and
calling down from on high they said to the Governors of the city, "Deliver to us a selection of your best
amusements, and we shall incribe them upon magik platters and disperse them among the apprentices
of the land, and their love for us will increase as will the fame of your city." The Governors did as they
had been asked, and the lords of Mount Texas did as they had promised, and as they had foreseen the
apprentices did praise the lords and visit the city in greater numbers than ever before.
Soon though, dark forces whispered in the ears of the great giants of Pa-Rence, and the giants found
upon the platters things that made them red-eyed with anger, and they attacked Mount Texas with
great clubs and the looming threat of unleashing the most feared unholy creature ever to be spawned
in the darkest depths of the underworld, the Lawyer. The lords of Mount Texas then did hurl their
lightning bolts and destroyed every platter they could find, at great cost and difficulty to themselves.
And the Governors of Tee Aye Calk of Org did tremble at the terrible thing they had caused, and they
felt much anguish knowing that the lords of Mount Texas had been terribly inconvenienced by their
foolishness, and they evacuated the city and closed its gates while they searched for the things which
made the giants angry and burned them on the pyre. And while the city gates were closed their was a
great wailing and gnashing of teeth from the apprentices, who were too foolish to make do with the
amusements they had already collected or to seek out other places where they could be found.
Soon though, the Governors of Tee Aye Calk of Org finished their search and reopened the city, and
the apprentices once more filled its walls. And the lords of Mount Texas learned to be more careful
when dealing with mortals.
Legends of the discussion groups: The Great Libraries
by Ray "Homer he ain't" Kremer [2:43, 12/28/01]
The great sage Ray Kremer dwelt long in the Realm of the discussion groups, but it was not always so.
In time long forgotten, Ray Kremer did aquire for the first time a ship that could surf the Sea of Webb,
and during his voyages he came upon the Realm of the discussion groups and found there many
apprentices in great need of guidance. And the great sage Ray Kremer, who had read the ancient
tome of Manual, was able to preach sermons to the apprentices that set them on the right path. But
new apprentices who had not heard the sermons were constantly arriving in the Realm, and Ray
Kremer did often repeat his sermons for their benefit. One of the most popular was the sermon of the
cord of Graff Lynk, but it is a very long sermon, and Ray Kremer did grow weary of reciting it.
Then the great sage said to himself, "Would it not be easier for me to write the sermons upon scrolls,
and then when an apprentice comes who is in need of the wisdom of the sermons, he can read the
scrolls, and I can save my voice." And so he did this, and set many of his sermons to page, and he
built a library in which to house them, and this was the Library of Fak. And the sage Ray Kremer did
