MORE ON THE ARCHMAGE

Further to my previous post on the Archmage,  here is some strong pictorial evidence as to his true appearance :








from the  inside of   Crown  Of   Kings 

and here he is on the cover  :

they even put him on the cover of    YOU ARE THE HERO   !

so if  he's not that bloke,  then who the hell is he  ?

THE CANDLE OF ETERNITY

In my previous post,   I discussed references that end  with a full stop and here is a perfect example.




You find yourself in a large well lit room.   At the centre of the room is a table upon which rests a red candle.  All around you are shelves piled high with food stuffs, weapons and all manner of knick-knacks.   It  almost seems too good to be true and perhaps it is.


You move to investigate the treasure on the shelves but instead find yourself looking at the candles flame.   It burns a bright yellow and fills the room with its intensity .   Your life is now in immediate danger and you must test your  WILL POWER.


If your dice roll is less than your  WILL POWER,  you break free of the candles hold and go on to explore the room.


However,  if your roll was higher,  this is what happens :


You try to resist the lure of the candle but its no use.  Its yellow light grows larger and larger , filling  your world.    You no longer possess   physical form as your life force has now been absorbed into the candle where you will spend the rest of your existence.   Where you will join all those who have succumbed  to  the   Candle  Of   Eternity.
