From the diary of Giblet

Memory is still fuzzy. The last thing Giblet remembers is big fire because Giblet made mistake in casting enchantment magic. Giblet tried to cast re-incantation spell from spellbook to correct failed spell and put out magic fire. Giblet is sure he cast re-incantation spell correctly. Funny name for spell. The name in spellbook was blurred. Giblet is not sure that those were T-s in spell name anymore.
Giblet has no idea where he is. There is mist everywhere. His body feels strange too.
Buhuhu. Giblet knows what happened. Giblet got reincarnated. Spell turned Giblet from goblin to human. Giblet is in Nexus in the body of a boy of 16. That's how old Giblet was but human age of 16 is different from goblin age of 16.
Giblet is all alone and scared. There is no master to protect him and no other goblins to mix with. No big bush to hide under just fog and other people.
Many other people. They look smaller than usual. Is it because Giblet is human now not a small goblin? Maybe Giblet doesn't need others to defend him? Maybe he doesn't need Uthark and others to tell him what to do anymore? Maybe in new human body Giblet won't be clumsy anymore?

Amidst the ethereal ambiance of the Atlantis Nexus, a leader stood shrouded in intrigue. This mage, known for his profound wisdom and arcane prowess, whispered tales of the Gates, portals that led to realms unknown. With an air of determination, he decided it was time to venture beyond the confines of the Nexus. With a whispered incantation, he readied himself to harness the enigmatic power of the Gates. As the arcane words left his lips, the very fabric of reality seemed to waver, and the allure of uncharted territories beckoned.

describe unit “carrying his pet sheep”
 Part 1
 
Notices announcing the gate opening had gone up all over the city.  One paragraph caught the eye of a desperate  young sheep:
 
19:  Those departing may take their personal pets with them, if said pets appear on the Schedule of Allowed  Pets.  Appendix available at City Hall or on-line.
 
Our sheep googled <leave nexus regulashuns pets appendixesses>
 
At this point an annoying street factor, known to everyone as Popup, tapped her on the shoulder, interrupting her:
“Did you mean: Summon Wind Cleaners to clear your
carPETsof LEAVEs?  
I know a guy…”
 
<no>
 
“Very cheap! Throw in free APPENDIX removal with your next service…”
 
<you-know-who’s been asking after you Pop.  something about 20 silver you owe him…>
 
Popup magically disappeared and she was left in peace to study:
 
APPENDIX 32
Schedule of Alllowed Pets.
Dogs.  Cats.  Mice and Hamsters and the like.  Ravens, Owls, Parrots, Canaries and other small birds. Non-poisonous Frogs, Toads, Snakes etc.  
Fish in bowls. With water.
 
ALL OTHER CREATURES WILL BE CONFISCATED AT THE GATES WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
 
“No sheep”  sighed the sheep…

Rumors

...atheists say there is no Holden ...pacifists say that Holden does not attack first. 
...realistic are gathering an army and going to look for Holden until he found and exhausted them.
Joke about Holden
Sooo, how long until the assassinations begin...
Too many Filras divorced! They will devour all the sand in the desert! It would be necessary to catch the extra ones and recycle them for furs.
Confucius said: Never spend more than half of what you have. And don't hire expensive leaders unless you have enough means to train and feed them.
Rumour is that rumour is spelt wrong in the land of Atlantis
Noone makes it out alive!
IMHO, it is likely the most experienced players will do well. I suspect players like Tyranny will be a most excellent leader.
There once was a High Elf so vain,
With hair like a flowing champagne.
But when battling foes,
He'd strike silly poses,
And trip over his cloak in disdain!
It is said that elves are the cause from the expected cataclysm. Their treacherous manners have offended the Gods!
The church of the Holy Deed is not Holden.  --Faction97
There have been sightings of mysterious activity in the great swamp.
The dragons are luring in the dungeons and ready to eat you all!
he-he-he...
Rumor has it that there is a cave where a blind man lives and eats his poop.
Some believe in the existence of underground crypts where forbidden knowledge is kept away from prying eyes. These vaults contain powerful artifacts and ancient scrolls that can grant their owner the power of the gods.
