A historic moment for Puddleby

*

Today the meeting with the 'Brion Brothers was held as scheduled, and the much anticipated trade was finally completed with the handing over of 6 teleportation stones. More than 40 exiles came to witness and participate in this truly historic event. Here is a summary of the key points:

* We have traded 6 teleportation stones for a permanent portal to the Ethereal Plane, which the 'Brions are currently constructing. The portal will be anchored by kyuems on either side, and be housed in a protective structure.

* Seven keys will be given to us which will allow access to the portal. Who will be entrusted with these keys has yet to be decided. Melabrion said that he will also consider building a backdoor, guarded by Mud Golems, which will also allow access to the portal.

* The portal will be located on the island which the 'Brions are currently constructing. The isle is "nearly finished", and will be completed "within a few Zodiacs".

* As part of the agreement, the 'Brions will provide us with trainers to instruct us in the constructing and dismantling of our own portals. This training will be available to all mystics. Full knowledge of the current ether trainers is most likely required.

* Also as part of the agreement, the 'Brions will share anything that they learn about the teleportation stones through their studies. To quote Melabrion: "We will share what we find."

* The portal will lead to the fourth sphere of the Ethereal Plane, a Sphere yet to be explored by any exiles.
