THE CLUES
------------------





1. Troops were sent, in many bands
To conquer far-off elven lands
But empires of both elf and man
Invaded back, and war began.
With many away, their strength was short
But still they held their mighty fort.
As rangers started to amass,
They locked the gates, to hold the pass.
The dragoons were few, but they were bold,
And knew they only had to hold
Out for a while - they'd soon grow
With reinforcements from below.





They waited there, behind the wall,
But that day Neriak would fall.
The forest trembled with a boom,
And cities toppled to their doom.
Neriak had just been sealed
But yet they fought, and would not yield.
No reinforcements, no supply:
In battle the dragoons would die.
Though Innoruuk was very proud,
Much mystery would soon enshroud
What they protected, and its fate,
Could there still be a clue, or crate?









2. Where many came to live and shop
Now dwell undead, who never stop
They no longer rest their joints
And do not need its wooden points.









3. There is a place that's rather great,
If you need to gather hate.
But do not fall into the pool,
Or you, too, might become a ghoul.









4. Inside is where the brothers meet,
But why? To fight? To scheme? To eat?
Stop in and find out what they think
And don't forget to grab a drink.









5. Where bears and bats once laid in wait
Is home now to three plants of hate
Some are short, and some are tall,
You will need to find them all!









6. Although they're only sold in here,
They're not a beast that we hold dear.
Alone, or grouped they can be found,
Scurrying upon the ground.








7. If you would earn an ancient scroll,
Then Neriak must be your goal.
But part of what it was is scattered,
Ever since the lands were shattered.
Collect one that is very old
Of silver, platinum, or gold.
8. An elf named Teah brought great shame
Upon the noble Teir'Dal name
He was just a common thief
Who stuffed himself beyond belief
His excess was of a degree
That he had lost all subtlety
Since all knew, the time was right:
To strike, and to remove this blight.
Teah's lesson soon would come
From a young elf in Freeport's slum
Who, being taught the ways of this,
First collected Shadow's Kiss.
Soon the fungus was distilled,
The first step in the plan fulfilled.
Aldera asked another stop,
At Kalraath the merchant's shop:
'A medium that one can eat,
Say it's for me, but be discreet.'
He asked what kind, and what it's for
Many things were in his store.
'Ingestible. Aldera pays.
She's teaching me our ancient ways.'
He gave it, with no time to pry
An answer from her as to why.
Aldera said, 'I need not ask
If you told what this will mask.'
Her lessons learned, the elven youth
Said she told Kalraath the truth.
'She's teaching me our proper arts.'
'That answer's true, and shows your smarts.'
And with the Shadow's Kiss within,
Now the last step could begin.
She had learned well. Her skills, they show.
To Lynsia it next would go.
He'd often steal things from her shop
That night he'd steal, and then he'd stop.
But careful - if one else would eat,
All this they would have to repeat.
A true Teir'Dal thinks of the cost,
If only now, the future's lost.
'One last thing to share with you:'
The Teir'Dal's loyalties were two.
Some stayed in Freeport, although bleak
The Thexians, though, said that's weak.



They would not live within that shack,
They strove to find their Neriak.
Those in the Alley wanted home
But knew there was no need to roam.
Grow strength and knowledge, day by day
Instead of throwing lives away.
The lesson placed, soon Teah learned
His unbecoming ways to spurn,
For the plan that they had hatched
Had led to Teah's quick dispatch.
Since the changes to the town
Kalraath's shop has been closed down.
But other merchants, through the gate,
Sell goods for learning ways of Hate.
Visit one of them, instead,
And buy what rendered Teah dead.









9. Hungry, wubbly cubes
Standing guard under Freeport
I must come hug you.
