To further aid such a project I thought it might be good to compile a list of all those mortals who in the campaign are currently questing for Immortality. Also added are any beings of an exalted status who may be confused with immortals. IMMORTALS OF THE KNOWN WORLD - NEARLY IMMORTALS Barimoor: MU36 questing for immortality in the sphere of Energy. GAZ 2 gives a detailed account of where Barimoor's plans for immortality stand as at 1000 AC. It also guesses that it will take about two centuries for the plans to be completed. (GAZ 2, page 49) Chuarbhidhe: Chuarbhidhe is a pooka who has attained an exalted status and is probably the Monster Ruler for pookas. (PC1, page 53) Etienne d'Amberville (Rad). Although I do not have Mark of Amber it seems that one of the outcomes could leave Etienne as a mortal who would then be subsequently questing for immortality. Kaladan (The Masterharper): M36/WTI21 questing for immortality in the sphere of Entropy. There is no indication on how long Kaladan has been questing for immortality nor how long he has to go, most of the problem here of course stems from a lack of information on the path to Entropic immortality. (PC4, page 6) Leo Variantia (Shapechanger): F34/T18/M14/C13/WTI36/WFO13/WBA9/WBE10 uesting for immortality in the sphere of Matter. Leo has been questing since about 500 AC and as of 1000 AC is on his final quest. There is every possibility that by the present, 1014 AC, that he has achieved immortality. (PC4, page 8) Mylertendal: MU36 questing for immortality in the sphere of Energy. She started questing for immortality about 900 AC although she is no hurry to attain it. Because she has a magically extended life of about 255 years she quite possibly died during the Week Without Magic 1009 AC and there is a good possibility that she may not have been subsequently wished back to life. (DotE book 1, page 46) Travestis: 34TT/10D questing for immortality in the sphere of Entropy. Travestis is a treant who is part of an adventure seed in PC1. The idea of the adventure is to stop Travestis blighting part of the Canolbarth Forest and thus completing the testimony part of his quest. The end of the little adventure would probably have seen the death of Travestis. I on the other hand prefer the little adventure to never have happened. If Travestis had a hand in the Shadow Elves invasion of Alfheim then this may be considered to be completing the testimony part of the path, I believe that the negative view of the help he had in achieving the testimony would be offset by the larger than necessary area of blight caused. If Travestis is allowed to survive careless adventurers and also have the blighting of Canolbarth Forest to account for his testimony then that leaves him in 1007 AC with only his task to complete before he achieves immortality. There is no indication how long this would take. (PC1 part II, page 15) Shawn Stanley I am a QHQGMEEEBBGAU Mystaran s9406058@student.anu.edu.au http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/5304
