delight much in directing the apprentices to go to the library and read the scroll which held the
knowledge they did seek. Over the years, the library grew much, and it eventually held many times the
scrolls that it had begun with. And the other sages of the Realm did praise the Library of Fak and the
great sage Ray Kremer who had built it and filled it with scrolls.
Some time later, the great sage Doug Burkett found that he very much enjoyed the sermons given by
the other sages, but he was saddened because many of the sermons were given but once, and they
quickly faded from memory. And so Doug Burkett also began to set the sermons to page, his own and
those of the other sages also. At first he stored his scrolls in an annex of the Library of Fak, which the
great sage Ray Kremer was happy to provide. Later he took on an assistant, who built a separate
library in which to keep the scrolls, and this was the Library of TypLyst. And this library too was praised
by the other sages of the Realm, and they supported it by often bringing the great sage Doug Burkett
to hear sermons that deserved entry into his library.
Thus the two libraries stood throughout the ages, and they became known as two of the great stores of
knowledge of the known world.
Legends of the discussion groups: "The Roots of Power"
by Ray "Homer he ain't" Kremer [0:52, 12/31/01]
The great leviathans of the TI empire, the 89, 92, and 92 Plus, were much beloved by the apprentices.
Many of the apprentices desired the Roots of Power, but the leviathans only had the magik tokens for
Roots of Two Powers, and the apprentices did covet Roots of Greater Power. And they did wail and
gnash their teeth and cry out, "The smaller cousins of the leviathans do have a token for Eks Roots of
Power, which can be used to find the Roots of Greater Power. Where is the token for Eks Roots of
Power on the leviathans which are greater in every way?"
The sages of the land of 89 and 92+ delivered to the apprentices the sermon that the leviathans do not
know the token of Eks Roots of Power, but that the Roots of Greater power could be found through the
magik incantations of Reciprokal Exponents. And the sages did lament that the apprentices should
know this sermon already, and too many times do apprentices come to hear the sermon of the
Reciprokal Exponents. And the sages did once say, we should enscribe the sermon on a tablet, and
place the tablet on the tower overlooking the Realm of the discussion groups, who many pass through
to arrive at the land of 89 and 92+, and place torches on either side of the tablet so that all will read it
and never again ask to hear the sermon spoken aloud.
From atop Mount Texas, the great creator Paul King heard the sages, and did create the tablet of
Topik o' the Year, and he enscribed the incantations of Reciprokal Exponents upon it, and placed it on
the tower for all to see. But the tablet was of little comfort, for still far too many apprentices came
looking for the token of Eks Roots of Power upon the leviathans, and they did ignore the tablet unless
the sages pointed it out to them. And down through the ages, no apprentices did cause the sages to
shake their heads and rolls their eyes more than the ones seeking the Roots of Greater Power.
Lost Tales of TI Discusion Groups: Jason Adams, the Bezerker, the angry
by Forgotten Scribe [10:41, 1/6/02]
Long ago, there was an alliance, the name now forgotten, forming about a programing group. An over
zealous member posted multiple messages of anouncement in several different boards. The regulars
grew a little irritated about hearing about it so much and finally a nameless bystander spoke up.
