Teledahn Reluctance

I slept in Relto again and took breakfast in Eder Kemo under the hanging trails by the rotating monolith. It was such a refreshing start to the day with the warm sun beating down and the intermittent rain and thunder seeming to cleanse the garden.

I sit now, before the totem that leads to Teledahn in my Relto. I have put this off for long enough but I cannot ever find enjoyment in journeying around Teledahn.

I shall seek to run through as quickly as possible and might just stop for a bit to see if Shroomie wants to come out and play...

Enjoying Kadish Tolesa

The vast forest of Kadish Tolesa became my home for the day yesterday. It's such a wondrous Age with its giant trees and ruined buildings. I cannot help but wonder if Kadish himself designed the buildings as ruins or if the destruction has been caused by the growth of the trees.

The sounds of the forest betray its lifeless appearance yet I have never seen anything to suggest there is life there.

It reminds me of Relto. Deserted, calm and quiet. Such a restful place.

Gahreesen & the KI

Now that I have time once again to visit here, I noticed today that I haven't been to retrieve my KI so I decided to journey to Gahreesen.

Gahreesen is a favourite Age for me. I'm always awestruck by the size, complexity and beauty of the engineering there.

The low rumble in the linking chamber is a welcoming sound indeed. It is strange to hear after so long, and with the distant bird-song above too. Marvellous!

The KI machine is not far...

Strange, the KI has somehow restricted itself to two functions: an Imager and Great Zero coordinate tracking. The KI-mail and In-Cavern Network functions appear to have been disabled. Have the DRC been in to check the machine? Or have they done something to the Great Zero? Perhaps the KI dispenser has developed a fault or maybe the DRC have made this restriction to stop explorers communicating with one another? Who knows...

I can check that out later. Anyway, with the communication component disabled, it shouldn't be possible to track the KI's that are in use. That's a good thing as we explorers are really not meant to be here...

I linked to a balcony in Ae'gura from a Bahro stone in Gahreesen.

It is quiet.

Usually, other explorers can be seen going about their business but now, the place is empty. I didn't even see the blue, radar-like sweep of the Great Zero. This leads me to think that the DRC have shut it down while the cavern is closed.

Wary of being in a public area, I linked back to Relto to continue my explorations of Gahreesen.

Breakfast in Eder Kemo

I opened the door in Eder Kemo yesterday. Upon being linked to the Bahro cave in the stars, I immediately started recording the speech given by Yeesha. It will be useful later.

Relto is beginning to come alive again. The newly moved in fireflies are prancing around and things are beginning to grow again.

I slept in the hut here on Relto last night. My new sleeping bag was certainly enough to keep me warm but I wouldn't like to be doing this on a regular basis - yet!

The two Ages of Eder Gira and Eder Kemo are now on my bookshelf so I can visit whenever I feel the need.

The water in Gira is quite warm, probably due to all the geothermic activity. This makes the waterfalls a nice place to have a wash. Unfortunately, the pools aren't deep enough to go swimming in but there are other places I can do that.

Breakfast consisted of a small picnic in Eder Kemo before returning home for a few days. I will come back in a week or so and I might try taking a trip to Gahreesen in my next visit.
