The powerful dwar- ven psionicist of the Order wondered how many of this group would perish before graduating from the Nexus. Though each initiate possessed the potential to become as powerful as he, many would fail to handle the pressure and “commitment” the Order demanded of its members. Those who did not pass the rigors of Gulem’s trials wouldn’t leave the Nexus alive, since none but a graduate could know the exact location of the isolated academy. A member of last year’s class led the nine initiates to their chairs, Gulem turned his attention to this newest group of students. “Good morning apprentices,” said the dwarf, “I am Master Gulem. For the next year I will instruct you in aspects of psionic power you have never imagined. Before you can fix you must first learn how to walk. In this first year we shall explore the aspects of psionically empowered magic artifacts, magical items, and . ” A student in the front of the class, a lanky elf dressed much finer than the rest of the initiates interrupted protesting loudly, “What?! I came here to learn how to become a powerful psionicist, not study insignificant magical items created by lowly defilers! I wish to be moved up to the next cla . .<urk>” The bold student’s eyes rolled back in his head, and his body slumped unceremoniously to the floor. Several students swallowed hard and turned their eyes back to Master Gulem. “As I stated,” continued Gulem, “before a psionicist can learn the extent of his powers, he must study other aspects of the Way if he is to become a member of the Order. Ancient artifacts created eons ago possess psionic power which even the most powerful members of the Order cannot duplicate. The study of these are essential to unlocking the keys to the power. Psionic magical items are a tool created by and used by a psionicist in conjunction with the Way. The third topic of this class will be the newly discovered “living” items created by the halflings of the Blue Age. “The first we shall explore are the known artifacts of Athas. Several of these devices were created by Rajaat, creator of the sorcerer-kings and . .” Gulem’s les- son would last for the remainder of the day, and well into the evening-all the while the body of the elf child would lie on the floor, as a reminder to the students not to take their master’s teachings lightly, When the initiates returned the next day, the elf’s body was gone and their lessons on the artifacts of Athas continued. 3 Whats Contained Within Psionic Artifacts of Athas covers three subjects-powerful artifacts created thousands of years ago, new psionic and magical items unique to the DARK SUN campaign, and the rediscovered Life-shaped items created by halfling thousands of years ago. Chapter One deals with the known artifacts of Athas, including many powerful items created by the insane pyreen Rajaat thousands of.

Nuevo Mass Market Paperback Cantidad disponible: 6. My first dip into the Legacy side of the Star Wars universe and a fun read! Troy Denning. View 1 comment. It's a 20, year old galaxy, why not create new villains capable of fighting the Jedi Grandmaster? That seemed a bit misguided, especially considering how Luke remarks to himself how grown-up and mature Ben seems. This is a far cry from the Ben Skywalker personally groomed by Jacen Solo to become a security and strategy expert, who actually did reach a degree of hard-won maturity. Luke in the book rocks and has great plans in what he is doing and trying to achieve. The long-running Daala drama finally gets resolved to a greater degree. What happens in the Expanded Universe, makes a lot of sense, if you look at the six original films. They try to make it all spooky and enigmatic, but when you have no idea what the villain is capable of in this style, then there are no stakes, because you don't know what ridiculous thing they'll pull out next. Remember in this summer's blockbuster movie "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" when it was revealed that Hydra had been scheming for 70 years to infiltrated S.
