Xaositect SurpriseMarks New Cycle Blood War Culler

Killed in OutlandsMephit Returns Remains

THE ASHEN REMAINS ofculler Daaras Intwood werereturned to his family from theOutlands yesterday afterIntwood was lost following aBaatezu led incursion into TirNa Og. Intwood was bestknown for his insightful anddetailed reports on the events ofthe Blood War which hecovered over the past 70 years.Intwood has been roundlypraised by many bloods in Sigil,including several Factols, forhis ability to reveal the dark onthe Blood War and for hiscourage tracking fiendishactivities into deadly lowerplanes such as the Grey Waste,Carceri, Gehenna and theAbyss.Intwood was killed in the

midst of gathering the latestchant on the Baatorian/Riganinvasion into the Outlands andhis final missives to SIGISindicated that he was on theverge of discovering theunderlying purpose of theBaatezu-led force. Daaras

Intwood's younger sisterMaija, a scribe in the Fraternityof Order, told a group of wellwishers that her brother died inthe noble act of researching oneof the great secrets of theMultiverse - the truth behindthe BloodWar."My brother dedicated, and

ultimately sacrificed, his lifepursuing the nature of theconflict that has defined thelower planes for aeons," saidMaija Intwood. "The people ofSigil have benefited greatlyfrom his years of service. Donot mourn for my brother, forhe has surely joined with hisbeloved Oghma in the House ofKnowledge."Speaking with Maija after the

announcement, SIGIS learnedthat Daaras Intwood's remainshad returned under somewhatominous circumstances.Yesterday, shortly before

peak, Maija Intwood said shewas visited by a Dust Mephitcarrying a silver urn. "When Iopened the urn I found a pile of

ashes and my brother's symbolof Oghma," said MaijaIntwood. "I knew immediatelyhe was lost. The mephit startedspeaking to me telling me hisobnoxious, pompous name'Gauntwing the something orother' but I was so upset I couldbarely grasp what he wassaying. From my readings, Iknew the mephit was a threatfrom the Lower Planes but Ihave no idea why it was sent tome or from whom. My brothermade a lot of enemies on bothsides of the Blood War simplyby reporting the truth. I suspectsome fiend recognised him anddecided to put him in the deadbook."A wake will be held two days

hence for family, friends andfans of Daaras Intwood at theCivic Festhall at three afterpeak. Daaras Intwood will bes o r e l y m i s s e d b y h i scompanions and colleagues atSIGIS who have benefited fromhis wit, charm, courage and

insight for many years. (sk)

Poetry

Anarchist's Delightby Phill Howard

Without truth, without meaning,Without struggle, without screaming,Submission to the InstitutionHomogeneous solutionThey're all against you!They're eating your soul!They're shoving you downA bottomless hole.

NO!

Fight back! Fight back!Surprise them and attack!Tear down their nonexistent rulesShow the high-ups they're all foolsDon't give in to subjugation.Free the oppressed of every nation!Start it fast or start it slowRevolution is the key, you know.The Factols want your loyaltyTo the Abyss with them! Join with me!Together as brothers we'll push 'em back

The Death of a Sensateby Ruin deKaye

Can you hear it? Listen gently,As it whispers so intently,

Murmuring of darkened lore.

Do you see it? Watch it closely,As it tiptoes so precisely

And moves to close and bar the door.

Can you touch it? Feel its texture,As it pours the acid mixture,

A toast to you, and so much more.

Do you taste it? Drink it down,A bitter draught, without a frown,

As it burns you to the core.

Can you smell it? Vile decay,As Death's fingers gently play,Upon the rudder to Styx's shore.
