"Today fans we have the most awaited development in the WWS. The great and awesome showdown of Grymm and Bloodlord to decide who the true lord of cats will be. Our heros discovered that everyone else on the side of Bloodlord were going to show up there at the same time which would result in a new divine entity called Soulist telling the dieties of magic to remove their grace from Shattyr. Our hereos thought this sucked so with the help of the Mistress of Deceit, they managed to distract Bloodlord, imprison the Lord of Murder, prevent the Devourer of Dreams intervention, and keep the new Jhaxx busy hunting missing gloves. In the end Grymm came out ahead along with the help of his friends and the snake people, unfortunately an elf known as Xarran, or Xero as the new nickname is rumored to go, helped fuel some evil vampiric blood entering the ley lines of Shattyr. This resulted in some changes in magic, the extent and how of has not yet been determined by our undercover research team.

Furthermore the city of Ashincar has been sealed off. No one is being allowed in or out of the city under penalty of death. Apparently according to some information provided by an Istian priest, who we shared some golden herbs and drink with, Ashincar is suffering a severe plague from a metal that was buried there. So far no one seems to know who is responsible for this atrocity but we are aware that the Ravenites are assisting the city to their fullest capacity to help keep of the peace and make sure no one attacks a city unable to defend itself. Although who would want to take control over a city that is sure to give you a disease by just living there is beyond us. Marcus is rumored to be on a blood hunt that would do a Jhaxian proud. And finally we leave all you glorious fans of the WWS on this note, there seems to be a close coming to the turmoil that has laid waste repeatedly to this beautiful world, as the gods, whose nature and minds we can not possibly hope to fathom, are gathering for the final pow wow to put an end to the heavenly mess.

Letter from the Editor: Due to the nature of the summer season, and that there is no current role playing going on at the moment, we here at Saviors & Destroyers will be taking a break from putting out a regular newsletter. We will still have special editions should anything exciting happen, but we are expecting a rather quiet summer. If there is anything you would like to see posted here I am offering the summer as a time for the fans. We here are offering to post whatever is sent to us provided it is not filled with gratuitous sex, violence, or profanity that might offended the millions of adoring fans. We will make absolutely no changes and you shall receive recognition for anything that is sent in. We look forward to hearing from you. Until next time this Yuki Katsuragi reporting live from the WWS."

"Welcome back everyone to the WWS, or the Wonderful World of Shattyr. Today in the WWS there came upon us an end to perhaps one of the greatest mages to have ever existed. Some called him traitorous. Some plotted against him foolishly. Some cursed his name behind closed doors when they thought he wasn't listening. Some praised the very air he breathed. Some swore he was a savior while others swore he was evil incarnate himself. We here with Saviors and Destroyers have nominated him as the greatest Savior and Destroyer of all time. His name will be the first of only a select few to live on in infamy in our great hall of those who both saved and destroyed without losing the balance. Today was the day that Mourn Reaper passed away with a great big bang. Big Brother M decided the time had come to move onto new pastures. We send a huge thanks and good tidings on his journeys to a man whose name has earned its place in the history books of the WWS. The fight was glorious and short with appearance made by Orcuss, a solar, and a unicorn. Three mages named Moment, Guardian, and Six all helped the group consisting of Lore, Kayla, Sangre, Delvadar, and Patricia Knorr. The only casualties were Mourne and Patricia Knorr and a whole hell of a lot of magical items. The fight ended in a huge blinding experience that sent Big brother M flying well into the next lifetime or two.

Furthermore the group took a journey into space with Mercy in search of Sangre's child Kymbreyl. This was not a fun journey for any of them, forced stasis never is. Using some nifty tricks pulled out of their hats, the superstars made their way back to Thornclaw with the ship and all. Deciding that Wrath was obviously a more tricky and treacherous punk than what they originally thought, our fearless hereos need only to find the next location to rush into again. Sangre has sworn to make him a eat a body part that is simply not suitable for us to repeat to our fans of this wonderful newsletter. On that final note the lord known as Jhaxx arrived in Thornclaw to give greetings and fetch his horse Stormwind. Following Shadow as she makes her way to the Jungles of Chaffar for the showdown arrival of Grymm with Bloodlord. Tune in next week for the conclusion of this next major battle of the divine in the WWS, this is Yuki signing off into the great big yonder of the huge celebration party being held in honor of the one and only Big Brother M!"

"Good Day to everyone! This is Yuki reporting live from the 252 level of the Abyss. Let me tell you this place has underwent some severe changes over the last few hours. As far as we can tell this level along with a few others have seen a change of hands. A short while ago we witnessed our band of awesome superstars fleeing while the getting was good with silly grins on their faces. We witnessed first hand as the entire plane underwent a shift from a rather boring, droning blue to angry and upset red flared with emotional displeasure. But hey we figure if your home was used as your prison you would probably be upset too! Anyway the final fight was stupendous, the diety known as Phere turned out to be a demon in disguise, and a little one at that. Our superheroes quickly cleared out the trash of goons that this punk demon had protecting him. Now mind you the superstars had literally blasted their way directly through the castle walls taking out most of the worthless minions stupid enough to get in the way. So needless to say the goons should have been smarter and gotten out while they still could, but only the six armed man was that intelligent and the rest of the other goons bit it hard. Also Sangre suffered a great change of heart during the fight as Ameranth showed his true path of love and goodness so strongly that Sangre was persuaded to take up the cause of Solistra once again. Everyone else came out virtually unscathed and we showed the 'little' demon Phere what it really meant to fear. The day was apparently wrapped up in Spineridge forest in a final meeting with Invictus, the multicolored diety. The only other major rumor of note was that a divine joke had placed lettering warning against sleeping with Sangre on her arse, "Abondon all hope all ye who enter here" Until next time folks this is the Saviors and Destroyers crew signing out until the next adventure into wonderland."

The screen appears black, but there are sounds of shouting, music, and general merry making. All of a sudden the screen lights up and there can be seen lots of gaggles of people in various modes of undress and drunkeness strewn about the large hall. The view is suddenly titled sharply upwards and soft cursing you should never repeat in front of your mother is heard. Moments later our beautiful and daring reporter comes into sight, her miffed look swiftly becoming a dazzling smile even as her hair and clothes look somewhat mussed.

"Good day adoring masses! Today I would like to start with one our famous history person quotes. The reason being that history was just made today folks and let me tell you the parties are in full swing all across Shattyr as word spreads like wildfire to everyone. Anyway our famous person is Mao Tsung."

MAO TSUNG SAID CHANGE MUST COME. CHANGE MUST COME THROUGH THE BARRELL OF A GUN.

"Well folks that saying was very true early this morning in Shattyr provided that you define that gun as a long lost diety and some of that diety's persuasive friends. It was an apparently emotional rollercoaster of trials and discussions and threats and finally the rollers and bullets clicked into place and they were shot right out of the barrell gun of change to remake the weave, defeat Magerhee, restore the balance and finally to remove the biggest pain of all S.A.I.N.T. So let's give a cheer for our fearless heroes both living and dead who have given everything they had and more to pull off the biggest shinanagan ever yet in the history of Shattyr. Others such as Finn the 1st and Luna have been seen walking the streets of Thosendahl. Kimber and Lorissa stepped unto the porch of the Crossroads for an afternoon of peace and quiet. Rhunestone and Calis are rumored to be out and about wandering behind the scenes once again. North rescued her child from the hunters and returned home from the lair of the Great Serpent. All in all it wasnt a bad days work. Well fans we would love to continue this but we have some long earned partying to participate in ourselves so until the next show, let the party go on. This is Yuki Katsuragi reporting live from the main hall of Thornclaw Keep where there was rumored to be a host of overpowering dieties in residence just minutes before this party broke out and spread to everywhere else. Thanks for the support!"

Welcome back to Hell or better known to the people that exist here as Shattyr. My name is Yuki Katsuragi. Fist of all we would like to extend a huge apology to all our faithful masses and masses of followers. Also we would like to inform our ever waiting fans that this production crew will be up and running again starting this week. The reason for the delay is that the ceo of our operation found out some surprising news of pregnancy and so pulled all of us out of the field for a big pow wow. Needless to say everything is back in operation and we will be starting our live reporting one again. Now on to the show after that brief interlude.

When last we met, our fearless heroes were searching around the area of the most beautiful archmage in Shattyr for some secret hidden lab of sorts. After succeeding in rerouting the machine of Lord Null to go terrorize the arctic in his jet, there was a broadcast message of sacrifice and near success, our group was able to discover they needed to reach this lab before the enemy did. This lab was formerly owned by another archmage although not quite as gorgeous as Whynn according to recent polls, and Sangre's critique. Finally after finding the place filled with those hunk of junk metal pieces, and putting them in their place, the junk pile of course, the heroes suffered some zappingly powerful magic before opening the secretly hidden loom to find...drum roll please... the hidden lab full of goodies. What was the most interesting part though was the discovery of a buried spaceship, and proceeded to foolishly start running around the ship and start opening doors. This would have been fine had our group of fearless heroes chosen a door less hostile prisoners entrapped within. The magic mountains are no fun place to place around in but are even less so when you have hostiles in front of you, behind you, and everywhere around you. Sangre wandered off during the group fruitless wanderings and discovered that the ship was set to self-destruct. Everyone else was transported out of there but Big brother M and Sangre. Black scorpion machines attacked them and all that was left after a useless acid blast was Sangre's head and Sandy, her friend stayed and guarded her stuff as they went to Twilight as the 100 arrows of Nova exploded the ship and mountain into a huge volcano of mass destructive force. It was a sight to behold and we are sure pissed off the enemies chasing them. The rest of the heroes proceeded to arrive in the infamous underdark once again and managed to destroy the machines main power source in a host of good exploding fun. Some individuals were lost this day of sacrifice but multitudes more were saved and the balance was shifted one more.

A year later all the heroes returned from their various places and met in Thosendahl, the city of intrigue. The big revelation was that after braving the nuclear waste dump of Alcator, the idiots had missed something there. Well our group of heroes put it to good use and out of that in combination with a candle there was Sangre pregnant again only through Richaan this time. Their love was strong and pure and for no other. So for their honey moon they went to the Magic mountains again and met up with some old Castanian buddies of Sangre and a group of ten monks joined with our group of fearless heroes to put a stop to the insanity. Unfortunately while trying to take a shortcut the group was put smack in the center of the ancient and desolate city of Wyrmspire. Now let me tell you even we, hardened reporters that we are, were creeped out by the sights of that ruined city. They wandered for a bit until figuring out they needed to be heading a different direction and so they did and then got attacked by a diety know as Tiamat, whom Sangre had fought previously for to create the sword formerly known as Vengeance. Fury fired a bolt into the heart of enraged and crazy T but that failed to stop her. Sangre's child was dying as was Sangre so she dropped the pretense and destroyed the diety anime fashion with an arrow of slaying anything. Of course this resulted in the Compact being broken the Maghere arrived on the scene to claim the child. Sangre was mortal again, the power short lived went to the child who was then sacrificed to the triple goddess. It was a sight to behold. A column of blue light reaching up, up and away until nothing else could be seen. The party was literally blasted off the island as the war began between gods.

Our heroes regrouped, resupplied themselves and then headed off to attack the lair of the enemy. Magic stopped working properly so they transported themselves through the use of the nine gemed belt, owned by dreamers and others alike. Arriving at the gaping maw of doom, the heroes met up with some allies. Meredith an old ally of Sangre's from the Shadow Wars. Another two older veterans of world saving were Ameranth and Hishiro. So two Solistrians and a samuri joined up with our group of fearless heroes. Heading into what is better know as the Labyrinth of Madness, copyright and all rights reserved, our group proceed to start gathering sigils to be able to take out S.A.I.N.T. and perhaps a few other things along the way. Meanwhile on the flip side of the real world, gods have descended to the prime and are in hiding, or are attacking old enemies now that Compact has been broken. Whynn and Elise still fight to rescue the children, as Castille guards their rest so they may cast spells yet again in the never ending struggle against the darkness of Shadow mages reborn. Big brother M has taken up a new calling as the Avatar and went against the newest diety on the block, Invictus. Calling himself the diety of trade, he has taken over Demonholme and proceeded to call all the demonists into line. The new Avatar has been running a muck, destroying a few things here and a few things there, so all and all has kept quite a few people busy and there are now rumors that he is diety hunting. So folk that's a wrap and we hope you enjoyed the show. Tune in next week for more details on our group of fearless heroes. Finally we want to offer this week's article in tribute to all the people, Rhunestone, Leona, Helga, Grey Spider, Sapphire, and many others, who have sacrificed everything in order to save this wondrous world. Not because they had to, nor wanted to, nor for glory, nor for ego, nor for honor, but because at the moment of choosing, they knew it was the thing to do. So here is to them, and everyone else who really stands for what is truly most important. This is Yuki signing out until next week.

Salute! This is Yuki reporting live from the city of Alkatore where a huge battle is raging. The massive destruction, death, and mayhem is insane. We believed this kind of thing only possible in the land of power, with power rangers and power anime and people power, but such is not the case.
*a smoking, squawking chicken goes flying past in the background*
There is a behind me a long silver spire that has projected an impenetrable globe of 100 mile diameter. Were it not for the non-intervention alpacci peace accords we could loan our vibrator knives to slice through it like glue, but alas we are bound. Also we know through our sources that Rennard and Sheerena were visiting the fine, soon to be destroyed city, on a diplomatic mission from Thosendahl.
*large explosions are heard nearby and Yuki is covered in dust. Wiping off her face and spitting she snaps her fingers and disappears only to appear a moment later spotless except for a smudge on her cheek.*
Based on the location of the explosions we are certain that at least several major nobles have been slain and/or captured, but we don't know who yet. Our sources also inform us that the mage's guild is totally surrounded by SAINT weaponry including battle machine spiders, scorpions, mole driller...., and an orb with eyes.
Yuki whips to the side quickly and points to off in the distance...
Oochie momma three large beholders unlike anything I've ever seen are rising out of the lake to aid Alkatore! Holy shikes hot man, two of them are nearly dead as weaponry on mass is being directed toward this new threat to the over indulged robotic street sweepers gone mad. On top of that sources are screaming at the desecration to the temple of Kereska. It is being torn apart so we figure that they are looking for something.

On a lighter note our fearless group of heroes discovered a couple new found tools in the lost city of Feyrun. Electricity seems to have a key along with one way trips to the Abyss which appears to be in no danger whatsoever. Well now isn't this interesting! An encounter with a hellipede, an angry toeless giant, and some ever appearing undead left our group none the worse for wear. Never fear masses you are not alone. Our group of stars has sworn to avenge and to stop this insensitive stupidity. Sandy and Sangre have sworn simply because it interferes with their sex lives. The Fearless leader because his family was destroyed. Saint K since it is killing her. I'rzula, well cause she wants to! Fury has reasons matching Richaan's. The other great venerated stars of Shattyr all have similar or the same reasons. A hunt is being called, the drums are pounding, and the bells are ringing. A lone pipe hits a single note in the distance in imitation of a horn. So gather around folks things are getting heated up and are sure to only get more venturesome.

"This is Yuki Katsuragi reporting live from," Yuki pauses for a moment and turns to someone off camera. "Pst. Where are we again?"

"I am not really sure, but we gotta make this quick!" replies a low male voice from off screen as an explosion is heard in the distance.

Yuki turns back towards the camera and plasters a smile on her tired face. "Well anyways we are not sure where we are at the moment faithful followers because the last few days has been a war zone everywhere we went. Just over this hill behind me was hit just the other day by several large explosions. The fight between factions seems to be continuing fiercely with any and all types of warfare being conducted. We apologize for the delay in our weekly newsletter to our adoring fans, but we wanted to surprise you. Our technician Rita has managed to hook us up to one of the transmitting wavelengths being broadcast worldwide. From now on we shall be broadcasting live from the frontlines, or as close as we can get anyway.
Reports from our information sources has been dark to say the least. Mistress Sandy was seen causing havoc in the famed city of Alcator in the region of the monumental Solystrian Temple. Herald Patricia Knorr apparently engaged Sandy in a fist fight brawl to unconsciousness. I am sure you can guess who the victor was from reputation alone. Sandy suffered a brutal beating from the gorgeous amazon Solystrian, only to later get hit in the pocket later by Patricia's ability to put away Dragon's breath like water. In other parts of the world, Fearless Leader and a tough group composed of I'rzula, Syl, and Fury went exploring the now empty estate of the once feared Lord Null only to send themselves on a one way ticket to the heart of another enemy faction. Narrowly managing to escape through a pin hole they got themselves back to Thosendahl safely. Kayla and Lore merely sat on the side lines having a good laugh at the rest of our heroes antics. Yet the struggle wasn't over yet!"

Suddenly a huge form loomed menacingly over Yuki, putting her in complete shadows. A mechanical voice was heard, "SCANNING INITIATED FOR LIFE FORM."
A blue light appeared on Yuki, as she quickly dived to the side, the camera following her movements.

"Dammit Brock what happened to you keeping look out for the big lumbering overated hunks of garbage! You were supposed to be jamming this location!" Yuki yelled while hitting a switch on her belt buckle of her jeans. Seemless metallic armor slid up over her body from out of nowhere. Yuki then pointed both arms at the scorpion like machine as it was turning its triangular three dotted laser spotter her direction. Snapping her wrists Yuki activated two small tubes from her fore arms and took aim. A double zoom sounded and in a flash there was nothing but a smoking crater with some smoldering metal left where the giant machine had been before. Touching an unseen panel on her stomach, Yuki's armor disappeared as fast as it had appeared. Frowning she turned back to face the camera.

"Sheesh what a distasteful response to some negative media. Some AI's are just a little too persistent for my tastes." Yuki sighed. A grin flashing across her face she continues her report to the faithfully watching masses."Our sources also tell us that our shining heroes nearly destroyed an important outpost, but had to retreat quickly into the earth or suffer termination at the all too capable hands of S.A.I.N.T., which we have determined stands for Somebody's Artificial Idiot Needing Training, as in potty training. This thing is causing more crap, and mess everywhere than anyone has had the mispriveledge of dealing with previously." Loud booming noises are heard in the distance, but appear to be getting closer.

Yuki hits her belt again and the armor appears. "Power up group. This is Yuki signing off till next week. Good luck everyone and thanks for your support. Stealth mode group, we are moving out now!"

The camera goes dim as Yuki can be heard asking, "Yo Brock, just what in the HELL were you doing staring at Rita's ass instead of keeping lookout? If those damn things weren't so bloody noisy and easy for our sensors to pick up we would have been made into human paste. Please Brock I like you so WORK now, and have SEX later ok?" A mumbled response is heard.
"Thank you. You know I love you." Yuki replied as the voices of our hard working journalists fade away.
