The Fall of Loria
Our cousins on Aniro and Leanon have recently been able to recover the Loria murder cube, related by Dissan Mac’Rinin, which contains an interesting detail of Atys, and especially Tryker, history. I’m not entirely certain why the event leading to the recovery of this amber cube hasn’t been staged on Arispotle yet… But hopefully it’s coming up.
In the dark days of Tryker slavery, while many of the carefree lakelands people were held and killed, Loria stood forward to lead the fight against the enslavers. Relentless she was, and her actions to free more and more Trykers soon became a hindrance to Matis business. Her resistance was a year old already, when the Duke of Tylini took action to strike her down. With the help of Karavan telecommunication devices, rare relics on Atys, the Matis prepared the hunt.
The paths Loria took in Prime Roots were discovered, and so was her hideout. An ambush was prepared in a gully she often took to safely circumvent more dangerous areas. When her pursuers caught up with her, she was cornered; Pebre Freldo, leader of the group, challenged her in the name of Jena, for not accepting the rule of established power. Loria became visibly confused at seeing Trykers among the ambushers. While Matis and Tryker troops attempted to strike her down, it was noticed that she never dealt a fatal blow to her kin, but pursued her Matis opponents to the end. This allowed some Trykers to deal severe injuries on her; she eventually had to flee, a skill at which she excelled.
When she came to her shelter, a Yelk gas trap was triggered, which caused her downfall. Dissan Mac’Rinin, who participated in the hunt and was there to witness her passing away, relates that, as she lied agonizing, she glanced at him and asked: “Why?” Why did Trykers participate in this heinous act?
Edit: the official event has been staged on Arispotle, the weekend of January 18, 2009 (see Riffy Rithy returns). Actual contents of the Amber Cube have been posted on the official forum here.

You’re welcome. Although I do wonder, should the same event be staged on Arispotle in a day or two, whether this summary may be considered a spoiler… *winks*
