Strands of glowing multi-hued thread suddenly rise up before you, wrapping together to form a female
form. Burning in a flash of bright light, the threads fall away to reveal Atropos the Shearer of
Destiny.
-
Atropos of the Shears says, "I am the last of the Fates, Shug. My sisters have guided you well, but
now we must see if you can truly discover yourself and your destiny. There is a great treasure that
you must find that will answer all your questions of who you were, are and will be."
-
As the wind roars and bellows, sweeping across the surface of the seas, they become as flat, placid,
and reflective as a mirror.
-
Atropos is now your guide, and She will help you find your destiny.
You need to complete the following tasks to advance in the Fates of Lusternia quest:
 [1] How do I join a guild?
 [2] What are collegium quests?
 [3] I would like to know how to register my presence in the land.

Nihilists are the priesthood of Magnagora, and are tied to the demonic
plane of Nil, from whence they receive the powers of necromancy. While
nominally the spiritual leaders of Magnagora, they often focus on the
accumulation of material wealth and power for the city rather than more
esoteric concerns. Most adepts are accompanied by a demonic thrall sent by
a Demon Lord of Nil to help in their work.

Nihilists are a guardian archetype. Thus, they are required to take
HighMagic as a common skill before being able to study Cosmic magic. Once
having mastered Cosmic magic, the Nihilist then specializes in Nihilism,
allowing them to travel to the cosmic plane of Nil and make pacts with the
Demon Lords there. Their main secondary skill is Rituals, which when they

master will allow them to specialize in Necromancy, thereby enhancing
their unholy powers. At some point Nihilists choose either to take the Hexes
skill or to train in Tarot or to learn the science of Astrology. Nihilists
may take Enchantment as a trade skill.

Within Newton Caverns.
Throughout the location, small dancing flames flicker and spark. A muggy atmosphere surrounds this
wide and spacious cavern, though the comforting draught that floats in through the entrance relaxes
the damp air somewhat. Overhead, the ceiling hovers in a fine arch, high from the ground and resting
on heavy walls to either side. The rock runs a smooth, curving course from the highest point above
down to the dusty ground below where unusual, tiny tracks lead deeper into the foreboding darkness
of the caverns. Eerily, slight quakes occur at regular intervals, sending strange echoes bouncing
from the walls. A rough tunnel leads down to the northeast, whilst an expertly carved staircase
climbs upwards. Gnarled and bent, Atropos of the Shears waits here with balefully-gleaming shears.
You see exits leading northeast, up, and out.
