NORTHERN MARKETS

After the clerics approval, Owl was sent from Petaigon Base to the Waskatina Magic Academy, one of New Saskatchewan’s well reputed training centers for practitioners of magic. Waskatina campus was the size of a university, and the many buildings housed acedemic, and physical programs the students went though.

Episode 89: Lethal Magic
The vast surface of the Lake of Time was frozen solid, and a thick dense fog set in. On the rocky shores nearby, plants of all sorts of alien species sprouted, and grew, but they, too, appeared frozen stiff.
The surface of the lake didn’t look like it was covered in ice, more like water, but stopped in a photograph.
Like miniature mountains, the waves by the shore stretched along, about 5 feet apart like dunes of water, covered in a forest of droplets.

Episode 87
Dawn found the KOE high above the Kashkun mountains (80,000 feet above sea level). The instruments onboard picked up on extra radiation from the Sun and space, and as soon as the Sun came up, Ylin had to adjust the gloine-phol system to filter out the harmful radiation and UV light.
The sonar system produced confusing images and maps of the mountains, and they had to change the flight path several times to avoid cities and towns. Right now they were flying past Kashkun City.

Episode 85: Hasty Departure
The door to the hangar slowly swung open, and the crew of 7 fugitives snuk in slowly. They all had to sneak their way into the Academy’s aviation school and hangar from the pureblood village over at the Keewatin Branches.
And here they were: Whiskey, Cheech, Rusty, and Chuck, all former cops in the Kerning City Police’s SWAT division;
Ylin Arla, level 98 mage, deserter and former member of the CCA, the magicians’ equivalent of a police force; Jango Alyth, level 70 ranger, and deserter from the Justice Arrow, and at the time being, still captive. With them was the scrawny street magician Meeka Starla, a refugee from Kerning City who Rusty saved from the wrath of the JA.

Part 3: Magic Security
As history shows, the Innisfailean magicians have had to fight to defend themselves from many enemies whom threatened their existence.
In the middle ages, the magicians were forced to fight the Shareneians in a series of bloody wars spanning a period of 250 years. They were forced to fight the Angel invadors and the hordes of Balrogs whom threatened to destroy Ellinia.
From the 1700’s on, the magicians had to fight the Justice Arrow, and in the Maple War, they fought off the Sino Army.

Episode 82
Jailbreak
Satharn, Winter 31
4:15 AM
The giant tree housing the CCA’s base had five decks built around it. Each deck went all the way around and were five floors separate from eachother in height. Each deck connected via suspended bridges to platforms on other trees.
It was early Saturday morning, and the bright moonlight seeped its way through the foliage of the giant leaves and flowers of the treetops above.
A group of five guys scampered their way up the bridge to the second deck from the bottom. These guys all used to be in SWAT teams until the JA took out the entire police force.
Chuck stopped them 3/4 of the way and they all hit the wood on their stomachs. He slowly crept up to the end of the bridge and peered over. Two CCA arch mages stood guard, watching the treefort city with narrow eyes. There was a pair of archmage guards at each bridge on the platform. They stood vigilantly, with their staffs up, ready to fry the hell out of anything they percieved as a threat.
“Dam!” Chuck cussed. “There’s guards everywhere!” he whispered. ” Whiskey, you got that sleep potion?”
A scruffy looking guy from SWAT Magic Control slowly belly-crawled. “Right here.” he said, pulling out spray bottles and passing them to the other three guys. The whole 5 man team were dressed in usual clothes rather than their SWAT gear.
“If you want my guess, this stuff’ll knock them out for a good five minutes, and that’s not a lot of time. Each bottle has enough for good sprays, so thats 25 between us. We go together, we can’t split up.” Whiskey explained.
“Why can’t we just use the sapper?” Cheech asked.
“This is not like back home, guy!” Chuck hissed. “We’re simply here to get Rusty and that ranger and split! Karl said no casualties!”
“Aw come on, those are archmages, this thing won’t kill them! I got it set to tap them and make them unable to cast magic, we go in, cheap-shot them, run in, grab those guys and get out!”
“Sapping archmages is an act of war! Sap them, and you will compromise everyone’s safety!” Chuck hissed back.
“The mayor surrendured to the Magic Council in hopes for aid and refuge for all of us here and back in Kerning City. Total unconditional surrender, and we’ve been ordered to stand down while they figure out where to have us fight. You sap those archmages, and that will be it! They will not help our boys back home and they would just as well kill everyone back at camp! They will destroy us all before you know it!” Whiskey fumed.
NORTHERN MARKETS Season II
Episode 81: Job offer
Aoine (Wednesday)
Winter 28 (Jan 27)
10:12 AM
Jango Alyth was locked up in a dark cell deep inside the giant tree where the CCA’s base was carved out.
The cell was 7ft long, 5ft wide, and 6 feet high. There were no windows in here and when the thick door was closed there was absolute darkness. Over the last two days, Jango was interrogated, and tortured alot. He was zapped, fried, frozen and posioned, and many of the mages just beat the crap out of him with their staffs. They even rubbed mana fuel in his eyes and they burned like hell.
Broken ankle, twisted wrist, and bruised all over, Jango was dragged down here and locked in this tiny cell without food or water.
MapleSAP Special: Magicians
II– History of Hatebreeding
The year was 1518 when the Nordic ships reached the beaches of present-day Lith Harbor. They clashed with the natives on the shores and a quick battle broke out. Folllowing the dispute, the Nords and natives quickly agreed to the Lith Harbour Treaty- in exchange for supplies and trade, the natives surrendured the 8 mile X 4 mile stretch of land to the Nords who built the fort and harbour.
Lith Harbour was used as a post for the Nord sailors en route between distant lands, and given their country’s heavy situation, no plans for expansion were established, although surveys were conducted.

Magic Radiation+ Biological Analysis
To understand magicians, we have to take the first step in finding out what the term means, and how magicians actually differ from purebloods and hackers.
The word ‘Magician’ itself came from the Greek word ‘magiko’ which was used to identify people who had supernatural powers. For hundreds of years, the word magician became a widely used term for people who could perform tricks from basic illusion (no actual power involved) to sorcery [Wikipedia].
The term ‘magician’, however did not reach MapleWorld until the 19th century. Early settlers called magicians either witches, sorcerers, etc.
