The Zardian
Literature & Lore
EST.
2007
Greetings and salutations fellow bookworm! At long last, our inquiring minds meet again! It has been over a decade since we last congregated at Maya's Librarium. Seeing you again has certainly brought back many wonderful and nostalgic memories of the times we probed the inner minds' of the men, women, and moglins behind the AE games. Now that we are finally back together, we must continue our quest for answers! After countless years of collecting dust in the back of the Librarium, I have personally "dry-cleaned" all copies of The Zardian to ensure a safe, dust-free reading experience. Why? You may ask. The last time the Librarium had a workplace accident happened when Xan visited to borrow an old tome from the 'Unpopular Demand' section. The thick cloud of dust from the dusty old tome triggered his pyromaniacal sneeze, which set the entire bookshelf alight! Fortunately, parts of the Librarium were covered by Gravelyn's Unlife Insurance Bond. Unfortunately, paper isn't fireproof, but I heard Warlic is working on a solution. Anyhow, that is a story for another time! To get you started on your journey, have a quick read of the introductory guide below.
The E-Zine is an archival collection of the original e-magazine which ran from 2007-2010. Here, you will find the majority of the e-zine's content. There are over 40 issues and 500 articles for you to discover! Almost all articles are accounted for, with 1% succumbing to Pae's digestive tract. The team is actively working hard each week to deliver the remaining issues and articles for you to enjoy! Until then, we hope you find the articles you are looking for!
The Librarium is a collection of other literary pieces across all AE Games that were not featured in the original E-Zine. After all, it has been over a decade since The Zardian's last publication. There are many fascinating stories and adventures throughout Lore that Maya has archived in her Librarium. Here, you will find a selection of books, short stories, and other literary works to fill your curious minds!
The Editorial is where all the latest news, updates and announcements from the legacy team will be posted. Currently, you will find the Alumni listed here - honoring all the past writers and contributors of this legendary magazine!
Well! This orientation should suffice. If you require further assistance, I will be back in my office, continuing my investigation for answers the inquiring mind seeks to discover. A moglin never sleeps when there are answers to be found. After all, "A Chronicler's Work is Never Done!"
P.S. Do NOT poke the Gecko!
***
To all the readers across the far lands of Lore, we welcome you to The Zardian with open arms... and open books! Wherever your literary journey takes you, know that your next adventure is only one page turn away! We hope you enjoy a pleasant stay at Maya's Librarium and find the stories you are looking for. We wish you happy readings with your literary endeavours. So sit back, relax, and as always…
