perusing excerpts of Gregory the Great’s Dialogi, and I am grateful to ''bomewish'' for having braved the journey outside of his tower in order to get me this material from a nearby abbey. Mr. Gregory’s description of the Christian afterlife illuminates so much about the seemingly misguided decision to allow Beowulf’s funeral to be one where his body is lost to ash. He speaks of an interim paradise – a place where there are two regions dedicated to punishment and two more pleasant and joyful regions! Beowulf’s retainers must have found solace in the belief that their king is simply waiting for them in one of the pleasant otherworldly planes. How quaint! I suppose there is some emotional value to the shortsighted decision to destroy a once-in-a-generation hero’s body, then. An interesting note to end this research dispatch on is that Mr. Gregory’s description of the regions does not show any clear geographical demarcations between the good and bad places, or explicitly explain what the rewards or punishments in their respective planes even are1. I am approaching this with a smidge of skepticism considering Beowulf’s passing into the otherworld…If there is anyone who could provide the perfect and stress-tested version of a virtuous soul to the pleasant plane, who else but Beowulf? I wonder if this project now has potential to contribute to theological discourse…how exciting would that be? logging off, BEED. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (text-style:"wavy-underline")[01. 02. 945 - RESEARCH DISPATCH – UPDATE 1: WELCOME!] Dear magical colleagues, I have been waiting for some very important news to be confirmed to me by the trusted sources I’ve sent out to the Geatlands for the last few days. Although this first post marks the beginning of my career as an amateur historian, it nonetheless brings me no joy to announce that Beowulf, King of the Geats, has died. How exciting! To know that my suspicions were correct, of course. After over fifty years and to the day of his incredible defeat of the monstrous Grendel, Beowulf has fallen in combat. Reports are murky at the moment, but I cannot wait to get details on the fight. Was he cut down by a Swede lordling? Did disease ravage through his hall? Perhaps yet another beast dared to encroach on the greatest hero of our age’s lands? And I ''will'' get the details. Through this new project site, I aim to produce a document that very well may be the first of its kind: A Recorded History of Beowulf and the Danes. An entire generation of peoples have lived their lives with a genuine, real-life epic hero in their midst. That must be immortalized. Stay tuned for further updates and please do not send this site to wizards out of the peninsula because I do not have the bandwidth for that user input.</p></div> </div> <mark>(colour:red)[[BACK TO INDEX ->index]]</mark> </html><html> <style> p1 { font: 100% MS Sans,serif; font-size: 40px; line-height: 1.5em; } p2 { font: 100% MS Sans,serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 1.5em; } </style> <p1><center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_4bb99d45cde545f78093a30650e73723~mv2.png" width="100px; height:150px">ABOUT THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_ef9be0bf33f94e4e82021d357aa0b9b8~mv2.gif"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_ef9be0bf33f94e4e82021d357aa0b9b8~mv2.gif"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <p2><center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_4bb99d45cde545f78093a30650e73723~mv2.png" width="100px; height:150px"></p2> (colour:red)[[BACK TO MAIN ->Winter 1 Main Day 2]](set: $dispatchdetail to true) <html> <style> .container1 { border: 2px solid #dedede; border-radius: 1px; padding: 10px; height: 450px; width: 85%; margin-left: 55px; margin-top:50px; overflow-y: scroll; background-color:#000; } .container2 { border: 10px solid #000; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 25x; height: 500px; width: 20%; margin-left: -130px; overflow-y: scroll; line-height: 10px; } .container3 { border: 5px solid #420909; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 35x; height: 300px; width: 20%; margin-left: -130px; margin-top: -45px; line-height: 10px; } /* Clear floats */ .container::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; } p{ font: 80% MS Sans,Serif; background-color:black; } p2{ font: 50% courier new; background-color:black; } p3 { font: 90% courier new; background-color:black; } .header { text-align: left; background: #000; color: white; font-size: 15px; } </style> <div class="container1"><h1 class="header">http://www.beedisonline.com/yikes.html<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_08e63127b00d4cb8b5ad1c14fc736719~mv2.png" style="float:right;width:60px"></h1><hr><p>The smell of royal flesh burning lovingly wafts through the air as thunder crackles and rain pours down, wailing wailing wailing. Covered in mud, clutching a handful of scrolls and trying not to slip and break their wiry little necks on a particularly daunting rocky spike, the two goblins narrowly dodge arrows as they make their way to BEED’s travelling vessel docked in a hidden cove on the far side of the beach. BEED’s dinghy covered in moss. RIM keeps dropping rune-covered rocks and wooden carvings, little trinkets and toys stolen from unshielded homes and distracted children. Another arrow flies, hitting the edge of his left boot. Seven captains riding, circling the drain of the Geat people’s future, weapons held high as they mourn their Lord. A dragon is pushed into the sea. The body floats uselessly by the shore, waves crashing, mythical blood seeping into the sand. The piercing sound of the Geat women wailing only seems to get louder as RIM and WORLD careen down the steep and rocky cliffside where an enormous funeral pyre burns and melts and destroys precious golden gifts wrestled out of draconic claws. Surely, no one would care if RIM’s scaly fingers reach for the ruby-encrusted bracelet lodged loosely near Beowulf’s limp hand covered in a lifetime of ring-gifts melting into his knucklebones. He promised to keep his hands to himself during the funeral, but one bracelet would not be missed, he thought. Not here, not now. WORLD yells at him through the storm-rain, begs him to leave the runes to their doom. Another woman cries out in pain above them. The fire burns brighter. RIM clutches his brother’s bloodied hand, jumps onto wet sand and barely glances at the way the sea-body engulfs the dragon as they hoof it to the boat.</p></div></div> <br> <h1 class="header">(text-colour:red)[[[[RESET PAGE->CHAPTER 1 UNMARKED FIXED]]]]</h1></html><html> <style> .container1 { border: 2px solid #dedede; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 10px; height: 800px; width: 100%; margin-left: 105px; margin-top:-850px; overflow-y: scroll; } .container2 { border: 10px solid #000; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 25x; height: 500px; width: 20%; margin-left: -130px; overflow-y: scroll; line-height: 10px; } .container3 { border: 5px solid #420909; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 35x; height: 300px; width: 20%; margin-left: -130px; margin-top: -45px; line-height: 10px; } .hero-image { background-image: url("https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_463686f857314d49a3a40d4005772a5b~mv2.jpg"); /* The image used */ background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Do not repeat the image */ background-size: cover; /* Resize the background image to cover the entire container */ opacity: 0.5;; } /* Clear floats */ .container::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; } p{ font: 75% courier new; padding:20px; } p2{ font: 50% courier new; } p3 { font: 90% courier new; } .header { text-align: left; background: #000; color: white; font-size: 15px; } </style><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_7a81b6f3c3354ed1be4ba18bbf0b0d18~mv2.png" style="margin-left:-85px"><br> <div class="container2"> <h1 class="header">THE MAGE CHANNEL</h1><hr> <p2>`[10:05:30] <grackle> `yeah its like super water resistant and everything</p2> <p2>`[10:05:31] <grackle>` i was also like, ok now THIS is good dirt to work with</p2> <p2>`[10:05:38] <bomewish> `dude that’s wild </p2> <p2>`[10:05:40] <bomewish> `and are you eating this yet</p2> <p2>`[10:05:42] <bannick>` Right, that is what I was going to ask. `[10:05:50] <grackle>` no yeah ive been eating it `[10:05:52] <grackle>` it doesn’t taste great but like, im literally solving the problem of ever having to cook food again so whatever lmao `[10:05:55] <bomewish>` lmaooooooooo no way `[10:05:58] <bannick>` Wow.

After rifling through some of the archival stuff RIM and WORLD brought over from their Geat trip, I realized that there’s a ton of documentation for me to go through while I compile this biography…which any researcher would consider a boon!!! And I do. So – for those interested in providing feedback for the manuscript, I have posted part of the first chapter in THE PROJECT section. Ignore the release date for now. I’m being optimistic with the short timeframe. I’ve given all of'' THE MAGE CHANNEL'' users permission to edit the document. Just make sure you’re using different ink colors (''grackle'' has claimed red already!!) Just bear with me while I’m still sketching out the narrative.

I. OF THE SITUATION OF THE SHIELDINGS, AND THE TOPIC OF INNATE HEROISM. `</big></big></head>` `<p>` Heorot, a great hall towering over the vast length and width of the Spear-Danes peninsula, gold-gilded and war-loved, stands tall and prosperous. The Halfdanes and their Geat Lord not only occupy most of the land but also the long-necked sea, so closely felt by the cliffs that overlook the deep water-grave that Scyld Scefing, the first true and pure Shielding, left his people in. A ring-giver beyond compare and natural warrior-king, Scefing achieved life-long rule and peace between clans, words so rarely afforded to men chosen for such greatness. We can easily imagine how a young Scefing arrived on the shores of his future destiny, cradled in a small bundle of cloth, his wooden vessel nestling onto the rough sandy beaches of what is to become the foot of the Great Heorot Hall, accepted as a gift from a faraway land or lord or the sea-serpent itself. That is our future king, the people will have said. This is the ring-bearer we have been waiting for. And what a bloodline followed! His son Beow held the fortress and in turn was blessed with princelings of his own: Heorogar, Hrothgar, and Halga. Having matched his father and forefather’s God-given skill in battle and in wisdom but also generosity, Hrothgar inherited from Beow the wealth of a joyous people. In return, Hrothgar built his people and his warriors and his gift-givers a place to celebrate and commune with each other in times of prosperity but also success. Heorot Hall was erected. Made of the finest wood and carved by meticulous hand-labor, this monument to the unbreakable spirit of the Danes housed Hrothgar and his champions for decades until the shadow-death of Grendel extinguished the fire-heat of that great house. Beowulf, eager for fame and soul-starving for a fight in the name of honor and glory, arrived on Hrothgar’s shores as terror gripped the land. This is our future king; this is the ring-bearer we have been waiting for. `</p>` (if: $dispatchdetail is true)[[[<img src="https://i.imgur.com/uqg8A3s.gif" style="height:300px">->SCENE]]] </p> </div> </div> </html><html><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_02a2ad35a94c440a97b4f9ad50f3987c~mv2.png" width="100%"> (text-colour:red)[ [[NEXT PAGE->PAGE2]]] <audio autoplay> <source src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav" type="audio/mp3" /></audio> </html><html> <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_49525af42020448b835a8f8368ad5833~mv2.png" width="100%"><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_f47710a00ba7488dbf535438cd1d955a~mv2.png" width="100%"> (text-colour:red)[ [[PREVIOUS PAGE->TYPEWRITER]]] (text-colour:red)[ [[NEXT PAGE->PAGE3]]] <audio autoplay> <source src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav" type="audio/mp3" /></audio> </html><html> <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_bc8f4891ec754b3ab8bd1489cdca162d~mv2.png" width="100%"><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_931305f4efd9481ba8e3337eb60486d2~mv2.png" width="100%"> (text-colour:red)[ [[PREVIOUS PAGE->PAGE2]]] (text-colour:red)[ [[NEXT PAGE->PAGE4]]] <audio autoplay> <source src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav" type="audio/mp3" /></audio> </html><html> <style> p1 { font: 100% MS Sans,serif;

But I digress. </p></div> </div> <mark>(colour:red)[[BACK TO INDEX ->index]]</mark> </html><html> <style> p1 {font: courier new; margin-top:50%; } </style> <p1> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> (if: $day6 is true)[(colour:red)[[RETURN TO MAIN.HTML ->Winter 1 Main Day 6]]] (if: $day5 is true)[(text-colour:red)[[RETURN TO MAIN.HTML ->Winter 1 Main Day 5]]] (if: $day4 is true)[ [[RETURN TO MAIN.HTML->Winter 1 Main Day 4]]] </p1> </html><html> <style> p1 { font: 100% MS Sans,serif; font-size: 40px; line-height: 1.5em; } p2 { font: 100% MS Sans,serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 1.5em; } </style> <p1><center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_4bb99d45cde545f78093a30650e73723~mv2.png" width="100px; height:150px">ABOUT THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_4bb99d45cde545f78093a30650e73723~mv2.png" width="100px; height:150px"></center></p1><hr> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_463686f857314d49a3a40d4005772a5b~mv2.jpg" width="180px; height:180px"><br>Here are some recent engravings of me</center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_834aa6789b234936b912e900f4c8faba~mv2.gif" width="20px; height:20px"></center> <p2><center><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_4bb99d45cde545f78093a30650e73723~mv2.png" width="100px; height:150px">CONTRIBUTORS<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_4bb99d45cde545f78093a30650e73723~mv2.png" width="100px; height:150px"></center></p2> <center>(text-colour:white)[[[RIM->DELETED1]]] [[[<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_1a3827fdff894e598c7239d0dc0e7d2c~mv2.png" width="180px; height:180px">->DELETED1]]] WORLD <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_c40d095950fa43c6b86d1af5bba6c39d~mv2.png" width="180px; height:180px"> (if: $day4 is true)[(colour:red)[[BACK TO MAIN ->Winter 1 Main Day 4]]] (else:)[(colour:red)[[BACK TO MAIN ->Winter 1 Main Day 5]]] • DETECTED TRASHED SITE CONTENT(click: ?page)[== • DETECTED TRASHED SITE CONTENT(click: ?page)[== • DETECTED TRASHED SITE CONTENT ~~`[DISPATCH 1]`~~ <br> <br> (click: ?page)[=== (text-colour:red)[[[• ATTEMPT TO RECOVER PAGES?->DELETED2]]]<html><style> .container2 { margin-top:50px; margin-left:-25px; font: 100% courier new; }</style><div class="container2"> <!DOCTYPE WET EARTH> `<time>`12 :57 :04`</time>` `<blockquote><dialogue><em>` Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you `</em></dialogue></blockquote> `<br> <!DOCTYPE WET EARTH> `<time>`12 :59 :04`</time>` `<blockquote><dialogue><em>` Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Guys if you don’t how to reply look at the instructions again And then tell me Where you are `</em></dialogue></blockquote>` <br> <br> <br> (text-colour:red)[[[CACHED DISPATCH REPLY ->DELETED3]]] </div> </html><html><style> .container2 { margin-top:50px; margin-left:325px; color: red; }</style><div class="container2"> <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_d76b2dbd87bf4f7e808ab6a5c1769f44~mv2.png"></div> <br> <br> <br> (if: $typewriter is true)[[[CACHED DISPATCH REPLY ->DELETED4]]] (if: $grendel is true)[[[CACHED DISPATCH REPLY ->DELETED4]]] (else:)[[[<mark>END OF RECOVERED FILES DIRECTORY.

I am very interested in the remains left behind these stragglers. Why would they be living so far from the main settlement? And what are they seeking out West? They will keep looking for more information as they make their way to Heorot. This data will prove invaluable for the biography, I am sure of it. If they must move faster in order to avoid more weather-related destruction of records, they will do so. Beowulf must have inspired a certain degree of adventure-seeking behavior in Denmark’s population – these travelers braved the elements for a reason, I’m sure of it. I will look into Greenland…in the meantime, I have to remind RIM to tell me where the tracks led. logging off, BEED </p></div> </div> <mark>(colour:red)[[BACK TO INDEX ->index]]</mark> </html><style> p1 { font: Serif; font-size:80%; } p2 {font-size: 70%; } p3 {font-size: 200%; } </style> <p1>This file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.

Crossing into The Okay Forest soon. RIM got tired of carrying the typewriter, so I am taking over for a bit while he “hunts for dinner.” Forgive me for the quotation marks, but that is exactly how he wanted me to convey his whereabouts to you when I told him that I will be sending a dispatch out tonight. From what I can tell of the few human encampments dotted on the edge of the swamp, many of them are abandoned or rarely used. We watched from a close distance as what appeared to be a small family gathered their belongings and snuffed out their campfire in the middle of the night yesterday – in a hurry. A few hours later, we arrived at an abandoned tent. A few attempts had been made in an effort to patch up holes in the exterior, but the material was thin and fraying. RIM noticed (text-colour:black)[a set of large muddy footprints ]leading West. The family we observed also headed in that same direction. I am unsure of what this means yet, but does it not feel strange that (text-colour:black)[they are moving purposefully away] from Heorot? While RIM following the footprints, I rummaged through (text-colour:black)[the tent and found some tattered clothing, a small collection of dulled] knives, and the remains of a journal. Unfortunately, because of the heavy rain from the last two days, a good portion of the runes are illegible to me. I laid out some of the stray pages remaining on the ground this morning to dry, and found correspondence between whoever was living here and a human from a place called The Green Land? I am transcribing the letter in the next dispatch for fear of digging too deeply into the earth already with this one. There is (text-colour:black)[[something moving throughout ->GREENLAND]] Denmark, BEED. And I think Beowulf’s passing is part of it, but not the whole.

I pray that this missive finds you in better spirits than those who seem to govern this cursed land. We have arrived on the shores of land our war-lord now deems to call Greenland. With God’s grace, we prepared for a slaughter and in return have been saddled with the preoccupations of a thriving marketplace. Merchandise has been flowing freely between us and the islanders for several half-days now. Our cattle graze, we are unburdened by the whip-sharp caress of the sea, we celebrate with astonishment as if we were in your mead hall. And yet, I cannot help but feel the inevitability of war and terror. There is something lurking out there, past our warships and deeper into the land. Brynja has spoken to me of things that are most unnatural. The men are starting to fear that a sickness has poisoned my household. We journeyed to the trading post with our goods upon our arrival on these unknown shores and Brynja took her place by my side near the west entrance, sheltering the young one in a mother’s embrace. I was called to our lord’s side as he seeks my counsel in matters of war-crafting. When I returned to her side, Brynja could not bear to look at me. I turned to look at her face and she finally spoke in hushed tones, the voice of a mourner: “I do not belong to myself in these lands.” She insists that she never uttered these cursed witch-words. I do not know what to make of this. At night, I hear her moving around the room, speaking to ghosts that do not respond. She hovers at the edge of our bed, waiting for uninvited guests. Helge, dear war-brother, this expedition cannot last if the land is good but the people poison it. -Leif <span class="black_bg"> <p2>(colour:red)[[↜↜↜↜↜↜↜↜ ->WORLD DISPATCH 1]]</p2></span></p1></span></div></html><html> <style> .container1 { border: 5px solid #dedede; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 10px; height: 100%; width: 80%; margin-left: 5%; text-align:justify; } .hero-image { background-image: url("https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_463686f857314d49a3a40d4005772a5b~mv2.jpg"); /* The image used */ background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Do not repeat the image */ background-size: cover; /* Resize the background image to cover the entire container */ opacity: 0.5;; } /* Clear floats */ .container::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; } p{ font: 55% courier new; padding:40px; } p2{ font: 65% courier new; } p3 { font: 90% courier new; } .header { text-align: left; background: #000; color: white; font-size: 15px; } .container3 { height: 20%; width: 20%; margin-left: 60%; margin-top: -35px; } .container4 { border: 5px solid white; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 5px; height: 70%; width: 35%; text-align:justify; font-size: 35px; margin-top: 2%; } </style> <div class="container1"><h1 class="header">http://www.beedisonline.com/dispatch_archive/rim_dispatch1.html<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_08e63127b00d4cb8b5ad1c14fc736719~mv2.png" style="float:right;width:60px"></h1><hr><p> THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM RIM.

I. OF THE SITUATION OF THE SHIELDINGS, AND THE TOPIC OF INNATE HEROISM. `</big></big></head>` `<p>` Heorot, a great hall towering over the vast length and width of the Spear-Danes peninsula, gold-gilded and war-loved, stands tall and prosperous. The Halfdanes and their Geat Lord not only occupy most of the land but also the long-necked sea, so closely felt by the cliffs that overlook the deep water-grave that Scyld Scefing, the first true and pure Shielding, left his people in. A ring-giver beyond compare and natural warrior-king, Scefing achieved life-long rule and peace between clans, words so rarely afforded to men chosen for such greatness. We can easily imagine how a young Scefing arrived on the shores of his future destiny, cradled in a small bundle of cloth, his wooden vessel nestling onto the rough sandy beaches of what is to become the foot of the Great Heorot Hall, accepted as a gift from a faraway land or lord or the sea-serpent itself. That is our future king, the people will have said. This is the ring-bearer we have been waiting for. And what a bloodline followed! His son Beow held the fortress and in turn was blessed with princelings of his own: Heorogar, Hrothgar, and Halga. Having matched his father and forefather’s God-given skill in battle and in wisdom but also generosity, Hrothgar inherited from Beow the wealth of a joyous people. In return, Hrothgar built his people and his warriors and his gift-givers a place to celebrate and commune with each other in times of prosperity but also success. Heorot Hall was erected. Made of the finest wood and carved by meticulous hand-labor, this monument to the unbreakable spirit of the Danes housed Hrothgar and his champions for decades until the shadow-death of Grendel extinguished the fire-heat of that great house. Beowulf, eager for fame and soul-starving for a fight in the name of honor and glory, arrived on Hrothgar’s shores as terror gripped the land. This is our future king; this is the ring-bearer we have been waiting for. `</p>` </p> </div> </div> </html>(set: $day6 to true) <html> <style> .container1 { border: 2px solid #dedede; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 10px; height: 800px; width: 100%; margin-left: 105px; margin-top:-850px; overflow-y: scroll; } .container2 { border: 10px solid #000; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 25x; height: 500px; width: 20%; margin-left: -130px; overflow-y: scroll; line-height: 10px; } .container3 { border: 5px solid #420909; background-color: #000; border-radius: 1px; padding: 35x; height: 300px; width: 20%; margin-left: -130px; margin-top: -45px; line-height: 10px; } .hero-image { background-image: url("https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_463686f857314d49a3a40d4005772a5b~mv2.jpg"); /* The image used */ background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Do not repeat the image */ background-size: cover; /* Resize the background image to cover the entire container */ opacity: 0.5;; } /* Clear floats */ .container::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; } p{ font: 75% courier new; padding:20px; } p2{ font: 50% courier new; } p3 { font: 90% courier new; } .header { text-align: left; background: #000; color: white; font-size: 15px; } </style><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_7a81b6f3c3354ed1be4ba18bbf0b0d18~mv2.png" style="margin-left:-85px"><br> <div class="container2"> <h1 class="header">THE MAGE CHANNEL</h1><hr> <p2>`*** `grammar has joined THE WRITERS ROOM channel.</p2> <p2>`[10:05:31] <bomewish>` GRAMMARRRRRRRRRRRR DUDE YOUR NEWEST RIDDLE LMAOOO</p2> <p2>`[10:05:38] <grammar> `!!!!!!!!!!! </p2> <p2>`[10:05:40] <bomewish> `ITS SO GOOD ITS LIKE “I AM A LONE-DWELLER” AND THEN ITS LIKE IM ASKING MYSELF MAN WHO *AM* I???? </p2> <p2>`[10:05:42] <grammar>` STOPPPPPppp </p2></div> <div class="container3"> <p3> ▷ (text-colour:red)[[[ABØUT MÆ->ABOUT 4]]]<br> ▷ (text-colour:red)[[[THE PRØJECT->PROJECT ARCHIVE]]] (NEW)<br> ▷ (text-colour:red)[TYPEWRITER 3.0]<br> ▷ (text-colour:red)[[[DISPATCHES->DISPATCH ARCHIVE]]]</p3></div> <div class="container1"><h1 class="header">http://www.beedisonline.com/main.html<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_08e63127b00d4cb8b5ad1c14fc736719~mv2.png" style="float:right;width:60px"></h1><hr><h1 class="header">File Edit View Favorites Tools Help</h1><hr><p> (text-style:"wavy-underline")[01. 06. 945 - RESEARCH DISPATCH – CHAPTER 2 ISSUES] There is something wrong with the page - I am soooo sorry, I don't know what happened!

Covered in mud, clutching a handful of scrolls and trying not to slip and break their wiry little necks on a particularly daunting rocky spike, the two goblins narrowly dodge arrows as they make their way to BEED’s travelling vessel docked in a hidden cove on the far side of the beach. BEED’s dinghy covered in moss. RIM keeps dropping rune-covered rocks and wooden carvings, little trinkets and toys stolen from unshielded homes and distracted children. Another arrow flies, hitting the edge of his left boot. Seven captains riding, circling the drain of the Geat people’s future, weapons held high as they mourn their Lord. A dragon is pushed into the sea. The body floats uselessly by the shore, waves crashing, mythical blood seeping into the sand. The piercing sound of the Geat women wailing only seems to get louder as RIM and WORLD careen down the steep and rocky cliffside where an enormous funeral pyre burns and melts and destroys precious golden gifts wrestled out of draconic claws. Surely, no one would care if RIM’s scaly fingers reach for the ruby-encrusted bracelet lodged loosely near Beowulf’s limp hand covered in a lifetime of ring-gifts melting into his knucklebones. He promised to keep his hands to himself during the funeral, but one bracelet would not be missed, he thought. Not here, not now. WORLD yells at him through the storm-rain, begs him to leave the runes to their doom. Another woman cries out in pain above them. The fire burns brighter. RIM clutches his brother’s bloodied hand, jumps onto wet sand and barely glances at the way the sea-body engulfs the dragon as they hoof it to the boat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</tw-passagedata><tw-passagedata pid="9" name="WEEK 2" tags="week2" position="500,1000" size="100,100">&lt;html&gt; &lt;style&gt; p1 { text-indent: 5px; font: 100% Georgia,serif; font-size: 2.5em; line-height: 1.5em; } .container2 { margin-top:50px; margin-left:-25px; width:350px; } .container3 { margin-left: 550px; margin-top:-750px } .container1 { margin-left: 290px; margin-top:-620px; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;container2&quot;&gt;&lt;p1&gt;(text-colour:red)[WEEK 2: Didn’t he fuck off for like 50 years?] [[&lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_1bb4020ab05e4e58bd6426240ce19e22~mv2.png&quot; style=&quot;width:200px;&quot;&gt;-&gt;Dispatch1]]&lt;/p1&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;container1&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_918b056f4dc741eb83b1164ff370eb91~mv2.png&quot; style=&quot;width:800px&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</tw-passagedata><tw-passagedata pid="10" name="PAGE2" tags="" position="100,700" size="100,100">&lt;html&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_49525af42020448b835a8f8368ad5833~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_f47710a00ba7488dbf535438cd1d955a~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt; (text-colour:red)[ [[PREVIOUS PAGE-&gt;Typewriter]]] (text-colour:red)[ [[NEXT PAGE-&gt;PAGE3]]] &lt;audio autoplay&gt; &lt;source src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav&quot; type=&quot;audio/mp3&quot; /&gt;&lt;/audio&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</tw-passagedata><tw-passagedata pid="11" name="PAGE3" tags="" position="100,900" size="100,100">&lt;html&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_bc8f4891ec754b3ab8bd1489cdca162d~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_931305f4efd9481ba8e3337eb60486d2~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt; (text-colour:red)[ [[PREVIOUS PAGE-&gt;PAGE2]]] (text-colour:red)[ [[NEXT PAGE-&gt;PAGE4]]] &lt;audio autoplay&gt; &lt;source src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav&quot; type=&quot;audio/mp3&quot; /&gt;&lt;/audio&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</tw-passagedata><tw-passagedata pid="12" name="PAGE4" tags="" position="100,1100" size="100,100">&lt;html&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_5dc8e3931dc54805b2ff77dce11aabec~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_c2b453ac72c74a1cba361ac77be72922~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt; (text-colour:red)[ [[PREVIOUS PAGE-&gt;PAGE3]]] (text-colour:red)[ [[NEXT PAGE-&gt;PAGE5]]] &lt;audio autoplay&gt; &lt;source src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav&quot; type=&quot;audio/mp3&quot; /&gt;&lt;/audio&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</tw-passagedata><tw-passagedata pid="13" name="PAGE5" tags="" position="100,1300" size="100,100">&lt;html&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b3d204_bd233fea87e844efa056436ada2bc039~mv2.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt; (text-colour:red)[ [[PREVIOUS PAGE-&gt;PAGE4]]] (text-colour:red)[ [[RETURN TO MAIN.HTML-&gt;Untitled Passage 2]]] &lt;audio autoplay&gt; &lt;source src=&quot;https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/b3d204_a9d0f4cfd95445fe9346fe3c4c5f028a.wav&quot; type=&quot;audio/mp3&quot; /&gt;&lt;/audio&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</tw-passagedata><tw-passagedata pid="14" name="Untitled Passage" tags="sitemap" position="300,100" size="100,100">&lt;style&gt; p1 { font: Serif; font-size:80%; } p2 {font-size: 70%; } p3 {font-size: 200%; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;p1&gt;This file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.
