Legendary Vault - A Hoax?
by: J.S. Bleu

For anyone who often spends time at the Helionster, rumors about the so-called 'Pocket Dimension' are often heard. There are many people claimed to have seen one, and some people claimed to have entered one. But the exact occurrence or reason behind it, is up to speculations only.

There have been several dangerous 'Pocket Dimension', such as the ones that spouting malignities from other world, or the ones that kidnap families and never return them. There have been also stories about beneficial 'Pocket Dimension', where people meet powerful figures that grant them wishes, or simply meeting a deceased loved one. There are also tales about 'Pocket Dimension' who helped poor travelers to reach the other side of the world in a few minutes; sometimes with a strange similar rails, using bleak carriages with grim passengers inside. However, one of the wildest tale is the Legendary Vault.

No one knows whether the Legendary Vault exists or not. Or whether there are only one type of it, or many types. And no one knows whether the 'creator' (in case of many types) is the same or not. However, there have been tavern talks about a 'pocket-dimension' filled with traps or tricks or monsters or other security devices, with a treasure at the end of the road. This often made people wonder, why on Silvarion, these kinds of thing exists. One theory is: because it is a vault of a powerful entity, that slipped to our world through 'Pocket Dimension'.

It is a common knowledge for anyone practiced in arcane studies, that sometimes powerful spellcasters store their collections at another dimension, to avoid petty theft. However, as there are still chances that this dimension got breached somehow, they put another layer of securities, such as traps or monsters, or another password-like challenges. Sometimes they use puzzles, since they are confident they can answer the puzzles but not confident they can memorize the password (or, someone might prying their notes or minds for password).

As there have been boastful claims from adventurers who 'braved' such 'Pocket Dimension' and obtain treasures, and there have been no claims from any spellcasters about 'lost items', then we can only guess several scenarios. First, the adventurers lied, just as usual. Second, the legal owner do not want publicity of lost items. Third, the legal owner is not here, or no longer here. There should be more speculations that can be made up, but the truth about Legendary Vault, filled with magical items and artifacts, is still unknown.

Rise of The Slavers

Beware citizen, there have been three reported cases of slavery to our desk during these two months. It is a steep rise compared to the peaceful life of citizen of Silvarion. We have worked hard to make sure that people's rights to be free from oppression is guaranteed, but it seems that the kingdom did not work hard enough. Even the kingdom opened its border to the not-Holy fake-Empire of Yamato, who still practiced slavery and division of social status (with capital punishments!). And the timing of the rise of slavery cases is perfectly synchronized by the arrivals of these hypocrites. Coincidence? We will make sure to investigate this. Join us in our fight against Slavery and Oppression!

Depressing City Life - Case Study on Klawsburg
Abstract

The advancement of manufacture has been deemed as depressing by several academia. Several researches have been conducted, and the results were shaping towards the increasing depression of common people. Prices in big cities are high while the work is monotonous and tend to be dangerous. In several rural areas, villages worked hard to become a city by implementing massive manufactures, as can be seen at the Underground Mining City of Klawsburg. In order to increase the productions, some rural mining areas are willing to venture closer to the mines, and one of the result is Klawsburg that became more similar to dwarven city instead of human city, and this situation might leads to a difficult adaptation, and might leads to further depressions and social problems.
