Dragonlance Underground Resurrected!
Greetings fellow Dragonlance lovers!
My my, it's been a busy year, hasn't it? I'm sure our absence has been noted among the fans and I've heard whisperings in dark corners that we have fallen prey to shadow wights. Well, please... rest your unfounded fears, because the Raistlins have returned, to regale you with tales of untold majesty and sorrow, pain and suffering, adventures and glory...
Aw heck. We're back to have fun and ridicule everything around us.
Our motto has always been to have fun with the world of Dragonlance, whether it's satirizing the stories, imitating the authors, or even knocking ourselves down a notch or two. Well that motto hasn't changed, although there have been some major changes within the Underground structure itself.
(Hey... if the Underground structure has changed, does that mean that Aboveground structure has changed, or shifted? And what are the implications of that? Will the world come tumbling down around us due to support placement, structural shifts, and temporal alliances? Enough rambling.)
One of our major changes will be the site itself. While the eye candy that you all so love will remain the same, updates will occur on a monthly, instead of weekly basis. I know, there hasn't been updates in months and months, but for those of you who have been with us from the beginning, you'll remember that we did try to update often. Those weekly updates were a major cause of strife, agony, and hair pulling, and since we rather enjoy not being bald, we've changed this format. Hopefully we'll be able to update near the first of every month with charming and witty prose and articles.
Another very interesting change is to the staff here at the Underground offices. Some faces will be recognized. Through all the shifting, developments and changes, they didn't take the opportunity to escape... I mean, they stuck through the site, thick and thin. Others have chosen to go their own paths, enjoying their time here in the Underground, but finding our daily floggings and blood sacrifices a tad demanding. We sadly wished these Raistlins a fond farewell as they packed up their robes and left for new and more glorious world conquests. But who knows? Their roads may one day return here, and they will have more knowledge, wit, and sarcasm in order to contribute to our blood pool.
Ahhhh... changes... of course there's the world of Dragonlance itself! The War of the Souls has happened, and we're left with a whole new world to play with! The Overlords, magic, nations, even the gods have changed, giving us scads of new material to enjoy. Hopefully with these changes comes a fountain of information in which we may find some humor and laughter.
Because my dear readers, this is what Dragonlance Underground is about. You, the fans, and our goal to entertain you. Never forget this, we are doing this for you.
Here to actively entertain you are:
* Nilstiar (he did take some time to prune his rosebushes, but due to becoming nauseous at the scent, decided to return to slaving in the Underground offices)
* Lady Raist (that whip toting moderator everyone loves... to ignore that is)
* R4i5tlin (he served his time for hacking into the oval office, and returned with new stories of Attica to entertain us)
* Raistlame (while still lame as ever, he agreed, under duress, to throw in a few steel's worth of work)
* Raistputin (the mad mage, grew bored of life inside the sanitarium, and came back to regale us with new ramblings)
And the following new blood has been added to the offices!
* Raistlich (an undead mage who also prides himself as the "Bastard of Past and Present")
* Raistlicious (a busty and sleezy wench with gold skin and black g-strings... you figure it out)
* Raistalanthalasa (aka Raistlana... have you ever wondered why Raistlin thought Laurana was beautiful?)
* Raistlehoff (another cross breed? Now we're really getting silly!)
* EvilRaist (while it does sound like an oxymoron, this guy has *no* redeeming features that we've seen!)
And that, my dear fans, is the Resurrected Underground. I hope we'll be able to live up to your expectations, and you will come and flood our site, demanding we slave over our computers to appease your desire for more humorous Dragonlance spoofs.
Oh yeah... the Tower Guardian is still floating around somewhere. I think he may have gotten stuck in a broom closet somewhere while we were gone. Nobody cared enough to check. It's not like he's going to die for lack of food, water, or air you know.

I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
