Tanktalus' Tower BBS

No silly graphics to slow you down... Well, no, not quite. Just not too many silly graphics.

Tanktalus, a kindly, absent-minded sage, a self-styled dabbler in the mystic arts, built (or, rather, created) a misshapen tower in the deserts of Anauroch¹ - a suiting testament to his clear mental prowess.

In this tower, he houses himself and his many automatons², continually foraging for information, much through the magical dog called Fido³. Lately, he has taken to exchanging information using this new magic called "In Tern Et"⁴.

Only the powerful adventurer can make a call to this tower in the desert. Of these, the addled sage welcomes warmly, always thirsting for knowledge of outside this tower: of this world and others that those who seek may tell about.

Once there, they may tell him about other magical places, and ask him about places he knows about. In this new magic, the "In Tern Et", the teleport spell is known as a link.

In his off hours, the sage has written his own books⁵, offering them to whomever would like a copy.
