The wiki has changed.

I feel it in the map games. I smell it in the timelines.

Much that once was is lost for none now are active who remember it.

It began with the forging of the great TLs. Three were given to the Brass, the wisest and fairest among all beings. Seven to the Lt Lords, great writers and craftsmen of the good works. And nine. Nine were given to the map gamers who, above all else, desire power. For within these TLs was bound the strength and will to govern the entire wiki. But they were, all of them, decieved. For another TL was made.

In the land of Trolldor, in the fires of 1983: Doomsday, the dark lord Owen forged, in secret, a master TL to control all other TLs. Into this TL, he poured his malice, his ignorance, his will do dominate all life. One TL to rule them all.

One by one, the free pages of the wiki fell to the power of the One TL. But there were some who resisted. A last resistence of TSPTF and map gamers marched against the armies of Trolldor and, on the slopes of 1983: Doomsday, they fought for the freedom of the wiki.

But the power of the TL could not be undone.

It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Mitro took up his father's banhammer.

Owen, the enemy of the free peoples of the wiki, was defeated. The TL passed to Mitro, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever. And the TL of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Mitro to his retirement. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. Althistory became legend. Legend became myth. And for, two years, the TL passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer.

The TL ensneared the creature Mscoree, who took it deep into the tunnels of the chat.
