Ferguson

Ao amanhecer vejo que uma embarcação está para zarpar do porto. Para poder embarcar prometo ajudar com as tarefas do navio. Contei 7 luas até chegarmos ao nosso destino, Ferguson, a ilha do fogo.

A primeira coisa que notamos ao chegar é seu grande vulcão central, que ocupa uma boa parte da terra da ilha e por isso a sociedade se desenvolveu em volta dele. Pode ser visto de qualquer ângulo da Ilha e é chamado de Doshmari. Apesar de contarem que sua erupção quase destruiu o mundo, a ilha é rica em tudo que se pode imaginar. Como era de se esperar, o povo do fogo é muito caloroso. Quando souberam que era estrangeira, me receberam muito bem e em troca os presenteei com algumas iguarias do povo da terra. Os edifícios da cidade são construídos com pedras escuras que contrastam com o vermelho das bandeiras. Aqui podemos encontrar de tudo, hotéis, bares e feiras.

A ilha possui apenas um porto. É contemplada com uma beleza exótica e mágica (literalmente). As árvores são extremamente altas. Uma das criaturas que mais me encantou foram os Widges, são como mini dragões que cospem pedras preciosas. Atualmente é governada por Zdico Zadra, que os habitantes dizem ser imortal, está a mais de 50 anos no poder e nunca perdeu uma guerra.

Ingeath

Usamos a ponte de Arminster para atravessar o rio, nosso destino são as montanhas Ingeath. É lá onde encontrarei transporte para meu próximo destino (seja lá qual ele for).

**Ingeath** é uma grande cadeia de montanhas de altitudes médias e altas, com terreno firme. Dizem que o solo é feito do magma solidificado do antigo, e agora encoberto, vulcão que ficava entre o rio e a floresta. A cordilheira é dividida em seções e cada parte tem um clima e bioma diferente, então é bom estar preparado para qualquer eventualidade. Do ponto mais alto é possível enxergar toda a extensão da ponte e ainda um pedaço de Eshnud com suas ruínas.

É também a moradia de um povo com "adaptações aéreas", os Yerts. Digamos que eles não deveriam morar no chão e por isso se espalharam pela cordilheira.

Instruments of Destruction

Write the first paragraph of your page here.

## Lyrics

* Iron birds of fortune, adrift above the skies,
* Cloudy revelations, unseen by naked eyes,
* Flying tools of torment, will penetrate the sphere,
* Erupt the rock of ages, bringing final fears!

* Instruments of destruction, tools of powerplays,
* It's a violent eruption, existence drips away.

* Does it really matter, when nothing really counts,
* Brave eternal darkness, when you're drained of every ounce.
* And when the nightmare's over, the final from the storm,
* To dust of all creation, to ashes we transform!

* Instruments of Destruction, tools of powerplays,
* It's a violent eruption, existence drips away.

* Instruments of Destruction, tools of powerplays,
* It's a violent eruption, existence drips away.
* Instruments of Destruction, tools of powerplays,
* It's a violent eruption, existence drips away.
* Instruments of Destruction, tools of powerplays,
* It's a violent eruption, existence drips away.

Devilis

Devilis é o ser mais maligno da região de Valinar. Ele é considerado a representação do mal. Vive no reino subterrâneo de Hellcyon. Possui uma pele escamosa de um tom vermelho-escuro, chifres de touro, olhos de fogo, pernas de cavalo e uma grande estatura. Possui asas e é capaz de subir à terra para visitar os humanos. É extremamente abominado nas religiões existentes em Valinar.

Acredita-se que Devilis vem ao mundo terreno uma vez por ano, perto da data do Cendance, para amaldiçoar as almas boas e levar para Hellcyon as almas ruins. Devilis vem incorporado em algum ser humano ou animal. A única forma de se proteger totalmente do mal que ele traz é usando um pingente azul-esverdeado chamado Gratchia, feito de uma pedra preciosa de mesmo nome.

O nome de Devilis não pode ser dito em hipótese alguma em Valinar, sob pena de morte na fogueira.

Small forward

The **small forward**, or, colloquially, the **three**, is one of the five positions in a regulation basketball game. Small forwards are typically somewhat shorter, quicker, and leaner than Power Forwards and Centers, but on occasion are just as tall. The small forward position is considered to be perhaps the most versatile of the main five basketball positions, due to the nature of its role. Most current NBA small forwards are between 6' 5"/1.96 m and 6' 10"/2.08 m in height.The typical placement for a small forward would be between the key and three-point line. Most small forwards are very versatile and very essential in a line-up.

Famous small forwards include Julius Erving, Rick Barry, John Havlicek, Chris Mullin, Grant Hill, James Worthy, Larry Bird, Bernard King, Scottie Pippen and many others.

Small forwards are primarily responsible for scoring points and also often as secondary or tertiary re-bounders behind the power forwards and centers, although a few who play as point forwards have considerable passing responsibilities. Many small forwards in professional basketball, however, are prolific scorers. The styles with which small forwards amass their points vary widely, as some players at the position like the Hornets' Peja Stojaković are very accurate straight up shooters, while others like the Houston Rockets's Ron Artest prefer to "bang inside", initiate and/or not shy away from physical contact with opposing players, while others are primarily slashers such as Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James. One common thread between all kinds of small forwards is an ability to "get to the line", that is have opposing players called for committing shooting fouls against them, as fouls are frequently called on the defense when offensive players "take the ball hard" to the basket, that is, aggressively attempt post-up plays, lay-ups, or slam dunks. Therefore, accurate foul shooting is an imperative skill for small forwards, many of whom record a large portion of their points from the foul line.

Defense is often a major priority for small forwards, who are often counted on using their athleticism and size as defensive advantages. Shawn Marion of the Miami Heat and Tayshaun Prince of the Detroit Pistons who with their length and athleticism are able to guard any position on the floor and are often called upon to do so. Bruce Bowen of the San Antonio Spurs, while not a star offensive player, is a masterful and tenacious defender, both on the perimeter and closer to the hoop. Former small forwards known for their defensive abilities include Scottie Pippen, one of the best one-on-one defenders in the NBA for most of his career.
