Solve the “Cast Page Puzzle”!<\/strong><\/p>\n Why did RAY THEOPLANT have so much power? Info about the Cast (and the Golden Orange)<\/strong><\/p>\n Ralf <\/strong>\u2013 He’s our Elf! True Name: Ur-Alf (Throughly Elf). A member of the Elves youngest \u201cAge-Cohort\u201d, (which includes Rude-Elf\/Alfin\/Elfina\/Auberille). As a young Elf he’s kinda lazy, kinda foolish, and a bit of a smart-ass. He was apprenticed to the sorcerer Ray Theoplant. It was under Ray’s direction that Ralf built the Golden Orange (a magic amplifier), which makes him indirectly responsible for the vampire curse being placed on the Elves. Ralf was previously trained in the Elvan fighting arts at the AlfRidge Columnseum. The Golden Orange <\/strong>\u2013 A magic amplifier designed by Ray Theoplant and built by Ralf. The shell is made of gold and it’s shaped like an orange. The internal mechanisms are \u201clike clockwork\u201d. Ray insisted that it have the phrase \u201cTo the Wackiest One\u201d inscribed on the side, but it was Ralf’s idea to add the \u201cflame\u201d paint job and write his name at the bottom. It has a context sensitive control knob at the top. It uses a fragment of Pure Evil as its power source, which Ralf notes will last for thousands of years. Lady Frisque believes it would have been more environmentally friendly to have used the Soul of a Forsaken Child. It’s location is shielded by the spells\u00a0 Scry Belie<\/em> and Trace Erase<\/em>, and if destroyed will be re-spawned in a random location in operable form. The Wisdom Gods have forbidden magic amplifiers because they always get used for causing mischief.<\/p>\n Kith \/ Cthulyyn<\/strong>\u00a0 (pronounced like \u201cCthulu\u201d but with a \u201cyyn\u201d on the end) \u2013 Ralf doesn’t know her name, but this mysterious Elf appears in the nightmares Ralf has about his return to AlfRidge. Analysis of Cthulyn: Ray Theoplant<\/strong> \u2013 A mysterious Sorcerer that seems to have some type of Egyptian connection. Hired Ralf to build the Golden Orange (because he needed someone with the dexterity of an Elf). Recently acquired Lady Frisque as a guardian for his LuftSchloss (Sky Castle). I could swear I’ve seen that NAME before, or is my memory just ALL MIXED UP?<\/p>\n Lady Frisque<\/strong> (Fris-kay) \u2013 A coquettish House Sphinx recently acquired by the sorcerer Ray Theoplant. She’s good friends with Ralf. She has all the modesty of a tail waving house cat. She likes guarding things and asking riddles, although she’s not very good at either.<\/p>\n Rude-Elf<\/strong> \u2013 Ralf’s buddy and teammate when they were at AlfRidge.\u00a0 He got his nick-name due to his rude behavior (just ask Auberille’s HippoGrif), and is also known as a big prankster. Decides to prank Odin and Loki. He tries to scare them by using the Golden Orange to make Odin’s Sky Ship drop a short distance, but instead accidentally crashes all the Sky Cities.<\/p>\n Alfin<\/strong> \u2013 Ralfs buddy\/teammate. Has some common sense (for an young Elf), and a nice Tyrolean hat. Went with Rude-Elf to watch him prank the gods.<\/p>\n Elfina<\/strong> \u2013 Ralf’s (ex) girlfriend. She lives at the Elf Sky City, she was excited about the Saturnalia and wanted to visit all the new shrines. She was definitely NOT interested in making the Wyvern (Flying Dragons) burp. Dumped Ralf’s ass after the Sky city fiasco and went back to Alfheim.<\/p>\n Auberille<\/strong> (Ah-ber-el) \u2013 Elfina’s BFF. May be related to Auberon. Has a HippoGrif! Thinks that Ralf is a big screw-up.<\/p>\n Auberille’s HippoGrif<\/strong> \u2013 A Hippo that flies! She likes to hang out at the pool.<\/p>\n The Elvan Scholars<\/strong><\/p>\n Sno-Loks<\/strong> \u2013 Defeated the Cthulid’s previous attempt to place the vampire curse on the Elves. Currently the head of the Great Library of Occultus Magic (GLoOM) at AlfRidge.<\/p>\n Grand-Alf<\/strong> \u2013 The head Elf of the Elvan Sky City \u201cPromise of Spring\u201d (POS). Has a magnificent triple beard. Takes charge of the Elves attempt to rid themselves of the vampire curse.<\/p>\n West-Ley<\/strong> \u2013 A student\/assistant to Grand-Alf. One of the biggest Elves, he uses his size to act as Grand-Alfs enforcer.<\/p>\n G’Star<\/strong> (Gester)\u2013 An Elvan Bard who studies Chanson de Gestes. She hangs out with Grand-Alf and West-Ley in hopes that something will happen that she can bard about. She is only one \u201cAge-Cohort\u201d older than the Ralf\/Rude-Elf\/Alfin\/Elfina\/Auberille group.<\/p>\n The Wisdom Gods<\/strong><\/p>\n Thoth<\/strong> \u2013 Egyptian Pantheon. Ibis headed god of magic, writing, knowledge and the judgment of the dead. Also got stuck with the arbitration of disputes between squabbling gods.<\/p>\n Ganesha<\/strong> \u2013 Hindu Pantheon. He is the lord of learning\/intelligence\/wisdom. He is also the placer and remover of obstacles. It was in his role as \u201dRemover of Obstacles\u201d that he broke one of his tusks while opening beer bottles at a party.<\/p>\n Athena<\/strong> \u2013 Greek Pantheon. The virgin goddess of wisdom, inspiration, law, justice, just warfare, strategy, skill, blah, blah, blah. Enjoys wearing her helmet like it’s a little hat. Tends to get bitchy around any gods she thinks have a phallic theme (Thoth-beak, Ganesha-trunk, Nozferklaatu-tentacles, Odin-\u201dOne eyed monster\u201d). Still kinda pissed about the whole \u201cGolden Apple\u201d thing.<\/p>\n Odin<\/strong> \u2013 God-King of the Norse Pantheon. He sacrificed one eye at the Well of Mimir in order to receive Wisdom. Goes to the Elf City to thank them for participating in his \u201cWild Hunts\u201d, but when he catches the Elves having sex in his \u201cSacred Shrubbery\u201d becomes enraged. This initiates the prank war that concludes with him ordering Nozferklaatu to place the vampire curse on the Elves.<\/p>\n Not So Wisdom Gods<\/strong><\/p>\n Loki<\/strong> \u2013 The perennial mischief maker of the Norse pantheon. Not \u201cwise\u201d, but has feral cunning. Odin and Loki consider themselves as brothers, and constantly pal around. Loki is the one to suggest the prank war to get back at the Elves, and he also brings in Nozferklaatu to help. Loki is the mother (don’t ask) of the eight legged horse Schlepnir-Basu (Sleipnir) that Odin rides.<\/p>\n Nozferklaatu<\/strong> (Like \u201cNosferatu\u201d but with a \u201cKlaatu\u201d) \u2013 A disgraced Cthulid sorcerer. He used to be the High Priest of Dreaming Cthulu until he screwed up a previous attempt to place the vampire curse on the Elves. He was kicked out of R’Lyeh, but he does stay in touch with other Cthulids and is still able to call on the powers of Dreaming Cthulu. He hopes to regain his honor by using the new improved Vampire 2.0 curse on the Elves.<\/p>\n Pan-Ghoulin<\/strong> (Ghoul-in) \u2013 One of the \u201cGreat Old Ones\u201d. Accepts offerings of \u201csmooshified\u201d bugs. He used to \u201cball\u201d with Harmadillo before she left him for Hedge-god. He refused to answer Rude-Elfs request to stop the destruction of the Sky Cities, much to Odin’s disappointment. Cthulyyn is destined to kick his ass (literally).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Solve the “Cast Page Puzzle”! Why did RAY THEOPLANT have so much power?
