Welcome, traveler, to the Flame Void. Contrary to what would be expected, one will find little fire here. But empty this place is not either for those souls who know where to look. Just hold on a second, I should be able to provide you with a map. In the meanwhile, ye might want to take a look at this tale about the Void. It is very descriptive...
All around them was darkness--a deep, chiming void of blackness lit only by faintly glowing purple mists and by drifting, winking lights. The mist curled lazily about and there was no horizon or boundary or anything solid to be seen, only endless darkness. They stood on nothing, hanging in emptiness.
"Old Mage," Sharantyr asked fearfully, "what is this place?"
A little way distant stood Elminster. He had grown somehow taller and stood outlined with a blue-white aura.
He turned and smiled at them reassuringly. "This is called by some the Flame Void. It is a strange place, not quite out of the Realms yet not in Faerūn--at least, not in the Fearūn that most folk can see and reach. Take a good look at all this nothing. 'Tis probably the only time ye'll ever see it." He looked past her at the two Harpers, nodded reassurance to them, and said to them all, "Come."
Then he turned and walked confidently away, treading on nothing.
"Where are we going?" the lady ranger said, hurrying to catch up with the Old Mage. Though she still felt nothing under het boots, and a sharp, falling feeling seemed alive in her stomach, she could move merely by thinking of moving in a direction.
"To a place I know," Elminster said, "where Lady Mystra often leaves messages, or things, for me. It is my hope that she can feel my arrival and respond."
"Oh," Sharantyr replied, not much enlightened and showing it in her tone. Elminster said no more, and she fell into step beside him.The two Harpers caught up to flank them, and all four went on together.
They walked for a long time, and sharantyr began to notice things around them that had escaped her before. Flitting shadows swirled half-seen in the mists, like living things--they probably were alive, she realized with a faint, crawling fear--and weird lights danced and glimmered in the distance.
She exchanged glances with the two young men who strode with them, and saw in their eyes the same fear and wonder that she knew shone in her own.Shadows of Doom,

Ah, yes, here it is. I knew I had it somewhere, but I stopped using it myself a couple of centuries ago. First make up your mind about what you're looking for. When you're certain, ye can rest assured, 'cause that was the most difficult part. Now all ye got to do is take a look at the map and let it guide your way. And should you run in to any famous folk, just be polite and tell them greetings from me and with a little luck, you'll hear a story or two before they run off again to save the world or have a laugh and a good mug of ale in the nearest inn.

No, I don't have a guestbook. It's just that I think these things don't work as well as they should. Instead, I have provided this as a means to let me know what you think of the site and help me to further improve it. Just rate my site, add your comments, commendations, remarks, feelings, repriments, thoughts, corrections, ideas, greetings, encouragements, grievances, hints, marriage-proposals and/or criticism and hit the 'Send Message' button. That's all there is to it.
