Introduction

A Cosm In Peril

Welcome to Infiniverst Update, Vol-

ume II. The events related in these

pages occurred during the third year

of the Possibility Wars, and many of

them came about as the result of re.

sponses received from Infinivnse sub-

scribers.

Included in this volume are chap-

ters on the six original Torg realms

(Aysle, the Living Land, the

Cyberpapacy, Orrorsh, the Nile Em-

pire, and Nippon Tech), as well as the

Land Below, the Space Gods' realm

and Tharkold. In addition, details on

the Aztec Empire are featured here

(forthosegroups who played the High

Lord of Earth adventure).

Also presented here are features on

some of the pocket dimensions con-

nected to Earth'scosm,newdispatches

and rumors, character templates, the

best ofthe letters received over the last

year of Infinivuse, and a new one-act

adventure set in Tharkold, Hell 011

Earth.

Finally, all realm chapters include

updated maps of stelae boundaries

and Akashan reality trees. Thesemaps

were plotted from the Robinson pro-

jection map in the West End offices, so

maps may look somewhat different

when plotted on nat maps.

Every issueof 1nfiniverstcomes with

a response form, much like the one

found in the back. of this book. This

form allows subscribers to send US the

resu Its ofthe dispatches (short ad ven·

tures) they have played, as well as to

confirm or deny rumors we have pub-

lished in the newsletter. These results

are then tabulated at West End and

used to plan the future of the Possibil-

ity Wars. Subscribers who reply to

dispatches within two months of their

publication receive a personalized re-

sponse form detailing what happened

as a result of their adventure.

Infinivnse results have prompted

new realms tocome to Earth, old ones

to suffer serious setbacks, stelae to be

planted by High Lords or uprooted by

Storm Knights. It is a part of what

makes Torg an exciting. unique gam·

ing experience.

library, reflecting on the

images his dark mirror,

Wicked, had shown to

him. They were different

in many ways from what he would

have expected after three full years of

war. Despite the destruction and the

presence of six other High Lords and

the realm, the inhabitants of this piti-

ful world continued tostroggle. Aided

by citizens of other cosms, they per-

sisted in resisting the fate that would

inevitably be theirs.

Cursing. the High Lord of Orrorsh

began to stalk back and forth. Had it

not been for those damnablestonners

and the eternity shard they had used

against him, he would havedestroyed

this cosm long ago! Instead, he had

emerged to find his "allies" squab-

bling among themselves while self·

styled "Storm Knights" opposed them

at every tum.

Still, it would do no good to brood.

It was true that, based on the amount

of possibility energy drained from the

planet, a significant part of the war

had passed while he was trapped in

the maelstrom. But the time had not

been wasted - despite the stormers'

efforts, he could sense the nearness of

the Nameless One.

Yes, this cosm wollfd be conquered,

and soon. Someone would become

Torg, and even haVing lost precious

lime, the Gaunt Man still believed he

was the best candidate to be the cho-

sen of the Nameless One. AU that was

required was power, skill and a little

... imagination.

With more than a trace of madness

in his laughter, the Gaunt Man turned

and left thechamber, his mind already

filling with images of horror ...
