As of 9 March 2007, the action is still in [[Santuariel]], where the [[Anilis]]-enhanced [[Ian Samael | Ian]] has been trying to come to terms with his uber-magical powers.  He's done all manner of [[healing]] of the [[Errant]] residents, but it's not just garden-variety fixing of owies; rather, it's a basic reset of the things innately wrong with Errants, which we in the outside world call [[Omega-Heal]].  As one might suspect, this has gained him a certain following, to the point where the townsfolk are becoming pests, with [[Meji Hinadori | Meji]] doing what she can to keep them under control (by threatening violence, which after all is what Meji knows best).

As of 6 March 2012, time has advanced indefinitely into the future -- a future where, of all improbable things, a stunningly beautiful [[Sarine Elle|Sarine]] is actually ''[http://www.errantstory.com/2012-02-13/5426 smiling]''.  This unprecedented phenomenon shows up at the start of the Epilogue, where Sarine is relating the history of the [[Poe-verse]] now that the [[Common Era|Age of Meji]] has started.  (We've learned that that is the term for the age that started when [[Meji Hinadori|Meji]] defeated [[Ian Samael|Ianilis]]; see [[Eras of Errant Story]] for an explanation of the various ages and epochs.)  Of course, that history isn't entirely without complications.  Meji has apparently succeeded in repairing much of the damage that Ian caused, and has forged some bonds that will keep the elves from ever attacking [[Santuariel]] again.  That's all good, presumably.  On the other hand, she has also tried to create a new earthly paradise by raising the sunken city of [[Malacia]] from the sea bed, and Sarine is implying that that didn't go completely smoothly.  Details are still lacking, however.

Unfortunately, Ian's attempt to push the envelope and resurrect his dead sister [[Evelyn Samael | Evelyn]] has gone badly.  He succeeded in re-animating (and exposing) Evelyn's body, but realized, to his horror, that it was "empty," i.e., uninhabited by his sister's soul.  His response has sent body parts flying in all directions, and now the question is whether the chapter ends before he has a complete meltdown.  It looks to be a dead heat, so to speak.

All told, the long, exciting Errant Story ride is coming to an end.  [[Hilary Hatch|Impy]] (who, we're delighted to report, is back among the living) has posted a time line of the Poe-verse that includes references to many stories and tales yet to come, so there'll still be more when Errant Story itself wraps up. And, of course, [[Errant Road]] continues to be full of interesting characters.  So life in the Poe-verse is still pretty good, really.

We haven't seen any scenes of the rest of the world for quite a while now. The last time we saw [[Sarine Elle | Sarine]] and [[Jon Amraphel | Jon]], they'd survived a close call in combat against the late [[Ensigerum | time ninja]] [[Warrel]] and were going off to find Meji, reluctantly accompanied by Jon's "little sister magic zombie of slicey death," [[Sara Amraphel | Sara]].  That was a few days ago in story time, so who knows where they are now.  Life in [[Praenubilus Astu]] may also be getting interesting as the [[Elf | elves]] mobilize forces of their own to look for Meji and Ian; we just don't know.  And [[Anita]] is due to discover that all of the little character flaws that [[Paul]] observed in Warrel turned out to be ''fatal'' flaws, which she's unlikely to take with much equanimity...

As of 6 March 2012, time has advanced indefinitely into the future -- a future where, of all improbable things, a stunningly beautiful Sarine is actually smiling. This unprecedented phenomenon shows up at the start of the Epilogue, where Sarine is relating the history of the Poe-verse now that the Age of Meji has started. (We've learned that that is the term for the age that started when Meji defeated Ianilis; see Eras of Errant Story for an explanation of the various ages and epochs.) Of course, that history isn't entirely without complications. Meji has apparently succeeded in repairing much of the damage that Ian caused, and has forged some bonds that will keep the elves from ever attacking Santuariel again. That's all good, presumably. On the other hand, she has also tried to create a new earthly paradise by raising the sunken city of Malacia from the sea bed, and Sarine is implying that that didn't go completely smoothly. Details are still lacking, however.

All told, the long, exciting Errant Story ride is coming to an end. Impy (who, we're delighted to report, is back among the living) has posted a time line of the Poe-verse that includes references to many stories and tales yet to come, so there'll still be more when Errant Story itself wraps up. And, of course, Errant Road continues to be full of interesting characters. So life in the Poe-verse is still pretty good, really.
