As of 7 August 2009, the action, and there's plenty of it, is somewhere in the [[Far North]], where an [[elf|elven]] party under nasty [[High Commander]] [[Yenhael]] is trying to get to the whatever-it-is containing the slumbering [[Senilis]].  They have coerced [[Jon Amraphel|Jon]] into trying to help them defeat the [[ward]]s set up to keep elves out (one unnamed human already having been blown away by a Gatling gun in the attempt), using threats to [[Meji Hinadori|Meji]] and [[Sarine Elle|Sarine]] as leverage.  Thus far this hasn't gone smoothly, as Jon has passed a barrier that however did real damage to one of his elven captors.  (Serves him right, say we.) Presumably there'll be some more action on this front over the next month.

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.

Meanwhile, somewhere near the [[Ensigerum village]], [[Ian Samael|Ianilis]], [[Anita]] and [[Paul]] have interrupted what appears to be a ceremonial execution of a [[troll]].  Their purpose in doing this is obviously to follow through on Paul's sarcastic comment about looking for allies among the trolls, but that isn't going well either: the [[chieftess]] of the trolls has figured out that Ian is nobody they want to do business with, indeed is a "[[Marime]]" (as Ian himself has stupidly confirmed) and therefore a dangerous, chaotic and generally cursed being, to be avoided rather than allied with.  However, Ian's attempt at [[necromancy]] on the executed troll has worked a little better than it did when he tried it on his [[Evelyn Samael|sister]] ... and that has given him an idea.

Of the [[Tsuiraku]]ans currently winging their way toward the Far North via long-range [[airship]], no recent news, but it can be predicted with pretty high confidence that their time is coming.

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.
