Answering a Prayer

This is a page for the Little Asia Hsien game at WW's Necropolis HTML site. The Hsien are the agents of Heaven, described in the sourcebook Land of 8 Million Dreams. Their principle duty is the answering of prayers. Those of you who find this notion appealing may want to consider taking that concept outside of the online gaming world.

At http://www.white-wolf.com/darkspiral/charities.html you'll find a list of links to some damn fine charities that could really use your support right now. I'm putting this up as a result of the horrible events of 9/11/01, but it's going to stay up for as long as I'm running the game there.

There's always a dozen good reasons not to help out: I don't make enough money; I can't give blood; I don't have enough time. The list is endless--and, in the end, none of it matters. There's always something you can do, with a little creativity, a little bit of effort.

So, if you've been feeling overwhelmed, unable to help out because you're a broke college student or minimum-wageslave, get in touch with these folks; you'll find that often they need nothing more than a few warm bodies.

Little Asia: Ten Do

The Way of Heaven

As you travel through the fog-clad streets of Little Asia, you turn a corner and are amazed at the beauty of the scene before you.

Not one, or two, but several shrines and temples line the street here, each one a thing of beauty and tradition.

A small plaque informs you that this open plaza is Ten Do: "The Way of Heaven", and tells you of the street's history.

Most of Little Asia's mortal residents visit at least one of the Shrines here on a regular basis; many visit more than one, and a few "make the rounds". On any given day, at least one of the shrines is holding a festival or ceremony of some kind, and the devout, the faithful and the curious all pack the narrow cobblestone plaza, singing, chanting, buying and selling charms, and above all, praying.

For the residents of Little Asia know that this place is different from the temples and churches of the rest of Necropolis; here, prayers are not only heard, they are answered.

For though the mortals do not know it, the Hsien walk here among them.

Walk along Ten Do.
