The site isn't really out, but it very well might be soon. On the Tuesday 24th January 2012, US Senate will vote on the internet censorship bill (or the "Stop Online Piracy Act," if you will). It is one of an emerging salvo of attack on the internet being put forth by lawmakers. SOPA and PIPA are U.S. pieces of legislation with global impact. ACTA is an international agreement with a similarly damaging result.
This particular campaign is focused on SOPA. Whilst it is an American law, it has far reaching repercussions for the web as a whole, and implications for people around the globe. I've already done what I can, but if you haven't, please do. This site is at risk, nevermind other places on the internet.
There are many companies against SOPA, such as Google, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and today I am lending my weight to the argument by taking my site down for the day.
If you think SOPA doesn't affect you, please think again. If you're not a U.S. citizen, contact political leaders in your country and demand they stand up to this latest assertion from the United States that it has the power to control your rights. It would make sense for countries to consider sanctions against the United States if it attempts to damage infrastructure that billions of people in the global community depend on.

Primeval Dragons
 In older and more dangerous times, the Primevals ravaged the mortal world. Dragons have populated the material plane and the realms beyond for untold ages, long before even the most early of mortal races rose up from the primordial dregs and harnessed the power of language and script. Since the great majority of dragon lore predates contemporary civilization by hundreds of millennia, most knowledge of these powerful creatures has never been written down, and subsequently forgotten or descended into obscurity. The most ancient and reclusive of dragons live out their untold millennia of life away from mortal eyes, or hibernate the ages away underground or at the peaks of the tallest mountains. Many great exemplars of dragonkind never even set foot on the material plane, dwelling on the far reaches of elemental, outer, or even more obscure planes where mortals, in their limited power and potential, never learn of their existence. And perhaps they should treasure their ignorance, for even the oldest and most powerful of chromatic and metallic dragons, that require an alliance of the greatest mortal heroes and villains of the time to slay, pale before the might of the Old Ones. These types of dragons that inhabited the world during ancient times, interwoven into the very tapestry of Creation itself, and heralding change, birth and death, creation and destruction on massive scales, are known only to the greatest of mortal minds as the primeval dragons.
