The Solstice meeting will be closed, and conducted on Haunted Mesa. DO NOT guide guests of any sort to the meeting. (No candidates, recruits, or new initiates that have not become full members. In other words, if they don’t know how to get there, they don’t belong. If they are advanced enough to find the place through spirit travel, they are advanced enough to join us.)

The Draco was an emblem and artifact that became popular with the Dacian cavalry. One of the really neat things about it was that it whistled. Yes, whistled. The draco was used as a war standard, and was made of bronze. When wind blew through the mouth, the Draco would emit a whistle that was eerie and frightening to those that heard it. It is considered to be one of the sources for the concept of a dragon. (See more)
This mummy had her hands sewn into her sleeves, and appears to have been tied up with a rope. There is, however, no indication of a struggle. The eyes had been covered. You can see that one still is. These precautions indicate a concern that she might rise again from the dead. Note the beadwork. This has lead to speculation that this person must have been important in the tribe.

Heh. No, the entire location did not vanish. The location has an identifying object in it, the “Broken Obelisk”. And you are correct, “in all realities” was misleading. I meant the stack of realities that identifies something as existing in our particular physical time and place. That is to say, I was in my spirit body, and it had not simply vanished from the spirit plane so that I could not see it. For instance, the first time I visited Castle Rock I was expecting it to be completely bare, and that is what I observed. In following visits I became aware there is a man-made object up there. The spirit plane does not always reflect the physical perfectly, especially if a person projects their own pre-conceived notions.
Actually, the full story behind the obelisk is rather amusing to me in retrospect. I arrived at the U.W. fairly easily because I had googled the location and knew the way to get there. (That isn’t really necessary, but I have a tendency to over-control some situations. I was treating spirit travel as if it was the same as physical travel. It is not.) I spotted the obelisk, as it was my target object, in the middle of the Quad, also known as “
