LCS Subdomains Currently Down

The mainpage seems to work but the subdomains aren’t showing up (you can still FTP into them but they aren’t actually visible on the web). I’ve informed the LCS about this; no word yet on it though.

Re: Twin Aster

I’ve just discovered the existence of hemerythrin. Lots of iron in it, makes for violet/magenta-ish blood, apparently. Íröd is lousy with iron, especially in the water. I think the adasar will use that as the bloodborne oxygen carrier.
