Dateline 11/19/2008: BALL ANNOUNCED TO HERALD OPENING OF GUARDIAN KEEP
Author: GS4-ALYIAS
Date: 11/19/2008 12:32:20 AM
King Tyrnian Vaalor is pleased to announce a royal ball on the occasion of the newly-renovated Guardian Keep. Due to the importance and scale of this event, the elven king will magnanimously allow all members of the populace to attend.
Guardian Keep, long an emblem of Ta'Vaalor's might and majesty, had been long closed to the public. King Tyrnian has expressed hopes that the opening of the keep allows the general population to more closely experience the glory of his people.
All guests are expected to dress in formal attire. Slovenly appearance or behavior shall not be tolerated.
The ball will be held on Feastday, the 6th day of Eorgaen, in the year 5108 (December 6th - Platinum). An encore of the ball will be held on Feastday, the 20th day of Eorgaen, in the year 5108, in the year 5108 (December 20th - Prime). For both evenings, the ball will commence at 9:00 PM, ET.

Mayhem Masks
Author: GS4-THANDIWE
Date: 10/28/2008 8:45:15 PM
Greetings,
I meant to post this Sunday night, however, I've been a little busy.
The Mayhem Masks of Dame Cirri Strut can be found in the Lorminstra temple.
Now its time for some fun facts!
1) Mayhem masks shift between six different faces.
2) Males see one set of four, while Females see another set. (This is not broken!)
3) To ensure that a male does not wear a sprite, (or a female wears a troll) the masks shift when you wear them (Also not broken!)
4) The masks have two tiers. (Unlockable - or as Tiffidy said Unclickable!)
5) Two faces (the suede and wooden one) can be customized to YOUR specifications.
6) Any merchant can customize OR unlock the masks.
7) Each face of the mask has a loresong that is unique to it. The two customized masks do not. (Also not broken)
~*~ Thandiwe ~*~
(At this point, I tried to summon the crows, by doing a tribal dance in the barrows and singing "Heerre crowie crowie crowie. Oosh oosh." That didn't work.) -- Coyoterre

The Bank of Elanith

>> Walk to portal to EG, go through portal.
>> Walk to Velathae bank, deposit silvers.
>> OMG SO HARD!
I'll make it easier than that...
With the aid of the Merchant Consortium of Greater Elanith, the bank in Velathae will now draw funds from the account tied to the realm from which you enter the event.
I'll apologize to our Platinum players for not having this feature live this year, as I literally just thought of it tonight. (Before all of this discussion, I might add.)

Ta'Vaalor Happenings
Author: GS4-ALYIAS
Date: 10/23/2008 1:47:50 PM
>>I was wondering if anyone was going to bring up ol'Ansel :-)
Speaking of that, the Ansel system *didn't* go off like it was supposed to, so there was a bit more damage than there should have been. Plus there's investigations now as to why it didn't go off. Love and happiness is not at the workplace now.
So, first things second, the Guardian Keep opening and ball, along with the rest of my plans, is not cancelled. With EG here, I certainly don't want to run a ball at the same time, so I expect to it afterwards (likely the middle of November). Also, I suspect I will not be able to do it all in one weekend like I had originally planned, so likely the Platinum ball will come first, with the Prime one a week after that. Things are still up in the air, so please do be patient, and I'll post dates as soon as I can nail them down.
Regarding happenings around Vaalor, my current situation is going to put a crimp in it. I'm going to try very hard to timely continue the current storyline lead-ins (Yes, there IS one. Chatter on the boards to keep everyone interested!), and to continue to work on my planned releases, but again, please be patient. They will happen, just not on the timeframe I originally wanted to do them in.
Many thanks to you all.

Ebon Gate Will Give You Friends.
Author: GS4-AUCHAND
Date: 10/15/2008 9:18:29 PM
That's right, folks. Ebon Gate will give you friends, if you can find the sneaky merchant Ilixil. Consider this your EG teaser from me.
When I say 'friends,' I'm talking about lizards. Made out of shadow. That don't eat no stinkin' crickets. Don't believe me? Take a look:
Twitching and shuddering at odd intervals, the tiny creature appears to be little more than a shadow lent feeble substance. Its indigo-cored form wavers like a candle's flame, but the shade-shade-newt maintains a rough lizard shape augmented by odd, elongated limbs. Each of the six tendril-like legs spreads into a trio of tiny black talons. Twin pinpoints of cerulean luminescence shine from where the creature's eyes ought to be.
You gently probe the body of the indigo shade-newt. As your fingers press against its oily-slick skin, tiny aurorae ripple outward from the point of contact. They limn the nearby flesh in mother-of-pearl hues that are slow to fade.
Oh, yeah. Did I mention you can also force them to dwell in your skin? In. Your. Skin.

Mystery Mayhem Troupe Rides Southwest
Author: GS4-THANDIWE
Date: 10/14/2008 7:39:42 AM
Passing through the snow-enshrouded hills of Ice Mule, the ebon wagon of the Magical Mayhem Troupe has once again been seen beneath the silvery halo of moonlight as it makes its way further south. With the return of the wagon to Western Elanith come magical announcements of where the Troupe will perform its first exemplary show begin to surface!
It has been more than two centuries since the legendary family left the village of Velathae, their departure happening days before the ill-fated night that shrouds that small town in mystery, and now they return to their humble beginnings to pay homage to their meager first stage. Stopping for three nights only, the Troupe will arrive the first night of the festival to bring their special brand of talents, mystery, wonder, and fun to those that travel to the village.
In a highly anticipated return performance, the Troupe expects to perform several marionette-based plays that are certain to entertain and enthrall!
"Dame Cirri Strut's magical Mayhem Troupe!
An extraordinary performance group!
Splendidly famous, it is world renowned.
With magic and wonders that can confound!"
~*~ Thandiwe ~*~
(At this point, I tried to summon the crows, by doing a tribal dance in the barrows and singing "Heerre crowie crowie crowie. Oosh oosh." That didn't work.) -- Coyoterre

Ebon Gate -- Who is excited?!?!
Author: GS4-VESMERA
Date: 10/9/2008 11:51:49 PM
Are you excited yet? I know I'm excited!!! I can't wait to see everyone running around like crazy, and having a great time.
We -really- appreciate your patience with the delay on the festival verb. Sometimes things happen, and we work to correct them as quickly as possible. Don't let that lack of information get you down! No losing steam before we even begin!
The other GMs and I have a lot of great surprises in store for all of you this year, but I suppose I can let a few things slip. And I do recall promising to let you know what I might be providing that would possibly effect certain professions, races, etc... So, in the spirit of keeping communication open between us, I'll list some of the special services that will be available this year. Please note: This is not everything, and there will be limited slots with random selection methods (raffle, spinners).
- Bard Sonics.
- Rotating flares for weapons 8x and below.
- Temporary banshee flares for shields 7x and below.
- Temporary crit padding (with stipulations)
- Temporary crit weighting (with stipulations)
- Cobbling things. (It's a surprise)
- Shield, armor, and armor accessory spikes.
- Prayerbead and religious jewelry unlocking.
- Metallic gown unlocking. (Yes, new scripts!)
- Lockmastery clasps and keyblanks.
Is this enough? ;)
But wait, there's more!
-- 2nd Annual Masquerade Ball. Your chance to dress up, dance, and win a great prize.
-- Costume contest! New this year! For those of you who would rather not wear a coat, or a ballgown. Show off your costume, and possibly win a prize for your efforts!
-- Storytelling competition. Bring us your spooky stories, songs, and poetry! Prizes for first, second, and third place!
Ask around. The prizes are well worth the effort!
Don't forget our yearly quest, and the many smaller contests, games, and role playing opportunities throughout the event!! And shopping. Who doesn't love shopping? ;)
I hope this glimpse into what's in store has caught your attention! Buy your ticket (or tickets) and come join the fun. Can't wait to see you there!

Platinum Tiered Tickets - Eve of the Reunion Festival
Author: GS4-KAIKALA
Date: 9/22/2008 9:22:45 PM
As an addendum to the earlier post regarding tiered tickets:
As of today, Platinum tickets will only be offered at the base price, where the single ticket purchase will allow account-wide access (read: all of your characters may enter) to the festival in the Platinum instance only.
If you purchased a ticket already for Platinum -- have no fear! -- full access to that instance will be in effect without your having to do anything extra.
Enjoy!

Tiered Tickets - Eve of the Reunion Festival
Author: GS4-KAIKALA
Date: 9/22/2008 12:34:35 AM
To put a little bit of clarity on the multi-character tickets offered this year for the Eve of the Reunion Festival, aka Ebon Gate (EG):
For each account, entrance to EG:
$40 for one character - the usual price
$55 for two characters to enter
$65 for three characters to enter
$75 for four characters to enter
(Add in the Premium discount if you are a Premium subscriber)
In the past, each account was forced to choose only one character to allow into a ticketed event. This year, we thought it would be worthwhile to allow the option of bringing multiple characters from one account into EG, so that you are able to bring several of your personalities. Since $80 for just two characters seemed more than a bit steep, the tiered system was put into place.
There are no restrictions in terms of what profession or race you bring in. Just like with any other pay event, there will be a few raffles and merchants that fit one character type better than another, as well as possible restrictions on some raffle entries/merchant services. Some GMs will post more specific information in the EG forums, though some services will, as usual, remain a surprise up until event time.
Any restrictions on numbers of wins per account are at each individual GM's discretion for the raffles and merchants that they run, though said GM is responsible for clearly posting such restrictions on raffle tickets and merchant signs.
As a note, this type of event ticketing system has been suggested in the past by both players and GMs. This event's particular push for it originated from a player's suggestion during Simucon!
We hope those of you who have wanted this option in the past are able to enjoy it this festival. Any feedback and comments are appreciated.

To put a little bit of clarity on the multi-character tickets offered this year for the Eve of the Reunion Festival, aka Ebon Gate (EG):
For each account, entrance to EG:
$40 for one character - the usual price
$55 for two characters to enter
$65 for three characters to enter
$75 for four characters to enter
(Add in the Premium discount if you are a Premium subscriber)

TONIGHT'S TA'VAALOR BALL POSTPONED
Author: GS4-LIIA
Date: 9/20/2008 4:44:10 PM
I just heard from GM Alyias, who asked me to post that due to unfortunate RL circumstances involving a tree, a windstorm, and the wrath of both of these on his power, phone, and cable lines, tonight's gala will unfortunately need to be rescheduled.
He asked me to convey his regrets, and knows that many folks scheduled to be here at this time. With that in mind, he wishes that if there are specific times/dates that would be convenient for the rescheduled ball, please let him know!
Thanks,

You tap your invar volcano pin and fiery red sparks and grey ash come out of the top!
You are fondly reminded of home.

Mayhem Troupe Returns
Author: GS4-THANDIWE
Date: 9/19/2008 7:11:52 PM
Reports have traveled from abroad about the ebon wagon that is glimpsed amongst the sunset hues of autumn leaves. Riding far and wide, the wagon is that of the legendary family group known as the Magical Mayhem Troupe.
Last seen passing into the Shireland and approaching the Northern Steppes, the legendary troupe has not returned home to the Human Empire in nearly two hundred years. The performance company is formed up of family members who pass on their talents from generation to generation and have gained world notoriety.
Known primarily for their marionette shows, the troupe also holds vast talents in entertainment magics, juggling, jester acts, lively mask creation, and fantastical operettas. Though the troupe has made no stops yet on its return trip, it is highly anticipated that the troupe will once again perform.

Mystical Magical Masks Mark Mayhem In Marauder's Mitts

Making a magnificent manifestation in a magical method, Mayhem Masks mystically maneuver into monsters' caches. Many may linger, but most will mimic mercurial moods and mystify the masses by breaking. Marvelous, magical masks, what could they be? Make no mistake, the masks maneuver exactly as manufactured to do!

A Twist of Roses: Raffles
Author: GS4-XYNWEN
Date: 9/7/2008 12:11:49 AM
Yfane, Auvyra, and Caelesta have been traveling for months and missed their summer raffle. As we move into autumn, they have decided to combine summer and autumn's raffles into one extravaganza. As such, their minions have placed some raffles in the antechamber of their store, A Twist of Roses, in Ta'Illistim.
Items are being raffled individually and include two forehead gems and two Yfane gowns. Caelesta is still overly fatigued from their journey, but raffle off a full feature alter or two in future days.
The raffles are set to run for just under three days, so you have ample time to get a ticket.
OOC REMINDER: You must be logged into the game to win. I will try to be around to distribute prizes at the time of raffling, but I cannot guarantee it. Since I can't guarantee I'll be there to hand it to you, I won't make you be awake and ready to take delivery! In other words, it's perfectly okay to be afk at a table or somewhere out of the way (and preferably private and safe). I'll track you down.

Auto Flarer, also a correction.
Author: GS4-VESMERA
Date: 8/25/2008 12:47:13 PM
For those who don't know, the auto flare adding NPC will be stationed in the tent in the Landing's Garden Niche until 10am tomorrow. He can add flares to weapons 4x and below, with some restrictions. Please see the posts in the Events, Suggestions topic for further info.
For people who are already aware of this, there is one correction to my previously stated information. Apparently by design, flares are unlimited per person, instead of one per day. So, flare away, while you still can!
