A cold and clammy murk fell over the dark grotto this night, as the shadows roiled and sprung to new life, heralding the arrival of a new breed of dark vortece.
Over the coming weeks, many sweeping changes will be coming to the creatures of Elanthia. One in particular comes to the fore, however, on this most appropriate of nights. The dark vorteces of the Broken Lands have been converted to the Basic Critter System (BCS). In general, this means that they will behave more intuitively and intelligently in their shadowy ways. Brave their chilly onslaught and you may be rewarded.

For those of you who may have missed it because there was not a Forum Announcement:
Researchers in the libraries of Tamzyr have found a link between the Fier'Dracus and a temple believed to have stood on Teras Island.
The Fier'Dracus, a gem of mysterious origin and ability, was supposedly destroyed. According to legend, loresingers handling shards of the gem have heard a voice declare, "I am the Fier'dracus, The Flame That Never Dies. Shattered I am for now, child of flesh, but dread the day when I am whole again, for you will burn for what you know."
Residents of Kharam Dzu have mixed opinions about the search for the Fier'Dracus. Local miners have warned against excavating the side of the already active volcanic slopes. Barkeepers have hailed the new arrivals, noting that research seems to be thirsty work and scholars are good tippers. Local mothers expressed concern that the Fier'Dracus might prove dangerous. They also declared that scholarship and research are not suitable activities for a family oriented community. "There is no telling what kind of questions children might ask once they are exposed to ideas," exclaimed one anxious mother.
Residents and researchers are conducting their debate in the Kharam Dzu Forums.

Adventurer's Guild EnTITLEments
Author: GS4-CROE

27 new titles have been created for the Adventurer's Guild. Titles for a particular task will appear in your listing as soon as you have completed that task at least once. Type TITLE LIST BOUNTY to see which titles are available to you.
In addition, if you are displaying a bounty title when you ask the treasure master for an upgrade to your guild badge, he will inscribe the title on to it.
>read my badge
In the Common language, it reads:
The Adventurer's Guild ~ Lord Joe, Bodyguard Extraordinaire
As another consequence of these additions, the Rogue professional title of "Bounty Hunter" will change to "Buccaneer".


We have GM Strathspey to thank for these Title-wave!
