 EBON GATE |
It’s time to start planning the work you need at Ebon Gate. If you have a plan, you take a good 50% of the Merchant Week stress out of the rush of merchants! We know Ebon Gate will be the whole month of October, but we don’t have firm dates for Live Games week or Merchant Week. Yet. Start making a list or two and designing your alterations. |
 WE REMEMBER |
Elanthia took a moment out to share their hearts for the passing of the player of Lissanne and Demianna. We offer our collective heart in thoughts and prayers to her and her family. Here’s the snapshot page from the Memorial at Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/B2IKK2HBG_X/ |

 STORYLINE-FWI |
QST races to the Finale of The Nazhor Chronicles on Sundays (only) from 3:30pm to 6pm in September. GM Quilic posted this change to the premium storyline events and encourages everyone to come and get involved. He also suggests checking in with Avawren, Akenna, Xilona, Nehor, or Ordim in-game for their (very biased) summary of the story so far. Also see the backstory at the wiki: http://bit.ly/2H5WAZA |
 UPDATE |
GM Estild announced a fix to the Two Weapon Combat Ambushing bug that incurred extra roundtime for a miss. http://bit.ly/2lEmZFl |

 STORYLINE-WL |
Friday night in the Landing: Thadston speaks to a crowd gathered at Moot Hall. Sir Thadston is on the mend, tells everyone that Raznel’s goblins have been scouting, that Thrayzar has been keeping an eye on them – and Stiletto’s presence is suspected. There’s more of Witchful Thinking with the summary and log at the wiki, Interim Discussions: http://bit.ly/2k4HZEN |
 PSA |
Once a month reminder: back up your GemStone data somewhere safe! For StormFront settings; here’s how: http://bit.ly/2FadiqZ and then back up your Lich folder by copying it somewhere safe. If you’re using auto-back-up software, make sure your lich location is included. |

STORYLINE-WL |
Thursday Night in the Landing: The Hall of Mages’ scholars arrive, including Magister Cordarius. Though he’s jovial and flirty, his work is deadly serious as he and Magister Raelee create magical barricades on the trail to Vornavis to test for those infected with the plague–and block their passage to the south. He promises aid and study as the Hall sets up over the coming days. http://bit.ly/2lWgNbR |
EVENT |
You’ll want to be at Silvergate Inn in the Landing on Monday, September 9th, at 7pm for an unforgettable Spa Night. Soubrette Soliere will provide Spa services, and Rovvigen the Prophet will provide ice cream while you wait. To attend: go to Silvergate, into the Foyer, then west, then through the gold door. |
EVENT |
On Sunday, September 8, at 4pm, play Pennant Chase! Pennant Chase is a game that requires quick feet, fast action, laughs and experience! Yes, experience — you can learn while chasing down elusive pennants or your peers! Win silvers and prizes too! |
TIP |
Take a moment to highlight this message: “There are obvious signs of someone hidden in the area.” That means a sniper/ambusher is present. “We want credit for kills, too!” Apsaras told us. |
