NEWS
Teras Smithy Wagon Report – Oh, wait, there is no report, because there were so many silvers spent that it broke all accounting. Congrats on the big win, Teras, unless one of the other cities can now break the larger integer limit on the Smithy. Everyone needs a goal! Wyrom’s response, “We got a lot of silvers drained though. THX 4 THT”

Big wins were handed over on Monday Night at a surprise DragonBones game with Dett at Four Winds Isle. Jael hit the first huge win with over 24million silvers, Helsfeld then pulled in a 75m win, and Siierra slayed the house with a big win on the odds! A number of other wins were chalked up by players, too. There’s evidently still money left in the maw, we’re not quite sure how THAT happened!
