    [Kraken’s Fall] In search of KNOWLEDGE

    from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
    on #general-announcements channel

    A way opens within the depths of Lady Niima’s Peaceful Porpoise Temple.

    I am thrilled to announce the release of the new Kraken’s Fall Community Library. Found within The Peaceful Porpoise, Narthex (7118391), simply slide down through the wide mouth-shaped portal to begin your journey into KNOWLEDGE!

    Our collection features many interesting volumes from the private, personal collection of Gentleman Hoorne Cornelieus, including several works that are exclusive to Kraken’s Fall. Please simply GET a tome from the library, pay the check-out fee, and enjoy! Or, if you’re strapped for silvers, simply READ your desired book. Please do not mind or disturb the library’s more… permanent… residents.

    The project comes courtesy of Gentleman Hoorne, who, under supervision of the fine folks at the Peaceful Porpoise, expanded once more upon their offerings.

    I am indebted to GM Thandiwe for her tireless help with the library system, and GM Itzel for her excellent-as-ever eyes on the project.

    Enjoy!

    The Invitation

    We’re All Dying…to CAP!

    You are cordially invited to attend the funeral of Xanthirra, Hecuba, Ghrath, Devo, and Villhelm.
    After countless hours of shared suffering, terrible group decisions, mutual healing, laughs, and not enough deaths, the entire core group has decided it’s time to finally put ourselves in the ground. We will be laid to rest together.
    Join us as we say goodbye to:

    Our old, weak, squishy selves
    Having any dignity left

    There will be:
    Eulogies (mostly roasting)
    Potentially questionable beverages and treats
    A bit of death
    Snacks for the living (and the freshly raised)

    When: Fourth Day of Lumnea, 9:30 PM Elven (OOC: June 4th, 9:30 PM Eastern)
    Where: Meet in the Small Park in Wehnimer’s Landing (Lich: Room 288)
    Come mourn with us. Or celebrate our demise. Honestly it’s all the same at this point.
    Dress code: Black, or whatever you died in last.
