THE INQUISITOR EVENT PROLOGUE: Things to know before you go to work on The Inquisitor Event: 1) Start with the QUEST command, look for Introduction to Brayern Isle, then move a room. 2) When tasks do not seem to finish up and you are sure you completed it, move to another room. 3) The retainer is only handing out one welcome gift per account. Choose wisely. 4) There’s a map in your Wrayth! 5) 18 individual wiki pages detail each Vissi 6) The Wrayth Map is coming to the wiki soon.

THE INQUISITOR EVENT PROLOGUE: The Inquisitor Prologue event is open. This is a preview of a pay event that is coming to us in the 4th quarter of this year. Start with your QUEST LIST and the Introduction to Brayern Isle, once you arrive. There is an event vault and entries on sale in the SimuCoin shop.

Last of the Current Towns Playershop Lotteries – Icemule Trace and Wehnimer’s Landing
on 19 Jun 2026 at 12:14PM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #general-announcements channel

The lottery for up to 20 winners for a shop in Icemule has already started right after the RR lottery concluded. Please use the SHOP LOTTERY command for details. This lottery will run from Friday until Saturday (6/20) at 1am ET. Just after that lottery, the Landing will start for up to 25 winners. That lottery will run until 1am on Sunday (6/21). Both are just ~24 hour lotteries to wrap this segment up.

There have not been any new updates to the system, just a ongoing bug fixes. This is another test run to try to follow the process to see where there are some hiccups in the system. By participating in this lottery, you are agreeing to be part of a test run that may not go as according to plan. You must claim your deed by the end of the day Monday or it will be forfeit. Everything else in the help menu should be accurate.

After this concludes, another round of bugs will get worked on. The next two towns will be our brand new additions Cysaegir and Kraken’s Falls. These will have a lot more notice once they are ready, but it may be a few weeks before they launch. Stay tuned to these announcements for details to come.

PREMIUM MERCHANT: On Tuesday, June 23 at 7:30pm, Helannya will choose 3 premium characters for Playershop Alterations and work on one item in their shop. Meet at the Firefy Villa Merchant Lounge on Four Winds Isle. The shop can be in any city, but it must be the shop owner, not a partner, to win the spin.

PREMIUM MERCHANT: On Wednesday, June 24 at 7pm, Seamstress Naelyne will come to SEW for ten Premium Members in Mist Harbor. She can also lighten and deepen items that can be sewn. The poor dear is old and forgetful but likes to hang out in the herbalist’s greenhouse. Please be aware her old hands cannot always work on every item so have a second idea ready.
