Lusternia
Whispers of troubled dreams are heard in New Celest and Magnagora, as well as Serenwilde and Glomdoring. Prophesies from the ancestral spirits of the Serenwilde Forest and the River Spirit of Tolborolla Valley warn of dangerous times ahead. Meanwhile, a select group have been reporting blinding headaches, tremors are occasionally felt throughout the Basin of Life, and a sense of unease grips the eldest denizens of the land. A heightened anxiety is rapidly rising in Lusternia as the people are only just beginning to awaken to these dark tidings. Do not enter Lusternia now if you are timid or weak of heart, for grave events are on the horizon, events that will change the nature of the land itself!

Aetolia
Aetolia has seen a plethora of updates, upgrades, and general excitement this past month. Liaison reports have seen Animation, Chivalry, Constitution, Concoctions, Corpus, Crystalism, Devotion and Domination all upgraded, downgraded or simply made more interesting with the input of players. To the loud rejoicing of property owners, castles can now have doors, locks and keys all configured without interference of the gods. Waking up the sleepy population were several larger events- two starfalls, with Naahul and Calihye as winners, and a series of free-for-alls which saw Kaleth and Acino win 300 credits each as the major prizes. Behind the scenes, work progresses on extensive new history releases for the scholars and new areas to explore for the more adventurous types.

Imperian
The newer citizens of Imperian were treated to a brand new area, named Lorka'ig, whilst others were surprised to find that Transk was closed, apparently for renovation. Several months later it has reopened, revealing a host of new surprises awaiting those lucky newbies! Rumours have begun to circulate that artisans are hard at work at refining a new way to fashion metal, although exactly what this means is still unknown. The God of Imagination has announced that he is beginning work on submitted Classleads, promising enhancements and improvements to every existing skillset and profession. Lord Dranor also finalized the effects of the 'affinity' system, increasing tension between the circles. Finally, astrologists have noted an unusual celestial alignment over the next few years, with denizens already using it as an excuse to celebrate. More shall be revealed in the coming month!

Achaea
In April, Achaea welcomed the return of Agatheis, God of the Elements, and Mithraea, Goddess of the Sun! The long-absent Elemental Lord's return was precipitated by a series of events beginning with a legion of undead rampaging through the temple of Mithraea, the goddess long held captive by the powerful undead prince known as Slith. The temple defilement led to a follower of Mithraea, Kirrh, discovering a child named Marisol, called the Child of the Sun, being secretly raised in a secluded island monastery. Marisol called to the Elemental Lord for succor, and through some mysterious arrangement, the child and the God were able to set into motion events leading to the emancipation of the Sun Goddess from Slith's clutches!

Every 50 in-game years, Achaeans commemorate the fall of the Seleucarian Empire to the combined forces of the Sapient League and the rise of the Modern Age. At approximately 2:00am GMT on May 6th, the 450th year A.F. begins in Achaea, and Year 450 celebrations shall kick off and last throughout the entire in-game year! The Year 450 lottery will offer credits galore as prizes, as well as a $500 USD grand prize. For those who prove to be less than lucky in the lottery, many other games and competitions throughout the year will offer much more fun and prizes. The highlight of the semicentennial celebrations for many are the Championship Games, major competitions which put Achaeans' wit and skills to the test, ranging from the cerebral Achaean Quiz to the cutthroat thrill of the Combat Tournament. The legendary Staff of Nicator will be passed on to the highest overall scorer in these games, along with a grand prize of either $700 USD or 2500 credits, winner's choice! Don't miss out; visit this page for a full schedule and details.

Thank you for your support again this month, and don't forget to use the command 'mothersrock' for your free credits.

Sincerely,

Matt Mihály
