2026 Winter Feast Announcements (1.8)

January 8, 2026 Tashina O

In Game Announcement

02.01 - FEAST 2026 - In Game Announcment

To my loyal Nobility and subjects who attend the feast at Bannor Nogoth,

You have my sincere thanks for enduring the hard moons that have fallen upon us as we fight to maintain my right to rule our lands without influence from the Kingdom of Narrdmyr.

Letters have come to me in quantity requesting clarification on my wishes for such a Feast. As I have stated since the start of the conflict with our brothers and sisters to the south, in times of conflict such as these, I call upon my Nobles to serve as my voice and my eyes as I set my sights on securing the stability of our Kingdom.

To speak plainly, I give all those who have bestowed the honor of a noble title the right to treat with the Tommarians as they best see fit. Though promises of aid, both militarily and financially, will have to come from their own supplies, as my troops and coffers stand to aid my people more directly. While the freedom to treat as you see fit falls on your actions, and while I give you my promise that no repercussions will fall from my hand for treaties signed, I do not have the time or desire to intervene with disputes between my Nobles for such treaties. I now, as I always have, entrust the wise counsel of my Nobles.

I have also been informed by Senator Augustus that he and his companions will have economic contracts available for signing. In such hard times as we have experienced, I would be a fool to deny my people the opportunity to earn much-needed coin. Any citizen of Novishan may sign these contracts, though I caution that you will seek no aid from the crown if you are unable to meet the conditions.

Your King,

Daffyd Alekzandar Belthshazzar

01.22 - Court at Feast

Hello my fellow nobles.

I will be conducting court. If you are going to present any awards, I ask that you reach out to me so that we know who all are going to present. We are asking that you follow the following rules:

Each noble will have a set amount of time to present depending on number of nobles presenting. We ask that instead of reading verbatim the award that you are presenting that you summarize the award.

We appreciate all the hard work that you all have done and can’t wait to see you at the event. Thank you!

01.19 - Bardic Tournement - Feast 1026

Greetings, Bards, Storytellers, and the Muses Who Whisper in Your Ears,

Prepare yourselves, for the Bardic Tournament of this year’s Winter Feast draws near, and with it comes a celebration of artistry that shall echo far beyond these halls.

As I proclaimed in my earlier correspondence, this year’s grand contest shall take the form of a poetry competition. Know this: poetry is not merely a pastime of the Tommarian peoples — it is the lifeblood of our culture, the vessel through which our triumphs, tragedies, and legends are carried across generations. It is with great pride that I intend to bring your verses back to the Republic, that your words may ripple across the sea and stir hearts you have never met.

Each poem shall consist of twelve lines; twelve chances to seize the spirit, to conjure wonder, to weave a spell of language that lingers long after the final syllable fades. Beyond that single rule, the canvas is yours to command.

Raise your voices. Summon your muses. Let the Feast be illuminated not only by torchlight, but by the brilliance of your craft.

Yours in the Eternal Arts,

Senator Romulus Augustus

01.17 - Wine Tasting

Tommarian Wine Tasting – Winter Feast 1026

Greetings, Esteemed Guests,

As a Senator closely linked to the agricultural development of the Protectorate of Brisbane, I thought it would be enjoyable for us to share some outstanding vintages from the Republic. Wine is deeply important to our culture, and with new wineries being planted throughout the eastern coast of Brisbane, this tasting will offer a glimpse of what we may expect in the coming years as the vines mature.

As seating will be limited, all guests will receive one wine‑tasting raffle ticket upon arrival at the party. At the raffle table, there will be a special bucket designated for this experience. Wine tasting will take place from 3:00–4:00, so be sure to get your ticket in early. Naturally, all participants must be over 21 cycles of age to partake.

I look forward to sharing these vintages with you and celebrating the season together.

Your Honored Host,

Senator Romulus Augustus

01.05 - Feast Fighter’s Tournament Rules:

2026 Feast Fighter’s Tournament Rules:

Tournament Rules:
- Marshalls have final say on all rulings during the tournament. Arguing with a marshal may result in warnings and/or removal from the tournament.
- Contestants will compete against each other in bouts to earn points which will be used to calculate final scores and winners.
- Contestants will be chosen at random using a Swiss-style bracket based on current point values. This will match contestants with the most similar point values against one another.
- Contestants will call their own blows to the best of their abilities. In the event of a contested point, marshals will resolve the dispute. ,
Points and Scoring:
- Bouts will be held in “best two of three” fashion
- To maintain a timely schedule, bouts will be limited to 5 minutes of action. This time will be paused between rounds and during rulings.
- A sound blow will be defined by intentional, uninterrupted contact to the valid target area via slash, thrust, or impact.
  - Any part of the body is considered a valid target area except for illegal zones (head and groin) and null zones (hands holding a weapon and feet placed on the ground)
  - Parried, deflected, and accidental contact do not count as sound blows
  - Illegal Strikes: Illegal strikes can result in a warning; multiple illegal strikes may result in removal from the contest.
    - Illegal strikes are:

-Blows to the head -Blows to the groin -A blow that is deemed harder than necessary to make positive contact

Points will be scored using the “King’s Rules”
A sound blow to a limb results in the “loss” of that limb, wherein the combatant may no longer use that limb
Loss of a limb will pause and reset combat (to avoid confusion from continuous exchanges and ensure clean calls from marshals)
A point is scored when a sound blow lands to the torso or when a combatant has lost two limbs
In the event of simultaneous blows landing. (Simultaneous blows being hits struck by both combatants so close together that both marshals and combatants are unable to determine which landed first)
Lethal and non-lethal: Lethal takes precedence and scores the point
Both non-lethal: both combatants lose the limb in question and reset
Both Lethal: Both combatants reset up to a max of once per bout. Beyond the first, both combatants score a point
In the event of a tie by points for first place: Combatants in question will duel in a sudden death round where the first to score a clean point takes the win.
Weapon Rules:
Contestants will pick from a pool of preselected weapons to ensure fairness among weapon kits. Once a contestant has chosen a weapon kit they will be “locked” into that choice and cannot change weapons mid contest to prevent weapon advantages being utilized between bouts.
Brackets:
Brackets will be selected randomly using a swiss style bracketing. Contestants will be assigned opponents whose point values are most similar to their own.
These brackets will be decided by an online bracketing tool to ensure impartiality
In the event of an uneven number of contestants, a bye will be offered to the contestant with the least alike score to other contestants. Byes will yield 1 point of the potential 2 available from a bout.

A huge thank you to Andrew Chipotle and Atrum G Viscus for running this year's Fighter's Tournament!

01.03 - Court

Hello all,

The Feast Team hopes you are having a fantastic winter! We have a few announcements with some logistical information for the 2026 Kanar Feast happening on February 7th.

Due to all the activities we have planned, we have chosen to give players an extra hour of in‑game time. As such, the Feast event will now start at 1:00 pm, not the previously posted 2:00 pm. Players will be allowed to enter the site at 11:30 am for decoration setup, but will be asked to exit the main hall around 12:45 pm so that we can process all tickets and hand out items as people re‑enter as their characters. Some of the Feast Team will be doing a walkthrough of the site at 11:00 am with venue staff, so please do not enter the building before 11:30 unless directed by the Feast Team.

In past years, Feast has always had a somewhat in‑game/out‑of‑game vibe. This year, we are trying something a little different. The second floor of Cobblestone Farms will be 100% in‑character. If members or guests need to make a call, decompress, or have an out‑of‑game conversation, they are welcome to go to the first floor of the building or outside. If your character is at a location where travel to the Feast is too far away, they may use an Archmage to portal to Bannor Nogoth and back to their starting location. This service is provided free of charge by the Protectorate of Brisbane. If your character is dead or imprisoned, please reach out to Marcus so accommodations can be made.

While the event is in‑character and in continuity, mechanics will be off. This means no combat, spells, toxin mechanics, in‑game crafting, and etc. may take place. This is a time to relax, make deals, give a toast, and plan for the 2026 season.

We have hired a professional photographer for four hours of the Feast to capture events, group photos, and individual portraits. All pictures will be available to members after the event, free of charge. As such, we ask that you do not take photos or have your cellphones out on the second floor while the Feast is happening. During setup and teardown is fine.

Some rules for the event that are part of the venue rental agreement:

Hard liquor of any kind is prohibited on the premises of Cobblestone Farms and the surrounding Buhr Park. This includes the parking lot. If members or guests are discovered consuming or possessing hard liquor, Cobblestone Farms will terminate the event. If members are found with or consuming hard liquor by the Feast Team, you will be removed from the event and reported to the Board of Directors for further disciplinary steps.

Beer, wine, hard cider, and champagne are allowed to be brought in by members and guests. White Claw and other seltzers made without distilled spirits are also allowed. If you are unsure whether a seltzer contains distilled spirits, we highly recommend purchasing White Claw, as it is specifically listed as permitted in the rental contract.

Cobblestone Farms now has a barrier‑free lifting device, which serves as a passenger‑only elevator to assist guests who are unable to use the stairs. Nothing can be transported on this elevator other than two people at a time. Please only use this elevator if needed; nothing may accompany the people using it except strollers. There is now a zero‑tolerance policy for confetti, helium balloons, and glitter. The ban on glitter includes body glitter.

No animals are allowed, except for service animals.

The site is a non‑smoking/non‑vaping facility. Smoking and vaping are permitted only in designated outdoor areas and must be at least 20 feet from the building and outbuildings.

More information will be released this week about competitions and tournaments, so keep your eyes peeled. We look forward to having a memorable 2026 Feast and hope you’re getting excited!

11.13 - Retirement from GM Staff

Hello, everyone!

As much as I hate to make this announcement, November will be my final event as GM1 and I’ll be stepping down at the end of this season. I had hoped to be GM1 for longer, but right now I just can’t reliably attend events. Saying goodbye to this role is bittersweet; over the past six seasons I’ve served as either GM1 or GM2, and it’s absolutely wild to me that anyone who joined since the Covid quarantine has only attended events that I’ve been a key part of shaping and running. It’s time to pass the torch and make room for the next generation’s creative vision.

I struggle to find words to completely describe my time on GM staff, the highs and lows, and how it’s felt to see the growth in this club over the last few years. Overall it’s become more welcoming, more friendly, and there’s a stronger sense of responsibility for the community and the land we play on than I think I’ve ever seen in my 15 years here. Watching that spirit and camaraderie take root has been truly incredible, and everyone one of you has my most sincere thanks for making it happen.

Although I’m retiring from numbered GM staff, I’m not disappearing entirely. I’m still going to run the Narrdmyran War and the current Fae plot, and I’ll still be tinkering with ways to improve the on‑field experience and between-event systems behind the scenes. I’ll also be available for questions from the new GM staff and whatever assistance I can give them; I want to make this transition as seamless as possible so the next GM’s era has a solid foundation to build off of and we keep the momentum going.

Including nearly a decade as Safety 1 or 2, it’s been many, many years of volunteering. This will be the first time in six years that I’ll get to play my character in a truly meaningful way, and I’m looking forward to being able to see what the game is like from the other side in modern times. Thank you all for making this such a meaningful and unforgettable chapter of my life.

In case of rain, our backup date is Sunday, November 9th. This community service is also why you see the Kanar sign along the road a reminder of the effort we put into caring for our shared spaces.

See you there, and thank you to everyone who helps keep our community strong! ✨

10.28 - Ritual System Paused and In Review

Hello, everyone!

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the Ritual system and how it works, and it's causing some significant issues for our game. This system will be turned off for the November event and will be reintroduced once it can be reviewed by staff/committee. Attached is the current system for players to review, please keep in mind that several restrictions are likely to be introduced over the winter break.

10.15 - From the Desk of CBM1st

Hello Everyone,
It is with mixed emotions of pride and gratitude that I share that fellow club member Alex Stachowski has decided to step down from his role as CBM 2nd to explore other departments within our club.

On behalf of the club and as the CBM 1st, I would like to extend to Alex my utmost appreciation and civic pride for his dedication and hard work during his time as CBM 2nd and to wish him nothing but the best as he explores other departments within the club!

Please take a moment to share your gratitude to Alex as well! He will be missed!

That being said, please welcome fellow club member Johnathon Fidler as the new CBM 3rd! I'm looking forward to working with him in the coming months as I'm sure he is excited to be here as well.

I hope everyone else is excited as I am for the upcoming and much anticipated All Hallows Event! I am hoping for a terrifying time!

With that being said your CBM team has nothing else new to report at this time.
See you on the field

September Announcements (9.17)

October 8, 2025 Media First

09.18 - On field photographer

A photographer will be on field during the next Kanar Event, if you aren't familiar with the Photo & Video policy you can read about it on our website at:
https://kanar.club/blog-posts/photography-and-videography-policy

09.10 - Ticket Update

In order to further encourage NPC volunteerism the BOD has decided to limit the amount of C tier tickets that will be sold for each event. These will be sold on a first-come, first serve basis. If you find that C tier tickets are sold out, you are encouraged to buy an A or B tier ticket instead. We are hoping that this change leads to an increase in NPC time, and encourages more players to volunteer during events.

We can't wait to see you at the next event,
-The BOD

09.10 - Castien's Chili Cookoff!

At the September festival, we will be having Castien’s Chili Cookoff. This is a great event for those that both like to cook and consume chili! For those that wish to participate, please be aware of the rules.

Try to keep the heat of the chili on the lower end so that everyone can enjoy.
Cooking must be done the majority on field. A few things may be done elsewhere but try to do most of it in Ilveresh.
As usual, there will be the judging portion and the public portion. Make a good amount for people to have some.
To enter is 6 silver. For those that wish to taste food, 3 silver. Castien will need judges.
List of ingredients must accompany your dish so those that have allergies can be aware.
There will be prizes for the winner!

Chili must be cooked and ready and the 6th bell on Saturday in Silverleaf. Thank you everyone!

09.08 - From the Desk of CBM 1st

Just your CBM crew here to let you know, with the exception to a few clarifications, your character sheet updates for the 2025 August Event have been completed!
Thank you all who took the time to input your learned skills using the requested format explained in the sign-out form as well as on the Facebook post!
You all certainly made our job just a bit easier this time AND you were all awarded an additional 10xp for doing so. Keep it up! It's easy XP!

August Announcements (8.13)

September 9, 2025 Media First

08.13 - GSOM

Hello everyone,

The GSOM is playtesting an old rule that was off the books. The new playtest is a travel time associated with visiting the parking lot to drop off/pick up coin or tags as doing so requires a trip to Crossroads, 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back, or 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back with a horse. This time can be spent in the parking lot, but it is highly encouraged that you spend the time NPCing. This doesn’t affect privy runs or going to the parking lot for any other reason, only when tags/coin are brought onto or off the field. This play test will start in September through the end of the year, then be reviewed by the PM staff and the GSOM over winter.

Thanks, The GSOM

08.11 - Chitin Armor Tag Clarification

Hello members,

It has been brought to our attention that previous chitin armor tags have been printed incorrectly, causing much confusion between staff and players. Several tags have been printed with “wears as leather protects as plate” which has given the impression that Chitin had the following attributes:

takes 3 unit to make
had a leather phys rep
protects for 20 armor points
takes 1 armor move to wear

After reviewing the way Chitin is worded in the Econ documents and in the craft packet, it shows that Chitin is defined as “craftable into plate and requires a leather phys rep.” This means that the Chitin attributes are as follows:

protects for 20 armor points
takes 12 units to make
requires a leather phys rep
requires 4 armor moves to fully benefit

We will be switching to the clarified version of the creation process. However, we will accept submissions for the armor to be crafted by the 3 unit cost until the October event. This was a mistake in understanding by our staff and we are trying our best to correct it in the most fair way possible. We will be correcting the wording in all printings and it will be labeled as plate armor from this point forward. Please bring any tag labeled incorrectly to the Econ Staff so we can correct the wording and please adjust your roleplay accordingly. We apologize for the inconveniences.

Thank you for your time, Economics Staff and GM Staff

Hello Everyone!
It has come to our (CBM) attention that there have been an excess of "Failure to Save" issues with Google Sheets this time around. We have been able to duplicate the issue manually.

If you find that a skill is listed in your "Events" tab from the most recent event, that does not appear on your "Overview" tab, please send an email to CBM@Kanar.club and will reapply those changes asap.

Hello Everyone!

Did you know that you can earn an extra 10xp each regular event signout simply by completing your learned skills section using the format explained in the signout form?!

It's true!

Here are some more examples that might help:

Basic Enchanting 1 (x1) [Players Real Name / Character Name]

Fire-Air 1 (x1) [Players Real Name / Character Name]

Culture Lore: Order of the Raven-Sun (x1) [town]

Scribe Lore: Genealogy (x1) [town]

Add Dmg: Longsword (Rt) (x1) [town]

War Tactics: Small Unit (x1) [Players Real Name / Character Name]

Astrology Lore (x1) [town] By doing it this way, it makes our job just a little bit easier AND you would be helping us out and getting 10xp to boot!

And certainly, if you get stuck on it, feel free to reach out and we will get you squared away.

That being said, we hope you have a great rest of the week and we will see you all on field!

07.11 - GM announcements - NPC

Good evening, Club Members,

Following a review of the June event, the Game Master staff has noted that some players have been requesting to portray only specific Non-Player Characters (NPCs), or have declined to play roles they perceive as "too basic"; such as goblins, bandits, and similar characters.

While the GM staff is committed to providing exciting and engaging experiences for all members, the world of Illveresh is diverse. Lower level creatures occasionally need to appear in town to ensure that gameplay remains immersive and enjoyable for everyone.

Although NPC participation is never mandatory, we kindly ask that players remember that they, too, were once excited to face a goblin in battle. Requests for "cooler, faster, stronger" NPC roles can divert valuable staff time and reduce the enjoyment that simpler encounters provide, especially for newer players.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Sincerely,
The Game Master Staff

June Announcements (6.30)

July 1, 2025 Media First

06.27 - Agelong

Greetings adventurers!

I hope everyone’s been having an amazing time. With Saturday night’s Agelong event fast approaching, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about what’s in store without spoiling too many surprises.

Theme: Elves vs. Orcs, with a sprinkle of spirit animals and fae for added intrigue.

Mechanics of Magic & Death:
• Death is optional. You can choose to accept the magic of Agelong and respawn after being “killed,” or opt to stay down.
• If you do respawn, you'll return with 1 body at your designated location.
• Levels 1–5 respawn with full body.
• Magic does not regenerate automatically, but you can sacrifice to restore it:
Level 1–5: You're in luck! No sacrifice needed, your magic returns.
Level 6–10: Sacrifice either your top-tier magic, a one-shot (like a death strike), or 1 life.
Level 11–15: Sacrifice 1 life credit.
Level 16–20: Sacrifice 2 life credits.
In short: if you're Level 1–5, elf or orc, you’re going to feel like absolute heroes out there. Enjoy the power while it lasts!

Quests & Loot:
• Expect non-combat NPCs, mainly spirit animals, offering unique quests and rewards.
• Major loot awaits those who stick it out until the end. (Target end: ~2:30 AM unless the heat or exhaustion wraps things up earlier.)
• Keep an eye out for epic foes during the night. Take them down, and the spoils are yours.

Schedule:
• I'll give the full rundown Saturday around 7:30 PM. We're aiming for an 8:00 PM start, but hey, it's Agelong. Time is flexible.

Pro tips: Stay hydrated, swing safely, and most of all, soak in the magic of the night.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s helping bring this night to life, especially Rob and Jeremiah for their brilliant support and framework.

06.20 - Sign-outs

Good evening, members,

The Game Master (GM) staff would like to remind everyone of the guidelines for submitting sign-outs between events.

Each sign-out may include:
• One in-between event action, and
• One economic action

In general terms, this means you may go to one place and do one thing.

We’ve noticed a growing number of sign-outs containing four to seven actions in a single submission. While we appreciate your enthusiasm, this creates an unrealistic workload for the GM staff to process between events.

Going forward:
• If more than one action is submitted, only the first listed action will be processed.
• Please list all applicable skills relevant to the action you are attempting. If a skill is not listed, we will assume you do not have it. Unfortunately, we do not have the time or resources to verify skills with other GSOM members.

Your cooperation helps us keep the game running smoothly and fairly for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

— The GM Staff

06.19 - A Messsge from Safety Staff

As we are on the verge of our 10 day, Agelong event, your safety team has a few reminders.

Temperatures will be in the 80s and 90s throught the event, so please stay hydrated and include salt in your diet.

Take breaks out of the heat, even if that means sitting in your car with the AC on for a short time.

Remember items like sunscreen, aloe (if the sunscreen fails), fans, ice/cooling packs, and drinks with electrolytes.

Members of Safety Staff will be on field for the duration of the event.

For Agelong night, there will be dedicated members of safety staff in pink sashes on hand all night to assist as needed. If you would like to volunteer to be dedicated safety staff for this night, please email Parisa, Safety 1st, at safety@kanar.club.

See you all out there. Stay safe and hydrated.

Parisa, Safety 1st

06.16 - Agelong Approaches

June...

Violent tremors and fierce battles subside for a short time of tense reprieve, as the ground settles and soldiers take to camps. In the aftershocks of the trauma, the oppressive methodical air of war shifts into something wild and chaotic.

Agelong approaches.

Empowered by the deep connection to the rituals of their hidden tribes, orcs prepare their bodies and metal to meet their blood-bound foes in the fury of the solstice night. Their mystical chanting echoes through the indomitable forests as they drink the fermented blood of their conquered elven enemies from years past. Together, they toast to the glory of life, the thrill of the hunt, and the blessings and might of Orc Father Cro.

Simultaneously, elves prepare their own for the encroaching night. Locked in meditative fury, driven by the blood of Elf Father Ylf, they pass down warnings and pitfalls to the younger generations and ready them for the intensity of the hunt. Deep into the nights, they adorn their bodies with battle paint in the light and heat of their communal fires while elders speak of the glory of Father Ylf and the treachery and betrayal of his orc brother Cro. Together, with orc blood in their wine glasses raised to the moon, they toast to their victory.

As the days grow longer, hotter, and tense with fear and fury, The Great Swamp churns below, hungrily waiting for the spilled blood of kin turned enemies.

Welcome to Kanar’s Weeklong event!

Q: What is Weeklong?
A: Weeklong is Kanar’s annual 10-day June event, which spans two consecutive weekends and includes the weekdays in between. Game will be on the entire time, and staff will be running encounters and story throughout the entire 10-day event. The dates for this years Weeklong are June 20th-29th.

Q: What is Agelong?
A: Agelong is an in-game holiday, originally player created, to commemorate the ongoing confrontation and tension between the Walker of Elfs, Ylf, and the Walker of Orcs, Cro, and their descendants of elves and orcs. This is celebrated yearly in-game on the night of the summer solstice, where elves and orcs battle from sunset until sunrise. In the past, the hunt has run from dusk until dawn, but due to safety concerns in recent years, the GM staff has ended the hunt at approximately 2am while giving PCs the opportunity to continue combat and RP without staff if desired.

Though the in-game hunt takes place on the solstice, the actual day of solstice may not be used due to scheduling conflicts.

Q: When is Agelong?
A: Agelong will be the second Saturday of the Weeklong event, June 28th.

Q: What if my PC is not an Orc or Elf?
A: Traditionally, it is customary for PCs who do not PC an elf or orc to NPC for Agelong, generally as an elf or orc to fill numbers for the battle.

Elves and orcs, PC and NPC, may exhibit hostility to those who attempt to participate in the hunt that are not descendants of elves and orcs. This is not always the case, and elves and orcs may be more or less welcoming to others during the hunt depending on the circumstances of the hunt. If you wish to play your PC during Agelong, or you do not wish to participate in the battle but would still like to contribute, please speak with the encounter runner.

Q: Who are Cro and Ylf?
A: Ylf, the First Elf, is the progenitor of the elven bloodline. Cro, the First Orc, is the progenitor of the orcish bloodline. Do you want to know more about them? Find out in character!

05.22 - Step back

Good day adventurers.

We will be extending the playtest of Skill: Step Back through the 2025 Season. All Players and even some NPCs will be able to use the following skill once per day.

Skill: Step Back: This ability is used with a strike and verbal call of "Step Back" that cannot have damage attached to it. The strike does not need to be successful and cannot be stopped. The target must take 2 steps back before continuing in combat. Target must be within a 2 feet range of user. This ability can not be used to interrupt a spell.

(This ability simulates pushing someone away from you)

05.15 - May Event Teaser

Spring has come to Illveresh! The flowers are in full bloom, the citizens are making merry, delicious gossip is on the ears of one and all, and in the wilderness nearby the swamp itself is waking up heralding its own plans.

Then you feel the tremors. The earth itself is in an uproar. Houses are destabilizing, fires are spreading, and all are panicked. It’s as if something sinister is moving beneath Illveresh itself!

Yet the Kingdom of Novashan has other problems. Novashan has won a costly victory against Narrdmyr on the southern border and the corpses of friend and foe alike are piled throughout a countryside painted red with blood. There are rumors that the valiant Sir Korra was slain but no body can be found. Others claim her corpse has been captured by Narrdmyr in a deadly game of ransom.

And in the midst of this, visitors are descending on the swamp. Do they offer help? Maybe some? More likely they bring more harm. Only time will tell…

05.01 - PM Announcement

Hello Players,

After much discussion it has been decided that players with martial skills that no one else has can learn the next level of it in town free of coin charge.

For example, if you have 3 death strikes with longsword and no one else has this skill, you can learn death strike #4 in town without gold cost. You would still need to spend the XP.
