November Event Details

November Event Details

You walk along a newly-made trail just east of Fennor with the rest of the masses, approaching the ritual area Mantle Mages from southern Narrdmyr have been preparing for weeks. Until today, the area has been unapproachable, locked down and heavily guarded by a blend of both Narrdmyran and local forces. You pass them as you walk, their eyes scanning the crowds for trouble, until you reach a gathering point at the far end of a large field.

Looking over what used to be farmland, you notice that it’s been nearly completely leveled. You see that the ground has been intricately crossed with lines of various colors and materials, connecting dozens if not hundreds of points across the dirt. The points themselves cannot be seen from here.

A hush falls over the crowd as a group of figures dressed in green or blue robes enter the field and stand at different points, followed by two figures in white. Their places taken, the two white-robed figures being chanting softly, too softly to make out the words. The winds begin to build and whip around them, their arms raising with their voices. Some around you shield their eyes from the dust.

Pulses of light jump from each blue or green robe into the ground and race to a point on either end of the field. With a final shout, barely audible over the wind, a crack of lightning streaks from the western end to the eastern, followed by several more, until with a flash the portal stands:

You see a field beyond you where a sea of tents is set, a castle standing proudly over them. The image is beyond a half-circle border of pure white light. As the wind dies down, guards take their place on the pathway to the portal to guide travelers along.

Daggett awaits.

Hello everyone!

This event will be run differently than our previous digital events. Please read this write up for more information on the event including crafting, getting paid, influence, and chits! Likewise, the combat system for online events has been fine tuned. Please see below under “Will there be combat?”.

How late can I purchase a ticket to be considered an "attendee" for sign out purposes?

• You can buy tickets to the event until 4:50 pm on Sunday. So long as you buy a ticket before then and get checked in to the server, you will be considered an attendee and can do a sign-out!

My character was hanging out in the "in-between events" server! What will happen to that?

• PM and GM staff will be locking the in-between events server at 5pm when the November event begins. The server will reactivate after the November event sign outs are completed and GM staff has sorted players into the towns the plan to stay in until the next event. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the GSOM staff members.

Because digital events are new and ever-changing, we've put together a short video tour of what Kanar's digital event set up looks like. I would highly recommend you give this a watch especially if it's your first time joining us:
