1. Upcoming & Recent Events:
TIAMAT TOUR!
Come join Mentors Epoclaen and Posidea on June 20th at 10pm EST for a night of stories about the ruins of Tiamat, its ancient history and recent events! Be prepared to defend yourselve from the critters that stalk the northern roads. And don't forget your swimming trunks for a dip in the sacred pool along the way to cool off from the heat of battle (and for a bit of fun!) Meet at the North Gate of Athens (DIR NORTH in the northeast quadrant). Hope to see you there!
STRAIN YOUR BRAIN!
Think you know Xena better than Argo? What Gabrielle's true hair color is? Is Hercules a boxer or briefs kind of guy? If so, join Mentor Pamico on June 26th, 8pm EST, at the Sweet Oblivi Inn Sitting Room (in Athens Northwest, DIR INN and go east). There will be questions from "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess," Greek mythology and local Athens trivia. If you think you have what it takes to be the biggest brain in Athens, don't miss your chance to match wits with Athen's finest!
NEW AREAS IN GREECE!
If you're the type who likes to build sandcastles while dodging the claws of giant crabs or leaping from trees at unsuspecting forest creatures, then we've got new areas for you! There's even something for that little bit in all of us that likes to wade knee-deep in muddy caves! Be sure to check out the Penthesilea Forest out near Thebes and Bethells Beach southeast of Tiamat. But beware, the inhabitants don't like visitors!
MAD MIMES MAUL MEMBERS IN MARKET MAYHEM
Mimes of all shapes, sizes, and yes, even colors, were set loose by the local chapter of the Mime Guild to practice their craft on unsuspecting heroes. Unfortunately things got ugly very quickly. "They didn't say much, but they sure were furious," remarked one eyewitness, visibly shaken by the terrors of the day.
TERROR ON THE HIGH SEAS
Beware, globetrotters! There have been reports of piratical activity among the waters of our blessed seas. Be sure to keep an eye on the horizon and a hand on your hilt, for there's no telling when or where these vile ocean-going marauders will strike next!
2. General News:
WEAPON REPAIR
Our new handyman has finally gotten his goods shipment in and is expected to open shop somewhere in Athens within the next couple of weeks! Bring him your nicked, your dull, your humbled weapons and let him work his wonders to make them like new!
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO, BOOM!
Alchemists all over the lands have been building up their ammunition depots and filling them with all manner of explosives to prepare for the coming of their dragon's breath warstaffs! Rumor has it that the experimentation and development of these awesome weapons are what leveled the Al-Khemi Council House in Egypt! Just be careful using them or they might just level you.
MORE WAYS TO IMPRESS MOM
You begged and pleaded us to let you mutilate yourselves, and the moment is finally upon us! Keep an eye out in the next couple of months for a wide variety of tattoos to be coming to a local wandering tattoo artist near you!
3. Premium News:
UPCOMING ESTATE SUCCESSOR EVENTS!
A general Estate meeting will be held on Saturday, June 10th, at 7pm EST, same Estate place, same Estate channel. Also keep an eye out for a visit from one of your favorite alterers in the Sapphire Estate!
