Battle of the Dragons
(September 5, 2009)
 
Some time ago rumors of a battle that could tip the scales of faction power were told. We had known it would affect the chaos and order aligned factions. Today was the day of that battle! The Platinum Dragons stood on the side of Order (True Britannians and the Council of Mages) and the Crimson Dragons stood on the side of Chaos (Minax and the Shadow Lords). Fate would hold its breath today as the inhabitants of Sosaria helped determine the outcome. 
Dawn sent us to an area in the Lost Lands in Felucca, south of the "North Minoc Passage" near the "Hoppers Bog" Champion Spawn. We entered near a gate that led the wounded "innocents" to the healers at Serpents Hold, which is one of the few towns faction guards have no control over. A small choke point was easily noticed as the waves of citizens flowed into battle.
The magical energy protecting the Platinum Dragons was like a light hazy fog that would fade in and out while we battled. The Battle appeared even in numbers one Crimson per Platinum, or so I thought. The Platinum Dragons were weakened and near defeat when we arrived. It is said in battle most casualties are taken as their reinforcements arrive. The false hope we gave the Platinum's made their defeat much easier, a sense of calming came over them even though the Crimsons still fought on.
 
Rushing into battle, filled with adrenaline, the warriors did not think about their human adversaries that would soon follow. The small choke point between the battle and our "safe haven" moongate to Serpent's Hold became a major part of this battle. The Warriors not only had to battle the Crimson Dragons to the South but were being flanked by the faction warriors of Minax to the North. The initial wave of chaotic opponents slaughtered those who tried to hold their ground at the choke point between the mountains. Without the support of the Platinum Dragons we would have all been slaughtered.  
The Crimson Dragons began to outnumber the Platinum Dragons. It seemed fate was about ready to unleash its evil upon the land. One Platinum Dragon stood against at least four if not more Crimson Dragons. Against all odds the Platinum Dragon held on while the citizens loyal to the realm assisted in vanquishing all but one of the Crimson Dragons. Scatters of chaotic aligned opponents attempted to defeat the forces of good. Many were distracted and the end was coming near. The Platinum Dragons fight raged on. Energy Vortexes surrounded the Platinum Dragon while the Crimsons claws dripped with the blood of its adversary. With a sliver of life left in the Platinum Dragon, mages healed what little life force the Platinum held onto.  
With the chaos aligned warriors being pushed back for the time being, the citizens of Sosaria focused their full attention on the Crimson Dragon. Greater Dragons, controlled by Legendary Tamers of the land, came to the aid of the last standing Platinum Dragon. The last Crimson Dragon roared with its last breath as the warriors of virtue expelled all of their energy into its flesh-torn scales.
With the blood still thick in the air, Dawn swiftly took the surviving Platinum Dragon to safety. As soon as the Dragon was safe we regrouped at the healers. The healers at "Serpent's Hold Healer" quickly assisted the surviving warriors before a gate was opened to the Counselor's Hall in the Trammel Facet. 
Upon reaching the Counselor's Hall we were greeted by EM Lillimu. We were given a quick recap on the battle that had just passed. Throughout the chaos of the battle I am sure many like myself are grateful for these recaps. We were reminded how close we became to succumbing to the power of the Crimson Dragons, but the Virtues have prevailed, the side of honor and courage have won!
Besides the normal Crimson loot which is similar to that of Peerless bosses, many of us looted the corpses of seasoned PVP'ers. The loot received consisted of hundreds if not thousands of stones of potions, bandages, trap boxes, bags of sending and other common PVP gear. |

Detective Quest - Murder of Esme Beaumont
(August 28, 2009)
An eerie feeling was in the air in Trammel today. It took me a while to figure out why, then I noticed a book near a Moongate. I had remembered some lanterns around the towns asking for able bodied citizens to meet at the Counselor's Guild Hall. Making my appearance at the Hall it appeared the event had been long over. To my amazement the quest was still available for the late comers!
The book at the Britain Moongate spoke of a murder that had happened in Trammel. Hard to believe that the powers of Lord British and the Time Lord had been weaned enough for a murder to occur! After reading the book our investigation led us to the area South of Skara Brae.
Spoiler Alert
Do Not read beyond this point if would like to figure this quest out
Spoiler Alert
After exploring the farm lands around Skara Brae we came across a corpse! Near the corpse lay a bloodied hatchet, a butcher knife, shoes and two thousand gold pieces. What type of murderer would leave two thousand gold pieces, could this murder be about the gold?
After investigating the crime scene we went to consult with Amelia the fortune teller. She has been a great source of insight for us in the past. Amelia told us that Esme may have lived somewhere in Trinsic, in the Trammel facet. We continued our investigation in Trinsic.
Searching the town we were able to find the dwell of Esme. Inside we found a bag with gems and gold along with a pink diary on chest of drawers. A story of an uncle who lived outside of Skara Brae, and a drunken stupor with the Moongates leading Esme to the Felucca Skara Brae Gate. Esme wrote of some talking book who wished to be called "Relvinian", which was found in some type of Labyrinth. It seemed this mystical book had intrigued her, perhaps put a spell on Esme. It is hard to say how much Esme had drunk but she was certain the spellbook was some sort of old soul or even a king.
We decided this information may be useful to Amelia. She told us there were many books and only one would respond to its true name. We decided to head to Felucca in search of a Labyrinth and spellbooks laying about.
The only place we call Labyrinth is in the facet of Malas, what could this drunken young girl have been thinking. We pulled out some of our land maps and saw the Hedge Maze, this could easily be taken as a Labyrinth especially if one was inebreated. Searching around the Hedge Maze we noticed many books laying about. We started to speak the name "Relvinian" to these books. After searching around the hedge maze we found one book spoke back to us.
The book told us of the one who trapped it in the book. It... He told us that a Madam Mimeux may be the one who killed Esme!
We searched the hedge maze to find Mimeux's base of operation. The area Relvinian told us about appeared to be abandoned, however we found a red lantern that seemed out of place.
Returning to Amelia's we told her of our discovery. We were told that something had been in the opposite facet of Trammel in the Hedge Maze. As we were late for this event we learned that whatever had been in Trammel was now gone. Our detective adventure was now at an end.
Talking to citizens that were able to attend the event we were told stories of some monstrosities that were in the Hedge Maze. We were told black Hydra's were guarding the new lair of Madam Mimeux. Those who vanquished these vile guardians received some type of cloaks.

| Luna Invasion | |
| Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 11:02 PM EDT by Lyconis (Pacific) |
 
Luna Invasion
(August 4-9, 2009)  
The initial attacks in Luna came just days after the failed meeting between Casca, The ShadowLords and Agents of Corruption. Omo Trovi warned us of the coming events, the desperation shown by Casca is now apparent. The intial waves of Hydras, Balrons, Fetid Essences, and Devourer of Souls took the towns people by surprise. Blackrock Elementals were the most difficult to destroy, many players did not realize the life leaching powers that fed these creatures. When a massive force of townsmen attacked the beasts at half health they become ferocious and nearly destroy any player near them with one blow. These Blackrock Elementals feed off the corpses of those they kill at half health they easily replenished their energy from the corpses that lay beneath them. 
The guards tried to hold their ground at the inner Luna walls. The Minotaurs were not as strong as the Blackrock Elementals, though the devastation they created was nearly as menacing. Only the strongest paragon Minotaurs were sent against the town. The healers had to work very hard to keep the wounded warriors healed.
 
A platoon of Devourer of Souls marched the streets attacking anything that stood in their path to the heart of the Paladin city. Balron Generals and Ancient Wyrms followed in their footsteps. The invading hordes division was lead by ShadowLord (Manifestation) Generals.
Massive Invasion
(August 9, 2009)  
Word had sprung that a massive invasion was due to occur. Omo gathered the warriors of Sosaria at the bag ball field just south of the Paladin City Luna. Our mission was simple, save the City of Luna from total destruction. Before we could save the city we had to pay a visit to the Shrine of Sacrifice where assistance was waiting.  
At the Shrine of Sacrifice we found the Legendary Dawn, surprised by our arrival we told her of the forseen attack. Dawn barely had enough time to digest the news when out of no where a Platinum Dragon appeared. The Platinum Dragon spoke in a bellowing voice, and had told us he, or she, was here to help us fight for our lands against the greatest evil we were about to face. It was later that we discovered we had placed our faith in the Platinum Dragon Fayaxion. In the passed Fayaxion stood their ground against Crimson Dragons and Casca himself. Platinum Dragons were first seen during the earliest sightings of the Agents of Corruption. 
A gate was opened to the center of the city. A small but powerful gathering of enemy forces initiated the battle. Our forces were able to slaughter the opposing generals which included Balrons, Ancient Wyrms and ShadowLord Manifestations.
The entire city became a battle ground. The rush of enemies pushed us back into the walls of stone which felt like feathered pillows compared to our attackers. The healers did a great job keeping the warriors in battle. Many appeared dead but our ability to harness the power of magics kept our fighters raging. Every corner, every alleyway, every path became part of the battle. The forces of Sosaria along-side Lady Dawn and the Platinum Dragon pushed the enemy to the outer southern gates of Luna.  
The Commander of the ShadowLords was spotted south of the city walls. The waves of destructive forces scattered our troops. After clearing most of the Commanders minions our forces swarmed the ShadowLord Commander. It appeared as if the hells below the Commander were opening at our feet. Lighting came rushing out reaching up into the heavens destroying the weakest who tried to stand their ground. 
Dawn talked briefly to us after we defeated the ShadowLord Commander. Those who survived were praised for their valiant efforts fighting the evil that stood before us. Dawn Proclaimed this day was her proudest while fighting along-side of the fine citizens of Sosaria.
We gathered at the reward hall and were told a special item would be given to those who fought in today's battle. A massive line formed from the front of the reward hall to the edge of the crumbling content. Some of the anxious pushed others in the line out of the way, causing breaks in the formation causing mild chaos. Eventually all who showed up were given one of these robes. As the line faded more citizens appeared for a free robe, but were turned down as they were not waiting patiently like the others. For those who did not notice Fayaxion, in human form, was the one who assisted Dawn while passing out the gifts.
I must say the EM's of pacific did a great job forming the line and banning players from the reward hall after items were received. They were extremely lenient handing out gifts even to young players who did not attend the main battle. I saw very few complaints from the populous.
The reward item was a "Cloak of Silence" which gives the wearer a bonus of +10 to their stealth skill!
Both Dawn and Fayaxion praised us for our efforts. I saw no sign of Casca during the invasion. It is uncertain what his next plans will be, perhaps we will see more of the Crimson Dragons in the near future. Rumors have started that these green Cloaks of Silence will be available again in the future. |

| Casca's Treachery | |

Casca's Treachery
(August 2, 2009)
 
The time has come, battle forces lead by Omo Trovi and the Mysterious Stranger began preparations to attack Casca's meeting in the ruined city of Montor. Omo wore a suit of Ancient Battle-Worm Armor while wielding the Mercaerin Expurgator, a finely crafted katana suited for the most powerful tank mage in the realm.
Our goals were set, first Capture Casca preferably alive, second eliminate every Agent of Corruption that exist! The reasoning for capturing Casca was simple, to put him on trial for his crimes against Sosaria. If Casca was accidently killed no punishment would be sought for those responsible. 
Battle at Montor
We entered the moongate in Britain and entered Ilshenar through the Chaos Gate. The first to arrive were met by a group of Balron Paragons, Lich Lords and Valorite Elementals. The forces at the gate were a very small portion of what lay ahead. Our main forces pushed west sloshing through Monstrous Interred Grizzle's, Skeletal Dragons and Demons. The infernal ooze seeped from the corpses damaging our forces more than the monstrosities.
Coming to a bend we prepared to head South, and were greeted by pure evil. An "Agent of Corruption Warleader" attempted to stop us at the bridge, slowing us down just long enough for a reinforcement of more Warleader's and "Corrupted Royal Paladin's".
The meeting point was nearly upon us, barely seeing a moongate through the thick grouping of opponents. The minotaur's nearly destroyed us in groups, the screams of death could be heard throughout the ruined city. While regrouping near a small house just North of the newly spawned gate we held our make shift fortification valiantly against our enemies forces.
 
Sighting of Casca
As we licked our wounds through the settling dust Casca appeared at the black moongate. His attempts to demoralize our troops were futile, we were ready to taste the blood of a Lord. Before we could capture our former Lord he told us that he had destroyed Dawn's house.
Why would Casca target Dawn? When Lord Blackthorn's soul was lost to the Exodus, Dawn a simple peasent lead the people of Sosaria to oppose and slay Lord Blackthorn. What relation does Casca have to Blackthorn perhaps kin?, a student of Blackthorn's teachings?, revenge of the Exodus? 
Manifestation
Casca vanished into the moongate as a Shadowlord Manifestation appeared. Our forces made short work of this Manifestation as we had recently plundered many of them in Tokuno.
Dawn's House
We quickly gathered the troops and entered a gate to Dawn's house. She was nowhere to be found but her house was engulfed in flame. Our battle had ended for the day, we now lay in wait for the presence of Dawn. We gathered at the Counselor's hall for a quick update on what had just happened. A surprise visitor dressed in all black was Mesanna, for those who don't know Mesanna makes the best cream pies in the land!
  
Pies
We had depleated Casca's army. Omo Trovi now expects Casca to make a move in desperation against the citizens of Sosaria.
Those who waited around were greeted with another surprise. Cyno decided to pass out some more cream pies! The pies are labeled "Mesanna's Cream Pie". 
We were also given an update the Cloak of Silence may be coming soon. It is unsure at this time if this will be a loot-able item or passed out like the cream pies.
For those interested the EM's have created a website for Pacific Events! pacific.uoem.net This will be a great resource for players to find out about upcoming events and quick updates on events that have passed.
Additional Information about items, looting, etc
A tip from the EM's to the players of Pacific. Event items obtained from battling creatures can only be obtained by opening the corpses and grabbing the items from within. Item's will only spawn in your bag with the occurrence of a client side publish.
Obtaining loot from creatures follows normal looting rights, top damagers or enough damage to loot a corpse and some luck with the Random Number Generator (RNG).
  
 
Two item types were loot-able from the creatures at Montor. An "Agent Of Corruption Slave Necklace" and a Blessed Red Viking Sword. This slave "collar" seems very similar to items used by the Exodus to control their slaves...... |

Evidence Against Our King
(July 26, 2009)
  
In recent adventures Omo Trovi discovered Casca had been working with the Agents of Corruption. Casca found out and declared Omo a traitor, wanted posters appeared throughout the lands. The Mysterious Stranger lead attacks resulting in the destruction of three bases controlled by Agents of Corruption. The Tokuno Treasury was saved by fighting off the forces of the Agents of Corruption. Many damaged maps were recovered from the slain creatures while the secret entrance of the Tokuno Treasury was protected. 
Omo Trovi praised the citizens for their heroic deeds defeating the three warlords of the bases controlled by the Agents of Corruption. Vzar Lire, Grazu Lire, and Raum Fleus were all defeated by the fine citizens of Sosaria. Our "mission" was to check the bases of the fallen warlords in search of evidence that links them to Lord Casca. Omo decides to lead the citizens to scour the fallen bases.
 
First we ventured to the base formerly controlled by Vzar Lire which was deep inside the dungeon Wrong (122o 52'n, 50o 33' e). As we entered the dungeon we were greeting by a force that had been growing since our last encounter. A powerful group of Ancient Liches, Undead Minions, Ratmen and Minotaurs were ready to destroy us as we entered the dungeon. Nearly being pushed completely out of the dungeon Noble Paladins came to assist the citizens of Sosaria. Pushing to the second level of Wrong, hero's of the realm trampled over Hydras, Balrons and the Evil Mages who dwell in the depths of the dungeon. We made our way north through the entrance of level two to the red grave stone which marks the entrance of the first base of the Agents of Corruption. To enter one must speak the words Alpha Omega to pass into the base. Inside this chamber Yamandon's and Hydra's slowed our groups progression.  
Inside the deceased commander's office in plain view, we saw bags from the Royal Tokuno Treasury. In the south west corner of the room we found a chest with four items inside. Two scrolls that read,
'A Letter From Casca To Vzar Lire "The Leaders have Called For A Meeting.',
'A Quick Scrawled Note By Vzar Lire "Meeting On 8/2/09, Cannot Miss."',
A Journal with a notable last entry,
'Journal Of Vzar Lire, Last Entry "Damn Casca! He Thinks He's The Leader But He Is Not!"'
One other item lay in the chest 'Pigeon Carrier Container Labelled "Casca"'  
Though the evidence was quite damaging against Casca, we decided to hunt for more. Our next crawl lead us into the Orc Dugeon located in the forest, east of the city of Yew (16o 41'n, 21o 43'w). The citizens pushed quickly through the massive groups of orcs until we reached the third level. The third level is normally guarded by one Orc Brute, this time it seemed as if thousands awaited us. After pushing our way through we were almost to the location we had met "Grazu Lire", a small force of Hydra's kept our attention for a short period. 
East of the forge near some aging mining equipment, lay a note and a journal. The note read,
'A Badly Burned Note "Meet...montor...8/2/09"'
and the journal read,
'Badly Burned Journal Of Grazu Lire:"My Brother Slain!...Casca...Venegance!"'
Onward to the island of Isamu-Jima, we exited the moongate and proceeded to the location we met "Raum Fleus". Venturing into the forest to the East, passing many Gaman's and a couple of Oni's, we came upon a small cottage located at the basin of Mount Sho (74o 31'n, 6o 7'w). The light forces guarding this cottage were quickly brought to a calm, as we searched the cottage we discovered more evidence on the third floor!
In plain view a scroll read,
'A Torn Letter "...Lords Not Happy, Lire's Failures Will Result In Delays, Tokuno..."
and a book which read,
'A Book Dropped In Apparent Haste "Meeting At Montor On 8/2/09 -Casca" Is Scrawled On Page.'
 
The citizens still thirsty for blood decided to see what lay ahead. We ventured to the ruined city of Montor. We went to the Chaos Moongate in Ilshenar and carved a path of carnage throughout the city. Paragon creatures appeared almost everywhere. Yamandon's stood along side of Quagmire, Balrons and Succubi.
The streets covered with a shallow stream of blood had finally brought us to the meeting location. A book lay on the table which read,
"...This Is The Best Location For The Meeting. Nobody In Their Right Mind Would Come Here..."
A chest with what would be the most damning evidence against Casca lay in it. A ring with etching on it that read "Casca Royal Signet Ring"
Had all this evidence been planted for a coup d'etat against our Lord? Is our Lord really aligned with the Agents of Corruption and the Shadow Lords? Warriors and inquisitive minds are requested to meet at the Counselor's Hall in the city of Britain to find out this Sunday, 8/2/09 5pm PST! Omo Trovi has asked us to meet there before going to the Chaos gate to catch Lord Casca red handed. Omo Trovi has also asked the "heroic insane" to not venture ahead to Montor without the group as we do not want to alert the eminent evil of our arrival. |

| A Traitor in the Midst | |

A Traitor in the Midst
Today's gathering was quite gloom indeed. It is now believed that Lord Casca is in league with the agents of corruption. Casca is no where to be found, he is supposedly on "official business".
We were briefly filled in on this weeks passed adventures. The fine warriors of Sosaria have recently put the "Lady of the Snow's" soul at rest recently. While doing so these warriors battled a horde of creatures in the Tokuno Samurai Dojo. Each of the creatures carried torn and badly damaged maps. These maps show the location of the secret entrance to the Empress' treasuries! Our adventure today is to discover how these creatures obtained the maps.
The visions of our fine fortune teller "Amelia Varaeli'n" lead us to the Son of the Lady of the Snow. Yusuke Mihamori, Son of the Lady of the Snow, was thought to have died as a young boy. This is far from the truth as we know it now thanks to Amelia. Yusuke was separated by his mother after stumbling into a rift which took him into an icy wastelands. The rift took him to the northern Lost Lands in of the Trammel facet. Luckily some travelers from the city of Jhelom found him and raised him as their own.
Yusuke introduced us to a Tokunese nobleman, "Tomohori Uta". He spoke of an outsider who is half Tokunese that we may be interested in speaking to. The empress trusts this outsider with secrets of the Tokunese, due to this we will keep his name a secret.
 
The half Tokunese outsider told us only four people know of the existence of the entrance to the treasury. It is highly doubtful any of these people would share this secret with anyone. This half Tokunese outsider believed that the Empress has recently entrusted someone from the Britannian royal court with the location of this secret entrance.
We searched Castle British for any signs to a traitor. After a vigorous search we discovered a moongate that lead us to Blackthorn's Castle. Oddly enough this moongate was located in the room where Omo's arrest orders were originally found. Blackthorn's Castle is currently the location where Lord Casca himself resides. We decided to investigate the closed off Castle. Inside the master bedroom (Lord Blackthorns old bedroom), which we can only assume is where Lord Casca himself sleeps, we found two mostly burnt maps.
'A Map Draft: It Seems Someone Tried to Burn It... But You Can Make Out The Word "Secret"'
and
'A Map Draft: It Seems Someone Tried to Burn It... But You Can Make Out The Word "Zento"'
We were able make out the words "Secret" and "Zento" from these two maps. It appears someone did a poor job destroying these maps. It may be possible someone is trying to frame our .... Beloved ... Lord Casca, but with the evidence stacking our Lords future does not bold very well.
We returned to the dwell of the half Tokunese outsiders home to tell him what we had found. It is now believed either Lord Casca or someone close to him, perhaps a high ranking official in the Britannian royal court, is a traitor.
Tomorrow (July 26th 5pm PST) may be making an appearance while our adventures take us on the Hunt for Lord Casca. We will be meeting Britain Trammel at the Counselor's Guild as usual. |

| Shadowlord (Manifestations) in Tokuno | |

Shadowlord (Manifestations) in Tokuno
  
Shadowlord Manifestations have been spawning in the lands of Tokuno. They have appeared in three locations in the lands of Tokuno, "The Waste", "Mt. Sho" and "Winter Spur". Rumors are they started appearing one day ago (July 15th). Many are attempting to harness the corrupted powers of black rock to do an insane amount of damage to this vile creature. A barrage of humans and elves chant "Kal Vas An Mani In Corp Hur Tym" even before the evil creature appears.
Like clockwork they appear in the three locations one after another. Our first encounter is in "The Waste" (59o 56'N 55o 3'W). They appear out of thin air similar to a hail of cannon fire!
Dressed only in a cloak of corruption the Shadowlord makes its presence known to all who wait for it.
The Hero's on Pacific make short work of the evil at "Mt. Sho" (85o 41'N 13o 0'W).
Continued chanting of the black rock magics at "Winter Spur" (133o 9'N 27o 50'W) can be heard all the way to the sake fountain in the City of Zento.
It may be hard to find the corpse of this being quickly. Being quick to sift through the debris and fellow warriors, and with some luck, may reward you with some fair items on the corpse of the Shadowlord (an evil one's corpse)
 
Those who survive have reported many Tokuno artifacts appearing in there bags, along with the cloak of corruption to the top damage dealers. Hearsay tells us its even possible with a bit of luck on your side to get your hands on "Leurocian's Mempo Of Fortune".
In other news the Crystal outside of the Counselor's Guild in Britain speaks of Amelia's Prediction for the coming weekend!
(I was out last weekend hope this isn't late.)

| Tragedy at the Reward Hall! | |

Hello there. I bring you a tale of horror and disgust... Tonight as I was about on my journeys, frolicking in the crystals of Malas, I came across the EM Reward hall:
All of a sudden my heart grew heavy as I stared at this abomination, speechless. Toilet paper hanging off the precious statue, and greenery.. eggs brocken against the walls and doors.. a bag of flaming orc dung..
As I turned away to leave, I noticed a shadowy figure run off into the distance.. The town crier will gladly pay fifty gold pence for infornmation leading to this vandals capture.
Addition
Cyno has also increased the reward, and added a little incentive to find this culprit as well..
 Thank you Emil Ispep of Pacific for this amazing report! |

| Thunderdome Brackets Now Posted! | |
| Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009, 4:35 PM EDT by Lyconis (Pacific) |
The ThunderDome 
Incase you haven't heard a new Player Versus Player (PVP) arena has been established. The new arena is being hosted by The Super Best Friends (SUPR) guild of Pacific. Though it is a player run establishment, fame and wealth can be obtained, there is of course an admission fee for the battle participants. The Thunderdome seating stands four stories tall viewing down into the battle pits below.
 
Viewing attendants can find the Thunderdome west of the dungeon Ice and Wrong (118o 18'n 20o 36'e). If you are not familiar with the area you can easily grab a rune from a vendor named Dueling Tournament located just outside the Felucca Yew Moongate. Run one screen to the South West and you can't miss it! If you are interested in viewing the fearsome fighting of the Thunderdome reply to the threads or contact a member of SUPR, I'm sure someone will be more than glad to help. And remember all are welcome even those who live outside of Felucca, it may be advised to wear your birthday suit and bank your valuables as some innocent by standers may not have the best luck venturing to Felucca.
Brackets
 
Trying to keep the matches fair the brackets were created with the use of an in game Attendant called a "Lucky Dealer". Using a 1d100 each division player was given a number. If the participants named rolled the same number they were rerolled.

| Agent of Corruptions Wrong Base | |
| Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009, 4:56 PM EDT by Lyconis (Pacific) |
Agent of Corruption Base
The Mysterious Stranger told us that The Agents of Corruption had established a base in Britannia. His intelligence said the entrance of the base is in the depths of the dungeon Wrong, where the largest mass of Agents of Corruption were located in our last episode.
A large force of warriors went to the dungeon of Wrong and entered like a stampede, killing any Agent on site. The warriors in Wrong were greeted by Ancient Liches, Betrayers, Skeletal Dragons, other Agents and Recruits of Corruption, along with the regular inhabitants of Wrong.
 
After clearing the lower levels of the dungeon the group pushed its way into the second level of wrong. Pushing towards a room in the north eastern most corner, we discovered a Red Gravestone. The encrypted code in the books, recovered during our last adventure, revealed that this Gravestone was in fact a portal to the Agent of Corruption Base whose commanding leader was Vzar Lire. We were warned this base was heavily guarded. A password of Alpha Omega was given to the mages and warriors that dared brave the danger inside. Upon saying the password near the gravestone we would be teleported instantly to the base of Vzar Lire.
Vsar Lire's Agent of Corruption Base
A massive gathering of Demonic beings awaited our entry. A variety of Balrons, Skeltal Dragons, Dragons, Ancient Liches, and Elementals greeted us by drawing blood from many of the warriors. After a fierce battle we started pushing our way deeper into the base.
Peering down the hallway littered by corpses stood Vzar Lire. Tamed greater dragons, archers, warriors and mages continued to attack the vile warriors while we made our way to Vzar Lire. It was clear this base would not be given up without a fight, greater dragons fell to the ground, mages thrown to the walls and warriors were knocked to there knee's. After an intense struggle Vzar Lire's Life force drew thin as he collapsed to the ground.
We searched the area to discover any evidence of the agents plans. Some of the corpses had parchments labeled "Master Corruption Plan". These plans spoke of other bases, a Master of the agents and a list of cities that were to be attacked. These cities were
Luna
Vesper
Yew
and
Britain
The room at the end of the hallway appeared to be an office contained a "Crystal Vibrating with Arcane Energy". This Crystal resembled the blood sigil which was destroyed by Lord Casca's attack force shortly before the appearance of the first Platinum Dragon in our lands. We later discovered that this crystal lead us to the Shrine of Chaos many paces north of the city of Britain.
The survivors of the battle went back to the Counselor's Guild in the city of Britain to regroup. We talked about the plans we had discovered, shortly after The Mysterious Stranger vanished to research a parchment called "Master Corruption Plan".
Addition
Further investigation of the Agents of Corruption Wrong Base a "head of Cyno" was discovered near the guillotine in the eastern most room. There has been no word if this is the head of EM Cyno Razik, the Pacific EM’s did not comment at the time of this writing. Perhaps the head of Cyno in the Wrong Base is mere coincidence.
Thank you SchezwanBeefy for the keen eye

The Cove Council Museum
Ooguk had been writing Xug'Klerg for a while now, wanting Xug to do a review on his house. Xug, being a war chief, and always busy, decided to send a human friend known as Palin to do the review instead. Surprisingly, the orc was home. Ooguk did not hesitate to get into a battle stance, like all vicious orcs. Lucky for Palin that he can speak their tongue. Palin calmed the orc down and explained why he was there, and thus, the review began.
The first floor had some rares on it that Palin had never seen before, including a dark purple glacial staff. In the corner of the tower, there was a room for crafting, it had a forge and anvil and everything else a crafter needs, and some more rares.
The second floor was the most pleasing for Palin, one of the rooms reminded him of a hunting lodge that you would see up in the snowy mountains of the woods that he had once lived in.
Palin shivered as soon as he looked at the third floor, he sensed much evil around him. Typical for orcs to have evil, there was a pentagram with a ankh with a human skeleton hanging from it, there was definitely rituals going on this tower. Palin wanted to waste no more time on this floor.
The top floor had one of every mini-house, and all the one year reward statues, there was also two statues of two gentlemen, Baron and Onyx Blackstone, and some gold and treasure around it, something any orc would set eyes on, and not be able to take them off. There was also a shield that Palin was fascinated with, which contained 15 Hit Chance Increase and 15 Defense Chance Increase.

| Mysterious Stranger | |

Appearance of the Mysterious Stranger
Out of the shadows the Mysterious Stranger appeared. The stranger summoned us to warn us of "great danger arising". Agents of darkness were gathering and recruiting members for their army. Plans were being passed throughout the agents with some type of Code!
The Mysterious Stranger was able to retrieve one of the books and showed those who assembled to protect the land of Sosaria what he had found.
He told us that two types of "Agents of Corruption" have been crawling in the depths of the anti-virtue dungeons. Warning us of a mass gathering of the agents in the dungeon of Wrong and we will most likely require a large fighting force. We were then ordered to kill the Agents of Corruption and bring the coded books back to the Mysterious Stranger.
 
Agent of Corruption
We scoured the depths of the dungeons and came across the two types of agents. One appeared to be a "Shadow Wyrm" and the other a "Valorite Elemental".
Each dungeon had at least one of each of the two types of agents. All of the dungeons, aside wrong, had agents dwelling at the bottom depths of the dungeons. The forces that assembled at the Counselor's Guild quickly destroyed these "Agents of Corruption".
Giving the Stranger the coded books
Books appeared on each of the corpses. Every book had a unique code in it. The Mysterious Stranger asked the brave warriors to hand him the books we found on the deceased agents. All individuals who handed him books were thanked.
The Mysterious Stranger wanted the books so he could decrypt the secret codes they held. Decrypting these books may be our best bet in foiling the plans of these evil beings.
A Warning
Before the stranger left he warned us that more of these "Agents of Corruption" may appear in the near future
It is still unknown who these agents are working for, whether it be the Crimson Dragons, Shadowlords, Melissa or some secret plan the new ruler Casca has in store for Sosaria. A better question might be who is this Mysterious Stranger and who does he work for?
Perhaps the secret to the plans of evil may be the burden Sherry the Mouse carries.
