Yanshi is Destroyed!
Agent Blank of FF reports: The Town Crier outside Yanshi mostly just screams ("Aaaagh! Aaaagh! Aaagh!" etc.) and sobs - although I caught him doing the Drudge Dance. He's obviously very shook up :/ Poor guy.

We also have need now of Niffis Pearls. For each of these items you may
receive a Writ of Refuge."

satisfied the other requirements for purchasing a home, seek out an

The Ice Cistern Core!
The assault against Gaerlan begins! Read more on The Cisterns page.

Woah! I haven't been playing that long (I'm level 31 as of today), and as such have never been part of a major event. Well, at around 7:00 today, the citizens of Winters Ebb between levels 20 and 40 got a chance to destroy the ice crystal that supplied power to Gaerlan and his fortress. Included is the recount, and information on what REALLY happened in the past. (I always knew Asheron didn't summon the Olthoi). BTW, in the screenshot of the crystal, I'm the one with my hands raised about to deliver a L.5 fireball of justice with my brand new Eye of the Quiddity. I didn't get a chance to see the crystals stats, but it must have had well over a million HP. It took 10 minutes to kill after I got there, and it only had half of its life left. Also, I don't know how much exp it gave, or who got it. I wish I could have gotten a full account of what Martine said, but it scrolled off of the top. Oh well. I got the gist of it.
