In the most remote areas of Dereth, tremors threaten to topple the mountains.
The ground heaves as thousands of Olthoi prepare to burst through to take back the lands of northern and western Dereth.

Nuhmudira Appears in Zaikhal!
Thanks to Dana Trueblood of WE, Bob Down of SC, Cerulia of TD

Nuhmudira tells you, "The Olthoi Queen is calling her children to the landscape once again. We will not lose ground in this battle. We must drive them back underground."
Nuhmudira clenches her fist.
Nuhmudira tells you, "I cannot waste the final poison on this task, so I rely on you to find a means for spreading the lesser poisons we have collected. If we can find a substance that will attract her brood to the poison I believe it will kill them -- or at the very least drive them from the surface once and for all."
Nuhmudira tells you, "Spread out and search for this substance. I have many things to attend to, and must concentrate on the greater battle to come."

Queen Elysa's tent has also disappeared from Candeth Keep! Thanks to Excon of SC for the report!

New Quest - Undead Mechanic!
Thanks to Raven Shadow of TD, Mike HeXt II of MT, Cool like Fonzie of SC!

Undead Mechanic on ML - 42.1N, 79.0W
Rumor: Missing Mechanisms
Quest Details: Undead Mechanic

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Although we are much more powerful than your kind, Isparian, we admit some trepidation about this incursion of Olthoi. Should they burrow too deeply near our sanctuaries ..."
The undead looks down for a moment, avoiding your eyes.
Undead Mechanic tells you, "So. We offer you our aid in repelling these creatures. We have at our disposal the recipe for a potent poison, a poison which can weaken even the Ancient Queen herself. But the poison damages the machine in which it is concocted, and to distill more of this poison we must constantly replace many parts of the machine."
Undead Mechanic gives you Missing Mechanisms.
Undead Mechanic tells you, "This text details the parts we will need. At one time there were stores of these parts cached about the land, but now, with the chaos of the times and your meddling, intrusive ways, Isparian, who knows where the parts may lie?"
Undead Mechanic tells you, "But find them, and bring them to me, and I will reward you with a dose of the poison."

	Poison
A vial of viscid green fluid, afloat with tiny particles of black. The smell is somehow both rank and acrid.

Skeleton No Longer Faces Wall!
Just in time for Halloween! Toriin Feldrin of MT reports:  "Hi Maggie, I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning on the patch page but they fixed the skeleton you get from fishing so it no longer faces the wall when on a housing hook. However, to fix this you have to unhook the skeleton and then re-hook it to get it to face the right way. Happy Patch Day! :D"

Hot Fix on October 30
Ibn posted the following explanation of the hotfix:

Why is there a hotfix?

The hotfix is to resolve a minor bug that had the potential to crash game subservers. Some of you may have gotten kicked out of the game last night -- this was the cause.

Don't worry, it's not a problem with this month's quests or content. No rollback is expected, and the olthoi that you've kicked off the landscape will stay kicked.
 

Look for previous patch information under the Auberean History link to the left.

Thanks also to Zux Bein Yu' of HG, Mist Of Avalone of SC, Drakelatecomer of LC!
