Put your thinking caps on and get ready to flex your brains! Throughout the week we will be hitting all 9 worlds and asking all sorts of Dereth Trivia questions. It will be based on anything and everything; from cooking and tinkering all the way up to Advanced Lore.
We were able to test this event
out tonight on Thistledown and it was a huge success. Contestants walked
away with some neat prizes and a select few won the much sought after
"Thinking Cap". Who is Mr. P? For those of you who came out to the
Un-inscription events this past weekend, you had a chance to meet Mr. P. So, if you happen to see him don't be afraid to say hi. Mr.
P loves making new friends. PK Fun and Titles
Galore This week
in Dereth a new twist was added into our live events. With all the monster
killing going on we decided to join in on the fun and excitement. Throughout
Darktide, we have been showing up and daring players to Kill Us if You Can!
Many have tried, and a few succeeded, but we will not let this stop us. If
you see one of us appear suddenly, don't be surprised if you suddenly feel
the sting of a Weeping weapon in your side! Along with our PK and
killing events, we have thrown in some fun with rewarding some players
with unique titles. Some players get a title for being the best at
killing a certain creature. While others get a title for well, being the
bait. And others have gotten a title for just being themselves. No matter what the reason
for a title was, you can be assured that fun was had by all. Stay tuned
for more updates and fun from the many live events we will be continuing
to run. Who is
Mr. P? Who exactly
is Mr. P and where did he come from? Why did he decide to start showing up
now? As some of you may already know,
we have a new member of our live events staff. It's Mr. P! Now Mr. P is not
an ordinary staffer though, he is after all, a Penguin. It was a strange
sight at first seeing him show up at events looking to help in hopes of
scoring some goodies from the nice folks of Dereth. Once we got used to him though,
it made us wonder how we ever got along without him. He sometimes even
brings a friend along. Well luckily for us we don't have to worry about Mr.
P going anywhere. It looks like he will be sticking around for a while. So next time you are out and
about in Dereth make sure to keep an eye open for Mr. P. You never know
where he might show up next! It seems that it is just about
that time of year. The time when the barrier between the living and the dead
is lifted and spirits roam the land once more. Granted the Undead roam
Dereth on a daily basis, however this year seems to be a bit... different. Ghosts, wisps and other
supernatural creatures seem to be flocking to area of Glenden Wood. It
is as if they know something we don't. There is one in this group of
raging specters that seems to scream out for blood. It can happen at
anytime, day or night. So beware and be safe because in Dereth there is
always something going bump in the night. Bwahahaha! Recently there have been some
strange things happening in Dereth, but this may have been one of the
strangest things we have seen in some time. The Scarecrows massed their
forces together and began an assault on the town of Holtburg. The attack seemed to be very
well planned out and the scarecrows almost appeared to have a goal in mind.
Was it just to raise havoc? Did they actually want to take over the town? We
can't say for sure. This time of year tends to make
man and creature alike do some strange things. Is this the last we will see
of the Scarecrows? Not likely. One thing is certain. Whatever creatures
decide to attack, the citizens of Dereth will be ready. Mr. P is a curious penguin. He
prefers chocolate and other sweets to the taste of fish, and warm locations
over the terrible cold. As a matter of fact it was on one such search for
warmer climates that he met his lifelong friend, Sappho. Planning, planning, and planning
some more, Mr. P knew he was going to make it this time. He packed an extra
blanket, wore two scarves, and sat on his mittens for thirty minutes to make
sure they were nice and toasty. The route was mapped, food was packed
(chocolate, of course) and a time was set for the perfect escape. Quietly
sneaking out his window, he looked to the evening stars and started on the
long road to Silyun. He knew that if he made it there, he could take one of
those famous portals and make it safely to warm weather and happiness. Around a mile into his trip,
right next to the same fishing hole that he has given up at every other
time, those same thoughts of family and the frost on his nose crept into his
mind. But he knew he had to press on. He knew he had to make it this time.
He could not stay another day in such a cold place. And that is what he did.
Laying on his belly and pushing his little feet, Mr P slid towards freedom
and his future. After many days, the little
penguin that never made it more then a single mile from his house could see
the outskirts of a human town. Very carefully, he snuck up in an attempt to
see if he could find a portal to take him to his destination. However there
was a gathering of humans in the town. There were too many people for him to
go any further so he decided he would wait where he was for the crowd to
break up and continue on his journey. They all seemed to be lined up to
speak to one particular person. Mr. P thought this must be an important
person for so many to be patiently waiting in line. When Mr. P finally woke up he
saw Sappho sitting on the end of the bed smiling at him. He remembered his
long journey here and wanted to somehow repay her for her kindness. Mr. P
asked what he could do and Sappho simply responded with, "Stay here and help
me with my events and that will be all the thanks I ever need." The lands near the ruined
Essence of Artifice and the Amperehelion Vault fell under siege from the
forces of a lightning elemental army, an army seemingly formed from a
massive shard of Crystalized Mana that had risen from the ground. As
Isparians rallied to the defense of the land and began their assaults a new,
never before seen enemy crackled to life from the crystallized mana – the
Galvanic Knight. This being, capable of
dispatching even the strongest of Isparians in mere moments, laid waste to
the defenders but eventually fell before the sheer numbers of the Isparian
defenses. The one who defeated the scintillating knight was rewarded with a
suit of Galvanic Armor. With its champion defeated and
its minions dispatched, the Crystallized Mana fell before the defending
forces. The following is a list of those
who received the Galvanic Armor (note: the person who received the suit of
Galvanic Armor and the person who may now possess it are not necessarily the
one and the same): Dragonetti (Morningthaw) Halloween is in the air as the festival season approaches. This has caused some strange things to happen in Dereth. We will let the pictures do the talking.
You said you wanted chicken for dinner, didn't you?
When good meatgrinder's go bad!
Even Shadow's like to have fun! Scary Pumpkins and Titles Galore --From the Turbine Site - Oct. 25, 2005 The time of year when the leaves change colors and the air gets a chill is upon us again. As we approach the beginning of the Festival season, there have been more occurances of Pumpkin, Scarecrow, and Shadow sightings. Is it just the season that is bringing these creatures out, or is there something bigger at work?
