Oh, so I'm not the only one getting these. I signed in to get a copy of one I got a couple of days ago, and got the Augustus Dras one as I was checking my journal. This is the first one I got:
Greetings!
We have recently delivered a large quantity Kashari spice which is being
help in good faith by the Zanzibaar port authority. In order for us to
obtain this rare spice, we will require a monetary backing of 1,000,000
golden sovereigns to release it from the Harbour Master. This spice, as
you are well aware, as an intelligent and sophisticated individual sells
for a significant profit on the open market. Please send the gold with
due haste to the Harbour Master of Zanzibaar.
Your Partner,
Lochis Loland
Captain of the Ocean Breeze
I actually -went- to Zanzibaar to snoop around, but unfortunately wasn't able to unearth anything of particular interest. These seem to be just randomly sent out for lulz, which is rather disappointing since random letters in the past have lead to some really interesting RP experiences.
You read what is written on an elegant white letter:
Salutations,
In my official capacityas Mayor's Aide, I regret to inform you that your
long lost Great Uncle has passed away, leaving considerable holdings in
New Thera as well as the surrounding countryside. As he left no heir,
you stand to inherit a large sum of gold. This will be sent to you upon
proof of your identity, by leaving 500,000 golden sovereigns with the
Gravedigger of New Thera. This gold will be returned to you upon your
identity being confirmed. We thank you for your discretion in this
matter.
Sincerely,
Judinka Julia
Aide to the Mayor of New Thera
Not my long lost Great Uncle!
I am going to go over there to get horrible revenge for what was done to
@Kaden by the New Thera scam. I will kill the Gravedigger, who so
wronged @Kaden , take his shovel, dig him a grave in the graveyard and
bury him in it. They'll never find out. Not even though I posted
everything on forums for all to see. Now, uh, excuse me, I have to
Duanathar to, uh, Targossas. Yeah. Targossas.

That or it's preparation for finally unveiling Therophage, where along with the nations we've already heard of, Kashar and Aztlan, we'll find several that we have not, such as the mysterious Nigeria.
So was checking HISTORY CT and found this little gem:
- 2015/02/28 06:45:16 - @Aegoth says, "Hitler had such a huge advantage for such a great part of the war, but he withdrew at two critical points due to very poor judgement." - 2015/02/28 06:45:19 - Aegoth says, "Erm, mis."
Your peripheral view of the mundane world hazes as a dark vision of the graveyard plane foists itself upon your mind.
Cradling a fragment of the Sceptre of Divinity in Her palms, the Jade Empress raises it to the dark, fog-laden skies and sweeps a portal open into utter blackness.
Crystalline and clear, Lorielan's voice cascades powerfully, "Potential's breath, come you to Me."
First creeping upon silent fingers, and then pouring in all its swirling, celestial glory, the auroric sweep of the Ventos Allegos answers the imperious summons.
The charge of potential loads the air with a sharp, metallic taste, unsettling creatures with its impending promise. Clouds race across the firmament, changing direction with haphazard whim as the shriek of birds calls out a foreboding alarm.
An ear-splitting crack resounds through the ether, cast from the very depths of Nishnatoba. The firmament trembles in its wake, a great, rippling shockwave shuddering through air and earth alike.
Dark plumes of smoke rise into view, signalling the destruction of the Icons of the Living Tarot, the Triune Globe, and the Heart of Shadows.
The bowels of Nishnatoba split open with an almighty groan as an earthquake of immeasurable magnitude wrecks through the world, its primal fury wreaking untold havoc.
One by one, the the last of the standing Icons disintegrate to naught but dust, and the air grows heavy with an unsettling haze.
The Ventos Allegos seethes in tumultuous chaos as the Icons of the Viridian Tome and the Stag Crown crumble, its force drawn into the resulting void.
Great charges of static prickle through the air as the Ventos Allegos seeps into the Prime Material Plane, its power unleashed.
You say to Kaie in a gentle, ethereal voice, "We'll be able to say someday...remember when Lady Lorielan went cray and we watched from off-plane?"
You shuffle over to Kaie and shyly take his hand in yours.
You gaze deep into the soul of Kaie, your heart in your eyes.
Kaie utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
You allow a wry smile to grace your lips.
Just kidding about the cray thing. Cool stuff Lady @Lorielan!
Lady Artemis' awakening for those who missed it. Very cool sights indeed!
As a violent tremor thunders through the earth, dark wisps of smoke slowly rise from the volcano of Dun Valley.
Toxic tendrils of smoke rise steadily into the air from Dun Valley, and with a final, deafening roar the volcano reaches its perilous crescendo. Bursts of bubbling lava scorch the air as the eruption takes hold, and the firmament bleeds with a reddish-orange hue.
Slowly, the ashen smog begins to churn, surging into a fiery cyclone that burns through the haze. Amongst the devastation, the form of a woman coheres.
The earth rumbles ominously as the voice of Artemis, Goddess of the Cataclysm, booms across the firmament, "The Ventos Allegos was promised, and so it came. Yet, never in My wildest dreams did I hope to see its actualisation."
The earth rumbles ominously as the voice of Artemis, Goddess of the Cataclysm, booms across the firmament, "To You, Jade Empress, I owe thanks. For You have proven that not even the Omniscient are able to escape the power of Nature."
With an amused smirk, the Goddess of the Cataclysm - awakened anew - resumes Her place amongst the Garden of the Gods.
Crystalline and clear, Lorielan's voice cascades powerfully, "It would not do to let You sleep overlong, My Catastrophic Sister. Creation and Order welcomes You back to wakefulness."
Stirring the undergrowth, the hushed cadence of the Wildwood Queen resonates, "So it was, and so shall it ever be: the eternal union of Nature reigns. Hand in hand, the world shall flourish under Our guidance, reclaimed anew. Dearest Cataclysm, it is an honour."
The earth rumbles ominously as the voice of Artemis, Goddess of the Cataclysm, booms across the firmament, "My Sister, long have I yearned to nurture and guide Our faithful Hand in Hand with You. A new era begins."
Plus another 49 (142 total) whose presence you cannot fully sense.
Ohh, what what?! What did I miss? Start asking some questions, and as I am:

And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
So wait, all the remaining Icon are destroyed or...?
yep, the icons got Lorielan'd
Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!" Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh." Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
So wait, all the remaining Icon are destroyed or...?

I knew getting those two hours of sleep was a mistake!
what is this sleep you speak of
Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!" Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh." Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
You say to Antidas in a dark, forceful voice, "You trespassed in my nest, Antidas." Antidas says in a soft voice, "Your "nest" was harboring an Eleusian who raided Targossas." You form a ball of light in your palm and hurl it upwards. You have recovered equilibrium. Antidas says in a soft voice, "Perhaps take more care with who you allow in your city." You say in a dark, forceful voice, "Not my problem. Defend yourself."
Tesha tells you, "You are killing Antidas?" You tell Tesha, "He trespassed in my nest. He dies, or I will."
Sadly, not much came from it. Serpent-v.-Serpent combat is more mournful than locking a Mhaldorian in a padded room. Still, it's fun to play out Bron's very primal, very aggressive territoriality, despite his sympathy toward Targossas' situation and his general disapproval of Eleusis' tomfoolery.
It seems to be about setting up for Bite, I think. Enmesh and Web to keep them entangled, Rend to prep and break limbs, Dragoncurse to keep their curing busy, Envenom claws for venom stuff.
I really should learn myself, and I've been meaning to because I do want to learn how to fight as a dragon, but I have a habit of procrastinating. Always seems to be something else for me to do. Or bash.
- (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place." - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely." - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")." - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish." - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
CIJ icon was first to go down? @Lorielan clearly hates the CIJ. We will be sending her the bill though. We might settle for a cool glowy crystal from the jade realm, however.
@Bronislav@SarathaiRend x 4 will break limbs. You can prep with curare to slow their offense, prefarar to work a little pre-damage in...prep both legs and an arm (using enmesh to bypass parry), breathstorm, break the arm, break a leg, bite, break the other leg, bite again, roar and if they shield blast and hope that does the trick! If they'll stay in the room with you, that's the general technique, I think. Also, dragoncursing single affs is on its own balance, so always do that - it can drain willpower quickly, but can help make the difference (especially in group combat).
