Sholen has crossed the paths of two mirrors, and been incinerated by a beam of incandescent light as a result.

That's pretty cool.

The prestigious title of Prime Minister is bestowed upon you by Siarde, and with it, the powers of Air Lord are yours to command.

Yay. Thanks to people who helped, I can be quite a dunce sometimes with figuring out basic syntax for things... I stand by my earlier affirmation of so much of the syntax being so obvious, yet not obvious at the same time. Damn it's expensive though!

The story line had its funny moments, even though they're all snobs. Siarde is tho.

Ah yes, the "try to BLOW everything" maneuver just because it's air-related can start to get rather awkward

An explosion of angry red flame rises from the ground, giving way to the unholy form of a stygian daemon jackal.

This sounds silly, but it's been a long time since I was as happy about anything in game as I am about this.

It's Secret Ironbeard time again in Ashtan, and this year, @Dunn pulled my name out of the hat. I am truly astounded by the thoughtfulness of this gift, and the work that @Kyrra put in to realising it:

A bronze-framed painting of Ashtan's triumph.

The precise brush-strokes of this large oil painting depict the ruins of a once-grand building. Scorched walls and cracked stones form a harsh background reminiscent of the aftermath of a destructive battle. Emerging from the devastation is the cyclonic form of Uacyll, Emissary of Whiirh. Hovering above the ground, harsh brush-strokes of pale blues and light greys capture the gathering storm that surrounds its herculean body with stark relief. Three figures stand dwarfed before the hulking Emissary toward the left side of the frame. A blue-scaled xoran stands tall in a suit of bronzed ceremonial armour, an imposing looking frill framing his head. Klendathu, Ixteolotl Teotl. To the xoran's left stands a handsome mhun of commanding stature in a suit of blackened iron armour, the formidable form of Dunn Lichlord, Warlord of Ruin. To the right of the xoran is a smaller atavian man sporting a stunning plumage of smoky grey wings and surrounded by stray feathers floating in a double helix formation; the lean physique of Penwize Baker. The breathtaking form of Lord Vastar stands to the right of Uacyll, looking favourably upon the three mortals for the restoration of the Air's conduit on the Prime plane. The bronzed hue of His olive skin is lit from within by Divine countenance, framed by a glorius pair of magnificant wings that stretch outward and up behind the Skylord. Surrounding the painting is an ornately cast bronze frame, denoting the significance of the image.

@Kyrra is way better at painting than I am. I really suck at designing anything outside my characters theme so I am forever grateful for her bringing my idea to life!

This event and the three of us standing there not knowing what was about to happen will stick in my mind as one of the great Achaean moments for me. @Penwize with the cameo too!

Kyrra

A hidden talent that only appears at Logosmas!

The painting I did for Jhui two years ago as a Logosmas present is still one of my fave things in the game.

Never really considered Kyrra an artist by any means. I just love the deep pigments of oils and how vividly enriching they make things.

I was delighted when I got @Dunn’s request and even more thrilled when I’d gotten @Klendathu’s response. Best Logosmas ever.

Shirszae

Bruyan, the town crier shouts, "Hear ye! Oh yez! On this day the one known as Shirszae Nynniaw is raised

to the rank of Regent in the Water Court! Hail to the first of the Water Lords! Oh yez!"

This has been an amazing roller-coaster.  There were points where I honestly didnt think I'd make it, either because I felt a little frustrated or because I knew a lot of people were on the same rank as me, if a little behind on the quests, but lots of people stuck with me, encouraged me, helped me kill things like the dreadpilar, put up with me pestering them near constantly with questions and things. There's a lot of people who helped, like @Keorin who basically accompanied me the whole way as we traded ideas and discussed how to move forward during the moments where I was stuck. @Ictinus put up with me a lot when I asked about stuff, whether every little thing was working as intended or teasing him for his definition of 'obvious', or @Calira who somehow finished the Dreadpilar by herself when the rest of our awesome group wiped.

@Kei, @Draqoom, @Krypton, @Bronislav, @Ahmet, @Rilinstra, @rhydian, @Regi, @AllTheCyrenianDragons, @Miriew, @all those I am missing because I am way too excited to think clearly.

To all those who congratulated me or helped me or put up with me venting, thanks

I love this:


∘ You rip into a rogue leopard with your massive, deadly claws.
∘ In a valiant attempt to stymie his fate, a rogue leopard leaps one final time into the air before crashing to the ground with a nauseating thud and a sickening yelp of defeat.
∘ You have slain a rogue leopard, retrieving the corpse.

I didn't want to see the truly all-time fishing rankings go away come January, so:

ThIs makes me happy.  I was kinda sad knowing another piece of @Sryn was going away.

The RANKINGS FISHING ALLTIME will still be overwritten when someone manages to catch a bigger fish, but to illustrate why the rankings change was necessary : All of the current ranking fish are near the maximum set weight they can spawn with, I estimate odds between 0.01% and 0.25% to even hook a fish that could potentially be a recordbreaker - and that's before even managing to reel it in.

Krypton

Are a few fish at their absolute max weight on ALLTIME already? Are those record-holder names pretty much set in stone forever, or they can be replaced if someone new "matches" the weight?

Shirszae

After fooling around with it for a day and a bit, I have to say I utterly love the flavour of Water Lord as much as I love the Alcazar. Whoever wrote it has all my

None of them are at their absolute max weight, though some are just a few ounces under it.
As for the current rankings, they will be overwritten if someone does manage to catch a heavier variant of the fish in question. Though as stated, the chances of one of these even spawning will be incredibly low.

Torinn

@Ictinus for yet again coming to save the day, and on a holiday weekend no less!  You sir are my personal hero and when I grow up I want to be just like you.

Kyrra

Thank you to @Trey and @Devran for the stockings

Minifie

@Aegoth @Ailea @Taryius @Melodie @Alrena @elisella @syndra @lii for giving me IMMENSE support and help during a tough end of year with trying to do my first complete novice task set.

Mostly, though, @Saeva for giving me an immense framework to start with, and heaps of sound advice when building from it. I would have no idea how to start if I hadn't been given an awesome start to my first house position in nearly 15 years. 

To the nameless who may prefer to not be publicly outed as talking to me: Thank you too. I'm sure you know who you are .

Torinn

Raves to Hashan for a good few fights in the Sunderlands.  Thanks dudes and dudettes!

Hey, @Aegoth, check this out :

Elementalism

* HOLOCAUST now has a chance to set people that it hits onfire.
* MAGMASPHERE has been added to the skill. We are pondering a water one too, air will remain
strictly the province of sylvans.

Ha, can't imagine if Holocaust heals Fire Lords while magma heals Earth Lords...

Got to admit, I am -loving- the Housing servant options that let you customize and be as creative as you like. To see my creations come to life (figuratively speaking) before me is just so much fun.

I really don't write raves enough, so here's one for @Jadys for helping me get those fairy wings while I save up for the real deal and for giving me the motivation to keep going with the elemental stuff. Also a shout out to @Austere for all the fun raiding, etc. we've done lately. Y'all made my last week of leave a blast!
