The Events Team is pleased to announce two new Gurus in the World.
Please welcome GM Kaonashi as the new Town Guru of Kraken’s Fall. I’m sure many of you have noticed his uptick of participation in the Kraken’s Fall Folder and the new faces that he’s brought to Kraken’s Fall over the past few weeks. We are excited to see what he will be doing. He will be supported by Kraken’s Fall’s past gurus and other KF enthusiasts.
Please also welcome GM Warlockes as the new Race Guru of Dark Elves. Warlockes is already working on Autumn and Winter Holidays, as well as other documents. We are enthusiastic about his knowledge in the area and look forward to his work. He will be supported by the other Race Gurus as well as the Lore Guru at every turn.
Please offer congratulations to them both.

CREATING ADVENTURE: PM Wyrom announced that the June 2024 Creating Adventure is ready at the GS Wiki. This “State of Elanthia” is a much-anticipated digest that looks back and forward to GemStone’s plans for the coming year. His topics move from infrastructure and upgrades to systems, an overhaul, engagements, and the Year in Review. Enjoy the read!

ALE FESTIVAL: The Ale Festival on Teras begins at 9pm on Friday, June 21 and will close at 11:59pm on Sunday, June 23. Expect some raffles, some shops, and at least one event each day. It’s open to everyone! Travel to Teras via the old-school Glaesen Star Ferry (minimum level 20, 10k silvers), on an OSA Ship, or use OSA Travel with the Portmaster (cost varies – ASK PORTMASTER ABOUT TRAVEL). Don’t forget other options: the Chronomages or Premium Chrono Orb travel, too!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Visit Glaoveln and the city of Glaeve via either the White Wyrm, or on your OSA ship. This is thanks to the efforts of a Northwatch expedition where the Northwatch Krolvin were placed in charge of the island and agreed to end the practice of slavery there.
Text of Discord Post follows:
Glaovel and the City of Glaeve
Greetings, Grarrogs!
Months ago, the krolvin stronghold of Glaoveln was consumed by fire and smoke as the volcano Moradg erupted in a once-in-a-lifetime pyroclasm. Survivors of the disaster sent a desperate message to their kin in Northwatch, and the folk of the newborn nation responded.
After fending off the forces of the Iron Harpy, an isolationist krolvin leader allegedly backed by the sinister Dusk Coven, the folk of Northwatch backed their ally Jkarog’s bid for leadership of the city.
Glaoveln and the city of Glaeve can now be accessed by the White Wyrm, which is ferrying travelers by air, and the open sea by ship.

I want to send out a huge thank you to those involved with Premium Festival this year. So many GM’s joined in to make it a fun time.
I want to shout out to those who made shops, came in to merchant, ran raffles, wrote scripts, and played NPC’s: GM’s Azidaer, Casil, Elysani, Kaonashi, Lydil, Marstreforn, Meraki, Naiken, Optheria, Thandiwe, Tivvy, Valyrka, Warlockes, Weaves, Xayle, Xeraphina, and Xynwen. The whole QC team is amazing and got things out in record time. A special thank you to Tamuz, Xayle, and Ethereal for their help with the lomselea tree we grew, APM Estild and Dev for all of their permissions for raffle items, and APM Isten for his fast qc of the souvenir item. I must also recognize GM Ysuri for his amazing new spinner.
I hope everyone enjoyed the new tidbits of lore, with a special thank you to GM’s Xayle, Lydil, and APM Tivvy for their support and help, and GM Mariath for her QC.
It certainly takes a village.
And last but definitely not least, thank you to all of the players who came out and enjoyed the sprites, bringing their glade to life. Thank you for your creativity, energy, passion, and patience.
