A new section was added this evening to the Dawn Royal Library and Outpost in Malas: The Gravewater Shores/UG.K Memorial Bookcase.



The Underground Knights [UG.K] is a community-oriented guild, whose player-run city, Gravewater Shores, once took up the entire western coastline of Gravewater Lake. It was a massive city, rivaling even the Kingdom of Dawn and New Grimswind in size and scope. Buildings from the original town can still be found dotting the coastline.

The Memorial Bookcase is made up of books and items that were discovered in a crumbling building by Sara [SI]. They were eventually passed on to Grand Duchess Wildstar [DWN], who chose to put these pieces on display in memorial of the player-run town and its inhabitants.

The Dawn Library and Outpost can be found on the western road just outside of the City of Umbra. It is the first building west of Lord & Lady Courages Museum. Go take a look.

A friend of mine, a renowned Scribbler, once wrote a marvelous History of Gravewater Shores for U.G.K..

Perhaps a copy survived the destruction.

I remember well the Grand Opening, tour and Events at Gravewater.

Baja is so fortunate to have some of the best reporters and historians anywhere. There's nothing like sitting with a good strong cup of coffee in the morning while reading the articles on this forum. Thank you for all the time and effort put into these threads. :thumbsup:

Baja!!
I owned the bank for them for about a year. It was an honor to be a part of the great big city. Arlon and I had one of the first larger houses along the water/void, neither was more than a few steps from our home. Having UGK as neighbors was awesome! They are a great bunch and always so considerate. I'll have to come by and see this memorial soon.

Aye, indeed. That is why this shard continues to tug at my heartstrings, no matter how far away I roam. It is a very special place.

Thanks for all the kind words about my old city. It was a ton of fun setting up these houses for everyone to check out and the Grand Opening was an absolute blast.

We actually ended up having guild jobs for folks just to work on the city. Lots of trust was involved with co owning members to decorate the houses and such.

I think there are some of the houses still around to check out. Brings back memories :)

DamagePlan, a former member of UG.K, donated a deed for character statue of Generic, another member of UG.K. It can now be seen in the Memorial Bookcase.

Thank you DamagePlan.

Is Damageplan still playing on Baja? I have been trying to get ahold of him but his ICQ must not be in use anymore.

I'll take a look and see if Damage is still around I actually reactivated one of my accounts last night and started goofing around. I will check the guild roster tonight.
