Okies the storyline moved on and Glade vanished form Jurrels office, The Royal Guard (the players) were summoned to Brit Castle and a search was started. It was found for some reason Minoc was infested with swamp creatures, and Glade was wandering around in a dream like trance with the swamp monsters, although the monsters did not attack her.It was also noticed Glade would randomly drop either a un-named coloured seed or strange dust , which were both pickable. The guard fought the swamp monsters but they kept respawning, Jurrel suggested that Glade was somehow dreaming the Invasion and it was coming to life , so it was Glade that needed to be awoken. He also suggested maybe the smell of wine form her own town of Yew would do the trick. Players had to bribe the npcs in Yew Winery with a meat pie to get a Bottle of Yew Wine. This awoke Glade and the swamp spawn was finally killed off to free Minoc and free Glade form her nightmare sleep.

<font color="red"> 2007 The Book of Truth - Global Event</font>
As I write this, evil times are before us, but I’m confident the hearts of our people shall persevere. Though the days grow darker, there are many who still seek the light of Truth, for it is Truth that lends our arts the power to overcome all evil, if we but trust in it. But what is Truth, you might ask? Truth is that which is inherent in all things. It is the truth that we discover when we are able to see clearly, free from other distractions. As Lord British once wrote in the book titled Virtue, “Truth alone becomes Honesty, for without honesty between our people, how can we build the trust that is needed to maximize our successes? Truth tempered by Love gives us Justice, for only in a loving search for the truth can one dispense fair Justice, rather than create a cold and callous people. Courage and Truth give us Honor, great knights know this well, that chivalric honor can be found by adhering to this code of conduct.”
It is thus more than a mere symbol that we have lost in the Book of Truth; it is a necessary constituent of the very fabric of our way of life. Though the task of retrieving it is monumental and the risk grave indeed, we must continue to bravely venture forth until that which has been taken from us all has been restored to its rightful place.
Finally, my fellow seekers, let it be known that the brave soul who recovers the ''actual Book of Truth'' will be forever known for that great deed, his or her name immortalized in stone for all to see. Though we certainly do not wish to foster pride, we would be foolish not to honor the true heroes in our midst as exemplars of the Virtues!!
Players had to fight the evil minions that lay around the Lyceum and virtue dungeons, as they killed there foe and got lucky they were rewarded with a replica book of truth, these replicas could be handed in to get a much better reward...The whole event hinged on the person who received the most books of truth- only his/her name would be carved in stone as the finder of the real book of truth under the Lyceum!!

Those numbers in brackets, what do they represent? Are they meant to be price (unlikely) or amount given out (even more unlikely).

Damaged Wind Instrument, Old Cooking Pot and if I remember right... "Vase" (not in list, not craftable though) did drop in an event which was few months after AoS launch, it ended at Lost Land's Orc fort.

I think those 3 items were only ones from that event.
How do I know? I just happened to pick all 3 up

And later on sold them to errr Alladin? The guy with green hair and green

A few events I can think of, off the top of my head.

Britain Graveyard Invasion - Red/Blue liches, they had a chance to drop black dye tub. This was 2000 if I remember rightly.

Vesper Invasion - This was just a bit of spontaneous fun by Talos, I can't remember the exact date of this, but I believe it was in 2002. As far as I'm aware there was no 'quest' items as it were. I have some screenshots lying about of this.

Magincia Bonfire night - Again, I cant remember 100% the date of this, but if I remember correctly it was 2002, possibly 2003, certainly no later. There was a tremendous amount of griefing at this. Was another spawner event with no rewards as far as I'm aware.

Al'Cedra event quest line. (2000)
I'm not too familar with the actual story line of this event, as I never followed it, I do however remember a certain pair of Al'Cedra gloves which caused a bit of a stir with one of the boardies here. Wikkr. If I remember rightly, there was a few pair of gloves handed out. Perhaps Nilrem or Petra might know a little bit more about the whole story.

There is also a little bit about it here.

Serpant Questline - I can't for the life of me remember the name right now, but the throne room still exists for this. Initially we had to answer questions and fire off an email, I was one of the lucky ones to advance to the next round. Here we were seperated into teams. Each team was then placed into an arena, in which they had to fight. This caused a bit of a stir given that some people brought along non combantant chars(Quiby on her cook:p) - myself being one thinking my bard would be better suited. Anyhow, my team made a field alliance with another team to qualify for the next stage. The next stage consisted of a question and answer round. Eventually the contest was won by another boardie here, Fluffy - not the one who currently posts. The prize was a special green crook.

Red sheep event - I don't know the in's and out's of this event either, but my understanding was, to tame certain animals and such? Again it was won by some stratics boardies, and they were given red sheep as prizes, or had them from part of the event. Some players complained, and basically it cost Talo's his job - probably more through principle than a single doing. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not 100% certain.

Royal Lute - this was an event similar to that of the Serpant one, but it was discontinued. You can still see some of the 'clues' today - fire dungeon being one.

OSI PvP tourny - This was a multi-shard event that was never finished off. It was a poorly organised hideous event, particularly for Europa players. I remember my first fight was about 12am, with my second round scheduled for 2am. The prize was qualification to the final, which essentially was versus the winners of the other shards, but nothing ever came about. You can still see the remains of this on Drachenfels at least. I have pictures from Europa somewhere.

Nu'jelm tourny - This was an 'in-house' pvp tournement organised by Talos off the coast of Nu'jelm. I don't know the in's and out's of this tournement as I couldn't attend for whatever reason, but if I remember rightly, the winner got a statue with their name on, and it should still be standing today in Nu'jelm.

There's probably more, but thats all I can think of just now.

If I remember right that Jordan Jurel? guy was there (at Delucia) and people were supposed to go look for someone at Orc Fort.
Jordan began to lead people there, but I decided to go there before hand, and all those items I did loot from the ground along the way to Orc Fort.

Pot and Vase were on the ground on that road which leads to orc fort, cant remember specific locations.
And that damaged wind instrument I got inside the fort.

The fake blackrock jewellery consisted of Necklace, Ring and Earrings



As far as I remember we first spoke to Jordan Jurrell in Moonglow by the graveyard, then it was run to Moonglow Fel and run round like a ninny finding the jewellery.

I'm not aware of there being a count to see who found the most, if there was I missed out lol, I grabbed 3 bits in total but gave 2 bits to friends/guildies, then ended up trading to complete my set doh! lol

Red Sheep event.
We were invited to Moonglow for an tamer event.

For that talos had spawned red and blue sheep (red easier to tame, blue harder) near the zoo. I think red sheep gave one point and blue ten and then let us tame it.

Winner got a crook and some players kept the red sheep, which at some point caused trouble for talos.

Not sure if it was the same event where we could name the Moonglow animals - I still want an animal there named Aeribian! Talos though never got the code right and the animals did not stay.


OSI PVP tourney - was fun as there was a GM that said they would know when people wanted to watch and they would transport them. As I asked them if they could read minds they denied it though and I still wonder how they knew what people wanted to watch.

The Tourney was on all shards and the GMs were overwhelmed and out of their depth, though it was a nice idea, but with hardly any spectators allowed ....

Talos made a pirate Invasion of Skara with some burning ships and pirates attacking in waves for a few days.

He also had some executioners camps spawned on fire Island for a few weeks for fun. Anyone remember if it was for a storyline?

Big Orc invasion in Moonglow where I saw a pvper cornered by orcs and killed. Was a pretty big thing and pretty laggy if I remember right.

Strange Dust came from the Glade - Fake Jordan Jurrel event/story line,
Glade wondered Minoc in a trance like state dropping seeds and strange dust.

The Corrupted Heart Shield is also from the same event/story line, It was looted off the fake Jordan Jurrel's body along with the drauG nainnatriB layoR eht fo rednammoC Sash.

drauG nainnatirB layoR eht fo remeM Sashes were given out (I think) sometime during this event.

Numbered daggers (Named 1, 2, 5, and 10), We had to go to dungeon Hythloth (if my memory serves me correctly) kill mobs, collect daggers with numbers on, then return to Jordan's office, The person who had collected the most 'points' on the daggers received (I believe it was a draw so 2 sets were handed out)

The Champion of the Arena sash is being worn in that pic by Puppie.

I have a Princess of Jesters jester hat I bought from Winder to replace the one I lost to someone who dry looted my accounts during my UO break.

I remember doing a few of the Alcedra riddle quests with then members of NbN. Lemo was particularly clever at the riddles!

Most often there was a meet up, we'd randomly be placed into groups of three or four to work together to solve the riddles, and then we'd all run around like mad things collecting items or more information and the first to arrive at the final destination would have non-modded items bestowed upon them.

Fun days. The Seers are a true loss.

Hiya TopHousePlotter,

I was the EM for Europa from about 2003 to 2004, so I can answer some of your questions about the events (assuming I can actually remember any of it).

About the items on your list, here's a stab at where they came from;

Savage Invasion of Delucia (Early 2004 sometime)
Ceremonial Vase
Damaged Wind Instrument
Old Cooking Pot

Dark Wisp Fight in the FoA dungeon in Ilshenar
Crystal Wisp Fragment

Some fight with Minax and two boss creatures in the Moonglow Lycaeum
Life's Ruination
Oblivian's Needle

Fight with Minax's generals in the Ice Dungeon (I think)
Gauntlets of Anger
Ornate Encrusted Armguards

Some event in the Exodus dungeon
Pacify
Quell
Calm
Subdue

Fight with Blackthorn
Treacheary

Anything with Obsidian in front of it came from the Obsidian Tournament events, which were PvP tournaments in Malas.

A (very) rough outline of the events on Europa from early to mid 2004 is as follows;

-Savages Invade Delucia
-Marcus Forlan (an archaeologist who provoked the invasion by taking savage relics) goes missing and the players track down what appears to be his body in a savage ritual cave.
-The players all dress up as savages and infiltrate a savage tribe meeting, but find out that Marcus is still alive.
-Obsidian Tournament takes place in Malas
-Some people get kidnapped by some Gargoyles and the players track them down and capture one of the gargoyles.
-The gargoyle is interrogated and the players run around Britain finding more clues (for which they are rewarded with Detective Sashes).

I can't remember the exact timeline of the rest of the events, but basically, it turned out that Marcus wasn't dead, but had been captured by the savages and tortured. He escaped, but the damage was already done and he had gone mad. He stumbled across an old cave and tried to hide in it, but it was actually the tomb of an old evil spirit. The spirit was trapped inside an ancient helmet, and tricked Marcus into wearing it. It then began working away at his mind, turning him evil and convincing him to lead an attack on Britain with liches.

Eventually this all culminated in a big PvP event wherein the Royal Guard were on one side and the followers of Marcus were on the other. It was a sort of king of the hill style event, with four control points in each of the team's main bases (Britain and the Trinsic jungles).

The evil team won and so Lord Helrick (the head of the Royal Guard) died as a penalty. He took Marcus down on the way out though, so it was more a draw


If the story ever seemed a bit "all over the show", it's because we never knew whether we were going to have more events to do and so had to try and make some sort of balance between writing a good, long-term story arc, and something that could have ended in 2 weeks. Not too easy heh. The events about the gargoyles in the middle of that story arc above were actually meant to be an intro into a big storyline I had planned about a cartel of inter-facet people smugglers. I even had their hideout in the Ethereal Void planned out in a lot of detail, as well as sketches and backstories of the three ring leaders, but it just didn't work out time-wise. Because of that, I then went back and revived the Marcus Forlan storyline and retooled it a bit so that it could be wrapped up in a month or so (after which I quit being an EM because I didn't have the spare time anymore).

I wish I could give more useful info, but I thought that I had all my old event design documents saved somewhere and now can't seem to find them
