Hi everyone.
As few remember, I got Ron Silverbeard's historic castle on Pacific, with all of its contents. I promised then to keep the building and make it a museum... and I have not forgotten.
Now its summer and I don't have to worry about my studies - so I am once again working on the museum. (See my threads over in the rares forums for items I'm seeking).
The Pacific Memorial Museum is located on Dagger (Ice) Isle in Trammel. You can sail there if you wish, or use the handy-dandy port-tile from the Yew Community Center (see pics below).
So, am working diligently on the castle, building new floors/rooms, displaying the many wonderful treasures Ron had hidden, and setting out a lot of my own rares from Napa. The building is indeed public, but still a work in progress so please do wear your helmets to protect your noggins.
I have chests full of stuff I'm still filtering through and organizing, plus I'm gathering/mining/buying all the granite my poor miner can find. When totally completed, will throw a small event/party/contest.
Planning to have that before the next semester begins in August.
*Do note, as I meet my goals, will update this first post with info/links and such.
How to get to the Pacific Memorial Museum
If you use the teleport pad, you will arrive in the foyer of the museum. You can use that same access point to return to Yew, Trammel.

Museum Information
The Pacific Memorial Museum is fore-mostly dedicated to the history of the Pacific Shard of Sosaria, with some pieces and history from the Napa Valley Shard on special display as well as Europa items transferred by Ron. The name of the building is dedicated to Ron Silverbeard's friends and guilds and shall never change. The castle is registered and part of the UO Historical Society, having been place on June 23, 2000.
Ron Silverbeard was a player and Stratics benefactor, operating behind the scenes to help this historic piece of the internet survive deletion. His leadership, advice, and dedication to the community of Stratics, and Ultima Online, shall never be forgot. He decided to part from UO for other adventures, and gifted his castle and all his belongings (including some very special pets) to Kirthag DiOrsae's Player.
Kirthag DiOrsae is a long standing, if silent (ninja-like) at times, Sosarian. Get her ire up though and her celtic heritage shows in full, furious glory! Her personal beast handler, The Black, manages the day-to-day operations and construction of the museum, while Tandy performs all of the heavy and skilled labor.
Kirthag's first adventures in the world included a sewing kit, a vicious Bloodrock Urk, and the Yew Forests long before the revelation and opening of Trammel. Her travels lead her to Napa Valley, where she thrived with the strong role playing community there for several years. She also contributed to the Stratics community in several capacities: Reporter (twice) for Napa Valley, Content Manager, Developer, Admin, and finally Publisher before taking a bow and now simply acting as consultant when asked. So long as Kirthag rides the roads of Sosaria, she has pledged to keep the Pacific Memorial Museum open and growing.
If you would like to contribute to the Pacific Memorial Museum, feel free to PM Kirthag here at Stratics. She is always looking for ancient artifacts to add to the museum's collection, particularly unique books penned by such contributors. Items are preferred over gold/plat, and plain granite donations will always be accepted!
