Tonight's EM event

[MariamATL]

Any idea where to go or meet for tonight's EM event?? Thanks for the help!

The EM Website does not list specifics, but says there is something tonight... but click on the date in the calendar and it has something listed.

Apparently there is an EM Lantern at either Britain Moongate or Bank. I haven't been able to log in and check as of yet.

Edit:
Atlanta the EM Crier at Luna Bank is saying the following:

Tonight, Sunday October 18th @ 9:00 pm EST, meet at the Moonglow bank in Trammel.

Also posted on the EM calendar is this:

The Crypt of the Dark Brethren
by Eris

The time is at hand to rescue the Arcane Guardian, using the Words of Power gained from the failed Cromwell expedition. Venture deep into the crypt of the Dark Brethren, face deadly guardians and cunning traps, if you dare.

Thank you!!! I forgot about Atlanta! I had checked the UOEM website and found the "cryptic" information from the bottom but after searching Stratics for all of the capital words still had NO idea what was going on.

First Chapter: Ancient History to the Shattering of the Gem
The circumstances at the utmost beginning of the world are wholly unknown to us. It may be that great civilizations rose and died leaving no trace we can tell, or that Sosaria was simply barren for eons. Whichever be the case, it eventually came to pass that two intelligent species dwelled in Sosaria: the Juka and the Meer. Known only recently to us, the Juka are a war-like reptilian race with a highly developed code of honor, while the Meer are feline, strongly gifted in magic, and have values centered upon reverence of ancestors. For millennia, they played out a war in ancient landscapes, yet never shifting the balance of power between them. Humans and gargoyles also existed in this world, but they were not of this world, having entered through moongates from places unknown. They were mere savages, though, and played no important role in history.

Whether early or late in the reign of the Meer I cannot tell, but they did come into contact with creatures long known in Britannia: the wisps. The wisps are actually more properly called Xorinia, for it is in actuality but a single intelligence with many manifestations spanning countless worlds. In fact they seem not wholly convinced by the concept of individuality, and have been known to assume all the individuals contacting them from any given dimension as parts of a vast entity like themselves. There is much more to tell about wisps, but at this point what is important is that the wisps provided to a Meer named Zog the spell known as Armageddon. Zog subsequently employed this spell, eradicating all life from Sosaria. It was not the wisps’ intent to end all life - the spell was merely offered as an example of the extent of the wisps’ knowledge. "Misuse of the sample information is suspected," according to the wisps.

Only wisps know how many lonely eons passed until life rose anew. It is said that the first new life in Sosaria was a great Yew tree, though one can only imagine how this could be known. Humans once again encountered the moongates that brought them to Sosaria. Rising out of some dark and primitive past these humans began to form tribes, and then kingdoms. At this time there were also other races: elves, dwarves, and bobbits, but their numbers were small. The gargoyles also returned, but lived underground, largely unknown to humans. Eventually one kingdom rose in might above all the others and became an empire. This was the Esidin Empire. Esidin's power began by its will and martial prowess, but its greatest achievement and its sustainer was the Ancient Liturgy of Truth. This tradition was both a system of philosophy and of magical power that became the cornerstone of Esidin culture. The symbol of these beliefs was the ankh, and the Esidin built many shrines to Truth. The sum total of magical knowledge available today pales in comparison to what was known to the Esidin, but their knowledge was not perfect. Many magical creatures, including gazers, headless, reapers, corpers, and harpies, are believed to be unintended consequences of their ancient spells.

I don't mind if the EMs have cryptic messages. What bothers me is when they hide the announcements. For example, these events are now in the calander side and my RSS won't pick it up.
There are lanterns tho...

 

[Tomas_Bryce]

I don't think they hide announcements on purpose. It's just that their website, a legacy from the previous EM, is bit of a labyrinth. I never find the information I am looking on there either, but always seem to find something I had no idea about

Perhaps, they should consider scrapping it and using a template. There are plenty of good templates available for things like wordpress.

 

[Ahuaeyjnkxs]

You said it... a BIT of a labyrinth, no honestly, you cannot really mean what you just said.

You're just part of the coalition that would rather forget about the lessons of the past, and why Kanmare left us.

 

[MariamATL]

So.....I didn't play much at all over the summer....game was boring....I was busy....etc.

Why did Kanmare leave us? (just curious)

 

[Tazar]

The official reason she gave was that she felt she was unable to devote the time that the Atlantic community deserved. I believe that she is still with the program on a quieter shard.

Honestly, after attending a few of those events and seeing the way many players disrespected what the EM's were trying to do for us, it's a job I would never want! Helping Sakkarah with many of her old events was lots of fun though!

 

[Kalonis]

Is the Moonglow Invasion Event still planned?

Website is blank now, no lanterns, Atlanta is silenced.

 

[MariamATL]

Tazar I wholeheartedly agree about NEVER wanting to be an EM!! ATL players are (for the most part) brutal with them - interrupting them everytime they speak and constantly downing everything they do. I for one have enjoyed the new EM events. I just wish ATL players would have a little more class and respect for them.
