Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

==== Live Services Open Tomorrow ====

'''Live Services Open Tomorrow!'''

Grab your Service Pass and get ready for an action-packed four days as merchants descend upon Evermore Hollow from Friday, October 16th at noon through Tuesday, October 20th at midnight.

Each Service Pass grants up to 10 live services from working merchants. Pay close attention to each merchant’s Jack-o'-Lantern, which displays crucial details about how that artisan operates.

'''New This Year'''

:'''Guide Book Direct Transport:''' If you own a Guide Book to the Unliving, check the working merchants section. This year, you can use it to transport directly to their workrooms. Best of all, this feature is no longer locked behind a Service Pass, and it works for everyone in your group. (Note: Only group members holding a Service Pass will see merchant-specific messaging).
:'''Saga Integration:''' Download the latest version of Saga to access the new Ebon Gate window, built specifically to display merchant rules. No more scrolling through game text; the rules pop up the moment you step through a merchant’s door.
:'''Expanded Raffle Verb:''' Use RAFFLE LIST to check all active raffles, plus new integration that allows you to view Treasure Trove details directly from the command.

'''Important Reminders'''
: '''Treasure Trove''': Remember to PULL your Service Pass to participate in the Treasure Trove. The preview for the first five items kicks off tonight!
: '''Alter Books:''' Once the final merchant packs up on October 21st, remember to TEAR your Service Pass to receive an Alter Book. Alter Books start at a base of 5 charges and scale upward if you missed any live services:
* 10 services claimed: 5 charges
* 9 services claimed: 6 charges
* 8 services claimed: 7 charges
* Unclaimed services continue to convert into bonus book charges using this same formula.

'''''We are hydrated, energized, and ready for an incredible run. See you at the Evermore Hollow!'''''

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.

====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

=== Announcement - Treasure Trove Explained ===
'''What is the Treasure Trove at Ebon Gate?'''
: The treasure trove, located in the Parlor of Gavelsdown Hall in Evermore Hollow is a prize distribution system. 10 prizes are loaded into each cabinet at the beginning of the distribution cycle. There are 5 cabinets.
: At the start of the distribution cycle, a realm-wide announcement goes out to all present letting you know that something new is up for raffle.
'''Preview Windows'''

'''How do I get a token?'''

'''''What does that mean?'''''
:That means, when you redeem a merchant pass, you can get 10 tokens to use with ANYONE on your account.

There is no need to be tracked down by a GameMaster, sit around at the Trove waiting for the item, or worry that you miss a pick-up window.
'''Wait! Do I need to have a pass redeemed on the character on my account that I want to enter the trove with?'''
: No. You only need to redeem the pass on the character that you want to get the Live Services, or that you want to attend the Live Games, Raffles, and Auctions with.

You deposit a small amount of soap from your glass jar into your palm and then rub your hands together. You apply the soap generously to your face, the rich lather working to remove the impurities from the surface of the skin.
Lingering on your skin is the faint scent of roses.

>look Vaella
You see Vaella.
She appears to be a Human.
She is tall. She appears to be very young. She has long-lashed pale blue eyes and fair skin. She has long, touseled smoke-hued hair gathered over one shoulder and woven with dried flowers. She has a heart-shaped face, a small nose and full, blush-tinted lips. A magnificent beard of soap bubbles clings to her face.
</pre>
Wait! There's still more! Thanks to GM @Vanah , you'll be able to choose from a plethora of scents for your spa products OR pour in your own favorite perfume.

PS. Someone please tell Katara so she can stop bugging the tubs.

PPS. Vaella will be working at merchant week to provide custom sit messaging for folding chairs AND tubs. Don't miss out.

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

[[Illusion Pets]]: Petrified Bones and Updates

A new flavor of illusion bone has arrived, and the whole wishbone family has had some polish.

'''Petrified Bones'''
:Standard wishbones replace your profession pet's look entirely. Petrified bones are different: your pet keeps its own look and gains an adornment on top of it, so your "woodland wolfhound" stays a woodland wolfhound, just now "with
* a pastel ribbon-wrapped unicorn horn" (as an example). There is one petrified bone for each pet type:
* a petrified wizard bone (Wizard familiars)
* a petrified spirit bone (Spirit servants)
* a petrified demon bone (Minor Summoning demons)
* a petrified animate bone (Animated creatures)
* a petrified companion bone (Ranger companions)
* a petrified bardic bone (Singing swords)

Petrified bones work on any pet of their type, and their adornment is '''alterable'''. Any willing merchant may change the adornment phrase on a petrified bone, following the usual alteration rules. Standard bone illusions remain fixed.

'''Fixes and improvements for all illusion bones'''
* Animated creatures of every type can now take a 'petrified' illusion, including animates that previously reported "not an acceptable profession pet."
* Looking at a pet wearing a petrified illusion now shows the adorned look.
* When an illusion ends, your pet returns to exactly how it looked before, description included.
* Waving a bone that is already sustaining an illusion on another of your pets now tells you to CLEAN it first instead of silently tangling the two.
* Offering a bone to someone who declines it no longer dissolves your pet's illusion. Handing it over still does.
* Waving at a pet that already has an illusion now says so, rather than calling it a customized pet.
* Illusion bones cannot be used in areas where magic does not function.
* ANALYZE on a bone now tells you its mode and exactly which pets it works on.
* Customized pets are still ineligible.

As always, illusions are fragile. They will not survive combat and will dissolve if the bone leaves your person.

| date = 10/15/2026
}}

'''Taxidermy Kit Updates/Unlocks'''
: '''New Design:''' Feather Boa or Fur Stole
* '''NOTE:''' These are using an old script for feather boas that have gotten an update to allow them to also be altered into fur stoles! These boas/stoles are created locked, but they have a couple verbs even when locked and can be unlocked, I believe, through the Premium unlocker and most any merchant.

:'''New Design:''' Huggable Stuffed Toys
* '''NOTE:''' These are the super old script with the single "HUG" verb so you give them a warm hug. Toys come out with the noun toy and show up as a/an <adjective> stuffed <noun> toy.

:'''New Design:''' Drinking Vessels.
*'''NOTE:''' These are the bog standard drinking vessels. You can switch between "wineskin" or "bota" nouns.

'''Scrimshaw Knives'''
:'''New Item:''' Design Templates (AKA Parchment Designs)
* '''NOTE:''' This is a blank book/tome that you can add pages of new designs to! You unlock the new designs on these parchments, as well as the custom slots for each of the new designs. Then you can TOUCH a Scrimshaw Knife to the designs and it will absorb the currently selected designs and all customs. You must get the parchment designs altered for these designs, /not/ the knife.

:'''New Design (for the Parchment Designs):''' Smokeable Pipes
* '''NOTE:''' These are the pipes you can wear by clenching in your teeth! The associated customs for these are full custom design templates (like the hairsticks on the original knife).

:'''New Design (for the Parchment Designs):''' Cutlery
* '''NOTE:''' You can choose fork, spoon, or chopsticks. Chopsticks are scripted! They will all work with food. These customs will be the full custom design template (like the hairsticks), though the design /must/ make sense for a spoon, a fork, /and/ chopsticks. So think patterns or handles and the like.

'''New Design (for Parchment Designs):''' Rollable Dice
* '''NOTE:''' These are the simple set of 2 6-sided dice that you can ROLL! Customs for these expect an adjective (IE some <adjective> <material> dice".

{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=Shadowplay
|desc=Gleaming dark silk woven with climbing roses is draped over the ashen stone walls of the cool, tapered chamber. The cobblestone flooring widens into a half-moon toward the back, highlighting an austere pale monir ambry lit by gently curled ironworked sconces filled with ivory candles. Nestled into a removed corner, a carved heart of ebony cabinet sits on a lush burgundy carpet with satin tassels. The delicate scents of petrichor and incense smoke elusively linger in the air.

Coarse hemp nooses dangle in slack loops from exposed overhead rafters, swaying faintly in drafts from ill-fitting wall seams. Mounds of damp dirt and iron-bladed spades lean against stacked wooden shipping crates scattered haphazardly across the grit-covered floorboards. Deep in the dim recesses, an austre wooden counter stands ready for morbid commerce.

A pristine yellowed bone skull is a spooky skull that responds to the following verbs:

STARE, EAT, KISS, LICK, RUB: subjects you to a gruesome vision that leaves you stunned (while held)
POKE, PUNCH, KICK: bites you, causing a minor injury and a brief stun (while held)
TICKLE: bites your fingers, causing a minor injury and a brief stun
ATTACK: bursts into flames and knocks you flat
HUG: shrieks and knocks you onto your rear end
FLIP, SPIN, WAVE: assorted biting, screaming, and chattering (while held)
DRAG, DRINK, PULL, PUSH, SMELL, TAP, TOUCH, TURN: assorted spooky reactions

If dropped on the ground, it will find its way back to whoever dropped it, and no one else can pick it up.

{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=The Roof Over
|desc=Slanting at an absurd angle, the roof of the shop is attached on the eastern edge to a wall that is two fomorians high, while barely tall enough for a coblynau to the west. Diagrams and building plans decorate the walls, each with a corresponding note or label stating "Dream Home" or "Wishes" in a bright green calligraphy. Access to windows is blocked by the various towering bookcases that line the walls, though the floor is largely free of debris. You also see an oak-outlined specimen board and a narrow whitewashed door.

This doorbell contract is used to place doorbell in a private property that you own.

This contract will allow a private property owner to affix a doorbell to their property. Visitors may ring it to let any occupants know that someone is outside.
It could also be placed internally in the property, such as a dinner bell, to echo throughout the rest of the property.

Once placed, the appearance of the doorbell cannot be changed, so be sure it is what you want before you RAISE your contract, and that you RAISE it where you want it!

Customization Options:
- TURN the contract to toggle through available messaging types.
- You may submit this contract to Sadie, who can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room.
- Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell.
- Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.
- The appearance of the doorbell may be altered by giving this contract to any willing merchant.
- Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.
The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc.

Base description: a brass bell
Long description: None.
Show description: None.
Visitors announced as: You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.

If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE contract AT {DOOR}.
You should RAISE your contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell.

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Teaser 14 - the Old Ossuary */

Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

==== Live Services Open Tomorrow ====

'''Live Services Open Tomorrow!'''

Grab your Service Pass and get ready for an action-packed four days as merchants descend upon Evermore Hollow from Friday, October 16th at noon through Tuesday, October 20th at midnight.

Each Service Pass grants up to 10 live services from working merchants. Pay close attention to each merchant’s Jack-o'-Lantern, which displays crucial details about how that artisan operates.

'''New This Year'''

:'''Guide Book Direct Transport:''' If you own a Guide Book to the Unliving, check the working merchants section. This year, you can use it to transport directly to their workrooms. Best of all, this feature is no longer locked behind a Service Pass, and it works for everyone in your group. (Note: Only group members holding a Service Pass will see merchant-specific messaging).
:'''Saga Integration:''' Download the latest version of Saga to access the new Ebon Gate window, built specifically to display merchant rules. No more scrolling through game text; the rules pop up the moment you step through a merchant’s door.
:'''Expanded Raffle Verb:''' Use RAFFLE LIST to check all active raffles, plus new integration that allows you to view Treasure Trove details directly from the command.

'''Important Reminders'''
: '''Treasure Trove''': Remember to PULL your Service Pass to participate in the Treasure Trove. The preview for the first five items kicks off tonight!
: '''Alter Books:''' Once the final merchant packs up on October 21st, remember to TEAR your Service Pass to receive an Alter Book. Alter Books start at a base of 5 charges and scale upward if you missed any live services:
* 10 services claimed: 5 charges
* 9 services claimed: 6 charges
* 8 services claimed: 7 charges
* Unclaimed services continue to convert into bonus book charges using this same formula.

'''''We are hydrated, energized, and ready for an incredible run. See you at the Evermore Hollow!'''''

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.

====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

}}

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

<pre {{log2}}>
>attend mirror
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and make minor adjustments to your short, razor-cut moonlit silver hair and the lay of your clothing.
>attend mirror at body
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and turn sideways to examine your physique.
>attend mirror at lips
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and test out your brightest smile.>wear my balm
You gently uncap the wand of your scarlet-sheened balm, then carefully begin to apply your makeup, filling in your lips with a steady hand. Perfection.
>attend mirror at lips
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and check that the gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened color on your lips hasn't faded.
>kiss mirror
You press your lips to the surface of the cheval mirror, leaving a gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened imprint.
>look mirror
A single gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened lip print mars the mirrored surface.
</pre>

* ATTEND should pick up most spa day products -- dabber hair and beard pomade, nail polish, makeup, shaving kit, henna, face paint, the three types of makeup...redacted

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?
* No, with stay-put, you can only NUDGE onto items that are permanently imbedded in the room description.
But you could still PUT the mirror on top and use it.

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

On the knotty pine shelves you see a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap, a two-tone leather book bag, a leaf-embossed sage green suede book bag, a buttery soft blue suede book bag, a pristine white suede book bag, a scarred worn leather book case, a narrow brown leather book case, a many-strapped cordovan book case, a brass-buckled black suede book case and a rectangular leather book case.
<pre{{log2}}>
You take a closer look at a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap.
You analyze the leather book bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The Book-inator
This device is designed to store non-library books. Due to the nature of this device and its storage capacity, it can't hold ALL non-library books, as the data stored in/on some of them can sometimes be too large.
Use
PUT - Allows you to place a book inside.
LOOK - Displays a list of stored books.

<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.
</pre>
Or perhaps you prefer a little troll in your life? First, let's return to normal with WAVE:
<pre{{log2}}>
>wave my tube
Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.
</pre>
Let's begin again, with our war troll:
<pre{{log2}}>
>approve my tube
Taking a deep breath and holding it, you keep your gaze fixed through a pyrographed pale wood tube. Colors swirl upon the lens within the tube as you watch. After a moment, you lower the tube and feel slightly different.

>gaze mirror
You look at yourself carefully in the mirror...

You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.
</pre>
One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

Illusion Pets: Petrified Bones and Updates

A new flavor of illusion bone has arrived, and the whole wishbone family has had some polish.

'''Petrified Bones'''
:Standard wishbones replace your profession pet's look entirely. Petrified bones are different: your pet keeps its own look and gains an adornment on top of it, so your "woodland wolfhound" stays a woodland wolfhound, just now "with
* a pastel ribbon-wrapped unicorn horn" (as an example). There is one petrified bone for each pet type:
* a petrified wizard bone (Wizard familiars)
* a petrified spirit bone (Spirit servants)
* a petrified demon bone (Minor Summoning demons)
* a petrified animate bone (Animated creatures)
* a petrified companion bone (Ranger companions)
* a petrified bardic bone (Singing swords)

Petrified bones work on any pet of their type, and their adornment is '''alterable'''. Any willing merchant may change the adornment phrase on a petrified bone, following the usual alteration rules. Standard bone illusions remain fixed.

'''Fixes and improvements for all illusion bones'''
* Animated creatures of every type can now take a 'petrified' illusion, including animates that previously reported "not an acceptable profession pet."
* Looking at a pet wearing a petrified illusion now shows the adorned look.
* When an illusion ends, your pet returns to exactly how it looked before, description included.
* Waving a bone that is already sustaining an illusion on another of your pets now tells you to CLEAN it first instead of silently tangling the two.
* Offering a bone to someone who declines it no longer dissolves your pet's illusion. Handing it over still does.
* Waving at a pet that already has an illusion now says so, rather than calling it a customized pet.
* Illusion bones cannot be used in areas where magic does not function.
* ANALYZE on a bone now tells you its mode and exactly which pets it works on.
* Customized pets are still ineligible.

As always, illusions are fragile. They will not survive combat and will dissolve if the bone leaves your person.

}}

'''Taxidermy Kit Updates/Unlocks'''
: '''New Design:''' Feather Boa or Fur Stole
* '''NOTE:''' These are using an old script for feather boas that have gotten an update to allow them to also be altered into fur stoles! These boas/stoles are created locked, but they have a couple verbs even when locked and can be unlocked, I believe, through the Premium unlocker and most any merchant.

:'''New Design:''' Huggable Stuffed Toys
* '''NOTE:''' These are the super old script with the single "HUG" verb so you give them a warm hug. Toys come out with the noun toy and show up as a/an <adjective> stuffed <noun> toy.

:'''New Design:''' Drinking Vessels.
*'''NOTE:''' These are the bog standard drinking vessels. You can switch between "wineskin" or "bota" nouns.

'''Scrimshaw Knives'''
:'''New Item:''' Design Templates (AKA Parchment Designs)
* '''NOTE:''' This is a blank book/tome that you can add pages of new designs to! You unlock the new designs on these parchments, as well as the custom slots for each of the new designs. Then you can TOUCH a Scrimshaw Knife to the designs and it will absorb the currently selected designs and all customs. You must get the parchment designs altered for these designs, /not/ the knife.

:'''New Design (for the Parchment Designs):''' Smokeable Pipes
* '''NOTE:''' These are the pipes you can wear by clenching in your teeth! The associated customs for these are full custom design templates (like the hairsticks on the original knife).

:'''New Design (for the Parchment Designs):''' Cutlery
* '''NOTE:''' You can choose fork, spoon, or chopsticks. Chopsticks are scripted! They will all work with food. These customs will be the full custom design template (like the hairsticks), though the design /must/ make sense for a spoon, a fork, /and/ chopsticks. So think patterns or handles and the like.

'''New Design (for Parchment Designs):''' Rollable Dice
* '''NOTE:''' These are the simple set of 2 6-sided dice that you can ROLL! Customs for these expect an adjective (IE some <adjective> <material> dice".

{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=The Other Daughter, Ingress
|desc=Candles lit with flickering light overwhelm the majority of the floor space and sit in sconces and niches set along the wall, often with nary a scrap of space between each taper. The flames regularly splutter out, victims of an ever-present chilly draft, but quickly spring back to life, as if the mausoleum's four stately coffins are unable to bear lingering for too long in darkness. Barely visible in the warm illumination, hints of a violet glow suffuse thin fissures along the walls. You also see an unlit corner-inset stairway.

===The Other Daughter, Entry Vault===
{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=The Other Daughter, Entry Vault
|desc=Dark stone walls are infested along multitudinous cracks with a bright violet luminescence, its glow so vibrant as to faintly illuminate the majority of the dank, damp space. Dripping down from the decrepit ceiling and oozing across the floor, viscous fluids and goo intermingle with scattered, nondescript bones, broken glass, and, in one corner, a collection of oversized rat's nests. In the midst of it all, four candle-topped coffins offer a neatly laid out selection of curious oddities. You also see a corner-inset stairway.

===The Other Daughter, East Crypt===
{{RoomDescription|

|desc=The air is moist, its scent so strongly laden with loam and decay that it practically tastes of it. Formed from the halves of two broken altars, four stone benches are angled in toward each other to face a rocking chair that sits at the dead center of the octagonal chamber. Beneath it, the makings of a ritual circle and its associated runes sprawl outward in imperfect symmetry before abruptly terminating just shy of the violet phosphorescence-riddled walls, each of which houses a tomb in its earthen embrace.

|desc=Cracked pale cobbled slabs of stone and packed dirt stretch up and curve at their peak to create a domed ceiling. Dried vines creep across the walls, weaving in and out from openings that are either man-made or timeworn, invading the spaces. Sickly green orbs of light cast shades of color between black and vivid absinthe green across the area. Shadows form stick-like fingers that grasp at the engraved sarcophagus dominating this cave. You also see a petrified bone tree.

'''Live Services Open Tomorrow!'''

Grab your Service Pass and get ready for an action-packed four days as merchants descend upon Evermore Hollow from Friday, October 16th at noon through Tuesday, October 20th at midnight.

Each Service Pass grants up to 10 live services from working merchants. Pay close attention to each merchant’s Jack-o'-Lantern, which displays crucial details about how that artisan operates.

'''New This Year'''

:'''Guide Book Direct Transport:''' If you own a Guide Book to the Unliving, check the working merchants section. This year, you can use it to transport directly to their workrooms. Best of all, this feature is no longer locked behind a Service Pass, and it works for everyone in your group. (Note: Only group members holding a Service Pass will see merchant-specific messaging).
:'''Saga Integration:''' Download the latest version of Saga to access the new Ebon Gate window, built specifically to display merchant rules. No more scrolling through game text; the rules pop up the moment you step through a merchant’s door.
:'''Expanded Raffle Verb:''' Use RAFFLE LIST to check all active raffles, plus new integration that allows you to view Treasure Trove details directly from the command.

'''Important Reminders'''
: '''Treasure Trove''': Remember to PULL your Service Pass to participate in the Treasure Trove. The preview for the first five items kicks off tonight!
: '''Alter Books:''' Once the final merchant packs up on October 21st, remember to TEAR your Service Pass to receive an Alter Book. Alter Books start at a base of 5 charges and scale upward if you missed any live services:
* 10 services claimed: 5 charges
* 9 services claimed: 6 charges
* 8 services claimed: 7 charges
* Unclaimed services continue to convert into bonus book charges using this same formula.

'''''We are hydrated, energized, and ready for an incredible run. See you at the Evermore Hollow!'''''

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.

====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

On the knotty pine shelves you see a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap, a two-tone leather book bag, a leaf-embossed sage green suede book bag, a buttery soft blue suede book bag, a pristine white suede book bag, a scarred worn leather book case, a narrow brown leather book case, a many-strapped cordovan book case, a brass-buckled black suede book case and a rectangular leather book case.
<pre{{log2}}>
You take a closer look at a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap.
You analyze the leather book bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.

Let's begin again, with our war troll:

You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''
* Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
* Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
* You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

But that's not all! These can products can be used on yourself to provide a scent and temporary adjustment to your features.

>rub jar

* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned

But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

On the knotty pine shelves you see a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap, a two-tone leather book bag, a leaf-embossed sage green suede book bag, a buttery soft blue suede book bag, a pristine white suede book bag, a scarred worn leather book case, a narrow brown leather book case, a many-strapped cordovan book case, a brass-buckled black suede book case and a rectangular leather book case.

You take a closer look at a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap.
You analyze the leather book bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The Book-inator
This device is designed to store non-library books. Due to the nature of this device and its storage capacity, it can't hold ALL non-library books, as the data stored in/on some of them can sometimes be too large.

What might we be able to see if we know where and how to look?
>tap my tube
You tap a pyrographed pale wood tube, which is in your right hand.
<pre{{log2}}>
>look at my tube
Built from a pale wood pyrographed with geometric shapes, the tube is long, slender, and fitted with twin lenses on either end. A series of knobs dot the tube's exterior.

What might we become with just a little help and the right tools?
A war troll shifts around, looking indecisive.

A war troll looks a little dubious about its situation.

Turning a small knob at the lens side of a pyrographed pale wood tube, you hear a small click from within the tube. Looking down at the fatter lens on one end, you now see the unmistakable silhouette of a polar bear upon it.

Obscure Visions is a new shop opening this run in Naidem. Within, the proprietors invite you to begin your journey with their remarkable creation: the Lens of Obfuscation.
</pre>
Using this tool, tested adventurers can temporarily take on the characteristics of the monsters they have defeated. Behold the majestic and mighty wyrm:
<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.
</pre>
Or perhaps you prefer a little troll in your life? First, let's return to normal with WAVE:
<pre{{log2}}>
>wave my tube
Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.
</pre>
Let's begin again, with our war troll:
<pre{{log2}}>
>approve my tube
Taking a deep breath and holding it, you keep your gaze fixed through a pyrographed pale wood tube. Colors swirl upon the lens within the tube as you watch. After a moment, you lower the tube and feel slightly different.

>gaze mirror
You look at yourself carefully in the mirror...

You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

'''Envelope Unlock'''

* EXTINGUISH will remove a stacked envelope again.

'''PERM-ified paper Unlock'''
* Paper and envelopes PUSHed in can be duplicated via the PLUCK verb (for paper) or EXTRACT verb (for envelopes).
* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''
* Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
* Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
* You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.
* When placed, you can PROD the desk to toggle it between anyone being able to access its contents vs only you.

These unlocks, a box, and some stationery envelopes will be available in the Naidem shop A Vague Inkling.

===Preserving Breads, Storage===
{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=Preserving Breads, Storage
|desc=Cooler air settles within the windowless storage room, rich with the dry scents of burlap, flour dust, and seasoned pine. Stout cobblestone walls create three sturdy walls, each holding deep cedar bins piled with winter root vegetables and heavy stoneware crocks sealed in wax. Rough-hewn timber racks line the far corners, bowed beneath crates of dried herbs and jars of preserved fruits. Near a dark-stained oak and pine hutch, braided bundles of wild onions, garlic, and dried sweetgrass hang from iron ceiling hooks.

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Teaser 13 - Drowned Dreams Curiosities - Leveled Up! */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Premium - 10 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Platinum - 11 pm - October 7
The cost to enter the raffle is 250,000 silvers.

====Merchant Week====
Merchant week will from from Friday, October 16th at Noon to Tuesday, October 20th at Midnight. Here are the changes for the services pass this year:

'''Service Pass (Flyer): 3,000 SimuCoins'''

:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554605860909748254 Merchant Week Discussion on Discord]

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

}}

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

>attend mirror
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and make minor adjustments to your short, razor-cut moonlit silver hair and the lay of your clothing.

>attend mirror at lips
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and test out your brightest smile.>wear my balm

>look mirror
A single gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened lip print mars the mirrored surface.
</pre>

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

Built from a pale wood pyrographed with geometric shapes, the tube is long, slender, and fitted with twin lenses on either end. A series of knobs dot the tube's exterior.

<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.

Or perhaps you prefer a little troll in your life? First, let's return to normal with WAVE:

Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.

Let's begin again, with our war troll:

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''
* Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
* Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
* You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.
* When placed, you can PROD the desk to toggle it between anyone being able to access its contents vs only you.

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Teaser 13 - Drowned Dreams Curiosities - Leveled Up! */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===
Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

=== Announcement 2 - Feeder Fun ===

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

=== Announcement - Treasure Trove Explained ===
'''What is the Treasure Trove at Ebon Gate?'''
: The treasure trove, located in the Parlor of Gavelsdown Hall in Evermore Hollow is a prize distribution system. 10 prizes are loaded into each cabinet at the beginning of the distribution cycle. There are 5 cabinets.
: At the start of the distribution cycle, a realm-wide announcement goes out to all present letting you know that something new is up for raffle.
'''Preview Windows'''
: October 15, 2026 – approximately 9pm
: Five items are displayed on the shelf as a preview, this number decreases as we get to al the items.
'''Current Offering and What to do'''
: The item on the TRAY is what is being offered for the current distribution cycle.
: If you wish to enter, use one of your TROVE TOKENS. You may only enter one trove token per distribution cycle.
: Distribution happens once every 24 hours at approximately 9pm EDT.
'''How do I get a token?'''
: Trove tokens are part of the Merchant Pass this year. Every pass comes with ten account-attuned tokens.
'''''What does that mean?'''''
:That means, when you redeem a merchant pass, you can get 10 tokens to use with ANYONE on your account.
'''Are there attuned items?'''
: Yes, some items – like profession customizations – are attuned and can only be entered by that profession. This is why the tokens are only account-attuned.
'''What to do if you win'''
: The great thing about the Treasure Trove is that it will MAIL you the winnings. All you have to do is go to your local post office and look for a package from Zenuoie. There is no need to be tracked down by a GameMaster, sit around at the Trove waiting for the item, or worry that you miss a pick-up window.
'''Wait! Do I need to have a pass redeemed on the character on my account that I want to enter the trove with?'''
: No. You only need to redeem the pass on the character that you want to get the Live Services, or that you want to attend the Live Games, Raffles, and Auctions with.
: Your token is account-attuned; that means ANY of your characters on THAT account can enter with the attuned token.

You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

Lady Airisu returns to merchant week in Naidem. And she's bringing new things with her!

===='''TEASER - PART ONE'''====

New in-ators for cobbling will be available for purchase at [[EHShop:Tippy Toes|Tippy Toes]]!

:The Cobbling Caddy - holds 30 kinds of cobbling hardware: snap-on heels, snap-on soles, and plate ingots

:The Cobbler's Press- holds 30 kinds of cobbling leather, both uppers and soles

Thanks to GM @Thandiwe 🌙 , cobblers can now organize their hoarded needed supplies! And free up those precious spaces.

===='''TEASER - PART TWO'''====

Ever wanted to do more with the soles of your cobbled creations? Wish no more. [[Snap-on Soles]] are now available. Peruse a carefully curated rack of options for sale in Tippy Toes OR....

Thanks to GM @Vanah, purchase an unlock certificate for your [[Leatherworking Tool]] and make them yourself!

===='''TEASER - PART THREE'''====

Speaking of the magic that GM @Vanah makes, Tippy Toes will also be offering a PATTERN UNLOCK available to use on your Leatherworking Tool, Silk Screen Press, or Cobbling Plate Maker Box that will provide additional pattern options.

And in case that wasn't enough to get you to buy a merchant pass, the dyes have been refreshed, all of the punches are in stock, AND there's a new selection of snap-on heels for purchase.

==== The Cobbling Maker ====
The Cobbling Maker boxes have received a few upgrades, some innate and some available via unlock.

The cobbling [[Silk Screen Press]], leatherworking tool, [[Cobbling Settings Maker Box]], [[Cobbling Plates Maker Box]], and [[Cobbling Upper Maker Box]] have had the following updates:
* Added GAZE to show all available options;
* TURN will work with a given number (listed in GAZE);
* PUSH confirmation will now preview the finished settings and will be specific to the design, so if you change anything and push again you will receive a fresh confirmation.
* Can be analyzed anywhere, to hopefully make juggling custom boxes easier
* Can have charges made unlimited at the [[PERM-ifier]]

The cobbling silk screen press, leatherworking tool, cobbling settings maker, cobbling plates boxes will have a certificate to unlock [[Designs|patterns]], which adds ATTEND, PONDER, and WHISPER. Ponder cycles through the categories and lists the options in each; whisper allows you to select an option; attend changes the way it looks (-motif, -patterned, etc). The screen print and leatherworking tool are limited to 15 characters total so no options longer than 9 characters display.

;'''[[Cobbling adornment|Cobbling Settings]]'''
May now have a FLIP option shown in the analyze to adjust how much of the gem shows in the cobbled shoe.

;'''Cobbling Settings Maker Boxes'''
* Reduced number for needed gems from 4 to 1;
* FLIP will give you control of whether your PRE-STYLES and POST-STYLES show;
* STARE will show you all options available for a given gem;
* Updated pluralization to no longer require pluralization only with an (s) and no longer restricted to one word;
* Pattern unlock will remove one custom POST shape setting
* Will produce settings that have FLIP options

* Added Snap-On Heels unlock;

}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Teaser 13 - Drowned Dreams Curiosities - Leveled Up! */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===
Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

=== Announcement 2 - Feeder Fun ===

{{saved-discord-post

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Premium - 10 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Platinum - 11 pm - October 7
The cost to enter the raffle is 250,000 silvers.

====Merchant Week====
Merchant week will from from Friday, October 16th at Noon to Tuesday, October 20th at Midnight. Here are the changes for the services pass this year:

'''Service Pass (Flyer): 3,000 SimuCoins'''

* No F2P
* 10 service will be the cap
* Account-based
* Access to Live Games
* Access to Raffles
* Access to Trove
* 10 Trove tokens on TEAR (Account attuned)
* Alter book

:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554605860909748254 Merchant Week Discussion on Discord]

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - 5 - Shop List ===

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

}}

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

<pre {{log2}}>
>attend mirror
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and make minor adjustments to your short, razor-cut moonlit silver hair and the lay of your clothing.
>attend mirror at body
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and turn sideways to examine your physique.
>attend mirror at lips
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and test out your brightest smile.>wear my balm
You gently uncap the wand of your scarlet-sheened balm, then carefully begin to apply your makeup, filling in your lips with a steady hand. Perfection.
>attend mirror at lips
You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and check that the gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened color on your lips hasn't faded.
>kiss mirror
You press your lips to the surface of the cheval mirror, leaving a gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened imprint.
>look mirror
A single gold-flecked deep dark scarlet-sheened lip print mars the mirrored surface.
</pre>

* ATTEND should pick up most spa day products -- dabber hair and beard pomade, nail polish, makeup, shaving kit, henna, face paint, the three types of makeup...redacted

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

You put a cheval mirror on a supply shelf.

>tilt mirr
You loosen the thumb-screws on the cheval mirror and tilt the reflective glass toward you.

}}

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.

You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...

>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.

Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from.

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''
* Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
* Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
* You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.
* When placed, you can PROD the desk to toggle it between anyone being able to access its contents vs only you.

Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight

====Trove====

====Live Games====

* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.

====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

: Follow the [[:Category:Of_Masks_and_Marionettes|Wiki Page]] for more updates or add your own findings!
: The Dark Carnival is associated with [[Of_Masks_and_Marionettes|Of Masks and Marionettes]] fairy tale.

=== Announcement - Treasure Trove Explained ===
'''What is the Treasure Trove at Ebon Gate?'''
: The treasure trove, located in the Parlor of Gavelsdown Hall in Evermore Hollow is a prize distribution system. 10 prizes are loaded into each cabinet at the beginning of the distribution cycle. There are 5 cabinets.
: At the start of the distribution cycle, a realm-wide announcement goes out to all present letting you know that something new is up for raffle.
'''Preview Windows'''
: October 15, 2026 – approximately 9pm
: Five items are displayed on the shelf as a preview, this number decreases as we get to al the items.
'''Current Offering and What to do'''
: The item on the TRAY is what is being offered for the current distribution cycle.
: If you wish to enter, use one of your TROVE TOKENS. You may only enter one trove token per distribution cycle.
: Distribution happens once every 24 hours at approximately 9pm EDT.
'''How do I get a token?'''
: Trove tokens are part of the Merchant Pass this year. Every pass comes with ten account-attuned tokens.
'''''What does that mean?'''''
:That means, when you redeem a merchant pass, you can get 10 tokens to use with ANYONE on your account.
'''Are there attuned items?'''
: Yes, some items – like profession customizations – are attuned and can only be entered by that profession. This is why the tokens are only account-attuned.
'''What to do if you win'''
: The great thing about the Treasure Trove is that it will MAIL you the winnings. All you have to do is go to your local post office and look for a package from Zenuoie. There is no need to be tracked down by a GameMaster, sit around at the Trove waiting for the item, or worry that you miss a pick-up window.
'''Wait! Do I need to have a pass redeemed on the character on my account that I want to enter the trove with?'''
: No. You only need to redeem the pass on the character that you want to get the Live Services, or that you want to attend the Live Games, Raffles, and Auctions with.
: Your token is account-attuned; that means ANY of your characters on THAT account can enter with the attuned token.

}}

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

<pre {{log2}}>

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

You take a closer look at a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap.
You analyze the leather book bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.
</pre>
Let's begin again, with our war troll:
<pre{{log2}}>
>approve my tube
Taking a deep breath and holding it, you keep your gaze fixed through a pyrographed pale wood tube. Colors swirl upon the lens within the tube as you watch. After a moment, you lower the tube and feel slightly different.

>gaze mirror
You look at yourself carefully in the mirror...

You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.
</pre>
One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

Lady Airisu returns to merchant week in Naidem. And she's bringing new things with her!

===='''TEASER - PART ONE'''====

New in-ators for cobbling will be available for purchase at [[EHShop:Tippy Toes|Tippy Toes]]!

:The Cobbling Caddy - holds 30 kinds of cobbling hardware: snap-on heels, snap-on soles, and plate ingots

===='''TEASER - PART TWO'''====

Ever wanted to do more with the soles of your cobbled creations? Wish no more. [[Snap-on Soles]] are now available. Peruse a carefully curated rack of options for sale in Tippy Toes OR....

Thanks to GM @Vanah, purchase an unlock certificate for your [[Leatherworking Tool]] and make them yourself!

===='''TEASER - PART THREE'''====

Speaking of the magic that GM @Vanah makes, Tippy Toes will also be offering a PATTERN UNLOCK available to use on your Leatherworking Tool, Silk Screen Press, or Cobbling Plate Maker Box that will provide additional pattern options.

And in case that wasn't enough to get you to buy a merchant pass, the dyes have been refreshed, all of the punches are in stock, AND there's a new selection of snap-on heels for purchase.

==== The Cobbling Maker ====
The Cobbling Maker boxes have received a few upgrades, some innate and some available via unlock.

The cobbling [[Silk Screen Press]], leatherworking tool, [[Cobbling Settings Maker Box]], [[Cobbling Plates Maker Box]], and [[Cobbling Upper Maker Box]] have had the following updates:
* Added GAZE to show all available options;
* TURN will work with a given number (listed in GAZE);
* PUSH confirmation will now preview the finished settings and will be specific to the design, so if you change anything and push again you will receive a fresh confirmation.
* Can be analyzed anywhere, to hopefully make juggling custom boxes easier
* Can have charges made unlimited at the [[PERM-ifier]]

The cobbling silk screen press, leatherworking tool, cobbling settings maker, cobbling plates boxes will have a certificate to unlock [[Designs|patterns]], which adds ATTEND, PONDER, and WHISPER. Ponder cycles through the categories and lists the options in each; whisper allows you to select an option; attend changes the way it looks (-motif, -patterned, etc). The screen print and leatherworking tool are limited to 15 characters total so no options longer than 9 characters display.

;'''[[Cobbling adornment|Cobbling Settings]]'''

;'''Cobbling Settings Maker Boxes'''

* STARE will show you all options available for a given gem;

}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7

====Merchant Week====

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.

====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

}}

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared.

You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.

* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

}}

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

On the knotty pine shelves you see a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap, a two-tone leather book bag, a leaf-embossed sage green suede book bag, a buttery soft blue suede book bag, a pristine white suede book bag, a scarred worn leather book case, a narrow brown leather book case, a many-strapped cordovan book case, a brass-buckled black suede book case and a rectangular leather book case.

You take a closer look at a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap.
You analyze the leather book bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

What might we be able to see if we know where and how to look?
>tap my tube
You tap a pyrographed pale wood tube, which is in your right hand.
<pre{{log2}}>
>look at my tube
Built from a pale wood pyrographed with geometric shapes, the tube is long, slender, and fitted with twin lenses on either end. A series of knobs dot the tube's exterior.

What might we become with just a little help and the right tools?

Obscure Visions is a new shop opening this run in Naidem. Within, the proprietors invite you to begin your journey with their remarkable creation: the Lens of Obfuscation.

Using this tool, tested adventurers can temporarily take on the characteristics of the monsters they have defeated. Behold the majestic and mighty wyrm:
<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.
</pre>
Or perhaps you prefer a little troll in your life? First, let's return to normal with WAVE:
<pre{{log2}}>
>wave my tube
Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.
</pre>
Let's begin again, with our war troll:

>approve my tube
Taking a deep breath and holding it, you keep your gaze fixed through a pyrographed pale wood tube. Colors swirl upon the lens within the tube as you watch. After a moment, you lower the tube and feel slightly different.

>gaze mirror

You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

Ebon Gate Festival/saved posts 2026

2026-10-15T00:50:15Z

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Teaser 12 - Stationery Box */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===
Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

=== Announcement 2 - Feeder Fun ===

{{saved-discord-post

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

: At the start of the distribution cycle, a realm-wide announcement goes out to all present letting you know that something new is up for raffle.
'''Preview Windows'''
: October 15, 2026 – approximately 9pm
: Five items are displayed on the shelf as a preview, this number decreases as we get to al the items.
'''Current Offering and What to do'''

: Distribution happens once every 24 hours at approximately 9pm EDT.
'''How do I get a token?'''
: Trove tokens are part of the Merchant Pass this year. Every pass comes with ten account-attuned tokens.
'''''What does that mean?'''''
:That means, when you redeem a merchant pass, you can get 10 tokens to use with ANYONE on your account.
'''Are there attuned items?'''
: Yes, some items – like profession customizations – are attuned and can only be entered by that profession. This is why the tokens are only account-attuned.

'''Wait! Do I need to have a pass redeemed on the character on my account that I want to enter the trove with?'''
: No. You only need to redeem the pass on the character that you want to get the Live Services, or that you want to attend the Live Games, Raffles, and Auctions with.

You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

New in-ators for cobbling will be available for purchase at [[EHShop:Tippy Toes|Tippy Toes]]!

:The Cobbling Caddy - holds 30 kinds of cobbling hardware: snap-on heels, snap-on soles, and plate ingots

===='''TEASER - PART TWO'''====

Ever wanted to do more with the soles of your cobbled creations? Wish no more. [[Snap-on Soles]] are now available. Peruse a carefully curated rack of options for sale in Tippy Toes OR....

Thanks to GM @Vanah, purchase an unlock certificate for your [[Leatherworking Tool]] and make them yourself!

===='''TEASER - PART THREE'''====

Speaking of the magic that GM @Vanah makes, Tippy Toes will also be offering a PATTERN UNLOCK available to use on your Leatherworking Tool, Silk Screen Press, or Cobbling Plate Maker Box that will provide additional pattern options.

And in case that wasn't enough to get you to buy a merchant pass, the dyes have been refreshed, all of the punches are in stock, AND there's a new selection of snap-on heels for purchase.

==== The Cobbling Maker ====
The Cobbling Maker boxes have received a few upgrades, some innate and some available via unlock.

The cobbling [[Silk Screen Press]], leatherworking tool, [[Cobbling Settings Maker Box]], [[Cobbling Plates Maker Box]], and [[Cobbling Upper Maker Box]] have had the following updates:
* Added GAZE to show all available options;
* TURN will work with a given number (listed in GAZE);
* PUSH confirmation will now preview the finished settings and will be specific to the design, so if you change anything and push again you will receive a fresh confirmation.
* Can be analyzed anywhere, to hopefully make juggling custom boxes easier
* Can have charges made unlimited at the [[PERM-ifier]]

The cobbling silk screen press, leatherworking tool, cobbling settings maker, cobbling plates boxes will have a certificate to unlock [[Designs|patterns]], which adds ATTEND, PONDER, and WHISPER. Ponder cycles through the categories and lists the options in each; whisper allows you to select an option; attend changes the way it looks (-motif, -patterned, etc). The screen print and leatherworking tool are limited to 15 characters total so no options longer than 9 characters display.

;'''[[Cobbling adornment|Cobbling Settings]]'''
May now have a FLIP option shown in the analyze to adjust how much of the gem shows in the cobbled shoe.

;'''Cobbling Settings Maker Boxes'''
* Reduced number for needed gems from 4 to 1;
* FLIP will give you control of whether your PRE-STYLES and POST-STYLES show;
* STARE will show you all options available for a given gem;
* Updated pluralization to no longer require pluralization only with an (s) and no longer restricted to one word;

* Will produce settings that have FLIP options

}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

|desc=Low ceilings and cramped aisle give the space a disorderly feeling, which is only enhanced by the improper lighting and the heavy scent of rot and mildew that lingers in the damp, musty air. Bookcases and cabinet stretch towards the ceiling, their tops brushing against the dark beams, and enclosing each aisle with the clutter of the bric-a-brac stored on their shelves. From somewhere at the back of the shop, the incessant sound of something dripping can be heard.

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Announcement - Treasure Trove Explained */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===
Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

=== Announcement 2 - Feeder Fun ===

{{saved-discord-post

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Premium - 10 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Platinum - 11 pm - October 7
The cost to enter the raffle is 250,000 silvers.

====Merchant Week====
Merchant week will from from Friday, October 16th at Noon to Tuesday, October 20th at Midnight. Here are the changes for the services pass this year:

'''Service Pass (Flyer): 3,000 SimuCoins'''

* No F2P
* 10 service will be the cap
* Account-based
* Access to Live Games
* Access to Raffles
* Access to Trove
* 10 Trove tokens on TEAR (Account attuned)
* Alter book
* No RPA anymore
=====Last Year's Passes=====
For those of you who found yourselves inundated with passes, fear not. You'll be able to destroy the pass for 20 barrel keys.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554605860909748254 Merchant Week Discussion on Discord]

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - 5 - Shop List ===

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

}}

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

You gaze at your reflection in the cheval mirror and make minor adjustments to your short, razor-cut moonlit silver hair and the lay of your clothing.

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

You tap a pyrographed pale wood tube, which is in your right hand.

>look at my tube
Built from a pale wood pyrographed with geometric shapes, the tube is long, slender, and fitted with twin lenses on either end. A series of knobs dot the tube's exterior.

<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.

Or perhaps you prefer a little troll in your life? First, let's return to normal with WAVE:

Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.

Let's begin again, with our war troll:

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

'''PERM-ified paper Unlock'''
* Paper and envelopes PUSHed in can be duplicated via the PLUCK verb (for paper) or EXTRACT verb (for envelopes).
* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''
* Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
* Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
* You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.
* When placed, you can PROD the desk to toggle it between anyone being able to access its contents vs only you.

These unlocks, a box, and some stationery envelopes will be available in the Naidem shop A Vague Inkling.

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Announcement - Treasure Trove Explained */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===
Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7

The cost to enter the raffle is 250,000 silvers.

====Merchant Week====

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

: [[Spidersilk Apothecary]]
Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

: The Dark Carnival is associated with [[Of_Masks_and_Marionettes|Of Masks and Marionettes]] fairy tale.

: At the start of the distribution cycle, a realm-wide announcement goes out to all present letting you know that something new is up for raffle.
'''Preview Windows'''
: October 15, 2026 – approximately 9pm
: Five items are displayed on the shelf as a preview, this number decreases as we get to al the items.

'''How do I get a token?'''
: Trove tokens are part of the Merchant Pass this year. Every pass comes with ten account-attuned tokens.
'''''What does that mean?'''''
:That means, when you redeem a merchant pass, you can get 10 tokens to use with ANYONE on your account.
'''Are there attuned items?'''
: Yes, some items – like profession customizations – are attuned and can only be entered by that profession. This is why the tokens are only account-attuned.

: No. You only need to redeem the pass on the character that you want to get the Live Services, or that you want to attend the Live Games, Raffles, and Auctions with.

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared. The mirror can hang on a wall, be placed on the floor as a freestanding mirror, or nudged onto a table like a vanity mirror.
You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

Thanks to GM @Vanah, purchase an unlock certificate for your [[Leatherworking Tool]] and make them yourself!

===='''TEASER - PART THREE'''====

Speaking of the magic that GM @Vanah makes, Tippy Toes will also be offering a PATTERN UNLOCK available to use on your Leatherworking Tool, Silk Screen Press, or Cobbling Plate Maker Box that will provide additional pattern options.

And in case that wasn't enough to get you to buy a merchant pass, the dyes have been refreshed, all of the punches are in stock, AND there's a new selection of snap-on heels for purchase.

==== The Cobbling Maker ====
The Cobbling Maker boxes have received a few upgrades, some innate and some available via unlock.

The cobbling [[Silk Screen Press]], leatherworking tool, [[Cobbling Settings Maker Box]], [[Cobbling Plates Maker Box]], and [[Cobbling Upper Maker Box]] have had the following updates:
* Added GAZE to show all available options;
* TURN will work with a given number (listed in GAZE);
* PUSH confirmation will now preview the finished settings and will be specific to the design, so if you change anything and push again you will receive a fresh confirmation.
* Can be analyzed anywhere, to hopefully make juggling custom boxes easier
* Can have charges made unlimited at the [[PERM-ifier]]

The cobbling silk screen press, leatherworking tool, cobbling settings maker, cobbling plates boxes will have a certificate to unlock [[Designs|patterns]], which adds ATTEND, PONDER, and WHISPER. Ponder cycles through the categories and lists the options in each; whisper allows you to select an option; attend changes the way it looks (-motif, -patterned, etc). The screen print and leatherworking tool are limited to 15 characters total so no options longer than 9 characters display.

}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

: Yes, some items – like profession customizations – are attuned and can only be entered by that profession. This is why the tokens are only account-attuned.
'''What to do if you win'''
: The great thing about the Treasure Trove is that it will MAIL you the winnings. All you have to do is go to your local post office and look for a package from Zenuoie. There is no need to be tracked down by a GameMaster, sit around at the Trove waiting for the item, or worry that you miss a pick-up window.
'''Wait! Do I need to have a pass redeemed on the character on my account that I want to enter the raffle with?'''
: No. You only need to redeem the pass on the character that you want to get the Live Services, or that you want to attend the Live Games, Raffles, and Auctions with.
: Your token is account-attuned; that means ANY of your characters on THAT account can enter with the attuned token.

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Premium - 10 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Platinum - 11 pm - October 7
The cost to enter the raffle is 250,000 silvers.

====Merchant Week====
Merchant week will from from Friday, October 16th at Noon to Tuesday, October 20th at Midnight. Here are the changes for the services pass this year:

'''Service Pass (Flyer): 3,000 SimuCoins'''

* Access to Trove
* 10 Trove tokens on TEAR (Account attuned)

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

: [[Spidersilk Apothecary]]
Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1557565225622966354 Scrip Updates]
| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

=== Announcement - 5 - Shop List ===

=== Announcement - Lore Release ===
Come in, dear child, come in to the Dark Carnival...it is time. We are here.

EG 2026's fairy tale is now available on the wiki!

:'''Lore Document:''' [[Of Masks and Marionettes]]
:'''Discord Discussion Link:''' ⁠Ebon Gate 2026 Lore Release: O…

:The storybook of this tale is available in [[:EHShop:Whispering Pages|Whispering Pages]].
:If you own [[Curios and Oddities of Evermore Hollow]], then the new material has already been added to it.

==== 2026 Storyline ====
The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

Debuting at Ebon Gate in 2026 is the [[Cheval Mirror]], a room decoration with Stay-Put qualities designed to be PLACEd out in a room for four hours, or in a stall, loft, or private property until its place is cleared.

* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.

}}

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

On the knotty pine shelves you see a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap, a two-tone leather book bag, a leaf-embossed sage green suede book bag, a buttery soft blue suede book bag, a pristine white suede book bag, a scarred worn leather book case, a narrow brown leather book case, a many-strapped cordovan book case, a brass-buckled black suede book case and a rectangular leather book case.

You take a closer look at a narrow and worn leather book bag with a long shoulder strap.
You analyze the leather book bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

You tap a pyrographed pale wood tube, which is in your right hand.
<pre{{log2}}>
>look at my tube
Built from a pale wood pyrographed with geometric shapes, the tube is long, slender, and fitted with twin lenses on either end. A series of knobs dot the tube's exterior.

What might we become with just a little help and the right tools?

Obscure Visions is a new shop opening this run in Naidem. Within, the proprietors invite you to begin your journey with their remarkable creation: the Lens of Obfuscation.

Using this tool, tested adventurers can temporarily take on the characteristics of the monsters they have defeated. Behold the majestic and mighty wyrm:
<pre{{log2}}>
You see GameMaster Kaonashi.
He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a small series of silver-scaled spines extending from his neck.
</pre>
Or perhaps you prefer a little troll in your life? First, let's return to normal with WAVE:
<pre{{log2}}>
>wave my tube
Keeping a pyrographed pale wood tube in front of your face, you continue to wave it slowly. As you do, you hear the faintest sound of a breath being drawn inward, although you cannot quite place where it's coming from. After a few moments, you lower the tube and feel both disoriented and slightly different.
</pre>
Let's begin again, with our war troll:

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

=== Teaser 11 - Doorbells===
{{saved-discord-post
| messagelink = [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1557119625475661964 Doorbells]
| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''
* Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
* Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
* You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.

Ebon Gate Festival/saved posts 2026

GS4-THANDIWE: /* Announcement - Lore Release */

==Announcements==

=== Announcement 1 - Dates ===
Ebon Gate Festival Runs from October 9th - November 3rd

=== Announcement 2 - Feeder Fun ===

{{saved-discord-post

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

=== Announcent 3 - News & Updates ===
We've been working hard; the day is nearly here, and we are as excited as you are to return to Naidem. With October 1st on the horizon, and the opening close on its heels, we’ve got a lot of updates and changes to share with you.
===='''Evermore Hollow Hotel'''====
We’ve heard your discussion and feel your concern; there were many pain points about the hotel stay that were confusing or upsetting to some players. As such, we are taking the following steps to ease confusion and merchant anxiety.

There is a new hotel verb that will present you with information on your stay. Primarily, it will tell you if you have a reservation or not. It can be used with HOTEL or HOTEL HELP. This verb will be live soon.

All hotel stay purchasers, regardless of whether it is a suite or a regular room, will be able to SPLIT their key upon receiving it and gift it to whomever they desire. Additionally, we’ve done away with waiting around for a merchant to get to your floor. Instead, we’ve increased the alteration book count to 10, and you will receive it immediately in your welcome package.

Conference goers will still receive a single ‘pass’ into the conference areas, which will be opened up once the conference is over.

====='''Distribution:'''=====
Batches of 6 Suites & 9 Room Hotel Stays
* Tuesday, October 6 - 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 9 pm, Midnight
Raffle for Hotel Room Stay:
* In Zul Logoth - 1 - Prime - 9 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Premium - 10 pm - October 7
* Mist Harbor - 2 - Platinum - 11 pm - October 7
The cost to enter the raffle is 250,000 silvers.

====Merchant Week====
Merchant week will from from Friday, October 16th at Noon to Tuesday, October 20th at Midnight. Here are the changes for the services pass this year:

'''Service Pass (Flyer): 3,000 SimuCoins'''

* No F2P

* Account-based
* Access to Live Games
* Access to Raffles
* Access to Trove
* 10 Trove tokens on TEAR (Account attuned)

:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554605860909748254 Merchant Week Discussion on Discord]

====Trove====
The trove will run from the 16th - the 26th. It will still draw nightly. The only way to get tokens is through the Service Pass.

====Live Games====
* Live Games will continue again this year. They will take place over the weekend of the 24th and 25th. There will be four games.
* Also, Seynne will be running her games outside of Merchant Week. You can look for her on the 21st and 22nd.
:[https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1554606383922544640 Live Games Discussion on Discord]
====Vault Update====
The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:
* The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
* The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
* The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7...
* Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.
: None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.
In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
* Chopsticks
* Utensils
* Cigars
* Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

'''Vault Cost: 6,500 SimuCoins'''
* Two 25-entry keys (SimuCoin Store Event Entries)
* a death certificate (Exp Modifier, +50% for 30 days - Character Attuned)
* a vial of iridescent oil (Locus Charge Item - Account Attuned)
* an octagonal witchwood apothecary (the Spidersilk Apothecary)
* Alteration Book (5 uses)
As always, everything in the vault is attuned.

: [[Spidersilk Apothecary]]
Speaking of fishing...
====Fishing Updates====
Fishing has been broken for a while, but we are moving it into the same odds as the Duskruin Boosts (1d250). Many of the prizes in fishing have been updated, but this will be the last year for fishing. Those prizes will be moved to a new event next year.
====Witch's Hut and Arena of the Abyss====
As mentioned last year, entry to these activities was updated to match the universal barrel key entry. The rewards have been updated to match the appropriateness of the entry (ie: soul shard return and incidentals).

Sonreeva will also be changed to a flat-cost entry. This new cost will cover the upgrade of the thumb-ring.

There will be more information on this during opening week.

====Guide Book to the Unliving====
The guidebook has had a couple of updates. Primarily, obtaining one has been updated to QUEST. Additionally, you will now be transported directly TO the merchant in the list, provided that you are IN Naidem.
====Last Year of the Mandrake====
This year will be the last time you can find the Mandrake in the Herb Hunt. Next year will see a new prize.

=== Announcement - Scrip Updates 4 ===

| author = GM Wyrom
| date = 10/7/2026
}}
'''Scrip Updates'''<br>
Starting with Ebon Gate, we are normalizing all scrip payouts for entries that cost 100 SimuCoins to participate. No matter if you win, lose, surrender, or disconnect, you will earn 300 scrip that the event rewards. With this, we are discontinuing any form of "cache" that results in more scrip than normal. Some activities already have things in place, but instead each activity will have some sort of randomized prize drop and incidentals. Only scrip rewards will be guaranteed, anything else may require you to survive, defeat creatures, or complete the activity.

'''Ebon Gate:'''<br>
:'''Trick-or-Treat:''' 2 Candies. Upon completion you'll get 25 instant exp and earn 72 exp at the end for each "trick" defeated (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all tricks). Your first KNOCK will be 300 soul shards.
:'''Herb Hunt''': Pet chance and SimuCoin Store items. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Arena of the Abyss:''' Green orb chance, Necro ring chance, Necro ring recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 100 exp per kill (which should work out to be 500 if you defeat all 5 rounds). Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.
:'''Witch Hunt''': Green orb chance, Ocarina chance, Ocarina recharging, and incidentals. Upon completion you'll earn 500 exp. Your 300 soul shards will be at the end.

'''Special Item Recharging:'''<br>
:'''Ocarina:''' You will earn 50 charges instead of 5.
:'''Necro Ring''': You will earn 10 charges per creature defeated instead of 1 (for a max of 50).

==== Part 2 - Scrip Adjustments ====

Couple other adjustments.

* Herb Hunt will award green orbs, fusion tokens, or the incidentals.
* Fusion tokens will be the majority of drops vs the incidentals.

Sellback to the NPC is being adjusted as follows:
* Candy: From 2 to 5.
* Fusion Tokens: From 5 to 10
* Fishing sellback is being reduced a small bit from 3 to 2. And that's mostly due to an error on our part from previous years.

Reason for these changes are to be closer to Duskruin's DUSKRUIN SET where you can choose 10 extra scrip. It will feel like all you're getting is fusion tokens though. This is more item management, but maybe in 2027 we can solve it at the faucet.

So really the choice between activities is the randomized stuff or recharging. Otherwise everything is similar and equal.

==== Part 3 - Fixes ====
'''Ebon Gate Fixes:''' Undergrowth of Bittermere, Herb Hunt, and Arena of the Abyss
* I think we finally found the issue with the mushrooms that don't regrow in the Undergrowth activity.
* Herb Hunt experience has been adjusted upward. You do need to forage and search for max exp, but it is now accounting for the timer better.
* Green orb drops should be improved a bit more in both the Undergrowth and AotA
.

: Distribution happens once every 24 hours at approximately 9pm EDT.
'''How do I get a token?'''
: Trove tokens are part of the Merchant Pass this year. Every pass comes with ten account-attuned tokens.
'''''What does that mean?'''''
:That means, when you redeem a merchant pass, you can get 10 tokens to use with ANYONE on your account.
'''Are there attuned items?'''
: Yes, some items – like profession customizations – are attuned and can only be entered by that profession. This is why the tokens are only account-attuned.
'''What to do if you win'''
: The great thing about the Treasure Trove is that it will MAIL you the winnings. All you have to do is go to your local post office and look for a package from Zenuoie. There is no need to be tracked down by a GameMaster, sit around at the Trove waiting for the item, or worry that you miss a pick-up window.

You sniff delicately at your pink marble tub and detect the faint scent of roses in the water.

But that's not all! These can products can be used on yourself to provide a scent and temporary adjustment to your features.

>rub jar
You deposit a small amount of soap from your glass jar into your palm and then rub your hands together. You apply the soap generously to your face, the rich lather working to remove the impurities from the surface of the skin.

You could:
* PEER into the cheval mirror to see your own reflection.
* CLEAN or TILT the cheval mirror.
* ATTEND, GAZE, FLIRT, KISS, POSE, SPIN in the mirror.
* ATTEND can further be targeted at a worn item, BODY, EYES, FACE, HAIR, LIPS, or TEETH.
* GAZE will work with any of the styles in HELP GAZE.
* POSE can be targeted at a held or worn item.

ATTEND messaging will change depending on what makeup and skincare you are wearing.

You can find these cheval mirrors in the Ebon Gate Shop Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

==== FAQ ====
: So I could nudge this onto the table in my pup tent and make it a traveling dressing room?

Thank you to everyone who played along with my little guessing game!

Premiering at Resin and Releaf will be the Resinator, a modular crafting device that allows you to utilize resin for your crafting needs.

... so I made the mistake of not ensuring I had enough consecutive posts to put it all out immediately after this one so uh... see below.

Thank you to Isten and @Vanah for their QC... and special thanks to Vanah for feature-creeping my initial concept.

* So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I'm glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
* Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let's start with a preview:
<pre {{log2}}>
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.

>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
</pre>
* Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes... yes, it did. But that's not all...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.

>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
</pre>
* But that's a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes... yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
* Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun... just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
* So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
* Okay, but what else?
Welp, it's better I show you...
<pre {{log2}}>
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.

>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.

>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.

>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box's lid back in place.

>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words "Cobbling Settings" sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.

>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.

Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.

>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.

You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.

>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn't it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
... because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like "cluster", "stalk", etc). </pre>
*Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
*How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I'm hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
* Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that... but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don't drink the resin.... but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
* Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I'm all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
* More molds? How will we store them?
[Redacted]
* Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a "resinator box"?
No, absolutely not.

I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.

:'''Refreshed Shop:''' Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
:'''New Shop:''' Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)

What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These "certificates" will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

* Unlock or script add? Both have been available for the last couple runs. You use the weapon script add for a runestaff.

He appears to be a Half-Elven Castaway of Caligos Isle.
He is very tall. He appears to be burdened with age. He has dark-rimmed hazel eyes and pale skin. He has thick, meticulously-combed, dark brown hair. He has a patch of coarse black hair sprouting forth from leathery skin behind each of his ears.

Using the Lens of Obfuscation, players can assume the aspects of various monsters they defeat. By capturing these likenesses as you POINT the tube at your slain foes, you can save them for later, to assume them as your distinguishing mark.

These characteristics are strange and can be monstrous. They may be slightly confusing in concert with your prior features, making you appear odd or scary. That's the price you pay for dabbling with an uncertain device, for synthesizing with the corpses of your enemies.

One more for now. Become one with the rolton, as you've always wanted, yes yes?

Debuting in 2026, the rock tumbler is a crafting device that will reset gemstones back to uncut, allowing them to be cut with a [[lapidary box]] and a [[gemcutter]]. The rock tumbler will be for sale in the Naidem shop [[EHShop:Glisten and Gleam|Glisten and Gleam]].

There are four unlocks available.
* The Stay-Put unlock will allow you to place it on the ground while you work.
* The shape unlock will allow you to change the noun of the gemstone, similar to the post-style option on a cobbling settings maker box. There are 44 base options.
* The pattern unlock will grant you access to one-word options in the Design list, giving you hundreds of additional shapes to choose from. You must have the shape unlock to add the pattern unlock.
* The custom unlock will open up three custom settings on the rock tumbler, up to nine, for you to have custom shapes altered by a merchant. You must have the shape unlock to add custom slots.

You put a pale mistvein sapphire in a rock tumbler.

| author = GM Vanah
| date = 10/6/2026
}}

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.

Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, "(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance."
* You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, "(Person) is ringing for entry."
* The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
* The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
* The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
'''Custom:''' You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.

The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

* PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.

'''Stay-Put Unlock'''

The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.

'''Of Masks and Marionettes''' is the 2026 [[Ebon Gate]] storyline.

== Summary ==

10.12.26 - Appearing on the dais in Evermore Hollow, a carnival sign announces that the Barthe Maeweed Carnival's Living Stage will have performances on the stage. Throughout the day, Marionette performances begin to happen. The Sign is updated with new times.

10.13.26 - Plays continue on the Living Stage. Various carnival workers, those associated with the rides, have interesting and contradictory information to share. Something is different about the Carnival Grounds that sets it apart from Naidem, but it is only a niggling thing. Something that sits at the back of the mind... a puzzle. What is different here?

[[Seynne]] is up to her games again!

Seynne, the little di penates of Wrencrest Manor, will be hosting her design games once more! A raffle will be held to select team leads under the following rules:

* 5 raffle winners will become Leads for the event.
* Each Lead may choose up to 4 additional members to join their team.
* Teams will randomly draw their theme clues and will have one hour to design and present their creations.
* Theme and item types will be announced immediately following the lead raffle drawing.

While teams are hard at work bringing their creations to life, a second raffle will be drawn to select 3 judges.

===Prizes:===

Every team wins their completed design! (Note: If your design incorporates rare woods, you are expected to provide them along with an appropriately unlocked base copy of the item—such as a basketifier or charcuterie board).

Judges will each select their favorite design to take home as well!
