			Shanked was a short storyline that ran in Solhaven in 2022. It followed the local merchant [[Duvernith]] trying to locate a once-famous vineyard in the region, which had at one time produced a legendary 5001 Vornavian Red. Duvernith had a mind to find the vineyard and somehow acquire the deed in a scheme to get rich off of its legendary grapes. The vineyard was eventually located, and the cause of its being forgotten was revealed: the local shan population had moved into the vineyard some years before and now considered it part of their hunting grounds. It concluded with the [[Forgotten Vineyard]]'s release as a hunting zone in the 58-66 level range.
	Mini-event storyline to launch the [[Forgotten Vineyard]] area for Level 58-62 [[shan]] involving the merchant [[Duvernith]]. This storyline was conducted by GM Meraki and GM Lydil.

			This storyline was conducted by GM Meraki and GM Lydil.
	==The 5001 Vornavian Red wine==
	5/18/2022

			==Summary==
	==Duvernith Assaulted!==
			On 5/18, Duvernith talks about a famous wine, the 5001 Vornavian Red, with the locals.
	5/20/2022

			On 5/20, Duvernith is assaulted by an unknown figure.

	Duvernith walked into his office inside the Mercantylers' Guild and found an envelope sitting on his desk. It was sealed with unadorned wax and only had his name on the front, written in a handwriting he had seen once before. He broken the wax with his thumb and pulled the letter out that was folded inside:
	<pre{{log2}}>
⚫	~~Master~~ Duvernith,

			On 5/21, undeterred by the assault the previous day, Duvernith leads a group to explore where he believes the legendary vineyard is. The only problem is that shan have moved in and this is now their home. The new hunting area opens.
	It is always a pleasure to find someone who does not disappoint and lives up to their reputation. You have done then and then some. Someone who can get a job done, regardless of the circumstances that crop up to it. Someone who faced severe adversity and did not back down. Someone who can understand the long view about the work they do. I wonder if those who currently employ you understand the asset they have on their hands. Should you ever grow weary of your current circumstances, know that other opportunities will avail themselves.

			On 5/26, Duvernith [[Shanked (storyline)/saved posts#Be Seeing You\|receives a mysterious letter]] referencing the legendary wine and his failure to obtain it.
	While you may have viewed your recent endeavor as a failure, you should know that it was not. Two unsavory, untrustworthy individuals, the kind who would turn upon their own to advance themselves and not care who was hurt in the process, have been given their just due. Additionally, your efforts to see the 5001 Vornavian Red located were not for naught. While it did not end up in your hands, it did end up in where it belonged in the end. Perhaps one day you can enjoy a glass of it yourself.

			==Cast of Characters==
	Regardless of your feeling, remember these words and they may prove advantageous in the future. Until then continue to not disappoint.
		⚫	* [[Duvernith]]

			==Official Vignettes==
	Be Seeing You.
			* [[Shanked (storyline)/saved posts#Be Seeing You\|Be Seeing You]]
	</pre>
	The letter was left unsigned and without any flourish. Duvernith placed it down on his desk, and just looked at it for several moments in thought. Stepping back outside his office, he asked those around if anyone had seen someone in his office but none had. Returning to his office Duvernith took the letter back up to examine it another time. As he looked over the parchment, he found it completely blank, all traces of the words were gone.

	Hey Everyone, a previously unannounced permanent hunting ground known as the Forgotten Vineyard opened in Solhaven tonight in the Prime instance. You will find a variety of Shan in the roughly late 50s to mid 60s level range. I have fond memories of hunting Shan and wanted to bring another midrange hunting ground to the Solhaven area.

	You can expect the local adventure’s guild to begin assigning tasks for the new area in the not too distant future (probably tomorrow). The hunting ground will be made available on shattered/test also at that time. (Stay tuned for release information for Platinum).

	Special thanks to GM Quilic and GM Lydil for bringing the hunting ground to life with their imagery. Thank you GM Lydil for running the Shanked storyline with Duvernith as the release event. Additional thanks to the other members of Dev team for their endless knowledge about critters and to GM Tivvy for her inspiration and motivation.

	Update: Mechanical discussions regarding the new hunting ground can be directed to the thread [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/977766189570854972 Forgotten Vineyard] in [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/532373273816858636 mechanics]
