	At Naidem this year, players can embark on a quest that will span the next few years. This year, there will be three phases to the quest, each phase requiring characters to perform enough actions to trigger the next. Participating characters will be tracked behind-the-scenes for potential future accolades or consequences (POTENTIAL, no guarantees). This is a roleplaying/storyline event, so we are not going to give a lot of information about it here, as we want players to have the ability to discover it themselves.

	Starting tonight, you can access the area, and at some point this week/early weekend, the quest itself will kick off. We'll post a quick announcement when that happens.

	Going to start a new thread on this, but I am pasting the old thread here if you want to scan the old one if any of this is new to you.

	[https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1157930535637757963/1157930535637757963 2023 Sonreeva Post]

	Last year we had a false start, but we allowed the ring to be upgraded last run at a scaling price and the dungeon crawl itself was untouched. I mentioned last year we will come to a better conclusion on the pricing of the ring and it was upgraded at your own risk! The original pricing plan was 10k to get the ring, and then 20k, 30k, 40k, and 50k to fully upgrade over the years, but it wasn't clear at the start so I mentioned I would take a year off from updates until we had more time to come to some better conclusions.

	A good chunk of the puzzles have been updated this year. There is a hint system you can access if you're stuck in certain areas. Not all puzzles have hints, but any place that you are stuck with no way out will have some hints somewhere. Whether it's a specific verb or something in the area. In case it wasn't clear, there are hidden exits throughout if you do get stuck and want to just get out of this place. The dungeon crawl does require reading through the areas, listening to NPC dialogue, and searching around. It can be completed by yourself, but it may have areas of difficulty if you don't come prepared. Examples would be to bring herbs, possibly some magic items, and be ready to fight creatures.

	Sonreeva is a little larger than last time, with some areas having a new layout or theme. Some areas can be skipped, as multiple ways to solve areas are being introduced this year. There is a "save point" toward the end where you can rest. It should be a little clear that it's a safe spot, but an easy way to tell is if creatures don't spawn there. There are 3 old secrets that you can discover. There are 2 new secrets you can discover. These secrets play into older RPGs or nod toward other games. They might require multiple attempts to find, even if you have tried over and over in a room and see nothing. Having more people can be helpful. When you discover a secret, you get listed as having done so in your EVENT STATS. You can only get credit once per secret and there is a small reward for getting it.

	There is a lot of guessing the verb in here, we're a MUD after all. There are things you might have to do in specific orders that can reset if you do them wrong. You can die from doing them wrong in some areas. Sonreeva is telling a story, something is going on here. There are clearly two or three separate pieces to it. I would be interested in hearing theories about it.

	The end prize cost will be a flat 15,000 soul shards each time instead of a scaling cost. It has 5 tiers, and each tier is unlocked each year. This year marks tier 3. The catch-up mechanic will be changing after this year. You can get it fully caught up this year, but after this year, you may only do one upgrade a year if you miss it. You can still catch up as Naidem is planned to be a long-term home for EG, and Sonreeva is going to stay beyond the 5 years of tiering. I will post more in a follow-up comment.

	Sonreeva opens Friday evening a little after merchant week starts in Prime.

	At the end of Sonreeva, there will be a shop similar to what I put out in the Mobile Smithy. Unique items such as some unreleased temporal weapons, monster fleshes, and some other high-end goodies. They won't all be there from the start and I will post when anything new is added. They will all be in soul shard pricing similar to what I did at Duskruin for pricing, so if you got a big bag of shards and want to spend them, this might be for you.

	There will also be some new rare drops on creatures this run. Some single-use SimuCoin Store items may populate on creatures you can kill. Even though they are commonly purchased in the store, the drop rate will be on the leaner side just since it's only a single cube entry to get in here. You might find one during a run to keep it interesting. They will have different descriptions from the SimuCoin Store stuff so they don't get confused and are listed in shops after this to mislead people. Be sure to share what you find!
