	The month of Eorgaen, and the year's final edition of Elanthian Vogue, is traditionally when we reveal the Vogue Gallery in all its splendor. Last year, in the [[Elanthian Vogue: Eorgaen 5118 \| 5118 Vogue Gallery]], we recognized 10 individuals who embodied the "spirit of community" and we chose to present it in a special full color spread. This year, we have decided that the presentation of the Gallery will be more restricted for reasons that will become obvious.

	I'm sure, like many of us, you are suffering from a serious case of festival fatigue. 5119 was a whirlwind of events and social gatherings with the return of the [[Duskruin Arena]] – twice - and the reopening of the five [[Rings of Lumnis \| "rings"]] and archways in the Needle of Pentas on the [[Isle of Ornath]]. The [[Summit Academy]] also reopened its doors along with the surrounding [[Rumor Woods]] and its jousting tournaments.

The [[Summit Academy]] also reopened its doors along with the surrounding [[Rumor Woods]] and its jousting tournaments.

	History was made in the [[Valley of Gold]] when Elanthians from both sides of the Dragonspine gathered in the Lumnea sunshine to witness an auspicious treaty signing between Emperor [[Aurmont Chandrennin Anodheles]] and the Argent Mirror, [[Myasara Illistim]]. Then in late Phoenatos, Rorthen Windfellow unwittingly hosted us at his [[Windfellow's Retreat Festival 2019 \| Keep]] off the coast of Four Winds Isle, thanks largely to the efforts of his endearing gargoyles.

	The mists of [[Caligos Isle]] then parted once more for the usual month-long [[Ebon Gate 2019 \| Ebon Gate]] festival during Jastatos followed by Ta'Vaalor hosting the return of the biennial [[Festival of the Fallen 2019 \| Festival of the Fallen]] that saw Melivn defeat all combatants in the arena.

	And, of course, there was [[FashionCon 5119]]! [[The Looking Glass]] opened the doors of [[Ailanthus Manor]] to conference goers and presenters from other [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia \| Great Houses]] and [[Meeting Hall Organization]]s for a weekend of lectures, presentations, workshops and parties. The closing of the conference saw this year's Chalat Greyvael Illistim Award being awarded to not one but two distinguished couturiers, High Lady [[Avawren]] Fiora Nalfein and Lord Daevian Corwyth Vaalor.

	The nominated personalities include (in no particular order): Jossarian Silithyr, Laelithonel Asterfrost, Commander Roblar, Rohese Bayvel, Vincien, Ysharra Nagorn, Dreaer Idrilain, Kizalia, Socius Leiffen, Corlyne Lancre, Captain of the Falcon Nuadjha kis'Anthri, and the twins Oirisu and Airisu.

	However, at a special upcoming event, we will be auctioning off ONE very special journal complete with portraits of all the chosen individuals – one for each month of the year – along with space for your own calendar reminders or diary entries. This unique journal will be the only opportunity to see the portraits in advance and all together. As an added incentive, it will also include vouchers for free gifts to be collected throughout the year.

	Across the Dragonspine, in the [[Elven Nations]], life was comparatively quiet.

	The year was also a tumultuous one in the usually quiet and peaceful [[Mist Harbor]]. It began with strange lapses in memory for some of the residents, a cold-blooded murder in the center of town, and local and adventurer alike being assaulted by visions. Extra-dimensional guardians, attacks from demonic creatures and mortals alike, a spiteful merchant and his krolvin friends, unrest among the natives, a man - former Gallery winner [[Nehor]] no less! - beaten to death with his own arm, a battle in the skies over the island with the fate of Elanthia in the balance. Through it all the resilience and strength of the people of Mist Harbor shone through; the willingness of adventurers from every corner of the world, and every background imaginable, to work together for the common good was an inspiration.

	Pursuing atonement and revenge against ~~the witch,~~ [[Raznel]], the Landing's time-traveling mage [[Pylasar]] led adventurers to eliminate the source of ~~Raznel~~'s immortality: the paragons he had helped her create, people abducted from the past and imbued with the witch's essence. Raznel retaliated with famine, plague, scarabs, antimagic, and invasions in a physical, mental, and emotional war, but the frontier rallied as Pylasar and Marshals Thadston and Thrayzar gathered an array of allies including Chronomage Chrysamber Epoch, new Rook leader Mother, the Hall of Mages, the Eloth Dai, and even the Dissembler Quinshon! Adventurers ended Raznel at last, but not without sacrifice as Pylasar and the Marshals are still missing in action. Some believe them to be dead while others await their return one day, but either way they will be remembered.

	Beyond the glacier and formidable Glatoph Mountain, the northern hamlet of [[Icemule Trace]] also experienced a mixture of celebration and strife with its [[Faire of the North]] being held under the cloud of persecution. After a well-fought battle over many months, the residents, with the guiding hand of their Mayor, [[Tawariell]] Andrenae, finally overcame the threat of the self-proclaimed Queen [[Daukhera Darkflorr]] and her Minions. Her crown of bones is no more.
