... wish that people could see the writing on your tattoo without having to read it to them?

... want to touch intricate details of your tattoo that have otherwise been untouchable?

... want to trace a specific part of your tattoo that's your favorite?

... want others to see the great detail of your beloved tattoo without them getting so close and personal?

Yea... Me, too.

Dear Fox Diary, today I was summoned by my master. Who does he think he is?

''<ENTER, THE FOX!>'' 
Your silver fox trots in and up to you.

The silver fox paces uneasily in a circle.

I follow him around, he gives me food now and then.

SE

Your silver fox ambles into the area and up to you.

The silver fox slinks away, her tail low to the ground.

He keeps picking me up! I don't like being held, but he isn't so bad. So I let him hold me now and then. Not for long though! I am a fox! I really don't like it when people who aren't my master try to play with me. Sometimes I even let him pet me...

get fox 
You lean down and call to your silver fox who canters eagerly to you. Your fox stands up on its haunches allowing you to slide one arm under her belly. You draw her in against your side and lift her up.

Your silver fox arches her neck up and licks you.

Your silver fox squirms.

Your silver fox nibbles at your side as if it is cleaning you. Hey, that tickles!

Your silver fox pushes off of you and jumps to the ground from your grasp.

pet fox 
You reach out and pat your silver fox on the head.
pet fox 
You reach out and scratch behind your silver fox's ears.
pet fox 
You reach out and stroke your silver fox's tail.

point fox
You point just behind your silver fox who quickly turns around prepared to attack. Your fox sits down and gives you a look over her shoulder.

A sleek silver fox with oversized ears sits down and takes a moment to lick her paws.

Your silver fox walks up to you and places one paw on your knee before sitting down. A curious look on her face.

I can be a boy or a girl. I can be many colors and have different features. There are many combinations! I like to play with other animals and pets!

If you leave me alone after you decide to be done adventuring, I'll come back when you call to me. If you haven't seen me recently you can call to me again.

I think that is all for today.

xoxo, Foxy Lady

{{#section:White alloy/story|savedpost2020}}
----
White alloy was originally the failed attempt to create a cheap permanently blessed material. However, it was recently discovered that, when properly blended, this alloy is anathema to the cursed shades and undead spirits that haunt Elanthia. Undead spirits struck by a white alloy weapon take extra damage and are temporarily anchored to the mortal plane when slain. Undead spirits recoil from white alloy armor and shields, making it harder for them to damage those bearing such equipment.

White alloy is considered a magical metal and can be used to craft weapons, armor, and shields. However, it is unsuitable for bows, staves, claidhmores, and katanas. It has a natural enchantment of +20. It can not be dyed.

In addition to that, it's non-corporeal undead bane, which means its +8 damage weighting and doesn't require a bless to hit non-corporeal undead. When it does hit non-corporeal undead, it anchors their spirit, preventing them from instantly decaying. It does require a bless to hit corporeal undead.

The new metal, white alloy, will be released in Rumor Woods. You can look for it in the shop, Devout Alloy.

Ever been frustrated about not being able to indicate exactly which finger you were wearing your ring on? Or show others whether those bracelets were just on one wrist or both? Look at Me Jewelry, debuting at Rumor Woods this year, can be the solution for you.

This special new script for fluff accessories allows for a separate description when worn, giving you more flexibility on alterations. There are also specific settings to indicate where you are wearing that perfect piece of jewelry so that the messaging updates properly. So that engagement ring can actually be on your left ring finger, or you can actually have manacles on both of your wrists.

Be sure to check out Vaunt It and Flaunt It and peruse the curated selection of jewelry for sale there to find the best accessory for your outfit. Something not to your liking? Any merchant should be able to alter the worn or unworn descriptions, as well as change the specific area an item is worn (such as changing what finger a ring is worn on.)

Current "general" wear locations you may find: pin-worn (brooches, armbands, etc.), finger-worn, neck-worn, wrist-worn, ankle-worn, single ear and both ears. Each general wear location has several specific locations they can be set to to better indicate where/how exactly something is being worn, and the messaging is slightly different for each - be sure to find the right piece for your outfit!

This linen ritual shroud was getting jealous of everyone's spell preps and decided to do something about it:

''>pre 101'' 
The folds of your linen ritual shroud float for a moment, drifting in the currents of a phantom wind as you prepare Spirit Warding I. 
Your spell is ready. 
''>cast'' 
You gesture. 
A light blue glow surrounds you.

Rumor Woods is about a month away and we are putting the finishing touches on many things.

Things like...

Two new Giantkin documents.

One new Dwarven vignette.

Is everyone getting excited for the return of the Grand Tourney at Rumor Woods and the Battle of the Coney and the Tortoise?

Rumor Woods will run from Friday, June 19th at 9:00 PM through Sunday, June 28 at 11:59 PM. There are LOTS of additions and updates this time around, so buckle in!

Let's start with shops. We have new shops! We have old shops! We have updated shops! Want a list? Okay!

NEW SHOPS: 
Born to Adorn 
Debout Alloy 
Flypaper Designers 
In the Loop 
Robes of Resistance 
Rollin' in the Greens 
The Colorful Carapace 
The Spellsmith 
Trim and Polish 
Vaunt It and Flaunt It 

REFRESHED SHOPS: 
Cloak 'N Mount 
Container Yourself 
Earthtones 
Fanfare 
Gifts of Atan Irith 
Horse of a Different Fashion 
Horsing Around 
Poiret & Co. 
Quit Stallin' 
Sweetie Pies 
The Gallant Groomer 
The Galloping Gait 
The Gift Horse 
The Knight's Way 
The Tartan Cloth 
Tourney Tents 
Unfurling Battle 
What Remains 

REOPENED SHOPS: 
Ostler's Den* 
Braid and Mane** 
Mane and Tail Above the Rest 
Stick Your Nose In It 

* This time around, you won't have to deal with feature upgrade certificates! Ostler has come to live in Rumor Woods, and he is available to handle all your feature upgrade needs without all the fuss of feature certificates. He's got all the fine details for available upgrades specific to your mount, and he can handle them with minimal effort. Please note that with this boosted functionality comes some feature tier changes -- you may have received some features last run that are not available this run due to tier changes. This is intended. We did an overhaul of all of the available features and feel we have done a good job dividing them all up to make sure that each tier has some special feature alterations available.

If you happen to have any feature certificates stockpiled from last year, you'll need to RAISE the certificate to get your raikhen back.

Ostler can also handle a gender-swap if you decide that you would rather have a female horse or turtle instead of a male horse or turtle (or vice versa), though he can't make your filly a male or your colt a female (oh, right. We didn't have colts last year...but this is 2020??!). Any gender-specific mount-nouns will remain available only to that gender.

** Horse braid features are functioning this time (BUUUUUUUT if you happen to have one of those braid items from the 2019 run, do not use it until after you have received an all clear). The scripts that govern this functionality ARE NOT in the live instances yet, so if you use those old items, you're going to break your mount again! Not too much longer, and you'll be able to use them safely.

NEW SHINY THINGS

I know, this is what you really want to know about! Right?

* Theme! The Battle of the Coney and the Tortoise! WOO. All of the grounds have been updated to reflect this. No more serpents and phoenixes. If you really liked those, I'm sorry. This year you get coneys and tortoises!

* There's a new garment in town: Arisaid. Look for the excellent documentation on this, as well.

* Resistance cloaks are a thing now. Just when you thought you were done with your battle wardrobe!

* Fancy ways to travel - or, at least, prepare the spell that helps you travel. We came up with some fancy schmancy stuff! Oh, and speaking of fancy schmany spell prep stuff, make sure you check out The Spellsmith. It's customized spell preps like you've never seen them before.

* Koras and banduras are now eligible nouns for instruments. If you're not familiar with them, check 'em out. They're pretty nifty instruments.

* Interactive Tattoos - GM Thandiwe shared these with you already, but they're still very shiny and new. And glorious.

* Foxes. Cute, sweet, adorable foxes. These rare creatures can only be obtained in the Fox Hunt activity - and these are extremely rare (think golvern segment rare). In addition, you don't have to worry about a cage or a basket or something to attach to your belt. Nope, GM Retser was insistent on making sure he saved your belt spots for other things. So instead, you will find a bugle, and that is how you will call your beloved furry friend to your side. But bear in mind, once you use the bugle and call your foxy fur fiend - it's yours forever. And, with the bugles, once you find one, you're done -- as in, you won't find any more if you continue to participate in the fox hunt activity. You can give your bugle away if you are absolutely not interested, but, not if you have already summoned the fox. (As a side note, there's a chance that when you summon your fox, you could be fortunate enough to lure a vixen or a tod, or maybe even a kit! But you'll always get a fox once you have a bugle. And, whatever you summon the first time, is what you'll summon everytime thereafter.)

* Mounts. We have lots going on here! First - in line with our new Tournament Theme for 2020, which is "The Battle of the Coney and the Tortoise", we are releasing our second mount, the giant tortoise! "I'm going to ride a turtle????" I know this is what you're thinking. But turn your eyes over there. >>> These GIANT tortoises are, well, huge. And the uncommon version is even huger. More huge? Bigger huger? A cryptodira is pretty big. The rare version of the giant tortoise -- the Megalochelys atlas -- let's just say I don't ever want to come face-to-face with one in real life. OK? And that brings me to my next update...

* Draft horse. These are huge horses! Majestic horses! Probably way too big for halflings or gnomes to ride. In fact, they're definitely too big for halflings and gnomes to ride. But that's okay, because...

* Ponies. Yep. I said it. We made them. They're there. They're NOT Shire ponies, and they should not be confused with them, but ponies definitely exist in Elanthia. I have proof. I've seen them in Rumor Woods. Oh, and giantmen? Sorry...

* Fast travel! Finally! 'NUFF SAID. (Ok, there's more, but I'll let GM Retser handle it.)

* Backtrack just a bit -- with draft horses and giant tortoises, those two specifically, will always carry that adjective. The atlas turtles will always have "Megalochelys" as part of the base description, as well. It's a mouthful. Who came up with these words way back then anyway?

* War paint for turtles! It's temporary, yo - but paint up those shells! You know you always wanted to do that.

* You will now be able to upgrade your surita runestaves from lesser to greater. And, we'll make sure to have at least one runestaff available that is unscripted.

* White alloy: a new melee material; held weapons and UAC only (no runestaves, no bows). There is a vignette soon to be released about this, so I won't spoil it for you.

* Cost review of weight reduction over 20%. [added to list 5/30/20]

* And probably more things I've forgotten to add to this list!

''>Will existing white alloy weapons retain their properties, or gain these?'' 
As far as I know, no existing white alloy weapons (if any exist) have any properties. And if they do exist, they will not gain the properties of this material.

''>What are the chances of being able to go to a particular area and have a smaller pool to summon a fox from?'' 
At this point, slim. We've already handled the summon/creation process and it doesn't involve player location.

''>...white alloy discussion...'' 
Any existing white alloy is not the real white alloy. It's probably a metal material with the description "white alloy". Very different and not REALLY white alloy. This is usually the case for materials that suddenly become a real material rather than just a text description on your item (which is what used to happen "way back when".)

Hey guys -- just a few more things here.

* Mount bugs - I'm aware of some outstanding bugs here. I have some fixes in currently that won't be LIVE until the event opening. Please bear with me on these - I know it's a little frustrating (for all of us!) but I'm hopeful that we've nailed down most of them. If you continue to experience issues, though, please let me know about them.

* Stalls - there are some upgrades coming here. I don't know if I'll get them in for this run or the next run, but these will see some nice upgrades in the (near) future.
