== The Bittermere Woods Wishing Well ==
Tucked away in the Bitteremere Woods, amid the toadstools and flora, is an ancient wishing well. It is rumored to be haunted, but some casually ignore that and toss their special coins into it anyway. Will you dare?

This year, instead of an eel egg being found in Fishing, you will find a ridge-edged painted wooden coin. You can, of course, keep this coin, which can be flipped and spun, gazed at and tickled. But if you dare, you can toss it in the Biteremere Woods wishing well.

Without a doubt you’ll be gifted with a 3x attuned rpa orb. But there is a chance, a pretty good one, that you could become haunted. You have been warned.

== Fishing and Attendant Announcement ==

'''Attendant at Ebon Gate'''

Due to the changes in the currency and the sweeping changes I'm about to announce, I need to make sure that everyone is aware that the Attendant that buys back items from fishing will have a price change. This price change is based on multiple factors such as the overall pricing change, the new changes (I'm about to announce) for fishing, and the (new) ease of obtaining these items through fishing, Herb Hunt, and Trick or Treating.

'''Fishing'''

Given the conversation and feedback, we’ve decided to do the following with Fishing:

1) We’ve coded in some checks and balances to reduce fishing weights, drastically, that way everyone can fish.<br>
2) We are not going to sell a Simucoin Pass or ask you to fish for silvers. Instead, we are reverting to 50 soul shards per entry.<br>
3) All spell preps, customs, tokens, etc. can be sold to the Attendant<br>
4) Flare Tokens are moving to the Dungeon Crawl<br>

After a really long discussion, we felt this was the easiest, best way to have fishing work for everyone.

== Live Games Information ==
'''Spooky Ciphers - Rules & Description'''<br>
Spooky Ciphers is an anagram game. The hosts will read an anagram, and the first person to solve for the word wins a point. Twenty anagrams will be read, and the two players with the highest scores will be deemed winners.

'''Chilling Tales - Rules & Description'''<br>
Chilling Tales is a storytelling contest with a spooky theme. Up to ten individuals can compete. There will be a sign-up list at the event. Contestants will have five minutes to tell an '''original''' spooky story. Contestants will be cut off if they go over the time limit. Judging will be based on time, adherence to spooky theme, style, and content. The three players with the highest scores will be deemed winners and receive prizes.

'''Haunted Spirits: Rules & Description'''<br>
Haunted Spirits is this year's live games cooking contest, with a twist! Instead of a food dish, you will be created a beverage. One hour before the contest's start, a crate containing six ingredients will be open for viewing. At least four of these ingredients must be used in your liquid concoction.

When the event starts, ten contestants can sign up. Each contestant will be given a sack with a secret ingredient in it. You'll have ten minutes from that point to create your final beverage and then five minutes to make it for everyone. You may also use one ingredient of your own choosing, and water will be considered available for everyone.

During your five minutes, you should prepare your concoction, putting on a show for everyone. At the end, the judges will sample it. Judging will be based on a scale of 1-10 for time management, ingredients used, style and flair of creation, and the creativity of the final product (its name, description, tastes). Top three will be awarded prizes, with the winner getting a special commemorative teabowl as well.

Tips: <br>
1. DON'T waste precious time actually picking up the supplied ingredients. Just use ACTs and other RP tools to show which ones you are working with. Almost everyone who goes over on time does so because they are trying to pick up and put down every single item whenever they want to do something with it, and that extra time is killer!

2. DO get creative with your style and flair! This is your time to shine and make an impression.

3. DON'T go OOC.

4. DO try to also present your final tastes like actual drink messages. For example, "The refined palate sipping this beverage should notice the notes of winterberry and pickle juice swirled with barbecued rolton." It's not QUITE a drink message, but it's an IC way to get across what one would be if it were a real item.

'''Lethal Libations: Rules & Description'''<br>
Lethal Libations is a game of chance, and it may be lethal, so come prepared! When it is your turn, you pick a libation from the basket and drink it. If you are poisoned, you are out! Rounds will continue until we are down to the last man standing! Last two will receive prizes.

'''Ghastly Guts: Rules & Description'''<br>
How well can you fling some guts at a target? Come on by and find out! Up to forty contestants can participate. The illustrious judges will provide you with five bits of gut-flinging materials. Scoring is based off where you hit the target. All five attempts will be totaled. Top two high scores will receive prizes.

'''Otherworldy Omens: Rules & Description'''<br>
Fancy yourself a master at divination? A purveyor of all things clairvoyant? Well, come show how good you are at Otherworldly Omens! Up to ten contestants can participate. Ten minutes before your turn, you will be given a sack containing the item you are to attempt your reading on. When it is your turn, you will have five minutes to perform the reading. Contestants will be cut off if they go over the time limit. Judging will be based on time, adherence to divination theme (such as incorporating the item given, doing a reading, etc), style, and content. The three players with the highest scores will be deemed winners.

== The Enchantment of Naidem ==

By now, many if you are wondering...

“If the dead are jealous of the living, then what does this mean for me?”

“If only witches and necromancers can wander freely, then how can I move about?”

Well, the answer to this is very, very simple.

Upon passing through the Ebon Gate into Naidem a powerful enchantment will fall upon you that disguises you from the Unliving of Naidem. Every living person that enters Naidem has this enchantment fall upon them, unless they have done the following:

1) Have a title of '''Witch or Necromancer'''. The '''Unliving''' both revere and fear these individuals, and as such they let htem wander freely.

2) Have a mask on. For some unknown reason, the Unliving are confused by masks and don’t bother with individuals that wear them.

If you do not have these titles and do not take the precaution of wearing a mask, then you will be transformed by the enchantment to hide yourself from the Unliving. What will you be transformed into?

If you are a '''giantman''', then you will wear the visage of a '''formorian'''.

If you are an ''elf''', then you will wear the visage of a '''gjenganger'''.

Well, you get the idea.

The enchantment only lasts while you are in Naidem.

== Voln Armor & Globus Elanthias ==
Voln Armor and Globus Elanthias Unlocks will be offered Off-the-Shelf at Ebon Gate.

Voln Armor Unlocks

== The Quest & Contest at Evermore Hollow ==
Be sure to visit '''Evermore Hollow’s Town Hall''' so that you can take part in the two activities there.

'''Return of the Spook!'''<br>
Visit the Spectral Waifling in the Spookorium to start playing the unlively Spook Contest! The top five winners at the end of Ebon Gate will receive special titles.

Just ask her about CONTEST to begin your adventure.

'''The Newly Unliving Registry'''<br>
Every new person in Evermore Hollow registers with the town hall clerk, who provides you with a Guidebook to the Unliving. This Guidebook starts you on your adventures in Naidem by giving you small tasks to complete. Each task unlocks a new chapter in your Guidebook that is designed to ease your transition into this new realm.

Completing every quest fully unlocks the Guidebook and provides the following:<br>
* Detailed chapters of about each area in Bittermere Woods, Ember Orchard, Evermore Hollow, Gleyminn Anni River, and Graveyard Temporalis.
* Your book now becomes a guide to working merchants during Service Week.
* Your book now tells you what each merchant is working on and when they started.
* Your book now becomes a guide to all currently running raffles.
* Your book now teleports you to the shop of a working merchant (PnC only).

Regardless of if you’ve completed the quest, each portal leading to a merchant’s workroom has been equipped with a Monster Bold display of what the merchant is working on, when they started, and how long they will be working.

== Off-the Shelf Flares ==
Quinton Manse now has a corridor connecting the western and eastern nooks, and within this area are common flare tokens for 1,000 soul shards (fire, cold, lightning, impact, and vacuum), uncommon flare tokens for 3,000 soul shards (disintegrate, disruption, unbalance, grapple, acid, plasma, steam, water, air), and rare flare tokens for 5,000 soul shards (slash, puncture, and crush). You can take these tokens to the fuath to have the flares added to your item.

Going forward, Ebon Gate is where you will find the above-mentioned flares as an add-on service. The other flares will remain at Duskruin. To ensure those folks that wish Greater Elemental Flares at Duskruin can get a base flare on their item, we are going to add a surcharge to add that necessary flare for you. This can be further discussed on the Duskruin Channel.

Additionally, at some point tonight, the Trove will open with the following offerings and will run for 7 days.<br>
3 magma<br>
1 blink<br>
1 rot<br>
2 banshee<br>

During service week, I will be running a merchant that will be working on removing the flares that are allowed to be removed from scripted items. This will eventually be something that the korrigan can do but we have to build the appropriate list first. That means two things:

1. The service will be slow as each script has to be researched and recorded<br>
2. It will have the same soul shard cost that the korrigan would have charged for the property removal slip.<br>

Lastly, to prevent an accidental sale, the gjengqnger in Gavelsdown Hall will no longer be buying back flare tokens.

== Trove at Naidem ==

There will be two Trove sessions this year. The first runs from 10/8/2022 through 10/14/2022. They will draw at approximately 9pm EDT.

This first trove houses rare Flare Tokens which can be used at the Autoflarer. You will have to pay him to add your flare.

The Flares for this first session are:

3 Magma<br>
1 Blink<br>
1 Rot<br>
2 Banshee Flares

This will be the last year of Blink Flares as the owner has future plans for them.

We are attempting something new. It may not stick around. However, there is a new shop that just opened up in the gold-trimmed wagon in the Moorlyn Neighborhood. It will offer five common wood mandrake whistles, one randomly producing dragonfly morning glory, and five unique (never before released) Cat yarn balls.
You may TWIST the gown to cycle through the ribbon embellishment options or WHISPER my gown RIBBON # to change the current ribbon embellishment.

General Information

This year we are introducing the realm of Naidem, the land between where those that have died but are not ready to move on, or the respective deities are not ready to claim them, reside. This will be the new, permanent grounds for the Festival of Ebon Gate.

Evermore Hollow

The village of Evermore Hollow is surrounded by orchards, woods, and a lazy river. The Inner Circle hosts regular town-like shops with everything from an herbalist, an alchemist, a bank, a gemshop, and a pawnshop.

There are five manor houses there:

  • Evermore Hollow Town Hall - This is the seat of government.
  • Gravelsdown Hall - Home of the Trove and much more.
  • Wrencrest Rookery - Home of the Merchant Lounge.
  • Quinton Manse - Home of Unlock Certificates for items not sold at EG.
  • Antiquarian Manor - Home of the Rare Finds.

Neighborhoods

Evermore Hollow has six neighborhoods that can be visited for ambiance or shopping. They are:

  • Moorlyn - Merchant Shops
  • Winterbriar - Merchant Shops
  • Vigil's End - Merchant Shops
  • Fate's Holding - Merchant Shops
  • Innocent's End - Home of the Live Games
  • Endeltime Estates - Home of Trick-or-Treating

To the North of Evermore Hollow is the Ember Ridge Orchard, which has fruit and nuts that can be harvested from its trees.

To the East of Evermore Hollow is the Bittermere Woods, an enchanted forest of oversized towering mushrooms, and psychedelic wonders, and home to the Herb Hunt where it is rumored that Mandrakes can be found.

To the West of Evermore Hollow is Graveyard Temporalis. Crypts and Mausoleums are surrounded by tombstones, curving pathways, and various haunts. This is also the home of a new quest. Just outside the gates of the graveyard is a portal that leads to the Arena of the Abyss.

Curling along the southern edges of the town, a lazy river called Gleyminn Anni River leads to four different Fishing Areas, where guests can search the haunted waters for the twisted denizens in hopes of winning prizes.

The Breakdown - Games

Trick-or-Treating is returning once again. Entries can be purchased in the Simucoin Store. And the following prizes can be obtained:

Herb Hunt is a new game being added. A couple is looking for the rare Toadshade in the Gardens of Bittermere Woods. They are happy to take any herbs that you find there, but the best prizes are the fabled Toadshade, a particularly shy plant that is rumored to be able to get up and walk around. The Prizes are:

  • Gemstones
  • Simucoin Items
  • Soul Shards
  • Mandrake Pet

Simucoin Cost: 100 per entry

  • Platinum - Friday, October 7th at 9pm - Friday October 14th at 9pm
  • Prime - Friday, October 14th at 9pm - Friday October 21st at 9pm

Here are all of the details for the Ebon Gate Cooking Contest!

Please note: The single service pass gives you access to Live Games, Merchant Services, and Raffles.

Simucoin Cost: 3,000 for the entire event

Back by Popular Demand The Weekend of October 21st, from 9pm on Friday Night through 9am Monday the 24th, no roleplaying events, storylines, games, or merchanting will be taking place.

Eve of Reunion Event

On October 29th, the Eve of Reunion Event returns for Prime, followed by Platinum on October 30th.

Everyone who gets an Invitation will have the opportunity to purchase bone ring charging goo and will get one of the remaining trove items.

Breakdown of Other Offerings

  • The Fusion Shaman will be returning. He may look different, but he will be on the streets of Evermore Hollow.
  • The Enchanter will also be returning to charge your magic items, he too will be wandering the streets of Evermore Hollow.
  • The Return of the Permifier! This will return and will be accepting your soul shards.

And an Old Familiar Face now finds himself haunting Evermore Hollow, offering his unique services for those that can find him wandering the streets.

There will be a means to sell back your various treasure finds (Fusion Tokens, Trove Tokens, Spell Customs, etc) in Gavelsdown Manor. We have moved this to its own room so that guests do not have to go to the Trove and it will always be accessible.

Nestled away in Quinton Manse, the Flarer is back! Flare tokens will now drop in appropriate tiers through Fishing. You can then use your flare token with the Auto Flarer.

Antiquarian Manor will have a unique purchasable item that allows you to house your Rare Materials in it. There will also be an NPC that will turn your unscripted discards into Rare Materials for you.

Offerings at Quinton Manse

Situated in the Inner Ring, Quinton Manse is a multi-floor domicile dedicated to offering a variety of services to visitors.

Western Nook - Auto Flarer - This NPC will be taking your flare tokens and transferring those flares to the item of your choice. The cost is nearly half of what it was on Caligos Isle. He will also have some custom flare certificates on sale at his location.

Eastern Nook - Dabbler - This NPC will be removing properties from your item. Just like the dabbler at Duskruin, this NPC will charge you to have those removed. The cost is the same. He will also have custom flare certificates on sale at his location

Garden - An Old Friend - Without saying too much to ruin the surprise, there is an NPC that will be hanging out in the Quinton Garden that will offer a special service for Soul Shards. This service hasn't been offered in a number of years.

The Parlor - Fusion Shaman - This NPC will accept your fusion tokens and perform the task of creating fusion orbs for you.

The Study - The following unlock certificates will be available off the shelf:


The Sitting Room - The following unlock certificates are available off the shelf:

The Kitchen has

  • Cookies
  • Pastries

Offerings at Antiquary Mansion

Owned by a recluse, Antiquary Mansion is a museum-like abode filled with rare finds. Some of these finds will be available throughout the festival, while others will be rare in nature and have specific opening and closing times for guests to purchase from them.

The Main Halls are filled with curios and display cases. Some of the things you will find there that can be purchased at any time are:

  • Ko'nag
  • Widowwood
  • Storm Agate
  • Dawn Agate
  • Blood Agate
  • Dream Agate
  • Nathala Agate
  • Spectral Agate
  • Sunset Beryl
  • Cinnamon Amber
  • Blue Nathalene
  • Ithaenil
  • Naraina
  • Storm Agita
  • Aura Agita
  • Dusk Agita
  • Dawn Agita
  • Ocean Agita
  • Summit Agita
  • Skyglass
  • Arathiel
  • Vergless
  • Aragless


Down one of the halls, in a special study, An Antiquarian works behind his desk. If you give him your unscripted items that have rare materials in their base description, then he will give you back a piece of rare material.

Example: If you give an unscripted golvern word to the antiquarian, then he will return to you a trade bar of golvern that can only be used as alter fodder.

If you give him a zydris mirror, then he will give you back a branch of zydris.

He also has on his desk a unique item that will let you store up to 20 different types of rare materials and allow them to stack. The Antiquarian's Apparatus is a rare find!

Lastly, there is a sealed room that during certain parts of the festival will be opened so that even rarer materials can be purchased, but they will have limited quantity.

The Garden in Quinton Manse

Hiding away from the prying eyes of Diriko, Sylinaar is the Old Friend that is returning to the scene.

He will be offering the following services:

1. Make an enhancive item that would currently crumble when the last charge is expended not crumble (10,000 soul shards)
2. Increase the total charge pool of an enhancive item by 10 charges or 10%, whichever is greater (4,000 soul shards)
3. Recharge an enhancive item by 10 charges up to the item's maximum (4,000 soul shards)
4. Remove a single enhancive property from an item (10,000 soul shards)
5. Enhancive swapping within these categories: (10,000 soul shards)

A. Strength, Wisdom, or Aura (any one to another)

Does this service work for Fusion Orbs? Yes

Does this service allow you to swap Shield or Armor? No

The Bittermere Woods Wishing Well

Tucked away in the Bitteremere Woods, amid the toadstools and flora, is an ancient wishing well. It is rumored to be haunted, but some casually ignore that and toss their special coins into it anyway. Will you dare?

This year, instead of an eel egg being found in Fishing, you will find a ridge-edged painted wooden coin. You can, of course, keep this coin, which can be flipped and spun, gazed at and tickled. But if you dare, you can toss it in the Biteremere Woods wishing well.

Without a doubt you’ll be gifted with a 3x attuned rpa orb. But there is a chance, a pretty good one, that you could become haunted. You have been warned.

Fishing and Attendant Announcement

Attendant at Ebon Gate

Due to the changes in the currency and the sweeping changes I'm about to announce, I need to make sure that everyone is aware that the Attendant that buys back items from fishing will have a price change. This price change is based on multiple factors such as the overall pricing change, the new changes (I'm about to announce) for fishing, and the (new) ease of obtaining these items through fishing, Herb Hunt, and Trick or Treating.

Fishing

Given the conversation and feedback, we’ve decided to do the following with Fishing:

1) We’ve coded in some checks and balances to reduce fishing weights, drastically, that way everyone can fish.
2) We are not going to sell a Simucoin Pass or ask you to fish for silvers. Instead, we are reverting to 50 soul shards per entry.
3) All spell preps, customs, tokens, etc. can be sold to the Attendant
4) Flare Tokens are moving to the Dungeon Crawl

After a really long discussion, we felt this was the easiest, best way to have fishing work for everyone.

Live Games Information

Spooky Ciphers - Rules & Description
Spooky Ciphers is an anagram game. The hosts will read an anagram, and the first person to solve for the word wins a point. Twenty anagrams will be read, and the two players with the highest scores will be deemed winners.

Chilling Tales - Rules & Description
Chilling Tales is a storytelling contest with a spooky theme. Up to ten individuals can compete. There will be a sign-up list at the event. Contestants will have five minutes to tell an original spooky story. Contestants will be cut off if they go over the time limit. Judging will be based on time, adherence to spooky theme, style, and content. The three players with the highest scores will be deemed winners and receive prizes.

Haunted Spirits: Rules & Description
Haunted Spirits is this year's live games cooking contest, with a twist! Instead of a food dish, you will be created a beverage. One hour before the contest's start, a crate containing six ingredients will be open for viewing. At least four of these ingredients must be used in your liquid concoction.

When the event starts, ten contestants can sign up. Each contestant will be given a sack with a secret ingredient in it. You'll have ten minutes from that point to create your final beverage and then five minutes to make it for everyone. You may also use one ingredient of your own choosing, and water will be considered available for everyone.

During your five minutes, you should prepare your concoction, putting on a show for everyone. At the end, the judges will sample it. Judging will be based on a scale of 1-10 for time management, ingredients used, style and flair of creation, and the creativity of the final product (its name, description, tastes). Top three will be awarded prizes, with the winner getting a special commemorative teabowl as well.

Tips:
1. DON'T waste precious time actually picking up the supplied ingredients. Just use ACTs and other RP tools to show which ones you are working with. Almost everyone who goes over on time does so because they are trying to pick up and put down every single item whenever they want to do something with it, and that extra time is killer!

2. DO get creative with your style and flair! This is your time to shine and make an impression.

3. DON'T go OOC.

4. DO try to also present your final tastes like actual drink messages. For example, "The refined palate sipping this beverage should notice the notes of winterberry and pickle juice swirled with barbecued rolton." It's not QUITE a drink message, but it's an IC way to get across what one would be if it were a real item.

Lethal Libations: Rules & Description
Lethal Libations is a game of chance, and it may be lethal, so come prepared! When it is your turn, you pick a libation from the basket and drink it. If you are poisoned, you are out! Rounds will continue until we are down to the last man standing! Last two will receive prizes.

Ghastly Guts: Rules & Description
How well can you fling some guts at a target? Come on by and find out! Up to forty contestants can participate. The illustrious judges will provide you with five bits of gut-flinging materials. Scoring is based off where you hit the target. All five attempts will be totaled. Top two high scores will receive prizes.

Otherworldy Omens: Rules & Description
Fancy yourself a master at divination? A purveyor of all things clairvoyant? Well, come show how good you are at Otherworldly Omens! Up to ten contestants can participate. Ten minutes before your turn, you will be given a sack containing the item you are to attempt your reading on. When it is your turn, you will have five minutes to perform the reading. Contestants will be cut off if they go over the time limit. Judging will be based on time, adherence to divination theme (such as incorporating the item given, doing a reading, etc), style, and content. The three players with the highest scores will be deemed winners.

The Enchantment of Naidem

By now, many if you are wondering...

“If the dead are jealous of the living, then what does this mean for me?”

“If only witches and necromancers can wander freely, then how can I move about?”

Well, the answer to this is very, very simple.

Upon passing through the Ebon Gate into Naidem a powerful enchantment will fall upon you that disguises you from the Unliving of Naidem. Every living person that enters Naidem has this enchantment fall upon them, unless they have done the following:

1) Have a title of Witch or Necromancer. The Unliving both revere and fear these individuals, and as such they let htem wander freely.

2) Have a mask on. For some unknown reason, the Unliving are confused by masks and don’t bother with individuals that wear them.

If you do not have these titles and do not take the precaution of wearing a mask, then you will be transformed by the enchantment to hide yourself from the Unliving. What will you be transformed into?

If you are a giantman, then you will wear the visage of a formorian.

If you are an elf', then you will wear the visage of a gjenganger.

Well, you get the idea.

The enchantment only lasts while you are in Naidem.

The Newly Unliving Registry
Every new person in Evermore Hollow registers with the town hall clerk, who provides you with a Guidebook to the Unliving. This Guidebook starts you on your adventures in Naidem by giving you small tasks to complete. Each task unlocks a new chapter in your Guidebook that is designed to ease your transition into this new realm.

Completing every quest fully unlocks the Guidebook and provides the following:

  • Detailed chapters of about each area in Bittermere Woods, Ember Orchard, Evermore Hollow, Gleyminn Anni River, and Graveyard Temporalis.
  • Your book now becomes a guide to working merchants during Service Week.
  • Your book now tells you what each merchant is working on and when they started.
  • Your book now becomes a guide to all currently running raffles.
  • Your book now teleports you to the shop of a working merchant (PnC only).

Regardless of if you’ve completed the quest, each portal leading to a merchant’s workroom has been equipped with a Monster Bold display of what the merchant is working on, when they started, and how long they will be working.

Off-the Shelf Flares

Quinton Manse now has a corridor connecting the western and eastern nooks, and within this area are common flare tokens for 1,000 soul shards (fire, cold, lightning, impact, and vacuum), uncommon flare tokens for 3,000 soul shards (disintegrate, disruption, unbalance, grapple, acid, plasma, steam, water, air), and rare flare tokens for 5,000 soul shards (slash, puncture, and crush). You can take these tokens to the fuath to have the flares added to your item.

Going forward, Ebon Gate is where you will find the above-mentioned flares as an add-on service. The other flares will remain at Duskruin. To ensure those folks that wish Greater Elemental Flares at Duskruin can get a base flare on their item, we are going to add a surcharge to add that necessary flare for you. This can be further discussed on the Duskruin Channel.

Additionally, at some point tonight, the Trove will open with the following offerings and will run for 7 days.
3 magma
1 blink
1 rot
2 banshee

During service week, I will be running a merchant that will be working on removing the flares that are allowed to be removed from scripted items. This will eventually be something that the korrigan can do but we have to build the appropriate list first. That means two things:

1. The service will be slow as each script has to be researched and recorded
2. It will have the same soul shard cost that the korrigan would have charged for the property removal slip.

Lastly, to prevent an accidental sale, the gjengqnger in Gavelsdown Hall will no longer be buying back flare tokens.

Trove at Naidem

There will be two Trove sessions this year. The first runs from 10/8/2022 through 10/14/2022. They will draw at approximately 9pm EDT.

This first trove houses rare Flare Tokens which can be used at the Autoflarer. You will have to pay him to add your flare.

The Flares for this first session are:

3 Magma
1 Blink
1 Rot
2 Banshee Flares

This will be the last year of Blink Flares as the owner has future plans for them.
