===Quest Update===
===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.
TBD

'''Return of the Spook!'''

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 {{boldmono|CONTEST}} to begin your adventure.

'''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).

That’s not all...

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.

And for those who can't keep track of their matches, or simply have a flair for the dramatic, flame-producing rings '''which can be worn as tattoos'''. Along with another adorable new way to light cigars and pipes, or add a little heat to a kiss.

  • ...but no Digging!

New:

Search for rare Toadshade in the Gardens of Bittermere Woods for Soul Shards and a chance at a Mandrake pet.
  • Wishing Well
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.
Teaser: Discord
  • A New Quest?
Could this be the new dungeon crawl to replace the Necropolis? Found in the Graveyard Temporalis, west of Evermore Hollow, more information to be revealed!
Sylinar will be offering a variety of services, including 10% recharging of enhancive items and 10% max increase (up to 500) of max charges. Discord
The full catalog is revealed: Discord
Q&A: Discord
Additional Q&A and a standalone thread: Discord
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)
B. Constitution, Dexterity, Agility, or Discipline (any one to another)
C. Logic, Intuition, or Influence (any one to another)
D. Any Weapons Skill plus Spell Aiming, Except TWC or Multi-Opponent Combat or Combat Maneuvers, (any one to another)
E. Magic Item Use to Arcane Symbols (one to another)
F. Mana Controls - Elemental, Spiritual, Mental (one to another)
G. Any Lores (any one to another)
H. Stamina or Mana Recovery (one to the other)
I. Health Recovery to Stamina/Mana Recovery at a 2:1 ratio and vice versa
The outstanding questions for Sylinar were:

1.  Can we do Premium Enhancives?  Yes, but they will remain attuned
2.  Can we do Fusion Orbs?  Yes.
3.  Combat Manuevers fall into the same category as MoC and TWC.  They can't be swapped.
4.  Aura is being added, it will be in the Strength to Wisdom Category
5.  All Regen types can now be swapped with one another.
6.  Does this service allow you to swap Shield or Armor Use? No

Here are a few snippets of Winterbriar Orchard and its surroundings that I particularly enjoy...

First up -- Pumpkinberry!
You also see a shambling pumpkin-headed snowman.
G>l snow
A shambling pumpkin-headed snowman is comprised of two, perfectly formed, ghostly white balls of snow stacked atop one another, with a giant pumpkin where the third sphere of snow normally resides.  The pumpkin head features eyes of black coal and a disturbingly wide, crimson-painted smile, and the middle snowball is dressed in a spectre-embroidered, red silk vest.  Clutched in its widowwood arms is a battered journal labeled, "Pumpkinberry's Guide to a Natural Afterlife.

>ask snowman about anything
"Oh my," Pumpkinberry exclaims, "Such curiosity!  Did you know that ebon is a fancy word for black?  Like my lovely eyes!"
Pumpkinberry may have other answers for you, but that's what he knows about anything!
What about retiring to a lovely lake?  Icebriar Lake has you covered!

[Icebriar Lake, Lake's Edge] (8083074)
Several lake houses cluster near the snow-covered banks of Icebriar Lake, while others nestle between clusters of trees set to the other side of the cobblestone path that winds along the length of the lake.  Several snowmen loom atop large drifts of snow, many wielding weapons where stick hands would normally be found.  While most of the lake's shore is inaccessible, a single icy bank appears relatively safe, albeit guarded by a squat snowman with a claidhmore.

A snowshoe hare runs up to a squat snowman, then darts away quickly when the snowman lunges at it.
And finally, if dark and spooky woods are more your jam, Darkbriar Woods has you covered!

[Darkbriar Woods, Umbral Willow] (8083080)
The winding path through the woods ends at a giant gnarled black willow, its unnaturally dark boughs dangling wide over the clearing.  Dense briar thickets leave little room for egress except the path winding back to the east.  Rowan and birch fighting for life under the umbral willow's boughs create a few gaps in the thicket, but most look unviable as a means of escape.  Ice covers most the woods here, and deep drifts of snow pile along the path, except around a circle of bright toadstools.  You also see a thatched hut perched on a pair of mithril chicken legs.

A thatched hut perched on a pair of mithril chicken legs wanders in, clucking to itself.
  • Not to be outdone, Casil shares a glimpse of Vigil's End: Discord
Click to expand...
Casil — Today at 2:10 PM
Vigil's End provides breathtaking, relaxing scenery for your post-life/pre-afterlife journey, formed from the best memories of the military residents.
[Vigil's End, Tulip Fields] (8083105)
Wide, rotating stripes of homochromous tulips, desaturated by dim ambient light, horizontally stretch across the steeply inclined earth.  A slender, cobbled trail zigzags through the muted, efflorescent rainbow, cutting past the smattering of quaint cottages staggered along its path.  Halfway up the hillside, whimsical glaesine windchimes dangle from the rafters of a latticed pergola extending off the side of a haon-shingled bungalow.
>
You tap the virid, leaf-shaped windcatcher on a whimsical glaesine windchime, swinging the striker into the polychromatic glaes rectangles.  A musical tintinnabulation carries euphoniously across the colorful tulip fields.

But be mindful not to wander too far in, for the gorgeous veil over their trauma is thin. 

[Vigil's End, Legion Lane] (8083094)
Shadowed silhouettes of vultures roost within the knotty branches of an immense elm, a suit of lichen-encrusted armor slumped against the trunk.  Glass shards glitter in the weeds beneath the jagged-edged windows of a thatched roof bakery.  Nestled in brick and shingle rubble, a blackened boulder takes up residence within the adjacent destroyed shop.  Arrowheads and discarded weaponry sprinkle the muddied road with corroded debris.
  • Thandiwe shares a bit of detail on the inner and outer rings, as well as taking a quick peek in one of the neighborhoods: Discord
Click to expand...
Evermore Hollow has an inner ring and an outer ring.  The inner ring is more like a pentagon.
[Evermore Hollow, Inner Ring]
Crowded by the densely packed shadows of nearby arboreal giants, a maroon and iron-gabled manse dominates the corner of the avenue and is positioned so that its shutter-flanked windows can keep an eye on the various lanes that intersect at this corner of town.  Slipping beyond the manicured lawns to the east and the cramped structures to the west, a narrow pathway disappears southward, while an arching arbor hosts a plethora of painted plant life as it offers entry to a small alley  You also see a looping cobblestone bridge (open).
Obvious paths: east, northwest

Entrance to one of the neighborhoods...
[Evermore Hollow, Fate's Fire]
Buildings grow sparse as a well-trodden cobblestone pathway wends through the area on its way around a hillock covered in knee-high grasses whose entrance is blocked by a spear-topped black iron gate.  Saturated in crimson, orange, and yellow hues, the small courtyard is filled with a perpetually burning bonfire surrounded by dried-out ancient logs amid singed baskets of firewood.  Near the northeast, the faint outline of a dull green moss-covered stone arch supported by slanted buildings can be seen.  You also see a cinder-tinged moonlight white skeleton.
Obvious paths: north, south

Outer Ring 
[Evermore Hollow, Outer Circle]
Inclining slightly to the northwest as it narrows towards a bridge, the cobbled street is lined with uneven pavers to create a cramped thoroughfare.  Stores clustered together along the southern side of the road rise and fall at varying heights, their windowed faces turned to the wrought iron fence that overlooks the Gleyminn Anni River.  Perched in a row of descending dimensions, winged wrought iron serpents stretch their mouths wide to hold glowing orbs aloft.
Obvious paths: southeast, northwest
  • A brief peak at Quinton Manse: Discord
Click to expand...
[Evermore Hollow, Inner Ring]
Crowded by the densely packed shadows of nearby arboreal giants, a maroon and iron-gabled manse dominates the corner of the avenue and is positioned so that its shutter-flanked windows can keep an eye on the various lanes that intersect at this corner of town.  Slipping beyond the manicured lawns to the east and the cramped structures to the west, a narrow pathway disappears southward, while an arching arbor hosts a plethora of painted plant life as it offers entry to a small alley.  You also see a looping cobblestone bridge.
Obvious paths: east, northwest
  Look  manse  - Limned in ebon, the gables of the manse are freshly shingled and decorated with leaflet cornices.  Statuesque ravens, bone white and vacant-eyed, perch upon each corner, their lifeless mouths parted to emit tiny drainage pipes.  Maintaining a shade that is too dark to be wine and too purple to be plum, the mahogany facade is uniform in hue.
