HUNT FOR HISTORY!
The Turamzzyrian Academy of Elanthian History announces their first annual
historical scavenger hunt! Join hundreds of players scouring the entire
world of Elanthia for clues and puzzles, discovering unique pieces of
history along your way. Compete in teams for prizes and take home any
artifacts you find on your search. The hunt kicks off on Friday, July 28th
and continues three full days until Sunday, July 30th. Check out
the "Scavenger Hunt" link at the GemStone III website
(http://gemstone.net) for more details and signup info. Attendance is

history today!

NEW PLAYER LEXICON GAMES!
