Featured Article The Veil between Naidem and Elanthia Grows Thin... The leaves turn brittle upon the bough, and with the autumn wind comes that familiar, shivering whisper. The boundary separating our waking world from the distant twilight of Naidem wears thin once more, calling wanderers, seekers, and dreamers to walk the winding cobblestones of Evermore Hollow alongside the Unliving. Heed the summons, for the threshold opens soon, and the season's revels await all who dare step through. Join us once again as the Ebon Gate swings wide, welcoming travelers to the mist-shrouded streets of Evermore Hollow. Enjoy a month-long celebration filled with games of chance, wondrous merchant wares, eerie spectacles, and enduring mysteries. The festival opens Friday, October 9th at 9:00 PM Eastern and concludes Tuesday, November 3rd at 11:59 PM Eastern. Contributing Style Guide Please read the Style Guide if you wish to contribute.
