Subject: Winter's Chill
He rolled out of bed with a groan. The bite of cold in the air was his first clue that the fire had gone out while he slept and, not for the first time, he bemoaned his life as a bachelor. Huddled over the hearth, he carefully built the fire anew, ruminating on his regrets. If only she'd returned his affections, if only independence was not her guiding principle, if only he hadn't said... that thing. He might have had Belshyve to help him stay warm at night.
Still, he needed to get paid and the unreasonable winter that had arrived in Bloodriven, with its blisteringly frigid winds, miserable amounts of snow, and bone-breaking ice patches would not deter him. He ate quickly, dressed, and stepped out the door, pulling the collar of his navy blue coat more tightly closed in a futile attempt to keep out the bitter wind. The snow crunched underfoot, and the thought crossed his mind that the extraordinary chill of winter this year might not be an entirely natural occurrence. He shrugged at the idea. It didn't matter, he had work to do. Adjusting the shiny gold badge pinned to his lapel carefully, he set to preparing the arena approach for the onslaught of adventurers soon to be arriving.
OOC Note: Winter is coming to Duskruin! Look for new winter-themed wares, some spruced-up rooms, and the creatures in the arena might look a little icier than usual.

Subject: Tucked Away at the River's Edge
Deciding to stay for a much longer time to learn all that they can from the town of Bloodriven, the Kraet have created a small encampment on the river’s edge. Surrounded by mostly shrub-brush, brambles, and grass, the small clearing houses a large bonfire and benches for gathering during the cold Bloodriven nights, as well as offering a variety of comfort foods to share. Branching off from the main clearing, there are several shops in this area brought to you by the Kraet.
Be sure to visit and enjoy the atmosphere!

>touch box
You reach out and touch a mosaic-edged lacewood box on a low round table.
>l box
Surrounded by incredibly tiny blue and white ceramic tiles along the edges, the face of the roughly tambourine-sized and shaped box is fashioned from thin panels of brightly lacquered lacewood. Cobalt blue runes connect three small round holes that form a triangle with a larger hole in the center. Each circular space houses a whalebone disc that can easily spin on a steel axle. One smooth edge of the box is painted sky blue and houses a coin slot.
The three smaller discs appear blank, as does the larger disc in the center.
>analyze box
You take a closer look at a bone-inlaid mahogany box. You analyze the mahogany box and sense that the creator has provided the following information: The Chance Box is a portable gambling game for silvers. To play, put the box on the floor to establish ownership and deposit silvers into the "House Bank," which can hold between 400 and 2 billion silvers. Others may then bet and spin the discs for a chance to win. While on the floor, the box will remain safe for about 15 minutes after gaming ends. Only the owner may pick it up, and doing so clears ownership. The House Bank must be empty first. READ the box for gameplay and payout information. GAMEPLAY ACTIONS PLACE Put on the floor to begin play. DROP [# COINS] COINS ON BOX Deposit silvers into the House Bank. DROP NOTE ON BOX Deposit a bank note into the House Bank. GATHER Withdraw the House Bank's holdings. GLANCE View disc symbols and bank information. RUB Reset all discs to blank. TAP BOX WITH [# COINS] Place a bet and spin the discs. The box may have its base/long description altered and must remain constructed of wood, which will always show as lacquered. The show description cannot be changed, but the elements listed below may be customized by any willing merchant.

Subject: Duskruin Teaser - Beyond Barriers
No matter the world, it always had fools.
Within moments of his arrival, the giants came. They towered over him like ancient trees, some even gnarled and bent like the blood oaks of the Deadfall itself. Their faces were grotesque at best, huge foreheads, large noses, small brains. Their weapons were crafted out of the very rock beneath his feet. Undoubtedly, he would feed that very earth with their corpses, letting the ground drink of their blood.
The first giant howled, then shouted a few commands that sounded like he was grinding sand between his teeth. The harrower was no stranger to their kind, but the sound of them speaking would never stop irritating him. He narrowed his marigold eyes and motioned with two fingers, daring the enemy to engage.
The behemoths charged, quickly crossing the distance, and roared into battle. The dark elf raised one hand as ribbons of ethereal bluish-green light burned into existence, swirling around his hand rapidly before forming into a deep black rune-etched sword. Soon coils of the same light burst out of the surroundings and twisted about his form, spinning chaotically until they shaped into some deep black leathers.
The lights did not slow the giants’ approach and the first two swung wide, bringing great stone hammers down towards the harrower. Several archaic sigils flashed along the dark elf’s armor and gnarled ethereal vines erupted form his body, lashing out at the two giants like glowing coils. Streams of yellow-white and purple-black energy ripped through the monster’s bodies, disintegrating their flesh, and burrowing through their bodies. He easily stepped aside as their lifeless, fragmented corpses fell with a thud.
The other giants began to circle him, each one more cautious now than before. But Ersix Severus showed them no mercy. He sliced through the air with his blade, the very sky darkening like a bruise before ripping open into a wide gash. A torrent of misty shadows spilled out of the hazy fissure, enveloping the head of two giants in a nebulous sphere of shadows. They bellowed in response, clawing at the darkness around their faces. He swung again, further serrating the skies as a curtain of powerful winds broke through the rifts, colliding with the blinded giants and slamming them to the ground.
Another giant rushed in, screaming with rage. The dark elf spun fluidly and with one word his blade crackled like shifting ice and the metal faded to a frosty opaque hue. Barbs of black ice burst out of the air, sinking into the monster’s flesh like venomous fangs. The creature’s legs froze, encapsulated in ice and stopping his charge. The harrower swung fast with his blade, tearing a deep gash into the giant’s stomach. As the metal bit flesh, it sparked with power and curls of bluish-green light struck the giant, then another stream of bluish-grey light, then two more powerful blasts of energy and the giant fell face to the dirt.
A frothing trio of giants pressed in, caution to the wind, all senses lost to the blood lust running through their veins. Ersix danced between them, dodging their heavy strikes, slipping away just mere seconds before their weapons hit. A rune flashed along his armor and the dark elf’s body began to blink in and out of existence as he continued his whirling, while the sky above bled to a citrine glow. The giants persisted, their stone hammers passing through the dark elf as he moved between worlds.
He tired of the game. The cat no longer wished to toy with the mice. The harrower’s body solidified for just a moment before it collapsed into a swirl of ethereal mist, where it swirled away before the dark elf reformed behind one of the giants. His blades tore across the giant’s legs, sending him lumbering to the side before another clean strike cut through its thick neck and sent its lumpy head rolling away.
The remaining two giants stood, spending the last few seconds of their life debating between fighting or fleeing. Ersix Severus the Harrower finally smiled and touched a rune upon his armor. Ethereal slits breached the air around him as humid winds stirred forth. From out of the planar fissures came dozens of razor-sharp verlok feathers, ripping into the world and launching towards the giants. The deadly volley tore into the monsters, flaying their flesh as they tried to scramble away, one falling right after the next in a bloody onslaught.
The harrower’s armor melted off his form like heated wax, quickly dissipating into the air as he stepped over the corpses, one by one, continuing his journey beyond barriers.
I’m happy to announce a new shop coming to Duskruin in February! It is called Beyond Barriers and it will sell the all-new Valence Weapons and Valence Armor! Each will have several abilities (only some of them showcased in the teaser above). There will also be some set abilities when using both as well! I will release more details as we get closer to the event! I would like to give a giant-sized shoutout to GM Mestys who without his coding ninja abilities could not have made these happen!
Go forth and conquer…worlds.

Subject: Duskruin - Valence Gear - Beyond Barriers
As promised weeks ago, here is the full reveal of Valence Gear, newly introduced for the Feb run and exclusive to Duskruin!
Harrower Ersix of the Extrachthonic Cartographer’s Guild has harnessed his magical studies and dimensional powers into creating valence gear, in the form of blades and armor. You will find a vast assortment of bladed weapons and armor at the new shop, Beyond Barriers, at Duskruin in Feb! Why settle for just one valence? Grab a little slice of all worlds!
The weapons and armor are all 5x. There will be several one-handed and two-handed bladed weapons available, and almost every armor type. Valence gear may be freely altered or lightened by any merchant.
The blades have the default ability to fire off Disintegration flares, up to 4 times per strike based on tier level. The first strike is standard flare chance, with a 20% chance to fire a 2nd time at Tier 2, a 15% chance to fire a 3rd time at Tier 3, and a 10% chance to fire a 4th time at Tier 4.
The armor’s first ability, “Lash of Lorae’tyr” throws out new reactive “temporal” flares that cause disintegration damage plus adds Roundtime to the target (slowing them down.)
Below you’ll find every tier verb and ability and a quick breakdown of what they do. There are also 2 set bonus abilities detailed further below as well.

>look Thandiwe
Haunting winter grey eyes gaze with a disturbing vacancy from Thandiwe's eerie visage, which morphs between expressions of abject horror and fractured sanity from one moment to the next. His waif-like limbs float in a current of frosty air that spirals around him, transforming his appearance between states of flickering, semi-translucency to near blinding white and icy solidity. A mane of coppery red hair frames his gaunt head, the scraggly tendrils falling away from his gaunt face in erratic lengths.
The Legendary Cloak this time around is a frosty gossamer shroud. For the finer details, of which there are some, you can view it in the Trove. However, if you have the Snow Spectre Bloodrune in your Moonshard Pendant, then this is what you can expect when wearing the shroud.

You allow your eyes to drift closed briefly, a sense of calm settling over you.
Thandiwe closes his winter grey eyes briefly, transforming his visage from one tinged with horrific insanity to divine serenity. The moment of peacefulness is lost the moment he opens his eyes.
chuckle my shroud
You chuckle slightly, amazed at the timber of your own voice, and briefly dissolve into maniacal laughter.
A chuckle bubbles out of the haunted visage of Thandiwe, transforming the look of abject horror etched across his face into an expression of guileless insanity. The chuckle expands into a laughter of unbridled mania.
