Hello everyone! This year's Ebon Gate costume contest will be held earlier than usual - Saturday, September 30th at 9:30pm EST. Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun, or come to admire the creativity of your fellow players!

In addition, this year's costume contest takes place at a ball that will kick off our Ebon Gate storyline, so you may want to come on by!

We will be judging the following categories: Most Creative, Most Original, Funniest, Spookiest, and Best Couple.

The Rules are simple, but please be aware that failure to follow them will affect your overall score.

  1. Your costume presentation can be no longer than 5 minutes. We will be timing you, so please be aware of your pacing!
  2. You can use any number of props, bystanders (with their permission), fancy scripts, etc., but remember Rule #1.
  3. HAVE FUN!
  4. Don't forget to light your votive.

Eternal Weddings - Delayed

[Ebon Gate] Eternal Weddings

This year has been exceedingly busy and packed. Unfortunately, that means that we need to postpone an item every now and again. It is with regret that I announce that Eternal Weddings is going to be delayed.

However, we will release the Naidem Wedding Glade and will also place all previous wedding packages on sale. This includes all tiers of the Chapel, Cathedral, and Wavedancer wedding package, all verbs add slips, and annulments.

While we realize that this is a disappointment for many, we hope that you will understand that we want everything to be as clean as possible, and it would simply be impossible to guarantee that at this time.

We hope to release the Eternal Wedding package in the near future and will allow its purchase outside of Ebon Gate, though we don't have an exact date at this time.

Thank you for your understanding.
