Rumor Woods 2022 Teasers

Announcement 1

Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to release Wedding Packages at Rumor Woods. You can expect the Wavedancer Verbs to be available in this package. If you have any questions or concerns, please use the WEDDING channel on Discord or Rumor Woods Folder on the Forums (until the forums disappear).

Announcement 2

Join us on the 10th of Lumnea for the Annual Grand Tournament at Rumor Woods.

Take part in the exciting Pixie Hunt as you quest for the elusive and mischievous pixie in hopes of being one of the lucky few to obtain the rare morning glory! This enameled marvel allows you to summon a beautiful dragonfly pet! Rumor has it there are berries, mushrooms, and flowers to be obtained in this garden maze.

Looking for something more cunning? Why not try to outfox the foxes of Rumor Woods by taking part in the Fox Hunt for a chance at being rewarded a rare bugle that can summon your very own pet fox!

Customizations abound in the collegiac halls of Summit Academy! Where you can find Spell Prep Customizations, Swears, Log on/off Messaging, Signature Verbs, and Feature options in its illustrious halls. This will be the final year for many of these offerings as a refresh is slated for 2023.

The tourney grounds will be covered in tents as merchants once again offer their wares to those guests that come to the Tournament. Caravans have been arriving for weeks and spreading out along a narrow track between the main grounds and Cysaelotar. Rumor has it that two cultural groups will be joining this year’s merchants.

Let us not forget the Joust! Ride either your own mount or one of ours into a test of courage and determination as we race for a winner in the...

Battle of the Unicorn and Dragon!

Borne of Fire, Dreams, and Wastes

Chill wind swept through the tower through the office window, riffling papers and disturbing the pennants that hung from the walls and rafters. Siethidi looked up from a map he had redrawn half a dozen times and rocked gently back on his chair so that he could peer out the sun-dappled frame.

Immediately he rose to his feet and craned his body out the window at what he saw...

Far below, a Tehir caravan was parting from the treeline to the southwest, the exotic, legendary ill-tempered yierkas with their proud riders forming an honor guard around them. Each desert strider was bundled against the arctic winds, their gradient blue identifiers flapping in the breeze.

Watching the procession, Siethidi suddenly wondered if he’d provided enough heat baskets for them along the caravan track.

A call on the horizon drew his eyes to the southeast where another procession crested the alpine plains. Dusky and ebon-skinned warriors also swaddled against the cold creating a different kind of march. Monstrous beasts provided riders transport, their sinuous tales whipping this way and that as they moved across the rocky grasslands.

Siethidi felt a thrill of excitement. The Dhe’nar had accepted his invitation as well.

As he turned to call out to one of his scribes, the shimmer of silver and gold forced his eyes back to where the last of the Tehir were slipping down the trail to the tourney grounds. "Majestic beyond reason," Siethidi though as he exhaled quietly. Ronan had graced them with a gift, he thought to himself and rushed from the tower.
