A big congratulations to our favorite big green monkey Goonie for being the first in our FC to acquire his Animus Weapon! If you are not aware, this is a task that requires countless hours of tireless camping for FATEs (unless you are Goonie and then it takes about 15 minutes...), accumulation of over TEN thousand Tomes of Mythology, and the completion of tons of specific, often rare requirements. In the end an epic journey culminating in the glowy, sparkly, Vorpal Lightsaber Axe of Whup%&#ery! We salute you my friend... and then possibly suggest a vacation... or some therapy... or both. :)

Good afternoon Sanctumites and Sanctumtites! You’ll notice that I’m creating today’s news post, and there’s a very good reason for that. No, Shade isn’t going on an amazing archaeological trip only to discover (and promptly have a life-threatening adventure centered around) a cavern of still living dinosaurs – I have been given the amazing honor of being a new scribe!

Some of you savvy people on the forums may have already noticed this, but this has (mostly) nothing to do with the fact that I may have taken too long to find the perfect outfit for the avatar I wanted you all to recognize me by, and everything to do with what that avatar is about!

As you can see, I’m wearing a rather lovely chef outfit, because I’m cooking up some serious plans behind the scenes for all of you to enjoy. I may have spilled the beans to some of you already, but I hope you all will look forward to the treats I have in store for you!

Alright, alright, enough with the cooking puns. I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible, and everyone who finds me entertaining enough to keep coming back for more. Here’s to many more times gathered around the news stand – I’ll see you all there!

And no company has shown more heart than our amazing family when it came to scrimping, saving, and working their butts off to raise enough money to acquire our Free Company house. Well guess what? WE DID IT! /manderville dance

And it is just as incredible and we had hoped. A lavish three story stone estate nested atop the scenic Mist Ward in Lower La Noscea. Just check out the view!










In attendance for this momentous occasion were myself, Kaedra, Bareil, Mlody, Belle, Bender, Amherst, Kyssandra, and Elyas.

Words cannot express how proud I am of each and every one of our members for all the hard work they did. This stands as just one more testament to the incredible nature of our community members. I thank you all for each day I get to spend with you and for all the wonderful memories you have shared. This one definitely holds a spot at the top of the list. Congratulations!
