Ladies and Gentlemen.  I am pleased to announce that the Fourth Theran
Quiz will be held in the Travelers Rest after the second surge of the next
set.  Due to the success of the last event, we are continuing with the prize
amount of 30,000 gold pieces for first place!  We hope to see you all there
for some fun and excitement.  If you don't believe that you are smart enough
to win, don't worry.  Fast thinking will win when some of the easier
questions are asked.  All who enter in the contest may request one free
enchantment from the High Herald, Zanderic.  The entry fee is 5,000 gold
pieces.  The winner will be announced and praised throughout Thera.  Don't
miss your chance to participate! 
 
- Zanderic

In english, the quiz is on after the surge next tuesday.

Zanderic: Theran Quiz Four Winner!
Tue Jul 26 15:34:05 2005
To: All
Congratulations Etso for winning the Fourth Theran Quiz! Etso took a
heavy sack of 30,000 gold pieces home with him. The quiz turned out to be a
major success! It was so fun, that we have decided to increase the first
prize winnings to 80,000 gold pieces! Second place will take 40,000, and
third place will take 20,000. You can count that there will be a Fifth
Theran Quiz. It will be held sometime during the second surge as always.
Due to the increase in the prize the fee for the Fourth Theran Quiz will go
up to 20,000 gold pieces. So save up those gold pieces. Remmeber, all
those who enter are eligible for a free enchantment from the High Herald,
Zanderic.


Agreed about the time. But not the date. Our most attended surge is the 3pm sunday one, which is on a weekend. The friday one finishes late.

Greetings,
 
As you may know, the Heralds of thera are converting the second and third
floors of the Travelers Rest into a library for the public to view our work.
We would like to offer all Theran's the chance to design as much or as
little of the library as they wish - individual features, staff, rooms, or
even the entire library.  Interesting designs will be used. If no interest
is shown within seven days, we will proceed with our current designs.
 
How to enter:
IF you wish to describe individual features, staff  or rooms, send us a
note containing a few lines of a  description. For example -
 
Half-elf girl: This is a local girl hired from Timaran to greet all
Library visitors. She wears a permanently fixed grin on her almost annoyingly
cheerful face....etc
 
If you are ambitions and wish to design the entire library, then we require
a drawn map along with details of individual rooms. If you have any questions,
then please ask.
 
Torkalen the Observer of Low Folk.

I am building a library for the heralds in the travelers rest (where the bed rooms are now). If anyone is feeling creative, you can send me your designs in the game and I might use them. You get a cookie if I do!

PostPosted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 11:50 am    Post subject: Davairus, day of appreciation

I tend to miss most contests because of time zone in Iraq, and I do not see any heralds on so I just wanted to submit my "Ode to dark Davairus" here.

Ode to dark Davairus

When we met you was a dark knight, and my mentor on how to fight,
You said to use a magic cloak, and not to worry if I croak.
Keep potions always in my stock, be aggressive and I’ll rock.
But thoes days have come to pass, no longer together to stain the grass.
We should be swimming in pools of blood, like rivers of spontaneous flood.
Bleeding victims for their pay, and enjoying their dismay.
Where is the evil Davairus, the one who used to come and scare us.
Holding blades to the necks of men, ignoring thoes who say it a sin.
Without a worry of the light, they don’t want to start a fight.
I want to see you cause some strife; tear out some guts or use my knife.
You might say that I am sick, but who is immune to a roses prick?
I worship you as my evil god, even when I go under sod.
You gave me Darkhaven as a home, a safe place for me to roam.
Never protecting me, I am no dope; you are the one supplying the rope.
Making sure I have just enough, to hang myself out in the rough.
I still wander abandoned realms, and see you at different helms.
People say you now create, certainly got a twisted fate.
But this will not be your end, so best of luck to my old friend.

Devoted to Davairus,
Grayden Grim of the Bloody Fields of Flesh.

If you run a poetry contest every month and publish the winners in the mystique that might be interesting. I don't read the poems in the mystique because they just throw anything in. Some competition would probably spice things up.


How about posting a recap of events for people who missed it? Would be a nice theme for a forum to go alongside the announcements section.

Niubawn's All or Nothing Poker Challenge!
Hear ye, all! Do you think you are tough enough to take on an all or nothing Poker table? Well then here is your chance to win some serious gold! This game will hold twenty entries. All players will only be allowed to play with
20,000 gold coins. Also, the shirt off of your back will not count as a
suitable bet, only gold! This is a all or nothing game, so the first prize
will be 400,000 gold coins! Second place and below will receive nothing.
So if you believe you are tough enough, smart enough, and daring enough,
send a note to Niubawn with your wishes to join the roster. If you are within
the first twenty to do so, you will receive a prompt note telling you so. This
tournament will be held at the Tavern in Seringale.

There will be a Thera-wide scavenger hunt held after the Sunday surge in two weeks (August 6, 15:00 - 17:00 US Mountain Time). Participants will be divided into teams, each of which will be given a general description. They will then need to find seven items that fit the description. Points are acquired for creativity, effort, and speed of item retrieval. Once all lists have been completed, prizes will be given for each category. Entrance to the hunt will open at the beginning of the surge for a small fee. All entrants are guaranteed a quest added to their collection.

The only restriction on item gathering is those from shops (i.e. no buying or killing shopkeepers for items). That means anything in your neighbor's pocket is fair game.

Have fun fellas. Razz

I loved running quests and events, and this was my favorite character. Dan0, if you ever need an idea or something, let me know! I love stuff like this, heheh. Sorry I cannot make tonights poker tournament. Because as most of my events used to be about poker, back in the day, you know I would love to! Hope it is a fully tournament!

Greetings Therans!

Linde has been complaining about singing the same songs over and over, so
we have decided to open a contest for new content.  If you have any sense of
tune at all, put quill to paper (or find your local herald to write for you,
you illiterate artists!) and submit your poem to Herald.
 

Your poem should meet the following guidelines:

*8-24 lines
*written in the common tongue
*Original works
*Submitted before the deadline
 
Any poem deemed worthy to be sung for the general public will be given to
Linde and set to music. The poet will also recieve a prize of 15,000 gold
and the poet with the best poem of all will get a very special prize indeed!
 
 
The contest begins now and ends at the end of the month (the date of the event)
so get writing now!


This means that the date of the event is actually the deadline for the event. You'll need to submit everything by the end of the month.

SEND THEM AS A NOTE TO HERALD. At the end, I will compile them into a working book so you can see the competition, in the meantime, this is a contest and the entries should remain private between us.

Any questions can be posted on this thread, or asked of me through my typical channels. (Tells, aim, yelling really loudly while you wander the globe searching for my location.)
