Day four opened at the Bagball Arena as three teams gathered for the tournament.  Three facets were represented with Tokuno, Trammel and Malas.  From the first face off the ball swiftly made its way into the back of the goal, repeatedly, with little resistance.  The star of the show was without a question Resesar Wej as he  powered his Tokuno team to the gold medal.  Chrissy Parks and Elena joined him forcing Malas and Trammel to settle for silver and bronze.

Britain hosted the single elimination darts tournament.  Elena took home another gold medal on her way to setting a new world record.  Seledor made it close and was happy to win silver with Emma accepting the bronze.  The medal race is heating up with plenty of events scheduled.  Events will continue at 9pm EST tomorrow.

Malas continues to strengthen their lead in the overall medal count with yet another gold in the Regatta.  Very simple rules, first to cross the finish line wins.  It was a tight race until a clumsy fisher halted the leaders ultimately changing the outcome.  The McNuge brothers took gold while Lady Damia and her TMC mates hung on for the silver.  Wong Way Ya of Fel finished off the podium with a bronze.  Thanks for everyone who competed.

A swarm of mages gathered in Umbra for the second event of the night.. Mage Poker!  Mages casted as they attempted to summon the correct hand of animals.  In the final round, Venekor was quickest with the spell book and took the gold.  Silver went to Lady Courvoisier and Jedediah McNuge was third with bronze.  Malas stacked on more medals to their overall count and continue to lead while it looks like Ter Mur won their first medal as Venekor sported a purple robe on the podium.  10 more events left with 30 medals up for grabs, plenty of time to represent your Facet and bring home a medal.  9pm tomorrow events will continue.

Ter Mer —

I managed to stumble upon both EM Miko and EM Helios last night and it seems that they have some big plans for Legends in the coming weeks.  Rumours have been swirling about a Legends Olympics the past several weeks and I have confirmed that a multi-day shard wide event will be upon us shortly.  It will last multiple days and host several events so everyone should get an opportunity to participate.  Bagball was the only event EM Helios leaked but rest assure there will be plenty more.  Check the fair grounds just outside the southern Luna wall to see a new tent Mesanna dropped off for the events.  Keep an eye on the town criers for a dates and times of the event.

The summer is dwindling down and you all know what that means, it’s Mythical Sea Dragon season!  The Sea Dragons have been cooped up for several months now and some strange activity has begun to spawn around them.  A new adventure lies ahead and this time the script will be much different and ultimately written by those players who take action.  So be prepared as EM Miko has been known to strike unexpectedly.  Farewell and safe travels…..

EM Miko treated Legends to two long drunken days of events as the first ever Jhelom Festivals launched last weekend.  Kegs of ale and liquor showered the crowd and competitors all day long as the events unfolded.  Strange how mass consumption seemed to aid some of the players in their victories in several epic events including: Battle of the Blurred Minds Telekinesis, Trashed Moongate Race and Loaded Lanterns.  Eventually the kegs ran dry and the festival came to a close but not before many players flaunted their skills and claimed championships to each of the respected events.  EM Miko left a token from each event on display at the Game Center located in NE Jhelom.  Perhaps next year we will celebrate again and players will have a chance to show their talents but until then here are some pics from the fun we had this year.

The Gargoyle city of Ver Lor Reg sacked!  Exodus minions wreaking havoc throughout the lands of Sosoria with reports of their presence going far beyond the Exodus Dungeon to places such as Luna.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!  The brave Knight Dupre stepped forward and in a Call To Arms asked any and all brave souls to join him as he confronts this terror.  And in spectacular fashion warriors and healers from all ends of Sosoria answered Dupre’s call

 The march to Exodus wasn’t long before an Army of Exodus monsters crashed the party.  Dragons and Warriors to the front, Healers to the back!!  With a slow and steady push countless Exodus creatures fell as Dupre’s legion was determined to reach the dungeon.

Failure is not an option!  As the desert sands swirled amidst the battle the passage to Exodus grew closer with every sword swing.  They are no match for us, these machines that threaten our lands.  Now the battle has come to your front door!  Dupre’s legion swarmed the temple and soon entered the depths of Exodus.

“To the west”, cried Dupre as he urged his followers to sweep across the dungeon.  The Exodus army had all but been destroyed when Dupre began to reveal a hidden passage leading below the dungeon.

The darkness of the underground was not met with machines, it was met with walls.?!?  So down came the walls and with each successful breach another wall stood.  The walls were slowly smashed to the ground one by one and soon an intricate system of passages was revealed.  With no more machines and no more walls to knock down victory seemed imminent, well until……

……….he showed up.  I’d call him a boss of sorts, a boss who left anyone in his path flattened!  As panic engulfed Dupre’s unit the Exodus boss picked off victims as it marched through the passage ways.  With healers comes new life and the ones who fall shall rise again.  And without a doubt the determination of Dupre and his followers proved stronger then the life of the Exodus boss.  Victory!  For now the Exodus machines are silent but their powers still gloom leaving the honor moongate crippled as evidence.

Attention!  Any and all able bodied beings no matter your color, creed or race are being called to arms in a shard wide effort on June 23rd starting at 9pm.  Sharpen your swords, strengthen your potions and prepare for the unknown as speculations and rumors swirl throughout the Legends community over what the cause for the call to arms may be.

There have been several current events that may or may not be connected to this call to arms including the emergence of Lord Dupre.  Dupre is a highly respected, decorated knight who has been in seclusion for some time.  His recent emergence in multiple battles defending virtuous cities on Legends has raised a few question.  Where did he go and why has he returned now?

Other current events include the troubles of the Gargoyles starting with the sacking of Val Lor Reg by the Exodus Minions and also the quarantine of infected souls outside Ter Mur.

Several other problems and events loom as well.  The rioters continue to litter the cities as citizens still remain unhappy.  Reports are that Castle Blackthorn has been demolished on the Trammel facet while Castle Britain has sealed its gates.  Insiders have also reported that a gate on the Felucca facet found at the entrance to Castle Blackthorn will lead you inside the walls of Castle Britain in Trammel.  Very curious.

It’s possible that all these situations may come to a front while not ruling out the idea that something new has arisen causing this call to arms.  In any matter please prepare yourself for the events which will be upon us shortly.

Some current events took place last night (6/22) in relation to the call to arms.

In a courageous effort a small group of warriors, crafters and healers set up a new camp outside the deserts in Central Illshenar.  Led by Lord Dupre the group fought back a large wave of exodus machines clearing a small area near Ver Lor Reg.  The camp will be used as a supply line tonight during the ‘call to arms’.

A shocking report from the shores of Vesper have locals on edge as a mob of mutant creatures invaded the city and surrounding area.  At least four different mutant creatures were encountered including a mutant water elemental, a mutant sea serpent, a mutant kraken and several mutant frogs.

 Early reports from Armondo Pascal had the mutants on the move toward vesper just a night before but unable to follow due to injury Armondo retreated to the comfort of healers.  Despite the pain from his earlier encounter Armondo led a group to investigate the matter more thoroughly and as he suspected the mutant creatures had occupied nearly every island that makes up Vesper.  The group led by Armondo took action and after a lengthy struggle the mutants were eradicated from the city.

When the dust from the battle had settled Armondo was nowhere to be found.  However, a Vesper town official by the name of Dupre had witnessed the effort to free the city and desperately thanked the group for their efforts.  Dupre pleaded with the group to continue their efforts in hopes of finding a possible source of the mutants.  As search parties combed the surroundings of Vesper a rather shocking discovery was made.  Though there is no evidence of a direct connection between the discovery and the mutant creatures its a more then plausible explanation to assume the Mythical Sea Dragons may have had a role with the mutations.  Watch your local town criers for more information regarding the ongoing investigation.
