Things were finally feeling normal. Normal was good. Taryn Sullivan liked normal and was doing some much needed shopping. However normal could be a bit, well, boring. So she was intrigued when she saw the odd little note tacked about waist high to one of the shop doorways reading:

Come come come and have some fun fun fun!
Saturday, 7 pst – Meet at the Counselor’s Hall in West Britain

melia wiped the dust from her hands after nailing the lid back on the last chest of items in her father’s underground study. She looked around the area and shivered as a chill walked up her spine. She had come to believe over the past few weeks that the man she called “Father” was really a stranger. She’d been led on seemingly wild goose chases trying to find the origin of the Lanterns and had yet to find the 30 that her father had “liberated”, or stolen, from the gypsies.

Amelia stepped out in the cold night air and looked up into the dark, foreboding skies. It was only a few days until All Hallow’s Eve. From everything Amelia had heard, if they didn’t find a way to stop the undead by then, it would be too late. The recent invasions of undead in the towns would soon turn to a flood and, perhaps, no living creature would remain to tell the tale.

She could only hope the citizens had found some information that would turn the tide in their favor. She couldn’t bear to think of the possibilities if not. Raising her head and straightening her spine, Amelia set off to Britain. It was time to see if the citizens had better luck than she had.

Meet Amelia Cahlaway on Tuesday, October 30th at 6 p.m. PST in the Counselor’s Hall in Britain. If the undead cannot be stopped before All Hallow’s Eve, the world as we know it may cease to exist!

Tomorrow we are all a part of history! The majority of us know how old Stratics is and here are some interesting facts Stratics.

Stratics will be hosting a Livestream tomorrow at 2:00pm EST, 1:00 pm CST, 11:00 am PST and 7:00 pm BST and the thread to share their own memories.

Stratics encourages anyone interested to attend. During this live hangout, Stratics will be giving away beta keys, merchandise, and a brand new Razer Naga gaming mouse.

You won’t want to miss the festivities.  Happy 15th Anniversary Stratics!

Amelia dropped her head into her hands and muttered in frustration. How on earth could a simple donation go so wrong? And what would happen when the citizens found out just how little she’d been able to discover?

She looked once more at the parchment laying on the table and scowled as she thought, “Dad, I know you loved your collection more than you could possibly have loved your family but did you have to be so obtuse?”

Well, she guessed there was really no choice. She couldn’t avoid them forever. Maybe together they could figure out what this meant. She frowned as she thought that she just hoped one of them would be skilled in the art of decoding maps.
