The trial of Xanthus Razele commenced Friday evening at Castle Olympus.

He is accused of many charges including murder,  kidnapping, and slavery.

People had gathered in small groups outside the Castle shortly before the trial..  the tone for the evening seemed solemn and people were seen talking in hushed voices.

As the bell tolled the hour everyone filed into the courtroom and were seated..

It was noted that Governor Thom, Emperor [PGoH] and Lady Piper, Empress [PGoH] had attended and were watching over the proceedings.

 

   As per Trinsic and Olympus law..  the accused was judged by a tribunal consisting of  

Emeritus Kodoz [PGoH],   Keeper Corrina [R+S],  and Sir Cedric [PGoH].

Much testimony was heard from Xanthus in which he claimed that,  while guilty of his crimes,  he committed them under extreme compulsion.

Testimony was heard from the accused that laid out a complicated and sometimes sordid plot by a person called Mirko, said to be from Skara Brae.

After some cross examination and testimony by the Tribunal and other esteemed citizens,   the Honored Judges retired from the chamber to discuss the case amongst themselves.

After the Tribunal returned to the courtroom, The accused had his chained loosened and was allowed to stand to hear the decision.

 

The judgement of the Tribunal was that should the tale laid out by Xanthus be sooth,  he would indeed,  be at least not wholly responsible  for the crimes committed.

  They ruled that at least for the time being, Xanthus was to be returned to his cell while a search for Mirko could be launched.

If, after a fortnight no progress has been made in the search, the Tribunal will reconvene to address the case.

Xanthus had no comment as he was led back to his cell.

VORPAL BUNNIES UNIONIZE
“We’ve had it,” said VBU spokesperson Sexy Wabbetta. “Easter is the worst time. Seems everybody wants to whack a bunny to celebrate a resurrection. Go figure.”
“But,” I implored, “You will take part in York’s ‘Skara Brae Rabbit Hunting Competition,’ won’t you, please?”
“Yes,” she grinned, her leg thumping uncontrollably, “But only because York does such … intimate … things with my ears.”

The Treasury is a new type of events to help the cities treasury funding.

In these events we ask the participants to donate all the gold we collect during the event for 1 town we choose to donate too.

We can not force anyone to do this but it would be highly appreciated.

The first event will be a trip to Blood Dungeon in Ilshenar, Where we will fight, Blood Elementals, Daemons and Balrons.

T-Maps will be collected for a future “The Treasury” Event.

All gold will be collected by MJ and be donated to the city treasury at the end of the event.

The event will last between 1 and 1,5 hour.

We leave from West Britain Bank at 20:30 CEST on Saturday the 12th of April.

I hope to see many people to help out the towns.

Thank You!

The first town is : Trinsic.

The Skaran Faire  was held Tuesday evening in beautiful Skara Brae.

Hosting the event was The Spiritwood Rangers  and Lady Ouija,  Governor of Skara Brae.

It was a cool evening in the lovely town…  the loamy smell of freshly turned earth and budding trees filled the air as guests mingled and  partook of the fine foods and drinks available.

The warm glow of the lamps lent a festive air to the gathering.

 

 

As the participants of the Seed contest submitted their entries for verification..  the archers gathered on the east side

of the Community Center where buttes had been set up.  Many of the lands most esteemed bowman were present… and much cheering was heard from the gathering of spectators as they watched the archers begin the contest.

 

The match got heated  during the first few rounds when  Lil Ernie,  Legolas, and Tobias Cardont all shot identical

scores and had to shoot a tiebreaker.

After some truly glorious shooting Legolas [UP] immerged as the victor… with Scarst [G^T] taking the runner up prize.

Truly some marvelous bowmanship on both parts!

 

After the awarding of the archery prizes by Gillian Wilkins [R+S],   the winner of the Seed Contest was announced…

Adrian Monk [LSM] took the prize with a score of 414!

 

And then…  after much eating and drinking…  the winner of the Potluck cookoff was announced..

Tserim Arryth absolutely wowed the judges with a fabulous doughnut recipe!

Tserim then scored a double by taking the Story Telling award as well.. Great Job!

 

 

After the competitions,  people mingled, drank,  and gossiped…

A notable visitor to the affair was the strange little imp that is said to be somehow involved in the Crowns search

for  the Artifacts and possibly the abduction of The King.

 

 

He recited a little poem for the gathered folk…. that went as follows:

 

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Relvinian Hath said,
To an early grave your king flew

But don’t be sad!
For he, you may recover
Bring the Artifacts of the Pentad
And a grim fate he may not suffer

Sadly, my work is incomplete
A story yet to be finished.
Uncertain is the fate you will meet.
When CHAOS will not diminish.

 

Much speculation was heard the rest of the evening as people discussed his cryptic words.

All in all it was a wonderful gathering and the next event hosted in this woodland town is eagerly anticipated!

Thank you Governor Ouija, and The Spiritwood Rangers for a wonderful evening!

‘Tis a short paper this week. Tang had surgery Monday. She is home and doing fine & I’m playing nurse. Or as she says, I’m, “Hovering like a fuss-budget.”

ESO GOES LIVE!
The Elder Scrolls Online goes live for the world tomorrow, April 4th. Many have already started with early play because they pre-purchased the game. Some played during BETA.
Why mention ESO in a UO paper? Because ESO is not in competition with UO, and it is a great break for anyone looking to play a quest or two in a different world. ESO is what Diablo 3 should have been. Awesome graphics, fun quests & great rewards.

CARNIVAL TIME!
Come to Moonglow on April 5 at 3:PM Eastern to have fun and visit with friends at a Carnival. There will be Game Booths, Contests and a Photo Booth. Come One! Come All!!

Lady Fraise and Princess Amara ~ First Ladies of the March Obits

.

March was a busy time on the Great Lakes shard with many an event and many a death. The last death of the month sent in was that of Lady Fraise. Humility is a favorite hunting spot for Lady Fraise but she can be seen all over town. Upon hearing of her Obituary entry for march Lady Fraise claimed she rarely died and it seemed as though she dies more when cameras were around( she does make a pretty corpse ). I have heard this line before mainly coming from the mouth of Night Striker. No doubt they are both doing plenty of death regardless if there is a screenshot taker about or not. The second highlighted death this month is none other than The Obituary Centerfold, the beautiful Princess Amara.
