     The end of the current election period has brought to Britannia the newly courted Governors of the lands held under the rule of the crown. His majesty hosted the council in thier chambers this past week to convene on the status of the cities as well as any upcoming plans in the works. Those in attendance were incumbents Lady Phoenix of Trinsc, Lord Vic II of Minoc, Lord Tehan of Yew, Lord Gareth of New Magencia and Lady Lauren of Moonglow. Newly elected offcials joining the council were Lady Tina of Skara Brae, Lord Murdock of Britain,  and Scabby of Jhelom. Vesper’s Lady Ivy was not present.

    The King would call upon each as cities discussed thier plans for various improvements and goals set forth for the upcoming months. Notable remarks were made as several cities still await construction of offices for elected officials.  Pleas for additional manpower for desired projects were duely noted by his majesty.  Peace reigns across the lands as no reports of violence were said to have taken place in recent weeks.  It didn’t take long as civility would soon be tested as Governor Phoenix ended her report with complaints of excrement ruining her boots from the nights pet parade earlier in the city limits exclaiming the Governor of Britian would soon recieve the invoice for thier replacement. The events host Niva the Savage in attendance, angrily exited the session while screaming she would Not stand for such insult! That was only the appetizer for the nights fireworks to come.

    Pitmuck Islands leader Ozog Giantfart, whom we were informed has been appointed the city of Jhelom’s “Deputy Mayor” began to lose control of his tongue ranting in his indigenious dialect towards the King and in henderance to the nights proceedings. After being warned on several occasions the King would quickly reach his patiences limit with the Goblin.  Guards were called as the King lashed out to the Goblin threatening him and his people as Giantfart was drug from the halls of Castle Blackthorn.  Barely regaining his demeanor from this the King would soon turn his attention to Vic II from Minoc as he requested to relenquish his remaining time to a citizen of his represented lands. This citizen affiliated with a group known as “Minoc First” would be granted the floor to which she would stand in silence. Angering the King,  he reminded those who would seek succession or faulter in the will of the Crown would be suffer the consequences as he saw fit wether it was Minoc, Pitmuck Island or any land other than Nu’jelm and Buccaneers Den, the only lands not under the rule of the crown.  With that the King ended the nights ongoings.

    No word as of yet out of Pitmuck to the expulsion of it’s leader. What is this “Minoc First” group about?  More to know on these interesting happenings among the lands.  Keep your eyes peeled!

   With Christmas upon us,  we are all resting easy as jolly old Santa recieved the aid of availble adventurers to save the Christmas magic this week.  The call from the King himself rang out as word spread that a treacherous duo of elves had stolen the holiday magic in the hopes to dash  Santas annual run.

     The brazen elf DimDum appeared in the throne room and proclaimed we had all been bad and no gifts would reach our trees this year! His majesty quickly ordered us to ride at all costs to reclaim the magic baubles. A long and winding maze was soon to follow, only by solving the riddles were adventurers able to track the slippery pair to the ice isles of the north pole. There atop the peaks and cliffs a plateau was located with a protected pile of gifts lay as our goal. Huge orcish snow beasts began to descend from thier perch with thier sights set on us…..

    Thunderous battle ensued as flashes of might and magic lit the night sky as the elves plans began to unravel. The snow creatures were soon fallen as the pair DimDum and DumDim were bested by the combined efforts of the nights heroes.  The Christmas holiday saved,  combatants garned a commemorative sash to mark the nights victory and rumors of magic jewels recovered in the snow are abound. Well done Chesapeake.

Greetings!

Christmas Give & Take and a Little UO Hanukkah

.

Last week I posted a few screenshots of merchants in Luna dressed for the season and gave a call out for more decorated plots. The first to reply was that very active man about town Olive Isbane. I was whisked to his very impressive Felucca crib. The anticipation was high for holiday cheer and to my surprise it was a celebration of Hanukkah. Olive created a menorah celebrating his very own tower/festival of light. This week starts the first day of Hanukkah so the timing was perfect. It was a nice reminder that there are UO players of all faiths.

My next stop was that of the over the top Christmas scream created by Deborah II. I have hunted in the past with Deborah and she is always helpful and charming. Who knew she had an addiction to Christmas items and has such talent. Her place is not just about her own personal pleasure but it has the true meaning of giving. All of the gift boxes and Christmas stockings on each floor are open to all. Take a gift and leave a gift if you can. This set up is always helpful for new players. The cords to this location are,  42o  17’N 40o 51E  Hopefully marked runes will be dropped around Luna in the days to come before Christmas.
