News from EM Aurora!

If you are interested in participating in the Siege Historical Homes and Towns Society, please meet Cora at the Reward Hall in Malas this Thursday, February 7th at 4pm EDT.

This will be the first of many meetings so if you cannot make it this week there will be more opportunities in the near future, at least once a week for the time being.

The Historical Society will discuss ways to record towns that are unique to Siege from a historical standpoint. There are many areas too that while not considered towns, have been established as an important part of the community.

There are also homes that have been awarded a Historical plaque for being a long term (currently 10+ yrs) part of Siege. Not everyone may want to opt in to have their personal home cataloged and this will be factored in with record keeping at the Reward Hall.

I hope this is a great start to sharing our history with new and returning players as they find themselves on Siege with us. Last edited by EM Aurora, Today at 6:56 PM

Town of Gargouille Shallows Township Banner Constructed, Yew Area Felucca
February 25th 2011 Written By: Chie  Images: Merik/Gareth

The town name was named after this creature Gargouille to remind use were we come from. It is also claimed that the word “gargoyale” is derived from the name of this monster. The word shallows was used for being a small part of the Gargoyale race stretching from Ter Mur. So we call the town Gargouille Shallows.

Being from the Royal City of Ter Mur and living a refugee’s life was not good. Many of us were packed into the camps with really no place to call home. We knew it was time to leave and search for a home. The trail would be hard but in the end a place to call home would be worth the struggles. We started out as a small group of lost Gargoyles befriending a few Humans and Elves on the way. Passing through many regions we found a long abandoned town Duir of Yew. Started to make are home there we found out why it was abandoned so long ago. There are many groups of evil factions which take pleasure in raiding and killing all who stand in their way. It is our home now and we will not leave for any reason. We have traveled long and endured many obstacles to find a place we called home. Now is the time to stand together and fight for our new home.
