Attention all Terasians (and visitors and future guests)! We're happy to announce a celebration to honor the founding of our great city by Ghorsa Borthuum, 120 years ago.

The festivities will be held the week of June 1-8, with some shops remaining open until the 9th. We will provide more details and a schedule of events the week before, but you can expect to see things like..

A hot air balloon!
The reveal of an expansion to the Stormbrow Gallery!
Food and drink native to all parts of Elanthia!
Games and merchants!
Shopping!
Announcement of the verb contest winners!
Citizens' pins and souvenirs!


This is going to be a cultural event, not a massive gear-acquiring event, but we expect it to be great fun. Meanwhile, please continue to be on your guard, as the island's seismic activities have still been occurring with more frequency than usual. Be alert! Stay alive to party with us for the anniversary!

Dear My Favoritest Liia,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my barbie-loving soul can reach... (even when you set me on fire)
~Issalya

Woooooooooooooo!

Looking forward to this already!

Also, I am officially and publicly challenging Bremerial to a drinking competition to be held at this event! Bremerial can choose the beverages to be consumed.

A powerful whirlpool is suddenly overtaken by a windy vortex!

I'm happy to see the festival officially happen!

Brem, I knew you'd reply when seeing this, ha. IM me when you have a moment.

Oh, right! And a drinking game! Remember the ones from the Highman Games? We get to do that on the Rock.

You can challenge each other for real!

Yay! Such fantastic news, I am excited! Kudos to you Bremerial for not giving up.

~Aaysia

...that moment when your family say: "Lets have a few days away.." and you realise the day they want to go is slap bang in the middle of the Kharam Dzu celebration!

o.O

Steering them away from their chosen dates with the ease of a seasoned politician! haha! Fingers crossed!

drop them. they were holding you back anyway. family seems like a giant pain.

>You got this!
>Use a little sly logic, combining the next UK banking long holiday weekend (August 28th), to better save paid time off?
> Roblar

Haha. Trying the application of logic. But I suspect bribery and moral blackmail may be more successful.

"You know how hard i've been working.. instead of a few days at the beach to enjoy this unusually fantastic weather, how about a week in Cyprus later this year?"
(The Kharam Dzu festival is going to be more costly than I thought - haha.)

"Wendy?"
{growled response}
"..uhhh i'll talk to you later.." {whispered comment} "She's on the computer..."

Keep them coming. Loads of time. Email to me rather than posting here. I'd like them to be a surprise on the day. The hope is that they can be all read out during the celebration just before the winner is announced.

One correction: can you get your entries in before 11:59pm EST on 5th June please. Then we can have the winner announced on 6th June at around 8pm, with the reading of all entries, before the appearance of dignitaries at Stormbrow Museum. Trying to work with the scheduling.

..and yes, I am one slightly over-excited dwarf! If I could find some way to give all entrants a prize, I certainly would! :D

Yes it happened. You missed all the fun. The Borthuum family did us proud!

...but actually, no idea about the new verbs. Good question. Have the new verbs been implemented and what are they? I actually don't know.

Thanks for the update :)

I promise, I haven't forgotten the verb contest. Yes, I know I sound lame asking for more patience because holidays and kids and whatnot.

But, I haven't forgotten!
