Announce Post #3287: Memorial to Tristanna
We have set up a memorial to Tristanna in the Hall of Memories that can be found on the topmost level of the Transcendental Fulcrux (within Avechna's Peak). You can leave a message or a gift there if you interact with the monument, and you can also listen to the messages left by others.
In Tristanna's own words,
"Something always remains."

Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING
Spirit Warden Xenthos An'Ryshe, the Ebon Strategist says, "To be fair, gnomes are not known for doing things logically. They get sidetracked and mess up whatever they are working on."
Iarlaithe says, "I forgot I was supposed to vote. I was too busy trying to figure out who to block."
Spirit Warden Xenthos An'Ryshe, the Ebon Strategist says, "So that was, really, exactly how such a scenario would play out."

(Serenwilde): Galaphyrae says, "I somehow managed to make one in the likeness of
Adasser."
(Serenwilde): Adasser, Wolverine's Mask says, "Really? Why me??"
You follow Fair Galaphyrae west to overgrown ruins.
Snow has been piled up high here, the path clear to pass under the watchful aegis of a fierce snowman resembling Adasser, Wolverine's Mask. Resplendent light rays reflecting and refracting from thousands of brilliant facets, a delicate gem golem glimmers here.(Serenwilde): Galaphyrae says, "It is not in effigy, trust."
(Serenwilde): You say, "I think the likeness quite remarkable."
The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.
(Serenwilde): Adasser, Wolverine's Mask says, "I feel like I'm being teased. Am
I being teased?"
(Serenwilde): Caedir Aormeah says, "You are ever so teaseable, Adasser! Haha."

Re: Announce Post #3286: The Winter is Here
Common:
a snow cheuped
a snow squirrel
a centaur colt holding Cotuhe's Arrow (or a flower)
a henge stone of snow carved with wodesigns
a snow opossum perching on a branch
a snow peacock with icy claws extended (from Ethereal rather than Maylean order beast)
phases and manifestations on Mother Moon's aetherbubble (multiple)
a beaming Tore Niskanen with two fingers to her forehead
Failure:
a dual-headed snow amphista; gravity befalling your ambitious struggle to manifest something sinuous and incorporeal out of an ever-changing medium.
Ilmdria Farirue and Poet Toledil; the daunting task of capturing the spirit of these soultwins leading to a most muddled shape.
the Sibylline Seed; its intricacies beyond your ken without fae-wine on your tongue.
Epic:
Chieftain Nintoba rearing up with gleaming spear in hand

Announce Post #3286: The Winter is Here
Magnagorans will recognise this particular snow from some of their past winter balls and other snow-related shenanigans, but it is new for all the other organisations. You can find actual snow in outdoor rooms of your organisations if the environment makes sense for it to be there (urban and forest generally). You can shovel it, jump into it, and most importantly make snowmen!
The snowmen come in three variations: failures, epics, and common. Failures happen when you try to create something you cannot possibly reproduce for any reason. Epics are more difficult snowmen, usually of powerful or historic beings of the given organisation, or simply something rather complex. Common ones are, as the name suggests, common peronas or creatures of that organisation. Why are we explaining this? Because if you like, you can make suggestions for shapes to add on the forums (where this post will get automatically syndicated)! Divine and their priests and related creatures are the only shapes off the table. Suggest shapes for failures, epics, or commons and we'll take a look once in a while and see what we can add.
The weather has been set to be colder across the entire Basin but not so much as to make travel too difficult. It's just what cold enough for snow to exist.
Hope you enjoy!
Ps. Player pets/dwellers are also off the table, sorry!

a doe in the snow
Shimmering a soft white, a doe stands here in a swirl of glistening snow.
A doe in the snow stands here in a swirl of ice crystals, her gentle eyes gazing about the forest.
Her hide a luminescent white, this doe stands with a gentle bearing, taking in her surroundings in quiet patience. A soft, liquid brown, her eyes glimmer with snowflakes that dance about her eyelashes, while a pair of oval, velvety ears turn this way and that, attentive to the sounds of the forest. An ever present breeze dances about the doe, whistling and rustling, covering her here and there in swirls of ice crystals and patches of hush snow, white against alabaster, so that it is difficult to tell at times where the fur ends and the snow covering begins. Her legs, strong and slender, step gracefully upon a snowdrift that fans out from her location, her hooves making deep imprints shaped like pairs of half moons.
a snowball marked by a hoofprint
Gleaming with ice crystals, a snowball rests here, marked by a single hoofprint.
About the size of a large apple, this snowball has been tightly packed, made mostly of pure white snow crystals, some of which still bear their crystalline snowflake shapes. The snowball is roughly round, here and there pine needles resting just below the surface or stick out through the snow, giving the sphere a sap-like scent over the fresh smell of frozen water. Pressed deep into the cold and blind white, a single hoofprint marks where a doe had stepped, its form bearing the shape of paired half moons.
