A belated thank you to @Viravain and @Ianir and whoever else may have been tirelessly helping during the latest Glomdoring events. The guildhalls are amazing and couldn't have been more worth the wait, and the activity that has been kicked up with their release is fantastic.
(Thank you also a million times over for dealing with the cacophonous aftermath of requests for alterations and even more new things that have ensued. You are all incredible. )
Tonight amidst the mountaintops And endless starless night Singing how the wind was lost Before an earthly flight
We're loving your Wonderclocks!
Want your own Undying Clock of Opportunity's Finale? Or a Permanent Clock of Triumph's Abolition? Or something simpler, like a Fireplace Clock of Resounding Chimes.
Crystals are available for the rest of the month at
I'm not sure about present Isune, but I remember in an old video/thread (Was it Shit Players Say or the How Do You Say Your Name thread?) they said basically anything is viable, but I've always given it three syllables (Ee-soo-nay).
You smile softly at a wyrden lyrebird. A wyrden lyrebird flutters its wings as it lands atop your head, chirping a taunting melody while keeping an eye on you.
Thank you, @Viravain and @Ianir! This makes me so very happy to have him back.
Holding D'varsha's Crooked Wand of Domothean Stars aloft, you wave it vigorously back and forth until it glows with an incandescent light before transforming into the Wicked Wand of Creative Vibrations.
Thank you to @Czixi and @Isune (and any other amazing helpers) for such a lovely event befitting Hallifax and the Grand Aerie, with the dignified snootiness of the Master Artists as a fun bonus. We'll definitely enjoy the new addition to our guildhall: an item in the gallery that randomly changes every midnight to something beautiful and unique, painstakingly created by one of the Master Artists.
A huge thank you as well to the wonderful Aerie members who contributed to the project behind the scenes; your artistic talent, time, and effort are truly appreciated. For example, the midnight transition messages were tailored to each Master Artist's typical demeanor, and the extra care taken to personalize the messages shows.
Example of the present item:
an avian sculpture of gentle cerise pellucid ice
A gentle cerise sculpture of pellucid ice stands within a well-lit alcove, looking as if alive.
This sculpture of gentle cerise pellucid ice has been shaped in a transient image of avian
loveliness, the light placed beneath it sending a radiant glow throughout the entire sculpture. The
little egret has launched itself into flight with the support of translucent wires, each pinion
shaped with painstaking detail. A twinkle of tint-fused essence hangs suspended within the material
for each purply-black eye, its brightness bestowing a semblance of life and emotion. The meticulous
care that created the fragile bird only strengthens the work's poignancy, reminding one that it, too,
must leave the Aerie's nest the next day.
It weighs about 62 pounds.
It has the following aliases: sculpture, statue.
The transition at midnight:
Led by Shalmae Silverplume, the Steel Magnolia, an orderly procession of lucidians and trills enter
the gallery to begin the day's schedule.
Shalmae Silverplume, the Steel Magnolia's expression is distant as her eyes sweep across her
surroundings, though when she begins her work her demeanor is focused, confident, and intense. Once
finished, she sweeps off to her salon again without so much as a glance at her companions.
With the new mandala complete, an avian sculpture of gentle cerise pellucid ice is gradually removed, the ephemerality of the gallery's ever-changing nature brought to the fore. The apprentices clear
away the sand and ice and arrange fresh flowers with unhurried, practised hands.
With a last, softly-glowing glance around the gallery, the lucidians depart, leaving the pieces to
await the morning in solitude.
Example of the new item:
a subtly iridescent sand mandala of flourishing lemon and powderfruit trees
At the centre of the room lies a subtly iridescent mandala of flawless radial symmetry, the finely-sifted sands arranged in flourishing lemon and powderfruit trees.
Wrought by the infinitely skilful hands of a Master Artist, this subtly iridescent mandala is a
captivating portrayal of the short-lived nature of transitory beauty. Countless grains of sand
compose the mandala, the central sections intricately arranged in symbols reminiscent of flourishing
lemon and powderfruit trees. The meticulously laid borders echo these elaborate patterns as well as
their radial symmetry, wrought in variegated shades of stormy grey and accentuated with dusk-violet.
Nary a grain out of place, the dense nature of the finely-sifted sand prevents wayward drafts from
disturbing the aesthetics of the mandala until its intended dismantling.
I hope this doesn't sound anal or elitist (okay, let's be honest, I don't care in either case...) but I'd like to put out raves to the Godmin for correctly interpreting this deadline:
midnight on Sunday, 25th February, 2018
You would be amazed how frequently the people who put out a midnight deadline don't understand the day it actually applies to. Props.

This was almost a haiku, if the first part was a bit shorter, like 'Raves to Isune'

Ixion tells you, "// I don't think anyone else had a clue, amazing form."
But, I tend to think of our audible recorded Histories as canon for pronunciation. The lovely narrator is amazing, so it must be right!
Eh-Soon is how it sounds in the narration
And this :

Insane, and also insanity. Holy nilcakes, what a ride. Thanks everyone for the battle, friend or foe (or New Glomdoring).
I wasn't looking often, but the comeback gap was at one point over 1600.
