Darkfall’s Chaos Chest #9

Darkfall’s Chaos Chest #9

As with our in game Chaos Chests you’ll never know what you get!
It’s hard to keep up with updates and interesting happenings in game and around the forums. But fret not, the community liaisons are here to help.

We will recap on a regular basis to make sure you don’t miss any important information.
Additionally we will pick a few examples of the many interesting reads around the forums. (If you think a specific thread or event is worth mentioning contact any of the liaisons. Keep in mind though that we are looking at suggestions directly on the forums, there is no need to send links about them to make a stronger point.)

Official Events
A personal message from the Community Liaison Thraiax:
We have received a fairly odd message today, from a VERY odd messenger.  We sleepily opened our doors to an insistent knocking at the wee hours of the morning, after some initial confusion we looked down and found a small, ugly, and fairly irate goblin shaman glowering up at us!
He stomped inside and proceeded, in a crude mixture of broken Common and Goblinese, to spin a wholly remarkable tale.

Kalikanzar Barnaboos, for that is his name, tells us that he, and many other Goblin shamans, or shamen, or possibly shagoblins, often hear the voice of the long dead, river goddess Eanna. Apparantly Eanna, the mother of the Chal d’Ean race (also long dead) always held a soft spot in her watery heart for the little green and purely homicidal goblin-folk.

Mr Barnaboos claims that the shade of Eanna sends a warning to all the free nations of Agon. Her dragon-son Cyriakos driven close to madness by centuries of grief and tortured dreams of his part in her death, has decreed that all the races are judged guilty for their parts, through action or indeed inaction, in the destruction of Chal d’Ea.

Kalikanzar warns that Cyriakos has been raising legions of undead over the past centuries including the militaristic Severii (lit: Severed Children in old Chal d’Ean) who are very likely the raised corpses of Chal d’Ean soldiers killed during the genocide.
He continues to state that Eanna has informed them that legions of these undead shall begin attacking the cities of Agon very soon!

After this, he stomped up to our breakfast table, grabbed a handful of scrambled egg, and walked right out muttering some very colorful epithets indeed.

Personally, we firmly believe that this Goblin is absolutely insane.  He insisted that we pass this message along so, as dutiful Liaisons we shall do so.. but we are absolutely sure that his absurd little tale has no merit whatsoever.. why would a goddess have a soft spot for these little vermin anyway?

Still.. never hurts to keep an eye out.. forewarned is forearmed as they say!

The battle for Agon

  • EU-1
    2 big events marked the last couple of weeks at EU-1 server. First, SUN took out their Manowar for the Hellstorm Waters fight, and with the help of their newbie-friendly sub-guild Sanctuary they virtually obliterated everything at their path. Also, a double siege took place, with Pandora sieging Z5’s Skaranibben hamlet with the help of Get Good, and SUN wanting to take Spear Waters off Get Good’s hands. Zagenda alliance convincingly won the siege at Skaranibben, while conflicting interests didn’t allow Get Good to defend their own hamlet at Spear Waters, therefore leaving it to SUN without a fight.
  • NA-1
    Our fellow NA-1 players have seen a very busy week, with a big war going on between Zealot and Mexico alliance. Many sieges have been dropped, including Moradar, Spear Waters, Moherah, Eronetil, and more, with people getting their good ready bags out for the big fights. Other alliances are also busy, like ICE who are now holding most of the cities at Niflheim.

We are interested in finding neutral players who would like to work with us on a weekly basis to update the community on general war happenings on both servers. You can send a pm to any of the community liaison if you are interested. Please state why you would be a good candidate to comment and update us on happenings we might miss. Thank you!
