'did i accidentally send you guys a picture of some steak with no context?' - Aly
Hey there guys and gals and welcome to the return of the Weekly Broadcast on a Monday! From this point moving forwards, I will be in my school-job and all that jazz on Tuesdays so that will give me good encouragement for getting these out in good time on Monday evenings so I don't have to do them after a long day running around and mopping up after 5 year olds (yay!).
As you may have seen on our Discord server, we have some new and wonderful additions to the site so far and we've got more to come in the future I'm sure with the Olympics now underway and a brand new summer event that is slated for the end of the summer holidays - so we're talking August-ish. Keep an eye out for that! In the meantime, check out our awesome new events, the TONNES of awards that have been happening this week, the new updates on the server AND the launch of the Olympics, God Apps and goodness knows what else. Have fun everyone! <3
New Additions Below are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all...

The Gods Have Arrived... Ladies and gents, it's the first of its kind! We are opening our doors to applications for an Egyptian God... That's right, you heard it here first! Think you want a coyote head or a large headdress of jewels? Do you want to claw and growl your way into battle or fall upon your devoteds like a cooling cloth of dusky nightfall? If you're interested in playing the role of an Egyptian God and can claim to have over 100 posts on Aeipathy to your name (between all your characters - not just with one) then you are more than welcome to submit an app with the following code. God apps close on the 29th June 2020.
[b]Favourite Myth:[/b] Give an example of a particular myth or fact about your God that you think epitomises them and your interpretation of them. We recommend reading a few different myths, getting a good idea of the God and then talking about your favourite one - why you think it's a good impression of them as a God/character and why you like it. This is your chance to tell us why you like this particular God as they are laid out in myth and history.
[b]Personality:[/b] This is the section in which you can tell us [i]your[/i] interpretation of how [i]you[/i] would play this God. The above is your favourite myth and how you see the God in their real-world/mythological context. We now want to know how you would then take that idea and grow it in your own way. What is their personality like? How are they as a person rather than just a stereotype or archetype of the God.
[b]Mortal World:[/b] Tell us how your God views the Mortal World and why they like to interact with it. Your God might be more hands on with regards to humans, or deliberately less so - different Gods like different levels of interaction with mortals. Detail how much influence your God likes to expel over the mortals and why that level of interaction. What is their opinion on humans? How do they like to mess with them/help them?
[b]Relationships:[/b] Give three Gods that your own God would have some form of relationship with. This could be Gods that have already been accepted and are a part of our world, or Gods in the open list. Explain the relationship between them, why you think the relationship is that way and how this reflects on your own God. We want to know that you will be able to rp successfully in the immortal realm as well as the mortal.
[b]Mortal Personas:[/b] Suggest two mortal persona ideas. You will not be held to making these - we just want to know your thoughts and ideas on how this God might be able to ingratiate themselves into the mortal world without someone noticing. Mention things like, what the character might be like, how they could influence the mortals, why the God would want to influence them in this manner and how you think they would be able to do it without people noticing them to be a God.
[b]Future Plans:[/b] Tell us how you think this God could help to develop long-term plots and mess with the mortal world on a longer/future term basis.
[b]Face Claim:[/b] Your face claim choice should be someone almost entirely unknown. We recommend models over actors. Our Gods should be able to appear just as the Gods - not recognisable as a character from a form of media. The model already provided in our Gods page can be used if you prefer, or you can choose your own face claim. If you've chosen your own, please list them here.
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Paradox As much as we might want it to, our real lives don't always allow us to have the fun we like on roleplay sites all the time. Instead, they can be horrible interruptions to our fantasy world. Paradox, however, hasn't let that stop her! Getting back onboard, and starting to get posts out, being active in the Discord and being the friend we know and love again! Sometimes in RP, it's not about whether you are here all day every day; it's how you come back from an absence that matters <3 You're our member of the moment Paradox! Welcome back!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Greece
Information on Grecian Events and Provincial Stories will be in next week's broadcast!
Bedoa
Heated Flesh The tribes of the Bedoan deserts have been chased to the Port of the West to avoid a sandstorm, but close quarters has bred ill health. A fever ravages the people of the tribes and the Zaire's best healers worry for their prophet @mwenye. How else has been struck down by such heated plague and who will stand to aid those who suffer? The leierin @tanishe works hard to ensure the health of her people. Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans.
Crime and Punishment The Zaire gesin is forced to lose the strong hands of several of its young warriors as they were caught stealing from store houses on Egyptian land. The militants of the Pharaoh now take into their own control the punishments that need to be rendered... Location: Eastern Dunes, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans and Egyptians.
Surf and Turf A few months after the incident in Border Trade, the Zaire find themselves in the Port of the West. Here they are confronted with the Buuchu tribe who seem to have very fixed ideas on territory and the Leier's second wife @neena has gotten herself on the wrong side of it! Now with the fight simmering down the question remains - just what is the second wife of Leier doing, behaving like that? Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire and Buuchu Tribes.
Pure Survival Set four years ago... after days of journeying without water the Zaire tribe have come to find their last stop on the way to a large oasis to have dried up. Without enough water for the whole tribe, morale is low and faces turn to Leier @hasani for his verdict on whether the Gesin should be split, with a faster force headed to the water up ahead or if there are other options to keep at least the majority of his tribe alive... Now he says that he will be the last to drink what little water they have, and seeks advice from the previous Leierin Lindiwe... Location: Southern Lands, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire Tribe.
Egypt
Hold On A sandstorm has come to Egypt and the people of the city must hold on and take cover if they are to protect themselves from high winds and dangerous debris! Akhenaten H'Sheifa, @sutekh, @calliope and @callidora seek refuge in a tavern. Whilst a dangerous situation to be in, it sure does bring together people from all walks of life... Location: Northern Wastan, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome!
Drown Their Efforts Grecian soldiers, including @krysto and @isaiah swim to burn the ships of the Egyptians, under the command of the Taengean king @achilleas. But will they manage to set all of the vessels aflame before they are discovered? Location: Manopatopa, Egypt Attendance: Grecian and Egyptian soldiers.
The Might of the Gods As the Sheifa family collects in the temples to pay homage to the Gods in order to protect their Egyptian brothers in arms in the North, @deshra - a new arrival that is connected in some way to the Abaddi house and @rubiah turn up to cause a stir. Let us hope that @osiria does not catch someone pretending to be her relative...? Location: Temple of Osiris, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome!
Feminine Wiles The ladies of the Egyptian lands unite over gossip and mojitos! Just how outspoken can the ladies become when the men are away at war? Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: Female Nobility.
The Child-Like Empress It is the coronation of Queen Hatshepsut H'Naddar! Set ten years ago, here the people of Egypt come to welcome and praise their new Queen is is to be officially crowned by a High Priest of Ra. And yet the man seems to be hard to find...? Location: Grand Temple, Egypt. Attendance: All Welcome!
A Thousand Threads Only a year ago, the markets of Egypt were filled with fabric and textiles! But also chaos! The Bedoan runaway @neena has already fallen into and collapsed a stall prompting the attention of the Lady Chione H'Isazari, and on the other side of the market place the Queen herself has made a subtle appearance with a man some might identify as Lord @osorsen. At this time, the Queen is still unmarried... perhaps she has chosen her suitor? Location: The Grand Souk, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome!
Bring Me That Horizon In classical tradition of the Egyptian new year, the people of Cairo and Thebes have spilled out onto the riverbank to witness the setting of the sun in one year and the rising of the sun in the next. The night in between is traditionally filled with drink, smoke, fine foods and fine sex. Yet not all are having fun as games escalate and an ornery young man is knocked out cold! What will her royal highness Queen Hatshepsut H'Naddar think? Location: Southern Nile, Egypt. Attendance: All Welcome!
See How They Shine In the house of Hei Sheifa, just a few months from now, when Onuphrious and @iaheru's family was still in one piece, the greatest jewels of the kingdom were on display in their home. And yet now the gathering is attacked by masked thieves! In an ambush that has sent the party into chaos, @neithotep and Akhenaten H'Sheifa attempt to escape out through an alcove into the hallway as others in the group are robbed blind, but will they be caught? Location: Saraaya H'Sheifa, Egypt. Attendance: All Egyptian Nobility and Guests/Servants.
Judea
Take Up Arms As the Grecian forces leave the Judean city of Israel in order to camp just outside of its walls, the militants that have caused such difficulty in the last few months can now stretch their legs, check their equipment and set up the tents they will need to travel the desert and respond to a call to arms should one be issued. And yet many Judeans cannot resist taking a little wander around the encampment - for it is still their land... Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
Thunder in the Distance Awwal brings about the month of Jerusalem's headship of the Council and the leaders of the Six Cities culminate to give their reports. Many are disgruntled over the present of a particular Egyptian @zoser but also of clear signs of an upcoming war. @simeon has made the suggestion to the Council that no wounded are to be treated by the Judeans in any upcoming conflict and given the Azari's history with war and plague, it is likely to be a popular notion... Location: Jerusalem, Judea. Attendance: Judean Council of Elders.
May Your Future Be Bright The Judeans of all of the Six Cities culminate in their religious capitol of Jerusalem to celebrate Shabbat. Some and join in with the new year celebrations as @amiti, @thaddeus, @gwyneth and @hazael partake in the prayers and @hypatia offers free lulav in celebration of the day... Location: Jerusalem, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
The Way Is Shut The Israeli Hebrews (and those that have journeyed to aid them) build defences, pack up the possessions of the Greeks and ensure that their tenants for the last ten years will be removed and unwelcome to their lands after the war with Egypt. Is this an easy way to avoid a long and drawn out quarrel? Or a quick way to have violence brought down upon them on the Grecian soldiers' return? Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
White Lands, Red Hands Set over 10 years ago, the Grecians have only recently ended the last conflict with Egypt and now set up their new home within the walls of Israel. The people of Judea are not going to be best pleased with their new guests... Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
Predator Set a few years ago in the city of Ammun, home to traders from far away lands, there is a new spectacle to behold - that of a large cat of orange and black stripes and topaz eyes that glint with the roars from its belly. Just who is brave enough to approach? Location: Ammun, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
New Events
Up In Smoke Event - Athenia
The lands of Aetaea are usually lush and green. But the summer has been dry and hot and the leaves and brush of the plant life are thin and crisp. So, when Lord Rafail of Marikas arrives in order to see justice done and a runaway Queen apprehended, it is easy enough for a simple flame; an accidental spark, a deliberate flash - to spark along the grasslands and move its way towards the lands of the Argyris estate. Yet, the men that come with torches burning bright cannot simply burn and leave. This time, there will be no excuse for a lack of body to prove the death of Queen Persephone... Read More...
The Greatest Show On Earth Event - Egypt
Round up! Round up! Come one, come all! Witness the spectacle that holds all of Egypt on tenterhooks. Gasp as the acrobats fly high above your head or cower at the power of a lion's roar. Within the big top there is much to see and much to gape upon. But what really gives you the thrills of excitement are the dark and intricate looks; the swirling colour; the bizarrities of nature and the sizzling eroticism of the exotic...Read More...

New Events
Up In Smoke Event - Athenia
The lands of Aetaea are usually lush and green. But the summer has been dry and hot and the leaves and brush of the plant life are thin and crisp. So, when Lord Rafail of Marikas arrives in order to see justice done and a runaway Queen apprehended, it is easy enough for a simple flame; an accidental spark, a deliberate flash - to spark along the grasslands and move its way towards the lands of the Argyris estate. Yet, the men that come with torches burning bright cannot simply burn and leave. This time, there will be no excuse for a lack of body to prove the death of Queen Persephone... Read More...
The Greatest Show On Earth Event - Egypt
Round up! Round up! Come one, come all! Witness the spectacle that holds all of Egypt on tenterhooks. Gasp as the acrobats fly high above your head or cower at the power of a lion's roar. Within the big top there is much to see and much to gape upon. But what really gives you the thrills of excitement are the dark and intricate looks; the swirling colour; the bizarrities of nature and the sizzling eroticism of the exotic...Read More...
The Weekly Broadcast Monday 15th June 2020
'did i accidentally send you guys a picture of some steak with no context?' - Aly
Hey there guys and gals and welcome to the return of the Weekly Broadcast on a Monday! From this point moving forwards, I will be in my school-job and all that jazz on Tuesdays so that will give me good encouragement for getting these out in good time on Monday evenings so I don't have to do them after a long day running around and mopping up after 5 year olds (yay!).
As you may have seen on our Discord server, we have some new and wonderful additions to the site so far and we've got more to come in the future I'm sure with the Olympics now underway and a brand new summer event that is slated for the end of the summer holidays - so we're talking August-ish. Keep an eye out for that! In the meantime, check out our awesome new events, the TONNES of awards that have been happening this week, the new updates on the server AND the launch of the Olympics, God Apps and goodness knows what else. Have fun everyone! <3
New Additions Below are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all...

New Challenge! All About Eve-ryone! Given that we have a million and one things going on at the moment and plots going left right and centre, the challenge this week is a fairly simple one! Write yourself a little Author Intro for your profiles! The only rule is that it has to be between 200 and 500 words! Just write it out, copy and paste it into ALL of your character accounts (so many sure it works for all of them) and then give a shout out in the #member-challenge channel with a link to each of your accounts to prove that it's there for all to see on each one! Have fun y'all!

The Gods Have Arrived... Ladies and gents, it's the first of its kind! We are opening our doors to applications for an Egyptian God... That's right, you heard it here first! Think you want a coyote head or a large headdress of jewels? Do you want to claw and growl your way into battle or fall upon your devoteds like a cooling cloth of dusky nightfall? If you're interested in playing the role of an Egyptian God and can claim to have over 100 posts on Aeipathy to your name (between all your characters - not just with one) then you are more than welcome to submit an app with the following code. God apps close on the 29th June 2020.
[b]Favourite Myth:[/b] Give an example of a particular myth or fact about your God that you think epitomises them and your interpretation of them. We recommend reading a few different myths, getting a good idea of the God and then talking about your favourite one - why you think it's a good impression of them as a God/character and why you like it. This is your chance to tell us why you like this particular God as they are laid out in myth and history.
[b]Personality:[/b] This is the section in which you can tell us [i]your[/i] interpretation of how [i]you[/i] would play this God. The above is your favourite myth and how you see the God in their real-world/mythological context. We now want to know how you would then take that idea and grow it in your own way. What is their personality like? How are they as a person rather than just a stereotype or archetype of the God.
[b]Mortal World:[/b] Tell us how your God views the Mortal World and why they like to interact with it. Your God might be more hands on with regards to humans, or deliberately less so - different Gods like different levels of interaction with mortals. Detail how much influence your God likes to expel over the mortals and why that level of interaction. What is their opinion on humans? How do they like to mess with them/help them?
[b]Relationships:[/b] Give three Gods that your own God would have some form of relationship with. This could be Gods that have already been accepted and are a part of our world, or Gods in the open list. Explain the relationship between them, why you think the relationship is that way and how this reflects on your own God. We want to know that you will be able to rp successfully in the immortal realm as well as the mortal.
[b]Mortal Personas:[/b] Suggest two mortal persona ideas. You will not be held to making these - we just want to know your thoughts and ideas on how this God might be able to ingratiate themselves into the mortal world without someone noticing. Mention things like, what the character might be like, how they could influence the mortals, why the God would want to influence them in this manner and how you think they would be able to do it without people noticing them to be a God.
[b]Future Plans:[/b] Tell us how you think this God could help to develop long-term plots and mess with the mortal world on a longer/future term basis.
[b]Face Claim:[/b] Your face claim choice should be someone almost entirely unknown. We recommend models over actors. Our Gods should be able to appear just as the Gods - not recognisable as a character from a form of media. The model already provided in our Gods page can be used if you prefer, or you can choose your own face claim. If you've chosen your own, please list them here.
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Paradox As much as we might want it to, our real lives don't always allow us to have the fun we like on roleplay sites all the time. Instead, they can be horrible interruptions to our fantasy world. Paradox, however, hasn't let that stop her! Getting back onboard, and starting to get posts out, being active in the Discord and being the friend we know and love again! Sometimes in RP, it's not about whether you are here all day every day; it's how you come back from an absence that matters <3 You're our member of the moment Paradox! Welcome back!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Greece
Information on Grecian Events and Provincial Stories will be in next week's broadcast!
Bedoa
Heated Flesh The tribes of the Bedoan deserts have been chased to the Port of the West to avoid a sandstorm, but close quarters has bred ill health. A fever ravages the people of the tribes and the Zaire's best healers worry for their prophet @mwenye. How else has been struck down by such heated plague and who will stand to aid those who suffer? The leierin @tanishe works hard to ensure the health of her people. Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans.
Crime and Punishment The Zaire gesin is forced to lose the strong hands of several of its young warriors as they were caught stealing from store houses on Egyptian land. The militants of the Pharaoh now take into their own control the punishments that need to be rendered... Location: Eastern Dunes, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans and Egyptians.
Surf and Turf A few months after the incident in Border Trade, the Zaire find themselves in the Port of the West. Here they are confronted with the Buuchu tribe who seem to have very fixed ideas on territory and the Leier's second wife @neena has gotten herself on the wrong side of it! Now with the fight simmering down the question remains - just what is the second wife of Leier doing, behaving like that? Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire and Buuchu Tribes.
Pure Survival Set four years ago... after days of journeying without water the Zaire tribe have come to find their last stop on the way to a large oasis to have dried up. Without enough water for the whole tribe, morale is low and faces turn to Leier @hasani for his verdict on whether the Gesin should be split, with a faster force headed to the water up ahead or if there are other options to keep at least the majority of his tribe alive... Now he says that he will be the last to drink what little water they have, and seeks advice from the previous Leierin Lindiwe... Location: Southern Lands, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire Tribe.
Egypt
Hold On A sandstorm has come to Egypt and the people of the city must hold on and take cover if they are to protect themselves from high winds and dangerous debris! Akhenaten H'Sheifa, @sutekh, @calliope and @callidora seek refuge in a tavern. Whilst a dangerous situation to be in, it sure does bring together people from all walks of life... Location: Northern Wastan, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome!
Drown Their Efforts Grecian soldiers, including @krysto and @isaiah swim to burn the ships of the Egyptians, under the command of the Taengean king @achilleas. But will they manage to set all of the vessels aflame before they are discovered? Location: Manopatopa, Egypt Attendance: Grecian and Egyptian soldiers.
The Might of the Gods As the Sheifa family collects in the temples to pay homage to the Gods in order to protect their Egyptian brothers in arms in the North, @deshra - a new arrival that is connected in some way to the Abaddi house and @rubiah turn up to cause a stir. Let us hope that @osiria does not catch someone pretending to be her relative...? Location: Temple of Osiris, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome!
Feminine Wiles The ladies of the Egyptian lands unite over gossip and mojitos! Just how outspoken can the ladies become when the men are away at war? Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: Female Nobility.
The Child-Like Empress It is the coronation of Queen Hatshepsut H'Naddar! Set ten years ago, here the people of Egypt come to welcome and praise their new Queen is is to be officially crowned by a High Priest of Ra. And yet the man seems to be hard to find...? Location: Grand Temple, Egypt. Attendance: All Welcome!
A Thousand Threads Only a year ago, the markets of Egypt were filled with fabric and textiles! But also chaos! The Bedoan runaway @neena has already fallen into and collapsed a stall prompting the attention of the Lady Chione H'Isazari, and on the other side of the market place the Queen herself has made a subtle appearance with a man some might identify as Lord @osorsen. At this time, the Queen is still unmarried... perhaps she has chosen her suitor? Location: The Grand Souk, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome!
Bring Me That Horizon In classical tradition of the Egyptian new year, the people of Cairo and Thebes have spilled out onto the riverbank to witness the setting of the sun in one year and the rising of the sun in the next. The night in between is traditionally filled with drink, smoke, fine foods and fine sex. Yet not all are having fun as games escalate and an ornery young man is knocked out cold! What will her royal highness Queen Hatshepsut H'Naddar think? Location: Southern Nile, Egypt. Attendance: All Welcome!
See How They Shine In the house of Hei Sheifa, just a few months from now, when Onuphrious and @iaheru's family was still in one piece, the greatest jewels of the kingdom were on display in their home. And yet now the gathering is attacked by masked thieves! In an ambush that has sent the party into chaos, @neithotep and Akhenaten H'Sheifa attempt to escape out through an alcove into the hallway as others in the group are robbed blind, but will they be caught? Location: Saraaya H'Sheifa, Egypt. Attendance: All Egyptian Nobility and Guests/Servants.
Judea
Take Up Arms As the Grecian forces leave the Judean city of Israel in order to camp just outside of its walls, the militants that have caused such difficulty in the last few months can now stretch their legs, check their equipment and set up the tents they will need to travel the desert and respond to a call to arms should one be issued. And yet many Judeans cannot resist taking a little wander around the encampment - for it is still their land... Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
Thunder in the Distance Awwal brings about the month of Jerusalem's headship of the Council and the leaders of the Six Cities culminate to give their reports. Many are disgruntled over the present of a particular Egyptian @zoser but also of clear signs of an upcoming war. @simeon has made the suggestion to the Council that no wounded are to be treated by the Judeans in any upcoming conflict and given the Azari's history with war and plague, it is likely to be a popular notion... Location: Jerusalem, Judea. Attendance: Judean Council of Elders.
May Your Future Be Bright The Judeans of all of the Six Cities culminate in their religious capitol of Jerusalem to celebrate Shabbat. Some and join in with the new year celebrations as @amiti, @thaddeus, @gwyneth and @hazael partake in the prayers and @hypatia offers free lulav in celebration of the day... Location: Jerusalem, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
The Way Is Shut The Israeli Hebrews (and those that have journeyed to aid them) build defences, pack up the possessions of the Greeks and ensure that their tenants for the last ten years will be removed and unwelcome to their lands after the war with Egypt. Is this an easy way to avoid a long and drawn out quarrel? Or a quick way to have violence brought down upon them on the Grecian soldiers' return? Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
White Lands, Red Hands Set over 10 years ago, the Grecians have only recently ended the last conflict with Egypt and now set up their new home within the walls of Israel. The people of Judea are not going to be best pleased with their new guests... Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
Predator Set a few years ago in the city of Ammun, home to traders from far away lands, there is a new spectacle to behold - that of a large cat of orange and black stripes and topaz eyes that glint with the roars from its belly. Just who is brave enough to approach? Location: Ammun, Judea Attendance: All Welcome!
