Spring is almost here! Spring and with that? Cleaning. Sprucing up! Getting our writing and our characters and our threads all spic and span! We’ve got some new events coming up, some new challenges, and remember! We’ve got new people! As new friends come to us, they’ll need gentle help to settle in and get cozy in our writing world. Watch for some site updates as staff work behind the scenes to tinker with some more stuff and hopefully we’ll get this train chugging along smoothly. Smoothlier. Smoother. >.> Carry on.
New Additions Below are a list of all of our lovely new members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, show the love 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…

News and Updates
Wanteds Criteria for submitting Wanteds is changing and will be announced in the next broadcast. We are going to comb through existing Wanteds to ensure they match the new criteria. Our Community’s Wanteds need a fair shake and with the new criteria we’re working on, we think they’ll have a much better chance of being scooped up in future. Stay tuned!
Adopt-a-Plot For those times when you want to thread with someone but muse is running low, the new Adopt-a-Plot channel is a prompts channel for easy themes that people can then pick up and run with to enable lots of lovely writing. Feel free to add ideas of your own and if you want to use one of the prompts listed then please react with a thumbs up emoji. Staff will then delete out any plot ideas that have been claimed.
Remember that if the plot tangentially involves other characters to get their ok before you proceed.
These should be non-character specific ideas (ie not tagged for people)for threads that other members can pick up and use. Keep it simple, a couple of sentences only. We’ve pre-populated the channel with a few ideas to get us started.
People Won’t Write With Me In my questing through resource sites, I’ve come across two essays that cover this Old As Time question. Why won’t people write with me?? Don’t worry. There’s an entirely new channel that may help shed some light on that situation!
Canon-Lite Canon Lites are canons where their presence is noticeably missing but plots of their own are a little sparse. They might be fun to thrust into events and use to some sort of mischief but are not subject to the usual AC reqs. However, should you choose to take one, not only will you be apping the character as you normally would but we also expect them to be in all events they'd normally attend. We'd like them to have a presence in our world but obviously as more of a side character. This is not intended for players to advance their personal plots forward. This is to supplement threads with characters who rarely get love. Staff also reserve the right to say no to a request for a Canon Lite. -- app the character as usual -- No post monthly requirement but if you haven't used the character in two months and someone wants them, you must give them up -- They are expected to be in Events Below are the canons available for Canon Lite:

Member of the Moment: S.Darko
S.Darko has been an absolute joy to have on our server! She’s storming into Athenia with Agathe and even though she hates starters? She’s done a ton of them. Not only that, but she’s already nagged for posts! If that’s not what we love in a member, I don’t even know what is! Plus her eyeliner is always on point. Congrats, S.Darko!
Curveball Blood and Sand Date: Kawwal, 672 BC Location: Manopotapa The Colchian forces are feeling the strain in the wake of the Stone Prince’s injury. They send for reinforcements but will it be enough to stave off the might of the Pharoah’s men?
Divine Curveball Blood and Sand Date: Kawwal, 672 BC Location: Manopotapa As if in response to the change in the fortunes of her people, the Goddess of War puts in an appearance. Looks like the Olympians are sitting up and taking notice at last.

Greece
Athenia
The Best Around Date: Posidaios, 675 BC Location: The Arcus Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: From high born kings to the lowest slave gladiator. Welcome to the Games! Hosted in the infamous Athenian Arcus, men come from all over the known Grecian lands to compete in these trails of strength, speed, accuracy and skill. Individual events and timed games are happening, as well as one on one contests! Did you set out on a long term journey between kingdoms for this event? These men and women might wish to bring their partners along. With large numbers of people congregating, traders and merchants are going to want to turn up! Especially those who deal in the... lustful exploits of trade. How about gamblers? Bookies and money crunchers? Anyone who studies the human body and wants to see the way anatomy works in action. Healers for when injuries occur. And general spectators who want some good food, fine wine and an engaging day out! There is almost no single reason why everyone could not be at this event! And trust me - you might wish to be… The competitions have begun, and already it is fierce, with Mihail of Thanasi showing his prowess in archery, @lesley throwing his stone disk commendably, and @valerius tackling numerous events. Elsewhere, @daniil and @yiannis seem to be having quite the interesting conversation- did he invite her to spar? And @rene and @ophelia seem to be hitting it off.
Change in the Winds Date: Apellaios, 672 BC Location: Grand Hall Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Princess Emilia of Xanthos leads her first court event and all nobles and senators are expected to attend. It begins as court normally does, with chatter and casual conversation. @elysia nosing her way into conversations, the Antonis sisters close together, and the large Marikas family make their rounds and @rene bestows a vase for the Princess. But with a wave of her hand, Emilia silences the crowd and gives an announcement: Athenia would be entering martial law. What does that mean? And how does it affect you?
Colchis
Artemis’ Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 BC Location: Eubocris, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: A woman by the name of Lyra from the Cypress Sisterhood has run onto the scene in order to claim the body of the young woman who lays dead. @timaeus holds her back while looking to his peers, @valerius and @damocles for some sort of guidance. They wish to examine the body closer, but with so many prying eyes, and now the presence of the woman’s sister, has made things that much more difficult. What will the investigators find once they can bring calm back to the situation? What was the meaning of this senseless killing? And finally, did we just hear the name of a potential suspect?
Taengea
Give Us Sanctuary Date: Apellaios, 672 Location: Vasiliadon, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Taking advantage of a Kingdom in panic over a missing King, The Creed have once again sunk their claws into the Taengean capital. The homes of the Royal Houses have all been targeted, wine spoiled at the Condos estate, horses let loose from the Leventi lands. The severed head of a stag left in the marital bed of @gavril and @evangelina. In the Mikaelidas palati, a gruesome gift awaits the return of the new Queen. In the Dikastirio, chaos abounds. @theodora has ignored her brother in law’s order to retreat to the palace in favour of trying to reach Olympia of Leventi and @gianna and is now at risk of being trampled underfoot. @sara and @avra are in the thick of it too. Crown Prince Emilios has drawn sword ready to try and take on the black shrouded cultists who once again strike terror into the heart of Taengea.
Gold is the New Black Date: Apellaios, 673 Location: Argothia, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Argothia is poppin! Half of Greece appears to have descended upon the Kassotis province for a celebration to see in the New Year. Marital spats? Check @sera pavlos. Lover’s tiffs? Check. Elena of Marikas @silanos Attempted seductions, Mihail of Thanasi @dione @damocles’s attempted murder by @stephanos...its all going on here. Come and join the fun with Lord @diogenes and @orion as they play host to the party of the year.
New Event
Southern Wastan Event - Egypt
Pharaoh’s messengers have been running from battlefield to palace and back again with updates on the war. The nobles and people of Egypt alike have been summoned to the Southern Wastan so that Her Radiance, Queen Hatshepsut, can address them. For her comfort, a dais has been erected to raise her above the people so that she may be seen by all, beneath a shaded temporary pavilion. It is hot and the air is dust laden but this is the only real news people have had thus far. Are sons or brothers or fathers still alive? What of their Pharaoh? What of the Greek enemy? Is Egypt as unbeatable as has been supposed? ….Read More...
New Provincial Story
Thalassa Event - Colchis
In the port town of Oreboea, nobility and common folk alike gather in a festival to celebrate the bounty of the sea.
The small, sheltered lagoon is cleared of boats and set aside for swimming and enjoying some relief from the summer sun. Along the waterfront, stalls selling seafood and locally produced crafts try and lure in the visitors with their wares. A theatrical troupe is performing in the town square, a tale of how Poseidon came to meet Amphitrite. In the bay, a spearfishing contest is in progress, men competing to win the prize of an Oreboean pearl and the title of champion.
The air is sharp with salt and spirits are high in the small port town as the people of Colchis flock to this uncommonly lighthearted gathering, a relief from the burdens of war-making and everyday life….Read More...
