Three weeks! Three weeks had gone by, and still no news!

But even before that, Orphie had seemed... different. Lost in her thoughts, not leaving her office.
She had allowed in only rare visitors, including a couple of unknown homins.
And when, at last, she had got out, that had been to ask for something to be readied for her to depart to the kitin's lair of Almati Wood. Alone.

Apocamus had stormed, shouted, argued, cajoled, trying by force and kindness to convince her not to undertake such a journey alone. But she had had the last word and appointed Melga Folgore to replace her during her absence, which, she had assured, would not last more than two weeks.
And three weeks had gone by.

[h2]Nation announcement[/h2]
It was becoming difficult to move around in the Nexus scientists' Kami camp crowded with crates and jars full of raw materials and necklaces.

Daeronn Cegrips stared at his interlocutor, whose impatience was palpable.
"Yes, I know! The crates are full! But everything is organized!"

Freccio Tinagno made one of those disapproving pouting so typically matis, but added nothing.
"A first convoy will leave for the Desert. I came to an agreement with the Nations' leaders to have some warriors protect it from the fauna. Everything will go well. Arrived in the Desert, we will make a first distribution of these raw materials. Now that we have studied them, we can give them to homins."
- And you think the warriors will come for free? But you are dreaming, Ser Cegrips!
- But no, once the convoy arrives at its destination, O'Keerrell Rinie will first distribute raw materials to these intrepid homins."

Daeronn Cegrips smiled broadly: "Don't pout any more and come and help me prepare these materials! The packers of Rinie must be ready. The warriors will join her at the Western Portal on Prima, Thermis 1, 1er CA 2612 (*). Let's not dawdle!"


[h2]Marauder announcement[/h2]

Aristarcus Sanio deliciously filled her lungs with the dry and dusty air of the Hidden Spring camp. She never thought she would miss it, and yet she did.
She was happy to have been able to take the pretext of delivering this message in person to recharge her batteries in these arid lands.
Now she was going to be able to face the bad mood of Chei Pui-Yan.

"... and you think the convoy will be guarded?
- To protect it from the wildlife of course, Chei. But the hypothesis of a homine attack was not considered during the meetings of the scientists.
- And they are going to the Desert, you said..."
Aristarcus nodded proudly, while Chei was immersed in an intense reflection. There was nothing like developing a battle plan to put him in a good mood. He would soon forget that the cowards of the Nations had finished compiling all the raw materials of the Nexus long before the marauders.

Marund,
A convoy of scientists from the Nations will depart on Prima, Thermis 1, 1er CA 2612(*) from the Nexus towards the Desert carrying Raw Materials from the Nexus.
This is a great opportunity to get these materials that the Nations will have collected for us.
I will be waiting for you at the south Zinuakeen in Windy gate to assist you in this harvest which I hope will be more productive than the previous one.

Type of event: PvE fight.
Appropriate levels: All. The lower levels may need to join a team.

Expected duration: About two hours.
Meeting place: Min-Cho Stables.

Homins concerned: Zorai Initiates and Awakened, friends of the Theocracy.
Synopsis: At Mabreka's request, Len Fai-Cu brings Initiates and friends of the theocracy to lower the ambitions of the Black Circle tribe.

To learn more:

Len Fai-Cu was listening carefully to the recommendations of the Great Mask. Of course, he was indeed the one who had found this camp and this machine, but to be chosen, he, a former member of the Masters of the Goo, to lead this expedition, was an honor he had never imagined he would receive. He intended to carry out his mission to a happy end.
Sap would be proud.
"... don't forget that the goal is the destruction of this device. We tolerate the Black Circle and its studies, but Ba'Wity Codgan has obviously crossed the bounds of this tolerance. I'm counting on you. Here are the posters to put up everywhere."

Initiates and friends of the theocracy,
Meet Len Fai-Cu at the Min-Cho stables on Quinteth, Mystia 11, 4th AC 2611 (*).
The Black Circle must realize that certain doings are not tolerable.

Mabreka Cho

Lordoy, Deles Silam, Oren Pyr, Kami `Ata,
It is time for a new Schwarzmarkt! (Black Market)


The so-called Schwarzmarkt was originally created as an opportunity to trade from homin to homin without paying a fee to the official merchants at their stalls and without filling the treasury of governments with taxes. Of course, we don't support criminal activities and since the laws of trade became more liberal since that time, it is not illegal anymore, but we want to keep the name and the atmosphere of it. The original idea came from the guild Rebellen von Loria who also organized the first sixteen Schwarzmarkts. Later this tradition was continued by The Free Soul.
At the Schwarzmarkt homins – in general the crafters themselves – offer goods to be sold by public sale. Bids are only allowed in dappers. The highest bidder gets the item in exchange for the dappers directly at the location of the Schwarzmarkt.

The Schwarzmarkt is located in a cave in the Darkmoor (at the dead end of Windermeer). There will be a trek form Fairhaven to the location fifteen minutes before the market starts. The offers will be called according to their quality starting with goods of q100 ending with q250. Bids have to be done in around. The auction will last about three hours.

Generally, all tradable items can be sold. These are:

• equipment (weapons, armor, jewels, tools)
  
• items from outposts (materials, flowers, xp-booster)
  
• special items (yubo-plushies, candy canes, items from the wheel of fortune, NPC crafting crystals,…)
  
• profession items
  

All items must have their full hp. In exceptional cases, lower durability has to be announced before the auction. Raw materials generally are disclosed.


If you want to offer something at the Schwarzmarkt send an ingame mail (shift+W) to Varo. This mail minimally should contain the following important information:

• vendor (if not the sender of the mail)
  
• (full) name of the item (land, layout (hq, mq, lq))
  
• quality (q250, q220,…)
  
• durability
  
• important data/values? (dodge, parry, damage, speed, resistance,…)
  
• desired starting bid
  

We will have a critical look at these items and tell the vendor if they will be offered at the Schwarzmarkt. Items with lower values may be disclosed. We will also have a look if the items fit the rest of the offers. Our goal is to have many different items in different qualities so that both the “small” refugee with his small purse and the veteran of many years and dapper millionaire can find something.
Sometimes it has been possible to offer items spontaneously. If you choose this way, you have to be aware that your item maybe could not be considered – registered items have a higher priority.


Target date of the 25th Schwarzmarkt is:
Sunday, January 3rd 2021, 20:00 UTC, 21 CET

This would offer you enough time to collect dappers and/or to craft beautiful and useful items.
