HALL OF RENOWN
Once every so often, a player represents themselves as an
exemplary asset to the game. They may be silent, or may rise above
the crowds. However they are known, they are, and forever shall be...
The Heroes.
There are many members of the Mortal community who, every day, show total and
selfless dedication to this game, if for nothing more than to make one person,
often a stranger, happy. These people may be recognized amongst their friends,
but often go unnoticed amongst the flood of players.
To nominate someone into the Hall of Renown, draft a mudmail to Romani
including the name of the nominee and a short description of their
activities or worthiness. This information will assist the Herald
Assembly in the judging process. All entries are kept confidential.
Mudmail your nomination by midnight, July 20th 2010 to Romani.
See also: HELP HALL OF RENOWN for more information on the application process.

Catarrh invaded Feralis Headquarters and slayed Pyre as he slept. When
Feralis leaders found out about this foul attack they could not let it go
unpunished.. and punishment was Feralis' specialty. Feralis was again invaded
by Catarrh but the undead leaders of Feralis were ready and waiting. Vile
Wicked Elexius and the Necrophile Tchtukax waited in the shadows.. waiting to
bring death to Catarrh..
After dispatching Catarrh's arch mage Redora..
Your blast mauls Redora!

Tchtukax's blast mauls Redora!
Tchtukax's blast mauls Redora!
Redora is DEAD!!
Bolts of blue energy rise from the corpse, seeping into Tchtukax.
Feralis then expelled Catarrh from Feralis' Citadel by beating them back into
Grimoire. Pushed all the way into the Umbrageous Ruins Feralis took note of
their enemies. Within the ruins stood: the Ranger of Catarrh Arcari, the
resurrected arch mage Redora, and the Guardian himself Alara. Out numbered
three to two Feralis would not back down. Going in hard we killed the ever
living Redora just outside the temple! Seeing the death of Redora shook
Arcari and he fled. We then moved to the Guardian Alara. Tchtukax went in
with a fury unknown to Catarrh, pushing the Guardian Alara on his heels.

Angered even more by this, but also knowing he and Elexius who held strong
but began to lose her sight as well, was in danger. They both fled back to
their Citadel and rejoiced in their victory. Let it humble Catarrh to know
that Feralis has no equal in combat, and even against the odds of numbers,
Feralis will triumph.

Tremors shake the trees
Lately the leaves of the trees have been quivering because of more than
just the fresh summer breeze. Several Elves have commented on feeling
the ground vibrate, although no cause or reason has yet been found. These
tremors don't seem to cause any damage nor do they occur regularly. Tari
Annale would like to caution all Elves to store their belongings a little
more securely, particularly anything on shelves or of great value, until
it is clear what is causing the Island to shake so.
Nation Olympic Training Continues
Any Elf seeking to hone their ranger skills are encouraged to visit Palinor
after purchasing a bow from Cadriendir. And while visiting Cadriendir, try
some lembas - it's both long lasting and satisfying!

From the Opallinoc News Bureau:
Dateline Opallinoc - Summer Solstice Fest
"Says you!" "Oh yeah?" "Pinocchio!" and "Liar, liar pants on fire!" These are
just of few of the jeers heard at this years Summer Solstice Fest. Raucous
catcalls and roaring laughter thundered at the Great Bonfire over tales of
triumph and glory by many of the attendees. Meeka's latest batch of swill
was consumed copiously and various delicacies were devoured ravenously. The
Tribal Council was pleased with the turnout. Autumnal Equinox is coming!!
Dateline Edel - Rat Pipers
It seems the Dwarves and Gnomes of Edel were not very trusting in just who
could attempt to become a Rat-piper and rid the city of the accursed vermin.
The volunteers of the Uruk'hai that ventured to the city, in hopes of financial
rewards, were told that they were not piper material. Disappointing adventure.
Dateline Opallinoc: Uruk'hai Olympic Team Tryouts
Klaatu, your benevolent chieftain, has sworn to bring home one Gold medal from
this years Olympics. Being beaten by the Lizardmen, no less, is not sitting
well with the Tribal Council. The bragging rights and tales of glorious
victories, at the Great Bonfire, of the Uruk'hai prowess will be rewarded.
This is the chance to become immortalized in Uruk'hai lore. Those interested
should contact Klaatu for further details.

I'd like to express my gratitude to the many dwarves and gnomes who worked
so hard for the city of Edel. The cooperation of our races has always been
Edel's strength and now, by the commendable efforts of the gnomes, Hermoine
and Yulrie and many others, coupled with the labours of the dwarves Dreria
and Chumbolone and many others, Edel's rats were piped out of town, led to
the river and drowned.
I know the townsfolk are pleased and wishing to thank you all, as much as
I am. Feel free to visit the town and enjoy the streets and shops that are
now rat-free. Send me a tell, I'd love to thank each of you personally for
your excellent work, maybe over a beer.
I also invite all dwarves to come and visit the city. See how it prospers
once again, after such an economic struggle. See the new construction that
foretells a bright future for our city. I thank my people for so many years
of peace with our good neighbors the gnomes and I thank the gnomes for their
goodwill, hard work and generally dwarven sensibilities.

Our quest details are nearly finalized!
If you wish, you may speak to me at any time before that day and we will make
a character for you, this will not require you to make an actual new character
again, you will simply be playing as someone else. You will possibly have a
few advantages starting before the others, but this is not always a good thing
in Paranoia.
Anyone else, will be given characters at the start of the night, and any other
characters as needed.
Now for the important things, rewards for playing! Every player will recieve 1
million gold! That's right, for simply joining in, you get money. Larger
rewards will go to those that survive the night, those that amuse the players,
also those that just amuse me. I will warn you now, rewards will be given and
taken away rather arbitrarily, but that has always been part of the fun.
Other rewards may or may not be given out as well, you won't know unless you
play. So contact me and let's get this going!

Order has returned to Lomar, at least in part. With the invasion of the
Keep still fresh in the minds of those residents who still remain, life
is continuing. In that spirit, this reporter has spent the past few weeks
gathering useful information -- for both newcomer and long standing resident.
Blanchard, owner of our beloved Blanchard's Tavern, has fiddled with his
meatloaf recipe. As much as I've tried, I have not been able to get the
owner to spill the beans, so to speak, on this change. All I can tell you
is that the improvement is delightful -- although a bit on the spicy side.
With the new influx of people to Lomar, the forgemaster, Thomas, has found
himself in need of good, trustworthy, and talented help. Interested persons
should contact Thomas himself, and be prepared to showcase their forging
talents.
Along those same lines, Elyna is also looking for help with caring for
the sick and injured of the Keep. She is requesting that the applicants
be both sound in mind and body, as well as able to withstand the strain and
stress of battle.
As always, I will try to keep our residents up-to-date on the ever changing
goings-on of Lomar and it's people. Until next time, stay safe.

*Written in the gracefully, sloping script that is the handwriting of Thain
Kadgeon Silverblood*
My dearest Nation, how I have longed to serve you once more as
your Thain. I understand how some of you must feel, that I may not deserve
your trust or that I abandoned all of you. Do not worry, I shall work harder
than ever before to be deserving of your trust and loyalty. As one we will
rebuild our Hometown and we will not forget the Abyssal One. We will not
forget about the damage caused, or the lost lives of comrades in arms, friends,
and allies. And we will use these memories to strengthen our defenses.
We have been known for generations as peaceful, fun loving people but I say to
you that it is time for a slight change. We should not have to run and hide
behind our allies each time someone threatens us. I know we all appreciate the
help of the elves and sea elves, but why should we have to rely on help from
others *all* the time?
I will be working on some things, but in the meantime please come to
me if you have any ideas, questions, or problems please come to me.
Forever In Service To Her People,
Thain Kadgeon Silverblood
OOC Everyone don't forget the Olympics coming up!!! Also anyone interested in
RPing the Hobbit needs to send me a mudmail or just post something in HT or NV

The peace talks took a turn for a worse when the Half-ogre negotiator and

In Sports news, The Silver Cup championships concluded by a stunning victory

The new Air Ball Champions beat the Kontaur Red Devils 2-1, by a goal by

Graymantle. The Blue Stars claimed that the player used an illegal portal.
The tide turned when the Devils got a red card for using a paralyzing spell on

Well, I've still got wedding fever (and for good reason, I assure you!) So,
this month's quest is still wedding themed!
There's a poem that always comes up around wedding time:
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
So, this month you need to find something that a bride (or groom) could
wear that is:
Something Old:
Something New:
Something Borrowed:
Something Blue:
You cannot use the same wear location twice, and no using the same object
for two categories. Have fun with it! Winners will be chosen by Falennt,
or however Falennt decides!
Please send your submissions to Falennt as I will be away for the next month!
Good luck!

Page 22 \/ Last Moments by Quantos
"Even the mighty horse must eventually succumb to the bitterness of
fatal exhaustion, a slow lingering moment when his unending
strength fails him for the first and only time. The tailored
armor protecting his solitary weakness no longer deflecting
the assault of the paramour.
And so he falls, breathing in a raspy tortured breath. A
simple choice of rest, savior to his soul, but instead he
screams in defiance, a marked tribute to his missing rider.
A final attempt to awaken those that are sleeping and
return light to the world of love."
