Jynx will be missed!

Also! To those in Avanthal, if you have an idea you would enjoy incorporating in Avanthal, please contact either Valkyrie or myself. Ideas are what help customize and shape a city. Again, if you have an idea or just want to help, contact Valkyrie or myself. We would enjoy working with you on these!

Hello friends of Avanthal!

It is very important to me to have the moderated threads ready to go so that we can focus our Nano energy on them! In order to facilitate this, I have decided to cut out the last three WiSPers and just post the signups. If this decision has caused you to be unable to meet the requirements for a particular moderated thread please PM me and feel free to sign up for that thread anyways. I don’t want anyone to feel left out on account of my decision. If my decision to cut the last three WiSPers frustrates please talk to me about it and perhaps we can come to some sort of compromise. So, please head on over to the thread signups and pick out something fun! Signups will run until Sunday and threads will begin shortly thereafter.

I would also like to say that the WiSPer system will not be used again in Winter. I’ve been thinking about this a long time and I really think it’s the best decision. I may use the WiSPer system again in the future if I find a way to iron out the problems I noticed with it. The WiSPer Information page will remain stickied until I decide otherwise. Thanks everyone for all of your patience and understanding in trying out this new system! I like to try different ways of doing things and I hope everyone remains just as open to new things in the future. If there was something in particular about the WiSPer system that you particularly enjoyed, please let me know here or via PM so I can think of ways of incorporating the fun elements in future seasons.

Hi everyone! I hope NaNo is going well for all of you. You know, if your PC is feeling particularly tense with city events or you just want to write a lovely time, why not have them unwind at the Makutsi Springs? I mean really, who doesn't love hot springs. And you never know, you might find something interesting in one of the pools! Or you could always try out the maze at the Smoldering Embrace and see what you find at the end of the path. There are lots of beautiful locations in Avanthal, if you are running out of thread ideas try bringing your PC to one you haven't been to before and see what happens! You could even have your PC attempt to milk a Talderan Woolie! But watch out for nesting Sliver Wraith's in your room. Both of these unique and fun creatures can be found in the Bestiary.

Hello again snowy residents!

I know I sure get burnt out in brainstorming ideas for my PC to thread about sometimes, particularly now with NaNo going on. So, I've put together some thread prompts that you can claim by going to the Quest/Moderated Thread Signups. Please note that these are not the same as regular moderated threads. Once you claim a prompt I will post an intro and leave the rest to you to do whatever you like within the regular rules and guidelines of Mizahar. I hope you find something fun to involve your PC in that you may not have tried before!

Thanks for all the great ideas Valk! I am super excited for all the threads and to see how people deal with the prompts!

by **Valkyrie** on November 12th, 2012, 1:45 pm

I'm excited too! And thanks for giving me the initial idea, it was a really good one!

Hi Avanthalians!

As you are aware, the season is coming to a close soon enough and job threads are soon to be due. Lixue needs one more work thread for her second occupation, as a medical instructor. If you are interested in learning something medical, contact me! I'm open to group threads or one on one. Please note: Threads will match the level of which you are medically.

Thanks!

Hello Citizens of Avanthal!

Fall ends on November 30th and then the next season begins. Winter is right around the corner, literally. To receive your income for the season, you will need to turn in two work threads. This is a perfect time to work with other PCs to create interesting work threads and plots!

Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that I merged the Quest/Moderated Thread Signup thread and the Moderation/Grading Request thread because things were getting a little cluttered. Please go to the Moderation/Grading Request thread for any future sign up purposes.

Hello Avanthal!

There is a brand new location, Ice Treader! I encourage you to go check it out! If you've ever wondered how to travel to and from the city, this is a great place to use.

Also, to reiterate what Capricious said, it is almost the end of the season. Please be prepared to assemble any work threads you wish to turn in. If you have any threads that you feel would qualify for seasonal experience (threads that might take place in the work setting but don't actually involve you performing your job) then turn those in as well and I will award at my discretion.
