If everything goes suddenly dark...try using a light. Candles and lanterns are readily available for purchase from Nom, Sol or Jim the Peddler, but it is always best to bring some spares along. - Calidon

Imperion, Chapter Three
Skorn is hosting Imperion, Chapter Three on November, 22nd from 1pm to 7pm EST.
What a joyous occasion it is today! It is my 24th birthday! However, now is
not a time to celebrate. As I was travelling throughout Midgaardia,
I was knocked out at some point in the Valley of the Sun. When I came to,
some mobs had stolen the birthday candles from my cake. I spoke with Aelmon
later and he informed me they were scattered throughout several hero areas.
I did not want to overwork myself to retrieve the candles on my birthday
so I bought a new pack of candles for my cake. The original candles are
still out there however. Though the heat from Valley of the Sun may have
melted them a bit, they may still prove to be useful for you heroes.
There are 24 in all in honor of my 24th birthday.
Thieron
*** NOTE: Please use only heroes for this quest. ***
Update:
Thieron thanks everyone for retrieving his candles. While most of them were retrieved, a few weren't found in time and dissipated.
Many thanks to Thieron for holding his first quest, and we look forward to many more!

Schema's Cryptoscramble!
Introducing Schema's Puzzle of the Week!
Kicking off my puzzle of the week line will be a cryptoscramble.
Few things first though - some general rules regarding puzzle of the week
1. Each month, the highest performer will receive an additional prize
This will be determined by a simple rating system, scoring 2 points for
completion, 3 for 3rd, 4 for 2nd and 5 for 1st.
2. Submission is one per player, not one per alt, any abuse found
to this end will result in disqualification, possibly permanent.
3. Collaboration between players is allowed, but keep in mind that in the case
of ties, prizes will be lower than should a single person win - though
the average prize should be the same.
4. Prizes not yet determined for this one.
Without further ado... the cryptoscramble
Qzueeg-bydul cu et hebyfii za e puisteri quezeg ut greepe. Cutfaws,
Famjacw met Cuby pixe crux "drufuwe".
A cryptoscramble is a combination of a cryptogram and a scramble.
You can look those up if needed, or ask me if you see me for clarification
For this puzzle, the following hints will be given:
1. There is no first person.
2. In this puzzle, vowels are all represented by other vowels.
3. Capitalization correspond to the result, not to that specific letter.
4. Letters are NOT scrambled between words, hyphenation indicates two words.
Good Luck, will give more hints in note form, if seems necessary
Please DON'T ask for personal hints.
Submit your answer to board 2. Deadline is, as expected, a week!
Schema.
Revision changes:
a M in 2nd sentence, 2nd word was replaced with a C due to a mistake on my part

Imperion, Chapter Two today!
The destruction of the newly forming Imperion forces has provoked an extreme response from the General, and ultimate leader of the Imperion. His vast army of clerics and priests has cracked a seal deep within the Void between worlds and brought forth a proving grounds for his troops.
These newly initiated Imperion armies will swamp the entirety of the Realm unless their leaders can be destroyed. Each of the four members of the Imperion Council controls a portion of the training, and all must be defeated before this threat will be averted.
What type of death and destruction will Skorn dream up for the Lords? Only time will tell!
All lords are welcomed to participate, November 8th, at 1:00 PM EST.

The spreading of the lowly Imps
And, amidst much grumbling and muttering, the Gods decided to make the creatures commonly known as Lesser Imps available to those who are desperate for a formidable challenge. This should teach them...
Please be aware that we do NOT encourage advertising of Avatar on other
muds, particularly spamming on channels or notes.
If you mention Avatar on another game, you are effectively acting as an
ambassador for Avatar. Please help us by making sure that you give the
right impression if you do so by respecting other games.
We expect players from other muds to respect our game when they come and
try us out and it is only fair to other games for us to extend the same
courtesy to them if we, as Avatar players, are visitors to their game.
While we are obviously happy to gain new players, we don't want to do so
by going to other muds and actively encouraging people to stop playing
there and coming to play Avatar.
Spamming other muds in Avatar's name harms our reputation with other muds
and this is not something we wish to happen.
Sure, tell your friends about us if you think that they will be interested
but please don't go to other muds and say "Your MUD sucks, come play
Avatar instead!" etc.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
