EVENTS

The following letter is posted on the bulletin board of all the major cities on Atys:

"Kami'ata,

By now most homins should know that "respect for nature" is one of the core values in Zoraï culture. In order to promote a deeper bond between homins and the Planet, the town of Min-Cho is hosting a contest across Atys:

The Seven Wonder of Atys

The purpose of this contest is to choose the seven most incredible, beautiful and unique locations on Atys. While nature is preferred, homin made structures that manage to blend in with nature and enhance its beauty will also be considered.

Any homin can participate, no matter his race, religious belief or height. Simply post your submission on this board, underneath this letter, stating the "name" and "location" of the site, as well as a brief description of why you think this place is so special. Together with this description, you should also post a luciogram (screenshot) of the site. Homins can post as many submissions as they like.

Example:

Name: Fairhaven's Bar
Location: Fairhaven
Description: This is a beautiful place that shows the perfect bond between trykers and nature. I mean, shooki beer is natural right?

Alright, let's see those submissions come now!"

Name: Tha Matis Arena
Location: Majestic Garden
Description: Large amphitheatre with standing room for many thousands of homins, featuring a central area for event, combat, sports etc.  This is surely the largest single structure on Atys and an awesome sight even when empty.

Name: Virginia Falls
Location: The center of Hidden Source
Description: In the center of the dry northern marches of the Verdant Forest, an immense underground source of water thrusts upwards to pour from holes in an eroded stock to fall in graceful arcs to a pool that drains as fast as it is filled. The trees nearby are particularly beautiful due to the high moisture. The threat from the torbaks that wander the eastern part of this monument to nature adds spice to the beauty.

Name : The fallen tree
Location : South of Windy Gate
Description : a huge hollow tree trunk layed on the ground, which you can visit inside.

To Mermaidia: Once all the submissions are done, we will organize a comittee of volunteers to go to all the locations and capture lucios of all of them. That way for the final vote homins will have the visual representations of the lucios to choose from.

Keep the submissions coming!

Name : Pics instables (Tippy Peaks?)
Location : Enchanted Island, North East, close to the lake
Description : a strange structure like a trident with a hole in the handle.

Name: The crashed space vessel

Location: Forbidden Depths, Prime Roots

Description: At the very center of the Forbidden Depths is a very strange structure. Some call it the Leaning Tower, but there are more sinister rumors. Rumors that this is actually a Karavan space vessel that crashed long time ago on Atys and somehow got engulfed by the Prime Roots. There is no apparent entrance to this tower and it looks very old.

Very beautiful, Ouragant. It has been a long time since I went to the baths of Pyr.

I'll add this submission:

Name: Great Boulder Tunnel

Location: Maiden Grove

Description: A beautiful natural formation in Maiden Grove. You can climb to the top of it and have a wonderful view of the Jungle. This location is also considered sacred by the Zorais, and it was the place of the first Awakening back in the river of time where I came from.

I'll give it some more days for homins to send their final submissions and then we can organize a comittee of volunteers to visit all the sites and capture some lucios (screenshots) of the locations for the vote.

If you have been thinking of sending a submission, but didn't get around to it yet, now is the time!
