[All] Anlor Winn (31/10/13 - 01/11/13) - EVENTS

#1 Added by Ghost of Atys 1 decade ago [fr]

Anlor Winn is coming – the “evil wind” – I can feel it in my bones. Soon it will be here. Then it will be time to gather with your loved ones at home behind locked doors, or gather with friends and companions near fires that will keep the darkness at bay. It will not be a time to be alone where the force of Anlor Winn can seep into your thoughts and turn them against you and bring strange creatures to hunt you.

Anlor Winn – it comes in any season, in any month, but every score of Cycles it comes. We Trykers, children of the wind, feel it first, but it comes to all homins and all beasts, too. Whether the Kitins feel it, I do not know; nor am I inclined to ask them.

All homins are invited to come to Almati Wood on 8h - Dua, Winderly 2, 2nd AC 2575 (*) where there will be a fire and torches to light the night. Bring a story with you or just come to share companionship. After all other homins have told their tales, I will tell one as well. No one will object if you come bearing weapons, for who knows what foul beasts the night holds.

Later, on 8h - Quarta, Winderly 22, 2nd AC 2575 (**), come gather again for a day of YuboBall. There will be a special prize for the team with the best display of team unity in their outfits and another special prize for the winners of the tournament. Please organize your teams in advance. (Teams formed at the time will be allowed to play as long as formation of the team does not take too long.)

Throughout the time, homins should stay aware of unusual manifestations of Anlor Winn and eradicate them where they are found. Bring any trophies you might find to display your cunning and skill so that all may know you.

The Old Tryker

[OOC] (*) Thursday, 31 October 2013 20:00:00 UTC (1 decade ago) - There will be Tale Telling around the fire - those who cannot attend during that time slot may submit a tale through a friend or email it to the Animation Team at events@ryzom.com. The Old Tryker will then tell a tale followed by a mini-event.
The mini-event will be repeated at Friday, 1 November 2013 03:00:00 UTC (1 decade ago) and at 2013-11-01 NOV 12:00 CET to allow those in the US and in the Australia/east Asia time zones to participate.
Scattered “manifestations” can be found. Report back to Almati Wood to get a title.

(**) Yubo ball tournament is at Friday, 1 November 2013 20:00:00 UTC (1 decade ago) in Almati Wood. Teams will be judged on skill and on appearance. Please form teams in advance. Transport to Almati Wood is available through the Kami and Karavan outposts outside the capital cities. Marauders can message a CSR to arrange for transport. [/OOC]

The Legend of the Ghost Yubo:

Here is the tale of the Ghost Yubo.

Long, long, long ago in the Old Lands, yubos were not as weak as they are now. They were little (and sometimes not so little) balls of fury if you angered them. Their urine was so potent it could eat holes in your boots.

But they were not so strong that they could not be brought down by homins and used for food and the crafting of useful items.

But as years went on the yubos became weaker. Over time homins only used them for target practice and did not bother to quarter the bodies for materials as they had before and the yubo bodies were left to rot.

One season during Anlor Winn, the evil wind blew upon a dying yubo and filled it with malevolent purpose. The yubo rose up as bones and he fled to where the wind issued from the spirit world and entered there.

The next time the Anlor Winn blew, the little Ghost Yubo came back into the world. As it wandered the bark, it took flesh from the corpses of slain yubos and grew stronger, then returned to the spirit world.

Each Anlor Winn the Ghost Yubo would return to add more flesh to its bones. Over time the Ghost Yubo grew stronger and stronger, and larger and larger, but the bones still showed through the flesh it took.

Finally its power grew so great that it could make other yubos look like itself when the Anlor Winn blew. You have all seen this, no?

Sometimes it sends minions, little copies of itself, out to gather other yubos and bring them to the Ghost Yubo, who will absorb them into its being so that it can grow ever larger.

Sometimes these minions will attack other creatures as well, even homins!

In the season of Anlor Winn, beware of yubos! The Ghost Yubo is out there... waiting.
