Update 3.24
Greetings, OH Members:
A major happening in our world was put into place on this past Friday the 13th. A massive solar storm allowed the aurora to be seen as far south as the Anoi'pua Islands (where they no doubt were afraid something terrible was about to befall them), but in Southern Kir'viir the solar storm battered and decimated the area. Anything from the Ituri Forest upwards on the map is now charred lands, ash, no vegetation, no cities, no lakes or rivers - the fire from the heavens completely scarred the land - and scarred the few people that remained. Tens of thousands are dead, ashen husks left behind, but the few that survived have been mutated by the radiation in various ways and will soon be known as The Scarred, and the area will be called The Scarred Lands. After our Dark Omens arc is over, we will pick up this new storyline in full force and this area of our world will be further developed. Feel free to have all your characters know about it though, as it has spread worldwide that much of Kir'viir was destroyed. A few hundred refugees from the Scarred Lands were brought through the inne and are now residing in and around the capital of Navahla.
Dark Omens Update: Pedur's crypt in Kullyr is in the process of being explored. Ophelia is still missing as far as Maria knows.
REMEMBER: Please sign up for all quests at this time. Send an email to tesarikone (or whoever is hosting the quest).
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points from (psionicwanderer) . Remember with our change, CP is just CP, you don't have to split it between crafting types. If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
WANDERING TOURNAMENT
The Wandering Tournament is going on for ONE MORE WEEK! Please see the information, and start taking part in the events! Please contact (iyieldtonone) for information.
Here's a room to open and do events: Arts and Entertainment - OH Tournament Arena
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to come up with something we can add to our Scarred Lands. This is our new land area where the solar storm and radiation has devastated the area. You can take inspiration from both the Mournlands in d&d as well as the Dark Sun in d&d. We need mutated races, mutated creatures, new monsters, new terrain, and all sorts of cool things to populate this area.
Your challenge this week will earn you a roll on the Loot Generator List - which list will be determined by what you send me and whether I want to use it or not! You get one email to me of your idea/ideas, if you decide to send in more ideas after that first email they will only count towards your being a good steward of our game and not for the challenge.
Submit this to me with the subject line, "Weekly Challenge". This is a one-time challenge this week, and whatever loot you get can be given to any of your characters.
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have a new incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3000gp to outfit their character.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.

UPDATES
1. ARMORED INK
Just a reminder that armored ink must go into your ARMOR slot, not body mod, not anything else. It replaces Armor, you cannot wear leather armor, metal armor, etc with Armored Ink. You can wear bracers and helms and the like but nothing that goes in the Armor slot.
2. SHADOW FORM UPDATED
It has come to my attention that Shadow Form did not have a prerequisite.... and it really needed one, because unless you are a certain race like shadowkin, or something that allows you to manipulate shadows racially you simply can't make yourself turn into shadows without Magical or Psionic Affinity. It just doesn't make sense. So, if you have Shadow Form and are not a race that can manipulate shadows and don't have Magical or Psionic Affinity - you need to replace it for free.
3. ORICHALCUM GETS A HUGE BOOST
Orichalcum creates a weapon that is a rich copper-gold color. Orichalcum is an expensive material because it holds the ability to bypass damage reduction/magic even if it is a mundane weapon without any magical enchantments. There are some creatures weak to orichalcum, as well.
It costs 10,000gp. If you already have a weapon of orichalcum.... congratulations, you're one lucky duckling.
