"High Priestess?" The whisper-soft hiss echoed off the walls of the earthen tunnel.


"What is it, Issk?" Nuhmudira looked at her protege, closing the book she had been reading over her forefinger so as to not lose her place. She was dressed in her midnight blue and white robes, overseeing the construction of tunnels that stretched deep into the world.

"We have reached the inner chamber. So, too, have the virindi." Issk, a chomu sclavus, bowed his head and spread his hood wide. The gesture was an honorific offered only to the High Priestess of the faith. "She who sings" was due this reverence, especially when the news her underling delivered was disheartening. He awaited a response.

"Send your best warriors to deter their progress. I will sing for assistance." She opened the book and watched as Issk rose to leave her presence. She called after him. "Issk, once warriors are in place, climb to the surface and recruit others to our cause." In her left hand, a new, simple-looking book appeared. "Give them this book. It will explain our cause more fully. The Isparians may question why I send you to speak to them, but they must be made to know that Aerbax means ill with his goals."

Alatar is going to have a fit. That was Antius' first thought as he cleared the ridge and looked down into the valley. All of the existing maps of the area would need to be changed.
== Discoveries ==
=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "...and a warrior came forth bearing the mark of Light upon him. He carried, in his hand, the rays of the sun crafted into steel. A blade with a purpose in the hands of a virtuous heart brings hope where there is none. The Light has been found again."


The first terrified reports had come from the Sennon Valley and Hand-on-Sword settlements. Almost overnight, trees and grass had died, replaced by enormous mushrooms and other fungal growths. The whole area was now a twisted wasteland, utterly alien in the pale moonlight.  
:Town Crier tells you, "Aerbax and Nuhmudira seem to be at each other's throats. I wonder what this will mean for the refugees of Yanshi."


If we can't stop them, all of Dereth will look like this. It was a sobering thought.  He might have speculated further, had he not been frozen by the chittering sound behind him. Antius turned slowly, looking up at the blue-black armor, the burgundy eyes, the pincers poised to attack. One hand reached into his pocket for two of the gems that Ciandra had prepared for him, and he mentally thanked the Arcanum for their work. As he crushed the stones and their magic exploded around him, he drew his sword in a flash and lunged.
:Town Crier tells you, "Has it been over a year since the destruction of Yanshi? I can't help but think of that poor jeweler who never returned to the Lifestone with the rest of the town's folk..."
*****


:Town Crier tells you, "I can't wait until I have done enough for Candeth Keep to be recognized as a founder. I hear the shops there are exquisite!"


"...capable of boiling the most corrosive of materials I have ever seen." Hiro grumbled, crumbling a sprig of henbane into a bubbling concoction. "I'll be, it did work. Do you see that, Ciandra? Who would have ever thought?"  
:Town Crier tells you, "I hear word that the keep in the South Dires is almost completed. Merchants from all three races of the alliance have moved in to provide adventurers with supplies and places of rest."


Ciandra smiled and turned back to her class.
:Town Crier tells you, "I heard from Alatar Locke recently... he was upset that he had to redo some of his oldest notes... something about some carved caves?"


"With the discovery of aqua vitae, we have ushered in a new era for alchemy on Dereth. I will be collating the notes for this latest find and distributing them as I can. Please, remain vigilant in your research and remember to turn in your findings to either myself or Hiro." She dismissed the class and pocketed the gem.
:Town Crier tells you, "I never thought I'd see the day where Alchemists would be smiling again."
*****


:Town Crier tells you, "I voted for Locke Ridge..."


"Garsh has failed." Niarltah said across the large stone table.
:Town Crier tells you, "I was worried when the Olthoi first began to congregate in the north, but now they have twisted the land into their own! This can only mean bad things for us."


"So too have your heroes." Muldaveus leaned forward, speaking directly at the leader of the tumeroks. "Our forces were routed despite being well provisioned and prepared." He leaned back as the tumerok leader nodded in agreement. "The question now is, what do we do next?"
:Town Crier tells you, "I'm trusting in the good faith of the populace to keep me well protected. I figure now that you can craft your own protections I might just be safe on my walkabouts."


"When I led the massacre at Holtburg, so many years ago, it was only through tenacity and perseverance that I was able to bring my troops to victory. Even then, one Isparian proved to be a difficult foe for many. I have not forgotten those days." Niarltah paused. "Redouble our efforts. We have chosen our place for victory; winning at Fort Tethana will make that battle all the easier. If we fail at Tethana, there are always other options, newer options."
:Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that all but one of the potions we once used for casting spells is used in crafting new protective stones."


"Yes," the gray giant agreed, then drew in a quick breath. "But what of the olthoi?"
:Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that High Queen Elysa is forming an expedition to enter the tunnels deep beneath Asheron's Island. I wonder if there is any truth to it."


"For the moment they are of little concern. The ona I sent to track the whereabouts of the olthoi hives will return to us and warn us of how great the threat is. Let us focus upon the task at hand, Muldaveus."
:Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that one of Asheron's emissaries has been spotted in Yanshi. Perhaps he is there keeping the peace."


Niarltah stood and walked across the room toward an enclave of great tumerok and lugian warriors. Muldaveus rose and followed close behind.
:Town Crier tells you, "Iquba's tavern in Qalabar's been awfully crowded these days, but no one seems to be buying any ale, just examining some strange keys."
***** 


:Town Crier tells you, "In the Halls of Lost Light the Guardian has stirred and the sword glows brighter now than ever. Perhaps this is an omen of things to come. Perhaps it is a sign that even in this growing darkness there is still hope."


Elysa stood on a balcony, unable to sleep. She saw nothing in the night but stars� Alb'arel was behind her and Rez'arel had not yet risen.  And yet she knew that, somewhere in the night, Asheron was instructing his golems to repair the damage done to his tower. Somewhere in the night, Antius scouted the new hives on her command. Somewhere in the night, in the darkness...the olthoi waited.
:Town Crier tells you, "It seems as though the Gotrok Lugians and their Renegade Tumerok comrades are continuing to siege Fort Tethana."


She remembered the weight of the quiver on her shoulder, the feel of the bow in her hand. She remembered the horror of the Queen's hive, over a decade past now, remembered watching Thorsten die. She had thought that it would be over, that her people would never face such a nightmare again.  
:Town Crier tells you, "Our refusal to speak last month was for our own reasons. We're underpaid and it's as though our voices are no longer heard. Many of us decided that we'd be silent for a cycle of the moons in protest. Did it work?"


So naive, so wrong!  The olthoi were coming, and now she would have to take her people into the darkness once again.  
:Town Crier tells you, "Rumors persist that the Harbinger is reforming much more quickly. If it's true what more could we possibly face. We have the Renegade Tumeroks, the Gotrok Lugians, Aerbax, Olthoi and now a thing that is an elemental force. It's good to see that Nuhmudira is doing something about it over there. Of course... it would be better if she didn't have a Sclavus speaking for her."
*****


:Town Crier tells you, "Some adventurers came back from the stronghold northwest of Mount Esper the other day -- they reported that it'd gotten much more difficult. Something about new monsters moving in! They were going to check two other dungeons, but I don't remember which ones."


A single claw reached over a shoulder and unfastened the mask; three tentacles stretched out to drag along the corridor of the newly constructed tunnel. A consul, independent entity Vincadi, made his way to where Aerbax stood. As Aerbax watched Vincadi in the tunnels, the mirror spoke to him from the energy source.
:Town Crier tells you, "Swear to me or die! Ha, ha, just joking. Who would be that cruel?"


"Master Aerbax. Flesh being Nuhmudira has acquired the objective's locality. The tunnels of the flesh beings fill with a force set to invade our current position."
:Town Crier tells you, "The Tumeroks have grown a huge tree in the center of Candeth Keep. They say that it's the heart of the city. Supposedly they can talk to it or some such nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I respect their beliefs, I'm just not sure I believe them."


It requires more power to make the shift to the Singularity. Collect the specimen at any cost and fulfill your goal. You have progressed well. Do not allow a failure now.
:Town Crier tells you, "There are rumors of new Olthoi hives in the North! I do hope all the homeowners there have a Horn of Vigilance... Available, by the way, at all sellers named Coron Usgin in Zaikhal. Guaranteed to keep Olthoi away! At least, uh, I think they are. Well, I believe you can return it to Coron Usgin if not satisfied, a one hundred percent pyreal-back guarantee! I think..."


"Our progress astounds even those who cannot comprehend our undertaking. See that the flesh beings are shackled. We will achieve our objective." The claw replaced the mask and the tentacles retreated beneath his tattered cloak. "I will bring forth the fleshless eyes. Vincadi, recruit the flesh beings to our cause and conduct your research, as well."
:Town Crier tells you, "They have infested most of the world, and now the Olthoi have begun to blight our lands. And to make matters worse, it looks as though they are beginning to establish new hives in the Olthoi North!"


Vincadi's mask tilted slightly. "You believe that the meatbags will assist us?"
:Town Crier tells you, "Yanshi has suddenly become popular again. I've heard that a Virindi and a Sclavus have taken up in the ruins, professing their allegiance to new leaders. I can only see ill coming from this."


Is it wise to rely upon flawed beings to accomplish your work?
:Town Crier tells you, "Yeah, we're all talking again. But the truth of the matter is that we're still unhappy. Tumeroks and Lugians standing by our side! Ha! Tell them to leave us alone in the wilderness, then we'll talk peace."</font>
----


The questions came simultaneously and were parsed to different receptors. His answer came swiftly and without difficulty, "The 'meatbags' have proven ever predictable and reliable in assisting a cause they know nothing of. They will assist us, as they have before."
=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
 
No new messages this month.

Last month, a number of old enemies attacked Dereth - from the renegade Tumeroks and Lugians besieging Fort Tethana, to the deep holes beneath Martine's Retreat dug by the minions of Aerbax, to the terrifying invasion of Asheron's Island by the Olthoi.  No, this is not a safe time to be a human in Dereth, and the dangers continue to multiply.  Most recently, the power that rests below Yanshi has stirred - and thus come to the attention of two major powers, Nuhmudira and Aerbax.  Both seek it for their own purposes, and it has brought them into conflict with each other.  But this power is not easily harnessed, even by the likes of these two...
=== New [[NPCs]] ===
* [[Emissary of Asheron (Yanshi)]] - Returns to [[Yanshi]]
* [[Grawalda the Peddler]] - Inside [[Dungeon Manor]]
* [[Issk]] - 12.9S, 46.5E, in [[Old Yanshi]]

* [[Tunnels to the Harbinger (Vincadi)]] - 12.6S 46.7E in [[Old Yanshi]]


The August update includes a number of changes to the quest for the Sword of Lost Light, one of the original signature quests in the game. The basic flow of the quest has not changed, but there are a number of changes to the swords themselves that deserve some comment. For instance, it's important to note that only new Swords of Lost Light, obtained after the August update, will be significantly differentPre-existing swords are no longer attuned (which means they can be given and hooked), but they just aren't as good as the new swords. The new swords are also not attuned, but infusing a new Sword of Lost Light not only improves it, but it also causes the sword to be wieldable only by the player who infused it. Note that the infusions themselves are still attuned.
==== Updated Locations ====
===== Dungeons =====
* [[Olthoi North]] - Landscape is now severely blighted by the olthoi presence, with far less vegetation and lots of purplish thatch.
* [[Carved Cave]] - Portal moved from 72.1N, 35.6W to 7.4N, 0.6E near Al-Jalima. In addition, the Level 17+ restriction was removed and a portal to the [[Halls of the Lost Light]] was added.
* [[Chakron Gate]] - Updated with Assailers, Telumiat Hollow Minions and Virindi Inquisitors, Virindi Preceptors and Virindi Adjudicators
* [[Dungeon Manor]] - Updated with Drudge Slaves and Desert Rats
* [[Holtburg Dungeon]] - Updated with Drudge Slaves 12 & 14, Sandy Armoredillo, Spikey Armoredillo, Jade Gromnie, and Swamp Rats.
* [[Matron Hive South]] - Now levels 20-50
* [[Matron Hive West]] - Now levels 60-90
* [[Shade Stronghold]] - Updated with Tenebrous and Sinister Shadows and Destroyer Grievvers
* [[Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer]] - Now has Bile Grievvers and new Shadows. No longer recallable.
* [[Rithwic Crypt]] - Updated with Mire Phyntos Wasps, Hunter Shreths, Desert Rats
* [[Shoushi Grotto]] - Updated with Drudge Slaves, Hunter Shreth and Swamp Rats
* [[Yanshi Tunnels]] - Updated with Drudge Slaves
* [[Yaraq Tunnels]] - Updated with Drudge Slaves and Desert Rats


Both the new Sword of Lost Light and the new Sword of Lost Hope have some other special properties, but you'll have to discover those yourself.
===== Points of Interest =====
 
* [[72.1N, 35.6W - Banderling Cave]] - The original location of the Carved Cave portal, now populated with Banderlings and has a Runed Chest and Direlands Midland Portal.
'''New Alchemy Effects'''
* [[72.2N, 36.1W - Zefir Tower]] - Creatures updated, chest updated to a Sturdy Steel Chest.
 
* [[47.5S, 85.3W - Plasma Golem Squares]] - Creatures updated and runed chest added.
Good news!  The enterprising alchemists at the Arcanum have discovered a new use for their skills. Starting with the August update, alchemists will be able to craft gems that cast a beneficial spell on the user. Gems can be created to cast the full suite of life magic protections (including Armor), as well as Regeneration, Rejuvenation, and Mana Renewal spells.  The strength of the gems ranges from a level 3 spell to a level 6 spell; experienced alchemists will find it fairly easy to create the lower gems, but the higher gems will be challenging for all but master alchemists.  These alchemy gems can be sold or traded, but be warned - one of the most important ingredients is not available in stores.
* [[47.6S, 86.3W - Drudge Tower]] - Updated with Bloodletters, Unconquered, Cabalist, Peerless and Murk Drudges along with a Sturdy Steel Chest.
 
* [[50.5S, 53.6W - Lugian Cave]] - Creatures updated. (unconfirmed for this event)
Alchemists should visit the Arcanum settlement near Xarabydun for more information.

'''"Your movement disrupted healing!"'''
 
Some time ago, we countered an animation exploit by enforcing a limit on how far a player could move during spellcasting and healing. If you moved too far while attempting either of these actions, you would get the message, "Your movement disrupted spellcasting!" or "Your movement disrupted healing!" and the action would fail.
 
After listening to your feedback and examining the system, we've made two small changes. First, Non-Player Killers are no longer affected by this restriction at all. As the exploit was primarily used during PK fights, we felt that the limit was unnecessary in NPK play.
 
In addition, we have increased the allowable radius for Player Killers slightly. This should still prevent the exploit while reducing some of the frustration that players feel when lag or other issues cause them to fail their actions due to movement.
 
'''Item Enchantment Changes'''
 
Starting with the August update, we've made two small changes to the way players use Item Enchantment - casting spells on your opponent's weapons, and casting spells on individual ammunition.
 
'''Enchanting Wielded Objects'''
 
In the past, casting Blood Loather on an enemy's sword or Brittlemail on an enemy's shield was quite easy. If the item had no inherent magic resistance - and as long as you could target the object and cast the spell - you didn't have to worry about being resisted. Unfortunately, this had the side effect of making high levels of Item Enchantment skill less valuable than high levels of other magic schools, as there was no resistance that you needed to overcome.


Starting this month, however, wielded objects that do not have their own inherent magic resistance will now be able to benefit from the Magic Defense of their wielder. This will only affect negative spells cast by an outside agent, not beneficial spells or any spells innate to the object. In addition, if an item is unenchantable, it remains unenchantable.
=== New [[Items]] ===

'''Enchanting Ammunition'''
{{Item Table|Caption=[[Harbinger Quest]] Update
| Natural Order
| Experimentation
}}


Previously, it was possible to cast Item Enchantment spells on a single arrow, bolt, or atlatl dart. This led to situations where, with proper preparation, players could cause large amounts of damage with single shots. This was unfortunately causing some difficulties with balancing quest monsters, so starting with the August update, ammunition is no longer a valid target for Item Enchantment spells.

We're very pleased to announce that we've tracked down and (we believe) fixed a number of long-standing bugs. Although we would normally save this type of announcement for the Build Notes, these particular bugs have caused us more than enough grief, and we are very excited to see the end of them.

* Coordinates should no longer disappear from below the radar when it is in the 3D part of the screen.

* If you start to open a corpse or container, and then change your mind, you will no longer be forced to run back to it the next time you go into combat mode.
| Young Brood Matron Tail
* Sometimes players would have difficulty IDing an object - they would find that for some reason the game simply wouldn't display any details about the object. This could be fixed temporarily by IDing a different object and then returning to the first. We believe we have fixed this issue. (As a side effect of this fix, you may notice the ID panel closing more frequently. For example if you ID an object in a container and then close the container, the ID panel will now close as well, although before it would sometimes remain open.)
| Young Brood Matron Tarsus
* In addition, you can also now ID objects that are in packs even when the packs are in another container, such as housing storage.

'''Renegade Bows and Crossbows'''
{{Item Table|Caption=[[Sturdy Steel Keyring]]
| Coral Heart
| Sturdy Steel Keyring
}}


As many of you know, the Renegade Bow and Renegade Crossbow initially came into the game with incorrect wield requirements. Our July hotfix adjusted these requirements, but if you had wielded one of these weapons before the hotfix, it was possible to continue wielding it even if you did not meet the new requirements.
{{Item Table|Caption=[[Texts]]

}}


The first time that you enter the game after the August event, these weapons will check to make sure that you can legitimately wield them. If you do not meet the wield requirements, the weapon will be removed from your hand and a message will be displayed on your screen. If you have room in your main pack, the weapon will be placed thereIf you do not have room in your main pack, however, the weapon will drop on the ground in front of you. We suggest that if you are currently wielding one of these weapons, and you no longer meet the wield requirements, that you unwield the weapon now in order to avoid being surprised after the update.

Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "...and a warrior came forth bearing the mark of Light upon him. He carried, in his hand, the rays of the sun crafted into steel. A blade with a purpose in the hands of a virtuous heart brings hope where there is none. The Light has been found again."
Town Crier tells you, "Aerbax and Nuhmudira seem to be at each other's throats. I wonder what this will mean for the refugees of Yanshi."
Town Crier tells you, "Has it been over a year since the destruction of Yanshi? I can't help but think of that poor jeweler who never returned to the Lifestone with the rest of the town's folk..."
Town Crier tells you, "I can't wait until I have done enough for Candeth Keep to be recognized as a founder. I hear the shops there are exquisite!"
Town Crier tells you, "I hear word that the keep in the South Dires is almost completed. Merchants from all three races of the alliance have moved in to provide adventurers with supplies and places of rest."
Town Crier tells you, "I heard from Alatar Locke recently... he was upset that he had to redo some of his oldest notes... something about some carved caves?"
Town Crier tells you, "I never thought I'd see the day where Alchemists would be smiling again."
Town Crier tells you, "I voted for Locke Ridge..."
Town Crier tells you, "I was worried when the Olthoi first began to congregate in the north, but now they have twisted the land into their own! This can only mean bad things for us."
Town Crier tells you, "I'm trusting in the good faith of the populace to keep me well protected. I figure now that you can craft your own protections I might just be safe on my walkabouts."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that all but one of the potions we once used for casting spells is used in crafting new protective stones."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that High Queen Elysa is forming an expedition to enter the tunnels deep beneath Asheron's Island. I wonder if there is any truth to it."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that one of Asheron's emissaries has been spotted in Yanshi. Perhaps he is there keeping the peace."
Town Crier tells you, "Iquba's tavern in Qalabar's been awfully crowded these days, but no one seems to be buying any ale, just examining some strange keys."
Town Crier tells you, "In the Halls of Lost Light the Guardian has stirred and the sword glows brighter now than ever. Perhaps this is an omen of things to come. Perhaps it is a sign that even in this growing darkness there is still hope."
Town Crier tells you, "It seems as though the Gotrok Lugians and their Renegade Tumerok comrades are continuing to siege Fort Tethana."
Town Crier tells you, "Our refusal to speak last month was for our own reasons. We're underpaid and it's as though our voices are no longer heard. Many of us decided that we'd be silent for a cycle of the moons in protest. Did it work?"
Town Crier tells you, "Rumors persist that the Harbinger is reforming much more quickly. If it's true what more could we possibly face. We have the Renegade Tumeroks, the Gotrok Lugians, Aerbax, Olthoi and now a thing that is an elemental force. It's good to see that Nuhmudira is doing something about it over there. Of course... it would be better if she didn't have a Sclavus speaking for her."
Town Crier tells you, "Some adventurers came back from the stronghold northwest of Mount Esper the other day -- they reported that it'd gotten much more difficult. Something about new monsters moving in! They were going to check two other dungeons, but I don't remember which ones."
Town Crier tells you, "Swear to me or die! Ha, ha, just joking. Who would be that cruel?"
Town Crier tells you, "The Tumeroks have grown a huge tree in the center of Candeth Keep. They say that it's the heart of the city. Supposedly they can talk to it or some such nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I respect their beliefs, I'm just not sure I believe them."
Town Crier tells you, "There are rumors of new Olthoi hives in the North! I do hope all the homeowners there have a Horn of Vigilance... Available, by the way, at all sellers named Coron Usgin in Zaikhal. Guaranteed to keep Olthoi away! At least, uh, I think they are. Well, I believe you can return it to Coron Usgin if not satisfied, a one hundred percent pyreal-back guarantee! I think..."
Town Crier tells you, "They have infested most of the world, and now the Olthoi have begun to blight our lands. And to make matters worse, it looks as though they are beginning to establish new hives in the Olthoi North!"
Town Crier tells you, "Yanshi has suddenly become popular again. I've heard that a Virindi and a Sclavus have taken up in the ruins, professing their allegiance to new leaders. I can only see ill coming from this."
Town Crier tells you, "Yeah, we're all talking again. But the truth of the matter is that we're still unhappy. Tumeroks and Lugians standing by our side! Ha! Tell them to leave us alone in the wilderness, then we'll talk peace."
