=== Allegiance Experience Follow-Up ===
:''The cold black walls were home. There was no other explanation for the warmth that spread through him. Since Kaedrix had made him aware that the Virindi were leaving the home of his Lord, the Mirror had wanted to see the halls, the halls of Bael'Zharon, the Hopeslayer, the most fearsome entity that this world had ever known. His Lord.
{{Patch Announcements Links
A thin black smile stretched across his shadowy face, and his children began leaving him. They pulled themselves from his body and swarmed along the walls, into the shadows and along the floor. The children giggled and danced and played, as all good children should. Finally, he was home.

The Virindi had not been to this depth. They had not violated the sanctity of the deepest temple. Here he had stood so long ago with his lord and the other chosen, performing rites to call the black breath to scourge the world and bring about the destruction of it all.
== Discoveries ==
=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Are you able to recall to the Singularity Caul? If you are, you might consider yourself lucky. I've heard that the island has become much more deadly. What can it all mean?"</font><br>


The children suddenly stopped dancing and playing and giggling. Playtime was done and the air grew colder as the Mirror's red eyes blazed and spilled red across the ebon floor. The thin smile turned to a dark scowl and the crown atop his head spilled shadowy fumes about him. The children gathered into a circle on the floor, sitting in silence -- no, not silence, reverence. The mirror made his way to an altar set into the wall. A basin filled with bubbling black blood was set within the stone altar and lit from above by some spectral form of crimson light. Here was the place it would begin again.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Have you been to the island that the Virindi invaded a few years back? No? Well from everything that I have been hearing, the Virindi have fled, and something else has taken their place. Something...not very nice."</font><br>


The children waited expectantly. The Mirror dipped a shadowy hand into the blood and lifted it to his lips. As he drank, strength flowed through him once more. Power flooded into his arms and his eyes burned brighter, flooding the cavern with radiant light he looked up to the ceiling, there gathered and huddled in the darkness were thousands of sleeping forms. The Mirror turned his attention to the children who waited, so patiently, such good children... they deserved a reward. They deserved a story.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I'll never get to that island in the southwest now. Why do I have to stand here and never hunt?"</font><br>


"Such precious children, obedient and silent. You have earned a story, children. But this story is unlike any other I have told you, for you shall live it." His hand dipped into the blood again, but this time his fingers extended, etching symbols onto the wall behind the altar. "It begins before the coming of our new Lord, when the world was dark with rain and the Black Breath reached to cleanse the Lightbringer's blight. It was then that our Lord, our First Lord, asked me of children.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I'm thinking that the island in the southwest is a diversion or something. But don't quote me on that. I've been parked here for over four years, and though I may talk about taking myself out into the wilderness to hunt, I think that we all know that I am more suited toward the art of talking more than fighting."</font><br>


"Such a painful wound on the mind, heart and soul of our Lord, as his own son had been taken from him. But still he spoke to me of children, asking how to teach them and speak to them as I had done. How to love children as I did, and how to mold them in his own image." The Mirror drew the face of his master in the blood and then a smaller form beside him. The images took on a ghostly white sheen and began to move about one another. "My master could not have the children he wanted, so I made children from him and for him." The images danced and combined and then parted splitting into several small winged outlines. The Mirror smiled. "Now it is time for Ler Rhan to revisit his master's children and wake them from their slumber. Would you children like to help?"
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that a great warrior lost his way in the wilderness. I've also heard tell that he found his way again. It's said that his journey began in a place that bore two names."</font><br>


The small shadow forms nodded their heads in unison and Ler Rhan, the Mirror, smiled once again. Tendrils of darkness began pouring from his mouth and from the top of his crown. A web-work stretched over his children, reaching to the top of the giant cavern and touching the motionless forms.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that an enigmatic sage has moved onto a mountaintop outside of Kara. I wonder if there is any truth to it?"</font><br>


"Such good children. Take his blood, take the blood of my master, and feed his children. We shall wake them and then we shall take what is ours."
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that Ecorto has been a little more talkative than usual."</font><br>


The children clamored one by one, by the tens, the hundred, then by the thousands to carry the black blood through the webs to the cavern's ceiling. There they dripped the viscous liquid into sleeping mouths and then fled to the safety of the floor below. Ler Rhan cast his red gaze toward the ceiling and marveled as the forms started moving.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that the Virindi have reinforced their hold on the dungeon that leads to the Singularity Caul. Why would they do that?"</font><br>


"Good children, good." The tendrils retreated into his form and the children began clapping, leaping, dancing and playing again. The first Margul descended and landed before Ler Rhan. He bowed his head to the little creature and it spoke.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "If you're looking for the bracelet that Nuhmudira needed while trying to face down the Olthoi Queen, don't bother with the Singularity Caul. I've been told that the portal is now located on the Obsidian Plains. What caused that to happen?"</font><br>


"Where is father?" It tilted its head to the side. "We awake and do not feel his call."
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier Tells You " It Blew up! Huge columns of smoke blew into the sky and dropped hot ash from miles around....and....Okay...It didn't really "Blow Up" it just kind of Imploded"</font><br>


"Father is&resting." Ler Rhan responded and the children hushed. The little creature looked to the ceiling and his brethren. It looked back to Ler Rhan.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "It sat beneath the cover of brush. Stone still, until I approached, then it lunged at me, screaming and taunting me! I nearly died! What was it, you ask? I'm not certain, but it was terrifying!"</font><br>


"We remember you. You are the Creator. You are the teacher, and despoiler. We shall serve as father wishes." It bowed low pulling its wings about it as it did. Ler Rhan nodded.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "My little sister tells me that on her recent travels through the Shoushi she ran across several encampments of creatures guarding runed chests. I wonder what's going on?"</font><br>


"We have much to do." His shadowy children, staring in awe, began crawling toward him, toward the little creature. "These are my children. There are many others coming, children of the new master. They will arrive soon and then we take the land above and claim it once again."
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "My brother said he was standing on the coast south of Ayan Baqur when a bright flash of light rose from the horizon followed by a billowing black cloud. He wasn't close enough to be harmed by it, but I wonder what occurred in the ocean down there."</font><br>


The little creature bowed its head again. It let out a call and above Ler Rhan thousands of wings began flapping and cries echoed through the cavernous halls.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Rumors are pouring in the the Singularity Caul has been transformed. If the things that I have been hearing are true, portals disappeared and reappeared here on Dereth, the Virindi have shored up the access way with much stronger residents...but...they fled the island. Are they trying to keep whatever is there hidden?"</font><br>


:''Lord Aerbax, the children of the Hopeslayer are wakened.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "The undead seem to be armoring up. For as old as it is, their armor appears to have held remarkably well through the ages."</font><br>


:''Excellent. Continue with your efforts and rend the land asunder, drive out those who cling to the ideals of the Quiddity and loose my children on the world. Take back the home of your former master. Let me rest, the transformation is far from complete.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "They say in the Sho city that's rumored to have been an Aluvian settlement a great warrior removed his armor and left to find himself again."</font><br>


:''As you wish, Lord Aerbax.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Yes, it's true. We saved all of those pyreals that you've been handing to us for years and we finally had enough to buy ourselves a little slice of the world. Now we just need to get more people to take notice. Think you can give us a hand?"</font><br>
----


:''"Go!" Ler Rhan commanded.
=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
No new messages this month.
----


Through twisting tunnels and marred underworld, through darkness and through dampness they flew. To the surface, spreading like plague. Seeking a singular prey with efficient cruelty unseen to this world in millennia. Claw, tooth, spell and breath ripped and shredded the remaining forces of the Quiddity. They delved into strongholds built over long silenced geysers and tunnels of flame. As the purge neared its end Ler Rhan gathered his children close and brought them all back within his body, one by one.

=== Rollout - [http://ac.turbine.com/?page_id=161 Link] ===
=== New [[Quests]] ===
:Ayan Baqur saw it first, a black pillar billowing far to the southwest. It rose into the sky and threatened to block out the sun. The black pillar cleared and the ground shook as a wave approached the shore of the direlands. Water rose as the wave crashed just below the edge of the city and dragged the creatures on the western coast into the sea.
* [[Path of the Jojii Adherent]]


:When the waves ceased to crash they saw them, teeth that rose toward the sky. The mountains of the island in the southwest had risen to be like knives. The island was changed and only the heartiest and most adventurous would dare travel there now.
==== Updated Quests ====
* [[Caul Recall]] - Dungeon moved, spawns updated, and new ring rewards.
* [[Green Mire Grave Quest]] - Items updated.


:While this transpired in the west, High Queen Elysa approved the work of the council in enhancing the methods of communications within monarchies. The work of months came to fruition as the whispers of all sworn to her could speak amongst themselves at last.
----


:The Sho town of Shoushi saw the first of her improvements as a lifestone was anchored in the center of the town. Asheron and Nuhmudira remained apart from the endeavor. The work instead fell to Shoyanen Kenchu, Master of the Right Hand, who also completed the task of reworking the portal space beacon. The town saw an increased interest from the bestial inhabitants of Dereth, their curiosity piqued by the attention the town received.

:As we've hinted at all month, the Singularity Caul and many of the quests associated with it have been revised.

:In addition, we've revised much of the content around the starter town of Shoushi, rebalancing and tweaking where we felt it was necessary. Over time, we plan on retouching all of the older towns in this manner, as well as making other changes and improvements to make them more fun and valuable to spend time in.

:In the December event, we made a change to the location of the Marketplace to prevent players from gaining fellowship XP while trading or idling there. In the December Rollout Article, we said, "We intend to fix the code that allows fellowship XP to be shared between players who are not in the same dungeon." This month, we've made good on that intention.
==== Updated Items ====
* {{Icon Link|Green Mire Yoroi Cuirass}}
** New icon
** AL increased from 108 to 120.
** New spells: [[Endurance Other III]], [[Impenetrability III]].
* {{Icon Link|Green Mire Yari}}
** Dmg increased from 6 - 11 to 7 - 14 damage
** +2% attack added.
** [[Blood Drinker III]], [[Invulnerability Other III]]. [[Heart Seeker II]] raised to level III.
* {{Icon Link|Key (Green Key)}} - No longer has a use.
* {{Icon Link|Quintessence Sickle}}
** Dmg increased from 9 - 18 to 25 - 50.
** Attack/melee modifiers updated from +8%, +4% to +12%, +8%.
** New spells: [[Axe Mastery Other VI]] and [[Minor Blood Thirst]].
** [[Biting Strike]] added.


:As of this event, you will no longer receive fellowship XP from fellowship members:
* {{Icon|Basket (Brown)}} [[Basket]] - Now available in all colors:
:* If they are indoors while you are outdoors, or vice-versa.
** {{Icons | Basket (Black) | Basket (Dark Blue) | Basket (Blue) | Basket (Olive) | Basket (Purple) | Basket (Red) | Basket (Teal) | Basket (White)}}
:* If you are both indoors but in different landblocks.


:"Indoors" means inside a dungeon, or inside a building or cave on the surface. As almost all dungeons are in different landblocks, this means that you can no longer gain fellowship XP if you are in a different dungeon than the rest of your fellowship.
* {{Icon|Belt Pouch (Brown)}} [[Belt Pouch]] - Now available in all colors:
** {{Icons | Belt Pouch (Black) | Belt Pouch (Blue) | Belt Pouch (Green) | Belt Pouch (Olive) | Belt Pouch (Purple) | Belt Pouch (Red) | Belt Pouch (Teal) | Belt Pouch (White)}}
----


:In addition, we have decreased the maximum distance between fellowship members at which you can share fellowship XP. In the past, you could be about 8 map units away from each other and still receive full fellowship XP. (8 map units is the distance between 0.0N, 0.0W, and 8.0N, 0.0W.) After that, the amount that you receive would decrease slowly. For example, you could be about 48 map units away approximately the distance between Lytelthorpe and Al-Jalima and still receive 50% of fellowship XP.
=== New [[Spells]] ===
==== Updated Spells ====
* {{Icon Link|Recall to the Singularity Caul (Spell)}} - Now drops you at 98.0S, 94.7W instead of sending you to the middle of the island.
----


:Starting with this event, you must be within a little less than 2.5 map units to receive 100% of fellowship XP. After that it will drop off quickly when you are more than 5 map units away from your fellows, your fellowship XP will be at 0%.
=== New [[Titles]] ===
* No new titles this month.
----


:These changes are intended to reinforce the design of fellowships as groups of allied players, working together either in hunting or questing.
=== Portal.dat ===
:[[File:Portaldat 200401.png]]


'''PK/L Radar Blips'''
:We listened to the negative feedback that we received regarding the PK/L radar blip changes that were made in the November 2003 event. To improve the ability to correctly identify friend from foe, as well as determine the number of possible opponents, we're making the following tweaks:
:* Threat blips the X's have been made smaller so that they no longer overlap in confusing ways. They are now the same size as the standard blips.
:* Allegiance threat blips the X's on top of squares have been removed as they did not have the intended effect. Allegiance members are squares, no matter what their PK/L status may be.
'''Max Mana Spells'''
:There are several spells in the game that either increase or decrease a player's maximum mana. Many of these spells did not stack properly. This has now been fixed. Spells that increase or decrease your maximum mana should now stack based on the amount of their effect.
:Here's an example of how things should work now: If you have two spells cast on you, one which increases your maximum mana by 50 and one which decreases your maximum mana by 20, your total increase should be 30. If you then had another spell cast on you which increased your maximum mana by 80, it would override the increase of 50, and you would have a total increase of 60.

Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Are you able to recall to the Singularity Caul? If you are, you might consider yourself lucky. I've heard that the island has become much more deadly. What can it all mean?"
Town Crier tells you, "Have you been to the island that the Virindi invaded a few years back? No? Well from everything that I have been hearing, the Virindi have fled, and something else has taken their place. Something...not very nice."
Town Crier tells you, "I'll never get to that island in the southwest now. Why do I have to stand here and never hunt?"
Town Crier tells you, "I'm thinking that the island in the southwest is a diversion or something. But don't quote me on that. I've been parked here for over four years, and though I may talk about taking myself out into the wilderness to hunt, I think that we all know that I am more suited toward the art of talking more than fighting."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that a great warrior lost his way in the wilderness. I've also heard tell that he found his way again. It's said that his journey began in a place that bore two names."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that an enigmatic sage has moved onto a mountaintop outside of Kara. I wonder if there is any truth to it?"
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that Ecorto has been a little more talkative than usual."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that the Virindi have reinforced their hold on the dungeon that leads to the Singularity Caul. Why would they do that?"
Town Crier tells you, "If you're looking for the bracelet that Nuhmudira needed while trying to face down the Olthoi Queen, don't bother with the Singularity Caul. I've been told that the portal is now located on the Obsidian Plains. What caused that to happen?"
Town Crier Tells You " It Blew up! Huge columns of smoke blew into the sky and dropped hot ash from miles around....and....Okay...It didn't really "Blow Up" it just kind of Imploded"
Town Crier tells you, "It sat beneath the cover of brush. Stone still, until I approached, then it lunged at me, screaming and taunting me! I nearly died! What was it, you ask? I'm not certain, but it was terrifying!"
Town Crier tells you, "My little sister tells me that on her recent travels through the Shoushi she ran across several encampments of creatures guarding runed chests. I wonder what's going on?"
Town Crier tells you, "My brother said he was standing on the coast south of Ayan Baqur when a bright flash of light rose from the horizon followed by a billowing black cloud. He wasn't close enough to be harmed by it, but I wonder what occurred in the ocean down there."
Town Crier tells you, "Rumors are pouring in the the Singularity Caul has been transformed. If the things that I have been hearing are true, portals disappeared and reappeared here on Dereth, the Virindi have shored up the access way with much stronger residents...but...they fled the island. Are they trying to keep whatever is there hidden?"
Town Crier tells you, "The undead seem to be armoring up. For as old as it is, their armor appears to have held remarkably well through the ages."
Town Crier tells you, "They say in the Sho city that's rumored to have been an Aluvian settlement a great warrior removed his armor and left to find himself again."
Town Crier tells you, "Yes, it's true. We saved all of those pyreals that you've been handing to us for years and we finally had enough to buy ourselves a little slice of the world. Now we just need to get more people to take notice. Think you can give us a hand?"
