=== New [[Quests]] ===
* [[The Temple of Ixir Zi]] (Blackmire 1)
* [[Ulgrim's Bathrobe Quest]]


==== Live Events ====
* [[03/25/04 - Antius Blackmoor's Investigation]] - [[Antius Blackmoor]] appeared and spoke to a player in some detail about a device in the [[The Temple of Ixir Zi]] that he activated by mistake. The device opened the portals that released the Burun into Dereth.
:<font color=green>The great Blackmire Swamp in Osteth begins to boil. A visible wave of magic erupts from a small temple between the ruins of Yanshi and the city of Sawato. It spreads across the world rippling over the desert and the inland sea, stretching across Dryreach and the eastern shore until all of Dereth and the outlying islands has been touched. Still visible, the wave of energy strikes an unseen barrier. As the blood is siphoned from Strage Device's wound, magical energy filters into the archways. The room shudders with power.


:For a brief moment the scent of a fetid, decaying swamp assails the senses. A visible ripple can be seen around Dereth and the islands. As quickly as the wave arose it is gone, and a voice carries on the wind, "Ekta vaik av kintiku, ia avtu ikni livaik ekta ukri! Tik Vaiktu Kiktij, ikni zirku zikt Bur av akri. Klia mijik av iaktik, ikni iak av ixk."</font>

The great Blackmire Swamp in Osteth begins to boil. A visible wave of magic erupts from a small temple between the ruins of Yanshi and the city of Sawato. It spreads across the world rippling over the desert and the inland sea, stretching across Dryreach and the eastern shore until all of Dereth and the outlying islands has been touched. Still visible, the wave of energy strikes an unseen barrier. As the blood is siphoned from Strage Device's wound, magical energy filters into the archways. The room shudders with power.
For a brief moment the scent of a fetid, decaying swamp assails the senses. A visible ripple can be seen around Dereth and the islands. As quickly as the wave arose it is gone, and a voice carries on the wind, "Ekta vaik av kintiku, ia avtu ikni livaik ekta ukri! Tik Vaiktu Kiktij, ikni zirku zikt Bur av akri. Klia mijik av iaktik, ikni iak av ixk."
