Thankful to @Kamaylie and co for welcoming me to Antioch with a cool ceremony. I'm out of the country and unable to be with family/friends for Thanksgiving, so it was nice to have a new, welcoming "home" on a day I'm feeling down. Very appreciated.
With an imperious wave of his free hand, Keyrix raises his lantern aloft. The energy inside the blackened stehl vessel begins to rattle within its confines, causing the lantern to spill forth murky light. The light gathers and begins to crackle just moments before shooting towards the sky and taking off unerringly in a single direction. Having tested the Ravenous One's patience, Nilo has been reduced to an empty, smoking husk, consumed by his lantern's tenebrous flames.
@Myrcella - Keeping Khandava together, always helpful, just a joy to have around.
@Lartus - My brother from another mother. You keep things interesting and fun. Never change.
@Tikal - You're fun, friendly, and helpful. I appreciate you.
@Drozogoth - You're the glue that keeps us...sticky? Stay sticky, my friend.
@Mathiaus - Our resident badass PvPer. You're always willing to help us casuals improve our combat, aid in group fights, organize group content, and push the fight forward. Keep being rad.
@Lachlan - Much helpful, so Australian. Will stop what you're doing to craft or assist or test for us. I envy you because you're tall, blonde, and ruggedly good-looking.
@Sparda - Determined, motivated, and always pushing for new tactics and systems. Keep at it!
Some more controversial folks that I nonetheless appreciate.
@Glijije - I have no idea how to spell or pronounce your name, and that's rad in my book.
@Javon - We've had our disagreements, but I must admit that without you...Imperian would be a less exciting place. You've forced me to adjust and grow in the way I play the game, and act as a unifying target for our council. You're not the villain we deserve, but you're the villain we need.
@Ryse - I you, so much. You're such a kind and caring person - a bright light in Khandava - so helpful and always willing to take care of everyone...your ideas are unique and well-thought out. I am so glad that you are here and grateful that you picked Khandava to be. You are my favorite squid-child.
C'mon Dec gets some love for this one...I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Oh the outrage! Well done.

Following
on the success of the recent auction, we've decided to have another!
But to keep it interesting, we're going to auction some one-time-only
new items to jump start the month. So, for the next 24 hours you can bid
on the following new items. Each is custom tailored to make life in the
cities and councils that much more interesting.
Bomb of Bureaucracy
===================
Upon signing the fuse:
- Civil servants of the city/council revolt due to unchecked bureaucracy
- Guards, shops, and arenas cease functioning
- House employees walk off the job
- Bank accounts are frozen
- Commodities are not generated or refined
- Effects last until the "Wheel Grease of Commerce" quest can be completed
Usurper's Dagger
================
- BACKSTAB a city or council leader to take their position
- Must already be a member of the city or council
Ruined Garden
=============
- Reminisce of days of past glory with a ruined garden addition to your home.
- A group of "Prisoners with Jobs" will go brave the fallen ruins of Stavenn and bring back items to fill your gardn.
- Pick your favorite rooms, remains, or treasures from Stavenn's glorious past
Token of Utopia
===============
- Tired of the same old boring cities? Leaders being a pain? Be your own boss!
- Create a city or council with your choice of location and circle (within reason)
- Land will slowly transform from a center point to a more urban environment. Watch your city expand before your eyes.
- Choose your own government style. Be dictator for life or appoint your minions to run in your stead.
- Beware of the Usurper's Dagger!
Letter of Blackmail
===================
BLACKMAIL a city official to get special privileges, based on who you blackmail:
- Leader - 500 City Credits
- Council Member - Gain city rank 5.
- Security - Immunity from guards for an in-game year
- War - Take a raid objective, obelisk or outpost immediately
- Steward - Get access to withdraw up to 1,000,000 gold from the city coffers
- Trade - Get 1,000,000 gold worth of commodities from the city store
- Culture - Get the fees from all arena events from a year
- Ambassador - Induction into the city
1) Due to a marvelous freak accident in my personal evolution, I choose to ignore trivial, time-wasting, useless things like "facts" and jump straight to the really, really interesting bits?
2) Ok, I'm a rockhead. There's one of us born every minute.

Be me, soloing Yagduth.
Nearly dead, when SURPRISE JAVON.
Run away, heal up.
Deathsight states “Javon has been killed by Yagduth”.
Brass balls, Javon. Brass balls.
