Hi folks!

By some awful twist of time we are 1/3 of the way through 2026 already and as we look ahead to the final few Year 1000 events, the Staff Games loom on the horizon! Make sure to check UPCOMING for all the dates and schedule here!

Also this is a reminder that the Art/Bard contest and the Shop Lottery will all be closing on May 11 at 5AM by the Achaea clock!

Meanwhile, we welcome back Globes of Shifting Continents to the Achaea website!

Globes contain a variety of prizes, including:

- Unbound credits.
- Talisman caches containing pieces from the Death, Invasion, and Underworld sets.
- Card sleeves which can be unwrapped for any suit, including the new Fracturedstaff* suit.
- Mayan crowns.
- Bloodstained shards.
- Artefact discount vouchers.
- A range of artefacts valued from 50 credits all the way up to the 2000+ range.
- Free reincarnations/trait resets(**).
- Additional tradeskill slots(**).

* The Fracturedstaff suit is the third in our series of our new suits commemorating the first fifteen Staff bearers! This suit is part of the Champions collection and includes the following cards:

Tesha Young
- Draw this card and afflict all denizens present with aeon.

Farrah Roualt
- Draw this card and bestow a probability effect upon the location, causing those who resurrect via starburst to have a chance to strip starburst from others present.

Crixos, the Quiet
- Draw this card against a denizen target and afflict them with inhibit.

Imyrr Invictus
- Draw this card and consume 80 battlerage to fully heal all adventurers present.

Veldrin Crescent
- Draw this card and your next cataclysm vibration will enjoy six room range instead of five.

All cards in this suit have 1 charge and generate a new charge every 1 hour.

** You will not receive free reincarnations, trait resets, or additional tradeskill slots if you already have a means by which to reset your race/traits via artefacts or other means in the former's case, or have 3 or more bonus slots already in the latter's case. You'll receive a different prize instead.

Upon opening a globe you will also receive a bonus to experience, battlerage generation, or critical hits! There is also a chance to receive consumables!

In addition, the 500th globe bonus prize will award 500 bound credits!

For globe buyers who have an Iron Elite membership, every 10 globes you buy earns you a free globe. This is cumulative across purchases, so if you buy 3 globes today and 7 globes next week, you'll still get your free globe!

Capping renown 7 times throughout the month of May will award you one free globe! This is not repeatable, however.

Enjoy!
