The first of Sarapin, 500 years After the Fall of the Seleucarian
Empire, draws ever closer. The current calculations are 4pm GMT/8am
PST/11am EST on January 22nd, this Thursday. We'll kick off the
beginning of the year with a treasure hunt. Dozens of giftbags will be
scattered all over the realm for you to find, with their contents
ranging from gold to commodities to herbs to minor artefacts. A few
lucky treasure hunters will find greater artefacts within their
giftbags. The Year 500 Lottery will also open on that day, with a choice
of $500 USD or 2000 credits as the grand prize.

Year 500 decorations, including banners, streamers, and bottles of Year
500 limited edition pear brandy, are now available at the Festivities
Annex in New Thera. Cheers!
