First, what the actual hey. How is it September?

Second, we love September! September means it's Achaea's birthday and we always have a lot of fun in store for everyone.

This year Achaea will be turning 25 years old. Let me say that one more time for the people skim reading in the back, Achaea will be TWENTY FIVE years old. That's a huge achievement.

I'm just going to give the basic overview of fun here, but see UPCOMING for a more specific list.

- Join us for a day of worldgames on the 9th, Achaea's official 25th birthday.

The Modern Gods Talisman Set (moderngods) - see also HELP MODERN GODS TALISMANS

Aurora - A tear of Ethian
THROW this tear and all in your current room and those adjacent will be unphased (including you). In addition, everyone unphased in your area will then be revealed as if they had been illuminated by a star sigil.

Babel - A wrap of lightless cloth
Wear this wrap and for the next five minutes all information about you will be concealed (on honours and other means to view the same information). It has a one hour personal cooldown.

Deucalion - A tattered swatch of ashen cloth
While carrying this cloth all of your non critical strikes against denizens not upon the prime plane have a 33% chance to gain a 5% damage bonus.

Neraeos - A Tritonic coin of salt-crusted silver
This coin will be consumed in place of gold when attempting to bribe sailors to throw your target off their ship. Bribes resolve much faster when handled in this way, and this talisman can be used twice before it is consumed.

Ourania - A comet-etched barb
While carrying this barb, meteor arrows you fire will strike your target even if they flee indoors. They must still be outdoors when you initially fire the meteors, and this only applies to arrows (not star tarot or similar).

Pandora - A prismatic eye of rainbow glass
You may drop this eye in a location. You may then GLASSEYE to look into that location as if you were standing there yourself. This eye will stay placed for 59 minutes, will be invisible once placed, and -does- bypass shimmering orbs.

Sartan - A cruel stalagmite fang
You may use this talisman against someone who considers you a mutual ally. When you IMPALE <target> WITH <this talisman>, you will take some of their health for your own.

Tlalaiad - A shadowy capsule
Turn this capsule and after a 12 second channel a paradoxical effect begins. Ten seconds after this effect, so long as you remain in the area where you initially activated the capsule, you will be returned to the location where you twisted it and your health and mana set back to what they were when the effect began. There is a five minute area wide cooldown on a capsule being used, and you must be alive when the effect resolves for the reset to take place.


TL;DR!

Pick up your polymegahedral dice at www.achaea.com/credits - Achaea is old - See UPCOMING for all the events!
