September is here, and this means Achaea is 21 years old (officially on the 9th), how incredible is that?!

This month is going to be full of all sorts of things, and I'm going to lay out as many as I can here now!

On the 9th of September a special command will unlock to allow everyone logged in to earn a small birthday gift.

We'll have three rounds of lotteries running this month!

Lottery 33 (LOTTERY INFO 33) will be live very shortly and will be drawn on the 10th of September.

The second lottery will start shortly after 33 is drawn, and will run until the 20th.

The third lottery will then open and be drawn at the end of the month!

Keep an eye on UPCOMING and the Announce news for more details of the specifics of these lotteries!

The Wheel of Fortune will be spinning again in the casino at New Thera!
After a time logged in each day you can go to the Wheel and SPIN WHEEL for a free prize!
If you complete your daily spin 21 times during September, you'll earn a Spin Token!
Once per day every active* player can purchase a Spin Token in game for 25 bound credits with SPINS BUY. Up to a total of 21 spins throughout September!
Spin Tokens can be purchased from the website at www.achaea.com/credits
Spin Tokens can be used at the Wheel with SPIN WHEEL [WITH] TOKEN!
WALK TO CASINO to get to the Wheel of Fortune easily!

* Active means the same conditions that determines org credit sale and voting eligibility.

Prizes you can win with the free daily spins are:
- Critical hit bonus
- XP bonus
- Experience
- Lessons
- Wheel spin tokens
- Credits
- Rare minerals

Prizes you can win from the Spin Tokens (bought from the website, won on the wheel, earned via daily spins, or purchased via the in-game command) are:
- Various credit prizes
- Interlocking caches that open for Elemental or Yggdrasil sets.
- Statistic and general purpose artefacts
- Artefact pipes
- Racetrack tickets
- Phials of shimmering ink
- Spin tokens
- Pages for the Tome of Muses (see HELP TOME OF MUSES)
- Bloodstained shards of enamel for the locket (HELP PROMO ITEMS)
- Artefact vials
- Ice figurines
- Lessons
- Artefact discount vouchers
- Artefact upgrade credits
- Decorated sleeves bearing cards from the legend deck, including the new Ancients Suit!

The Ancients Suit is themed for denizens who have been present in Achaea since the very early years:

Vellis the Butterfly Collector
DRAWing this card will pull people down from trees or flying elevation!
This card has 4 charges and recovers 1 per hour.

The Black Boar
DRAW this card to give everyone in your group (including yourself) level 3 health regeneration!
You must be the leader of the group when you draw this card.
Duration of regeneration will be between 3-5 minutes.
This overrides other forms of levelled health regeneration.
This card has 2 charges and recovers 1 every 2 hours.

Seasone the Druidess
DRAW this card FOR ELIXIR or FOR POISON!
Poison will hit everyone in the room with two hits of loki (including yourself)
Elixir boosts your health elixir's effectiveness by 10% for 5 minutes.
This card has 3 charges and recovers 1 per hour.

Rurin the Crafter
DRAW this card to restock a denizen shop to maximum capacity!
This only works for shops where you use WARES not ASK <denizen> WARES.
This card not affect the Itinerant Bazaar or commodity shops.
This card has 1 charge and will recover it 2 hours after use.

If you collect all four of these cards you'll earn the Joker of the Suit, the Sheep!

The Sheep card boosts the charges and reduces the cooldowns of the cards in this suit!

See HELP WHEEL OF FORTUNE for all of this information!

The residents of Adryn's Keep are getting ready to host their tournament! If you're a city official keep an eye out during the 8th of September for Lord Adryn to arrive in your city with more information, and be ready for the tournament to kick off on the 9th!

The Itinerant Bazaar will be returning to Achaea later in the month, and we'll be seeing which city can claim the Effigy of Victory in our CTF, Game of Eyes variant!

See UPCOMING for a live countdown of all of these!

Also keep your ears cleaned so that you don't miss the jubilant and most noisome... I mean, noisy summons from our favourite announcer, Tharos! He'll be running a variety of games throughout the month for young, old, large, and small alike.

Enjoy and we'll see you all at the CTF!

Penned by My hand on the 4th of Daedalan, in the year 780 AF.
