Submitted by Martyna_Zmuir on October 10, 2015 at 1:23 PM CDT Originally posted October 6th, 2015 by EM Elizabella on the Great Lakes EM Site: From Malachi and my first moments as Event Moderators, in December 2008 and December 2009 respectively, we were excited about crafting stories that would come alive with the help of the players of Great Lakes.

Voices Submitted by UO_Herald on October 8, 2015 at 7:44 PM CDT Originally posted October 8, 2015 by UO Dev Team on the UO Herald: We are happy to release the final installment of our fiction leadup to the Time of Legends!

He was on a deep cover assignment, punishment for a politically inconvenient incident involving some new allies called the Meer. For almost a year, Grey had worked his way into the criminal syndicates of Britain, meeting their members and learning their methods. Magnus took a rusted lantern and used the dim light to guide him to a room hidden behind the barrels and crates. After slipping inside, he carefully raised his hands as a crossbow was pressed against his neck. “I’m here for a hearty stew.” To read the full story on the forums, click HERE.
