THE YEW TIMES - A Newspaper for Sosaria Submitted by UO_Herald on November 27, 2012 at 3:41 PM CST Originally posted 2012 Nov 27 16:52 -0500 GMT by Tim Chappell on the UO Herald: Written by members of the community Issue 10 WORLD NEWS GRAVESITE PLUNDERED The town guard is looking for information regarding the recent disinternment of a local man's body from the Yew cemetary. Jethro Mctavish had been buried three days prior, and there is no indication that the corpse had been defiled in any way. However, locals are convinced that the responsible party was looking for McTavish's coveted fried turkey recipe which he swore that he'd take to the grave with him. No additional leads have been pursued so far in the case. To read the full article on the forums, click HERE.

The Light of Ocllo Submitted by Martyna_Zmuir on November 8, 2012 at 10:25 PM CST Originally posted November 8th, 2012 by EM Elizabella on the Great Lakes EM Site: The Bastion of Light stole two blackrock prisms and took them to Ocllo, with plans to gain political control of the island. Chaos Star found out and is planning to attack! The outcome of the battle will have an effect on the two groups and the leadership of Ocllo in the future. Saturday, November 10th, 8 p.m. CST, two moongates will open near the Felucca Britain moongate. If you want to help the Bastion of Light, go through the one on the left. If you want to help Chaos Star, go through the one on the right. You will arrive at a house where you can sign up by putting your name on a message board. Then go through the gate in front of that house right into battle! Each side is entrenched in a ruined old guard tower. You can try to protect your tower or attack the other side’s tower. Control of a tower is symbolized by dyeing the pennant of that tower. Dye the pennant yellow for Bastion of Light, red for Chaos Star. Use the cauldrons of boiling wax next to each pennant for this purpose. Points are awarded for the amount of time a pennant is dyed a particular color, with extra points for whatever color it is at the end. The battle will last one hour. Registered combatants from whichever side wins will have their names in the Felucca Award Hall. If you sign up on both message boards, the earlier one will be considered your side. If it cannot be determined which was earlier, neither will count. [Discuss This Article]
