Take the time to read room and mob descriptions carefully.
There are often hints which give clues about hidden items, quests or warnings about particularly dangerous areas. - Riviat

On Thursday November 27, 2008 there will be four HoGs in celebration of American Thanksgiving.
8 AM - ALL tiers, no CR, no save, no BZK help, you're on your own
12 Noon - 1 hour, random tier changes. (might be set to mortal, changed to
lord, changed to hero, every tier will have some time over the hour. No save.
8 PM - mortal hero only, CR help optional per normal rules
10 PM - lord only
What a joyous occasion it is today! It is my 24th birthday! However, now is
not a time to celebrate. As I was travelling throughout Midgaardia,
I was knocked out at some point in the Valley of the Sun. When I came to,
some mobs had stolen the birthday candles from my cake. I spoke with Aelmon
later and he informed me they were scattered throughout several hero areas.
I did not want to overwork myself to retrieve the candles on my birthday
so I bought a new pack of candles for my cake. The original candles are
still out there however. Though the heat from Valley of the Sun may have
melted them a bit, they may still prove to be useful for you heroes.
There are 24 in all in honor of my 24th birthday.
Thieron
*** NOTE: Please use only heroes for this quest. ***
Update:
Thieron thanks everyone for retrieving his candles. While most of them were retrieved, a few weren't found in time and dissipated.
Many thanks to Thieron for holding his first quest, and we look forward to many more!

Schema's Cryptoscramble!
Introducing Schema's Puzzle of the Week!
Kicking off my puzzle of the week line will be a cryptoscramble.
Few things first though - some general rules regarding puzzle of the week
1. Each month, the highest performer will receive an additional prize
This will be determined by a simple rating system, scoring 2 points for
completion, 3 for 3rd, 4 for 2nd and 5 for 1st.
2. Submission is one per player, not one per alt, any abuse found
to this end will result in disqualification, possibly permanent.
3. Collaboration between players is allowed, but keep in mind that in the case
of ties, prizes will be lower than should a single person win - though
the average prize should be the same.
4. Prizes not yet determined for this one.
Without further ado... the cryptoscramble
Qzueeg-bydul cu et hebyfii za e puisteri quezeg ut greepe. Cutfaws,
Famjacw met Cuby pixe crux "drufuwe".
A cryptoscramble is a combination of a cryptogram and a scramble.
You can look those up if needed, or ask me if you see me for clarification
For this puzzle, the following hints will be given:
1. There is no first person.
2. In this puzzle, vowels are all represented by other vowels.
3. Capitalization correspond to the result, not to that specific letter.
4. Letters are NOT scrambled between words, hyphenation indicates two words.
Good Luck, will give more hints in note form, if seems necessary
Please DON'T ask for personal hints.
Submit your answer to board 2. Deadline is, as expected, a week!
Schema.
Revision changes:
a M in 2nd sentence, 2nd word was replaced with a C due to a mistake on my part

Imperion, Chapter Two today!
The destruction of the newly forming Imperion forces has provoked an extreme response from the General, and ultimate leader of the Imperion. His vast army of clerics and priests has cracked a seal deep within the Void between worlds and brought forth a proving grounds for his troops.
These newly initiated Imperion armies will swamp the entirety of the Realm unless their leaders can be destroyed. Each of the four members of the Imperion Council controls a portion of the training, and all must be defeated before this threat will be averted.
What type of death and destruction will Skorn dream up for the Lords? Only time will tell!
All lords are welcomed to participate, November 8th, at 1:00 PM EST.
