((I'm still working on the 'descriptions at the bottom' part))

Below is a calendar indicating special dates for the Qalasians. It's a shameless copy from an ancient Egyptian calendar. The fennecs followed it more-or-less loosely, except the dates highlighted, those were events/festivities strictly observed, with descriptions at the bottom.

  Hey folks! After quite a while with the familiar setting on the main floating islands in the RP, some big changes are now coming, and here's a summarized explanation of what's going on, both IC and OOC!

  In short, OOC, we are tearing down the floating islands and moving the RP to islands on the sea. The current Lismorean civilization will practically disappear, victim of an apocalyptic cataclysm that will change everything! ...if you have anything rezzed on the RP areas right now and want to pick it up so it doesn't get auto-returned, now is the time to do it! 

  In its place, islands at the seas will become the main RP areas. There will be a main island with a quaint medieval city on it and a vast underground community, and an island mostly with forests. The cultural aspects of the whole thing will be elaborated upon in more depth later once we're done with all the building.

  The fennecs' desert and Kun Qalasi will remain unchanged in regards to the rebuilding of the RP.

  IC, after years of fighting the enemy known ominously as The Fog, the dimension where Lismore existed will disappear. Where did it go? That's a mystery to be solved in the RP if you like! Just like that, they will blink out of existence. The portal they had connecting Lismore to Kun Qalasi will collapse, and couldn't be re-opened despite people's best efforts. ...which means any Lismoreans who were visiting the desert will be spared from going byebye with the rest of the place.

  Some other Lismoreans will escape the event through other means/explanations so don't feel tied to that one as the only way out if you don't want your characters to disappear. There's plenty of room for imagination.

  So, to install the new location and have it all built, we will temporarily move the entry point to the desert, which will remain active for RP in the meantime. If you need assistance coming up with ideas for why your character would be there, contact some of us in the staff and we'll gladly help.

  The main RP area will be closed this coming Thursday, December 23, 2021, and installation process of the new main RP area will begin and if all goes well should take about a week to have it all set up, but we have no timeframe yet on when it will be open for RP yet because that depends on a lot of factors, but with some luck, it should be good to go on the first week or so of January 2022.

  Have any questions, any comments, please post them below!
 

Osman presented the minotaur's skull to the fennec king Senusnet, who then had it mounted on the wall as a trophy, and then temporarily mounted on an outside wall where everyone can see and be proud of the achievement of their warriors!

Below is a list of those officially permitted to practice magic and/or wield magical artifacts in Kun Qalasi. These permits are issued by order of the King, or the Lord Vizier:

• Members of the Qalasian Priesthood.
• Qalasian Guards, with the captain of the guard able to grant temporary permits.
• The Blush Ramaus of King Senusnet.
• Members of the Royal Household.
• Sefu the apprentice wizard.
• Braheem the innkeeper.
• Daliyah Na'Varr Fu Sheng.
• Salamander, Sha'Khet mercenary.
• Jezebel, Sha'Khet mercenary.
• Kabir, Sha'Khet mercenary.
• Ellen Harwood, Sha'Khet mercenary.
• Vera Valentine, Sha'Khet mercenary.

Having got some initial reports on the incident, Empress Ariel dispatched emissaries to all corners of the Empire and neighboring realms, to assess whether they have experienced any effects in their territory as well or if it was something localized in the main Lismorean cluster.

(Azura specifically would be sent to New Eden to check on their status there. Anyone who wants to play an emissary checking out on the other territories please feel free to, just make sure to write a report back)

  Word would reach Lismore that the Qalasian fennecs now offer cocoa beans for significantly cheaper than the previous merchants did.
  The Qalasians have reportedly established portal-based trade routes with the source of the beans, undercutting other merchants who had to transport the commodity by ship across vast oceans.
  This brings forth the promise of a significantly cheaper cost for chocolate in Lismore, but also has angered merchants who previously had stakes on the product.
