World of Caenyr what's uuuuuuuup! I know, it's been half a year since my last "monthly" update
but the good news - that doesn't mean there's been nothing to update about! Quite the opposite in fact, it's truly been an incredible first half of 2010 for World of Caenyr. Let me do my best to sum up all of theactivity as concisely as possible. :-)
First I want to start with the players because our community is what we are all about! Severalplayer conventions have taken place since my last update, all three of them in Chicago (go figure, that place is a Caenyr hot spot!) Photos fortwo of the conventions have just been posted to our MySpace fan page and the recent convention pics will be up by the next update. I was personally able to attend one of the conventions and I had a blast! You guys never cease to amaze me when I get to meet you in person! In other player news we have had a lot of new players join our great world and many returning players too. It's half a year's worth so bare with me andapologies up front for anyone that I've missed (I'm sure there are some!) But here it goes, welcome to World of Caenyr!
New Players: atasha, Padril, Jezebeth, Dra'Dilidil, Alyssa the Blind, Bree Avalon, Ataneq, clown1231, Jack02, daydreamer, Kelsryke the Happy, Myra, Alistina, Josh, Kossuths_Will
Returning Players: Yividnir, Verguile (yay!), death_light, Kall, Breakdown, Yithare/Neji, Shayleigh, She'reena
(Tallman), Elias Aristes
On a sadder note we have had to say goodbye to a dear friend and long time Caenyrite, Arzhael. Real life has
hit him in a very difficult way so he needed to step back from Caenyr to deal with it. I can't thank him enough for all of his great contributions as both player and Dungeon Master, not to mention his friendship. You will be missed my friend, we all wish you the best.
Sowhat has been going on with roleplay in Caenyr? A ton! One of the biggest player driven & DM supported events that has taken place, and is still ongoing, is the Genocian conquest of Tendril. The Legion invaded like a deadly storm from the south, causing death and destruction in their wake and have now renamed their newly acquired
lands as New Genocise. Already the black skies of Genocise, the reach ofMelivar himself, stretches north over the once blue heavens of Tendril.With Tendril now in his grasp it is certain the Overlord has Chail in his crosshairs. But the people of Tendril have not completely given up hope! A "resistance" has formed and caused a lot of problems for Legion operations in New Genocise. A mighty Dwarf named Drick seems to have taken the resistance lead after his home was destroyed during the attack, and people are rallying to his side. And there's another powerful influence that has once again appeared to help rid the world ofan evil menace as they have so many times in the past - The Righteous! Caenyr's newest player guild that has stepped in after the fall of the
Ban Curaidh during the invasion. Zaheir Fashad runs this guild so if you are interested in joining please contact him or post on their public forum.
While the battle rages on down south, up in Chail there has been no lack of player or DM driven activity either. The dispute between the King's Royal Lancers and the Black Hand had escalated to a point of near war at the gates of the Black Hand Stronghold but oddly a deal was struck that made the Black Hand step down from their position
and release the prisoners they had been holding. Now the Black Hand has evolved in an even stranger and more unexpected way, recently appointed as a new army of Chail alongside the Lancers by the Regent, Lord Alakin.
How will these two armies manage working side by side in defense of the Kingdom? Will they ever trust one another? Should they?... And if that conflict wasn't enough the Itheril of Har'oloth have also seized an
opportunity to attack the Kingdom from within, rising up and conquering Menthor's Temple in the Northern Etaric Forest. While the Black Hand keeps watch over Chail's borders the Lancers face this internal threat head on. But there's even more, the strange presence of a figure named Thor who had sent the citizens of Chail on a hunt for precious artifactsthat eventually provided him with maddening power and the result was a large explosion that caused severe damage to Chail-Anden and surroundingparts of the city. The greatest damage was to the Goblin Caves, their home in ruins.
I could go on and on there is definitely so much more but that is some of the major activity. Overall I just have to say THANK YOU to the players who have driven and lead so much of this roleplay and the DM's for their leadership and support of the player actions, enhancing the roleplay environment and experience.
Two other major events that have occurred over the last few months need to be mentioned. The giant v26 module update that so far has released in two phases and still has a third phase to be released soon! So far this update has brought tot he world - holdables, pets, a tattoo shop, custom item crafting and a LOT of updated and new areas including player houses, guild houses and the addition of the Jraag Desert areas with ournew desert tileset. Coming in the third phase of the release - return of the Frozen North, Sea Battle Campaign, music shop, a Vampyre city and much much more. Stay tuned...
The other major event I mentioned- our 8 year anniversary!!! That's right, in May we turned 8 years old and we celebrated this occasion in a big way. For several weeks I put up old versions of the module for players to experience and even ran some tours to talk about Caenyr's past. The three additional modules that I hosted were the ORIGINAL version of the module, the version with the now fallen Kingdom of Zenegral and the once secondary module for the continent of Tyrania. Players had a great time exploring and learning about the past and the DM's even ran a few action packed events there. Then on our birthday weekend there was a huge in-game parted hosted by me that will definitely go into the Caenyr books as one of the best times ever!
