Scavenger Hunt!

[darstone]

Hello Lost Realm!

Starting on September 22nd, Darstone is going to be holding a city-wide scavenger hunt. The intention is mostly to further integrate the newcomers into the city, and help them to get to know the city itself, important people in the city, and one another. There will be fabulous prizes!

The characters will be given a list of items that they are supposed to seek out. They don't need to take the item, only find it and touch it to their mirror. And this is where you come in - we need clues for your characters.

The clues could be straightforward, or riddle-like. For example, one of the clues might be "a ring from the finger of a fish" - seems baffling at first, but if you know one of the fish trolls, you might easily guess that a ring on Eridan's finger would suffice. And you'd be right. It would also work for any of the other sea trolls, though, so it's entirely possible that a clue might relate to several characters, allowing someone to thread with any of them.

So you can consider this to be a sign-up of sorts. Post comments below with ideas for what items might work for your own characters (or other characters), and if you can think of a clue for it, please include it. The hunt itself is optional, of course, because characters are totally free to choose not to get involved, but don't assume that just because you don't post here that we won't have come up with a clue that could relate to your character. If you don't wish to participate at all, you're free to say that no one is able to find your character to claim their item.

We'll be choosing the winner out of those who participate in the plot. More details will come in the September 22nd News Post, and the event post as well.
