4/18/2003 Glaesen Star Attacked
The good ship Glaesen Star, while on a routine voyage from Kharam-Dzu to Wehnimer's Landing, was recently attacked by krolvin raiders. Although the raiders were repelled by brave passengers under the leadership of Prince Eregrek Borthuum of Teras Isle, the ship suffered some structural damage. Repairs are underway, but transport between Kharam-Dzu and Wehnimer's Landing has been temporarily disrupted.

4/17/2003 MOONSHINE MANOR'S FLESH FEST
Are you tired of searching for inner purpose? Your chosen destiny? Perhaps you are tired of being confused about who you really are?

Are you an elf dedicated to the discovery of lost magic but don't know why? Are you a battleworn fighter with ten scars of unknown origin? Do you hate dwarves just because all your friends do, or is there another, more mysterious reason?

Moonshine Manor's staff is offering a fun and completely free interactive session to discover your inner self! Reveal those past secrets! Unravel long-forgotten mysteries! Learn your family history! Or...create it!

(Have you had problems creating that perfect background for your perfect character?

4/2/2003 AUCTION IN SUPPORT OF US TROOPS
On the evening of April 12th, at 10:30 EST, there will be an auction in the Wehnimer's Landing Moot Hall to benefit and honor the players of GemStone III who are currently serving in the military. This is an opportunity for anyone in the community to show their appreciation to the people among us who are either fighting in the Middle East or supporting our troops stateside. This is not an event that is in support of the war. This is an event in support of the troops.

Each item will be auctioned off by one of our military players and all proceeds from the auction will be divided between them so that each and every one of them can have a little more fun during their downtime in GemStone. The goal is to raise 5m silvers for each of them.

There will be auction items for all level players. There will be self-charging items, weighted swords, and padded armors. This is not a Simutronics run auction. It is a player run auction but many of the items sold will be of auction quality. Please check the Auction Topic in the GemStone III Forums (http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=30&category=10&topic=25) for further updates.

If you know of any members of the GS community who are in the military or you yourself are in the military, please write to [email protected]. We are still searching for members of the community who are currently serving. So far, thirty-five have been found.

Hope you all can come. Bid high. It's for a good cause.
