1/22/2007 HOLY RECEPTACLE (325) RECEIVES FIFTH TIER
This spell imbues a gem with the ability to convert another player to the Cleric's deity. Once created, the Cleric WAVEs the gem at the person they wish to convert while chanting an intercession on their behalf. That player becomes attuned to the gem. The player then needs to be given the gem so they may continue the ritual. Once the player feels they are worthy to begin making sacrifices to the deity, the player RUBs the gem. The gem will shatter and a coffer should appear, ready to accept silver offerings (via the PUT # SILVERS/COINS IN MY COFFER command). Once a sufficient (and substantial) offering has been placed within the coffer, the player should then bring the coffer to a shrine of the deity and OFFER the coffer to the deity to complete the ritual.

Players may convert to deities within the same pantheon (Liabo, Lornon and Neutral) as the deity of the Cleric if the player has two other sufficiently powerful Clerics of the same pantheon cast Holy Receptacle at the gem.

Requirements: Blessing Lore 50 skill/10 ranks, Religion Lore 120 skill/30 ranks, and Gem Value >=4001.

1/19/2007 LANDING TOWN ASSEMBLY RESCHEDULED
Due to circumstances beyond his control, Mayor Stennis will be unavailable for the "Town Assembly" scheduled for the evening of the 19th of this month. With deepest regrets and apologies, the Mayor has requested that the "Assembly" be moved to the evening of the 26th. In the meantime, the Mayor will continue his investigation into allegations of impropriety on the part of the constable. All citizens of Wehnimer's Landing are invited to attend the rescheduled "Assembly" to discuss issues important to the future of the town.

(Citizens may suggest items for the "Assembly" agenda by posting in the Wehnimer's Landing folder of the message boards.)

1/8/2007 CLERIC AND EMPATH FORUM

1/8/2007 BUYER BEWARE
GemStone IV operates in a "buyer beware" economy. When visiting merchant shops, use the tools provided to get an idea of what you are purchasing, namely any posted signs and the INSPECT verb. Though keep in mind, many merchant shops intend to keep an air of mystery about their wares. All shop items are sold as-is and no refunds or changes will be made, unless there is an error in how the item is constructed.

When making a purchase from another player, there are several ways everyone can protect themselves from getting scammed, such as asking to see the note or contents of a container before buying, getting a bard to LORESING, having a warrior ASSESS, casting Elemental Detection, and using one of the magic crystals (such as the one in the Abandoned Inn). In order to avoid someone running off with your money before handing over an item, use the EXCHANGE verb. All buyers are responsible for protecting themselves from dishonest dealers, so it is a good idea to check into the reputation of a seller when making a large investment of silvers. Remember, if something seems too good to be true, it most likely is!

1/8/2007 PAUPERS INDUCTIONS FIRST VOLNES OF THE MONTH
House Paupers will be holding their monthly inductions at 9:30 PM Elven on the first Volnes (Monday) of every month. If you can wield ora, have 20,000 silvers in the bank, and are looking for a good home, please meet us in TSSE. Do not bring your silvers with you, as we will be making a group run to the bank before we start. Welcome to Paupers!

1/8/2007 TWILIGHT AND WILLOW HOST A MAGIC ITEM EXCHANGE
Twilight Hall and Willow Hall invite all rangers, casters of minor elemental magic, and users of magical items to come to our monthly magic item exchange.

The event will be held on the fourteenth of every month at 9:00 PM in Wehnimer's Landing by the elven time. Odd months the event is held at Willow Hall. Even months please find the event at Twilight Hall.

Participants may bring sticks, bark and wiregrass to use and share, but a quick field trip can be taken for those who need tips on where to find these things. Questions on foraging, imbuing and imbedding will be answered informally. Rangers will imbue sticks, bark and wiregrass. Casters of minor elemental magic will then imbed these items with the spells requested by the magic items users. Adventures of all professions can expect to benefit from this free exchange of skill and information.

1/8/2007 A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
For long years, worshippers have served the Arkati in privacy behind the walls of many of the Great Houses of Elanthia. Through the faith of these loyal followers, the altars of the Houses have been blessed.

Sacred spaces in the Great Houses are now valid shrines for purposes of weapon bonding and paladin spells that require a shrine. However, because the Houses are protected against intrusion, the Paladin spell Aid the Fallen (1620) cannot be anchored within House walls.

1/1/2007 CLERIC AND EMPATH FORUM
On January 8th, 2007, at 9:00 PM EST, the Cleric and Empath Development Team will be holding an Open Forum. The purpose of which is to create an additional avenue for players to express suggestions and concerns of their profession outside of the message boards. No new information will be released or discussed during this time. The atmosphere will be laid back and all are encouraged to attend.

Portals will be placed outside the cleric and empath guilds in each town fifteen minutes prior to the start.
