Colberius X

Greetings, West Pacific! After the shocking success of our previous Werewolf game, we're inviting all our friends to the next one, and for the first time, it will be co-hosted by one of our Thanes of Culture, Laurentus, and our Jarl of Integration, Point Breeze! We could go on to explain what the theme will be, but we are of the belief that the premise will be a dead-giveaway. A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY. It is a time of peace and prosperity in the Galactic Republic. The Jedi Order is firm in their belief that democracy has been secured, even amid all the conflicts that occasionally arise. On a small garden world named Nika, events are unfolding that deeply disturb the handful of Jedi sent to investigate when contact is lost with the only large settlement known as Hatfield, and the distress beacon is activated. It is well known that the settlement lies on a recently-awakened volcano, and that the power estimated to be released when the volcano goes off will be more than enough to destroy the massive city. If this is what happened, however, why didn't the seismic detectors alert the settlers to the danger, and how could someone have activated the distress beacon? Meanwhile, the long-dormant Brotherhood of Darkness await the arrival of the hated Jedi, and prepare to strike a blow that will change the course of galactic history. We hope to see a lot of new faces there, and we even have a fully-functioning X-Wing starfighter up for grabs to the winners. The only catch is that you'll have to be encased in Carbonite for a few thousand years so we can build it. Just remember to sign up before 31 March, or you'll be thrown to a Rancor. I really hope you'll consider joining us for what's sure to be an amazing game!

You're quite welcome! I hope some of our friends in TWP can make it.

Wintreath is once again holding a game of Werewolf, and all of our friends are invited to join! I've participated in several rounds myself, and it's always a lot of fun. Here's a message from our Jarl of Culture, who's organizing this round: You heard it there from Chesty folks, this game should prove to be quite interesting since the players themselves will choose how it will go right down to the last detail. It's Werewolf VI: Choose your Own Werewolf! I hope you'll stop by the signups thread (found here) and take part! Signups will close on February 9th. I hope to see you there!

I hope that you all had a great holiday season and a happy New Years! Here's to another year of friendship between Wintreath and The West Pacific! - Ambassador Colberius X

How fascinating.

Also, who is Vlagh and what did he and Russo do that got everyone in a stir?

There are also half as many Guardians now... Thanks for the information.

I suppose so. But when I was last here, Darkesia was in charge. (I have some chocolate for her, by the way.) When did the delegacy shift to Russo?

Sorry for disappearing on you, real life got pretty hectic. But I'm back now! Now that I've loaned an endorsement to Mediobogdum, could someone please explain what I've missed? It seems like the regional leadership has shifted a bit, and then there's this whole DEN mess... I'd really appreciate a summary of things!

Wintreath Q&A: Ask Us Anything! If you have questions, we (might) have answers! Greetings to our friends in The West Pacific! Part of the purpose of regions establishing relations with each other is to learn more about them and their communities, and hopefully over time to grow closer and find commonalities to base further relations from. We send out news releases and invitations to help expose who we are as a region and what we do, but nothing beats directly answering questions! If you'd like, ask me anything about Wintreath! If it isn't a question I can directly answer, I will find someone who can and relay it back to you. I look forward to answering any questions that you might have.

I just post what I'm given. But I definitely see what you mean. I've changed it, but go ahead and alter whatever formatting you want.

Werewolf goes Old School: Some of the odd characters that appeared in the Kingdom last night. It's absolute chaos in the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom, as King Bowser Koopa uses a wand that opens portals throughout Mushroom Kingdom and alters the universe. Now ducks are flying throughout and spreading trouble, an ape has taken to high places and throwing barrels while holding Princess Daisy captive, and many of the peaceful toads have developed a strange desire: to deliver papers on a bicycle while avoiding pointless obstacles and the occasional obstacle course...all while avoiding the occasional angry Toad coming out of their home and chasing them for breaking their window. There's also the sudden emergence of heroes seeking golden triangles, a new fascination with karate and flying space ships, toads chasing others with whips claiming they're chasing vampires, and homes being destroyed by blocks seemingly appearing from space (and then disappearing when they touch)...but those things aren't important! What is important is that Mushroom Kingdom is in danger, and it needs your help. Can you do what it takes to stop King Bowser Koopa before the Kingdom is completely destroyed? Or will it become a wasteland of retro proportions? Stop by the castle if you wish to save the kingdom! Sound like fun? Stop on by Wintreath (a link is provided above) and sign up today!

Thanks for the tip!

Invitation to First Wintreath Hearthstone Tournament This is what our tournament would look like if we had a budget. Maybe next time? Greetings, friends of Wintreath!

For more about the event, please see the message below from the host of the tournament, Hugsim. If you're a Hearthstone player and are interested please consider signing up! We hope to see you there! Most sincerely yours, Inric Nordrim Kestar (Wintermoot I of Wintreath) Monarch and Founder of Wintreath
