    Greetings, Avatars! Starting tomorrow at noon, the Hamlet of Duanor will host its first fishing contest! In honor of this grand event, and despite our small size (i.e. only 3 NPC buildings and 4 NPCs), I would like to offer you the following amenities, all of which may be found by using any street sign in town to go to the Gazebo:

    • NPC banker;
    • NPC fishing supplies merchant;
    • The two fishing devotionals;
    • A mailbox;
    • A fish drop off box for the Duanor fishing contest below; and
    • The fish statue which turns the water to Fetid [and which is already placed]
    I will offer a prize for the largest and smallest fish caught in Duanor during the contest:
    • Largest Fish: fishing rod of prosperity and 1000 COTOS
    • Smallest Fish: fishing rod of prosperity and 1000 COTOS
    A benefactor (friend of mine) has just offered to sweeten the POT
    • 2 random people will be chosen from everyone who drops a fish in the box
    • They will receive 250 COTOS
    BUT, in addition, and in honor of Halloween, I have also set up a quest as a CROSS-OVER EVENT (@Elgarion). Before I give a little more information on the quest, however, I should mention the way I have set up Duanor. There are a number of different “settlements” which are reachable using the local street signs, each of which showcases the various styles of buildings and deco which we have in the game.
    • Watchaven has Human homes (like Viking, etc.);
    • Dynolva has Elven homes;
    • Cuthaun has Obsidian homes;
    • Minamoto Enclave has Oriental homes (I included the houseboat in this one as it is deco’d up in the oriental style); and
    • Zaghuzg has Kobold style homes
    (Yes, we have a very active Homeowners Association, lol.)

    The quest will not start until Friday evening at 8 pm. It will start in Watchaven where you must locate a ghost and talk to it.

    Prizes for the Quest: The first person to successfully complete the quest will receive:
    • Grim Reaper Mask (Vault Edition)
    BUT, we will also give out 2 more prizes, randomly chosen from everyone who successfully completes the quest:
    • Fleet Flute and 500 COTOS
    • Trout Fish Mask and 500 COTOS
    A big thank you, in advance, for visiting Duanor and participating in the Fishing Contest and, if you like, in the Quest! Have fun – and remember not to drink that fetid water! Yuk!

    Also, special thanks goes to ODE and The Lancermanes! They loaned a few items required for the quest, donated some of the prizes, and critiqued my skills with setting things up and writing dialogue for conversationalists. It’s nice to have a ‘team’ behind you. :)

    Oh - and I just realized I should add this. Duanor is *extremely* easy to get to! Take any Cross Continent Galleon to Noreach. Take one step once you've landed and you will be at the entrance to Duanor!

    It was brought to my attention that the "fishing chest" was not accepting fish! OOPS! I had moved the chest and it must've re-set to kindred. This has been fixed now. Big thanks to Warlord Borat [I don't think that is his forum name] for bringing this to my attention!

    And I'm shocked that not a soul has finished the Quest yet. It's not a hard quest guys - give it a try! That FIRST PRIZE for the quest is still available. . . .

    I suggest taking K'rawl out of the lava rotation as it takes two scene changes to reach and the small pool of lava reaches single digits after only a few casts.

    I want to thank all the fisher-folk who visited Duanor over this past week! And all of the people who tried their hand at doing the Quest. Next year at Halloween I might set up a different quest in which you figure out which of my 12 characters was the killer - and it might not be who my guild-mates would 'assume' did it!

    Tonight when I get home from work (might not be until 7-8 pm Central Standard Time) I will come back here and announce winners and mail out prizes!! Thanks again to all who fished and all who 'quested'!

    (Other trivia - I've always pronounced the name of my town Doo-ah-nor for those interested. But Dwaa-nor is fine, too!)

    I believe Cottage Grove has fetid water at the moment. Also: Where is Salem? It doesn't show on the searchable map.
