Written by: Razmael, the Synthesist

Addressed to: Everyone


October is Aetolia's 14th Anniversary and we've packed in some events and prizes to celebrate!

I've tried my best to convert the times from GMT to a few other timezones (USA East/EDT, London/BST, and Australia East/AEDT) but fair warning I may have goofed! For the most accurate timing, refer to the GMT time or check the EVENTS countdown.

Artisanal/Bardics
-----------------
Rather than run the Artisanals and Bardics on a schedule, we've decided to switch to doing them for special occassions with a theme - and our 14th Anniversary will be the first of these! You have until the the month ends to submit your entries through our website. Read HELP ARTISANALS and HLEP BARDICS for more information.

The theme is: Horror.

PvP Starfall
------------
Pretty straight-forward, a Starfall event with PvP and No Sharing turned on. Being killed gives half your meteors to the person who killed you. Read HELP STARFALL for more details.
