I've gone through the development forum yet again and this time we've added two articles to our Codex.

First off is a song written by René Bouchard about the Forgotten City of Ferongla.

You can find it here.

The second is another magical art, for those who've been following the Development forum it's been sitting there for a while now.

You can find it here.

That's all for this time.

Today it's been six months since Adylheim started. I'm not going to ruminate on the circumstances surrounding that opening and the various things that preceded, I've already written about that in my blog and rehashing it seems fairly pointless. Today is an important milestone though, it's said that the average lifespan of a pbp board is 6 months. The fact that we are still going strong (stronger than ever, in fact) is a good indication. Cue we will not go silently into that long night and such.

At such a point though, it strikes me as fitting to both look back and to look forward.

So, it's a new month, new opportunities as they say. I'm certainly looking forward to see what August has to bring this year. Though I'm sure you're not interested in hearing about that, for the inhabitants of Adylheim, the clock has moved forward one month into Gaernus, a month dedicated to the god of harvest, with a ripping big harvest festival and the whole nine yards worked into it.

Anyone who's been keeping an eye on the left side of this screen will no doubt have noticed that we have a bevvy of new articles added to the Codex.

Now you might have been wondering a couple of things lately. Such as 'where have the tabs on the website gone?' and 'why isn't Horo posting?' I can now tell you, these things are actually related!

I've been unhappy with our previous skin for quite some time, due to bugs and glitches in it. And then when we upgrade to the latest version of Drupal, which powers the website portion of Adylheim, even more stuff on it broke. So for the last couple of weeks I've been working on a new skin. Originally I was going to just make it like the old one except, you know, working properly.

It is my distinct pleasure to announce that we have added another member to our moderating staff. DEP has a keen interest in Grey Lake and the general Starkwater area, I believe. He's also expressed an interesting in promoting PC fame and infamy throughout Adylheim so we look forward to his contributions to the game.

It has taken a little longer than it should for us to land DEP, but now that we have him firmly on our staff, we're going to put him to work in the coal mi... urm, moderating threads and things. Yes, that's it. That's what I meant to type all along.
