8 Godly Tips on Running Events
Secret: I hate running events. Well, let me put it this way. I stress out ridiculously when I’m in charge of a release event of any sort. There’s a lot I love about being an admin, but freaking out for hours over tiny lines of script that constantly defy me? That, to me, is less…

Read MoreComings and Partings
My mentor Shikari once told me that life in the Havens revolves around three events: the arrival of new ephemerals, the transformation of an ephemeral into an Elder God, and the resignation of an admin. The first event is exciting; imagine that your small organisation only received novices once or twice a year. How thrilled…

Read MoreNear Misses: Becoming Mysrai
I came this close to not being Mysrai. As the clock ticked down to the finishing of my area and I kept finding small details to wrap up for the release, I was all set to go to Hallifax. That’s right: I’m the reason you don’t have Jadice right now. I’ll wait for a bit…

Read MoreRed Star Rising!
The ominous red star that astrologers have been warning about has suddenly winked into view, raining a shower of fiery crimson motes.

Read MoreTo meet, and part, and meet again!
Meets are undoubtedly one of the high points in any situation involving long distances between folks who share the same hobbies. The internet is great, but sometimes you have to gossip about the latest in Hallifaxian drama in person… So we met! Zvoltz and I set out for Akron, and met Alary, Scax, and…
Read MoreHoom-ings: An IronCon Confession
This post is about recovery [1]. I haven’t really done much in Lusternia in two-ish years, maybe even longer. It isn’t like I haven’t done anything; I have done some things – mainly small stuff. But in comparison to the other volunteer administrators, and probably in relation to the work I am expected to…

Read MorePatronly Duties
Whether it is replacing lost keys or creating new additions to cities and communes, Patrons and the Divine Pantheons of our organizations have a wide variety of “jobs” that they do. However, the scope of patronly duties isn’t found in the instruction manual for new gods. I think of myself as a generally active administrator…
Read MoreFour Lovesongs to Fair Cities
I’m a city girl. I was born in the Midwest, in a city more renowned for snow than for the wide and varied gardens, broad, placid lakes, and the multitude of bookstores scattered across the glacial landscape. When I moved for the first time, it was to the outskirts of another city, one of the…
Read MoreThe Night Market
The paradigms rippled in the furious gale of reality, invisible but to the eyes of those trained in the secretive art of paradigmatics. Slowly, the realization begin to spread among the Illuminati that there was an immense force disturbing the paradigms. As they wondered of its source, a cloaked Illuminatus arrived at the Eternal Flame…
Read MoreValtreth: Dawning of a New Light
An otherwise quiet period of meditation and uneasy waiting was broken quickly for Azula Vivalde and Duchess Sidonie Kissane-McCloud of New Celest, their reveries interrupted by none other than the Supernal Japhiel. The Illuminator of Merciful Justice relayed to Azula and Sidonie visions of a great and terrible darkness, of a power that bespoke something…
Read MoreAn Exalted Exit
It was a cold morning on the eleventh of Vestian when the Exalted Lord appeared in the skies over New Celest. Drawn and grim, He called for the aid of the Architect, decrying the absence of Terentia and the lack of Her presence upon the First World. Zvoltz heeded the call of the Exalted Lord,…
Read MoreJuggling
What the average player might not appreciate about life in the Havens is that there are so many talents, so many people doing amazing things that have nothing to do with Lusternia at all. We have had many, many ephemerals and Gods in college, and several amazing eggheads in graduate school. We have had individuals…
