Last week, 6 of our Fellowship obtained their carpets from the infamous used-carpet salesman, El'Khazi of the Sinking Sands.  Congrats to our well-carpeted fellows!  Pictured from left to right - Trefrend, Nymbia, Mr. Bilsimelbacher (Nym's spirit companion), Serenity, Kethiir, Arrna, Quacker Yig the CXVIII, Tempre, and Layander.

This update's featured screenshot displays guardian Jhary Kenshura and his pet axe, Bloodbath, in Everfrost, showing his daughter Arrna how real guardians obtain calamari.

Last week, Annwen Winterblue hosted another storytime in her home on Bayle Court.  The sagely conjuror offered tea, conversation and lore concerning the dwarves of the Crystal Caverns, and a good time was had by all attendees.  Also this week, several of the Fellowship's raiders made their first journey into the Emerald Halls, and Shirrar Stennaj came back with a pair of Blessed Direwood Wristguards to remind him of the momentous trip.  Our red team raiders also led a successful foray against Lord Vyemn's forces, including main assist guardian Fenrir Valiantheart. 

Fennil Shimmerwing was promoted to the rank of Senior Fellow for all her contributions to the Fellowship.  Congratulations to our first fae on her promotion!

Shirrar is currently writing a play for Annwen to direct, and we can always use more actors!  The sign-up deadline has been extended to include the next week, while Shirrar writes the actual play.  Gossiping orcs have rumored the draft to be entitled, "Romeorc and Julifae", and to have something to do with star-crossed lovers during the War of the Fay.  Please speak to Annwen for details, and sign up (or offer suggestions) here.

Next week offers several events for our Fellows.  Monday evening, as always, is our Irontoes tavern night.  Join us in North Qeynos for informal chatting and a few drinks.  For Fellows 55+, Fenrir is hosting a Tuesday evening event to get everyone started on the epic Claymore series.  This series of quests ultimately ends (hopefully) in discovering the location of Qeynos' stolen Claymore, and in rewards grand and rare.  This event will take on the first two quests in the series - see the calendar for details.  Wednesday is our regular Red Team raid in the Courts of Al'Afaz, sponsored by Divinity.  Friday night offers a field trip into the great frozen fortress of Permafrost, suited for brave souls 45 and older.  Mentoring is encouraged, as always.  Fenrir will be leading this event through his ally, Veld.  Please ask either one for details.

Also, a special note to our full members - Please check the Candidates Journal.  We currently have four applicants up for vote.  This is YOUR chance to have input on the membership of the guild.  Please - let your voice be heard, and give us input on our future guildees.

Happy hunting, friends and Fellows!
