Kingdom Heroes "Smash" Zibong, Insurgents Posted by: Maron -- 12:44 AM EST

Hey folks!

Thursday evening, representatives from each of the Three Kingdoms coordinated strikes from their respective cities, advertised in the posts seen on Community Events board:



Board : Community Events

Author : Amatus/Baltzen/dee

Subject : Zibong Slash/Smash

Date : 9/10



Citizens - We have had enough. It is time for us all to gather together and work on ridding our Kingdom of these Zibong infested commoners.



Tonight - Thursday 9/10 at 9:30pm EST





The Citizens of Buya/Koguryo/Nagnang will gather on the Palace steps. Together we will adventure out throughout the Kingdom to slay as many infested commoners as we can. Please come prepared with your Shaman Charm.



See you there!







Some encouraging words were saged by kingdom officials leading the fight.





While the Kingdoms fought, legendary brothers KaMing and KaKhan staged an epic battle between Sonhi Nomads and Insurgents in the Eastern Gobi Desert. While some expected to return home after fighting in their respective Kingdom, Queen Lasahn urged her people to investigate this Sonhi skirmish.





Those interested in following Queen Lasahn and Queen Yun into the Desert would struggle to navigate the old road from KaMing's Encampment, more so to meet each other in the face of overwhelming Insurgent forces marching upon the Desert Steppe.



Roughly thirty paces from the western edge of the Eastern Gobi Desert Steppe, KaKhan himself joined the battle, targeting those nearest Queen Yun and slaying anyone he could. This included Visionary Maduin, which would be a fatal mistake for the Revenant Overlord.



Seeing their leader defeated, the remaining Sonhi Insurgents that were not crushed by their invigorated foes soon retreated, and the victorious were called home. Particularly in Koguryo, those that returned to the Palace steps were celebrated.



While the Stygian Order and Zibong Calamity have departed from the Kingdoms, evil may persevere and present conflict once again.

Nexus Atlas News will make an effort to let you know if or when it does!

No more Zibongs - the kingdoms are safe again Posted by: Vini -- 2:45 PM EST

After 10 weeks terrorizing the lands, the Zibong spirits are finally gone from the kingdoms. No more Stalker Zibongs approaching you randomly, no more Scout Zibongs summoning you around. Today is the first day since early July that people can walk around safely without wearing shaman charms and not get targeted by the evil spirits. There's a new post at the Whispering Winds bulletin board summarizing the events that lead to the end of the Zibong Calmanity. Here is a copy of it:



BOARD TITLE: Whispering Winds

FROM: NexusTK DATE: 9/11

SUBJECT: The end of the Zibong Calamity

The Zibongs are gone. After weeks trying to put an end to the calamity that inflicted the kingdoms, citizens of the three kingdoms combined efforts to fight off the remaining plaguing Zibongs.



Meanwhile, a massive battle took place at the East Gobi Desert Steppe. KaKhan led a huge Insurgent army through the desert to take over the stranded Sonhi Camp. The Sonhi soldiers led by KaMing tried to fight off the Insurgents but the difference in numbers was massive. KaKhan commanded thousands of insurgents, while his brother KaMing had only hundreds of soldiers standing their grounds.



It would have been a certain defeat for KaMing's people, but Queen Yun, Queen Lasahn, and Princess Sutsang joined forces in a campaign to ward off the Insurgents from the Gobi Desert. Fortunately for KaMing, there is an old western proverb which says, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". When Koguryo forces defeated KaKhan in battle, the remaining Insurgents retreated from the Desert.



With the downfall of the "Revenant Overlord" and the Zibongs kept back, the commoners were finally safe to return to their homes and resume their regular activities. For once in a long time, peace finally reigns back in the kingdoms. Nevertheless, with the Necromancer Jieut still on the loose, this probably won't that be the last time people hear from KaKhan.

The Nexus Atlas team is working on a detailed report of the events that occurred yesterday evening that led to the defeat of KaKhan and the Zibongs. Stay tuned!

New Primogen of The Forsaken Posted by: Vini -- 11:33 PM EST

There has been another shift of leadership in the kingdoms today as Primogen Asoma has announced that she was stepping down from Primogen of the Forsaken after six Hyuls serving the clan. She chose her Primarch Keiara as her successor in hopes to continue the good work she has put towards the clan. Keiara has been in the Forsaken clan with multiple passages but also was a member of the Silla Clan and Heavens Clan in the past. She returned to the Forsaken almost a year ago and hopefully will serve them for many years to come.







Nexus Atlas congratulates Primogen Keiara on her newest position and wishes Asoma good luck on her next endeavors.

New Director of the Shining Jewel Foundation Posted by: Bunker -- 12:16 AM EST

The Director's touch as been passed

This evening the Shining Jewel Foundation has appointed a new Director, as Baltzen passes his torch to Altar. Nexus Atlas would like to congratulate her and acknowledge all of her hard work within our community. Thank you for all that you do!







Baltzen, who is the current Buya Ministrer and was the previous SJF Director stated;

"It is with great pleasure that I announce the passing of the Director's torch to Artisan and Poet Tutor Altar. I am proud to have served as Director and look forward to the new vigor that Altar will bring to it!"



Altar, the new Director of the SJF provided this quote for us;

"I'd like to raise awareness of the SJF and the services we provide, and also recruit people who want to actively help others. The more help we can provide, the better!"



For those who may not know about what the SJF is or what it's goals are, here is a post from the SJF board:



-------------------------

Purpose and Goals

-------------------------



Headquarters Location: x08/y09 Buya Palace.



The Shining Jewel Foundation is the pinnacle of Buyan charity. It was founded during the Blood War, where its headquarters became a place of refuge from the fighting. Later, the Shining Jewel Foundation bolstered its resources and began to help citizens in need.



In its most basic form, the Shining Jewel Foundation exists to help people within our lands. This is accomplished through a variety of nonprofit means. Programs include: Newbie spell packages and gifts, quest assistance, giveaways, donor rewards, SJF Membership, and much more.



One of the Shining Jewel Foundation's core goals is to promote Buyan culture throughout our lands. This is accomplished not only by helping others - but by offering the collective talents, facilities, and resources of the Imperial Ministry. We will aid any organization or nation; they need only ask. This includes providing sponsorship money for events which focus on Roleplay, Community Assistance, or Cultural Events.



Additionally, the headquarters of the Shining Jewel Foundation will always be a refuge to those seeking asylum from the fires of war or the harshness of our world. Our roof will always be available to provide protection to the lost or downtrodden, as this is the very spirit of the Foundation.



With these goals in mind, the Shining Jewel Foundation will be here for those who need it - always.



If you need help, feel free to reach out!



Although originally established as a Buyan program, the SJF has recently become it's own thing in order to reach more young people and there's word they will move from the Palace in Buya to the Wilderness in the future.



If you are one who enjoys helping checkout the SJF, located (for now) in the Palace at Buya.

Diviner Ritual of Sealing Posted by: Maron -- 12:58 AM EST

Hey folks!

It was announced earlier this week by Visionary Celindon that a "Ritual of Sealing" would take place, as read from her Community Events board post:



It has come time for us to use the items we collected so many moons ago to seal the rift that was caused by Miaoxin in her attempt to bring forth the King of Gamangnara. We ask the community to be in attendance to provide strength during this ritual.



Where: Tao Te Ching

When: 8/29 - 7PM EST





((All participants and witnesses will receive:



A Random Tarot Card

A "Witness of Ritual" legend mark (this mark now "adds"

so you can receive more than one).





Three random individuals will be chosen to receive door

prizes:



1 Tarot Deck

1 I-Ching Reading (RP still required)

1 Free Zodiac (RP still required) ))





Signed,



Celindon

Visionary

Mage Tutor

Mystic Dark Mi-Rae





This specifically occurred in Hsien Courtyard, a sort of inner sanctum of the Diviner area, and a "central location of power, for a ritual called Gyeonggi-do Dodanggut" that promises protection for the future.





As many witnesses were settling around the circle, Celindon reminded those gathered that, a few moons ago, the Divine Order received visions and premonitions of a great evil. This started a quest by which the Wudang Quan and volunteers adventured among Forest Mantis, Hamgyong Ogres, Sandy Lobsters, and Arctic Ogres to discover four objects responsible for siphoning, storing, and sending magic. Dark Mistress Miaoxin was using them to tear a veil between worlds and bring forth the King of Gamangnara. Taking the magical objects, and completing this ritual, would thwart Miaoxin's quest of inviting overwhelming darkness to our lands.





To initiate the ritual, Muse Minaj performed a dance upon two of her great drums at the center.





Then, with Diviner Elder SSaiYen as a living conduit, Xing-Yi Scual assisted Celindon in calling for the aid of the totem gods.





Just as it seemed to be going well, Miaoxin intruded with dark magic that brought Gargoyles from the dark realm!







However, while heroes of the assembly fought back the fiends, the totem gods answered the call and created an opportunity to expel Miaoxin and the dark forces.







With order restored (for now), a randomly selected few received Tarot Deck, I-Ching and Ba-Gua readings (information available on Event Winners Board). Others were granted "Witnessed a Ritual of Divinity" mark and tarot cards.

Lost Kingdom - Found Primogen? We say Nay! Posted by: Barter -- 4:59 PM EST

There has been a couple of leadership changes in recent history that we'd like to mention. NayPoet, the lovely lady from Pegasus clan, stands proudly as their new Primogen. When asked what she thought of all this, NayPoet stated: "I tend to go extra, because Pegasus is an extra special place to me. It even drives me to strive to be extra extra."



The Lost Kingdom welcomes a new Primogen as LadyPhoenix takes the helm. Regarding this transition, she shares with us, "I am so excited to become Lost Kingdom's Clan newest Primogen! This will give me the opportunity to serve the people of my Clan, the nation of Buya, and the entire Kingdom. Hail Buya, shining jewel of the East!"



Thank you for your service, both LadyPhoenix and NayPoet. May both of your clans and nations prosper with your leadership.

New Elected Diviner Elder Posted by: Vini -- 6:28 PM EST

After a few weeks on lockdown, the Diviner subpath just came out of their first eldership election as today the result of the votes was announced: SSaiYen was chosen by the majority to take the mantle of Diviner Elder.







SSaiYen has been a Diviner for a very long time. His journey began back in Yuri 28 and his first guideship began in Yuri 30 under Sarina. Around Yuri 34 he left the kingdoms unexpectedly for quite some time and returned years later to the Divine Order and about three Hyuls ago ascended for his second guideship. He also serves the kingdom of Koguryo as Minister of Foreign Affairs.



"I will do my best to lead forward this path that I love with the respect and empathy it deserves", said SSaiYen while he realizes the weight of the responsibility trusted upon him. "We'll work together to set us back in the right track", he concluded.



Nexus Atlas congratulates Elder SSaiYen on his election and wishes him good luck on his new position!

Chat Channel rules





BOARD TITLE: Guide

FROM: GM mir DATE 4/28

SUBJECT: Help Channels



Nexus offers four channels of communication to help players with issues they might be encountering. Please read carefully how to use each.



/Tutors channel

If you require the assistance of a tutor with information about your path, spells or a quest, please reach out to a tutor by using the /tutors channel. When messaging to the tutor channel please be concise and straight to the point, directly expressing what is your question. This will help them address your questions faster.



/Novice channel

This channel is available to characters with lower levels to help each other with hunting groups, quests, information, and other demands that help with learning how to adapt to the world of Nexus faster. This channel is also monitored by tutors who may provide with assistance to the novice characters and new players.



/Justice Channel

If you are witnessing a justice issue that requires immediate attention of a judge or archon you may send a message to /justice channel.



When messaging to the report channel please be concise and straight to the point, directly expressing what is the issue. This will help get your concern addressed faster. This is a channel only for justice issues, not for other assistance you may need from archons.



If the issue has recently occurred but is no longer happening the best way to report it to bring it to the justice board.



/Report channel

This channel is exclusively used to report bugs or situations that may be hindering your game play and would need immediate assistance of Archons or GMs. This channel is not to be used for justice issues, please use the /justice channel instead.



Be succinct when using this, go straight to the point that is causing issue. This isn't a chat. Do not use this ask if Immortals are around. Using report to ask if archons are around will not help you get a response. If it is not urgent, contact the Immortals through mail instead.









Various other changes have taken place. Some we choose to leave for you to find out and others yet to be reported. Please contact me if you have discovered any updates that could be added to this list. Clan updates and private subpath changes shall remain off this list for now.

How-to Identify Plagued Commoners Posted by: Bunker -- 11:50 AM EST







Note:You do NOT need to have the Saving Lives portion of the quest done in order to Cure Commoners. But, you will only receive the Cape reward once you have all 5 steps complete. You must speak with Sanyang before you can do this step.



Sanyang's Cure

After the Sonhi camp was discovered overrun by Zibong, an old man by the name of Sanyang appeared within sight of the Northern Gates of Mythic Nexus. He speaks of a Five-step plan to overcome the plague of evil spirits. This guide will focus on the last step, healing the Commoners.





[click image to see full details]



Sanyang tells us;

"We need to help heal the commoners who have been plagued by Zibong, but haven't been transformed yet. I heard of a rose balsam that can help ward off spirits and diseases. If you offer them to a plagued commoner it can help them too."





The Bongseonhwa Flower

To obtain the balsam that Sanyang speaks of, travel to the Druid's Sacred Grove in the Wilderness (( 169/214 )) and enter the back room named the Silent Glade. Speak with Willow, and she will offer you Bongseonghwa flowers for 1,800 each. You can carry (20) at once. This is what you will offer a sick Commoner when you come across them.





How to Identify the Sick?

No matter the trade or geographical location, we can identify Commoners who can be healed with the Bongseonhwa by following a few guidelines. Let us categorize the commoners into three basic groups to help us distinguish the ones who can be healed.



The Good



These Commoners tend to wonder around the Kingdoms and can be observed saying some quite interesting things. They pose no immediate threat and when provoked will quickly run for cover. They have been documented saying the following phrases;



"Oh, my love! Where are you?"



"What's so special about West Gate Kugnae?"



"When is the bonus elixir war?"



"Hard work pays off!"



"Help! I was talking to my friends and they transformed into ghosts!"



"Armies should do more patrols to protect us."



"Where do you get the mods? Who's WoonSoo?"



"I'm no Diviner but I've been having bad omens lately."



"A Geomancer told me I should work on my relationships. I wonder why."



"One day I want to be as rich as a Magnate."



"Sometimes I feel like I'm being watched by someone from above."



"Why are there so many clans named after animals?"



"Work, work."



"Let's move on before the ground opens up and swallows us."



"This is really a nice town. I'd like to move here."



"This place is confusing. Where do I get a map?"



"I like big boats, I cannot lie."



"I really hope nothing happens to this beautiful place.."



"Why won't Muses hold plays in the theaters anymore?"



"How were people mining sun armors out of the ground? Who drops those?"



"Help! A Zibong just whispered me!"



"I know they left that Sevenleaf sword around here somewhere."



"I feel like someone is constantly spying on me."





The Bad



From quite a distance away, you can observe these ones quietly creeping towards you. Their minds possessed by the evil Zibong. They will attack even if not provoked. Unfortunately, you cannot save these ones. If you attack them however, the Commoner will melt away to reveal the Scout Zibong who had been lurking inside this poor soul. This Zibong is extra fiendish, and will summon you back to it while blinding you if you leave the area. You will need a Shaman Charm to destroy it.



The Ugly

To find the Possessed ones that will accept your offering of the Bongseonhwa as healing, ask say out-loud "This will make you feel better" and observe the Commoners reaction. If the Commoner stops dead in their tracks, as if battling inner demons, you have found a likely candidate for the cure.



Remember, not all the commoners can be healed. Only the ones who show the signs of the illness but have not lost their grasp on reality. The ones who are sick have been observed saying the following phrases around the Kingdoms;



"I can hear voices in my head."



"I don't feel well."



"I need a healer."



"My head hurts!"



"I'm seeking a scholar of healing items. Can anyone help?"



"I reserve my right to not wear a Shaman charm."





Offering the Cure

Now that you've found a prime candidate, it's time to cure them. Say the phrase "This will make you feel better" and DROP your Bongseonhwa on the ground near your patient.







The possessed Commoner will walk over to you and pickup the Boongseonhwa and consume it. They will thank you before heading back home to rest. Make sure to not stand over your offering as this will prevent them from picking it up, and they'll let you know about it!



Note that you can keep track of how many are saved as seen here;



Oceana Clan Elects Next Primogen Posted by: Bunker -- 3:25 AM EST

The votes are in and the Oceana Clan has elected their next Primogen; Almalexian.







Almalexian provided this quote for us;

"Today,the results of the Primogen Vote were released, and I came out with the majority. The lockdown was very bitter sweet, but knowing that the clan was able to choose the direction they wanted to take is always a bonus. I am happy the clan is able to move on into this next chapter of our wonderful history."



Congratulations to her on a triumphant return to the wheelhouse. May the winds be always at your back and your bow pointed to the waves.
