Since the dreamcatcher appeared at the Howling Gates, more people were found inside Necrovion, having no clue how to get out.
This is my last warning: leave the dreamcatcher alone or get killed.
If you wish to visit Necrovion, contact me in advance:

Thank you for making this quest lashtal, the artwork submissions were all great! Though I felt really overqualified for this, so I wish to part 15 of these plushies and give 5 each to Ungod, Steno and Ailith, I was planning on doing it myself but since the Plushies had become non-transferable I thought it would be helpful if I declare it. 
 

Highly experienced in countless battles, Cyrus Siridius was revered by those who learned from him, students and teachers alike. His mastery of the blade wielding saved countless innocent lives from the hands of his foes. Cyrus also had a remarkable gift of teaching those who needs to learn the ways of a true champion. Fierce, agile and tactical, he applies his skills to defend his homeland, its people and most of all his family.
Beneath his now-unused armor stood a compassionate gentleman; a King in his own right, a Warrior of life, and a Lover of his people.
May he rest in peace.

Cyrus Siridius
(August 19, 2008 - May 3, 2020)

So, the anniversary is over, but a new wave of plushies is descending on the realm.
As you may have noticed, Cyrus Siridius has been caught trespassing Necrovion and met a premature end.
Who is this fellow? What do we know about him? This is what a very accurate autopsy revealed:
You have one week (deadline: May 11 23.59 server time) to draw an avatar for Cyrus Siridius.
Quoting Aia, the drawing should be in black and white (no colours). Ideally, the proportions should be scalable to an Avatar (which, when scaled down, is 160 pixels high and 100 pixels wide) - however, the artwork should be much larger than this, so that it can be scaled down.
The best one, based on forum reputation, wins my entire collection of plushies + 13 silver coins (courtesy of TKs) + a little something else.
In case of a tie, the player with lower Mind Power wins. Should this criteria fail to name a winner, the lower Mind Power with lower number of plushies wins.
Cyrus Siridius is welcome to participate in the voting, and his vote will count x 10. (Ideally, he gets to keep the avatar, in case avatar managers agree)

This was my Champion's Challenge back in Year 5:

(wish I had their old avatars, but the current ones will do)
As far as I remember, Ailith was the first person I talked to in this realm. She was probably responsible for me staying around! Eventually, I ended up joining SoS and that was when I first became a part of the LotE. I'm really happy that our friendship endured all these years (and today we both being on the same land and alliance again is an awesome bonus).
This event in particular was right after I had disappeared for some time, due to exams or something, and had just returned. I remember Ailith being the alliance leader and she told me to jump to her so she could show me something. That was the first time I visited the Champion's Challenge and since then it's become my favorite MB scene!
In this image, aside from Ailith and Granos, Pip is there as one of my oldest alliance mates, and also Awiiya and Kets (Handy Pockets), close friends whom I visited frequently. Also, I'd like to mention Pamplemousse (couldn't find her avatar), another great friend from those days.
I still have the screenshot that I took back then (which inspired me to write this and decorate this scene in particular). Behold ancient-layout.php, haha:
 

This will be an annual quest. It is decided.

I do propose that someone puts these on the MD reddit,here, just to boost content count

Why not... thought I would appease both sides on a certain debate....

Today Marind Bell and the East, along with notable VIP's of MagicDuel were present at a ceremony where the citizens have voiced their support for a King for Marind Bell, and a Grand Duke for the East. In addition various dignitaries of the lands have voiced their support for this appointment.

I am able to announce, on behalf of both citizens of the lands that I, Chewett, am the new ruler of both.
The East and Marind Bell shall form a new group, headed by three figures. One Marind Bell Citizen shall be chosen, along with one East citizen, and Chewett the Governor of both. This group, run with the support of the citizens shall guide both lands. Regular meetings will be held with citizens to address issues with both lands, and the combined issues. The first of these meetings including an appointment of these two land dukes will occur some time after the Anniversary. In the meantime all citizens are welcome to come talk to myself.
Thank you to all those who supported me in this endeavour as it has taken much effort.

Jubaris spoke as a representative of the citizens of Marind Bell and gifted Chewett the rare "Bell of Marind", a long kept relic of Marind.

Queen Lintara was asked then to speak as a representative of her land Loreroot. She gifted Chewett a Crown of Ivy, wishing that the empire will last as long as ivy,  and an Acorn stating that Oaks are trees of strength and Sacred to Loreroot, giving her blessing of the Root towards the endeavour.
King Miq was asked to speak as a representative of his land, Golemus. He gifted a Porcelain Chessmen and wished that he were to rule in interesting times nodding in agreement.
MaGoHi was invited to speak as a representative of the GWI and while warning this power shift was concerning stated that since Chewett is to be the ruler he can agree to it. He gifted a Sleeping Gnome since, according to himself, that is all he does on the island.
Eara, Manager of the Treasure Keepers was asked if she supports the effort. She feels that the East joining together with Marind Bell, keeping the treasury of the TK's, is a move that makes much sense and supports the effort. She gifted Chewett Muratus's engraved ring for his work.

Ledah came forward and stated that the Caretakers wish success in Chewett's goals, that they support him, and stated that the first step to success is not being late, and therefore presented a Bone clock.
Ailith, representative of the Soldiers of the Inner Sun then presented a Commemorative Pocket Watch to mark the event, pledging their support for Chewett.
Sunfire, representative of the Seals of the Six, presented a Thorny crown to Chewett, stating that rulership is a burden and not a powermove.

The ghost of Murmas arrived just in time to see how life is going in the Lands of Magic Duel.
From now on and until the end of the year (31. January) make sure you behave well! What do you need to do? Simple: do something nice to somebody you know or you don’t know in MD. It can be anything – a present or a journey or a nice surprise, conversation, help in distress...pretty much anything that is not your direct duty, anything that makes other person happy. Be original, be creative, be attentive, check on people's needs, find out what they really wish for and how can you help them. After it happened report it yourself or let the person you showed your kindness to report it to me via forum pm.

In your letter describe what you did (or what somebody did for you), why you (or they) did it and what were the consequences of this act. The ghost of Murmas will judge your acts of kindness on the matter of sincerity, originality and selflessness. The most outstanding act of kindness will be rewarded with a WP, second and third place will be covered with gold and silver straight from the treasury! After the event is over, acts of kindness will be posted in this thread. Anonymity can be negotiated, but I believe not necessary.

Be kind to each other! The ghost of Murmas is looking forward to hearing from you!

PS: if you report somebody who did something nice to you expect that person (not yourself) to get a reward

I’m fairly new to MD, I’m 9 AD old at the time I write this and I am thankful to have been the receiver of so much trust, understanding and kindness from the guardians of Gateway Island (Blackshade Rider, MaGoHi and Azull).
The story I’m about to tell you is part kindness, part trust, part teaching moment I guess…
It all started with me needing 1 Crystal and asking for a trade (Azull, MaGoHi and Blackshade Rider were active at that time). Blackshade Rider told me he needed some toxic plants for a tea. I didn’t now anything about tea but I knew how to gather the plants so I accepted the deal and asked how many did he want.
That was the moment things got a little crazy for me.
He asked the other guys if they wanted some tea as well, they did, and started discussing about preparing some tea, about the fact that I am or I am not ready to do this, asking each other about the ingredients and the preparation method, all this while I was there.
It was somewhat funny and somewhat puzzling witnessing a discussion about me with all the parties being aware of the fact that I was there. At some point, someone asked me if I wanted to learn how to prepare tea and I accepted in a flash, not knowing but suspecting it wasn’t easy, but willing to learn as much as possible there, in MD, and also being truly thankful to them for including me in such a nice and quite complicated ritual.
After some more discussion, I was declared Tea Master (not sure this is the right term) and given a teapot, some heat stones, a tea book and lots of guidance.
It was fun.
MaGoHi, Azull and I managed to prepare 3 pots of aromatic tea (Blackshade Rider went away for a while) in the end and split it 4 ways.
For me, it was an act of kindness that, from a simple Crystal vs Toxic plants discussion, I ended up being included and learning how to take part in a ritual that was way more advanced than my knowledge of MD.

gold has been given to Ungod as he deserved it. Since the rest of gold coins remain unclaimed TK decides to award them to Aia herself to use them as she wants. We think that Aias entry was worthy of a reward, even though she never made a submission to get a reward in a first row. Congratulations Aia to your nice quest and wonderful entry. We hope you will make more quests in the future.

After both Juba and Ledah scored a 3 - 1 victory over MRAlyon the victory would be fought over between theses two prime fighters.
at midnight they gathered and saluted eachother before they started their dance of death.
accompanied by the oooh's and aaaah's of the crowd the fight went on from one side to the other.
but in the end only one could be crowned king of fighters.
Jubaris, reinging champion showed formidable effort to honor his title.
Yet it was the wisdom of the elder that changed the battle outcome.
Ledah, champion of the caretakers and THE veteran of MD has shown this realm that age doesnt make you rusty. 
With a 3 - 1 victory he bested Jubaris and claimed the first spot
We bow to his skill and congratulate him with his victory in the third Equilibrium tournament.
This concludes this tournament's edition and i hope to see you all again in the next one "soon".
 
1) Ledah
2) Jubaris
3) MRAlyon
