People with over 100 consecutive days, or over 1000 active days, or anyone holding an item MD Archive Papers, will be able to enter md-archives.com and write what they wish, moderate stuff, or do basically what they want as long as its not vandalism, spam, etc.

This way, this site becomes an earned access. Lets see what will happen.

I made several md archive papers, to me and chew, we can give them on request for cases where that person should clearly have access but does not have the days, if any such case will exist.

Implementation is in progress right now, i will announce it shortly.

A log of events from today's event:

[11/07/26 21:09] :jakubhi taps his staff on the ground
[11/07/26 21:09] jakubhi:Loreroot has always been place of growth.
[11/07/26 21:11] jakubhi:One could grow through battle, knowledge, or way of thinking. One could grow friendships, or rivalries.
[11/07/26 21:12] jakubhi:Death Ray, I have seen you remaining steadfast and active, striving to move in this realm, even when our ranks have thinned.
[11/07/26 21:13] :jakubhi looks up at the darkening sky, gazing at the first stars as they show
[11/07/26 21:14] Death Ray:One must stay true and faithful, even in the absents of the Queen
[11/07/26 21:15] jakubhi: nods in agreement And we hope that she would one day return, and walk among us, sharing her wisdom and kindness.
[11/07/26 21:15] :jakubhi turns his gaze to Death Ray
[11/07/26 21:16] jakubhi:Children of the Eclipse have always been loyal to the Loreroot, first and foremost
[11/07/26 21:16] Death Ray:I keep her throne and honor safe and prepared for her return. I hope to one day rule beside her
[11/07/26 21:17] Death Ray:Firsanthalas, Was king long long ago. was a grand mentor
[11/07/26 21:20] jakubhi: nods While the Queen is not here, and the rest of the Eclipse is resting, I am extending an invitation to you, Death Ray, with one condition and one pledge.
[11/07/26 21:22] jakubhi: smiles slightly The pledge is one that each of us takes, while the condition is because of your special case. Are you prepared to hear it ?
[11/07/26 21:24] Death Ray: kneels Yes sir, I am listening with an open mind
[11/07/26 21:34] jakubhi:My Conditions is such: You shall do your best to regain your Loreroot citizenships, and join no other lands.
[11/07/26 21:34] jakubhi: smiles Of course, this is taken as a promise.
[11/07/26 21:35] jakubhi:I understand the circumstances during which the citizenship was lost, and you shall get the invitation to the Children of the Eclipse without waiting for the citizenship to be granted first.
[11/07/26 21:36] Death Ray:I've been hold this promise long before this moment now. I shall continue to pursue
[11/07/26 21:37] :jakubhi nods
[11/07/26 21:37] jakubhi:Then, for your pledge, I ask you this
[11/07/26 21:39] :Death Ray eyes wide
[11/07/26 21:40] jakubhi:Continue your growth, as you have done. Be kind and merciful, even to the ones who may not be deserving. With this pledge, will you serve the will of Luna and her everwatching gaze, Death Ray?
[11/07/26 21:42] Death Ray:I will stay steadfast in the ways of Luna and uphold the honor and respect of our land. And continue my grouth and aid those in need.
[11/07/26 21:42] :jakubhi smiles
[11/07/26 21:43] :jakubhi raises his staff, and lightly taps Death Ray's shoulder
[11/07/26 21:44] jakubhi:Arise, Death Ray of Loreroot and Luna, blessed be and be blessing to all

PS: turns out the citizenship comes with the Alliance.

I hope all who are able have taken of some time to visit the scenery new to the realm (although one could assume these were once lost, given their appearance).
A simple task, then - draw a simple map of the new scenes, and present them here. There should be two such maps - those with coordinates beginning with 9_ and those with coordinates beginning with 5_. Consider that artistic nature is not part of the criteria for judgment - one rather prefers accurate placement and proportionality, similar to how one would expect in a map of other lands.
Twenty five such scenes do exist, and Mur has announced the prize will be a single custom scene of one's desire, with the deadline for such a task the thirtieth day of the month.
 
 
An additional, and simpler task: Name the scenery; although one cannot usually title the scenery eponymously, one may do so in a subtle manner. Provide within this thread the coordinates of the scene to be named, and a suggested title, along with an optional explanation of why the title were fitting.
The best single name of any scene (as determined by royal decree) will earn 1 wishpoint, and the best single name of any scene as determined by popularity (i.e. total number of votes whether positive or negative) will also win 1 wishpoint.
 
The closing date for entries will be, similarly, the thirtieth day of the month in which this quest is announced, although comments may continue to be made in this thread after the closing date.

Ahahahaha omg i got a genuine wp!
 
Ok now i owe everybody some pics
in my defence i have to mention that i built the entire shed myself, not just put some tubes on a ready made roof.
 
Next plan is a water tower for pressure

The Kelle'tha Order archives have been locked ages ago, with some posts dating back 15+years ago.
They represent bits and pieces of debates and first-hand information , from the young ages of MagicDuel, many things inspired from documents prepared before MD, as part of its design concepts.
 
Its been so many years since these archive closed, and i decided its a pity to lose all this valuable information, so i am unlocking access to these records, for research purposes, but also historic purposes. I moved all records from the "Kelle'tha Records" section to one of the locked sections, many had duplicates, posted about same time (not sure why). I wanted to preserve the records as they where so i did not combine the informations under same topics, instead you will find them all as they where, including the duplicate (or almost duplicate) records.
Each subforum is protected by a password, and you will be able to reach that password through a quest created by Aelis (under my supervision). 
This access is about knowledge , and so will be the path leading to it.
Obtaining the password to all subforums does not entitle you to any rights regarding the Kelle'tha in-game Guild, currently locked. If this guild will ever be unlocked and usable, and in what way, it will depend mostly on overall MD activity, and the opinion of former order members, if they are reachable.
I enabled posting and replying to members of Border Research and A25 group, so they can complete the archive with valuable information, if they want to. They will still need to discover the access password to these forums, so not everyone in these groups may respond, but anyone obtaining the password can view the records.
Aelis will followup with details about the quest when it will be ready.

(I decided to try to write a story for fun, I will be releasing some short parts of it in irregular intervals. Maybe more  people will read it when it is not one long paragraph, hmm. The main idea of this story is to.. give certain areas in MD a bit of attention and life, I guess. I would be happy for any feedback. )
 
 
As a certain author once wrote:
 „Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.
But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten. „
And so, a young knator ended up on a Gateway Island. It was unknown what took him away from the deep Loreroot forest, whether it was someone fooling around with spells or a hole in a reality.
But one thing was for sure. The knator did not have the slightest idea how to get back.
It was confused. And scared. It wanted to be home, in the forest, not.. whenever it currently was. 
Looking around, the knator found only an empty beach, a tall cliff, and an ocean. Above the ocean, there was a storm. It was not moving left nor right. As if it was just.. floating there. And getting larger. And larger.
The young knator realised that he needed to find a place to hide. And fast.
 
 
PS: I thought knators had tails, but now that I am looking, I can't find any in the pictures
 

(Part 5)
The lightning crashed, the wind howled, the sand flew around.
And as rapidly as it started, all of it.. ended.
The knator survived the storm, mostly unhurt. Maybe a new one would come soon. But this one passed, and he was still alive.
The knator lifted his head up. For the first time in a while, he could actually see around himself.
A field of grass was around him and the tree, with a single dirt road. A couple of small boulders were lying in the grass. Nearby, a single scarecrow stood, undisturbed as if the storm was unable to touch it. Similarly, a statue atop a pile of boulders stood near the dirt road.
As if the fate was making fun of knator, he even spotted a cave entrance in a hill not so far from where he was. It would make a very good place to hide.
Looking up at the tree, he wondered why the birds did not go there to hide from the storm. Well, a single bird, now.
It was looking around, its eyes dim, not focusing on anything, just searching. It did not find what it was looking for.
“Kaw.”
And from behind the bird, from a place which it protected with its whole body, a young voice resounded.
“Caw?”

Having some fun with the AI.. this is one of my old poems turned into a metal song.. what do you think?

Oh, nice, lets see the stat.. Damn you! Not agaaaain. 

This issue has been fixed now. Thank you for pointing it out!

Hi! 
Lets play a game. I think most of you have already played this one before.
The First and last letter game:
Someone starts the game with a random word they choose. The next person says a new word, this word must start with the letter with which the previous word ended. Also, you may not use a word that was already used. Of course, this only applies while that word is still visible in the chat:P You may use it again if it is not visible. If the chat is empty, you may start the game. Also, you can not reply to your own words, so you will need to wait for someone else to reply to your word before you can join again.
Example of the game:
Person1: Ocean
Person2:Neon
Person1:Nose
Person3:Egg
...
The location : Berserker’s Way (one scene to the east from Gazebo of Equilibrium)
Who can join?: Anyone
Reward: your head hurts from trying to find fitting word (if the game becomes popular, maybe I will add some prizes, for now it is only for fun)
 

On day 13 of the year 19 we have met Willow to interrogate him concerning the gifts that were found in his storage room.
Present at the time of the conversation were Invie and I, later joined by Ledah and Aamon, and Aia and Jakubhi when the meeting was running towards it end.
You can find the transcription below
 
TLDR
Willow is renting out his storage room to the confused one.
He spotted an elf returning gifts from the tree to the storage room, he confirmed it is the elf that had a shovel related incident that lead to his early passing
He doesn't know how the elven magic works that protects the gifts but might tinker a little with it.
He says our best bet to contact the confused one is to speak to the elves in the archives.

I have gained access to the book. What an interesting but sad story.

The log so far:
[04/01/24 15:35] :Aia waves to Fyrd's likeness
[04/01/24 15:36] Aia:I do wish thou couldst have been here for this.
[04/01/24 15:40] Aia:Wherever thou wert, I hope happiness has followed thee there.
[04/01/24 23:47] :Chewett bows
[04/01/24 23:48] Sunfire:you will be missed, old friend and mentor
[04/01/24 23:56] : Mallos throws the dice and gets 3
[04/01/24 23:59] jakubhi:I miss you Fyrd
[04/01/24 23:59] Death Ray:I don't even know what to say, for the last 15 or so year's ... we meet here on MD. And created a friendship and bond.
[05/01/24 00:04] Chewett:Things change, things don't, but our friends are still here
[05/01/24 00:04] Death Ray:One of very few long lasting friendships to be immortalized here in MD....
[05/01/24 00:05] jakubhi:I still remember the hangman word games he used to organise
[05/01/24 00:06] jakubhi:I liked them
[05/01/24 00:08] Invie:Goodbye, Pickle Meister.
[05/01/24 00:11] Aksel:He really put in the effort into MD, handheld me around in early days and was always there to help and make new content. Was expecting him to show up any time now, quite sad
[05/01/24 00:16] Chewett:He inspired questions, ideas, quests, and many other things
[05/01/24 00:20] lashtal:His generosity was sincere, detached. He would spend days just to help someone run a quest. I was in debt back then and I will forever be.
[05/01/24 00:21] lashtal:Thank you Fyrd.
[05/01/24 00:21] jakubhi: *gives everyone a hug* This is not a good night, but I wish you peaceful dreams

[05/01/24 00:38] Aamon:Would anyone care to share some words and or memories with Fyrd?
[05/01/24 00:40] Aia:I am honoured to have known thee and to have worked with thee on so much. Thou wert truly one-of-a-kind in wit, generosity, and vision.
[05/01/24 00:42] Aia:Rest in everlasting peace, dear friend.
[05/01/24 00:42] :Aamon notes Asia's words
[05/01/24 00:43] Aamon:Would anyone else have words or memories to share?
[05/01/24 00:45] Aia:If there is one regret, it is that thou didst never see the likeness we created of thee in thine honour.
[05/01/24 00:46] Aia:We shall miss thee now and evermore.
[05/01/24 00:49] :Aamon records Aia's words
[05/01/24 00:51] Aia:There is one last thing I should like...
[05/01/24 00:51] Aia:Here is the last clicky that thou didst provide for me.
[05/01/24 00:51] Aia:It is fitting that it is a lamp.
[05/01/24 00:53] :Aia places the lamp at the base of Fyrd's pedestal
[05/01/24 00:58] Aia:May it shine evermore in thy memory.
[05/01/24 00:59] Invie:You were always ready to help out a fellow player. You welcomed many new players with your guidance and quests. Be sure that we will continue to guide new players to your garden.
[05/01/24 01:11] Chewett:I will take an acoustic remains later
[05/01/24 01:11] Chewett:All I wish to say is that I am very sad
[05/01/24 01:12] Aia:We all are, but let not that trivialise the weight upon thyself.
[05/01/24 02:16] Death Ray:It was truly a blessing to have come across such a person. The impressions he's left behind with is will forever remain
[05/01/24 02:29] :chriselnenepr Notices he has arrived late
[05/01/24 02:31] chriselnenepr:I simply want to share that Fyrd has been a great help to our community. He always encouraged players to take a more active role when it comes to participating in quests, creating them, or simply just tending to his bug garden
[05/01/24 02:32] chriselnenepr:I am happy to have met the happiest pickle meister in the realm and the many quests he has created to further our enjoyment of the realm.
[05/01/24 02:32] chriselnenepr:Although a bit sad some of his unfinished works may stay as such, but will forever be memories we will hold dear
[05/01/24 02:33] :chriselnenepr Places some flowers near Fyrd's statue
[05/01/24 02:33] Chewett:We can finish some of his plans I have some of them
[05/01/24 02:34] :chriselnenepr smiles
[05/01/24 02:35] Chewett:Goodnight all, I must rest
[05/01/24 02:35] Chewett:I have posted the log as it stands, and will continue to log and post it
[05/01/24 02:35] Chewett:Be well my friends
[05/01/24 02:36] chriselnenepr:Be well and good night! I hope we can make some of those plans a reality
[05/01/24 02:51] Lazarus:Good night, Fyrd. I am grateful to have blessed by your presence all these years.
[05/01/24 02:52] :Lazarus bows
[05/01/24 02:52] Lazarus:Farewell
[05/01/24 02:54] :Aamon notes everyones words
[05/01/24 07:32] Death Ray:Heart breaking, im sure we all know he'd been in his element with the curret event going on. I was aware he was away. And tbh... i thought that it was him, as the voice...
[05/01/24 07:58] Death Ray:Another thought, Magic Duel must have meant a lot to him considering a family member reached out to us...
[05/01/24 11:31] Chewett:His son said "I know he loved playing and contributing to your game."

A brief summary of discourse that I have had with @jakubhi - posted with permission:
Jakubhi's ideas:
- Lifting the magic that sticks down the presents may also lift the magic within the present, rendering it without value.
- The magic within the scene may be fueled by the heat-veins; perhaps temporarily pausing the flow may weaken the magic sufficiently to move the presents
- Could it be possible that Memory Stones would absorb this magic holding the presents in place?
 
Aia's ideas:
- Agreeance that lifting all magic without limit would cause loss of the value of presents
- Rather than attempting to lift the magic, one could attempt to merely cause the opposite effect - for example, a hypothetical potion of extreme unstickiness (which comes with its own issues such as how to get this potion to stick to the presents to cause the desired effect)
- Worry about other temporary magic-weakening as mentioned above to also weaken the effect of said presents
- Thoughts about Memory Stones not working in the above manner. If they did, however, what would prevent them from absorbing the magic inside the presents as well?
