Let this be a little fun submission. I have no way of reproducing. 

What do you see? 

I see 
 

In the 17th year of the realm, there emerged a figure that was likely to become a character of MD legend.  They did not disappoint.
Aksel has extraordinary energy and insatiable curiosity, and this led to being launched into notoriety, just a year after arriving in the realm.  When Aksel learned of the Land Weapons, and the trail of bread crumbs that Mur had left, there was nothing for it but to try to ring Marind's Bell.
An unlikely collection of motley characters was recruited to fill out the numbers required for this adventure.  I, Fyrd Argentus, class clown, amateur musician, alchemical experimentalist, and tabloid journalist, was approached to join the venture.  I decided I could participate as a neutral observer, as long as I followed Aksel's remarkably complete plan, that included all the crazy rituals needed to activate the MB land weapon.
Other team members were Blackshade Rider, with an amazing talent for clashing with GM's that held his fate in their hands, Mallos, chronic malcontent with remarkably contrarian ideas about how to grind, and Fang Archbane, that elusive flamboyant sky rider that never seems to be where he is supposed to be.  As a special 6th member, recruited to observe the results from outside, was Jakubhi, who always seems to be in an opposite time zone.  We attempted to recruit Handy Pockets, but initially could not locate her on short notice, so we began the attempt, ironically enough, without a single Marind Bell citizen.
We five took our positions and commenced the rituals as instructed.  Four were successful, but one was not.  As part of the rituals, we could not leave our stations without bolloxing the works, so we called upon Jak to come inside MB and help, where he discovered that the fifth station had been mistakenly identified, quickly performed the ritual and we were in!  
Or rather, using the controls at Wind's Sanctuary, we had locked ourselves in.  The mistakenly identified 5th station turned out to be an unopened door to secret places in MB and we continued to have difficulty opening them.  We thought perhaps that our lack of citizenship was hampering us.  Thankfully, Kets was finally contacted at this point, and we opened the gates to let her in, to help.  Unfortunately, many others had been alerted to our efforts and slipped in through the briefly opened gate to see what was up.
That's when our team effort began to come unraveled.  Each team member chased after their best guess as to how to open secret places.  I myself found myself nodding off and slipping into another dimension, so I can't really relate the final findings - and wouldn't if I could.  After a few hours, the effects wore off and MB was back to normal.  All I can say is that future attempts will be made, with even more preparation.  Will it be to Marind Bell again, or some other land?  Only time will tell.

I shall select a BP Archer

This was affecting all items that matched the first mix option of a recipes , so if for example a combiner had this recipe:

1)  item 1, Item2
2) item 3, Item 4

and you tried to used item1+item2 , first entry, you got this silent error. All other combinations worked fine

A tale of Jakubhi, a man of lore,
In the land of Loreroot, he seeks to explore.
For knowledge and books were his greatest desire,
Ignoring the noble maidens, his heart never did tire.
He'd seek out ancient tomes, dusty and old,
On the power of knowledge, his faith would not fold.
He would wander the library, searching each shelf,
To understand the secrets, he was determined and felt.
He would bravely run away, when faced with Ledah,
The evil master of skilldamage, full of dread and dismay.
But Jakubhi was brave and he was strong,
He never gave up, no matter how long.
He searched for forgotten secrets, tales of old,
In the dark corners of the library, he would be bold.
He would seek out knowledge, far and wide,
In his quest to understand, he would never hide.
He'd search for the truth, and search for the lies,
He'd search for the answers, even through demise.
He'd battle the darkness, never fall to fear,
His courage and strength, it was always made clear.

Greetings to all.
As quests for the anniversary oft do take time to prepare, I shall speak of this one presently, such that more may prepare for this contest ahead of time.

 
The first quest is Of Heads. I believe there to be some circulating number presently, and some may yet lie within gifts of bounty. The contest were simple: 
Provide a screenshot of thyself (and post it within this thread) passing me a large number of heads. This should be posted in this thread as soon as the exchange doth occur.
The largest number given to me in a single passing before the *beginning* of the anniversary in one passing will win a coloured (non-anniversary) creature which has yet been unreleased.
The largest number given to me in a single passing between the *beginning and the end* of the anniversary will also win a coloured creature of this type.

The largest number given to me in a single passing during the entire duration from the commencement of the quest to the end of the anniversary, for a character of the Fourth Mind-Power, will also win a coloured creature of this type.
I am likely to be idle, and these heads may be taken by anyone else (including thyself). It matters not from where the heads may arise; nor whither they shall end; the important part is the record of it in question. In case of a tie, the one who provides the record within this thread earlier will be deemed victorious.
One may pass heads to myself in a scene where I am present by speaking, and replacing 2 with the desired number: *gives 2 heads to Aia*
Do remember to use the number, and not "all" - using "all" will invalidate the entry, @Ledah.
 
 
 
The second quest - Of Tales - is as follows. One may refer to such submissions as found within the thread of the mind of artifice:
Write a story or poem about thyself (the MagicDuel character); one may use whatever aids or tools required (including ChatGPT) provided thou hast the right to distribute the content. (Of note: Thou hast the right to distribute ChatGPT content that it creates when thou dost converse.) Such content should be created anew. I encourage the use of this in this quest, but it may be that one prefers to write by herself.
The best half (rounded down) of such stories or poems as judged by myself will also win a coloured creature of the aforementioned kind. Entries for this contest of tales are open until the end of the Anniversary.
Other stories or poems on a different player may be posted in this thread also and count towards the entries above.
However, if such an entry Is deemed to win, the prize will go to the player who is the subject, not the player who is the author. (One would, of course, write about another player in an attempt to earn them a prize!)
 
As is customary, if the winner of both the contest of heads (either category) and the contest of tales (the single best entry as judged by myself)  is the same person, I will grant them a wishpoint.
There is no limit to the number of entries to either quest, but players may only obtain one creature per contest (for a maximum of two.)
 
Blessings, and fortune favour thee this Anniversary.
Aia
 
Edit: An additional rule, for which effects will arise in one week:
 

Chriselnenepr, a strange and eerie fellow,
Embraces the chaos and the randomness,
In Necrovion, where shadows lurk,
And death is the only ruler.
 
He wanders through the land of darkness,
Trespassing where he shouldn't dare,
For death holds no power over him,
And Chriselnenepr's spirit is aware.
 
Once choked by Marind Bell,
For refusing to play her deadly game,
But death could not hold him down,
For Chriselnenepr's will is not the same.
 
In Necrovion, he finds his solace,
Amidst the shadows and the decay,
For in the land of death, he feels alive,
And his strange and eerie heart is at play.
 
So let Chriselnenepr roam,
Through Necrovion's twisted land,
For in death, he's found his home,
And in chaos, he makes his stand.
 
With every step he takes,
A chill runs down your spine,
For in his presence, death awakens,
And the living are left behind.

Confirming I also do not see his avatar

How about a search bar at the top right to filter creatures by name when binding rituals? 
 

Everyone should have their rewards  

Suggestions as follows:
Wishpoint Rare creature Colored Creature Revive Item Spellstones 

Sign me up!

Very fun indeed. As Invie mentioned, plenty of rewards

I also like this idea 
 

This is what the clickie will say?

I'm in!

Team 🐢as well. Slow and steady wins the race

Thanks for the fun adventure Fyrd. The more I went about discovering the other clues the more into it I got. 

It was great to take a break from grinding! Glad I took the time to adventure around MD
