1. Upcoming & Recent Events:
MENTOR FAIR AND TALENT SHOW
The mentors are throwing their second annual Mentor Fair this month on July
14th! We'll kick things off with a talent show, so get ready to show us your
stuff! Games and prizes and entertainment for all will make for a great time!
Keep an eye out for a schedule of events in the in-game NEWS coming soon!
MINOTAUR MAYHEM
The heroes of Athens have done it again! With only three days to prepare,
they pooled together their resources and helped a young boy save his village
and family and friends from the vicious ravaging of a fierce Minotaur. Well
done! And keep an eye out for Crete to be open for exploration for a week
or two, once the villagers get things settled.
DESIGN-A-CREATURE WINNERS
Congratulations to the winners of the Design-a-Creature contest and thanks
to everyone who participated. We certainly discovered quite a lot of Dr.
Frankensteins out there!
First Place - Aleister with a Manticore
Second Place - Llorien with a Porcupus
Third Place - Nyl with a Mookmook

2. General News:
CHARACTER ARCHETYPES
Our guest speaker Nuin recently enlightened us about character archetypes
and was thoughtful enough to leave a written explanation and worksheet for
us in the Sweet Oblivi Sitting Room. Be sure to check it out if you missed
the lecture and remember to turn in your homework for a 300 fame and experience
bonus by August 15th! More information is available in the Sweet Oblivi Inn
Sitting Room.
MULE MUSCLES MAXIMIZED!
Does your mule need to take daily vitamins? Can't pull a cart full of chicken
feathers? Does he collapse from exhaustion on his way from his bedding to
the feeding trough? Well despair no more! Athena has personally visited each
and every steed in the lands and put them through an extreme training regime.
As a result, they can now carry twice the weight that they could before!
Please note that although they can carry more weight, the saddlebags will
still only hold the same amount of items. So load 'em down and head 'em out!

3. Premium News:
UPCOMING ESTATE SUCCESSOR EVENTS!
A general Estate meeting will be held on Sunday, July 16th, at 7pm EST. We
look forward to seeing you there!
EXPRESS YOURSELF!
Sometime... somewhere... very soon... a new merchant will be visiting Athens
(or Thebes... or Alexandria... or maybe all of them!) to let you express
your creativity! This exclusive merchant is gifted in the art of personal
body art, so start deciding what you would like!
