It has been a vast pleasure to have you all with us to commemorate ten
years of Achaea and the Iron Realms. What a journey it has been! On
behalf of the Pentad and the Pantheon, thank you to every one of you for
joining us and making this world possible.

However, the celebrations aren't over yet. We've decided to extend the
IRE-Wide Ten Year Anniversary Essay Contest another week, because it
appears that many people were not aware of it, and there are HUGE credit
prizes for the top ten essays submitted! The top ten essay writers will
receive 2000, 1500, 1000, 750, 500, 250, 200, 150, 100, and 50 credits
respectively. The full rules are on the anniversary webpage
(http://www.ironrealms.com/ten_year_anniversary.php), and I shall repeat
them here:

o ALLOWED TOPICS:
- What you love most about your favorite Iron Realms MUD and why.
- A defining moment or series of events for your character in an Iron
Realms MUD.

o OTHER RULES:
- Your essay must be less than 1000 words.
- Mail the finished essay to essays@ironrealms.com. Make sure to include
your character and game name.

You have another week to send in your essays, so get those quills to
scribbling!


PS: Ironbeard the Maganimous bids you all a fond farewell! Or should I say
'faR*hic*weLl'?
