March promises to be a -MASSIVE- month across the Achaea, as we celebrate the 650th anniversary of the fall of the Seleucarian Empire!

Currently expected to start at around 0600 GMT on the 16th of March, we'll have all of your favourite championship games, some new releases, as well as a couple of surprises that you'll have to stay tuned for! We'll have some more news on schedules for the festivities up on the website and here in the ANNOUNCE news as the new year draws closer.

To coincide with these celebrations, we've released a new "Historic" talisman set, which will be gifted with purchases of 100cr or more on Achaea.com. The details of the items are as follows:

A Miniature Golden Window
-------------------------
When you OPEN WINDOW a scene from Achaea's history will be projected into the room.

A Mantle of Himalia
-------------------
The owner can PLACE MANTLE ON FIGUREHEAD while standing in the room with the mounted figurehead. It will use up the mantle and will make the figurehead non-decay and resetting.

A Scintillating Icicle
---------------------
This icicle can be shattered on the ground, freezing it. It will reset to you in one Achaean day. SMASH ICICLE ON GROUND.

An Ormyrr Skull Helmet
----------------------
Hewn from the neck of a Krenindalan invader, this skull has been modified into a wearable helmet which will strike fear in the heart of the most fearsome opponent.

A Disc of Mirrored Obsidian
---------------------------
Why let those special occasions live on only in your memory? With this interesting trinket, one may create a frozen, properly coloured image of a room, an adventurer, a denizen, or a a thing. It requires an elemental ice to function, which will be used up. Simply POINT DISC AT ROOM|<player>|<denizen>|<thing> [EXCLUDE ME]. By including the EXCLUDE ME when pointed at the room you're in, you, the image creator, will be left out of the image.

A Votive of Remembrance
-----------------------
In the Siroccian Mountains lies the Memorial to the Fallen Gods, honouring those deities who perished in the war against Bal'met, the Worldreaver. By lighting this votive (LIGHT VOTIVE) in the room dedicated to the memory of a particular God, you will store a bit of the memory of that God in your votive. Simply drop the lit votive in a room, and it will begin casting scenes of the Gods whose memories are stored within the votive. To clear the memories of the Gods out of your votive, LIGHT VOTIVE in the room with the ever-burning flame in the memorial.

A Clouded Glass Lily
--------------------
By dropping the lily, inspired by the lilies used in the Landmarking that ended several hundred years ago, you will get a short-term boost or hinderance to critical hit severity. Getting a boost is more likely than being hindered.

A Shar'ilian Whisperstone
-------------------------
The magi of the famed and now lost islands of Shar'ilian produced these Whisperstones long ago. By doing TOUCH STONE TO GROUND the owner of the stone will hear all talking in the room as if he or she was there. This can be done about once per Achaean day, and the effect lasts a similar length of time.


You'll gain 1 talisman piece for every 100cr purchased, and as an added bonus, for every 500cr, you'll receive an additional 2 pieces. Buy 500cr, get 7 talisman pieces, buy 1000cr, get 14. These only apply to a credits obtained in a single purchase.
