Finally another issue of Imagizine. Due to the lack of news it has been
decided that it should not come out monthly, but when there are news to
tell. This is an interactive
Imagizine, so your input is very much appreciated. To put something in the
Imagizine e-mail the Editor at Lunah at email.jimagica.net, and it will be put into
the following issue.

At the moment there isn't much to say as no large update has been made
recently. The last additions to Imagica to my knowledge are the following:
- General Bug Fixes
- Impteam Revision
- Extension of 'bash' skill
- DinoStreet Revisited and New House Zone
General Bug Fixes
=================
Nothing really major has been done lately. The bug which gave containers
incorrect weight has been fixed. However, new bugs are found often, and the
bug fixing is done as soon as possible.
Impteam Revision
=================
Since the last issue of Imagizine there has been a change in the impteam.
Plymptoon and Cestus has left Imagica. Radagast, Random, Lee and partly
Mender has retired (although you will still see them around once in a while,
if you're lucky). The following promotions has been made:
Trixor - Master Builder (Co-Producer)
Lunah - House Master (Director)
Daemon - Problem Solver (Gaffer)
LadyXera - Clan Mistress (Effects)
Extension of 'bash' skill
==========================
The skill 'bash' was previously only possible to use against mobs. However,
this has now been extended so that you can also bash closed doors to get
through to new rooms. If you have the skill - try it! It's really refreshing
bashing in a door..
DinoStreet Revisited and New House Zone
=======================================
As DinoStreet was getting far too long some changes has been made and the
street is now split in three parts; DinoStreet East, Center and West. In
addition to DinoStreet a second House Zone - Saga Forest - has also been
added to Imagica. This zone can be found south -east of Elven Forest.

Did he love me?
The wonder tormented my mind.
The love I felt burnt my heart.
The desire I had filled my soul.
He said he loved me.
The surprise took my mind.
The joy warmed my heart.
The happiness cleansed my soul.
He did not love me.
The truth darkened my mind.
The knowledge shattered my heart.
The emptiness took over my soul.
Left was only darkness.

SoS is a clan where people from all races and classes has gathered to help
those in need. We're a pro-roleplaying clan who want to teach newbies (and
others) to be able to get on on their own in Imagica.
We're against newbies getting too good equipment from higher level players
as it ruins game balance (if they themselves go through a lot of trouble to
get it.. then it's great), and we don't like it when a newbie solely levels
by assisting someone else in a closed room. We love exploring, and know a
lot about Imagica.
SoS and its members wants to give hints and tips for those less experienced
and are always happy to answer questions.
If you feel that you want to join SoS, as we are looking for new, brave
members to join us on our Quest, send a message to Disa or Arwen.
You need to be level 20 before you can join, any race, any class any
alignment. If you are lower you can still let us know if you are interested
and we'll keep an eye on you.
For more info talk to us or mudmail us, you can also reach us here:

As you all might have noticed, there has been a new house area added in
Imagica. The new area is called Saga Forest, and can be found south and east
of the Elven Forest. Saga Forest is a wonderful area in the forest with
green areas and a small pond for those who want to take a swim. There is
also a wonderful park, perfect for picnics.
If you're interested in a house in Saga Forest, simply contact Lunah
regarding this as normal. The house prices are the same as on DinoStreet.
5000 gold per room in building fee and then 2000 gold per room/month in
rent.
However, we cannot allow trolls to live in Saga Forest, as it is too close
to Elven Forest and they could be tempted to go and take a snack. (It was a
rule negotiated with the elves for us to be allowed to build another area so
close to them.)

In the beginning of time the Gods shaped the world, creating the vast lands
of Imagica. By their hands landscapes were formed, seas created and in an
inattentive moment life emerged.
In different environments this life brougth forth the different races: in
the harsh norse lands Giants, Orcs and Trolls roamed the tundra's, in the
middle kingdom the house of elves claimed it's rights and in the southern
parts gnomes and kobolds cried havoc.
As the population grew the different races set out to claim new homegrounds
and grave wars and death swept across the lands. The various creatures cried
out for help in agony towards the heavens. The Gods demanded tributes for
their favors and would bestow their gifts upon the stronge and brave.
To seek out those "eternal champions" the Gods gave their chosen ones the
difficult task to retrieve long last artifacts that would lead the race to
victory in the struggle for control. The first Quests were born and were
taken on by the fiercest of adventurers who now reside at the side of the
Gods longing for the days of yore. Their names forgotten as ancient scrolls
were left to rot in damp cellars.
After the great wars and the dividing of the lands the Gods kept these
quests in honour to the fallen. Their original role was played out but the
future generations prayed to grant wisdom to and build character of their
young adventurers.
The various races even intermingled and teamed up to solve the riddles and
face the dangers the Gods set out for them. The ancient grieve seeped away
into the realm of days gone by. Even now it's thinkable that people
themselves would set up their own quests to retrieve long lost kingdoms,
treasures and arcane knowledge. Daring the young and the restless to
participate in gaining what hey believe is rightfully theirs. Yet would the
Gods be willing to cooperate with mortal life?
The solving of quest also ment great joy as it ended ancient rivalry and
brought divine rewards to the victors. Peace and prosperity filled the lands
and art thrived as never before. Many a bard or poet enlightened the
passer-by with their unique gifts. Sales-men for throughout the world
brought their goods to the outskirts of the realm, bringing along news,
skills and knowledge.
We can only imagine what good the grim future withholds.

Greetings Imagicans!
I would simply like to say that I enjoyed the Ball greatly, and I hope that
you did also. Should the occasion call upon it, I might return with my
floating castle to host another event. Who knows what the future brings?
The Ball contained a lot of laughs, drinks, food and dancing. My own chef
(whom I found amonst the elves, actually) had prepared the food, and I must
say that better food than his I have not tasted.
I was read a wonderful poem by Ploister, for which I thank him greatly.
Lunah held a small riddle contest, and the riddles were in general solved.
The ones who were first with the correct answer most times were Actaea,
Ploister and Dasmainne.
And of course, the Winner of the Role-Playing week was announced, it was no
one less than Ploister!
I hope to see you all again soon!
Sincerely,
Firevle, Queen of Fairies

Some time ago elections were held in Imagica to select a mayor for Teldar.
The winner came out as our beloved Freya. She has now had some time to
settle in her role, and I thought we should all check in on how she's doing.
L: So, Freya, you've been Mayor of Teldar for a while now, how does it feel?
F: Feels great, people are actually looking up to me now and that is
not -only- because I am a giant.:)
L:Were you surprised when you found out that you were the winner of the
election?
F: Yeah I really was, and it was a close call too, so it was no where near
certain I'd be the elected one.
L:What made you apply for Mayor of Teldar?
F: I realized Teldar needed someone like me for the job..
L:What made you choose Teldar rather than any other hometown?
F: Hmm, why not aim high right away? Fact is, Teldar is my favourite place
and I thought it'd be a true honor if I could be Mayor there for a while.
L:Do you have any plans for Teldar and your reign of it?
F: Hmm, actually I do...The Peacekeepers have brought to my attention that
they are extremely bored walking around and both the Ranger and Gravedigger
man have complained that they are never left alone and always disturbed by
death cries, so I've been thinking of placing all the peacekeepers in the
houses (since all they do is nagging about peace in the city anyway).
L:I've seen that you got yourself a nice house and garden, it's wonderful.
Planning on holding any parties there in the near future that you want to
invite someone to? *wink wink*
F: Hmm, well I've heard rumors Trixor is gonna marry this nice lady.. and I
am thinking about letting the whole garden up for the reception afterwards.
I just hope ppl won't get too drunk and trash everything the garderners
built up.. Reminds me.. I gotta talk to King Welmar, I hope he will let me
hire his cleaning ladies:)
L:Well, thanks for your co-operation, Mayor. Was nice talking to you. Any
last words of wisdom for our readers?
F: Hmm.. Citizens and Visitors of Teldar, please remember to behave, and
most important.. Have Fun! (and please don't spit your chewing gum directly
on the street, I already ruined a nice pair of shoes that way:)
