My name is Robb French, Producer of Lusternia, also known as Estarra the Eternal. At the end of each year, I review the prior year in Lusternia. While I believe 2011 has gone smoothly, I will admit that I am disappointed that the playerbase hasn’t grown as much as I had hoped. A larger playerbase…

Ail’an Gloria had a final parting gift for the Heir of Ellindel, Sondayga Zayah – a great acorn, many times the size of those birthed by oak trees. With a whispering thought the Giving Tree had told Sondayga what he must do, and so the Heir of Ellindel traveled into the Icewynd, seeking out the…

With the Soulless God Zenos freed, the Basin of Life were gripped in his clutches, as he sent the deadly Kilgaru wind rampaging throughout the land. It seemed all hope was lost. But then a slim ray of hope appeared. Answering the call of the Tree of Trees, druids gathered to try and decipher the…

For several months, prophesies have led to the unearthing of the new quatrains from the Verses of Magnora, but what these dire foretellings could mean was a cipher to scholars of the Basin of Life. Then, without warning, a storm of red clouds blew in from the north, ruby red eyes flashing among the crimson…

In Dioni, a scant few months after Clarramore Manor secured manufacturing and distribution of a new perfume, a cart was seen loading materials and workers into the manor’s upper level, much to the consternation of Lady Hyacinth.
