We kicked off the Anniversary celebrations in style this weekend with
Wildnodes and a Hamsterhunt, as Lusternians scrambled for victory in
these two competitive challenges!

New Celest dominated the other cities and communes on the Astral Plane
and captured the nodes, cementing their victory which earned them a
whopping 25,000 power for the Pool of Stars and thousands of wood,
marble and steel commodities as well. Congratulations Celest!

The Hamsterhunt that follows was closely contested, with Aesyra taking
first place with 318 points. Pentu came in second with 283 points, and
Kaervas third with 269. Estarra Herself descended to award Aesyra a
magical cloak woven by the Creatrix's own hand, and a pair of artifact
dice. Well done, Aesyra!

Next weekend we will have a realm-wide Quiz on Sunday the 19th, presided
over by the ever-judging Oneiroi. The winning player will earn 200
credits, and the top-ranked players will also earn credit prizes! Dust
off those history books, and be prepared for some tough and challenging
questions!

Remember that we have an unprecedented and unheard of 30% credit bonus
sale going on, and that Ironbeard will continue to visit Lusternians
throughout the week and hand out presents potentially filled with gold,
commemorative vials, artifacts and other goodies, so keep an eye out for
that drunken dwarf!
