Something New in Southern Koguryo
|
If the forums, Doctor reports that there is something new in Southern Koguryo. Obviously the latest reset included this. So what could it be? Maybe the start to new hunting grounds? The special new quest for Sa san? A new event? We'll keep you posted!

Remembering Hroth
|
Historian Qantao has asked that Nexus Atlas remind you all that the Museum needs information from you to mark the passing of our beloved Hroth. Many of you have posted in our forums but Qantao needs brief statements from you about Hroth. The way to keep memories is to record them so all can learn to know him.
Hroth was more than a person in the game. He was also the player behind the keyboard just like all of us. Please read this Community post and send your memories to Qantao and keep our history alive!
I quote Worldwalker's tribute that she posted on the forums:
"I don't know how many people remember Hroth anymore. I doubt if many people even remember me. Before I knew him as Hroth, I knew him as Bob Bledsaw. He was the person who dragged me kicking and screaming into Nexus, and nothing afterwards was quite the same. Archon, Angel, roleplayer, and sometimes pain in the neck ... he was special.
Outside of Nexus, he was even more special -- far more than most Nexus players ever knew. He was one of the Three Great Old Men who created the whole hobby of roleplaying games: Dave Arneson who invented the D&D rules; Gary Gygax who edited and published them; and Bob, whose company, Judges Guild, turned out the reams of support material that made running a game practical for everyone, long before TSR had their first adventure module in print. Without him and what he created, roleplaying games might have been only a passing fad among hardcore wargamers, and what we play today, offline and online, would never have existed. He changed the world.
Bob Bledsaw, my inspiration, my hero, my mentor, and most of all my friend, died on Saturday after a long battle with cancer. There's a link to his obituary in the tribute TSWolf posted on the Nexus Atlas news. (no, that picture is not recent, not within 25 years)
It still hasn't really sunk in that there aren't going to be any more long phone calls to chat for hours about gaming, any more odd boxes arriving in the mail, any more old archon stories or tales of the early days of the RPG industry or frantic pleas for tech support when he hosed his email software yet again. He was Winterhome Webhosting's first client; in fact, very much responsible for it existing at all. Bob was always someone I could go to for advice, or just friendship, and he gave freely of everything he had. He would give you the shirt off his back, even before you asked. He had his flaws, like any of us, but he was one of those rare few people who truly, genuinely wanted to make people happy. For over thirty years, he did that through gaming.
I first knew Bob through his creations -- I saved my baby-sitting money to buy the City-State of the Invincible Overlord back when eight bucks was a lot of money, and I still have my original copy, now in shreds, with notes scribbled all over it, additions made to the maps, and memories of old friends clinging to it everywhere. Then I knew him as a business associate, back when I was a little software company and I first spoke to him about licensing some of the old Judges Guild material. But for the past ten years, I have known him best as a dear friend.
Although Bob moved on from Nexus many years ago, in spirit he never left. He talked often about the players he had known, his friends (and occasionally enemies), the events of the early days, Orb the first GM, and all the history that has now been forgotten, but most of all about the people, especially the young people, he had known there. Nexus and its people were very special to him. So it is here that I have chosen to post my tribute to Bob Bledsaw, Hroth, the Invincible Overlord.
Goodbye, old friend. Save me a seat at the cosmic gaming table. I'll bring cookies.

Among other updates mentioned in the reset post below, they've picked a date for the release of Sa san. At least, they picked a day that they hope they'll be releasing Sa san, "Everything looks like it is on time for July 1st release of Sa san".
I wonder what other surprises they have in store for the 10th anniversary of NexusTK!

Today Mug announced that the SanSin Clan has finally recieved their clan hall. Although right now they are testing it out, it can be said that they can count on keeping what they have. The entrance is located at 20, 141 Buya which is west of south gate Buya. If you want to check out the new hall you'll either have to join the clan or contact Primogen MythicKnight or Primarch Zanna. Grats again to the young SanSin Clan.

It seems that the Merchants are not the only ones with change. Here is Aisces post from The Chronicle of the Winds Board.
A page is turned in history as a new elder takes the
reigns of the Ranger path. What will Gallum bring
in his tenure? Only time will tell.
-signed in green ink-
Aisces
MysticSeeker has done a great deal of work in his time as elder. It is sad to see him go. Although he is on his way out he has chosen a suitable Ranger to take his place. Congratulations to Gallum and his newly appointed position, and to many Hyuls of success.

New Merchant Elder
|
Paladino, elder of the Merchants, has decided to step down. Paladino is a friendly and well respected elder who will get a great pat on the back for all his work.
Beilek will be taking his spot and he has a bumpy road of Eldership ahead of him. Please congratulate him and give him the support he needs and deserves!

Remembering Leodaris
|
On the Poetry board, Archon Susanowa made a special post about a special upcoming poetry contest!
"
Theme: "Remembering Leodaris"
Lady Leodaris Xing-Normad'Or
(Yuri 16 - Hyul 4)
The "Tree of Reflections" was named by Prince Mhul following a winning poem Leodaris wrote. Leodaris was not only a poet but was also one of the first Revels hosts. Her wisdom and guidance are still followed by many in the Kingdoms. Those who don't remember her should ask the Geomancers about this remarkable woman.
"The Geomancer subpath is proud to present a ceremony to
honor a loved one - Leodaris. Leodaris has been elder of
our Subpath three times and a great help to her community.
She spread smiles and shared laughter with many. She was
also very talented. Now, in her passing, we ask that you
show your talent in her honor!
The person who wins this poetry contest will be asked to
recite their poem at the Ceremony on May 18th. So be sure
to scribe a copy of your work before sending it in! Good
luck and thank you!" "
For further information on the ceremony be sure to
watch the Nexus boards!

Reporting News

Hello folks,
I've been recieving alot of whispers recently about how to report new on Nexus Atlas. The process is pretty simple.
1. Log on to the Forums and make a post about what you found on the "Report News" section. Please include specific details as well as screen shots if possible.
2. If you are not authorized to make posts on the forums yet you can contact a reporter within nexus. You can find out who reporters are by searching under the "Contact Nexus Atlas" portion of the website which is under the "Community" tab to the left of the site. You can contact these reporters by whispering then in nexus, using Nexus Mail, or possibly emailing them or contacting them on a messenger service. ((last resort))
3. If all else fails, try making a post on the Community Board within Nexus, or even Rambling Thoughts.
Thanks for helping out, Adios!

This evening, Chancellor Magdeline of the Nangen Ministry stepped down from her position and handed the title to Elyra, who is an Oracle and Guide of her path. Elyra has been a member of the Nangen Ministry for quite some time,
joining under the guidance of Minister Liatris.
Thank you, Magdeline, for your efforts!
May Elyra's time as Chancellor be prosperous!

As Elyra is no longer able to fulfill the position with her new duties, a new Nangen Ambassador was appointed: Geomancer Vinbarton!
Congratulations, Vinbarton - and good luck with your new position!
 Ambassador Vinbarton of the Nangen Ministry
Sounds like new things are in store for the Nangen Ministry, and the future looks very bright for the nation of Nagnang! I have been told there will be many changes for the better coming their way, so please keep your eyes open!
