Aardwolf MUD Update – July 30th 2009

Four new goals seems to have become our standard, same in this update:

New Goal and extension of Soulblade:

The legendary Soulblade was broken and scattered through the sundered lands decades past. Many have sought the shards of the Soulblade, in hopes of harnessing its full power, but all have failed. It is said that only Cervantes knows how to fuse the shards and revive its powers, but even he, with all his minions of the underworld at his disposal, has failed to find all the pieces of the Soulblade.

New orignal Area and Goal – Realms of the Hawklords:

As you hike through the Five Finger Mountain range, you stumble across a set of heavy stone gates. Above you looms a huge shadow, but no clouds. Guarding the gates, which grant access to the realm above, are a pair of gateguards. They appear to be members of the legendary race, the Hawklords! It is said this reclusive race withdrew long ago to a remote location, out of distaste for interaction with any other race. But like all races, they have their own internal feuds and sometimes, even the help of an outlander is welcome.

New Goal / Replacement Area for Black Adder – Intrigues of Times Past:

Trees, ivy, and mostly time have obscured the iron gate to a forgotten place. As the gate creaks open, and you step through it, you also take a step back in time to a period of political and religious turmoil. The old king is dead and the new one celebrates. Amongst the celebrants are those who secretly conspire against the status quo. They are the Balmtor and they won’t take this turn of events lying down!

New Goal / Replacement Area for Coven – Sheila’s Cat Sanctuary:

Sheila, beloved mother and cat hoarder, has long been suffering under the strain put upon her and her family by her dear cats. It is all her children can do just to feed and control Sheila’s ever growing number of companions. To cope with the severity of their daily chores, Sheila’s sons grow increasingly more ‘creative’ with how they feed her beloved animal companions, while her daughter has learned to love the ‘finer’ side of cats. Though refusing to slim down the number of cats, Sheila has started taking on part-time helpers in hopes of meeting the ever growing needs of her ‘family’. Do you have what it takes to handle a seemingly endless hoard of cats and all the ‘joys’ that come with their care?
