Order of the Purple Thistle

"According to a legend, an invading Norse army was attempting to sneak up at night upon a Scottish army's encampment. During this operation one barefoot Norseman had the misfortune to step upon a thistle, causing him to cry out in great pain. His cries alerted the Scots to the presence of the Norse invaders and saved many lives..."

There exists amongst us an order of hidden people. Exceptional individuals who are entrusted to keep guard over Aranock's ancient secrets and most holy treasures. This group of individuals have been crucial in shaping Aranock's future and preventing the destruction in our land often warning us of impending attack using methods that demand the cost of their lives. They take on this grave duty for the love of our people, for the love of skua and for the greater good, but most of all they protect what is most vehemently hidden, in fear of the secret that could change everything.......

"defend ye till death the veil of night, thy secret hidden in plain sight, lest fall the stars where will they go? For what they do-they do not know"

Will you become a Knight of the Order of the Purple Thistle?

Due to a very poor turn out, and the LQ's proximity to Gmoon encouraging the few players online to pent instead of participating, I have decided to postpone this event until SUNDAY 30TH @ 10pm GMT. For those of you who are online tonight please note that a smaller event WILL still be held for those who want it and you will not go without entertainment.

Please note that the Order of the Thistle will be a major event and players are encouraged to participate on Sunday if they can do so.

NOTE: I am happy to consider an alternative time on Sunday if its more convenient to the majority of players and within reason relative to my own time zone. Please post suggested alternative times in the Town Square section for discussion.
