APRIL CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hey, fairybros! As a reminder, please keep an eye on the Timeskip Calendar, which we'll be updating again relatively shortly, and which has seen MANY updates since first being posted. A helpful player also posted a Timeskip Check-In Meme! You are free to log timeskipped encounters at your leisure, etc., etc., and timeskip logs on your character journal CAN count for AC, when it goes up at the end of this month!
But now on to equally important news and mod announcements!
HARTSLAYERS
Congratulations to Katsa and Diarmuid, who slew the White Hart over Yule! Fairies and imps will give these two white cloaks and 200 gold pieces, and for a time they will be called by Hartslayer.
BOON REQUIREMENTS
Don't forget that you will need 1,000 words per monthly event to make boons! Boons WILL go up at the end of this month. The two events which will be counted towards boons are: the freezing event of last month and the harp event for this month.
TAGGING
Fairybros! PLEASE remember to tag your character in ANY log or network thread they participate in! :) This helps your fellow players stay up-to-date! For those unaware, tags are as follows: (character first: canon). Many locations now also have tags, including three of the spires (Archer Point, Diasbaile, and Srathmarbh), the Cothromach, Mair, Redgate, Troichean Beinn, the Barrel, Azure, Leathann, and Treun.
MONTHLY EVENT
But what about THIS month? Most of you already know exactly what to expect, so, without further ado, your April event!

The Song of the Harp GENRE: MYSTERY/MAGIC | DURATION: 01-25 APRIL |

SUMMARY Shardbearers throughout the drabwurld are plagued by the sound of a phantom harp from time to time, and find that their emotions tend to run far too deep when the haunting melody starts to begin! From wild ecstasies to deep depression, characters experience the gamut, seemingly uncontrollably. They even hear the strange song playing in their dreams.
Once asleep, characters can isolate and follow the sound to where a golden harp seems to be playing itself, in whatever setting their dream takes. Smashing the harp in their dreams will relieve them of their wild emotions.
By the 25th, the effect of the harp is mostly gone, even for those who did not smash the harp in their dreams. Some players may elect to have their characters play the harp, in which case something interesting happens, as demonstrated by this log with Dorian.

Only individuals who complete at least 1,000 words of logging in each of the March and April events will be eligible for boons for April! Quest logs will not count toward this event.

AS FOR THE SNOW-CLEARING EVENT
She hasn't met the boon requirement for that, either! Would anyone like to backtag? Paloma is Unseelie but not hostile toward-- well, anyone. Some common places she can be found are in Srathmarbh/spire 9, Loch Noa, random points between in the mountains and forest. But I can also possibly work something else out!
