Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Hello there everyone! Xaphon Zessen here, but you can all call me Xap if you like! If you've ever spent any time in the Desert you might say my surname sounds familiar. Well, you've probably come across some of my family; I've got brothers and sisters and cousins and aunties and uncles all over the place, even in the other lands...

You might well ask why I'm telling you all this... Well I just got promoted to the rank of reporter for the Atys Chronicles and I've heard that all you guys and girls love to know what's going on around the place; you know, anything strange or interesting and you're climbing the walls to find out about it nearly. That's where I come in - my family means I have an ear to the bark all the time, and as a Chronicler I'm in a position to let everyone know what's going on. All I ask is that you do me, my family, or a friend of mine a little favour every once in a while. Handy for everyone, huh?

I've already sent a message to this Lanist guy who does all the races and gladiator competitions, and we've agreed that he'll let you all know about those competative sporting events, and I'll keep you up to speed on everything else.

To celebrate my promotion, I think I'd like to meet you all in person some time, and I need to take messages and gifts to my relations around Atys as well... To be honest with you I've never left the Desert except for a few holidays when I was younger, so I'll need your help to make the journey - and if any other fresh faced refugees want to make the trip with us, I'm sure you won't mind right? So you guys and girls all invite your friends and we can make it a big trip for everyone, kind of like a party or something!

I'll meet you all just inside the Cerakos Gate in Pyr in a couple of days (Sunday 26th, 8pm GMT) and we can make the first leg of the trip - to Fairhaven via Zora... I'll tell you about the return trip when we get to Fairhaven, but it should take me one night to sort everything out before we can go to Yrkanis, and then back to Pyr.

I think that's all I need to tell you at the moment, so I guess I'll see you all in a couple of days!

hmm If this is in character as it should be.. This person gotta be aged 14 or so...

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Nice to see this. :)

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

14?

young, yes. would have said about 18-20.

but to QFE:


;)

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Sounds like an great entertainment for a while, instead of digging and plodding. Sometimes this type of events are very welcome for bored players :P

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

I am going to confront this Homin 'bout my stolen title. Shameful, really.

*pats Beau on the back* Competition makes life a little less dull ;)

Congratulations on your promotion mister Zessen, I will be looking forward to see you in action. The Atys Chronicles have indeed been very quiet lately. I can't honestly blame them...There is not much going on worth reporting at the moment...

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Yes unless he is going to report faction fights and flamewars :)
But yes I think It's nice to have someone doing at least some RP :)
My first post was meant as "welcome" but in the light of other inflamed threads it went a bit acquard :D

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Whilst mass treks are always good fun and this one was as good as any..Wouldn't it be great to see some dev interaction in this to add to it..it wouldn't take much maybe one small kitin patrol of about 5 kinchers in a place they shouldn't be would probably keep us excited for a good long time. it wouldn't take much to impress us after all this time but a token would be..well really nice :)

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Aye it was good fun :) Maybe next time some surprises on the way?

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Under the guidance of Elusha, and with the help of many other brave homins, we made it to Zora to meet my cousin, then later to Fairhaven as well. I have to do some paperwork at the Fairhaven office of the Chronicles, so I'll be continuing my trip tomorrow (Monday 27th, 9pm GMT) - please meet me at Fairhaven bar so we can travel to Yrkanis to meet my Auntie Xatheus. Hopefully it will be quite a short trip, but I want to spend some time in the Forest with my family there before heading back to Pyr :)

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

I need to apologize, Xaphon. You did not steal my title. It was just given to the better Homin! You were very friendly, and although you had no idea where to go, it was still a great trek.
Of course, thanks to those 'mins that had fighting abilities. I'm basically useless in a pinch.

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

This time is was Thara who led the way for us, deftly getting us from Fairhaven to Yrkanis with the minimum of trouble. Thanks to you and to all of the other homins who accompanied us, I managed to find my Auntie and will be staying the night with her and some other relatives in Yrkanis, before heading back home to Pyr to meet up with Lanist. Please meet me at the stage in Yrkanis tomorrow (Tuesday 28th, 10pm GMT) for the last leg of my journey! Lanist promised to put on a mektoub race for everyone as well, so if you want to participate you better make sure you have a mount in Pyr ;)

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Oh this is very good..I missed the tail end of your arrival in Yrk, so now I can say I made it to the end. As long as I don't get called away during TOMORROW as well! :)

Re: Introducing Xaphon Zessen
 

Wow! Well its been a whirlwind few days since I was promoted and with your help I've been to all of the capital cities of Atys and met lots of new people! Thanks to Kirijoleth who lead us on the final leg of the trip, and thanks again to everyone else who helped me over the three days!

Congratulations to Thewizard and Kilgoretrout who came first and second in the race Lanist laid on for us when we reached Pyr; it was a hard run thing, but they won out in the end.

You've shown that you're capable of getting together and helping me out with things, so like I said before, I'll be sure to keep you up to date with anything interesting I hear. As a matter of fact, Lanist asked me to look into something for him during our discussion after the race, so I'm going to ask around and if I come up with anything, I'll let you all know as well.

Keep an eye out for me here and in the Chronicles - most of what you see there in the News section will probably be from me, but not all of it mind you - as much as I'd like to take all the credit there's more people than just me around. Till the next time!
