We are back with the Retrospective of the year in Nexus TK, after a long break. The last one was in 2013, in 2016 which was very good year for Nexus I started writing one, but never finished or published it, but now I'm very happy to announce the 2017 edition of this traditional recap of the main news of our beloved realm.

The longest Eldership has come to an end & the New Elder of Druids
Posted
by: Vini
-- 9:50 PM EST
|
Today was a historic day for Nexus as this was the day in which ended the longest eldership of the realm. Today was the day when Elder Foxfire chose to step down after 61 hyuls ((7 years and almost 9 months)) leading their subpath. This a historic day as Foxfire was the elder that endured for longest in the position and not just that, she served actively until the last day.
Now, during her well-earned retirement Foxfire chose to appoint Jisong to be the new leader of the path. Jisong has served as guide twice, first one was back around Yuri 50-70's and second one began couple years ago and continues now in a new shape during his eldership. " I want to thank Foxfire for her incredible devotion to the Druid family during some of the most trying times of the kingdoms. And I hope that I can continue the Druid traditions alive and well", said Elder Jisong.
Nexus Atlas congratulates Elder Jisong on his new position and thanks Foxfire the amazing service she provided to Druids and Nexus community overall through these years.

Wisdom Star and Last Chance Santa

Last Chance Santa!
Alilolelotte posted last week about a Bonus Santa Mhul. The snowman will appear at East Kugnae at 5pm pst/8pm est on 12/28. It will only last two hours.
WISDOM STAR
There was a reset this morning for the Wisdom Star. Wony also posted a message at the end of the announcement to enjoy it, as it may be our last.
I wonder if it depends on whether or not this one is abused, as the last ones have, or if they've decided to send it away regardless?

Royal Santas' Cause - event is starting soon!
Posted
by: Vini
-- 6:00 PM EST
|
In 1 hour starts again the traditional yearly "Royal Santa's Cause" promoted by the royals of Koguryo, Buya and Nagnang. Although most of the community is well-aware of how these four days of charity works, here is a short guide for the new people:
Royal Santa's Cause Event:
12/15 - 6:00pm pst - 10:00pm pst (9:00pm est - 1:00am est) - Friday
12/16 - 3:00pm pst - 7:00pm pst (6:00pm est - 10:00pm est) - Saturday
12/17 - 4:00pm pst - 8:00pm pst (7:00pm est - 11:00pm est) - Sunday
During the times announced, the Royals of the three kingdoms get together in a Holiday Workshop and share gifts with citizens that gather around and come to greet them. Each person ((character)) can only get a present per year and the contents of what is inside the gift boxes are completely random.
To reach the workshop make sure you have two empty spots in your inventory then talk to the snowmen located close to the kingdoms gates and enter the holidays celebration area (((only available to registered characters)). Such area consists of three rooms. First is the Cold Snowy Maze, where people must walk through narrow corridors and sometimes be greeted by ministry members, soldiers, clan and subpath members who volunteer their time to wish happiness to others. Next, they cross a long field called Frozen Walk and then reach the Holiday Workshop where they can meet with the royals and be awarded a free gift.
This tradition began years ago as an event organized by Koguryo Ministry known as "Santa Mhul", inspired by celebrations done at the lands far to the west. With the growing popularity of the event it became larger and now is officially held by not just King M'hul, but also by Queen Lasahn of Buya and King ChaeRi of Nagnang as well. The Royal Santa's cause is an event that symbolizes ability to understand and share the feelings of another. The holidays season happens during the Winter Solstice, when the days have less hours of sunlight, to remind us about the importance of empathy even in the darkest hours of humanity. It is a time to let generosity reign and let greed fade aside. If you get a gift that you don't need, a person next to you may be needing it. If you can't give back to the generosity to the Royals during this event, pay it forward.
Please remember that people are biologically hardwired to perform their best when they are happy. People who are happy, positive and optimistic are more energetic, experience less stress, have less anxiety, can remain calm in high pressure situations, recover from illness faster and live longer. Happiness is contagious, so spread happiness today!

Santa Mhul starts today!
Posted
by: Loxie
-- 3:30 PM EST
|
|
What can you expect when participating in Santa Mhul? Here's the lowdown -
First you'll need to be registered. You can participate on as many characters as you have registered, across however many accounts.
All gifts are random and can be just about anything. Some items gained from Santa Mhul in the past have been unsigned royal pardons (erases a previous crime), sun armors, zibong rings, and sevenleaf swords. Unfortunately the most likely outcome is less exciting - 95 weapons, star staff, and assorted things you probably have no interest in. If you do get something and you don't know what it is, research the value before you accept a trade for it. Especially in the case of zibong rings.
These rings are the Bae ring (75 poet), Gi ring (75 mage), Hea ring (warrior 75), Kwong ring (45 rogue), Min ring (75 rogue), Shen ring (Poet 45), Wing ring (45 warrior), and Zhiyuan ring (45 mage).
After the server reset the snowmen at each of the gates will whisk you away to the santa mhul maze. Run through the end (may want to bring a horse), thank the Royals attending, and open the present you received!
The event today starts at 6pm PST/9pm EST.

Legend of Samjok-o
Posted
by: Vini
-- 11:56 PM EST
|
There seems to be a new legend on the libraries Legend scroll. Today Arkanis found some of the scrolls laying around on Kugnae West gate and when he opened it, noticed a new legend available with the title "Samjok-o". The legend was posted by a person called Yondung, who signed it as "Spirit Guide". To buy a Legend go to any kingdom library and purchase them for 2,000.
Check out the copy of the legend post available at the scroll:
BOARD TITLE: Legend
FROM: Yondung DATE: 8/9
SUBJECT: Samjok-o
Scholars and historians have unfolded some old legends of a celestial black bird known as Samjok-o. The Samjok-o or "Sam-Jok-Oh" is a three-legged crow with golden wings. It is believed to be the only creature in all existence that can enter and reside in the Sun because of its black feathers, while a turtle lived in the moon. Due to its unique powers, Samjok-o was revered by ancient tribes as the one divine being that connects the heavens and the earth. The power of Samjok-o is believed to superior to both Dragons and phoenixes.
Those legends intertwine with the stories of the foundation of Koguryo, as some believed that Jumong's mother was impregnated by sunlight and gave birth to an egg. Some people believed back then that Jumong had been born with the power of Samjok-o or the protection of it. While the legends show little evidence of its existence, the writings of multiple sources and symbols of the three-legged bird found at Jumong's Tomb can prove otherwise.
- Yondung
- Spirit Guide |
Very little is known about the three legged bird and very little could be found about it. So far, we could find the image of the 3 legged bird in Kugnae Tower arena battle rooms. Same symbol can also be found on Bringer Arena from Carnage of Riches.
As the legend suggest, the legend of the Samjok-o connects with the story of how Jumong was born. For those who don't know about Jumong, he was the father of King Yuri and probably father of Sagu too. He was King M'hul grandfather. So far it is not known where Jumong's tomb is located, but if anyone knows, it is probably MuHyul.
There isn't much known about Yondung. That's the only mention we could find of him/her. It's the third time the Kingdoms of the Winds hears from a Spirit Guide since the early days. First one was Eldridge who appeared just before the Shattering and disappeared around Yuri 70. Then second one was Abu, who appeared around Hyul 30 and turned out to be a villainous one, who Mug sacrificed to save us from. Now after 60 Hyuls another Spirit Guide seems to be sharing legends of the kingdoms again. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will tell.

New NA staff and Thanksgiving event "Easter Eggs"
Posted

Hiya,
I am very happy to announce that I have joined the Nexus Atlas news team as reporter and resident cartographer. These lands are always changing and new areas are always being discovered, I will do my very best to get these places mapped out accurately for ya. Maps are the core of Nexus Atlas after all.
In addition to that exciting news here are some fun "Easter Eggs" that were hidden in the recent/current Thanksgiving event with the privateers.
Quartermaster Blanchet says "we're going to need a bigger boat" a subtle reference to the movie Jaws, by chief Brody.
First Mate Gousqueton says "the mooncake is a lie" a twist on the popular phrase "the cake is a lie" from the game 'Portal'.
The Sailing Master Primaud has quite a few depending on how you answer him when he asks where he is. He will say either "I had a feeling we were not in Shilla anymore" or "Our home is the sea and there's no place like home" both Wizard of Oz references.
The Sailing Master also says "This is your fault. I'm going to kill you. All the mooncake is gone" as well as "You don't even care, do you?" some fun Portal 2 (video game) references.
Boatswain Mazin says "I hope they die of dysentery" hmm this one feels like a vague reference to the game Oregon Trail "You have died of dysentery"or perhaps I am way off in looking for Easter Eggs.
Also, for those of you who noticed the name of the privateers is bolded and underlined? Well, that's because their names also hide easter eggs too. Blanchet, Gousqueton, Primaud and Mazin are names inspired by Planchet, Mousqueton, Grimaud and Bazin (shifting the first letter of each name) who were servants of the Musketeers in the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Mursketeers -> privateers, get the reference?
Were you able to find more? Let us know!
Till next time,

Server Reset - Halloween Event Ends
Posted
by: Vini
-- 8:41 AM EST

Earlier this morning the Nexus servers were reset and removed both versions of Halloween event:
the trick or treat + costume collection quest
Kangsee from cemeteries + Changmu Town + Turtle Shell Cave
This means that people can no longer enter Nagnang Haunted House nor visit the Road to Shilla anymore. However, the outside area of Nagnang Haunted House remained, as well as the Nagnang Gorge and Pae River. Hopefully they might end up becoming permanent additions.
Also, it seems that Thanksgiving message now sends a thankful note instead of the token. Which has same spirit of thanking a person, but without the exp part.
BOARD TITLE: Dream Weaver
FROM: NexusTK DATE: 12/1
SUBJECT: Quick Reset - Dec. 1st, 2017
- Trick or Treat and Halloween event closed. (Some event item will be removed later on)
- Thankful token has been replaced with Thankful note. Thankful note does not give out Exp. (Please see Wony's Rambling Thoughts post #178 |
The Thanksgiving quests continue available so people who are aiming to become legendary turkey hunters 500+ can still work on their caged turkeys for a while longer.
