K'urimja's Current Chidoja!
Posted
by: Maron
-- 11:46 PM EST
|
Hey folks!
I made it out to northeast Nagnang tonight to visit K'urimja Clan Garden, and had a rendezvous with Chongde in her famous bartending spot at the Dragon's Head Pub. When I asked what she could recommend from the menu, she listed some delicious drinks including K'urimja Kart Bomb, the Shaded Sangria, and "The Innocuous Black Jug," as well as the house wine, Charon's Ferry. (I have included a transcript of our exchange when I ordered the first item, seen below.)
Once I recuperated from this combination of Brew and Bottled Rage and poised myself, I interviewed Chongde briefly about her predecessor and her current status as leader of this Nagnang clan:
Could you please tell me anything remarkable about Chamber and how you succeeded him as "Primogen"?
"Chamber is one of the most interestin' men alive in the kingdoms. He's a figure of mystery and intrigue, who helped set us in the direction we are today. He's probably one of the most patient figures I've ever met, without exaggeration. However, matters beyond his control lead him to an absence in the kingdoms. I was serving the clan as his Taepyoja, or Primarch, in his absence. He's since fully entrusted me with the future of the clan, and remains within the halls as a trusted advisor and councilman. He remains someone I look up to, as a source of wisdom and strength.
Of course. Marvelous. Anything else you'd like to say for the future of K'urimja Clan?
"K'urimja Clan remains firmly rooted in its traditions and values. We are a family, an entire story in itself. Though many of us don't share the greyist of blood, or silver hair, we share the desire to keep a legacy going. The Unis'ae Noc live on through us. And so we shall remain. The Shade remains a comfortable and welcomin' place to stay. I hope to see many more come join us in the shadows. There's wisdom to be had, and a place to belong."
On behalf of Nexus Atlas News, congratulations to Chidoja Chongde, and thank you to Chamber for your service!

RAWR-ing Fire at Northeast Kugnae
Posted
by: Maron
-- 11:00 AM EST
|
Hey folks!
On Monday it was announced that Linuxkiddy would be passing on leadership of Tiger Clan of Koguryo to FireElement. Linuxkiddy had held the position since Hyul 110 as 33rd Primogen, and also previously as 30th Primogen between Hyul 70 and 91. Incidentally, this will be the first Tiger Clan Primogen named "Fire" since the clan's founder, FireTiger, who reigned as Primogen until Yuri 72.
FireElement relayed to me the following press release statement to inaugurate his current role:
"It is truly an honour to step into the role as Primogen of Tiger Clan. Linuxkiddy has done an amazing job and I hope to continue what he’s started by encouraging people to grow and develop. I hope to see Tiger grow in numbers over the next several moons. If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself."
On behalf of Nexus Atlas News (and myself as a member and general cat lover), congratulations to FireElement and thank you to Linuxkiddy for your service to Tiger Clan!

Butterfly Wings Fold; Lucky Pick Swings Gold
Posted
by: Maron
-- 8:27 PM EST
|
Hey folks! Happy St. Patrick's Day~!
We're seeing the crowds of butterflies and piles of cakes, chocolates, heart-shaped boxes, and Valentine card access gone for the year and replaced with everyone's favorite red-haired, green-skinned imp!
Courtesy of LinuxKiddy March 2016 post:
Lucky is back wandering around the kingdoms you must make a net first to capture him to get his pot of gold!
This a walkthrough Posted previously on NA by Vini for the St. Patrick's day event in Nexus:
Making the Lucky net
You'll need only 1 Lucky net as the same one can be shared by multiple characters. So you can either create your own or borrow from a friend. The items needed to create a Lucky net are:
Noodles (1) 
Wheat (1) 
Wolf pelt (1)
Wooden saber (1) 
Then go to Gruff smith at Sanhae Village and say "Lucky" twice to him. He'll take the items above and give you a Lucky net.
Getting the Pot of gold
1. Equip the Lucky net and it is time to find Lucky around the kingdoms. The best place to hunt for him is at Mythic Nexus since the place is small and you can easily find when he respawns and there's a Lucky there every time of the day.
To capture Lucky simply swing at him or zap until it gives a popup. Then after reading the popup, choose the last option "Tell me about your Kettle of Gold" option and then "Are you kidding? Give me the location now!".
2. After that, head to Artic land via main map and walk south of the Haeng Tavern towards the wilderness mining Area. Go to Thane's cave, purchase a Lucky pick for 5,000 coins, equip it and walk around the mining field until you get the pot of gold. The Lucky pick might break a few times during this process, but after done you can let a friend borrow it.
3. Once you find the Pot of gold click to open it and receive one of the Twelve possible gifts:
 Golden Baloom  Lucky Baloom  Golden Lantern  Luck Lantern  Golden fan
 Emerald Fan  Lucky Staff  Lucky Bouque  Clover Trinket  Golden trinket  White Trinket  White flag
You'll also get a new legend mark:
Green Ale Quest Information courtesy of March 2016 post by LinuxKiddy:
1: Go to Artic land on Map selection. Talk to Haeng, Select "Green Ale", and then select "I'd like to help and I promise I won't!"
2: Walk around in Lovers Lake in Artic Village(Southwest of map) until you get a message that water jug is full.
3: Talk to Haeng again, select "Green Ale" once more.
4: Run around to collect (10) Barley from Ssal's Farm in Kugnae(south gate and up)around coords x112, y142.
5: Talk to Haeng again(Green Ale).
6: Say 'Hops' to NPC in Du Mountain(outside Arctic Inn, go down-left, across bridge and up). Select "As a matter of fact, YES! I need some badly." He will give you Dried hops.
7: Talk to Haeng once again(Green Ale).
8: Say 'Yeast' in Spruce Inn in Sanhae Valley(outside Arctic Inn, go down and right) coords x017, y031. You will recieve "Ale Yeast"
9a: Talk to Haeng AGAIN(Green Ale).
9b: Walk around near x65, y15 Woodlands to collect 5 Green Algae.
10: Talk to Haeng again(Green Ale), you will have to wait 15 minutes real time.
11: Talk to Haeng, he will give you Famous green ale and a legend mark:  ,
and some XP(Based on your level/mark).
12: You can either drink the ale to walk dizzy for a few seconds, OR go back to the NPC in Du Mountain and give him the ale for some more XP (Based on your level/mark).
May your days be many and your troubles be few. May all God's blessings descend upon you. May peace be within you, may your heart be strong.

New Silla Primogen!
|
Last Monday evening Silla Primogen SoulHunter shifted the sands in Nagnang's Silla Clan and passed the title of Primogen to Ranfield. SoulHunter served as Primogen of Silla for 3 years. Under his leadership Silla Clan became one of the most powerful Clans in the Kingdoms, even winning Nagnang Olympics several times.
I'd like to congratulate Primogen Ranfield on his new position. He served in as a Council member for several Hyuls, during which he recruited over fifty members along with hosting numerous events. I met with Primogen Ranfield just after he ascended and he had a few words to share:
"I'm very excited and honored to be leading this incredible clan. Silla has a long, rich history of being one of the elite clans of all the Kingdoms and it is a privilege to serve our clan members day in and day out."
"I'm looking forward to continuing to build great relations with our Royal Nagnang family, and our beautiful home. After strengthening our homeland, I welcome building and maintaining strong relations with our neighbors and clans within."

Trial of Brine Commences
|
Queen Lasahn and General Neji of Buya, and King ChaeRi and General Heira of Nagnang overlooked the Royal Court on the appointed hour. The criminal, Bronislava "Brine" Natkhlorovich, was formally accused of her numerous crimes, and asked to recount for the court the events that lead her to this point. A sizeable crowd watched in silence for the proceedings.
Her account was parallel to what had been previously reported here on Nexus Atlas.
On the bombing and theft of royal property:
"... What else is there to recount? Yes, I got sick of Sidecut [General Neji] and his cronies stepping on my toes, so I busted open a cage and then ran off with the stupid cat suit [Queen Lasahn's Sun Tigress Mail Dress] as payback... It didn't fit, so I went to pawn it off and then head off to Gogoon to live my days in solitude, happily ever after, la dee da."
On the escape to Covenant Hall and the reported 2 million gold damage done to the Buya Library:
"Y'think I'd be so presumptuous to assume they'd provide shelter from the imminent pitchfork-slash-conga line? No... I went back to Buya to torch the library some, simply out of spite..."
On why she sold the counterfeit armor at the Merchant Midnight Madness:
"Well, I -didn't- get caught, so at least part of my wittle dastawdly scheme worked out in my favor, didn't it? Besides, I don't recall the market guidelines mentioning anything about being allowed to jump a vendor at their own stall."
On the attempted murder of General Neji:
"... Oh, what's there to say, really... I had places to be, and he was in the way, all vim and vigor... Or I just thought it'd be funny. Who can really say?"
The defendant did not contest any of the charges or refute any of the reports. Regarding her motive, she said, "... I hate people. Especially ones like him, that one, her... [She motioned to Prince Mobon, Kintsugi, and BatSheba in the gallery] who all act like they're above those of my... ilk. They caught me on a bad day and I lashed out. That's it. That's the story."
King ChaeRi, with the approval of Buya, sentenced Brine, stating, "For the next Hyul, you will serve the Buyan Imperial Army under General Neji's supervision until the damages you have committed have been repaid in full. If you fail to meet these conditions, you will be executed by Nagnang."
Brine was then transferred into the care of the BIA, where she will be expected to help repair the damages caused from the blast.

Brine Captured, Trial Set
|
News out of Nagnang
The prisoner, Bronislava "Brine" Natkhlorovich, currently being held in the Nagnang Palace Prison, is charged with the following crimes:
Bombing of the BIA Barracks
Theft of Royal Property
Arson of the Buya Library
Evading Arrest
Attempted Murder
Sale of Counterfeit Goods
Sale of Stolen Goods
The story begins with a public event taking place on the steps of the palace in Buya. Allegedly, taking advantage of the scene out front, Brine detonated a bomb in the BIA Barracks and made away with Queen Lasahn's Sun Tigress Mail Dress from the royal armory.
General Neji of the BIA, General Heira of the RGN, and allies from the community proceeded in a manhunt for the suspect, which lead them to Gogoon. Brine escaped through the use of a Kindred Talisman, leading the search back to the mainland. Amidst the chaos, Brine is then accused of starting a fire in the Buya library, reportedly to destroy historical documents.
Brine is reported as having attempted to sell a copy of the purloined armor at a Merchant Midnight Madness. The counterfeit was surrendered to Prince Daeso by a well-to-doer.
General Neji called upon a second manhunt on the premise of a 5 million gold reward. Brine made an appearance, stabbing the general before making a getaway. He has recovered from the injury. Brine was apprehended by BloodofThor and Aquariuss in the depths of the Nagnang Library after a public call for her apprehension. She was transferred to Nangen custody, and remains under the watch of the Royal Guard of Nagnang.
Brine is now awaiting trial, to be held on March 2, 10:00 PM EST, with the presence of King ChaeRi of Nagnang, and Queen Lasahn of Buya. The location of the trial will be announced prior to the event.
To answer the question, "why" Brine sought to perform the accused crimes, consider the following quote from her interrogation:
"D'you really think I do the things I do, for-- for attention?! For MONEY?! I'm not what you clods would like me to be! I'm not some dime-a-dozen delinquent or spineless turncoat! There IS no endgame! No tragic backstory! I just really... REALLY... hate PEOPLE!!!"
