Cheesesteak:

{{Historynav}} {{Historical Article}}
This is a list of historical events that happened on Shartak during 2009.

==January==
*The new constitution of the [[Peninsular Federation]], a political union of Derby and Port Breton superseding the slowly disintegrating [[Eastern Federation]], was drafted by Baron Surcouf. The concept of a new ruling power in Derby was enthusiastically received by its citizens.

*The [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]] maintained its siege of [[Wiksik]]. An [[Island Alliance]] was proposed by the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] for the purposes of stopping bloodshed across Shartak including the attack on [[Wiksik]], and resolving the competing claims to the ruins north of Durham known [[Fort Creedy]] and [[Great Southall]]. Negotiations over the Alliance treaty also served as a vehicle for the GSUC's claim to the ruins known as Chastity or [[The Pirate's Rest]] near the [[shipwreck]]. The Alliance was immediately rejected by the [[Pirate High Command]] and the [[Rakmogaki Collective]]. The treaty itself fell apart as neither side wished to give an inch.

*A small, loose and drunken coalition of pirates led by the [[Pirate High Command]] attacked [[Dalpok]].

*[[The Rakmogaki Collective]] learn that one of their fabled treasures, the [[Obsidian Spear]] was stolen by pirates. The Collective joined forces with the [[Bone Gnawers]] to raid the shipwreck in search of the artifact. After a few weeks, the [[Pirate High Command]] attempts to intervene, abandoning their raid on [[Dalpok]], but only to fall to the overwhelming cannibal horde.

*The spirits of the ancestors reveal the location of their [[Sacred Space]] within the summit of [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/Mountain#Mountain Mt. Shartak], in response to the escalating violence among the island's inhabitants.

==February==
*A young ambitious cannibal known as Nihilo finds the [[Obsidian Spear]]. The cannibals quickly depart from the shipwreck after finding the treasure.
*[http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=16557 Ravioli Machitty] sets a ground-breaking record of 5,207 XP for [http://www.shartak.com/statdaily.html daily XP gains] by blowing the conch inside the [[Sacred Space]].
*The [[Kingdom of Skulls]], attacked York, attacking the med hut and other various gathering places. The attack was repelled by the Greater Shartak Unity Coalition.
*De La Coiffe and the GSUC host [http://forum.shartak.com/index.php/topic,2065.0.html| Native Awareness Month], a month-long holiday in which the celebrators slaughter natives around the entire island for a grand prize of three heavy swords and 2,000 gold coins.
*The Collective attempt to rid the Durham Peninsula of natives and outsiders alike, for treading on holy ground.

==March==
*[[The Rakmogaki Collective]] continues it's attack on Durham, but with many hurdles to overcome. The outsiders of Durham repeatedly slaughter the roaming shaman, and the relative isolation of Durham save many Durhamites from repeated slaughter.
*A cannibal known as Tkltchk is honored by the deceased spirit of Kalmogal, and receives his glove and becomes his chosen champion. The cannibals disperse from Durham to an unknown location.

==April==
*The cannibal Nihilo slaughters over 30 Derbians in one night. He dubbed this orgy of death and destruction as the "Harvesting of Souls" as tribute to the ancestors.
*[http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=17391 Nihilo] dethrones Ravioli Machitty's record of most XP gained in a day with a monumental 5,528 XP through quaffing an exorbitant amount of fungi juice and slaying the townspeople of Derby.

==May==
*Despite considerable outsider resistance, [[Ph]] and the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] eventually siege and raze [[York]].

==June==
*[[The Rakmogaki Collective]] descends upon the village of [[Dalpok]]...

Following months of escalating violence on the island throughout late 2008 to January 2009, the spirits of the ancestors revealed the location of their sacrosanct grove for all of the island's inhabitants who sought refuge from the mainland carnage.

As the refuge itself is protected by the spirits of the ancestors, hostile players will find themselves unable to score hits on other players, resulting in the following message being displayed:
:''The spirits of the ancestors cause your attack to miss. A chilling voice whispers, “This is sacred ground. You shall not harm others here.”''

From the [http://www.shartak.com/news.html official Shartak newsletter] on January 27, 2009:

:''27 January, 2009 - The spirits of the ancestors reveal their temple''

:''• The spirits of the ancestors have seen how badly violence is affecting the island. Their descendants fight themselves, as well as the outsider menace, causing island-wide chaos. They have decided to reveal the way to their ancient temple location and offer a safe haven for those who wish to flee the conflict.''
:''• The sacred space will not allow violent souls to enter or leave without paying a price and the ancestors will protect all those who reside there.''

==Temple of the Ancestors==
The sacred temple reachable only by climbing the temple walkways in Sacred Space. Consists of a stream of fresh water, songbirds, four staircases, several unique huts and buildings, and a roaming [[trader]] by the name of Tamdal.

[[Image:Sacred_Space_Temple_Cave.png|thumb|Try not to get lost in this extremely complex labyrinth]] The catacomb is an underground circular cavern located under the Sacred Temple and consists of tunnels, a pool of water, a fungi vein, other subterranean sights and terrors.

Gateways are mystical blue arches located in each of the eight camps that transport a player into the gateway juncture inside the Sacred Space. When entering a gateway, [[AP]] penalties are incurred on the player depending how violent they are i.e. a peaceful player is not penalized at all for entering a gateway. When leaving a gateway from Sacred Space, if you have recently committed an act of violence (not including to animals), the following message is displayed:
:''You close your eyes and step through the archway, your thoughts focusing on where you came from. The spirits of the ancestors are angered by your recent violence and as you are returned to your point of origin, a bolt of lightning appears from nowhere and strikes you. You die.''

Notes:
* The above is a territory map, not a map of jungle density (which constantly changes). Therefore, the jungle and village squares will very likely be colored differently in-game than they are here. Squares within the village will be displayed as "Durham" on the game map, and jungle squares will be displayed as "Jungle".
* The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.

== Points of Interest ==

=== Trail to York ===
Starting at the ammunition hut, move 3 squares north east, then follow the trail eastward (eventually turning south east and then east again) until you arrive in York.

=== Durham Dojo ===
Durham Dojo is a combat training facility run by Durham Utility. We provide a place for people to practice their fighting skills and gain XP through practice fights with each other or with the combat instructor. Everyone is welcome to take advantage of this free service. Any weapon/method of attack is allowed, but killing is not permited.

==Groups Operating in Durham==
Durham, being the 2nd most populous city after [[York]] has a few groups currently operating in it.

'''Sacred Space''' is a unique non-PvP zone located within the summit of Mt. Shartak. Following months of escalating violence on the island throughout late 2008 to January 2009, the spirits of the ancestors revealed the location of their sacrosanct grove for all of the island's inhabitants who sought refuge from the mainland carnage.

As the refuge itself is protected by the spirits of the ancestors, hostile players will find themselves unable to score hits on other players, resulting in the following message being displayed:
:''The spirits of the ancestors cause your attack to miss. A chilling voice whispers, “This is sacred ground. You shall not harm others here.”''

== History ==
[[Image:Sacredfinalaf4.jpg|thumb|All your base are belong to Cy]]

===News===
From the [http://www.shartak.com/news.html official Shartak newsletter] on January 27, 2009:

:''27 January, 2009 - The spirits of the ancestors reveal their temple''

:''• The spirits of the ancestors have seen how badly violence is affecting the island. Their descendants fight themselves, as well as the outsider menace, causing island-wide chaos. They have decided to reveal the way to their ancient temple location and offer a safe haven for those who wish to flee the conflict.''
:''• The sacred space will not allow violent souls to enter or leave without paying a price and the ancestors will protect all those who reside there.''

[[Image:Picture4tl2.png|thumb|Inside the Temple of the Ancestors]]

==Temple of the Ancestors==
The sacred temple reachable only by climbing the temple walkways in Sacred Space. Consists of a stream of fresh water, songbirds, four staircases, several unique huts and buildings, and a roaming [[trader]] by the name of Tamdal.

* The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.

== Catacombs ==
[[Image:Sacred_Space_Temple_Cave.png|thumb|Try not to get lost in this extremely complex labyrinth]] The catacomb is an underground circular cavern located under the Sacred Temple and consists of tunnels, a pool of water, a fungi vein, other subterranean sights and terrors. As of February 10, 2009, players are able to engage in PvP combat in this location.

== Gateways ==
Gateways are arches located in each of the eight camps that transport a player into the gateway juncture inside the Sacred Space. When entering a gateway, [[AP]] penalties are incurred on the player depending how violent they are i.e. a peaceful player is not penalized at all for entering a gateway. When leaving a gateway from Sacred Space, if you have recently committed an act of violence (not including to animals), the following message is displayed:
:''You close your eyes and step through the archway, your thoughts focusing on where you came from. The spirits of the ancestors are angered by your recent violence and as you are returned to your point of origin, a bolt of lightning appears from nowhere and strikes you. You die.''

Gateways with their respective camps and locations are listed as following:

==Introduction (Who and What We Are)==
Emoism is kind of a contemporary spoof group. You join for the sake of joining.
People in Emoism aren't necessarily emo, but they do have to be pretty nonchalant.

Hopefully you sense the facetiousness in the previous declaration.

Other than having to be a chill person, there are no other requirements, besides know how to play the game and follow instructions competently.

A lot of us travel around, meet new people, then kill them if they're violent. Not all of us though. We have a member who solely heals people. That's pretty cool too.

==What We're Not==
Emoism is not a mercenary group. We will definitely not expend our resources on a single target.
We will probably not attack a settlement or a group of people for you, for under less than 1000 GC, of course...

==Current objectives==
* The Raid on Rakmogak is now in full swing. My heavy sword is a toothbrush, and I use it to smite the cannibals who don't get proper diets. I am Rakmogak's dentist with a revelation -- and that is to not keep targeting Derby!
* Emoism's members should be prepated with the following before entering combat (of course, there's no stopping you if you want to rush into battle and die shortly after):
** The 10 staple skills for outsiders (Everyone should already know what these are)
** 1x backpack
** 3x machetes (coupled with Balanced Stance), if you have bad luck with breaking them, pack more.
** 1x knife
** 10x FAKs or more. I packed 85 for the raid. The more you pack at one time, the more efficient the ordeal becomes.
** ~30x Gold Coins or more. Gold is not as important as the other resources.
*** Useful for bartering with the Trader when other resources get scarce.

==Sh*tlist==
This is a list that includes certain players who have egregiously sabotaged Emoism-related plans. As such, they are high-priority targets and kill-on-sight (if you see them of course; you can't kill them on sight if you can't see them).
*[http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=15915 Bud the Chud] - for the killing of fellow Emoism member [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=12575 a giant parakeet] and conspiring with kraken.
*[http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=16562 isrzak01] - killed fellow Emosim member [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=7636 Remalle]. F*ck him up.

==Communication==
IRC, PM system on the forum, or forum coordination. IRC is for real-time coordination.

==Policies==
Absolutely NO in-game tensions are to be brought to the forum. I have to stress again that Emoism is ''apolitical''. What happens in the game stays in the game. Shartak doesn't have to be a soap opera 24/7.

== June ==
* A grand combat is held on Unity Island.
== July ==

*The [[Pwotters]] destroy [[York]] and kill all of its inhabitants, including the shaman and the trader. The [[Order of Patriots]] turn to their former enemies for assistance against the Pwotter horde. Most of the Pwotters leave Shartak before any meaningful counterattack can be made.

== August ==
* 14th August 2008 - The ocean between the mainland and Rakmogak becomes passable again. Explorers arrive at [[Rakmogak]] and immediately come into conflict with the cannibals of the island.
* A new island is discovered off the coast of Derby by Raivo, and is called Arivo Island. A tunnel entrance leads into the extensive tunnel network extending under Shartak.
* Port Bristol, later re-named [[Bristol Yards]], is established.
* Dappled Shadow assumes the title of "Empress of the Three Lands", appoints Blahmicho as King of [[Greater Raktam]] in Sofaking's absence, and declares Black Fang, Grand Tyrant of the [[Kingdom of Skulls]], a pretender to the throne of Wiksik. While assembling an army to march to Port Breton to reclaim for Wiksik the buffer zone negotiated between the Kingdom of Skulls and the [[Eastern Federation]], Dappled Shadow suffers a head injury and disappears.

== November ==

*The [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]] is invaded and seized by the [[1st Colonial Militia]] and [[/zom/]]. New names are proposed for the location of at first Hades Hope and then Great Southall, with Solemn appointed governor. The Republic's ally, the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] is simultaneously besieged by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition|GSUC]]. Over the course of the month, /zom/ and the Durham-based Machitty clan come into conflict and the situation becomes an ongoing guerrilla war when members of the Republic return to the ruins.
*[[Templar Bank]] ceases trading.

== December ==

*The battle over the ruins known known as [[Fort Creedy]] or [[Great Southall]] continues. By the end of December the squabbling over who (if anyone) has actually won continues with no resolution in sight. The year ends as it began with guerilla warfare as Creedy and Zom forces clash with GSUC and the 1st Colonial Militia.

*[[Raktam]] was repeatedly raided by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]], with substantial casualties to both sides including many non-combatants. By early December the GSUC finally withdrew, proclaiming victory: the claim to victory was equally shared by the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] who said they successfully repelled the assault.

*[[The Battle of the Crazy Falls]] took place between various factions of natives and outsiders. Divine intervention in the form of bolts of lightning against various outsiders who attacked prior to the starting time of the battle resulted in a conclusive native victory, claimed jointly by the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] and the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]]. [[Eyes of a Hawk]] won 5,000 gold coins in prize money as a consequence of killing three opponents in the battle (a distinction equaled by Frodor), and was proclaimed champion of the battle. Erstwhile native empress [[Dappled Shadow]] died a permanent death during the battle, apparently assassinated on contract by [[Rex Feral]].

*[[Santa]] appeared at his grotto again, dispensing gold and items to those who have been both bad and good. Santa died seven times during the holiday period, somewhat less than the Yuletide gorefest of 2007. This is due to the fact that the [[the Rakmogaki Collective]] intervened in the Grotto, slaying anyone who threatened the Big Fat Red Saint. A large concentration of spirits also led to the slaughter.

*The [[Bone Gnawers]] Clan repeatedly raided [[Derby]], prompting intervention by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]].

*The First Annual [[Pirate High Command]] Christmas Party and Rumfest at [[the Hanged Misfit]] pub in Derby attracted strong crowds of holiday-makers. Violence was remarkably subdued.

*[[The Botheringham FC Supporters' Club]] Club House becomes the first fully-customized hut, internally and externally, based in York.

===The Queen is Dead! Long Live the King!===

As blood heir to the royal throne of Raktam, [[Blue Hummingbird]] established a throne room/the Summer Palace in close proximity to the trader's hut and to the herbal hut. In March '07 SofaKing succeeded Blue Himmingbird, upon her assassination.

All Raktamis are required to pay homage to their King, and be bound by his command.

If you wish to join the Court, you must visit the King and pay your respect to his Majesty, and be involved in Court protocol and intrigue, and tell tales of Shartak. Outsider nobles speaking the native tongue and willing to abide by the whims of His Majesty are welcome.

The forum page is here: http://raktamcourt.proboards61.com/index.cgi

===History of the Royal Court of Greater Raktam===

The history of the Royal Court is short but influential.

====Recognition of the Crown====
Azuma and Flange were the first to pay homage to the Queen, in July '07. Skepticism of the intentions of a sovereign ruler of Raktam was deep, particularly amongst Raktam elders in the medical hut. Jhelai, the leader of the [[Cheetahs]], was amongst the first to recognise the benefits of organised resistance against foreign raiders, following the demise of the Raktamites.

====Battle of Pirates' Graveyard====

In August '07 the Queen lead a core group of Raktami warriors and their allies to defeat the [[Brotherhood of the Coast]] in the [[Battle of the Pirate's Graveyard]]. The success of this battle and the subsequent end of the Brotherhood of the Coast's attacks on Ratkam assisted the Court gain credibility.

====Expansion of Greater Raktam====

In September '07 Greater Raktam expanded, so that three new provinces were created: the Province of Babuwabia (named after Raktam's greatest hunter) extending to the northern shore, the Province of Umslopagaasia (named after its second greatest hunter) extending to the southern shore and the eastern bank of the [[Margaret River]], and the Province of the Pirate's Graveyard, extending west to the mountain.

====Battle of Archer's Pool====

In October '07 the Queen headed a relief column to fight pirates at the [[Battle of Archer's Pool]] assisting the Dalpoki. This lead to the composition:

The Ballad of the Queen's Charge

Verse One

Good Queen Hummingbird was on her throne one day

When grim news arrived of the outcome of the fray

She took off her crown and she locked it away

And grabbed a machete to make the pirates pay

[Chorus]

Oh she travelled through the jungle to kick some pirate heads

Oh she travelled long, she travelled hard, and lots of blood she shed

The pirates had truly outlasted their stay

The Queen and her machete were going to make them pay

Verse 2

She found Joey Rocket and said, "Bad luck my friend!"

"You say you're no pirate so you'll have one chance on which your life depends

"Pirates have sea legs so walk straight or shed your blood!"

And before he could take a step she dropped him to the mud.

[Chorus]

Verse 3

She ran through the jungle and maimed Shinji at the pool

She skewered Arr and stabbed him, he ran like a fool

The pirates were many and she was but one

Cadmus said surrender, she said "We'd sooner die than run!"

[Chorus]

Verse 4

(slower pace)

And so now the Queen's ghost stands in fury by the lake

The pirates in living a mockery they make

The Queen's angry spectre says, "Go back into the sea!"

"Pirates surrender, for never will We!"


The lack of following amongst the people of Raktam to travel great distance to assist their Dalpoki brethren made the Queen realise that mercenaries were needed to provide Raktam with sufficient military force to meet Raktam's strategic objectives.

====Further expansion of Greater Raktam and Outsider Recognition====

In late October '07 Greater Raktam expanded again, with the planting of a sign 50 paces to the north-west of Raktam, reading, "Province of the [[Empty Quarter]], Sovereign Land of the Kingdom of Greater Raktam", and established the Winter Palace at [[Chikram]].

On 5 November '07 the [[Eastern Federation]] formally recognised the Crown of Raktam as a sovereign power. To date no other settement has recognised the Crown of Raktam.

====Visa Levy====

In November '07 the Queen introduced a visa levy on all outsiders travelling through Greater Raktam, and went on a Royal Tour to parley with the [[Necromancers' Guild]] in [[Wiksik]] and the Eastern Federation in [[Derby]]. The visa levy has proved to be very unpopular amongst outsiders, especially after its strict enforcement by Loughbridge the tax collector at Santa's Grotto in December '07.

====Establishment of Commonwealth and Free Trade Zone====

In December '07 Greater Raktam and the [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]] formed a commonwealth, and the Queen dispatched a large force of mercenaries and Raktami warriors to operate as a garrison at Creedy and protect it from Durham aggression. The Queen also established the [[Grand Vizier's Markets]], a free trade zone to the south of Raktam.

====The Burgundy War====

In January '08 rogue members of the [[Durham Pistoleers]] attacked the Raktam garrison at Fort Creedy, killing several members of the garrison plus President Eptavian of the Creedy Republic. This was apparently triggered by Durham politician Ron Burgundy's comments that citizens of Durham should be secretly encouraged to kill members of the garrison.

In retaliation, the Raktam garrison attacked the Pistoleers, killing several members, following orders from the Queen that the Pistoleers "be crushed". The 1st Colonial Militia, a paramilitary extremist group from York, travelled to Durham to assist the Pistoleers, and the Eastern Federation initiated Operation Moonwalk, a plan to kill Raktam garrison members who were attacking Durham Pistoleers not directly implicated in the initial attack.

Under intense pressure, and facing invasion from Raktam as well as de facto invasion from the 1st Colonial Militia, the Pistoleers initiated parlay with the Court.

The result of this was the appointment of former Pistoleer The Malice as ambassador to Durham, the cessation of hostilities between the two parties, and a joint operation between the commonwealth forces and the Pistoleers to repel the 1st Colonial Militia.

Under criticism from other outsiders for the alliance with the commonwealth, the Pistoleers disbanded, thus inadvertantly fulfilling the Queen's directive.

====The Wiksik Insurgency and the Raktam Insurgency====

Meanwhile in Wiksik, fighting between the Necromancers' Guild and other Wiksikians resulted in the dispatch of Raktam troops as peacekeepers and observers. Following negotiations between the parties and the queen's offer of Chikram as a home to the Guild, the conflict ended in late January.

In Raktam, however, insurgences repeatedly attacked the Court, hoping to bring down the monarchy. The insurgency quickly became a side issue as the queen rallied the Court to fight York intrusions upon the delta of the Margaret River in a quest for heavy swords.

===Death of Blue Hummingbird===

After disappearing for almost two months en route to the delta, in March '08 the Queen arrived back in Raktam. Fatally poisoned, the Queen formally declared SofaKing her heir, with Ezekiel Jones the executor of her will. The Queen was assasinated while in a weakened state by Booble, a Raktami insurgent.

Blue Hummingbird's last words were recorded:

"I die with a machete in my hand, striking a blow against a hyena. Otherwise, let Raktam and the Commonwealth expand like grassland. Let all people of goodwill join the Commonwealth. And let those who stand in our way perish. The King, the Grand Vizier and my cousin will show the way. I approach Valram, and assume my throne in the sunless lands as queen of the skygods. I will be watching. Goodbye."

The summer palace of Raktam was declared the Queen's tomb, where her body currently rests in a stone sarcophagus, daubed with the bloody handprints of her followers.

Of the Queen, scholars have described her thus:

A benign tyrant. Tyrannical in that she imposed taxes without consultation, executed opponents without trial, and formed treaties and declared wars with minimal involvement of her advisors. She also managed to accumulate vast sums of wealth, from fairly shady business deals.

On the other hand, she dispensed first aid and gold coins lavishly upon citizens of Ratkam, encouraged criticism from non-combatants like Nihlia and engaged with them, tried to establish a free trading zone for all non-combatant traders with her own money as incentive, and tried to broker a truce in Wiksik's civil war and with the Eastern Federation motivated in both cases simply by altruism. 

As a consequence of her death, the Queen's cousin Dappled Shadow established the [[Black Legion of the Commonwealth]], an expansionist military faction of the Royal Court which is also a religious death cult devoted to the dead queen.

In early April '08, a half-caste outsider in Derby laid claim to being the daughter of the deceased Queen. The truth of this claim has yet to be determined.

===Coronation of SofaKing===

In late March '08, SofaKing was coronated by [[Ezekiel Jones]] as King of Greater Raktam. [[Taiaka]] was appointed by the King the role of the King's Left Hand and Executioner. [[Achoo Pichu]] was appointed Steward of Raktam. Dappled Shadow was appointed Warlord of Raktam and Governor of the southern province of Babuwabia. [[Neil Tathers]] continued his role as Grand Vizier, with his first diplomatic mission a tour of Derby. [[Marvin]] established the [[1st Raktam Mercenary Corps]]. It is unknown if [[Jhelai]] of the [[Cheetahs]] continues his role as nominal governor of Umslopogaasia, the northern province.

===Non-Aggression Pact with Durham===

Ongoing skirmishes between the 1st Raktam Mercenary Corps, Creedists, and other allies of the Court with the 1st Colonial Militia in and around Creedy, combined with the onset of the annual Durham Headhunt by the [[Wicksick]] eventually lead Ron Burgundy, governor of Durham, in early April to agree to a non-aggression pact with the Commonwealth. the pact reads in the following terms:

Let it be known! As first act of SofaKing, King of Raktam under the Skygods, Protector of the Mountain, High Priest of the Bear Warrior Lodge, Barbarian-scattering Warlord and Vindicator of All Raktami, Large and Small, he wishes with the support of President Eptavian and thus the full force of the Commonwealth to propose a non-aggression pact between the Greater Commonwealth of Raktam and Creedy and the town of Durham. In light of the troubles and misunderstandings between our peoples, it is desired that a formal agreement be made to make clear the intentions of the Commonwealth and Durham. Signed by the sovereigns and governors of their lands, the pact will ensure that no group will take up arms against the other without proper notice and a formal Declaration of War. No allowance will be made by the collective groups to provide aid either material or spiritual to proxies acting to destabilize the respective governments. Let it be known!

===Membership of the Court===

The Court is one of the largest clans on Shartak, and is open to all natives and the allies of Greater Raktam.

* Civil war ignites in Wiksik between the newly established [[Necromancer's Guild]] and its opponents.

== February ==

* A regency is appointed over the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]].

== March ==
* The first Amazingly Great Shartak Race is organised by Johan Crichton and features contestants including Lama, Oktavius, SofaKing, Maximillion Pike and Jesus.

== April ==
* The Spring X-Game I - Durham competition begins in and around Durham.
* Oktavius wins the first Amazingly Great Shartak Race.
* War between the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] and the [[Eastern Federation]] over [[Midway Island]] is averted and the French population is transplated to [[Port Breton]]. [[Port Breton]] subsequently joins the Commonwealth with the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] and the [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]].
* The Commonwealth of the Royal Court of Greater Raktam, the Independent Republic of Fort Creedy and [[Port Breton]] enter into a non-aggression pact with Durham.

== May ==

* The [[1st Colonial Militia]] war with the [[Eastern Federation]].

== June ==
* A grand combat is held on Unity Island.
== July ==

*The [[Pwotters]] destroy [[York]] and kill all of its inhabitants, including the shaman and the trader. The [[Order of Patriots]] turn to their former enemies for assistance against the Pwotter horde. Most of the Pwotters leave Shartak before any meaningful counterattack can be made.

== August ==
* 14th August 2008 - The ocean between the mainland and Rakmogak becomes passable again. Explorers arrive at Rakmogak and immediately come into conflict with the cannibals of the island.
* A new island is discovered off the coast of Derby by Raivo, and is called Arivo Island. A tunnel entrance leads into the extensive tunnel network extending under Shartak.
* Port Bristol, later re-named [[Bristol Yards]], is established.
* Dappled Shadow assumes the title of "Empress of the Three Lands", appoints Blahminco as King of Greater Raktam in Sofaking's absence, and declares Black Fang, Grand Tyrant of the [[Kingdom of Skulls]], a pretender to the throne of Wiksik. While assembling an army to march to Port Breton to reclaim for Wiksik the buffer zone negotiated between the Kingdom of Skulls and the Eastern Federation, Dappled Shadow suffers a head injury and disappears. Relationships between the French at Port Breton, the Creedy Republic, and the Royal Court of Greater Raktam deteriorate following claims that Dappled Shadow has declared war upon Derby.

== September ==

* The [[Mercenary's Guild]] is reformed.
* The Raktam court room sees a succession of people sitting on the Royal Throne, including Head-Onna-Stick, the first puppet leader of Raktam, following the vanishing of Blahmicho.
* Sofaking returns to Raktam and reclaims his throne.
* After a peaceful and productive reign power is passed from Ron Burgundy to the newly elected DarkFerret.

== October ==
* The Grand Tyrant, [[User:Skull Face|Black Fang]] of the Kingdom of Skulls dies, and is succeeded by [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=10965 Anthor], who proclaims himself the Avatar of the Kingdom of Skulls.
* The [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]] forms in [[Durham]] and [[York]] and sets out to invade the native settlements, beginning with [[Wiksik]].
* [[Fungi]] are discovered in the tunnels beneath the island.
* The [[Pirate High Command]] is established.
* [[Rakmogak]] cannibals raid [[Derby]].

== November ==

*The [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]] is invaded and seized by the [[1st Colonial Militia]] and [[/zom/]]. New names are proposed for the location of at first Hades Hope and then Great Southall, with Solemn appointed governor. The Republic's ally, the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] is simultaneously besieged by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition|GSUC]]. Over the course of the month, /zom/ and the Durham-based Machitty clan come into conflict and the situation becomes an ongoing guerrilla war when members of the Republic return to the ruins.
*[[Templar Bank]] ceases trading.

== December ==

*The battle over the ruins known known as [[Fort Creedy]] or [[Great Southall]] continues. By the end of December the squabbling over who (if anyone) has actually won continues with no resolution in sight. The year ends as it began with guerilla warfare as Creedy and Zom forces clash with GSUC and the 1st Colonial Militia.

*[[Raktam]] was repeatedly raided by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]], with substantial casualties to both sides including many non-combatants. By early December the GSUC finally withdrew, proclaiming victory: the claim to victory was equally shared by the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] who said they successfully repelled the assault.

*[[The Battle of the Crazy Falls]] took place between various factions of natives and outsiders. Divine intervention in the form of bolts of lightning against various outsiders who attacked prior to the starting time of the battle resulted in a conclusive native victory, claimed jointly by the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] and the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]]. [[Eyes of a Hawk]] won 5000 gold coins in prize money as a consequence of killing three opponents in the battle (a distinction equalled by Frodor), and was proclaimed champion of the battle. Erstwhile native empress [[Dappled Shadow]] died a permanent death during the battle, apparently assassinated on contract by [[Rex Feral]].

*[[Santa]] appeared at his grotto again, dispensing gold and items to those who have been both bad and good. Santa died seven times during the holiday period, somewhat less than the yuletide gorefest of 2007. This is due to the fact that the [[the Rakmogaki Collective]] intervened in the Grotto, slaying any people who threatened the Big Fat Red Saint. Also a large concentration of spirits led to the slaughter.

*The [[Bone Gnawers]] Clan repeatedly raided [[Derby]], prompting intervention by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]].

*The First Annual [[Pirate High Command]] Christmas Party and Rumfest at [[the Hanged Misfit]] pub in Derby attracted strong crowds of holiday-makers. Violence was remarkably subdued.

*[[The Botheringham FC Supporters' Club]] Club House becomes the first fully-customized hut, internally and externally, based in York.

We will tear through all these little harmonious native villages like a tropical cyclone. Women, children, worthless roleplaying beardos: we will sweep every single native up in a blitzkrieg of bloodthirsty genocide. We will rampage across the pristine countryside; an organised army of pure malevolent destruction, slashing and burning an entire ecosystem. Rolling over villages like anthills; raping and murdering and annihilating like the forces of darkness itself.

You will remember us in your nightmares and your whispered stories. Tales of an unstoppable juggernaut just beyond the horizon that you can all but flee, until at last we are upon you. And the horrors we unleash will make your final fleeting moments seem like a lifetime of terror.

We will burn our atrocities into your minds. Yes, you will protest and cry foul and run to those who hold sway in this land and plead with them to stop us. You will howl and moan in your safe places and on your forums, you will smash your keyboards in disgust. But all your well-learned politics will come to naught when we lay your souls to waste.

Our goal is nothing less than to eradicate an entire (imaginary) race of people and burn their bones into dust. Our ferocity will leave our friends aghast and our enemies traumatised, left with only nightmares and thousand-yard stares. Those who have opened this world to us will soon know what evil man is truly capable of, and you will pray for your own redemption for the small part you played in the horror this is to come.

Also, Botheringham's in with a real chance this season, since they've moved Calvinho to the diagonal-half position. They're already 2-0 up on the ladder!

==Current Activities==
[[Image:Riots.jpg|frame|left|Botheringham vs. Lowersex Post-match celebration.]]
After the much-publicised public relations disaster that was the Botheringham Stadium Beautification Project, tensions were high and the atmosphere electric during the Bov's first home match against Lowersex at the half-completed Botheringham Stadium. Despite a strong turnout of boisterously pro-Lowersex supporters from York, the game quickly soured for the injury-depleted Lowersex Peggers. Following the 7-0 drubbing of Lowersex by the jetlagged but sprightly Botheringham, violence immediately spilled out onto the streets of northern York.

While being evacuated from the overrun stadium by helicopter, Botheringham star striker Leonhard Milquetoast desperately called for calm amid the broiling sea of destruction below. He is quoted as saying the following:

"Now lads, it's only a game, yeah? Still early in the season like. We all just came to 'ave a bit o' fun. A few folk might 'ave got hurt a little, but it's all part o' the game. Just 'avin a laugh, yeah? No need to take it all so seriou..."

Unfortunately, one particularly loyal Lowersex supporter had procured for himself an RPG during the post-match chaos and managed, by all accounts, to shoot Milquetoast's helicopter out of the sky. All on board perished; while the Lowersex supporter was subsequently eviscerated by the unruly mob.

After much additional bloodshed and mayhem, calm was eventually restored when most Botheringham supporters went home, since they had work in the morning. Unfortunately, when normalcy resumed the follwing day, several members of the Botheringhamshire council discovered, much to their collective horror, that in their fervour the previous night they had passed a unanimous motion to declare war on the city of [[York]], Shartak Island.

Council by-laws being what they are, the Botheringham FC Supporter's Club have no choice but to follow through on this declaration at their soonest convenience. Botheringhamshire president Kilpatrick McOyster had this to say:

“Oohhh, fookin ‘eck. Yeh boys might a roit sozzie intie, eh? Gecha vees ootand arse an cannie back till yeh deed or pussin whiskey. Fookin gobshite.”

On that note, anyone who doesn’t feel like getting killed in the immediate future would be wise to leave York now. If you feel like joining in on our crusade (the more the merrier!), drop us a line at the forum link over yonder. Everyone else: good luck! We’ll see you soon.

VIVA BOTHERINGHAM!

 
'''UPDATE 05:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC):''' We're very pleased to announce that the final solution to the York problem has been enacted with complete success! Congratulations to all those Botheringham supporters who turned out and made a spiffing time of it. A celebratory afternoon tea will be held in central York later today, once we've cleared away most of the corpses. Calvinho and Macclesfield will be flying in especially to toast the occasion. Let's hear it for the Bovs!

[[Image:Botheringhamstadium.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Botheringham Stadium Map - Click to embiggen]]We're mostly just hanging about the Botheringham FC Supporter's Club in Northern [[York]] for the time being. Playing darts and lighting farts, that sort of thing. Although we have noticed that the football pitch at [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/mapposgen.php?cx=-70385&cy=26349 Botheringham Stadium] is in a sorry state of disrepair.

Anyone with a [[Machete]] can help us out by cutting roads to the stadium or clearing out the parking lot as shown in the map to the left. If you have a few spare planks of [[driftwood]], you can also help out by marking out the stands and the pitch boundry. Remember, this is for our boys so they can have a respectible home ground. In the words of the immortal Mitch Freisenburg: "Sometimes, you just want to play football on, like, proper grass like."

Amen. VIVA BOTHERINGHAM!

Next match: Botheringham vs. Her Majesty's Royal Gunners.

C'MON THE BOV'S!

[Statistics: '''TBA''']

[Previous Match Statistics: Last time the Bov's met the Royal Gunners was in the ultimte game of last season. Botheringham's then-manager Ernesto Pancetta was sent off for "repeatedly stamping on the opposition fly-back's crotch, for a period of almost 25 minutes". This came after Pancetta had made the controversial (and, it was later discovered after reading the rulebook, totally bloody illegal) decision to substitute Botheringham's entire defensive line for himself. When asked by his assistant manager to justify the decision at the time, it is alleged that Pancetta replied "those goons don't even know what football is. I'll show them. I'll show them football. I'll stamp on a crotch or two, oh yes."

Initially the tactic seemed to pay off. Her Majesty's attacking players were too noble to force themselves on this elderly gentleman who had positioned himself between them and the goal they so lusted for. After the crotch incident and the subsequent mega-red-card, however, the goals began pouring in. Final scoreline: HMRG 21, Botheringham 7. Botheringham and Pancetta could at least take some solace in the fact that the fly-back's junk was ruined for life.]

'''Sacred Space''' is a unique non-PvP zone located within the summit of Mt. Shartak. Following months of escalating violence on the island throughout late 2008 to January 2009, the spirits of the ancestors revealed the location of their sacrosanct grove for all of the island's inhabitants who sought refuge from the mainland carnage.

As the refuge itself is protected by the spirits of the ancestors, hostile players will find themselves unable to score hits on other players, resulting in the following message being displayed:
:''The spirits of the ancestors cause your attack to miss. A chilling voice whispers, “This is sacred ground. You shall not harm others here.”''

===News===
From the [http://www.shartak.com/news.html official Shartak newsletter] on January 27, 2009:

:''27 January, 2009 - The spirits of the ancestors reveal their temple''

:''• The spirits of the ancestors have seen how badly violence is affecting the island. Their descendants fight themselves, as well as the outsider menace, causing island-wide chaos. They have decided to reveal the way to their ancient temple location and offer a safe haven for those who wish to flee the conflict.''
:''• The sacred space will not allow violent souls to enter or leave without paying a price and the ancestors will protect all those who reside there.''

[[Image:Picture4tl2.png|thumb|Inside the Temple of the Ancestors]]

==Temple of the Ancestors==
The sacred temple reachable only by climbing the temple walkways in Sacred Space. Consists of a stream of fresh water, songbirds, four staircases, several unique huts and buildings, and a roaming [[trader]] by the name of Tamdal.

== Gateways ==
Gateways are arches located in each of the eight camps that transport a player into the gateway juncture inside the Sacred Space. When entering a gateway, [[AP]] penalties are incurred on the player depending how unpeaceful they are i.e. a peaceful player is not penalized at all for entering a gateway. When leaving a gateway from Sacred Space, if you have recently committed an act of violence (not including to animals), the following message is displayed:
:''You close your eyes and step through the archway, your thoughts focusing on where you came from. The spirits of the ancestors are angered by your recent violence and as you are returned to your point of origin, a bolt of lightning appears from nowhere and strikes you. You die.''

Gateways with their respective camps and locations are listed as following:

Cheesesteak: /* Some wiki category tips */

==Some wiki category tips==

Just wanted to give a tip out for your wikipage.
Cannibals browsing the wiki will have a much easier time finding your clanpage if you add
<nowiki>[[Category:Officially recognized clans]]</nowiki> and <nowiki> [[Category:Clans for cannibals]]</nowiki> into the code somewhere. Cheers from the [[Bone Gnawers]]! --[[User:Deks|Deks]] 08:45, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks for the pr0 tip, Deks! Should now be easier to find the Collective in officially recognized clans now ;) --[[User:Cheesesteak|Cheesesteak]] 05:26, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

==Das Kollektiv?==
Hello there, I just witnessed some of you guys in action and stumbled upon your group. I don't know why you use german fragments on your wiki page, but I have to tell you that "Ein für alle und alle für Braten" doesn't exactly translate to "One for all and all for roast". First of all, to be grammatically correct it must be "Einer für alle...". Concerning the "für Braten", I guess it's meant to mean something like "everyone is for lunch" or something along these lines, but the german version would be understood as "everyone's in favour of a roast". Or maybe that's exactly what you wanted to say?
One last thing, "DIE POLITIK" can indeed be translated as policy, but "Politik" usually describes a political system or the government (i.e. the people who always talk but never act). I guess you wanted to express something like guideline/principle/directive/rule; in this case you would rather use the german word "Unsere Grundsätze" or "Unsere Überzeugung".
I'm sorry for the nitpicking, I only meant to give some well-meant advice.
 By the way, have you ever tried to season your meat with tasty fruit juice? I've got a wide variety to offer. Bon appétit, [[User:Admiral Thrawn|Admiral Thrawn]][[User talk:Admiral Thrawn|Talk!]] 10:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Greater Shartak Unification Coalition

== Introduction ==

Too long has turmoil beset the outsider lands in light of rising native powers. By the grace of God, the patriot Bahl spoke up against the violent policies of the native kingdoms; the Frenchman, De La Coiffe (DLC) joined Bahl's crusade against the Kingdom of Skulls and their outsider harlots, soon followed by the York hero "Serious" Samuel Hunter and the 1st Colonial Militia, and since then our organisation has grown larger and become more dominant in the island's affairs. We seek to unify the island by truncating native influence on outsider lands and culture.

== Objectives==

*The purging of the impure natives and their sympathisers alike
*Organising with other pro-outsider groups to raid native villages
*Creating a safe work environment for the common outsider
*Crippling native influences on outsider lands
*Metagaming as patriots to the outsider cause
*Player killing and having fun at it

== Clan History ==

=== October 2008 ===
GSUC, the brainchild of Bahl and DLC, becomes organised and proceeds to raid the capital of the Kingdom of Skulls, Wiksik. The movement gains massive popularity and criticism alike. Wiksik is charred to the ground.

=== November 2008 ===
GSUC acquires the ruins of the former Independent Republic of Fort Creedy with the help of Solemn and /zom/ and renames it Great Southall. Solemn subsequently betrays GSUC and sides with the Kingdom of Skulls, plunging the peninsula into civil war.
In the mean time, GSUC raids Raktam, effective wiping out its population within weeks.

=== December 2008 ===
Civil war rages on in Great Southall and Durham while GSUC plans its next campaign...

== Clan News Archive ==

=== 10/12/08 ===
Preparation for the Battle of the Waterfall
The Coalition successfully ambushed the Wiksik Throne Room and purged their medicine hut (see forum.shartak.com) and then slew their shaman. Once again we show our might by leaving not one soul alive in our wake. The Necromancer's Guild along with KOS botched a spirit raid on York, although now we must be careful for any evil spirits in York. For any GSUC participating in the real-time battle, get to the Waterfall on the 12th of December or earlier.

Scout the outskirts of York for any hostile spirits/natives/York griefers.

=== 5/12/08 ===
Raktam has been sacked, and now the Coalition sets its sights on the recalcitrant Anthor and his Skull Kingdom...

NOTE TO ALL EXISTING AND NONEXISTING FORUM MEMBERS: GSUC has a new forum! Please register on this one, as we have moved from proboards to invisionfree and integrated with the Wolf Pack forum.

tinyurl.com/GYFederation

Cheers!

=== 25/11/08 ===
Raktam is smouldering to the ground... the cries of the native child brooding over the corpse of his dead mother are not answered... Raktam has been sacked by GSUC! Individuals such as Nihlia are complaining about dying repeatedly in a dangerous zone :P. We will pull out on December 5th and call it an undisputed victory at this rate. Then we will prepare for the real-time battle at the Waterfall. Oh, and happy holidays to all clan members!

=== 13/11/08 ===
Decent amount of Raktam kills so far. Don't stop now, as we've put them on our playing field by killing their shaman everyday. GSUC will keep distracting Raktam and KOS from the Great Southall conflict. As for the Great Southall situation, kill any assassins or troublemakers that are all of a sudden attracted to the ruins that were stagnant for months now. We will be holding discussions with Solemn and his treasonous /zom/ clan.

=== 03/11/08 ===
We are actually attacking Raktam this time. Come 3-4 days to travel past Wiksik and strike Raktam's throne room.

=== 20/10/08 ===
We are gathering for a raid in Raktam. See forum for more details. It is highly recommended that you register on the proboards forum, so that we will be able to coordinate better. I will bargain with Simon about creating a subboard on the Shartak forum once we gather up enough members. Spies will be tarred and feathered.

Also, thanks to Billfred for the awesome clan logo!

== Membership ==

*Anyone can join, as long as they support the outsider cause i.e. not pander to the natives organisations. If you are a native, you are expected to obey the orders of your outsider superiors without question.
*Do not zerg. A loose definition of the word can be found [http://www.shartak.com/faq.html here]. Simply put, zerging is using two or more characters to gain an unfair advantage over other players, whether double-teaming a target with alts, revenge-killing for an alt, and so on.

A list of all members can be found [http://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=383 here]

== Communication ==

Several of us are occasionally on Shartak IRC. Server: irc.efnet.org, channel: #Shartak. We also have a subforum on the Shartak forums, but you need to be added by Simon to see the board. No pro-native players allowed.

Skills

2009-02-05T05:19:01Z

Cheesesteak: /* Generic skills */

== Overview ==

'''Skills''' give players special or improved abilities. Some require that you learn other skills first, and a few are available only to a certain [[Character classes|character class]] or side. Skills are bought with [[XP]].

Certain skills, like ''haunting scream'' and ''basic tracking'', unlock actions which consume [[AP]]. Other skills, like ''trekking'' and ''close quarter combat'', are passive and do not need to be activated after being purchased for the player to benefit from them. While most skills in a tree have effects that stack on one another, ''haunting scream'' and ''shocking shriek'' remain individual skills (but ''banshee wail'' will replace ''shocking shriek'').

Learning an initial skill costs 100 XP. After that, each learned skill costs 25 XP more than the previous one, until you reach level 30. Hence the formula for a skill's XP cost is ''100 + 25 * (your level)''. (Your character's level, which you can see in your profile, is the number of skills you have learned.) To go from level 30 to 31 costs 1000 XP, and each level above that requires an additional 200 XP. So the above formula is modified to read ''1000 + 200 * ((your level) - 30)''.

A pirate needs 15550 XP to buy the 32 available skills. Explorers and Scouts need 17300 XP for their 33 skills. Soldiers, scientists, warriors and shamans will have spent 19075 XP after buying all 34 skills available to them. Settlers and villagers spend 22875 XP to buy their 36 available skills.

It is believed that a spirit receives 0-2 [[XP]] per scream depending upon the number of listeners (perhaps 0, 1, 2+ yields 0, 1, 2 XP).

Cheesesteak: /* Pirate skills */

== Overview ==

'''Skills''' give players special or improved abilities. Some require that you learn other skills first, and a few are available only to a certain [[Character classes|character class]] or side. Skills are bought with [[XP]].

Certain skills, like ''haunting scream'' and ''basic tracking'', unlock actions which consume [[AP]]. Other skills, like ''trekking'' and ''close quarter combat'', are passive and do not need to be activated after being purchased for the player to benefit from them. While most skills in a tree have effects that stack on one another, ''haunting scream'' and ''shocking shriek'' remain individual skills (but ''banshee wail'' will replace ''shocking shriek'').

Learning an initial skill costs 100 XP. After that, each learned skill costs 25 XP more than the previous one, until you reach level 30. Hence the formula for a skill's XP cost is ''100 + 25 * (your level)''. (Your character's level, which you can see in your profile, is the number of skills you have learned.) To go from level 30 to 31 costs 1000 XP, and each level above that requires an additional 200 XP. So the above formula is modified to read ''1000 + 200 * ((your level) - 30)''.

A pirate needs 15550 XP to buy the 32 available skills. Explorers and Scouts need 17300 XP for their 33 skills. Soldiers, scientists, warriors and shamans will have spent 19075 XP after buying all 34 skills available to them. Settlers and villagers spend 22875 XP to buy their 36 available skills.

The Quest for the Obsidian Spear

2009-02-04T23:31:46Z

Cheesesteak: /* The Spear, Found */ added a pic!

==Background==

''The fetid swamps behind him, Grunk the Pale stood on a beach, facing the ocean. The salt air felt cleansing on his skin. The tiger from before was still nearby, stalking him, or merely waiting to share in the cannibals next kill, Grunk did not know or care. He was remembering a story from the past, one told to him by his Elders.''

'''Years Ago'''

''The fire crackled in the background, giving heat to the otherwise cold dark cave. A group of young cannibals sat around the firelight, watching an Elder with rapt attention. He was telling them a story, a story of their past.''

''“This story is a story about our Gods, the Dark Ones the natives call them, but we call them the Earth Gods. They blessed us with our way of life, our way of thinking, and our own skills.” The Elder held up a spear for the children to look at.''

''The first thing young Grunk noticed was the spear was black, completely black. The black seem to absorb the light of the fire.''

''“This spear we were recently able to fashion from the rock found underground, which our Gods led to us. The rock is what we have called Obsidian, and we fashioned this spear out of it. It is harder than any of our current weapons, and much harder than the machetes that those island natives use…”''

'''Currently'''

''The tiger growling woke Grunk from his reverie. Grunk turned to look at the reason why the tiger was growling. A fellow Cannibal, the massive Khali emerged of the forest growth.''

''“Grunk.”''

''“Khali.”''

''The two cannibals took that as a greeting. Khali approached, dragging a fresh kill behind him.''

''“Mine.” Said Khali.''

''“Yes, I know.”''

''“Good.” Khali sat down on a nearby rock and began to eat. Grunk let him have his feast before asking Khali a question. The sun began to set in the background.''

''“What happened to the Obsidian Spear.” Asked Grunk.''

''“What are you talking about?” replied Khali, throwing the offal to the tiger, “And why does this tiger follow you?”''

''“The tiger follows cause it seems to get free food from me. I think he’s secretly waiting for me to put my guard down. And the Obsidian Spear, what do you know of it?”''

''“I know the weak willed natives call it the Spear of the Accursed Ancients.”''

''Grunk looked surprised, “I was in Dalpok for a while, and I heard some of them talking about it. They said a pirate was talking about a black spear, that never broke, and that they are hoarding it in the shipwreck of theirs as treasure”''

''Grunk lifted a finger, farther down the beach the looming wooden structure known as the shipwreck stood out against the setting sun.''

''“They hoard our heritage, no one should do that. Khali, I say we dine on pirates till they give it back to us.”''

''“I’m always hungry.” Responded Khali smiling.''

''“Good.” Muttered Grunk, and the two cannibals blended into the forest as the sun set on the island of Shartak.''

==The Contest==
The Quest for the Obsidian Spear is a cannibal contest. The winner of said contest gains the spear itself (a prize that Simon will bestow your character) and 50 gold coin credit to Shivering Timbers.

Initial Scoring Points
All kills need to be logged in Underworld (post a link when you make the kill, kill counts only from level three and above)

* Any kill (exc. cannibals and peacefuls) +1
* Slaughterer (+100 Native Kills) = +5
* Butcher (50-99 Native Kills) = +3
* Killer (20-49 Native Kills) = +2
* Aspiring killer (1-19 Native Kills) = +1
* Pirate +3
* Peaceful (0 Kills) = -5 (All bonus points null on these targets)
* Cannibal = -5 (All bonus points are null on these targets)

Bonus Points
Screen Shots needed for Bonus points to be effective. All Screen Shots should be posted in this thread or sent to me via PM if you want to be Anonymous.
* First Feast on victim = +3
* Additional Feast on victim = +1
* Taunting (said after killing character, teabagging doesn't count) = +1
* Healing a Fellow Cannibal that is participating in the contest (For Every Healing Herb used) = +1

The contest begins on January 11th (midnight server time). Before that time you should stock up on herbs and clubs and get yourselves to the wreck, though you can kill a pirate anywhere, the wreck does have the greatest concentration of them. All contestants should either post their cannibal profile here, or send me the profile over PM if they want to be anonymous. The contest ends when someone reaches a total of 300 points or has the most points at the end of February 11th (midnight server time).

==Special Rules Changes==

Due to an influx of smaller level pirates when the cannibals initially invaded, the rules changed to affect all levels, not just above level three.

Also, the older more cunning pirates returned to try to protect their shipwreck. Due to them returning, the rules changed to make them worth double points.

==The Contestants==
Participants comprised mainly of Rakmogak's finest champions, including the monstrous Khali, the cunning Grunk, the gastronomically-selective Mingeater, Narktan, your teeth, members of the Bone Gnawers clan, and the ever resourceful underdog, Nihilo.

==Stats==

The contestants ate over 123 pirates during the three week long raid, this does not include the other cannibals who were around the shipwreck during the time of the raid itself.

==The Spear, Found==
[[Image:Obsidian spear.jpg|thumb|The fabled spear]]

''Grunk was in a pitched fight. The cannibals gained a foothold on the ship, overtaking the galley and hold, now searching a cabin for any traces of the spear. Pirates were thick here, the older more cunning ones arriving at the last moment, refusing to let the cannibals gain their heritage back.''

''"Well then you stinking native, you smell almost as bad as Bellamy over there!" said the pirate, who was cornering Grunk into the cabin wall. Grunk's back hit the rotten wood. Khali, who was dueling with Bellamy, and another pirate, roared, trying to dispose of his adversaries, but failing.''

''"OH! Got past your guard there, didn't I?" said the pirate dueling Grunk, knocking the wooden club to the side, and scoring a hit with his cutlass through Grunk's shoulder. Grunk growled.''

''"You will pay for that pirate."''

''"Oh really," said the pirate assuming a quizzical face, "I don't think so, cause see I'm holding this cutlass, and it's about to go through your...."''

''The pirate stopped in mid-sentence. The reason was a spear, black as night, was shoved through his skull, parting it like a knife through a banana. Grunk smiled. "Khali, we found the treasure."''

''Khali laughed, throwing a dead pirate over his shoulder, "And look at the young one who found it."''

''The cannibal who was holding the spear was small for a cannibal, in fact, Grunk wasn't sure the man was a cannibal at all. He feasted on flesh more often than other cannibals, though he still hasn't reached Khali levels yet, he would get there soon enough. Flesh would seem to decay on his bones, and if the young one didn't eat, he looked even worse. With the spear in his hands, his eyes glowed with their own inner blackness.''

''"Grunk, I have found the treasure."''

''"Excellent work Nihilo, you know what to do with it."''

''Below them, a pirate screamed in pain. Nihilo neatly skewered the pirate with spear, "Yes I do."''

''Grunk roared in approval, and the three cannibals feasted on pirate flesh. As they left, a darkness descended on Shartak.''

''The cannibals are a force to be feared.''
