| |
| − | | |
| − | A path is seen,
| |
| − | It goes north west,
| |
| − | Around the lake,
| |
| − | Across the steppe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Upon the wind,
| |
| − | I hear a cry,
| |
| − | Raktam Raktam,
| |
| − | I wonder why.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go to the SofaKing,
| |
| − | Ask him where,
| |
| − | The path begins,
| |
| − | But do not stare.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What is next?
| |
| − | Take the road west,
| |
| − | But at the second sign,
| |
| − | Stop and rest.
| |
| − | | |
| − | North west from there,
| |
| − | Dry your tears,
| |
| − | Look for a trees,
| |
| − | And then you'll see.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a hole,
| |
| − | Into the ground,
| |
| − | If you're not clear
| |
| − | You'll circle round.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Down the rabbit,
| |
| − | Hole we go,
| |
| − | SE for a,
| |
| − | Mile or so.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You come to a sign that says:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Running rivers less loving lily rugged requited love streams
| |
| − | | |
| − | Read the sign,
| |
| − | It doesn't make sense,
| |
| − | Follow directions,
| |
| − | Don't be dense!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fill your gourds,
| |
| − | Choose your path,
| |
| − | Pass the Shargles,
| |
| − | Suffer wrath!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another way,
| |
| − | The way to go,
| |
| − | One more South,
| |
| − | The Tunnel Goes!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Read the sign,
| |
| − | It doesn't make sense,
| |
| − | Follow directions,
| |
| − | Don't be dense!
| |
| − | | |
| − | South from the water,
| |
| − | Two steps, no more,
| |
| − | Enter the tunnel,
| |
| − | Almost a door!
| |
| − | | |
| − | South you will go,
| |
| − | Then to a split,
| |
| − | Take the east path,
| |
| − | You'll be there in a bit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keep going east,
| |
| − | Past a southerly way
| |
| − | When you get to the wall,
| |
| − | Turn right, I say!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Seemingly the tunnel,
| |
| − | Comes to an end,
| |
| − | But up we go,
| |
| − | We don't descend.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A dark cave exists,
| |
| − | but you have to leave,
| |
| − | west, don't get eaten
| |
| − | by a greeb!
| |
| − | | |
| − | North West, the path went,
| |
| − | up high on the mountain,
| |
| − | but nowhere near the
| |
| − | water fountain.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ground is swept,
| |
| − | no longer lush,
| |
| − | dig deep before,
| |
| − | there's much more brush.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The First of the Ancients,
| |
| − | Is pleased that you found,
| |
| − | His Skull, that was buried,
| |
| − | On Mt Shartak, underground.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Ancient Air Spirit says:
| |
| − | Hastur, you are blessed,
| |
| − | Your hunting skills,
| |
| − | Will be remembered as always the best!
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are three more skulls,
| |
| − | That need to be found,
| |
| − | And guess what? They're all buried,
| |
| − | Somewhere underground!
| |
| − | | |
| − | So move on and follow,
| |
| − | The clues that will come,
| |
| − | The Darkness it grows,
| |
| − | Without skulls we are done!

| − | '''10/10/2008 - THE AGE OF DARKNESS'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Black Fang, the Grand Tyrant and Spiritual Leader of the Kingdom of Skulls died this week, in suspicious circumstances. A struggle for power ensued and a young Shaman named Anthor seized power in what will now become known as the beginning of the Age of Darkness.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''The Lost Skulls of the Ancients'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | A Darkness has come down across Wiksik. With the passing of the Grand Tyrant, there has been much mourning and grief. Although he was a Tyrant, he was our Tyrant!
| |
| − | | |
| − | It has been said that when the Grand Tyrant passes, the Ancient Ones will grow restless and make demands. The Ancient Ones demand the return of their lost skulls... four to be precise. All KOS members, and allies are welcome to join in the hunt for the Lost Skulls of the Ancients. The hunt will begin outside the Throne Room in Wiksik, at midnight (game time) on Sunday night.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the Ancient Ones had turned angry over the loss of their skulls, the Throne Room had to be sealed by the Great Magician Etherdrifter, to protect Wiksik. If anyone's left inside the Throne Room, Etherdrifter will be attempting to transport you out, but no one can enter until the four skulls are recovered.
| |
| − | | |
| − | May the Ancient Ones protect us in our quest to return the skulls. We must succeed, or suffer eternal darkness.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Ancient Ones speak...
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Ancient Ones,
| |
| − | I hear them cry,
| |
| − | Our skulls, we need,
| |
| − | A Lullaby.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go and find them,
| |
| − | Don't be last,
| |
| − | Or heads will roll,
| |
| − | And Death comes fast.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''28/05/2008 - THE SKULL THRONE IS NOW OCCUPIED'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Grand Tyrant has returned to Wiksik after a successful raid on the shipwreck. Additional particpants included the Royal Court of Raktam and the Republic of Fort Creedy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | More new members have joined the Kingdom this week. Greet them kindly should you see them on your travels. Be advised that a violent Wiksik called Nekrotzar has been killing members of the KOS who are from outside Wiksik. We are attempting a peaceful resolution of this matter before turning to red slaughter. More news will be forthcoming soon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ManBearPig has encountered members of the 1st Colonial Militia near Wiksik. They are a diseased group of outsiders who enjoy killing natives. The Skull Throne will pay 5 GC bounty for every head taken from member of the 1CM. Underworld logs (see character Settings button on main Shartak screen) will be accepted as evidence. Boasting at the Skull Throne is also encouraged :)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The pirate Eptavian (http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=1924) has come to the Skull Throne as an ambassador from Fort Creedy on the Durham Peninsula. Please do not raise your hand against him as he is a known friend to natives..

| − | |'''21/05/2008 - INITIAL NEWS''' | + | |'''22/12/2009 - THE WORDS OF THE SHAMAN''' |
| − | | |
| − | Welcome to the Kingdom Of Skulls. Thanks to everyone for joining the clan, we've got a good cross-section of players to help mix things up a little. I expect we'll have more members soon when the next round of invites goes out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Skull Throne is in Wiksik in the hut directly E of the ammo hut. It's currently unoccupied but I'll be back to Wiksik in a few days once the raid on the shipwreck is finished.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I've posted a map of the Kingdom on the official Shartak forum in the Natives section. If you haven't already done so, check it out and have a chuckle at the reaction to the territorial claims.
| |
| | | | |
| − | I've also set up a placeholder page on the Shartak wiki. ManBearPig (AKA Wulla Mullung) has offered to help with page design. If you have any suggestions, use the Wiki talk page for now.
| + | The elder shamen of Shartak have returned from a secret council with their cousin [[Hodrali]]. The council has issued the following proclamation: |
| | | | |
| − | Regards communications, I'm leaning towards the clan news and using open threads on the Shartak forum rather than closed clan boards elsewhere. Pros: one stop shop for Shartak news, friendly to newer players. Cons: might cause IP hit issues for those who run alts.
| + | ''Let it be known that the Ancestors have smiled upon the people of Skull Island and have decreed that the Great Exile has ended. From this day forth the people of [[Wiksik]], [[Raktam]] and [[Dalpok]] shall no longer shun their cousins in [[Rakmogak]]. Those natives of Shartak who embrace their kin as allies in the struggle against the wicked outsiders will be looked upon favourably by the Ancestors.'' |
| | | | |
| − | Once we get the Skull Throne occupied, first order of business will be recruiting newer players and helping them get started. Followed by a sustained hunting expedition to the SE, S, and SW of Wiksik. Any other suggestions welcome.
| + | ''Furthermore it has been decreed that now is the time for the ascension of the rightful heir to the Skull Throne. Blessings will be heaped upon any man or woman who aids this cause.'' |
