15 Year Anniversary Mod&SRP Event End! All of the clues unearthed by the community have led to the crystal caves... The crystal caves are marked by an inconspicuous dirt path, trodden by those that have been coming to investigate since its discovery. The entrance is mostly concealed by bushes and, strangely, the sprout that's usually guarding the key appears to be missing from their usual perch on the nearby rocks. Just inside the cave entrance is the door that was put up to keep out wandering travelers, allowing only those that know to find the key inside, however, rather than being met with the usual locked heavy wooden door, it appears to be open just a crack. Just past the door, the tunnel opens up considerably, the crystals lining the walls glowing in a faint hue. Their color changes by the month, a strange phenomenon that no one has been able to figure out in the years since the discovery. At first, nothing seems out of the ordinary, the crystals are as they usually are, lighting the way deeper into the sprawling tunnel system, but soon voices can be heard, muffled and indistinct, but oddly familiar. As the tunnel opens into a large cavern with giant, sator sized crystals hanging from the ceiling, the sound of the waterfall at the back of the room only slightly drowns out the cheers from the research team. Standing around several tables decorated with food, ribbons and flickering candles of all colors are the humans that made themselves at home in Kio all those years ago. There's no distress, no traps or injuries, just a group of smiling friends. “Happy fifteen years of Taneta Village!!” Kate squeals, moving in for a hug with a bounce in her step that's comfortingly familiar, “you look so confused!” Teia laughs, a grin spreading across her face, “we wanted to surprise the village with a party for our fifteen years researching here on Kio, but that's awfully hard to do when you're all so nosy, darling.” Virva giggles, her voice light hearted and amused, if anything. 'If 'm honest,” Rumb speaks next from a seat by one of the tables, scratching the back of his neck, “I was worried ya wouldn't be able to find us, I tried my best to leave clues that made sense, ya'know? Glad you made it!” “Of course they made it!” Mik chirps from his seat next to Rumb, clapping his hands together with a fond, gentle smile, Rumb's sprout, Truffle, settled in his lap fast asleep, “they're all quite smart, you know? Give them some more credit, Rumb.” “Sorry, sorry, you're right. Of course ya found us!” With a jovial laugh, Rumb claps Mik on the shoulder, an action that the naturalist seems used to by the amused smile. “Let's not let the food go to waste! Kevin, Mik and I put a lot of work into it after all!” Kate was beaming, gesturing to the table of food as Kevin's thane, Sky, hopped up to grab a fresh bun like the invite was for her. “It's not like I did much,” Kevin's expression was mildly sour as he gave the table of food a glance, “neither of you would actually listen to my ideas for it...” “Thank goodness for that. It means it's actually edible.” Teia mumbles under her breath, too far from the head alchemist for him to hear, before speaking again at a usual volume, “grab something to eat and enjoy! We'll send word to Irefe that we were found and she'll bring the rest of the village to join us soon, just enjoy yourself! You've done more than enough work for today.” ~Happy 15 Year Anniversary, Windrose!~ Thank you for participating in the 15 year anniversary event, we hope you all had a great time whether you played the SRP portion of the event, the mod portion, or both!

15 Year Anniversary Mod&SRP Event End!

All of the clues unearthed by the community have led to the crystal caves...

The crystal caves are marked by an inconspicuous dirt path, trodden by those that have been coming to investigate since its discovery. The entrance is mostly concealed by bushes and, strangely, the sprout that's usually guarding the key appears to be missing from their usual perch on the nearby rocks. Just inside the cave entrance is the door that was put up to keep out wandering travelers, allowing only those that know to find the key inside, however, rather than being met with the usual locked heavy wooden door, it appears to be open just a crack.

Just past the door, the tunnel opens up considerably, the crystals lining the walls glowing in a faint hue. Their color changes by the month, a strange phenomenon that no one has been able to figure out in the years since the discovery. At first, nothing seems out of the ordinary, the crystals are as they usually are, lighting the way deeper into the sprawling tunnel system, but soon voices can be heard, muffled and indistinct, but oddly familiar.

As the tunnel opens into a large cavern with giant, sator sized crystals hanging from the ceiling, the sound of the waterfall at the back of the room only slightly drowns out the cheers from the research team. Standing around several tables decorated with food, ribbons and flickering candles of all colors are the humans that made themselves at home in Kio all those years ago.
