'this is why you should always get yourself a patrick' - Aly
Hello everyone! It's weekly broadcast time! We've had a lot of additions to the site of late - some being new characters, others being new wanted ads. It's great to see some speed being built up now that things are becoming a little more normal for people out there!
As I don't have a lot to report this week, other than the fact that you're all awesome and plots are getting super fun up in here, I'm going to use this space to make a quick personal request! Can everyone please attempt to make any participation they have made in Events be their focus, if they can? <3 Some of our Events are grinding to a slow halt (I'm looking at you Colchis! ) and it would be awesome to get these moving a little more <3 If you are struggling with an Event post, please contact a Community Moderator! That's what they are there for! And if you're wanting to get involved but haven't yet posted in an Event, then try the Event Updates section at the bottom of this broadcast for some helpful hints on how to get your character up in there!
Hope you all have an awesome week you guys! See you next Monday!
New Additions Below are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all...

News and Updates
New Challenge: Points Mean Prizes! Hey guys! If you haven't noticed, the points system got a bit behind there for a second but I believe I've gotten it all caught up now! However, as every point has to be applied to every individual character account manually, there is always the possibility for error. On top of this, some character accounts do not have the accurate lists of their other characters on their accounts. So, here's the challenge this week! It's a two parter so play close attention...
1. Make sure that every character account you have, as EVERY character tag in it. It helps if you do them alphabetically. Once you have the full list just copy and paste it into each of your other accounts. It goes under the 'Characters' box under the writer's section.
2. On your profile pages, at the bottom left, your points are listed. Just hover over the icon with the little pile of coins. It will tell you how many points you have "Received". If these points are accurate and the same across every character account you possess, just post in the #member-challenge channel with a message to say all your points are correct and accurate! If you believe your total to be wrong, or the total is not the same across every character account you hold, post a message in this thread.
To claim your points, you need to post a message in the #member-challenge channel EITHER confirming that all of your accounts have the right characters listed and the right/same number of points. OR a message saying that all your accounts have the right characters listed and a link to your post in the thread linked above to show that you have made the request to have your points corrected. It doesn't matter if that request has been done yet or not - just that you made it. If you have the correct points or have requested for the correct points and posted in the #member-challenge channel, you've achieved this week's challenge!
New Gods!: Set and Nephthys If you haven't seen the main announcement yet, we have some new Kemetic Gods in play! The God of Chaos and the Goddess of Night have joined the Egyptian pantheon! You can read their welcoming messages below...
Set God of Chaos
Ha! Did you think that you were safe, little mortals? That the first Egyptian God to plague you would be one of protection? I am the storm that darkens your skies, an entropic force meant to bring disarray to all agents of harmony and order. I see some upon these lands whom already adhere to my teachings of calamity. Continue to bring such disorder upon the realm and rewards will unfold. Fail to pray and make your sacrifices and misery is to be your fate. Beware, Egyptians who seek to create balance, for my feet will soon touch these sands and my whisperings will find your ears. The time for peace is over and a new dawn of insanity is now upon us. And to those Greeks that bloody my sands, know that there are no boundaries to the power of Chaos. Read More...
Nephthys Goddess of the Night
To those that walk upon the burning sands... I am joyful to be once more a part of your world. By my honor, you'll receive shade with each sunfall and peaceful passing for your loved ones. Let the Lamentations be few but formally told, so that those that no longer thrive in this world know the care of those that still linger. For each life there is an end, for each day a closing of the night. Let us all recall that time is precious, relations sacred and that we shall all face the judgement of a single feather in the end... Read More...

Member of the Moment: Arrow Applications are a fairly standard thing with roleplay sites. Whether you love them or hate them. They're a necessity for most places. Here on Aeipathy they are incredibly important, operating as the hub of your character's story with trackers and history all in one place. But we do recognise that apps can feel like a frustrating obstacle. That sometimes, you just want to get stuck into the fun. Which means slightly sparser or easier apps that are designed to be added to later (provided all details are there and well developed) are totally fine here at Aeipathy. BUT that doesn't take away from the pure joy we feel when we witness an app that has had love and soul poured into it! Ladies and gents, we want to take this moment to recognise Arrow, who has created a wondrous application for their first creation here on Aeipathy: Dafni of Leventi. If you haven't read this thing yet, you need to hot foot it over there. We LOVE IT! Thank you Arrow for bringing your awesomeness our way!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!

Information on African Events and Provincial Stories will be in next week's broadcast!
Athenia
Lines in the Sand Date: Panamos, 672 BC Location: Dikastírio, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The senate is now open! Perhaps you are a voting member, now’s your chance to have your voice heard. Or maybe you’re seeking to know more about what’s going on. With the many gossiping nobles and commoners outside the doors, there is plenty of opportunities to eavesdrop and learn something that may not be something that you should have been privy to you. Or maybe you’d prefer a more direct approach. Lady Danae of Stravos stands apart from her father Lord @keikelius what’s going on there? While the men wander inside to discuss Athenian events, perhaps now’s the opportunity to find out what’s going on behind the scenes.
Up in Smoke Date: Panamos, 672 BC Location: Aetaea, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! (who can viably get there) Way In?: You could be traveling through Aetaea and see the billowing smoke from the distance. Perhaps you are a worried family member or friend to the Marikas wondering where exactly Rafail had gone to in the darkness of night. Or maybe you had business with the Antonis or Argyris that had you arriving at Aetaea in the worst possible moment.
Olympus Rising Date: Panamos, 672BC Location: Scholeío, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: With a bit of coin even commoners can find their way to the scholeío’s rooftop. Otherwise, you could be hired as staff, to guard the rooftop or provide drinks and food to the many nobles in attendance. Are you a rising scholar? You could work for those that are providing teachings to the people today. If you are of noble or royal blood, there is plenty of reason to find yourself on this rooftop! There are no newspapers or text messages at this time. The only way to find out about distant provinces is to show up and talk to others. And with the rumors of Aetaea’s burning running rampant, there is much to talk about. Maybe you’re interested in @iris and @aimias’s account of the fire, or you’re sensing the tension between the noble ladies? And the future Queen of Athenia, Emilia of Xanthos just caught fire! There’s plenty of opportunities to talk about that. Is this a sign from the gods?
Birthday Wishes Date: Artamisios, 674BC Location: Arcana, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Any royal or noble has reason to go to the birthday party of the youngest Princess Emilia of Xanthos. Even if you may not be close, or even friendly, with the Xanthos, this event is as much as a political affair as it is a time to have fun. Or you could be a royal visiting from a different Kingdom to congratulate the Princess and speak business with King Minas. And with three drunk nobles from three different royal houses (@marietta, @sofia, Elias of Stravos), there is opportunity to cause a bit of mischief along with them. Otherwise, if you are a commoner and have a previous connection to the Xanthos, perhaps you too also received an invitation to the party. Or you could have been hired to cater or guard the event. All are welcome on this special day!
Colchis
Viper’s Nest Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Dikastirio Chamber, Midas Attendance: All Colchian Nobles, Retainers, and Courtiers - which includes Colchian commonborn who may garnered and invitation. Way In?: There are still several ladies soaked with wine and no one is helping them? How rude! If you’re a friend (or an opportunist looking to gain favor with a noble house), perhaps offering to help the poor, wine-sodden women will garner you some favor? It seems that Princess Athanasia of Kotas has gone to speak with Lady Thea of Thanasi on the terrace - are they friends? Or is she simply keeping the scandalous woman from leaving the party too soon? It’s a perfect moment to eavesdrop! Another great thing to listen in on is the hushed conversation between Queen @yanni and @magnus - if you dare.
The Fate We Bear Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Lower Levels, Midas Attendance: All Midas Residents Welcome! This storm is affecting the entire city, but if the Lower Levels are affected, it can affect the economics of the city, still reeling from the fires a few months ago - so it would do well for the available Colchians to affect their fellow men and women, especially with the majority of the city’s men away at war. Way In?: Everyone is scrambling to find safety, but for some it seems too late. Half of the city already seems to be in shambles from the wind - and it has hardly gotten started. With few men in the city, women are having to help board and shutter windows themselves. Given the nature of the city, water has now started to cascade down through the lower levels as well, pooling in low areas. If you’re a noble, you have forces at your control within the city who can help you assist others. Perhaps you were on your way home but have gotten lost in the wind and rain? Perhaps you were prepared but your neighbor is not - you can help them or open your own doors to them, for kind reasons or not. Regardless, there is already all sorts of debris flying through the air - it’s a dangerous time! Is everyone from your family home??
Blame Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Archontiko Kotas, Midas Attendance: All Welcome (if you can reasonably enter the Kotas estate) Way In?: The Master Informer @magnus has arrived on the scene and is now examining the body. It seems a simple suicide, but that look on his face may indicate otherwise. Potentially having business with the Kotas, the sound of the door caving in can draw you to the scene of the crime. Or with the guards now rushing to the various royals in the manor, one could try to investigate what seems to be the emergency. If you work for the Kotas, you could be around the property when you hear whisperings of one of their slaves… disappearing.
Heavy Weight Date: Praratios, 680 (8 Years Ago) Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What’s a competition without an audience! Especially for a bout that includes the Crown Prince Vangelis of Kotas and a notoriously fierce competitor in Captain @damocles. High and low born can come and see, maybe gamble and lose a bit of coin. Perhaps you SEE people gambling and don’t like it - does betting against your Crown Prince count as treason? If you’re a merchant, this is a prime time to make some extra coin. There are also foreign dignitaries present, so why not make a good name for yourself with them too?
Fire And Brimstone Date: Gamos, 675 (3 Years Ago) Location: Agora Plateia, Midas Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Crown Prince needs medical attention - are you skilled in such a way? Now might be a good time to gain favor with the Crown by helping! There are still animals running around, so keep catching them - or move out of their way. On top of that, the crowds are getting rowdier, with punches being thrown and shouts going up between the followers of @ares and Hephaestus. Militants, it might help if you started breaking it up - a bit of law enforcement may be in order. Will both events need to be disbanded? As certain things start to catch fire, certain people that @damocles is commanding are trying to put out the fire, but followers of Haphaestus do what they can to stop him. Do you have everyone you came to the event with? And….is someone taking advantage of the chaos stealing all the food?
Winter Wonderland Date: Karneios, 684 (12 years ago) Location: Archontioko Kotas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a Royal Wedding Reception! Yes, things are a bit cold - maybe you are just now realising that one cloak was not enough? Perhaps you can huddle around the fire and start a bit of gossip. Commoners, this is a prime time to get your faces noticed by the upper crust - did you bring some food and wine to the event to make a bit of coin? Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! And with the Princess @tythra and King @tython now joining the children in the snowball fight, propriety seems to be gone and lines will soon be drawn in the snow. Gather your snowball, kiddies, this means war.
Artemis’s Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 (4 years ago) Location: Eubocris, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: @timaeus has started his investigation, with several observers including @celine and @adelpha. He has ordered for his militant to block the entrances to the city in an attempt to catch the murderer. A strange animal part has been found in the woman’s mouth. Is there someone that knows about such things? Also, do the markings on her body mean anything to you? Maybe you remember seeing a stranger in the market earlier and you could advise the Baron for them to be questioned. If you are not involved at this point, any sort of crowd can draw you in curiously. @celine seems to be having a hard time breathing - can you help her?
Taengea
As Autumn Falls Date: Panamos, 672 BC Location: Palati Grounds, Mikaelidas Palati, Taengea Attendance: All Nobles and Royals (mostly women) or their attendants. Way In?: The ladies of the Taengean capitol have congregated on the lawns of the Palati for an outdoors picnic and gossip! An official Court session, all nobles and royals have an existing invitation along with anyone who managed to be brought along as a guest! Perhaps you're one of these lucky few and don't know how to interact? Perhaps you insult someone? Maybe you knock into another person or you say the wrong thing about so-and-so's daughter? Remember, you can use NPCs to make things work and add scandal to the event!
These Walls of Stone Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The city is preparing for a possible attack! The defenses are going up but someone needs to lift the timber. Or, are you one of the lucky ones trying to heat tar and ensure that every corner of the wall has a pit for using hot oil as a defence? Are you a noble or a retainer and able to go down and greet the Colchian lords? Or a commoner who wants to see the soldiers that are on the way to aid King Achilleas? Remember! These men are about to leave for war. Any ladies of ill-repute wanting to capitalise on that?
Lush Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Epirus, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: A celebration for Demeter and Persephone requires pigs and phalluses. Are you an expert in either? Only women are allowed in this event but perhaps you're sneaking in? Maybe a few gents got a little too drunk and thought they could pass for the fairer sex? Maybe the wind is picking up and everyone worries about the stalls and whether the tides will turn and Demeter isn't pleased with her offerings? The Queen @theodora arrives and is looking a tad green in the face. Perhaps you know of herbs that can help bring color back to her complexion. And watch out! Rain is now pouring from the heavens, don’t all rush for cover at once! You never know what a crowd of people might knock over just to escape some water...
Prepare for the Worst Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: On the shorelines outside Vasiliadon, injured soldiers have turned up in a beaten little boat. Are you a desperate loved one trying to seek answers from the men about where your husband, brother or son might be? Are you someone who can tend to wounds, or at least provide bandages or fetch water? Are you a merchant that has seen all the commotion on the beach and decides to leave his cart unattended for a moment - only to be damn well robbed?! All are welcome in this event! For those who cannot help the ailing men, it might be a good time to go towards the temples and start praying for the protection of the other soldiers to any god or goddess who may listen!
A Lion's Pride Date: Teleos, 672 BC Location: Archontiko Mikaelidas, Taengea Attendance: Royals, Nobles and rich Commonborn Way In?: Anyone considered prominent enough to claim an invitation will be here at Elise's grand event. Even if you're a low born common that works in the stables who has had to step in for a sick serving slave. Are you someone working the floor with trays of drinks? Perhaps you snuck into the manor and now you're not sure how to get out without bumping into nobles? If you found someone really gullible maybe you could pretend to be one of them? How about guards? Are you someone employed to keep things calm and maintain decorum during any scandalous gossiping? Or maybe you're the one spreading the rumours? A wet @nikos was spotted stalking away. What went on there? A curious mind might want to figure that out. Has anyone noticed little @sara and @alastor? Alastor’s eyes look a little bloodshot, don’t they?
Eclipse of the Heart Date: Posidaios, 673 BC Location: Maliania, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: There is no limit on who can attend this event which means anyone can bump into anyone! Already, some are having great luck and others not so much. Perhaps you get mistaken for someone else in the dark? Maybe you meet the girl of your dreams but don't know who she is because you can't see her properly? Maybe you meet your lover already entwined with someone else? Or are you just someone sneaking around to learn who has a soft spot for who? Or, as the court gossip, perhaps you recognize a voice or two - and make a mental note to ask some questions later.
New Events
Edge of Honour Event - Colchis
As the moon's change marks a month since the departure of the Colchian soldiers, the upper society of the Colchian people know that such a date should be the day that the men of their lands will meet the Egyptian sands. In a demonstration of loyalty and prayer, the people of Colchis' captiol journey to the port where they crowd the docks and the coastline with small bowls of candles and flowers of honour. The pieces are set into the water and allowed to drift out and away across the waves, in the hopes that Poseidon will honour their message and allow his divine brethren to bless the Colchian soldiers, so far away, with victory...

Perhaps you were prepared but your neighbor is not - you can help them or open your own doors to them, for kind reasons or not. Regardless, there is already all sorts of debris flying through the air - it’s a dangerous time! Is everyone from your family home??
Blame Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Archontiko Kotas, Midas Attendance: All Welcome (if you can reasonably enter the Kotas estate) Way In?: The Master Informer @magnus has arrived on the scene and is now examining the body. It seems a simple suicide, but that look on his face may indicate otherwise. Potentially having business with the Kotas, the sound of the door caving in can draw you to the scene of the crime. Or with the guards now rushing to the various royals in the manor, one could try to investigate what seems to be the emergency. If you work for the Kotas, you could be around the property when you hear whisperings of one of their slaves… disappearing.
Heavy Weight Date: Praratios, 680 (8 Years Ago) Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What’s a competition without an audience! Especially for a bout that includes the Crown Prince Vangelis of Kotas and a notoriously fierce competitor in Captain @damocles. High and low born can come and see, maybe gamble and lose a bit of coin. Perhaps you SEE people gambling and don’t like it - does betting against your Crown Prince count as treason? If you’re a merchant, this is a prime time to make some extra coin. There are also foreign dignitaries present, so why not make a good name for yourself with them too?
Fire And Brimstone Date: Gamos, 675 (3 Years Ago) Location: Agora Plateia, Midas Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Crown Prince needs medical attention - are you skilled in such a way? Now might be a good time to gain favor with the Crown by helping! There are still animals running around, so keep catching them - or move out of their way. On top of that, the crowds are getting rowdier, with punches being thrown and shouts going up between the followers of @ares and Hephaestus. Militants, it might help if you started breaking it up - a bit of law enforcement may be in order. Will both events need to be disbanded? As certain things start to catch fire, certain people that @damocles is commanding are trying to put out the fire, but followers of Haphaestus do what they can to stop him. Do you have everyone you came to the event with? And….is someone taking advantage of the chaos stealing all the food?
Winter Wonderland Date: Karneios, 684 (12 years ago) Location: Archontioko Kotas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a Royal Wedding Reception! Yes, things are a bit cold - maybe you are just now realising that one cloak was not enough? Perhaps you can huddle around the fire and start a bit of gossip. Commoners, this is a prime time to get your faces noticed by the upper crust - did you bring some food and wine to the event to make a bit of coin? Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! And with the Princess @tythra and King @tython now joining the children in the snowball fight, propriety seems to be gone and lines will soon be drawn in the snow. Gather your snowball, kiddies, this means war.
Artemis’s Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 (4 years ago) Location: Eubocris, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: @timaeus has started his investigation, with several observers including @celine and @adelpha. He has ordered for his militant to block the entrances to the city in an attempt to catch the murderer. A strange animal part has been found in the woman’s mouth. Is there someone that knows about such things? Also, do the markings on her body mean anything to you? Maybe you remember seeing a stranger in the market earlier and you could advise the Baron for them to be questioned. If you are not involved at this point, any sort of crowd can draw you in curiously. @celine seems to be having a hard time breathing - can you help her?
Taengea
As Autumn Falls Date: Panamos, 672 BC Location: Palati Grounds, Mikaelidas Palati, Taengea Attendance: All Nobles and Royals (mostly women) or their attendants. Way In?: The ladies of the Taengean capitol have congregated on the lawns of the Palati for an outdoors picnic and gossip! An official Court session, all nobles and royals have an existing invitation along with anyone who managed to be brought along as a guest! Perhaps you're one of these lucky few and don't know how to interact? Perhaps you insult someone? Maybe you knock into another person or you say the wrong thing about so-and-so's daughter? Remember, you can use NPCs to make things work and add scandal to the event!
These Walls of Stone Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The city is preparing for a possible attack! The defenses are going up but someone needs to lift the timber. Or, are you one of the lucky ones trying to heat tar and ensure that every corner of the wall has a pit for using hot oil as a defence? Are you a noble or a retainer and able to go down and greet the Colchian lords? Or a commoner who wants to see the soldiers that are on the way to aid King Achilleas? Remember! These men are about to leave for war. Any ladies of ill-repute wanting to capitalise on that?
Lush Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Epirus, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: A celebration for Demeter and Persephone requires pigs and phalluses. Are you an expert in either? Only women are allowed in this event but perhaps you're sneaking in? Maybe a few gents got a little too drunk and thought they could pass for the fairer sex? Maybe the wind is picking up and everyone worries about the stalls and whether the tides will turn and Demeter isn't pleased with her offerings? The Queen @theodora arrives and is looking a tad green in the face. Perhaps you know of herbs that can help bring color back to her complexion. And watch out! Rain is now pouring from the heavens, don’t all rush for cover at once! You never know what a crowd of people might knock over just to escape some water...
Prepare for the Worst Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: On the shorelines outside Vasiliadon, injured soldiers have turned up in a beaten little boat. Are you a desperate loved one trying to seek answers from the men about where your husband, brother or son might be? Are you someone who can tend to wounds, or at least provide bandages or fetch water? Are you a merchant that has seen all the commotion on the beach and decides to leave his cart unattended for a moment - only to be damn well robbed?! All are welcome in this event! For those who cannot help the ailing men, it might be a good time to go towards the temples and start praying for the protection of the other soldiers to any god or goddess who may listen!
A Lion's Pride Date: Teleos, 672 BC Location: Archontiko Mikaelidas, Taengea Attendance: Royals, Nobles and rich Commonborn Way In?: Anyone considered prominent enough to claim an invitation will be here at Elise's grand event. Even if you're a low born common that works in the stables who has had to step in for a sick serving slave. Are you someone working the floor with trays of drinks? Perhaps you snuck into the manor and now you're not sure how to get out without bumping into nobles? If you found someone really gullible maybe you could pretend to be one of them? How about guards? Are you someone employed to keep things calm and maintain decorum during any scandalous gossiping? Or maybe you're the one spreading the rumours? A wet @nikos was spotted stalking away. What went on there? A curious mind might want to figure that out. Has anyone noticed little @sara and @alastor? Alastor’s eyes look a little bloodshot, don’t they?
Eclipse of the Heart Date: Posidaios, 673 BC Location: Maliania, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: There is no limit on who can attend this event which means anyone can bump into anyone! Already, some are having great luck and others not so much. Perhaps you get mistaken for someone else in the dark? Maybe you meet the girl of your dreams but don't know who she is because you can't see her properly? Maybe you meet your lover already entwined with someone else? Or are you just someone sneaking around to learn who has a soft spot for who? Or, as the court gossip, perhaps you recognize a voice or two - and make a mental note to ask some questions later.
New Events
Edge of Honour Event - Colchis
As the moon's change marks a month since the departure of the Colchian soldiers, the upper society of the Colchian people know that such a date should be the day that the men of their lands will meet the Egyptian sands. In a demonstration of loyalty and prayer, the people of Colchis' captiol journey to the port where they crowd the docks and the coastline with small bowls of candles and flowers of honour. The pieces are set into the water and allowed to drift out and away across the waves, in the hopes that Poseidon will honour their message and allow his divine brethren to bless the Colchian soldiers, so far away, with victory...

The Weekly Broadcast Monday 17th August 2020
'this is why you should always get yourself a patrick' - Aly
Hello everyone! It's weekly broadcast time! We've had a lot of additions to the site of late - some being new characters, others being new wanted ads. It's great to see some speed being built up now that things are becoming a little more normal for people out there!
As I don't have a lot to report this week, other than the fact that you're all awesome and plots are getting super fun up in here, I'm going to use this space to make a quick personal request! Can everyone please attempt to make any participation they have made in Events be their focus, if they can? <3 Some of our Events are grinding to a slow halt (I'm looking at you Colchis! ) and it would be awesome to get these moving a little more <3 If you are struggling with an Event post, please contact a Community Moderator! That's what they are there for! And if you're wanting to get involved but haven't yet posted in an Event, then try the Event Updates section at the bottom of this broadcast for some helpful hints on how to get your character up in there!
Hope you all have an awesome week you guys! See you next Monday!
New Additions Below are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all...
Cassiefrat
Ziggy Ivy
Rayy
We've also had new characters added to our accepted roster! Remember! The first member to start a thread with each of our newly accepted characters from new members get to collect Points! Give these characters a shout out in their relevant kingdom channel to get the plotting chat going! Just remember to give their profiles a read so that you can approach their writer with some fun ideas!
News and Updates
New Challenge: Points Mean Prizes! Hey guys! If you haven't noticed, the points system got a bit behind there for a second but I believe I've gotten it all caught up now! However, as every point has to be applied to every individual character account manually, there is always the possibility for error. On top of this, some character accounts do not have the accurate lists of their other characters on their accounts. So, here's the challenge this week! It's a two parter so play close attention...
1. Make sure that every character account you have, as EVERY character tag in it. It helps if you do them alphabetically. Once you have the full list just copy and paste it into each of your other accounts. It goes under the 'Characters' box under the writer's section.
2. On your profile pages, at the bottom left, your points are listed. Just hover over the icon with the little pile of coins. It will tell you how many points you have "Received". If these points are accurate and the same across every character account you possess, just post in the #member-challenge channel with a message to say all your points are correct and accurate! If you believe your total to be wrong, or the total is not the same across every character account you hold, post a message in this thread.
To claim your points, you need to post a message in the #member-challenge channel EITHER confirming that all of your accounts have the right characters listed and the right/same number of points. OR a message saying that all your accounts have the right characters listed and a link to your post in the thread linked above to show that you have made the request to have your points corrected. It doesn't matter if that request has been done yet or not - just that you made it. If you have the correct points or have requested for the correct points and posted in the #member-challenge channel, you've achieved this week's challenge!
New Gods!: Set and Nephthys If you haven't seen the main announcement yet, we have some new Kemetic Gods in play! The God of Chaos and the Goddess of Night have joined the Egyptian pantheon! You can read their welcoming messages below...
Set God of Chaos
Ha! Did you think that you were safe, little mortals? That the first Egyptian God to plague you would be one of protection? I am the storm that darkens your skies, an entropic force meant to bring disarray to all agents of harmony and order. I see some upon these lands whom already adhere to my teachings of calamity. Continue to bring such disorder upon the realm and rewards will unfold. Fail to pray and make your sacrifices and misery is to be your fate. Beware, Egyptians who seek to create balance, for my feet will soon touch these sands and my whisperings will find your ears. The time for peace is over and a new dawn of insanity is now upon us. And to those Greeks that bloody my sands, know that there are no boundaries to the power of Chaos. Read More...
Nephthys Goddess of the Night
To those that walk upon the burning sands... I am joyful to be once more a part of your world. By my honor, you'll receive shade with each sunfall and peaceful passing for your loved ones. Let the Lamentations be few but formally told, so that those that no longer thrive in this world know the care of those that still linger. For each life there is an end, for each day a closing of the night. Let us all recall that time is precious, relations sacred and that we shall all face the judgement of a single feather in the end... Read More...
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Arrow Applications are a fairly standard thing with roleplay sites. Whether you love them or hate them. They're a necessity for most places. Here on Aeipathy they are incredibly important, operating as the hub of your character's story with trackers and history all in one place. But we do recognise that apps can feel like a frustrating obstacle. That sometimes, you just want to get stuck into the fun. Which means slightly sparser or easier apps that are designed to be added to later (provided all details are there and well developed) are totally fine here at Aeipathy. BUT that doesn't take away from the pure joy we feel when we witness an app that has had love and soul poured into it! Ladies and gents, we want to take this moment to recognise Arrow, who has created a wondrous application for their first creation here on Aeipathy: Dafni of Leventi. If you haven't read this thing yet, you need to hot foot it over there. We LOVE IT! Thank you Arrow for bringing your awesomeness our way!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Africa
Information on African Events and Provincial Stories will be in next week's broadcast!
Athenia
Lines in the Sand Date: Panamos, 672 BC Location: Dikastírio, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The senate is now open! Perhaps you are a voting member, now’s your chance to have your voice heard. Or maybe you’re seeking to know more about what’s going on. With the many gossiping nobles and commoners outside the doors, there is plenty of opportunities to eavesdrop and learn something that may not be something that you should have been privy to you. Or maybe you’d prefer a more direct approach. Lady Danae of Stravos stands apart from her father Lord @keikelius what’s going on there? While the men wander inside to discuss Athenian events, perhaps now’s the opportunity to find out what’s going on behind the scenes.
Up in Smoke Date: Panamos, 672 BC Location: Aetaea, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! (who can viably get there) Way In?: You could be traveling through Aetaea and see the billowing smoke from the distance. Perhaps you are a worried family member or friend to the Marikas wondering where exactly Rafail had gone to in the darkness of night. Or maybe you had business with the Antonis or Argyris that had you arriving at Aetaea in the worst possible moment.
Olympus Rising Date: Panamos, 672BC Location: Scholeío, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: With a bit of coin even commoners can find their way to the scholeío’s rooftop. Otherwise, you could be hired as staff, to guard the rooftop or provide drinks and food to the many nobles in attendance. Are you a rising scholar? You could work for those that are providing teachings to the people today. If you are of noble or royal blood, there is plenty of reason to find yourself on this rooftop! There are no newspapers or text messages at this time. The only way to find out about distant provinces is to show up and talk to others. And with the rumors of Aetaea’s burning running rampant, there is much to talk about. Maybe you’re interested in @iris and @aimias’s account of the fire, or you’re sensing the tension between the noble ladies? And the future Queen of Athenia, Emilia of Xanthos just caught fire! There’s plenty of opportunities to talk about that. Is this a sign from the gods?
Birthday Wishes Date: Artamisios, 674BC Location: Arcana, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Any royal or noble has reason to go to the birthday party of the youngest Princess Emilia of Xanthos. Even if you may not be close, or even friendly, with the Xanthos, this event is as much as a political affair as it is a time to have fun. Or you could be a royal visiting from a different Kingdom to congratulate the Princess and speak business with King Minas. And with three drunk nobles from three different royal houses (@marietta, @sofia, Elias of Stravos), there is opportunity to cause a bit of mischief along with them. Otherwise, if you are a commoner and have a previous connection to the Xanthos, perhaps you too also received an invitation to the party. Or you could have been hired to cater or guard the event. All are welcome on this special day!
Colchis
Viper’s Nest Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Dikastirio Chamber, Midas Attendance: All Colchian Nobles, Retainers, and Courtiers - which includes Colchian commonborn who may garnered and invitation. Way In?: There are still several ladies soaked with wine and no one is helping them? How rude! If you’re a friend (or an opportunist looking to gain favor with a noble house), perhaps offering to help the poor, wine-sodden women will garner you some favor? It seems that Princess Athanasia of Kotas has gone to speak with Lady Thea of Thanasi on the terrace - are they friends? Or is she simply keeping the scandalous woman from leaving the party too soon? It’s a perfect moment to eavesdrop! Another great thing to listen in on is the hushed conversation between Queen @yanni and @magnus - if you dare.
The Fate We Bear Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Lower Levels, Midas Attendance: All Midas Residents Welcome! This storm is affecting the entire city, but if the Lower Levels are affected, it can affect the economics of the city, still reeling from the fires a few months ago - so it would do well for the available Colchians to affect their fellow men and women, especially with the majority of the city’s men away at war. Way In?: Everyone is scrambling to find safety, but for some it seems too late. Half of the city already seems to be in shambles from the wind - and it has hardly gotten started. With few men in the city, women are having to help board and shutter windows themselves. Given the nature of the city, water has now started to cascade down through the lower levels as well, pooling in low areas. If you’re a noble, you have forces at your control within the city who can help you assist others. Perhaps you were on your way home but have gotten lost in the wind and rain? Perhaps you were prepared but your neighbor is not - you can help them or open your own doors to them, for kind reasons or not. Regardless, there is already all sorts of debris flying through the air - it’s a dangerous time! Is everyone from your family home??
Blame Date: Kuklios, 672 Location: Archontiko Kotas, Midas Attendance: All Welcome (if you can reasonably enter the Kotas estate) Way In?: The Master Informer @magnus has arrived on the scene and is now examining the body. It seems a simple suicide, but that look on his face may indicate otherwise. Potentially having business with the Kotas, the sound of the door caving in can draw you to the scene of the crime. Or with the guards now rushing to the various royals in the manor, one could try to investigate what seems to be the emergency. If you work for the Kotas, you could be around the property when you hear whisperings of one of their slaves… disappearing.
Heavy Weight Date: Praratios, 680 (8 Years Ago) Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What’s a competition without an audience! Especially for a bout that includes the Crown Prince Vangelis of Kotas and a notoriously fierce competitor in Captain @damocles. High and low born can come and see, maybe gamble and lose a bit of coin. Perhaps you SEE people gambling and don’t like it - does betting against your Crown Prince count as treason?

Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! And with the Princess @tythra and King @tython now joining the children in the snowball fight, propriety seems to be gone and lines will soon be drawn in the snow. Gather your snowball, kiddies, this means war.
