It was about a week ago that I started getting telepathic messages again that stop me dead in my tracks. They're disorienting and a bit faded, but I keep hearing references to the Necronomicon, and that's not a good thing, because I interpret that as dire straits ahead. It could mean we're on a path toward more challenging efforts to protect our domains, both at Toulan and beyond.
The original title of the Necronomicon was Kitab al-Azif, written by Abdul Alhazred who was called the "Mad Arab" in the 8th Century. Later, this original manuscript was translated into Greek and given the name Necronomicon. Olaus Wormius (a real person) then translated the Greek version into Latin. John Dee (also a real person) translated the Necronomicon into English, and while this book is more presently related to Monria and Mountain of Madness, its origins are very much entrenched in the Arab world history, which puts Toulan in great danger.
The Necronomicon is referred to as the Book of the Dead (Book of Dead Names) and a textbook of magic with powers that are potentially life-threatening. These magical spells and incantations are used for summoning monsters and archaic deities, but we have also learned that it contains secret codes for not only locating the elusive 3 Dark Mages on Toulan, but also to create the incantation that will awaken and summon Cthulhu himself.
Hear this clearly ... Decca wants to find and release the 3 Dark Mages so they can make whatever adjustments to the Astrolabe at the Narian Temple needed that will open the sealed portal that leads to where the Narians have been living so they can return to Toulan and take control away from Queen Nara. I can only imagine what would happen if the Astrolabe in the Lotus Temple at Elara on DSEC9 were manipulated by these Dark Mages. We need to stand strong. Just because we aren't engaged in some serious threats at the moment, they are sitting in the shadows, and ...
The question is ... when will they rise into the light of day?

WARNING
We warned you before to come fully prepared because the behavior of these unique 22 modified creatures is unpredictable. Many learned with the launch of this monthly event in Dec 2020, that anyone stepping into the large aggro range of these mobs will trigger a full-on charge of all of the mobs at once, and it's not just one group of them. There are waves that include boss mobs, and then all 7 of the boss mobs in a row, one more deadly than the one before. When this initial onslaught of chaos concludes, the full scale invasion across various locations on Toulan begins for the remainder of the weekend.
For full and complete details about this monthly event, there is an article in the Dec 2020 Virtualsense Quarterly magazine that breaks everything down.
REMINDER
- The Toulan Citizenship Mission is tied into the Toulan Monthly Event only.
- You need a NawaCore MK3 to be able to take the mission from NPC Haneen at the Citadel in the Information Booth.
- Here is a link to Nawa/NawaCore information.
- Only event mobs (including the mobs at the beginning wave activity at Guardian Village) will count toward points and progressing the mission.
- Event mobs are all shared loot mobs and your contribution will give points, you don't have to have the kill shot.
- You will not receive points from event mobs while in a team.
- After completing the Toulan Citizenship Mission you will receive the Toulan Born outfit, the free space travel benefit on the Yamato and ---
- --- eligible to do all current and future Toulan Born missions and Queen Nara's continued Citizenship missions taken from the Citizens Representative
- --- the Citizens Representative NPC is located just inside of the Guardian Village East Gate on the right
(these guys, and the other wave levels all charge at once when the first player breaches their aggro range, which is quite large)
AS ALWAYS -- " EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED "
