Vol. V — The One Where Nobody Came Back
Dated: 25 July, 2025
🌕 The Lonewolf Howls Once More
Rejoice! After a quiet spell beneath the moonlight, Lonewolf has returned to the fold. No grim tale—just time well spent with his brother. The silence breaks, and the howl is heard again. Welcome home.
⚔️ War Without End
The fires between Chill and Laugh still smolder. Skirmishes rage on, and though lines blur and banners falter, neither side shows signs of relenting.
A cold war? Hardly. This one burns.
🔄 The Great Unfurling: Alliances in Motion
As the drums of the tournament begin to stir, banners shift and allegiances dance. A flurry of movement precedes the storm:
- Thorfinn now rides with the knights of SkB
- Sir Bradley and Ranalos have pledged their blades to TDF
- Meat Puppet, Snagglepuss, and Emil seek glory under the SMA banner
- Remy, long-missed, once more walks among ARR
- And lastly… Nobody is with Chaos*.
Except, dear reader, “Nobody” has a name: the elusive Eowan has returned, cloaked in silence no longer.
What spell lies behind these shifts? Only time—and war—will tell.
🪶 On the Naming of Things
A delightful seed planted by our cherished reader Ashi has blossomed: this humble parchment shall now be called a Quilly. A charming moniker for our missive—light as a feather, sharp as a quill. Thank you, Ashi. The name stays.

🧵 Crafting the Future
The devs have emerged from their forge with a scroll of queries—a spreadsheet, if you must be plain—seeking insight from the realm’s most creative minds. Responses abound across the threads, rich with player thoughts, dreams, and diagrams.
If you’ve ever longed to shape Illyriad’s crafting future… now’s your moment. Speak.
