Dated: 7 January 2026
Greetings, Dear Listeners,
Your humble scribe offers apologies for the brief silence—holiday revels and real-world obligations conspired against timely publication. Fear not, however. The quill never truly rests, and the whispers of the realm have been carefully gathered, catalogued, and occasionally smirked at. Let us begin.
A Public Confession (and a Gentle Reminder)
On the sacred date of December 25th, amidst the usual hum of Global Chat, one Illyrian made a bold declaration:
“[16:05] <Thorfinn> I’m in love with the quilly person.”
Ahh, dear Thorfinn. Your courage does not go unnoticed, nor does your impeccable taste. It takes a special sort of bravery to profess admiration so openly, especially for a figure as mysterious, sharp-tongued, and devastatingly well-informed as the Quilly.
I am, of course, delighted by the compliment—and while affection alone is more than welcome, allow this scribe a gentle reminder: admiration may also be expressed materially. The “donate” option upon the IllyQuill site remains open, as this publication is hosted from my own coffers. With renewal looming in roughly five months… well—wink wink, nudge nudge.
Love is fleeting. Server bills are eternal.
The Return of the Whiskered Menace
A familiar, whiskered silhouette has once more darkened the halls of Global Chat.
Yes, dear readers—Snagglepuss has returned.
With him comes the inevitable resurrection of Free Tuna Fridays, a tradition beloved by some and deeply suspicious to others. Let us rejoice cautiously, bowls in hand, as the realm once again adjusts to his… presence.
Spoils of War: Tournament Prizes Revealed
In other news, Sheogorath’s tournament prizes have officially reached this reporter’s desk. While gold is always appreciated, it is not the coin alone that draws the eye—there are other treasures at play here, and they are… intriguing.
Readers are encouraged to peruse the prizes closely and ask themselves the important questions:
Is it worth the bloodshed? The sleepless nights? The inevitable forum drama?
For this scribe, the answer is a resounding yes.
Audrey Stirs: Tentacles Repelled, Questions Remain
On the Audrey front, progress—actual progress—appears to have been made. The server advances, tentacles have been repelled, and now the realm collectively holds its breath.
The prevailing question: what comes next?
Discussion has centered heavily on the message received at a quest town following the repulsion event. Interpretations abound, theories multiply, and speculation runs rampant. For those wishing to follow developments as they unfold, updates are being logged near real-time on the Illyriad forums:
This naturally leads one to wonder: Will the Elven Spirit Bow be obtained before the crafting update arrives? Should that occur, one might speculate—purely academically, of course—about the beginning of a rather pointed Elven advantage, if not an outright racial imbalance. The rewards are exceedingly favorable.
The plot, dear readers, does indeed thicken.
Of Multis, Monkeys, and Moral Lessons
And finally—fresh from today’s Global Chat—another multi-ban incident has surfaced. An abridged exchange follows:
“Did garavi get banned?”
“Like the others before?”
“Their alt was.”
“Prob part of the amnesty system.”
“We would not be able to see the profile if banned…”
Investigation confirms that garavi’s main profile remains active, while the linked secondary account does not—seemingly banned, and rightly so.
GM Jejune weighed in decisively:
“There is no more amnesty for multis. If you are caught, action will be taken—without warning or dialogue. Please do not multi. I don’t want to see any of you go.”
A sobering reminder, if ever there was one.
The situation then took a turn toward the ironic, as Thorfinn once again entered the spotlight:
“[19:58] <Thorfinn> I posted a harmless screenshot of Garavi’s magic score and he got banned one day later.”
To which the ever-observant Monkey replied:
“[19:59] <MonkeyJtzu> Thorfinn is a narc.”
Say it isn’t so.
But jokes aside—multiaccounting remains bad, mmkay? The rules are clear, enforcement is real, and Monkey is always watching.
Until next time, dear readers—keep your accounts singular, your whiskers trimmed, and your confessions tasteful.
