Subj: September promotion - Draconic relics!

Hi folks!

September is here, and with it comes a new promotion: a coffer of Draconic tributes!

Draconic Coffers are based on the familiar Cryptic Chest format and can be obtained from the Artifact Packages section
of the Aetolia website at www.aetolia.com/credits, priced at $4.99 each. Each coffer is guaranteed to contain at least 
17 credits of value, with the average return coming in considerably higher.

Crack one open and primordial radiance might reveal:
* Credit prizes ranging from 23 to 250.
* 15 Iron Coins.
* Small bags of chocolates, globes of elemental energy, silver chalices, firework displays, customisation certificates,
morphic metal, and more.
* Technique scrolls for the tundral, drunken, elegant, stiff, gory, and phasic styles, with a small chance to receive a
style point instead.
* A selection of six minipets: an ice wyrmling, a lava-wreathed wyrmling, a fledgling air beast, an indolent baby sloth,
a tiny, rock-ribbed snakelet, and an overly-affectionate mink.
* Compendium pages for the Bonro Sands, The Skythrone, the Teshen Caldera, (NEW!) the Crimson Coast, The Forgotten
Mausoleum, and Beggar's Barrow.
* Ephemeral relic coffers, containing certain temporary relics such as resplendence, dissonance, dreamscape, sangchoker,
sunspear, keeneye and repair.
* There are also rare chances to obtain antiquated artifact salvage and ambience tokens!
* Talon-bound relic reliquaries, containing pieces from our brand new (NEW!) Draconic relic set: draconic_sloth,
draconic_lust, draconic_greed, draconic_pride, draconic_gluttony, draconic_envy, and draconic_wrath. Each piece is 
valued at 30 credits.

The new Draconic relics offer the following powers:

draconic_envy - Covet another player and, if they magically travel while beside you, potentially pursue them through a
short-lived rift left behind.
draconic_gluttony - Groundwatch: While flying, watch the ground below for the movement of players and denizens entering
or leaving your room.
draconic_greed - Once per Howling, pay a gold bribe when rerolling a relic piece to guarantee another relic piece
instead of bound credits.
draconic_lust - Keep track of your twenty most recent successful Persuasions and whether they remain active, while also
allowing Adoration to affect most animals.
draconic_pride - Predict that you will personally kill another player and build a streak of successful predictions to
unlock powers.
draconic_sloth - Slumber with the egg to periodically heal allies around you, with an explosive fiery reprisal if
another player wakes you.
draconic_wrath - Encase a mutual ally in restorative ice for five seconds, shielding them completely from several damage
types while they recover health.

And for those ambitious enough to collect the whole set:

draconic_combined - Obtained by fusing all seven other Draconic relics together, this inherits their powers and allows
the bearer to devour and later exhale certain temporary environmental phenomena (e.g. walls).

You can refer to RELIC LIST PROMO FULL for the full details of the Draconic relics and their effects.

A new month also means the Trading Post's stock has rotated! For September it has:

* a hazelnut chocolate
* a fudge chocolate
* a patriotic firework display
* an "Ere's Unsupervised Explosive Extravaganza" firework display
* a preserved, yellowed eye
* a scroll of instructions
* a random style scroll

As always, Draconic Coffers can be purchased for $4.99 each from the Artifact Packages section of the Aetolia website at
www.aetolia.com/credits! You'll also find a coffer for purchase in the milestone shop too.

Enjoy!
