First, as a reminder, the first IRE Lottery will be drawn tomorrow at
the Howling. Read HELP IRE LOTTERY if you're unfamiliar with it. The
prize is a huge 5,000 unbound credits, and you can split this initial
prize across any IRE game if you win it!

Second, we have a new promotion item replacing the globes of elemental
energy.

The new item is a torch of the Underhalls. This torch will attune itself
to whatever area it is LIT in and will burn for eight hours after which
the torch will disappear. During this time you can WAVE TORCH to
instantly teleport you to that area so long as you are not in active
combat. Don't worry, you'll keep the torch! If you GAZE at the torch, it
will tell you how many mobs are alive in the area, how many minutes ago
the last mob died, and how many minutes until the next mob respawns.
Probing it will reveal what area you attuned it to, as well as how much
longer it has left to burn.

You'll get 2 torches for every 100cr purchased, and an extra 2 for every
500cr. You can also choose to TRADEIN TORCH for an instant 5 bound
credits per torch, but only if you have yet to light it, and only the
original owner can do so.

These torches are not bound to you, so you can sell them as you please.
They do eventually decay, but a storeroom will preserve them as normal.

Penned by my hand on the 2nd of Chakros, in the year 393 MA.
