December 2022 Roundup
Winter in Ivras continues, the weather seemingly turning a little colder and clearer than the muddy, rainy autumn and beginning of winter. The harvest was not quite as bad as some feared, at least not everywhere, but it could still prove to be an uncomfortable winter.
Happy new year! We have some exciting things coming up! A new event, some changes to staff, and a new story prompt.
š changes to the staff team
As 2022 comes to a close, we say goodbye to @Frankensteins as administrator, and hi to me, Apel, as the new sole admin of Anathema!
I canāt thank Frank enough for these last two years, and for trusting me with this gem of a game! I hope I will do Anathema justice and continue running this for years to come ā„ļø
We might still see Frank around as an admin emeritus, say hi if he pokes his head in!
š we are looking for new mods!
Applications are accepted until the 14th of January, and the new mods will be announced some days later!

january 2023 Story Prompt:
Last year, one year after the corruption of Archmage Hagia, the Feast of Flowering celebrations were subdued, and in some cases, canceled entirely.Ā
The year that followed has been considered bad by many. Now there are whispers among the superstitiousāperhaps the bad year was a consequence of unhappy Patrons, snubbed of their yearly springtime offering?
