06.27 - Agelong
Greetings adventurers!
I hope everyone’s been having an amazing time. With Saturday night’s Agelong event fast approaching, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about what’s in store without spoiling too many surprises.
Theme: Elves vs. Orcs, with a sprinkle of spirit animals and fae for added intrigue.
Mechanics of Magic & Death:
• Death is optional. You can choose to accept the magic of Agelong and respawn after being “killed,” or opt to stay down.
• If you do respawn, you'll return with 1 body at your designated location.
• Levels 1–5 respawn with full body.
• Magic does not regenerate automatically, but you can sacrifice to restore it:
Level 1–5: You're in luck! No sacrifice needed, your magic returns.
Level 6–10: Sacrifice either your top-tier magic, a one-shot (like a death strike), or 1 life.
Level 11–15: Sacrifice 1 life credit.
Level 16–20: Sacrifice 2 life credits.
In short: if you're Level 1–5, elf or orc, you’re going to feel like absolute heroes out there. Enjoy the power while it lasts!
Quests & Loot:
• Expect non-combat NPCs, mainly spirit animals, offering unique quests and rewards.
• Major loot awaits those who stick it out until the end. (Target end: ~2:30 AM unless the heat or exhaustion wraps things up earlier.)
• Keep an eye out for epic foes during the night. Take them down, and the spoils are yours.
Schedule:
• I'll give the full rundown Saturday around 7:30 PM. We're aiming for an 8:00 PM start, but hey, it's Agelong. Time is flexible.
Pro tips: Stay hydrated, swing safely, and most of all, soak in the magic of the night.
Huge thanks to everyone who’s helping bring this night to life, especially Rob and Jeremiah for their brilliant support and framework.
06.20 - Sign-outs
Good evening, members,
The Game Master (GM) staff would like to remind everyone of the guidelines for submitting sign-outs between events.
Each sign-out may include:
• One in-between event action, and
• One economic action
In general terms, this means you may go to one place and do one thing.
We’ve noticed a growing number of sign-outs containing four to seven actions in a single submission. While we appreciate your enthusiasm, this creates an unrealistic workload for the GM staff to process between events.
Going forward:
• If more than one action is submitted, only the first listed action will be processed.
• Please list all applicable skills relevant to the action you are attempting. If a skill is not listed, we will assume you do not have it. Unfortunately, we do not have the time or resources to verify skills with other GSOM members.
Your cooperation helps us keep the game running smoothly and fairly for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
— The GM Staff
06.19 - A Messsge from Safety Staff
As we are on the verge of our 10 day, Agelong event, your safety team has a few reminders.
Temperatures will be in the 80s and 90s throught the event, so please stay hydrated and include salt in your diet.
Take breaks out of the heat, even if that means sitting in your car with the AC on for a short time.
Remember items like sunscreen, aloe (if the sunscreen fails), fans, ice/cooling packs, and drinks with electrolytes.
Members of Safety Staff will be on field for the duration of the event.
For Agelong night, there will be dedicated members of safety staff in pink sashes on hand all night to assist as needed. If you would like to volunteer to be dedicated safety staff for this night, please email Parisa, Safety 1st, at safety@kanar.club.
See you all out there. Stay safe and hydrated.
Parisa, Safety 1st
06.16 - Agelong Approaches
June...
Violent tremors and fierce battles subside for a short time of tense reprieve, as the ground settles and soldiers take to camps. In the aftershocks of the trauma, the oppressive methodical air of war shifts into something wild and chaotic.
Agelong approaches.
Empowered by the deep connection to the rituals of their hidden tribes, orcs prepare their bodies and metal to meet their blood-bound foes in the fury of the solstice night. Their mystical chanting echoes through the indomitable forests as they drink the fermented blood of their conquered elven enemies from years past. Together, they toast to the glory of life, the thrill of the hunt, and the blessings and might of Orc Father Cro.
Simultaneously, elves prepare their own for the encroaching night. Locked in meditative fury, driven by the blood of Elf Father Ylf, they pass down warnings and pitfalls to the younger generations and ready them for the intensity of the hunt. Deep into the nights, they adorn their bodies with battle paint in the light and heat of their communal fires while elders speak of the glory of Father Ylf and the treachery and betrayal of his orc brother Cro. Together, with orc blood in their wine glasses raised to the moon, they toast to their victory.
As the days grow longer, hotter, and tense with fear and fury, The Great Swamp churns below, hungrily waiting for the spilled blood of kin turned enemies.
Welcome to Kanar’s Weeklong event!
Q: What is Weeklong?
A: Weeklong is Kanar’s annual 10-day June event, which spans two consecutive weekends and includes the weekdays in between. Game will be on the entire time, and staff will be running encounters and story throughout the entire 10-day event. The dates for this years Weeklong are June 20th-29th.
Q: What is Agelong?
A: Agelong is an in-game holiday, originally player created, to commemorate the ongoing confrontation and tension between the Walker of Elfs, Ylf, and the Walker of Orcs, Cro, and their descendants of elves and orcs. This is celebrated yearly in-game on the night of the summer solstice, where elves and orcs battle from sunset until sunrise. In the past, the hunt has run from dusk until dawn, but due to safety concerns in recent years, the GM staff has ended the hunt at approximately 2am while giving PCs the opportunity to continue combat and RP without staff if desired.
Though the in-game hunt takes place on the solstice, the actual day of solstice may not be used due to scheduling conflicts.
Q: When is Agelong?
A: Agelong will be the second Saturday of the Weeklong event, June 28th.
Q: What if my PC is not an Orc or Elf?
A: Traditionally, it is customary for PCs who do not PC an elf or orc to NPC for Agelong, generally as an elf or orc to fill numbers for the battle.
Elves and orcs, PC and NPC, may exhibit hostility to those who attempt to participate in the hunt that are not descendants of elves and orcs. This is not always the case, and elves and orcs may be more or less welcoming to others during the hunt depending on the circumstances of the hunt. If you wish to play your PC during Agelong, or you do not wish to participate in the battle but would still like to contribute, please speak with the encounter runner.
Q: Who are Cro and Ylf?
A: Ylf, the First Elf, is the progenitor of the elven bloodline. Cro, the First Orc, is the progenitor of the orcish bloodline. Do you want to know more about them? Find out in character!
