January 31, 2009 10am EST -- SevenBlade practice session : By participating, you'll get to keep the blades to use in future contests, including this weekend's tournament. Prizes for this practice session include 200 Iron, distributed to all participants, and a pair of Huge Quartz, one to the champion and one to be awarded randomly.
(This Weekend - TBD) -- Journey to the Spirit Arena for a chance to win Cornerstones: 49 in all, plus other prizes.
January 31, 2009 Noon EST -- Mentor Chat hosted by Teppy : Mentorship is a part of ATITD's tradition of encouraging those pursuing the Discipline of Leadership to guide new players through the first stages of the game. I'll be hosting an in-game chat with some of the top Mentors from previous Tales. They will share their mentoring philosophies with all of Egypt, in order to help those with an interest in this most unique aspect of ATITD. I'd encourage even those new to the game to join us for the chat - mentors often have observations about the game that are quite insightful.
