Citizens of Egypt,
 +
 +
I'm writing to announce the release of the final 5 Tests of A Tale in the Desert V, including an update of a Test not seen since our first Tale in the Desert, the Test of Astrological Alignment. In celebration of this, we'll also have a Welcome Back Weekend,<br>
 +
starting:    Friday, July 8, beginning at 12:00 Noon EDT (GMT-0400)
 +
 +
In the Test of Astrological Alignment, you perform a simple ritual at a Common Altar with one other priest. The ritual will reveal whether you are "aligned" with that other priest. The goal of the Test is to find a group of 5 priests, all aligned with each other.
 +
 +
Starting with this Tale, we'll be holding player gathering toward the end of the current Tale, rather than at the beginning of the next Tale. The Tale 5 gathering will take place in Pittsburgh next month:
 +
 +
August 19 - August 21, 2011
 +
 +
As is tradition, we are selling pet monkeys (with some new animations) in-game, for $75. Each monkey comes with one free admission to the Tale 5 Player Gathering.<br>
 +
 +
At the gathering you'll get a chance to meet fellow ATITD players in real-life, discuss Tests and Technologies for A Tale in the Desert VI, enjoy excellent food & beverages, and pet a real camel. Well, we'll see about the camel part. We are planning a Sunday trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo as part of the gathering.<br>
