A great new challenge has been dreamed up by Seshater, long-time friend to all Telarans! You’ve got the shinies, lets tell a story!

Shinies? Stories? So how does it work?

Build a short story by using the names of artifacts! You do not have to have the artifacts collected on your character. There are well over ten thousand artifact names to choose from, so your creativity has almost no borders.

 

The Rules

  • You must use the full artifact names (not only parts of the name)
  • You are allowed to use between 20 (min) and 50 (max) artifact names for your story
  • For each different artifact in your story, you are allowed to use 2 other words of your choice to add to the story.
  • Each sentence must at least include 2 artifact names.
  • To make things easy for us when evaluating the entries, please write your story with artifact names in square brackets, i.e. [artifact name]

A very short example:

[Volturnus] has a [Death Fetish] for [Zombie Skin] and [Undead Flesh]. [No No Stop Eating My Face] he said to [Dead Simon]. [Cold Dead Eyes] stared, while [Dead Man’s Fingers] touched his [Blue Head Feather].

 

Deadline for entries:

Submit your stories by posting them in this thread until 2018-03-31 (11:59 pm PDT).

The winners will be chosen in the week following, by the Lord of All Shinies himself, DeadSimon, the always opinionated CaptainCursor, and their Dwarven compatriot, Brasse.

Bonus points are offered for good stories with NO filler words – actual prepositions are among legitimate available artifacts – check the catalog yourself!

 

Prizes:

  • If winners are on RIFT Live: A selection of cool mounts will be offered for the winners from RIFT Live to choose from, including Community Snails and Tuskars.
  • If winners are on RIFT Prime: 30-day patron codes.
  • 5 random legitimate entries will also earn 30-day Patron codes!

The winning entries will be read out loud on a RIFT Livestream by Brasse, Dead Simon and CaptainCursor!

 

Get it? Got it? Good! Now start writing.

HAVE FUN!

Seshatar

Did you miss last Friday’s 7 Years of RIFT Memories stream? We’ve got you covered!

Here it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig_cbLzokb4

  • Find out the name chosen for the very first RIFT Prime server!
  • Get a sneak peek at the Carnival of the Ascended mount (in this blog thumbnail too!)
  • Listen in on mayhem and madness as DeadSimon, DarkMoon, CaptainCursor and Brasse talk about the “good old days” of pre-launch RIFT – we launched seven years ago, so memories are supported with archeological notes found deep within sedimentary layers of old Dev documentation!

Join us every Friday at 11:30 AM PDT (17:30 UTC) for RIFT Livestreams on Twitch TV – we always simulcast on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!

All aboard the Atrophinius lore train!

We’re a bit late getting the stream sorted out this week, as everyone is working on projects for Live and Prime… but hey, I caught me a Captain Cursor, A.K.A. Atrophinius, and he’d LOVE to talk more lore tomorrow, if only to get out of his other pressing deadlines!

Atrophinius is commandeering the livestream on PTS SERVER. Zones: Silverwood (Freemarch as a backup). Mayhem will ensue!

Post your pressing Lore questions here (lore ONLY – Brasse and Atrophinius know nothing of engineering, think bugs are due to living too close to swampy areas and cannot balance their own checkbooks, never mind classes… but RP and lore? HECK YES!
