Sagu Fool's Day?
|
The folly of April’s Fools in the realms, was met with a different trick this year. Loudly across the lands, a familiar yet ancient voice rose. Many old patrons of Nexus remember Mupa’s one true love, and she has spent her entire life trying to resurrect him. Today, we ventured a glance into her efforts, as Sagu’s voice bellowed across the lands. His deep rooted desire to sew chaos still nestled in his actions.
Sagu has aged very well since his last sighting.
He challenged all those who thought they were worthy, to come to Vale. He even did a written proclamation. Sagu's post on community board
Many citizens across the lands gathered their weapons, armors, and friends and ventured forth. They were met with nearly every monstrosity that Nexus has known over the years. Creatures from Vortex, Mythic, Malgalod, Gogoon Island; all gathered ready to send souls to the local Shaman.
  
  
  
Community members can be seen striking down anything Sagu threw at them. Creatures large and small heeded Sagu's call for violence.
Many players perished at the hands of Sagu’s minions, and his voice could be heard taunting all, with more pointed insults aimed at Prince Mobon. Both voices too loud to ignore, many from the community joined into the conversation.
 
This was just part of the conversations had.
But in the end the citizens of Nexus bested Sagu, and he admitted he had underestimated his foe, and retreated back to “The Other Kugnae”, which is to be believed Alt Kugnae. A land of fire, death, and terror. For any reader wanting to read up on Alt Kugnae
His last ringing words "And, I will remember each and everyone of you here who has wronged me. Especially Toxick and Supply. Just you wait!"
Sagu asked what crime he’d committed and that he’d come with a warning. However with the way he was greeted, he no longer cared to take over our realm. But what of this warning? Do we know? Do we care? It is April Fool's after all.
This reporter would like to thank Ogedei, Sunder & Chongde and all the participates in the screenshots. I would also like to thank Kaleea for assisting me in this reporting, old reporters can learn new things.

'Do' a little service for Kugnae: Jahova named Royal Minister
|
Royal Minister Jahova stands on the Koguryo front steps with the reporter to discuss the announcement of his appointment.
Amid the fuss of April Fool's Day, and Sagu's shenanigans, there was a glimmer of truth and real hope. Koguryo announced the appointment of Jahova as their newest Royal Minister. The quiet Do met with me in the middle of the night on the palace steps to chat a little on the matter.
Do Master Royal Minister Jahova. That's a hefty title. Congratulations on your appointment in the Koguryo Royal Ministry! What's going through your mind right now?
I'm wondering how to best serve this nation, now. It's been my home for a long time, and I've love to see it flourish. I'm honored to have been asked to serve.
I know you have some experience being a role model, as a guide and prior member of the Koguryo Royal Army. How would you describe your leadership style or process?
I definitely prefer to lean on my peers for support, and prefer to be in the trenches with fellow members of the ministry. As they are my seniors, I'll use their experience to guide us - collectively.
So, you prefer the Lao Tzu method of leadership - where you are unrecognizable from those you are leading. And on that note, what kind of people do you hope to have in the ministry with you?
Simple: Those who love their country, too. It's a small ask, but it's my only one, thus far.
What do you anticipate will be your first steps as the new RMK leader?
First, I will be establishing - or reestablishing - the members of the ministry. Next, we will be getting our name back out there: Events, Koguryo Defender Ceremony, and the like.
What sort of relationship do you believe the RMK will have with its neighboring clans and kingdoms?
I hope for a positive one. We are all in this together, after all.
Do you have any messages you'd like to sent to the kingdoms about this appointment, or any other thoughts to share?
I don't. I'm just happy to have the opportunity to serve, and I look forward to what the future brings. Onward, Azure Koguryo!
We wish Jahova the best of luck with the road ahead!

Switching roles: Swords, and head judges
|
The reporter retains bragging rights for having had her Novice Sword ready and equipped well before the morning chaos ensued. Calls for comment weren't answered.
On scheduled chaos in the Kingdoms
A long-standing issue within the Kingdom of the Winds is the daily scheduled chaos. Storms instantly break out every 4:00 AM (EST) to wash away the people's many unspeakable sins, as well as to specifically purge any Yellow Scrolls left to mark the path from one ogre camp to the other for completion of the Staff of the Elements quest.
After being bombarded with the rising chaos for years, it is understandable that some members of the community have adapted coping mechanisms to deal with the pre-sunrise torrential weather. One such example includes sleeping through the cacophony while huddled into east-to-west bands collectively facing southward. After the storms pass, the gateway will be washed clean of human presence, and nature attempts in vain to reclaim the space before the community begins to trample through the dust yet again two and a half minutes later. This phenomenon can easily be witnessed around the western gate of Koguryo.
Sometimes, after these noxious torrents, reality emerges a little broken for twenty-four hours. Yin may become Yang, rabbits become dogs, that one guy dressed like a dragon finally decides to sell his 800,000 Ambers, or the Novice Sword you forgot about in your bank for years becomes a Sevenleaf Sword.
This is one of those mornings.
As the collective consciousness that is the Kingdoms awoke, the sudden and unexplained urge to check inventories and bank vaults resulted in mass withdrawals of Novice Swords, with community members hoping to show off in front of their friends. The aforementioned bands of folks facing southward in straight lines facing east-to-west would happily pose together in solidarity of having had the fortune of owning the Novice Sword well before the morning storm blew away all sense and caused this irregularity (and sudden rise in demand).
So, enjoy facing magnetic south and brandishing your Sevenleaf Sword for the 24 hour period of nonsense and fun this 1st of April, and lament the fact that Lucky probably got washed away in the process. He knows what he did.
Please enjoy your April Fool's Day with wariness, and don't buy any engraved items that look like a Sevenleaf Sword until tomorrow. Or do, it's your business.
In serious news: Teragg retires from Head Judge position
What is far from being a prank is the announcement that Teragg, the revered and honored Head Judge in the Kingdoms, has retired from his position as of March 14. He remains the valued advisor to the Justice Team during his retirement. Heira was named his successor.
Teragg had served the community as Judge for decades, and is respected for being a tough but fair individual in his judgments. He leaves behind a long and storied legacy, having been an integral part of the Justice Team as its leader and mentor.
He began his long career in the Justice Team in 2006 as Judge, and was appointed Head Judge for the first time in 2007 by Vini. Teragg would hold the title until 2009, when he appointed Logorin as successor. He'd resume the position of Head Judge in 2011 alongside the retirement of DavidJM, and retained his duties ever since.
Whether it was a simple task of answering questions, or receiving advice on how to mitigate interpersonal situations, a large portion of the community relied on Teragg's assistance. This is not even addressing the myriad Justice cases he answered, either directly under his own name, or through guidance entrusted to his team members.
In summary, Teragg was the man you went to for problems to be solved to make your existence in the Kingdoms a little more peaceful.
Nexus Atlas wishes to earnestly thank Teragg for giving the Kingdoms so much of his time and energy over the years, and hope the Justice Team will continue the trend of being a trusted group to keep the community safe in this new chapter of the organization.

The brat is back: Lucky spotted in the Kingdoms
|
Having never seen the trollish figure before, Shingen questions both his life choices and how to proceed in catching Lucky at the northern gate of the Mythic Nexus.
Everyone's favorite redhaired brat has returned to the Kingdoms, scaring off the yearly butterfly migration. That means it's time to bother your local chefs, and stock up on mining picks! Instructions are as follows, from the NexusAtlas archives:
How to bag Lucky
 You'll first need a Lucky Net. The recipe to create one is 1 Wooden Saber, 1 Wheat, 1 Wolf pelt, 1 Noodles. Take this to Gruff Smith in Sanhae, and say you want to know about "Lucky" to him.
Go searching for tiny redhead in a green robe. Once you have him cornered, give him a few swings of the net until he starts yapping. Don't let him get away! Say, "Tell me about your Kettle of Gold!" And when he gives you further sass, respond, "Are you kidding, give me the location now!"
After the shakedown and subsequent harassment, make your way to Thane's Cave in the Wilderness and buy some Lucky Picks. Swap out your net for the Lucky Pick and begin running about the Wilderness mining lands, until you stumble upon the Pot of Gold. Note you might find some dummy pots in the process.
If you, yourself, are lucky, you might walk away with a prize, such as an Emerald Fan, Golden Fan, Lucky Staff, Lucky Bouquet, Clover Trinket, Golden Trinket, White Trinket, White Flag, Golden Baloom, Lucky Balloom, Golden Lantern, or Luck Lantern. A legend mark is also in store for you, as a reward for all your efforts.
Reminder: Once you're done with your Lucky Net, share the wealth; the net can be loaned to others to use.
Brew some Green Ale
 So, you're parched after terrorizing a minute gremlin in green. Head to Haeng in the Arctic Inn and ask him about his famous Green Ale. Tell him "I'd like to help and promise I won't" publicize his secret recipe. He'll give you a bucket.
Head to Lover's Lake, and walk about the lake until your water jug is full. Report back to Haeng for more instructions.
He says he needs Barley, and the scamp planted some among Ssal's farm in Kugnae. Proceed to trespass by jumping the fence at 101,132 and run amok grabbing Barley until you have 10 and get thrown out.
Now that you're a blight on society, head back to Haeng, who will tell you he now needs Hops. Haguru at Du Mountain has your back. Walk up to him and ask him about "Hops." He's happy to assist. After that, back to Haeng you go.
He informs you that you now need Yeast. Over at the Spruce Inn in Sanhae, they just so happen to have what you need, for whatever reason. Yell at the Innkeeper that you need some "Yeast" and she will surrender some. Yet again, you run back to Haeng.
You're forced to then shlep to the Woodlands, where you head to the rocks at 65,15 to scrape off 5 Green Algae. Return with your prizes to Haeng.
And now, the hardest patience trial begins (take notes, Do), as you have to wait 15 minutes for the brew. You can wait patiently or pester him for the entire time, but either way, check back with Haeng to finally get your rewards of a pint of Green Ale, public drunkenness, and a legend mark.
Much appreciated
A big thanks goes to NA alumni Vini for his thorough coverage of these annual events in the past.
