Artisans, who can’t stand their profession anymore, can soon chose a new one. The Divinities are sending Career Counsellors to Norrath. After the next Divine Alterarion [GU36] those new inhabitans - like Amy, who will be working in Kelethin - will advise artisans about new professions. Those must be learned by the very first - and the old profession will be unlearned.
A magical money exchance machine will be sent to Norrath by the divinities. From the next divine alteration [GU36] on, annoying accumulations of copper should be changed into silver and gold automatically. Overloads because of too much money will finally be history for Norrath’s inhabitants.
They also bring their accessoires with them: When the residents of Neriak open their city for and Norrathians, they also offer their neverseen house items. Kamimura made it through the Underworld [Test Server] to Neriak and brought some of those home: A scary Altar in form of a candle and a huge mushroom. The Altar, tells Kamimura, is from a adventure called “City of Hate and Suspicion of the Dead”, given by Lararra V’Zaar in the Spires of Innoruuk. “She sends you to speak with someone in the castle, and from there you can either choose to be swayed by her words to the Queen, or go back and report to Lararra for Innoruuk”, the emigrant knows. Both ways will get the adventurer the same house item - or, in both cases a choice of a held item. The mushroom he got from an Arasai near the entrance to Neriak. He gave it to him as a welcome present.

Welcome to the movies! Today is premiere-day - our new movie theater is celebrating it’s opening! Get a ticket, sit down and have a look at what we found for you: The first movie about the original home of the Darkelves - Neriak. Producer Shax, Ratonga of Parallelworld Nagafen, made it to smuggle his gnomish machine called camera through the underworld [Test Server] into the unknown city. Accompanied with action-packed music the movie gives a great first few into the dark city and their residents. Lean back and enjoy.
Right besides Queen Cristanos Thexes overwhelming castle in Neriak are placed two extravagant houses. Nobody’s living there, yet, until evil Norrath residents from all over the planet will move in those little palaces. Ogres, Trolls, Darkelves, Arasai - there are no limits for building a new home in Neriak. If the dark city will be a better home that Freeport or even Qeynos will be shown in the future. But for sure, no houses in all of Norrath are as luxurious as the ones in Neriak.
Dark Elves of Norrath, you have a reason for being nervous and excited. You beloved hometown Neriak was rediscovered by Lucan d’Lere. He is building tunnels from the Commonlands and Nektulos Forest to the unknown Darklight Woods - Woods which will lead you directly to Neriak. It’s a sensation that our reporters made it through that tunnel before it even got opened. We managed to find a way through the underworld [Test server], took our cameras with us and present you amazing pictures of an even more amazing City.
Neriak is a world full of splendor, pomp and welth, full of darkness and still amazing and neverseen colors. We are still stunned after our first walk through that city - and we want you to see what our eyes saw. Take a first tour through Neriak, which will be opened for all Norrath residents with the next “Change of the Divinities” [GU 35] - here in this special issue of the Norrath News. We promise you more impressions in the following days - just take as many newspapers with you as you can take.
We made the unbelievable: Some of our Reporters managed to travel through the underworld Unterwelt [Test Server] into the not yet opened Neriak - and filled our Cameras with dozens of pictures directly from the City of the Darkelves. And we promise you: This city is more beautifil than we could have ever imagined.
Who we also met at our tour through Neriak were the Arasai, a mischievous Race of Faes. We will open our coverage about Neriak with pictures of those dark beauties - stunning pictures from the Woods and the city itself will follow in the next days. Enjoy!
Dark elves are his friends, visitors are his enemies: Lord Mistmoore is doing everything to keep his Castle in the Loping Plains free from intruders. And there seems to be something in his eyes - some unfullfilled longing. Might the dark Lord dream of his beloved Princess Thex of Felwithe?

Dear Readers,
two years ago we had an idea: A Newspaper for Norrath. The first one ever. We started to write articles, reviews, reportages, commentaries. We took more pictures than our archive could ever save. We had stressful times full of work, we had great times, we organized parties, we invented a Miss Norrath beauty pageant. In German.
Today Norrath News is going international. We want all of you to have a newspaper released in Norrath. And here we are - with a little different concept: From today on all of you will be able to write articles in this virtual newspaper. Whatever your character is experiencing or your guild is fighting for - post it here for all residents of Norrath. Whenever you come across some official or not official news - write them down. We will have an eye on what you are writing about and review your pictures and posts - and we can’t wait to read articles about all those events happening in Norrath’s international parallelworlds.
