The Great History Race... TWO!

Oops! Looks like the Lorekeeper has fallen asleep for a little while... she's lost track of everything that happened in the cave for the past few months years! She needs some help recollecting information so that new Gembounds can have a comprehensive understanding of what has transpired within the cave since the Awakening. Can you help her out?

What she's looking for:
Please post with links to threads containing events that are crucial to Origin's history. These should be:

- Quest relevant threads
- Group relevant threads (formations, meetings, leadership changes, events)
- Deaths
- Important events affecting a large number of Gembound
She's only looking for events that occurred from:
December 2016 - December 2017
April 2019 - Present

When you post, please use the following form:

Thread Name & Link: link us to the thread!
Date: the date the thread was made
Month & Year: the month and year this thread occurred
Brief Summary: give us a brief summary of the thread's events!

Code:

<b>Thread Name & Link:</b>
<b>Date:</b>
<b>Month & Year:</b>
<b>Brief Summary:</b>

But of course, Lorekeeper wouldn't send you out without promise of a reward! She's willing to give ʡ500 Magicka to whoever can bring her the most stories (ie. threads!), and ʡ200 and ʡ100 to those that can deliver the second and third most stories. Remember, only those added to the Site History portion of the Guidebook will be counted, so be wary of repeats and be sure you only add threads which you think are important to Origin Cave's history!

(*If you are entering, you may not use Silverwinter's doc, as those are her own submissions and I've excluded the dates she covers from December 2017 - April 2019 and will be sending her ʡ500 for her efforts!)

The deadline for this contest is August 24th.

in short, you should not have given me permission to use the part of my brain that is completely dedicated to remembering origin history and threads
