Duvernith walked into his office inside the Mercantylers' Guild and found an envelope sitting on his desk. It was sealed with unadorned wax and only had his name on the front, written in a handwriting he had seen once before. He broken the wax with his thumb and pulled the letter out that was folded inside:
Master Duvernith,
It is always a pleasure to find someone who does not disappoint and lives up to their reputation. You have done then and then some. Someone who can get a job done, regardless of the circumstances that crop up to it. Someone who faced severe adversity and did not back down. Someone who can understand the long view about the work they do. I wonder if those who currently employ you understand the asset they have on their hands. Should you ever grow weary of your current circumstances, know that other opportunities will avail themselves.
While you may have viewed your recent endeavor as a failure, you should know that it was not. Two unsavory, untrustworthy individuals, the kind who would turn upon their own to advance themselves and not care who was hurt in the process, have been given their just due. Additionally, your efforts to see the 5001 Vornavian Red located were not for naught. While it did not end up in your hands, it did end up in where it belonged in the end. Perhaps one day you can enjoy a glass of it yourself.
Regardless of your feeling, remember these words and they may prove advantageous in the future. Until then continue to not disappoint.
Be Seeing You.
The letter was left unsigned and without any flourish. Duvernith placed it down on his desk, and just looked at it for several moments in thought. Stepping back outside his office, he asked those around if anyone had seen someone in his office but none had. Returning to his office Duvernith took the letter back up to examine it another time. As he looked over the parchment, he found it completely blank, all traces of the words were gone.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the storyline, Shanked, to help release the new hunting area the Forgotten Vineyard. The post preceding this marks the final coda for this mini storyline. I hope you all enjoyed it, whether you were there for the entire thing or only parts of it.
For those trying out the Vineyard I hope you find it interesting and challenging. If you have tried it and out have feedback about the mechanical aspects, please consider the discussion thread on Discord for it: https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/977766189570854972. For other discussion about it, here or the Solhaven channel also work.

I am not on the Discord server.
I literally did not know about this storyline/event/release until someone, elsewhere, commented about "the new Solhaven hunting area."
Is it official now that staff has chosen Discord as the place to share game information and awareness of current events?

Two of the three events that made up this mini storyline were posted on the calendar in advance. All the happenings in game came with notice and communication, especially in regards to setting the stage for what was the release event itself last Saturday. So while there was not mention on the forum for these things, it was mentioned in places other than Discord. Something could have been said on the forums, and that is on me for not doing so. It should also be noted that this release event was done as a surprise, with the premise being about something else to help conceal the real intent which was to release the Forgotten Vineyard. Some may have suspected, especially on the release night when exploring the new area, but it was not until afterwards that it became clear when the announcement was made of it being such. This was by design to help give players a surprise for once when it came to a hunting area release.
As for the rest, statements have been made from the top concerning the forums. As it stands right now there is a lot of information to be had on Discord, even if you are only using it to see the announcements made in the announcement only channels.

Adding to what Mister Lydil said,
The TownCrier tries very hard to keep up with all these details for people who cannot keep up with the Forums or Discord in the time they have to GemStone.
You don't even have to tune to LNet or ESP ... fresh headlines of the day can arrive in your email inbox every day if you subscribe to them. Including his events for this story and the summaries of them after the fact.

I see the events on the calendar now. I find my use of the calendar is once a week or once every two weeks, so that's on me. Since leaving Discord I've been utilizing the forums and wiki to stay informed (not that I wasn't already on top of them prior) and it's definitely been a lot harder.
I'm not an unreasonable person.. if Discord is the direction staff wants to go, then that means it's on me to utilize it or not.
