NOTICE BOARD

MIRTH

► It can get dreary around the city sometimes, but the Clown Association is always available to bring cheer! They're currently looking for volunteers to dress up in traditional clown attire and assist their cause.
The clown suit and makeup will be provided, by volunteers can bring their own. Volunteers will be compensated with 30 coins and the smiles of everyone whose day they brighten.

Additional info: The Clown Association is just one person with a passion for cheer and slapstick comedy. Anyone who steps up to the task can choose from a variety of props: flowers that squirt water, balloons (regular and animal), cream pies, etc.
quest submitted by midway, please contact them if you have questions!

► Esmeralda sells crystals that generate heat, which are popular trinkets to purchase in the colder months. But before she can sell them, they need to be imbued with warmth. The crystals can only be charged when held between the palms of two different people, and she'll pay 10 coins per crystal to anyone willing to help. She'll also let you keep one crystal of your choosing.

Additional info: The only way to charge the crystals to Esmeralda's specifications is by holding hands with another person with the crystal placed between your palms. Be warned! Some of the crystals are finnicky, and will not allow you to let go until they have been sufficiently charged.

THE HARBORS

► Restless are invited to pay their final respect (lol) to the members of the Hierarchy who were recently murdered. Some place small gifts on the funeral rafts, and archers successfully set them on fire as they're pushed onto the Tempest. Somber music is playing, and oddly enough, there's not one Ferryman in sight.

Additional info: Once the bodies are embraced by the flames (to prevent them from potentially turning into Spectres), they stir, rise, and howl unhinged nonsense. Blueish apparitions escape from their mouths, corpses falling back onto the raft and rolling into the Tempest. If you ever wondered what a ghost might look like in the Netherworld, wonder no more, the first ones to ever be unequivocally witnessed! It is mostly believed that Restless who perish in the Netherworld ultimately join Oblivium's forces (very few believe otherwise), though in this particular case, their souls remain as angry spirits, which means everything you're probably thinking of: poltergeist, hauntings, possessions, etc.

RADIANCE

► Aneth is a renown painter in Stygia, and she's currently looking for art models. Nude ones, that is.

Additional info: If you don't mind lying or sitting naked for hours on end, you'll be rewarded 100 coins, a set of brushes, paint, and a copy of the final painting.

THE BARRENS

► The smell of death and decay that plagues a portion of the Barrens might have already tipped you off. A long barrow there displays disturbing signs of activity; trees made of bone, unintelligible whispers, distant shrieks, etc. Visit Zevra at your earliest convenience if you can help. You will find her tending to the small shrine nearby.

Additional info: Zevra explains that at first, small buds of bone broke through the earth, which later grew to the size of trees. Some Restless claim that during full moons, they can hear chants and screaming from the long barrow’s direction. You'll probably notice will-o'-wisps dancing between the morbid bone branches, and they'll attack if you get any closer than 30 feet.

The entrance to the barrow is a thick stone slab -- you can hear wailing from the other side. Using digging implements like pickaxes, you'll need approximately one hour to break through, and you'll be immediately welcomed by a swarm of bats. In the center, you'll find another circular stone slab, embedded into the ground. It's covered in glowing runes, visibly enchanted, a seal of sorts. Below, a Banshee has been carving away at the seals for a long time, now nearing her impending release.

1. If you break the runes and release her, she'll immediately attack. You can either run away or defeat her. If her claws scrape your skin, the wound will gradually expand and decay, giving you an undead appearance. It can be healed by applying mistletoe leaves to the original injury, though you won't be able to find any until December's event! Note that her wails are also terrifying, and might temporarily paralyze you.

2. If your magical abilities allow, you can also choose to reinforce the seals, and delay her release for a few more months. In both cases, you'll be rewarded 200 coins.
