Shadowspark Institute

(( I debated whether or not to post this, but being in a guild management position, I figured it was the easiest way to make things known.  I'm sticking the pertinent stuff above the break, feel free to skip the rest to avoid my ranting and QQing.

Roseate Relic Recovery will continue to exist as a guild, as Cheridy has generously offered to wear the guild leader hat.  Mary Jinkwicket is still Co-Administratrix, but will not appear in-game for the foreseeable future.  Assume she's spending a lot of time in the shop, handling paperwork and being her usual self.  Shadowspark Institute still exists and operates under RRR's auspices.

Commonwealth has been struggling on life support and will likely just fade away.  If the tiny handful of folks remaining want to find another guild, no hard feelings.  Lisa Graviton will also continue to exist off camera and in the background.

The same applies to my remaining characters Diana, Lulu, Mag, Maggie, Rabbly, Saphrona, Termina and Veronica.  Nobody will be ICly disappearing or dying ... well, except for Lineah, but she's already thoroughly dead.

(( OOC Note: The format of this blog is a bit odd compared to my usual stuff, and it might not make much sense to anyone unfamiliar with the characters, so please accept my apologies in advance for that.  Rabbly is by far my oldest character, and sometimes I get questions from other grizzled server vets asking what she and her wife are up to these days ... so, I thought a basic "here's where they are right now" sort of post might be helpful. 

Incidentally, the blurb about Deathwing and Surwich actually happened during our RP.  It was far and away the most perfectly-timed coincidence I've experienced in six years of playing this game. ))

Are you a gnome who wields the power of fel, shadow or necromantic magic?

Perhaps you're an experienced practitioner of the dark arts looking to talk shop and exchange knowledge with fellow Exiles.  Perhaps you're a novice seeking training in the spirit of the great Gnomeregan schools, untainted by the lesser methods of other races.  Perhaps you fall somewhere between those two extremes.  Regardless of skill level, Shadowspark Institute aims to quietly and efficiently nurture the talents of any gnome who commands energies forbidden and frowned upon.
