Anniversary Event
Year 2019
Date From January 18
Date To January 21
Main Organisers Tanthas

The 24th Anniversary was a celebration written and orchestrated by the builder Tanthas. The overarching story was that Dentin's attention had been wandered away from the world he had created and the priests of Dentin were worried. It started by players portiing to the offices of ZagDahl where they were given special permission to enter the sealed catacombs of the unholy temple of Dentin to find out what had been going on. The event then proceeded to unfold revealing a highly original storyline drawing inspiration from a quasi-history of the mud, dentin’s real life and past interactions on chat channels.

Timeline

The event was released in three parts:-

  • Friday 18 - event opensd and first part
  • Saturday 19 - second part
  • Sunday 20 - third and final part
  • Monday 21 AM - event closed

The Office of ZagDahl, high priest of Dentin

Deeper in the mind of Dentin

The museum of player nostalgia

The Museum of Player Nostalgia was reopened to give newer players a taste of the game's past.

Quests

Figured out where Dentin's attention was in 2019

Raided the treasuries of the unholy temple of Dentin and retrieved . . . . something!

Gathered Dentin memrobelia to build the necessary device in 2019

Players entered Dentins's mind to recover four artifacts. There was a sub-quest for each item.

Junked a junk dealer to gain death metal

a piece of death meta was found in a junk shop it represents that in real life dentin is a fan of death metal music.


Gave the mad hair dresser a dressing down to gain Dentin's holy hair tie

the holy hair tie of Dentin was found inside the salon.

Belted the master Wu Hu

The black martial arts belt was found inside the Dojo.

Recovered a guitar for bass reasons

The base guitar was found on dence floor inside Sexy Sadie's.

Brought Dentin's attention back to Alter Aeon in 2019

ZagDahl looks up as you speak to him.
ZagDahl says, 'We have figured out how to get Dentin's attention, but we need someone to project themselves into Dentin's mind again to use it.'
ZagDahl reaches down beside his chair and lifts an odd cylindrical contraption with a mithril bar sticking out of it attached to a darkwood handle.
ZagDahl says, 'This is a quantum prayer wheel.  It will use Dentin's own mental constructs to gain his attention.  It is very delicate, so be careful with it.'
ZagDahl says, 'If you lose it, you must give me 100 gold to purchase a new one.'
ZagDahl says, 'This place is full of points of light.  Simply use the wheel on any point of light you find.  When you find the correct one the wheel will flash brightly.'
ZagDahl says, 'Some of the mages of the Mage Guild have argued, somewhat unconvincingly, that the points of light might be stars or groups of stars.  If that is correct, then you might have to find the right star or cluster  of stars to use the wheel on.  We think that if it is a case such as this, then you must find a very large bright group of stars.'
ZagDahl says, 'Dentin's blessing go with you.  This place seems much more strange and alien than the last place you went.  I hope that you survive it as easily.'
ZagDahl silently hands over the quantum prayer wheel.  It is heavier than it looks.
ZagDahl holds his hands up in benediction, then shoos you on your merry way.
Recall, event join 163, and look for the proper point of light to use the quantum prayer wheel on.
