Straight from: AoH List Mailing List

For those of you not paying attention, a quick run down of the loooong time since I've updated the news. The Fae have escaped imprisonment, but don't seem to hold much malice towards the Athenians now, Drakontas is up to something but no one is quite sure what. Still, Piraeus now has a new park and a 'palace' that is actually a fancy hotel in terms of town improvement under the warlord's control. There is also some new visions from the scrying bowl available in Other Visions.
There is now gold panning out, which you can check out more in game news, as well as the FLIRT verb. The mentors did a lovely job on their Cupid's day party and quite a visits were paid by both fae and undead alike. The undead being the Vrykolakas (greek vampires) who made themselves known at the Halloween masquerade party in Fall. Basilikos, Vinnee, and Lenore are the vrykolakas in question and seem to hail from the isle of Thera, though it's not quite certain what they are up to as of yet.
The orb is still in a stand at Athena's temple, one orb is still and with an unknown person, and Autolycus has the orb that works the best. It's unclear how this will progress, but and what harm may come out of them being around.
Grigoros is also active again, though he is almost completely diminished in power and Ziminos has taken full control. There's some more information on that situation at Events, where you can at least read the The Library of Grigoros to get some background on that character. Dissonos is rumored to be returning to town, an event which Ziminos seems to be looking forward to, and has claimed that Dissonos will be the one to 'wake' Ziminos when he returns. Oikistes, Dissonos's partner and previous owner of Sid's bar while Sid was in jail, has also been seen around and seems concerned over his friend's involvement with Grigoros.
Just tonight, Loki himself made an appearance at the gate and briefly discussed the Grigoros situation with the Athenians. Still, he says hewon't act or discuss it further until some of the prophecies have come true. I am going to make an attempt to compile the ramblings and prophecies on the wiki to try to make it easier for everyone to follow along in the event - I would appreciate it if anyone would e-mail me ones they might have from the past because I missed some. I encourage
everyone not to feel overwhelmed with the amount of information, as even people who have been here since Grigoros first showed up are still lost in the cryptic ramblings, me included. ;) Just jump in with both feet and I'll be trying to keep this list more active from now on.
Also, the Premium meeting and raffle is set for Thursday the 28th for those who haven't checked their GAZETTE.

Well the end of the story has come... or has it? Some people are sad, angry, or just in mourning. The Fae showed up tonight at the scheduled time waiting for the moon of Midsummer Nights Eve to rise before their celebration!
After some idle talk and playful banter, the Fae disappeared and soon after those lucky enough to be chosen by them followed. The people chosen were: Callias who was chosen by Isalinda, Moiria who was chosen by Fostismeras, Vatholian who was chosen by Faileas, Lytaria who was chosen by Fallowthought and yours truly Quinlax who was chosen by Clovius!
Those who were brought with the Fae were treated to a glorious party, with food and drink, and merriment all around. That is until the other Athenians arrived in the realm of the Fae to 'save' the people who were taken.
The saviors however had to break through 6 barriers, each controlled by a particular Fae. The first Entry Barrier held by Isalinda was quickly bypassed, and Isalinda herself suffered severe pain when thebarrier was broken.
The next entry barrier took more time to solve, and was controlled by Fostismeras himself. When his barrier was broken, he also suffered, however he seemed to quickly recover from it.
The third barrier was held by a Fae whos name I won't even begin to try and spell. He was however absent from tonights affair and is unknown how he was affected.
The fourth barrier was held by the youngest Fae, Faileas. It was as far as I understand it, a dance off. Which... she herself solved oddly enough. The effect wasn't as harsh on her, as he barrier was supplemented by magic of the realm itself due to her own powers not fully developed.
The next barrier was controlled by Clovius. And was music based. It took the saviours quite awhile to figure the barrier puzzle out, but once they did, the solved it quickly. While the barrier was being broken, Clovius wretched in pain several times.
The final obstacle was the barrier of trees held by Fallowthought, his trees danced their confusing dancing but soon the Athenians made their way through, finally breaking through all the barriers and arriving in the center with the rest the Athenians and the Fae.
However their the saviors work was not yet done, the their barriers broken, their magic drained the Fae were slowly dying. So as a final act to save them, Kide opened a book created by Fostismeras that sucked the weakened Fae into it's pages, where they are trapped, but kept safe. Finally Fostismeras, in his golden serpent form wrapped himself around the book sealing it with a final barrier before becoming trapped himself.
Afterwards the book was opened, and each page contained a picture of the Fae it contained. But there was no revelry from the Athenians, as they realized what they had done. And with the magic of the Fae gone, their lands slowly withered away, and the Athenians had to make their final escape.

And to start things off is information about our lovely friends the Fae. Tonight marks the night of Midsummer Night's Eve(Saturday June 23rd), and during this Summer Solstice, the Fae will finally be taking their companions. This means that the inevitable fight between us and them will be coming soon.
Fostismeras has informed us that unless we're all willing to sacrifice ourselves to their will, the only way to stop them is to enter their realm and destroy them entirely. How exactly we do that we're unsure of, but he warned us if we come with any mercy in our hearts, we will fail as they will show us none. Not much else is known exactly what we will face but the time for the event to happen has been set for around 7:30-8pm Saturday June 23rd, 2007 EST time.
Be there or suffer the end of Athens as we know it!
