We are days away from Epic Week 2023, our 13th birthday! This year, our Epic Week adventure has a special sponsor, and she wants you to know early where we'll be embarking on Monday.

Panel 1
A struthian man with the typical feathers in place of hair, and wing feathers coming from his arms. He is walking down a cobblestone alley, carrying a bindle over his shoulder, looking a little dejected.
Unseen narrator: You’ve seen them, here and there… the Struth.
Panel 2
A family of Struth people walking over the water on the rainbow bridge. There are two mothers, and one child. One of the mothers holds the hand of the chick, while the other waves at someone not visible in the panel as if glad to see them.
Unseen narrator: Once there were many more Struth. You’d see us start to arrive as the spring thaw set in, leading our new hatchlings over the rainbow bridge to the mainland.
Panel 3
View of a tropical island with sandy white beaches and lots of reddish cliffs.
Unseen narrator: Back then, we were migrating from paradise, the Struthian isle. That was our true home. It was the place our eggs were laid and hatched.
Panel 4
A nest of eggs with a very scary looking lizard looming over it, mouth open, teeth glistening. A lightning strike in the background emphasizes the scary atmosphere.
Unseen narrator: Then the lizards came.
Panel 5
Bird feet walking on a dusty plain.
Unseen narrator: It’s been a century since a Struthian has set foot on the isle. A century since our hatchlings could thrive. We migrate endlessly, with nowhere to go.
Panel 6
We see Moa with a grim smile in the foreground, gesturing back to her army of walruses. Some wear chainmail or helmets. Some are in their mech suits. One is being ridden by Sylviornis the Struth warrior, and another by Apteribis, the Struth sage.
Narrator, now revealed to be Moa, top left corner: But this is the year that will end.
Moa, bottom right corner: This is the year I have finally raised the funds to equip an army.

Epic Week is our annual birthday bash! It kicks off in the morning of April 24th, the same day that the site first opened its doors to the public. This year, April 24th falls on a Monday! It then continues 7-9 days, depending on how fast the community moves through the challenges.
Epic Week is a week of contests, prizes and new releases. But the main draw is the site-wide plot with multiple ways that players can become involved. The plot changes every year, but the entire community advances through it as a group. For example, there are no individual "levels" - the entire site "levels up" at the same time through group achievements.Make sure you mark your calendar and join in the fun!
This is an OOC event -- you won't need to prepare any character profiles to participate in it!
