at last proper respect is given, please kuku follow this fellows example unless you truly hate salem.
so few salemites remember the great cataclysm that created the world of providence in the first place.
for the unknowing it began when an abominable heretic named claeyt began to spread deceit, dishonor and all things "communist" into the world of jamestown through his stream prophet daopa. this disease spread through jamestown and eventually weakened the once noble, independent and warlike denizens of jamestown. gone were the honorable 1v1s of old, the carebears who could still kick your ass, the open challenges of combat or the localized conflicts of one evenly matched town vs another. in its place were...... zergs, liars and ***** similar to providence today. one day the mighty darwoth was surveying his lands and stumbled upon daopa who insulted the great darwoth with greetings from claeyt, and while his ears had been stung many times before with little consequence this minor affront was the last straw.
thus the world was destroyed along with everyone in it, as were the two lesser worlds of roanoke and plymouth. and in the new server a statue of the great darwoth and his lesser but more benevolent aspects were erected in the town graveyard to be both feared and worshipped. that is why to this day dropping a certain number of bloodshards + other items and uttering a secret phrase at the darwoth statue creates a bloodmoon, just as crops do at the khaz statue to create a summer and musketeer hats at the binks statue for winter.
likewise it is why there are now four known diseases officially associated with claegue in game.
unfortunately it appears that as the old tales/lore of salem are fogotten that the claegue infection is on the rise once again, do not force me to slay all of salem to cure it again kuku!
