We're off to Shadowglen now, a land full of secrets and mysteries. Who knows what kind of horrors lurk in the primordial forest there! Or, for that matter, the ocean! I heard that a whole civilization sank into the sea a thousand years ago - I bet there are a ton of restless, vengeful spirits down there! Maybe the boat will be attacked by ghosts, or turned into a ghost ship. Maybe we've been a ghost ship this whole time! Ooh, spooky!
We'll be passing by the Omen Islands on our way but won't be stopping for obvious reasons. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the area out of a porthole as we pass through the edges of the Uncharted Sea.

Hello, passengers. This is Captain Dinghy speaking to you from the bridge. We are expecting some inclement weather as we pass by the Omen Islands, so we ask that all passengers please remain inside. The outer decks will be closed until further notice. In lieu of outdoor activities, please allow our stewards to direct you to our indoor entertainment.

Hello again, passengers. This is your captain speaking to you from the bridge. In addition to the worsening weather, we have encountered some aggressive sea life. I would like to stress that the ship has not suffered any ill-effects, but be aware that both the ballrooms and indoor swimming pools have been closed down until further notice. Passengers are reminded to use handrails when in the halls or stairways in order to avoid injury to them self or others. We apologize to all passengers and hope to pass through this localized storm quickly.

In light of this, a handful of the older opponents will be taken down temporarily so they can be updated. Sorry for the inconvenience!

"This is a pre-recorded emergency message. All passengers are asked to gather at their nearest muster station. Primary exits toward muster stations are marked with a blue arrow. Please proceed in a calm and orderly fashion in the direction of these arrows. Crew members will assist you further at each of the muster stations."
DAY 10
6:50PM
Recently left the Sacred Lands, en route to Shadowglen via Omen Islands. (Question the wisdom of this charted course, but distance from the islands makes local intervention unlikely.) Inclement weather and turbulence has caused several of the ship's amenities to be closed.
7:50PM
I am confident in saying that the ship is definitely under attack from some force and must concede that this is likely the doing of the sea witch.
10:05PM
We have cut the engines, activated our emergency beacon, and will soon be gathering passengers at the muster points, though I do wonder how effective evacuation by life raft will be in this particular circumstance.
10:25PM
More shadows have gathered in the water, and the ship has been struck several times by all manner of monstrous beasts. It seems clear to me that evacuation is not a safe option for passengers at this time. The MS Oracle has received our distress call and been dispatched from port in the Darkside, though it is many hours away. A few passengers with battle experience have chosen to take matters into their own hands, and while myself and the crew have actively discouraged them, I cannot help but admire their bravery against these horrors. Those with combat experience have been permitted to purchase weapons available on the ship in limited supply; the cost is high to ensure only those with proper training and motivation are wielding dangerous weapons on deck. I certainly hope we get through this to see the income put to good use -- we'll be needing repairs. (Suddenly all those jokes about icebergs and capsizing are not as funny.)
Shinwa save us all.

Day 11
Still at a full stop. We continue to be attacked by horrors from the deep. Though we are a passenger vessel, we are lucky to have passengers on board with good battle training and experience. They have managed to hold off the first four assaults, though new eldritch abominations now approach and each is more powerful looking than the last. The MS Oracle has kept in constant contact, but she is still many hours out.
Rejoice in Shinwa, mother to us all.
Grant us protection and mercy,
and lead us to the light from darkness.

There are new hookahs available at Cavern of Curios.
Note: The shapely hookahs have moved from Home Appliances to Cavern of Curios.

Southern armada has received a distress call from the SS Ambassador, a passenger ship on a tour of Subeta. It seems that they have come under threat while passing the Omen Islands on their tour, though I question the wisdom of plotting such a route in the first place.
I have dispatched my own war ship for this aid mission, the MS Oracle, and have chosen to leave Captain Vasilic of the MS Fortune in charge of the Darkside blockade until my return. There has been no movement from Maleria in some time, and so I do not anticipate any trouble in this regard.
Traveling at 38kn and hope to intercept the Ambassador within the hour. Weather is worsening as we approach the islands, however I do not anticipate that we will need to reduce speed.

We have resumed course and will be escorted by the MS Oracle to our next port in Shadowglen where we will complete some repairs.
So... All of that sinking stuff seems like it was in pretty poor taste, now. For those of you that are superstitious, I apologize for bringing down some kind of curse or jinx on us. For those of you that appreciate good comedy, I apologize for making all those crappy movie jokes.
Like I said before, our next port is Shadowglen, and I am sure that we won't turn into a ghost ship, for what it is worth. There are some safety concerns in Shadowglen due to the, uh, "residents" of the area, but we have been assured that there are special procedures in place to prevent any mishaps. Your guide is already on board and waiting.
Everyone please have a happy and safe visit to Shadowglen.

The Graveyard Shop has closed its doors, but dont worry! Quentin has bought its entire stock and will start giving it out for completing quests!
Also, Quentin now has a few special items that are only given out during special quest weekends!

Try your luck at Quentin's quests for these new items.

Haters gonna hate, I guess. Anyway, my team has been working around the clock to clean up the cave in, and we have uncovered a lot of new and interesting things in the process. We're looking for help in charting these new rooms, so come pay me a visit if you are looking for some work.
Admin Note: For the duration of the event, you will need to have completed at least up to the Sacred Lands portion in order to access the Crypts.

Well, we won\'t have to worry about rain at our next destination, which is the Darkside. The only thing that it will rain there is ash. That sounds like a joke, but I am serious. Actually, while we\'re at it, I should remind everyone to go over their extreme event handbooks, especially the chapters about what to do in the event of unexpected volcanic activity.
Better to be safe than sorry, as the phrase goes.

In an effort to make an impression on all the extra traffic at Darkside, Euclid has made some tweaks to his Zapper v.2. As a result, some of the experimental pets are looking a bit different!

Are you lucky enough to grab one of these new items from the Blackheart Hollow? You might be, because the odds of finding an item has been increased while the cruise is stopped in Darkside!

There are six new items stocking at the Blackheart Hollow. Remember that the odds of finding an item has been increased while the cruise is stopped in Darkside!

The combinations of the newest Genetech Lab items are a bit harder to make. Can you figure them out?

You'd better watch out for this new experiment from Euclid's Pet Zapper v2. Don't get bitten!

Euclid sure has been busy lately, hasn\'t he? Zapping your pet could turn it into one of these two new experiments!

We're now heading to Riverside, a nature-lovers dream, and home to Peka Glade National Park. Do you think it is safe to go back to sinking jokes? I don't want to push our luck, here, though I don't think there is anything near Riverside that could sink us, even if we wanted it. Errant monster tutani attack? A massive experiment #3458 that will pull us down like a kraken? Bloodthirsty swampie?
Seems plausible.

Veta is well known for its picturesque lakes and romantic inns, but did you know that Veta is also home to a wide variety of industries? It will be a wonderful stop for those who are interested in sustainable farming, home-brewing, or hand-made instruments of all kinds. If none of those things interest you, I think someone wrote a really popular book that is set here, and they do some kind of tour... Or maybe they stopped doing that last year? I guess we will find out.
So, no sea monster. We could hope for a lake monster, but that only really affects passengers, not the ship as a whole. I think we're pretty out of luck in terms of ship-wide disasters, but if you plan to go for a swim, watch out for giant crocodiles, prehistoric monsters, fresh water sharks, or whatever else.

Unfortunately though, somewhere out there we picked up a rodent problem of our own. One of our chefs has been taking some culinary advice from a rat (which explains the chicken pot pie burger and the rest of Darkside's menu...), and while that might sound like a cute plot for an animated feature film, this is real life. That sort of thing isn't sanitary, and we need to clean up our kitchen before we can drop anchor anywhere near the pristine capital city. I'm not sure what that chef's been feeding this rodent, but its size is unusually large and we have no exterminators on board. If we can get help from everyone, hopefully we can get clearance from those NINHies on Monday. If you'd like to help out, report to the Tour Club!

Many of you have probably visited Centropolis before, but I am sure your tour guide can help you to see Subeta\'s iconic city with new eyes. Maybe he can use his connections to get you into a cool millionaire club or something where they serve ice cream with gold leaf flakes or truffles-that-aren\'t-chocolate and other stupid things. If you do manage to get into a place like that, you will have to tell me what gold leaf tastes like, because I kind of imagine that it would ruin a perfectly good sundae.
Anyway, don\'t let me keep you! Have an exciting trip to our final port of call.

After many requests from Subeta users and deliberation amongst staff, the rules and regulations for the Pet Spotlight have been updated! Make sure you visit the Pet Spotlight Page to go over all the new rules and make sure your pets are ready to be nominated.
In anticipation of the new rules, the entire Pet Spotlight nomation queue (with the exception of those pets already accepted to win) has been cleared.
Head over to the new Pet Spotlight sticky in the pet forums with any questions or comments you may have. We hope you enjoy the new and improved pet spotlight!

Designer Rainyday is back with a brand new Subeautique line! I have a feeling the recent cruise really inspired this line. ;)

While you were touring Centropolis, our stewards collected your belongings for you and made sure they were safely stowed away on the shuttles that are waiting to take you to your home. Feel free to take one last look around (and say goodbye!) the ship before we leave port.
Have a safe trip home, and thank you for choosing the Phoenix Fleet. It has been my pleasure to be your captain.

A single footprint in the sand can represent so much. The first step towards breaking boundaries, towards new discoveries, towards accomplishing the impossible. But it all starts with being brave enough to take that one small step. Charity is giving away a new free gift that might inspire you to take yours.
