Whispers from the Crypt – A Project 1999 Event

[DesterWindall]

Across Norrath, the graveyards stir. Whispers rise on the autumn winds — names long forgotten, grief never laid to rest. The voices are not of the dead, but of one who mourns them still.

The Mourner calls.

Once a priest, now something far darker, he believes grief is memory, and memory must never fade. His design is terrible in its simplicity: to bind all sorrow into one vessel, a mortal who will carry the grief of all Norrath. Through this vessel, the veil between life and death will shatter.
But not all see this as salvation. To some, it is a curse beyond imagining — a world drowned in endless mourning, where no loss ever heals and no joy survives.
Two factions rise:

• The Hand of Decay, who embrace the Mourner’s vision. To them, suffering proves love, and memory eternal is worth any cost.
  
• The Order of Stillness, who resist with equal fervor. To them, silence is mercy, and forgetting is the only true release.

The season of shadows has returned. Will grief endure, eternal and unbroken? Or will silence fall, final and absolute?
The choice, and the burden, belong to you.

Happy Season of Spooks and Frights, Norrathians!
“Whispers from the Crypt” is a P99 special event for this Halloween season! This event features multiple components through November 12th, sure to put a little extra spook in your step, including:

• Corrupted Body Parts have been unearthed by The Mourner and his minions, and will begin dropping from non-trivial kills across Norrath. These body parts can be turned into Emissaries of the Mourner, representing the Hand of Decay, or Penitent Cryptkeepers, representing the Order of Stillness. Either of these factions are sure to appreciate your support, as they hope to either embrace the Mourner’s suffering or let the dead finally rest.
  
• Characters who turn in at least 10 Corrupted Body Parts to one of the sides will be entered into a raffle at the end of the event for a temporary title on the character! However, be sure to pick a side and stick with it! For every turn-in completed for the opposite faction counts against your total.
  
• Two phases of the event, complete with a unique quest per phase. As the Mourner’s power grows and he gets more desperate later in the event, you may even see unique undead monsters brought to life across Norrath.
  
• On both the Blue and Green servers, the event will include a PvPvE showdown, where the Hand of Decay and Order of Stillness will face off, once and for all!

Prepare yourself, for the battle to let the dead rest is upon us, and only you can help determine the fate of Norrath!
