'The Pale Tree' Lore Hi everyone,
I made a new sylvari the other day and came across an NPC by the name of 'Ventari'. He didn't look important, but I looked him up and oh boy was I in for a lore treat. I found him in front of me after creating my character talking to 3 dreamers who are interested in his wisdom...
Dat run doe To start off, I couldn't help but think about all the running our characters do in game. How many miles do we actually run in game? 8| I took a 4.63 mile trek down to the ocean. I wasn't overly exerted, but damn, if I had to be a video game character and run everywhere I'd be pissed D': Here's to our meticulously coded friends in game *Cheers*
Aoibheann's Assault This event is on for tomorrow, Friday March 6th. Please bear with me as I get used to my new surroundings, I have everything set up, but I may need to tweak a few things as we go along.

Adventures in moving Greetings my wonderful guild mates,
I can't tell you how much you all have been missed this LONG weekend as I packed out of Phoenix to move across the country to Chattanooga.

Event / personal updates There are many changes coming for me in the next few months, first thing is that my surgery/surgeries on my back have had to be postponed.

Great Dungeon runs You know what I love about GSCH? Well, many things, but today I was just in the mood for some dungeon runs. In the early afternoon, I put out word to the community and soon we were able to run two different dungeons...
Not even VET yet, a short story Sigh, I spend too much time with picking flowers, watching the water flowing and trying to swim with the fishes. Being a dragonblade is awesome! I can't imagine playing something else; the responsibility of being a healer seems too much (thank you healers!)...
Shadowfen Rumble in the Jungle featuring Denny I have been participating twice now on Denny's event Shadowfen Rumble in the Jungle and I must say that those two have been really fun events. I just love roaming the map with group and more the merrier as it can be heard in Raidcall...

RP Character Profile- Aelfgrim Frostborn ~Aelfgrim Frostborn~
-Priestess of Arkay-
The Nordic chamber is silent and lit with an ambient glow of candle light. The air feels heavy and damp on the skin and is filled with aromas of burning candles, incense, and choking soot from the torches beyond the far door; further into the crypt...
Journal of Aelfgrim Frostborn's Account of the Akaviri Invasion I entered Eastmarch following the White River toward Windhelm and followed a pass through the cairn-topped mountains for a more direct route. The closer I got to the city, the more I realized that the smoke I had seen was a larger plume that I had thought, and it was not from a camp...
What can happen around a Tamriel campfire? "What do you know?!" you hear from the old man setting across the campfire from you. You are startled for a minute because you didn't even see him walk up to your camp. You were distracted. As you slowly turned the rabbit over the campfire, your mind was on the imps and abominations that seemed to appear out of no where as you were riding your horse through the land of Bal Foyen...
Patience is such a virtue, thanks Marcovius One of the reasons that I joined GSCH is because of the values that are stressed in our family: unselfishness, generosity, and patience, for example. I was just led through the jumping puzzle Obsidian Sanctum, by our member Marcovius...
We like da moon! - By Rathergood We like the moon
coz it is close to us
we like the moooon!
but not as much as a spoon
'cause that's more use for eating soup
and a fork isn't very useful for that
unless it has got many vegetables
and then you might be better off with a
chop-stick
unlike the moon
it is up in the sky
it's up there very high
but not as high
as maybe
digibles or zeppelins
or lightbulbs
and maybe clouds
and puffins also I think maybe
they go quite high too
maybe not as high as the moon
coz the moon is very high
we like the moon
the moon is very useful everyone
everybody like the moon
because it light up the sky at night
and it lovely
and it makes the tide go and we like it
but not as much as cheese
we really like cheese
we like zeppelins
we really like them
and we like kelp and we like moose
and we like deer and we like marmots
and we like all the fluffy animals
we really like the moon

Overview of a Korean MMORPG: Black Desert I recently came across a couple of articles [1] [2] regarding a new Korean MMORPG entitled Black Desert. This game is being developed by Pearl Abyss. Normally, I would never mention a Korean MMORPG as they tend to feel clunky and include a lot of grind...
Fan Fic for Rift The cavern is dank and musty. Pools of moisture collect around the edges of his underground prison. Stalagmites carpeted with vicious mutated vegetation toxic to any of the mortal races protrude from the equally deadly pools...
Short Fan Fic I Wrote for Planet Side 2 Her breath was labored and came in short gasps. Training had been hard back at the academy but nothing like this. Nothing they had done could have prepared her for this. Automatic weapon fire pelted around her fortified position...
Orsan's adventures in ESO Greetings, everyone! Welcome to my ESO Blog on gaiscioch.com! I am planning to post a new Blog every week detailing the highlights of my ESO experience.

Treasure hunting Had some great adventure the other night hunting loot from the preorder package... I realized that new players may not know what to look for when they get a treasure map so I created a guide for it!

CoE pre and dungeon Hey family,
Had a great time with other members today in an event, and a dungeon run. First Dee and I opened up CoE with just the two of us. We had some tough battles, but had great fun at each corner of the reactor for the events and the downing of the Inquest Champ in the middle...
My first days in Tamriel In the first beta I played a small Wood Elf. Standing next to a few giant high elves with extremely large proportions, I felt a bit ridiculous. Until I met an other Wood Elf who was even smaller than me...
