MantleCon 1080 AE

When: Saturday, April 17th



Eight years have passed since our order fell. Since then we have had been in a constant civil war with those who wish to take what is ours. We shall not give it to them.

We have faltered in the past, and our faith was nearly broken for some. We have purged ourselves of the non-believers and we have kept our true strength in the shadows, waiting for the time to strike back.

Now, we are ready. Now, we shall strike back. Through your , we shall take what is ours. But before we do, we shall celebrate. It was this time of the year that our leaders have always held the MantleCon, and we shall once more. No more shall it be for the memory of the fallen, no… Now it shall be to the memory of the future! We celebrate the beginning of our return!

All praise the Unseen Ones!

The Golden Theatre:

No festival is complete without a play. For the first time in MantleCon, we shall present to you a play the likes you haven’t seen in Tyria. And it shall be far better than “Norgu’s Nightfall” or “Springtime for Varesh.”

We shall even take participants from the audience, should you wish to join. In advance, we shall need:

TBA

Costume Contest:

The oldest activity of the MantleCon shall return once more! The costume contest shall be to test how large your faith is. We shall have a contest for the best dressed as a White Mantle, the best dressed as our Unseen Lords, and the best dressed as a Jade Armor.

Be careful of what you choose, for there shall only be three winners of each.

Search for the Unseen:

We have sent many scouts out into the wilderness. Because many believe our Unseen Lords have taken cover in the jungles, they have wished to go there, though not all have gone into the jungles. We have lost track of five of our scouts, it is up to you, fellow believer, to seek them out and find what news they have.

Golem Invasion:

The unforgivable Shining Blade rebels have allied themselves with the asura in the past. It is likely they still do, but what is certain is that our scouts have reported asuran golems heading in our direction. We do not know where their destination is, or when they shall show to our base should they beheading here, so keep your guard up. If we see these golems, we shall fight them with the best tools humans have over these artificial beings: our minds!

The Strongest Jade Armor:

Before their fall, the Unseen Ones have gifted a select few the knowledge of how to create and control lesser Jade Armors. They thought we were too low for one of us to control their strongest ones, and the Unseen Ones know best. However, with the combined might of all those they have blessed, we shall create a Jade Armor far stronger than those seen controlled by the Unseen Ones themselves!

And with this jade armor, it shall be the key force to eliminate the blasted infidels from our land!

Unfortunately, we’ll have to cast the ritual after the festival and in secrecy, so those who help shall not be able to see their work until after it is made.

What we shall need is still under research.

Side Activities:

We cannot have a festival without the good ol’ side activities! We’ve refreshed this year’s organization with these, where before gambling was a mixture of trivia, rock paper scissors, and mime activities, we have separated all three. Along with that, we have organized vendors to sell ale, sweets, and party items. Don’t hoard them all, we only have a limited supply.

The cap is at five points and the prices for the vendors are as follows:

Ale – 50 gold
Sweets – 50 gold
Party Items – 75 gold

• The complete and real info will be up tomorrow. Thanks to Huginn for the idea of buckets (and the image)!
• Special thanks to Shew for making the music to the video I was hoping to make. Unfortunately, I haven't finished the visual for it (and it doesn't look like I will at all). Also thanks to Shew for donating an undedicated Eye of Janthir mini and 150k.
• Also thanks to Shorty Got Spells from [TEN] for donating 300k when we lost that same amount during my 2 month haitus from GW.
  
  Want to help with donations? Here's what we have left to get:
• 2 Undedicated Miniature Eyes of Janthir
• 206 Creme Brulees

Saw the Bucket. Laughed until I fell off my chair.

i have 1 undedicated jade armor left over from my own event prizes which you guys can have. IGN: Lorenna De Vir just whisper me when u see me on

Cool! I can't wait until the event. We have to protect the buckets at all costs!

No Thalador it is already to late MUHAHAH soon the mantle scum shall feel the wrath of the german community manager ^^

I'm not going to argue with somebody who can't speak the Tyrian language. :P

But you're wrong, terrorist scum. The Mantle and the Unsees Ones are great friends of the God of Tease. This whole theft is aspersion only. The great Lord of Tease gave it to us willingly, until Kryta is purged from the likes of you. After that, Martin will get back his powerful bucket.

Oh damn.....That hurt....Well what can i help it i wasen't aware such research exsisted :P.


But no The evil overlord of the bucket will have his bucket back at the price of 1000 mantle souls :P

Ofc i and Gw Events will be there to back ya up!!

Yay! Maybe I'll actually be able to attend this one!

Real info is up now that April Fools has passed.

Hey Konig, Is there anything you want us to do to help? Or is there anything that you are really lookin for this? Let me know. Ya know me always helping with what i can.

List of what we need is at the bottom of the first post:

The Queen will rally support for the Unseen Ones as usual. Yet it has come to my attention that Daniel Frozenwind and his band of Shiningblade crooks have set up a camp in the Wilderness of Talmark. The White Mantle autorities have been informed, and we'll soon have that traitorous mob removed from our beautiful province.

I would also like to remind all the traitorous peasants in nearby villages that any support for the Shiningblade will be dealt with harshly, and I would like to remind them to think about their future, and the future of their families.

That said I am looking forward to this lovely celebration of our Unseen Overlords, and this Salma will never rise to the throne of Kryta.

You force my hand.

The King will rally support for the Shining Blade as usual. Yet it has come to my attention that Mad Queen Malafide and her White Mantle crooks have set up a dictatorship in Kryta. The Lion Guard autorities have been informed, and will soon rally against that traitorous mob and have them removed from our beautiful province.

I would also like to remind all the traitorous Mantle in nearby villages that any support for the Shining blade will be dealt with cookies and candycanes, and I would like to remind them to think about their future, and the future of their families.

That said I am looking forward to this lovely celebration of our Unseen Overlords, and that Salma will rise to the throne of Kryta.


-_-

What a lovely twist on my words Daniel dear. And you are ever so eager to rush to the aid of this primitive band of rebels. But I think many Krytans still remember that the Mantle have protected our lovely province for many years now, and have kept it safe from those vile Charr in the north. The Unseen Ones have always been Kryta's silent protectors, and it is there for that they deserve our support. I will be there on Mantlecon to oppose your crew of little goody two-shoes, and I urge all Tyrians to show their support as well.

Ah how could have i almost forgot this
i will look forward to OBEYing the unseen ones

Gaming fusion and [UIB] will be there to give some support ;D we will also advertise the event on our website!

Well i have a few mursaats i'll look to see if they are unded or not. and get back to you

An update on the "still need for goals" list:

• 2 Undedicated Miniature Eyes of Janthir
• 206 Creme Brulees

Dunno if I can get the last two eyes of Janthir for the costume contests - if not, I apologize. But I got the three armbraces.

I'll be updating the OP with prizes for each event, and what professions/gender/outfits will be needed for the Golden Theatre, and the items for the Strongest Jade Armor on April 10th. So you all know.

Thanks for the update, and I shall keep a look out for any of those miniatures.

Also, I have received word that the White Mantle are very happy with this joyful celebration, especially now that several Shiningblade bandits have surrendered themselves to the guards. They have been taken into custody and are awaiting a fair trial as we speak. Let this be an example of how pointless these unorganised bands really are, because in the end justice prevails. So do not ally yourselves with these groups. It leads to nothing but regrets.

We encourage all Tyrians attending the event to dress in their best pro-Mantle, Jade armor or pro-Unseen Ones outfits. We shall not let these Shiningblade criminals ruin our great celebration. A splendid Mantlecon to all.

I will just leave this here.

Fortunately the people of Kryta still remember who keeps them safe.

Malafide, I hope you post your work over here.

Done darling, thanks for the link. And I assure you there will be more to support our brave troops.

neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerds

It pleases the Queen to see that White Mantle enforcers are now making sure Kryta remains as safe as it has always been under Mantle rule. But we know there are still Krytans offering shelter to these Shiningblade bandits. Step forward and turn these criminals in, you'll be rewarded for your loyalty. Many Krytans now understand how dangerous these rebels are. Brave people such as Layman Josef from Bergen Hotsprings for example have stepped forward to help us secure Kryta. Help the Mantle, our future depends on it.

The Reformation of the White Mantle has begun! Follow Saul's true teachings!

mantlecon?

we will be there!

we have redesigned our old cape and our armors to go with the white mantle theme and i hope everyone does the same (even got the build of the jade armor and white mantle seeker.)

You may want to keep an eye on the page. The theme has changed.

#Reform!

By decree of the Reformation, MantleCon shall hereby be used for the Shining Mantle, and not the White Mantle

Mantle! Blade! Citizen! Be not fooled by the Peacekeeper. Some of those of the White Mantle have seen their heinous crime, and we do not wish to be part of the men who hire mere brigands and bandits to keep “peace” in the land. The Mantle are corrupt and have become blinded by their greed and their zealousness. But worry not! For the MantleCon shall not be! Our group is small, but we wish for peace, not war.

We are the Shining Mantle. We will continue the MantleCon to promote the true teachings of Saul! We shall not give in to greed or fall victim to those who wish to rule. We follow Confessor Isaiah no more for we do not believe he can be trusted – he may not be the one who hired the Peacekeeper, but he allows them to do what crimes they are doing!

We shall follow Salma, descendant of Doric, and we shall promote co-existence between Mantle and Blade. There are some of us who still worship the Unseen Ones, despite the allegations, but we hold no grudges to those who do or do not. There will be those who think Salma may be as incompetent as her father, King Jadon, but those who do are not out to dethrone her, but to help fix her mistakes!

We support Kryta. We support humanity. We are people of co-existence!

Down to the Peacekeepers! The truest threat to Kryta!

Golden Theatre
Fellow Reformers, before there were plans to have a play of the fall of the late Confessor Dorian. But the reformation calls for a new tale! The tale shall bring back the memory of the founder of the organization, Saul, and the memory of his teachings – the true teachings of the White Mantle, those which even the Shining Blade refuse to acknowledge anymore! To do such, we shall show you of the time when the founders of the reformation removed their veils of lies from their eyes!

But to do such, we shall need volunteers, for our group is still small. The roles are as follows:

• A male elementalist
• A male monk
• A male warrior
• A male and female peasant
• A peacekeeper (male or female)

Costume Contest
The Costume Contest will, of course, be retained in the MantleCon. However, we will take this time not to dress up as the Unseen Ones, but instead to allow the new members of the Shining Mantle to create their own uniform idea. That’s right – design your own uniform for the Shining Mantle and we shall judge those we like. The top three will win prizes!

There will be, of course, limits to the uniforms. They must be of bright colors – preferably of white and gold – and the uniform must not have clashing pieces (that is, it needs to look good!).

Search for the Unseen
The scouts who were sent out do not yet know of the reformation, nor of the Peacekeepers even. I doubt many of them will come to our cause, but we can only hope for the best. It will be up to you, fellow reformer, to find the scouts and let them know of what has happened!

When you find the scouts give them this message:

"The Mantle lost its way and kills innocents, reformation begun, the reformers work for good of Kryta."

Golem Invasion
Despite having the reformation, it seems that the golems are still coming to the event. Unfortunately, it appears that we’ll have to fight before we can negotiate with the Shining Blade. The Golems, having no will of their own, will not turn back from their quest.



The Strongest Jade Armor
One of those who were given the ability to create a Jade Armor has joined us in our purpose. With her knowledge, we shall create a Jade Armor to combat the one that the White Mantle intends to create. What we'll need is as follows:

• "1 stone of the Unseen’s greatest foes"
• "3 inscriptions of a fallen god"
• "1 dwarven hammer of a fiery dungeon"
• "2 ruby eyes of a powerful caster"
• "8 claws of a keen demon of Cantha"
• "2 essences of a celestial being"
• "1 book of a new god"

Side Activities
We cannot have a festival without the good ol’ side activities! We’ve refreshed this year’s organization with these, where before gambling was a mixture of trivia, rock paper scissors, and mime activities, we have separated all three. Along with that, we have organized vendors to sell ale, sweets, and party items. Don’t hoard them all, we only have a limited supply.

The cap is at five points and the prices for the vendors are as follows:

Ale – 50 gold
Sweets – 50 gold
Party Items – 75 gold

Is the Shining Mantle relocation of the event a joke?
Where is this event going to be located?

For well over a month it's been "Maguuma Stade International Districts 1-3"
Even guildwars.com as your event at Magumma Stade.
Is there going to be two parties?

I'm sorry if I am a complete tool for asking but, this simple minded person is confused.

All of the information above is accurate. The founders of the Reformation (Konig, Thalador Doomspeaker, and Myself) formed this idea last weekend. Then, starting Monday, guru experienced its timeout issues from a malicious attack. This delayed Konig from releasing the information, as a result, the Official Page on the website was posted before Arenanet could be informed of the changes.

Everything will happen according to plan as has been posted by Konig on this thread.

I have a question: If the first post was April 1st, how could it have been "for well over a month" to have been at Maguuma Stade.

guildwars.com was notified when it was Maguuma Stade and not the Henge of Denravi, and the localization that takes place is too much work to change, especially at this point.

When the Peacekeeper stuff came out eight days after the event details was released (hardly even half a month, maybe a third), things were being changed. The changes were made quite a few days ago.

Its in the Henge of Denravi.

Also, an update of prizes:
* Costume Contest: (there are three chances for each place)
o 1st place: 65k, Jade Armor Miniature, Mursaat Miniature, Eye of Janthir Miniature
o 2nd place: 40k, Jade Armor Miniature, Mursaat Miniature
o 3rd place: 20k, Jade Armor Miniature
* Search for the Unseen Ones: (there are three chances for each place)
o 1st place: 35k
o 2nd place: 30k
o 3rd place: 25k
o 4th place: 20k
o 5th place: 15k
* RPS, Mime, Trivia: 1 Gift of the Hunstman each "win" (15 "wins" per activity and district)
* Golem: 1 Zaishen Key per "win" (15 "wins" per district)
* Strongest Jade Armor: 1 Armbrace (three winners - one per district

All miniatures are undedicated. There may be additions to the prizes (simple weapons or the like). Essentially, we're giving out far more than 1 mil - possibly more than 2 mil (too lazy right now to do the math). Total funds are as follows:

* Prizes:
o Gold: 750,000
o Armbrace of Truth: 3
o Gifts of the Huntsman: 180
o Zaishen Keys: 45
o Miniature Jades: 3
o Miniature Mursaat: 6
o Miniature Eye of Janthir: 3

Costumes (ie the new White Mantle Costume from the NCSoft store) are banned for the White Mantle look-a-like contest, right? I am assuming yes but just clarifying for those who would dare use them.

I think they are free to use costumes...but I dont think they will win anything.

Costumes won't win anything - same with tonics. You can use the headpieces though.

A hint for the scavenger hunt, and a bit of a reduction because of the time restraint caused by guru's server fail:

The demon line is about a claw - not talon. People have been confused on which I want between those. Also, I'll take no less than 4, instead of 8. More are always welcome though.

And another hint:
3 items are trophies (dropped from monsters)
the rest are quest items (found during a quest or given by an NPC) - note: not all quest items will say "Quest Item"

Yea...

If I can find a computer to use, I think I will stay at Maguuma Stade, people who do not use guru and havent checked the thread link will probably go there.

I was already gonna handle that We can act like the two keepers at the fork in the road. One of us could tell nothing but lies, the other nothing but the truth

Let us speak in riddles, love the idea Malchior!
