• I am using executive force to also repeal Ailor Lineage by 2nd Degree in Nobility. This means that:
• Nobles in the same family / Adopted members may have different Ailor Lineages. There are some limitations still in effect however:
  – Children must always obey Lineages of their parents.
  – Parents must always obey Lineages of their children.
  – Siblings must always obey Lineages of their siblings.
  – First Cousins must always obey Lineages of their cousins.
  – Second removed Cousins and further may have whatever Lineage, subservient to the rules above for their “sector” of the family.
  – Adopted family members may have whatever Lineage.
  – Married in people may have whatever Lineage was reasonable where they came from
  (for example, Valerie Ravenstad must still be Ravenstad chosen Lineage, but can be a different Lineage than du Triege chosen Lineage).
  Estate transfers for Nobles are now Blocked (except for those who do not have one for their family yet) Housing will not re-open until V6.

Quest
This week it is with a heavy heart that the quest team part ways with Vegemiite. During the last few months he has been a remarkable addition to our team and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours. On a happier note, this week we saw the release of the 10th anniversary scavenger hunt quest. It was thrilling to watch you guys battle for first place on Friday night and Saturday morning. This hunt will remain open for the rest of the week so be sure to give it a go if you haven’t already. Everybody gets a reward for completing it and it takes you across some limited time locations from MassiveCraft’s past. It can be started by talking to Gollum at /tp event. Besides that, preparations for the valentine festival and two other upcoming projects are well on their way.
