Misticans all over the world are recovering from the epic battle. Mistmas was saved once again, from the threat of Queen Boreal and her plans. MeriKlaus, King Blithe, and Aurelius gathered and talked of various matters of the realm. 

Aurelius met with Joel and Princess Alana and gave his best wishes on a happy and long marriage. He met with various Legendaries and did not seem surprised to see them emerge in greater numbers in Mistica.

The shopkeepers sold their wares, and many enjoyed the winter season as the air grew colder and snow began falling in many parts of the fair world.   And somewhere in Mistica, people gathered to celebrate  Valkyrie's birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALKYRIE!!

Tormic had a small gift, that he sent her way and made sure to let others know that he'd be stocking the new critter in his shop.
 

Join us in the Mistic Chat to sign her birthday card on the forums!

Queen Boreal could feel soft snow being crushed under her boots.

Looking back, the woman saw the vast expanse of white that was her icy kingdom, and before her, the rocky foothills of Frost Bite Mountain. Hours before she had been standing on those rocks, but her army – King Kohal – had fallen back.

Mistica had flocked to Aurelius’s side in numbers and with speed that Queen Boreal hadn’t imagined possible. The star stood on the front lines, backed by humans, gargoyles, kelpies, fey, sprites and even a few imps, all surrounded by a horde of their animal companions. 

King Kohal roared and the queen was horrified to see the fire in his red eyes dimming. The hulking creature tossed his head, agitated, and stumbled, lashing out wildly at the Misticans streaming forth to take him on. And they were winning! She had thought all the weapons would be gone, but no, somehow they had managed to collect a small armory’s worth! Blades whistled through the air and spells rippled the very fabric of space, each blow bringing the Kohal down further. Boreal looked around her and saw that most of her Kohal servants had fled; she could see black specks in the distance of the Diamond Glacier Domain.

And at last, with a rumble that shook the battlefield and nearly knocked the stubborn queen off her feet, King Kohal fell with a shriek that could be felt in the bones. Silence reigned for several seconds that seemed to last an eternity, and when the monster did not rise, shouts of triumph screamed from the throats of Aurelius’s army.

The star raised his hand and pointed at the defeated queen, and she saw a steel resolve that belied his colorful appearance. “Go back to your kingdom, where you belong!” He bellowed, and his allies once again cheered, “You’re finished!”

Even the famous arrogance of Boreal couldn’t make her hold her ground. She drew herself up to her full, impressive height, leveling a soulless white stare at the man who had taken her down. “For now,” she said simply, and turned, signaling her remaining servants to accompany her back to her palace.

Aurelius left the battlefield with those who had fought beside him so the queen’s followers could nurse their wounds. King Kohal remained a dark blot on the land, a once living monument to the victory of the side of good. Truly, he had not wanted this; he was not a violent personality and never would be, but the fallen star couldn’t be allowed to get a hold on power. Even Pandoria would have trouble stopping her then.

And so Aurelius went to the Blizzard’s Realm to greet old friends before his journey back to the skies.

Many Kohal were not fortunate enough to depart with Queen Boreal and are now looking for homes. Perhaps there are those in Mistica that could find room for these poor lost souls?



~Mistic Team

Outside Queen Boreal’s silvery palace, the Kohals had finally emerged. It was as if the snow were a blank canvas smeared with black ink so great was the number of servants, and in the middle of them towered King Kohal. Released from his chains, he was silent, but his red eyes glowed, lone fires in the stark white of the Diamond Glacier Domain.

Queen Boreal stood serenely beside her creation. The Kohals around her avoided her gaze, giving her and the monster as wide a berth as they could. They all knew the King was a horrific thing, a misuse of science and magic, and only their fear of Boreal kept them from trying to flee.

Of course, the trembling slaves were all just a front, a show of numbers. Queen Boreal knew all she really needed was King Kohal; he would be the crushing force that assured her victory. With one last sweep of her army with blank white eyes, the Queen raised her voice.

“Forward!” Was the shouted command, and like oil sliding over ice, the dark army marched for Frost Bite Mountain.

But of course, even the arrogant queen couldn’t ignore the rainbow of colors shining above her head. Aurelius would see, had probably already begun planning how to stop her. If he managed any support at all, it would be hasty, and with the weapon makers gone (thanks to clever blackmailing), weak. Still, a surprised enemy was what she wanted; she needed to move fast if she had any hope of victory.


And she was right. It did not take long for the colorful star to warn King Blithe and MeriKlaus, who wasted no time in sending out messengers to all of Mistica with pleas for help. Some of them would join Queen Boreal, they knew, but with luck more would come against her.


Which side will you choose Mistica? Take care to visit the giveaway to gain a weapon to use. Will you fight against Aurelius, or King Kohal in an attempt to beat Queen Boreal?

You must take a side, and if you have any hope of breaking her hold on Mistmas, (and your presents) you must battle at least once!
Please head to the New Battle System board in the forums for more information and links! (Make sure it isn't blocked please!)

Together, we shall prevail!

NOTES
The new Battle System is open for Mistmas for ALL Misticans to enjoy! 

You can choose a side, and battle and get to know the new system a bit before the final release which is just a week or two away. ;)

The final launch will include a battle shop to spend your accumulated stat points for any pet that you choose to involve with the new system. Pets that have high stats, that you do NOT wish to transfer over and use in the new system will retain their stats, but you will not see reward points for them. These reward points will be used to purchase exclusive weaponry and more in the battle shop.  

Legacy Pets that are not converted will retain their stats and be display pets only from this point forward. The choice is up to you!**

The new system is comprehensive and an amazing amount of work was put into the algorithms and stat interactions. For this reason, all pets will be starting fresh in the new system with their new species stats that you will be able to customize and define as you level within the system. 

Currently, if you visit the new Battle System forum, you will find a Quick Start Guide and links to be taken to the battle screen for Mistmas. First you must choose your pet to use in the new system, then choose a side and finally you will be able to battle. 

 **- We have saved a backup of all pets and their stats and plan on a Legacy Hall of Fame shortly to showcase those pets who reached the top scores. Your work and your pet will be acknowledged!

***note- Pease accept our apologies for the pet collection cleanout. This was an unintended side effect of attempting to clear equipped items from pets. We understand this is a lot of items for many of you and we will take care to not let something like this happen again.  

The Weekly Raffle has come to a close, and we are very happy to announce the latest lucky Mistican to fill their coffers!

Congratulations to sidewalk, who has won 1,029,000 MC in this weeks raffle!

Head on over to purchase your tickets now for a chance to win big!

Thanks, Mistic Team.

Queen Boreal was master of her emotions, but even her icy countenance was beginning to crack for her excitement. Her white eyes glittered, taking in what was before them without blinking. Boreal, for once, was speechless, and even the snow outside bathed in color from Aurelius’s star couldn’t wipe the smirk off of her face.

A roar erupted from the darkness that surrounded her and the queen laughed, steadying herself effortlessly with one dainty hand against the rough stone wall of the dungeon. The only light was from the open door behind her, just barely illuminating the silhouette of the beast she had come to inspect.
A gargantuan Kohal took up the dungeon from floor to ceiling, its massive stone feet chained to the floor. Metallic clanking rang out whenever it moved, and the noise seemed to aggravate the creature further. It snarled and snapped at the air.

Queen Boreal turned to the attendants standing along the corners, mostly humans and gargoyles in palace livery. “Is he ready?” She asked; though the queen knew the answer, she found she wanted to hear it again.
“Yes,” said the nearest servant, his blue eyes never leaving the enormous creature only feet away from him, “the King Kohal has taken to the experiments perfectly. Last year he was an infant compared to what he is now.”

The queen laughed again, a cold sound devoid of any real mirth, the mad gleam in her eyes brightening. “Perfect,” she declared, and swept out of the dungeons, slamming the thick stone door behind her.

Misticans everywhere had been suspicious of her quietness this Mistmas, but that silence would soon be broken. The storm was coming, a hurricane of power so great that not even Aurelius could save them now. King Kohal would wipe out Mistica, bring the surviviors to their knees, and Queen Boreal would rise above them all and keep them under her heel.

Uh oh Mistica.. are you prepared? 

Perhaps your legendaries would like to get into a festive mood? With these new clothing pieces available at Flashy Fashions, you could be the Jingle Bell hit of the season!
Take your pick from Winter Blue, Elf Green, or Santa Red!




Merry Mistmas to ALL!

Come join us in the forums as we wish Shantred a HAPPY Birthday celebration! Though he doesn't come out of his basement hiding spot very often, he's been indispensible and is the main architect to this years Mistmas fun! 

~Mistic Team 

Queen Boreal was still as she read the parchment stretched between her hands. Even the stoic queen couldn’t help a contemptuous smirk at what it said, though of course she had expected nothing less. 

“Good news?” The blue-haired human at her shoulder inquired, careful to keep his voice low. Just because the queen was in a good mood didn’t mean her temper couldn’t flare in a blink.

“Of course,” she said as she rolled up the parchment and thrust it back into the hands of her courier, “They expected thieving of the Advent gifts and I doubt are prepared for anything worse, but they will see.” And with that the queen rose from her chair, glancing out the window it was situated beside. This receiving room was small, she knew, much smaller than her throne room, but it did provide an excellent view of her kingdom. Everything was silver and white under a weak winter sun.

Boreal left the courier to burn the note he’d brought and walked the corridors of her palace, not noticing the servants and Kohals who tried to scurry out of the way and bow low at the same time. She ascended a winding set of stairs that led to her tower room and shut the door behind her.

Here, several Kohals were sitting against the walls, and they cowered as the queen entered. Her blank white eyes passed over each one, as though she were scrutinizing something only she could see, and then turned to jot down various numbers on a chart pinned to the wall. 

She left, smiling wider than before and even the blazing comet in the sky did little to mar her triumphant mood.

Twinkling across the nighttime sky, the merry comet has returned on it's yearly journey through the skies of Mistica!

The WinterCursed Tarinooki and WinterGala Lirionox are ready to join in the Mistmas fun!

Contests!

It's that time again, time for new contests! This January, we are asking everyone to put on their creative thinking caps and are allowing free choice entries. They have to be Mistic related, and follow site rules though, so let's see what you come up with!

With a new contest, this also means that it's time to VOTE!
  
Your votes are important and there are some amazing entries this time. Let us know what you think!

Battle!

Seems like the Battle Portal and Training Rooms have been closed. I wonder what this means?

The battle shops have packed it up as well, including the Potion shop! What in Pandoria's name is happening, is Queen Boreal at the heart of these mysterious happenings?

~Mistic Team 

King Blithe rested on his throne, his mouth tight and brows furrowed. The small Kohal before him, a bright Northern bow around its neck, had brought news from one of the spies that the king had planted in the Diamond Glacier Domain, and he didn’t quite know what to make of it.

"The Alchemy Tower has become active. I have not seen the room myself, but many servants of the palace come and go, and the queen is there often, though I don’t know what she is overseeing. I did not think her knowledge of the art had improved much from last year, but she has something planned. I hear roars so loud from the dungeon that it vibrates throughout the entire palace, mostly at night when I am shut up in my own quarters. Stay alert."

The Inarbu huffed. Boreal hadn’t taken any captives that he knew of, so who did she have in her dungeons, and what was she doing to them to cause such an uproar?

Almost more disturbing was the early release of Kohal mininons from her icy domain. Heartbroken from being turned out, and without an owner to care for, they wandered the land.
 

Will you grant a home to a lonely Kohal?

Seems like MeriKlaus has been thinking that everyone is just a little too complacent with Queen Boreal being so quiet this year. That mischievous Mericai has hidden your Advent Present today!  Can you find it, using the clue she left for you?
 

And while you are looking, there's been talk that the Delight Pixie just may have a winter box up her sleeve to gift to a lucky Mistican. Will it be you? And which one will it be?

~Mistic Team

Has definitely settled over the land of Mistica!  And joining our Mistmas celebrations, we have the WinterGala Braenon and the WinterGreen Belragoth!

 
Will you celebrate the season with a new pet theme?

~Mistic Team

Advent Calendar Link:
 

Thus far, this Mistmas season has been a quiet one. Presents are being sent out, prizes from the Advent Calendar remain untouched, and not one silvery hair of Queen Boreal has been seen.

Nevertheless, the wise old King Blithe has kept watch on his adversary, and it seems she may be planning to soon break her silence. Lights glitter from the top of one of her many towers, the very same one that had only last year spouted putrid fumes from failed alchemy experiments. 


The queen strolls about her palace hallways and corridors with the faintest of smiles on her hard, dark face; fewer Kohals than is normal haul supplies to her, the rest supposedly being kept locked up inside. Every now and again, a distant, deep roar is heard from her dungeons…

~Mistic Team 

Wonderful time of the year!

Seasonal Stocking!
The shopkeepers broke out all their Mistmas goodies overnight, so keep your eyes peeled for those seasonal goodies. They can be found all over Mistica!

And much more!

Note of Concern

With so many new members joining up, we'd like to remind everyone that ONLY one account is allowed per person. If you have inadvertently created a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th account), we welcome you to step forward and contact Ruthie or Zarabeythe so that the matter can be taken care of.

Happy Holidays!

 

~Mistic Team 

I received an email, to let us know the deadlines for our group participation.  Dec 9th is the last day to claim angels and ship items to the centers.  Dec 13th is the last day to purchase gift cards!

The site will be sponsoring at least 4 more angels to bring our total to 10 as a group. There is no way to transfer local Angels to the group, but I have claimed 3 additional children from local trees and purchased goods to drop off in person.

 A huge thank you to all who were able to participate in this project with us. There are going to be kids who will have warm coats for the winter, and a toy or wished for item to brighten their winter days now, and it's thanks to the generosity and kind spirit that is so prevalent in Mistica that made it possible. Thank you to all who support the site, without you, we wouldn't be here and able to do things like this. Regardless of purchasing credits or not, your continued support means so much to all of the staff. 

Merry Mistmas!
