Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap
Member of the Month: It is our pleasure to welcome another new face to the spotlight this month. khamsin walked into Lodan one day and has started getting involved left and right. Within just a month he already has three characters set up and is entering threads with all of them. He has been eager to share ideas and spice up our little community and we are more than happy to have him around! If you haven't seen him around yet, you surely will in the future as he keeps getting involved around the city. We hope you'll be here for months to come Khamsin!
Character of the Month: Members come and go from Lodan; it's a part of a life here. But sometimes members come back and when they do, the community is more than welcoming to them with returning. Amon is a great example of this as he has welcomed Mingo's previous leader, Sienna, back into the guild without question. The merchanic has gone out of his way to rescue Sienna from the unfortunate circumstances that led to her disappearance and with some help from other members, he has arranged a rescue mission that's sure to quite the mission. Amon is always there, ready to help any budding engineer blossom and somehow finds time to develop new technology while also running his guild. Without him, Mingo's wouldn't be the same. Thanks for being a wonderful leader Amon!

A little late, but spotlights are here Member of the Month: Our member this month has been making great strides in being involved with the Lodan community Lillian Rainfield has been making lots of artwork for everyone to enjoy while also becoming more active on the forums, she even has a trial coming up that will be open to everyone in the same guild as her! We hope that you’ll keep up the activity and maybe even draw more new members to the forums with you! Character of the Month: This month our character has been in the spotlight before, but not under this name. Medivha took a break from Lodan, which is understandable (it happens to the best of us) but upon her return, she might as well be a new person! IC characters most definitely won’t recognize her with this new look and personality, but she’s still the same person we met all those months ago. Quickly stepping in to help the Royal Army out, we’re thankful for her presence and hope she enjoys her stay in the city too.

Member of the Month: Today we show our appreciation to a new face to the spotlight this month. Thomas "Tomcat" Thompson joined Lodan recently, and since day one has been an example of activity, joining and participating of multiple threads as much as possible with his accounts. His characters are each very unique and make up for a more diverse demographic in the group, and he makes us eager to share what our little community has to offer. We are more than happy to have him around! If you haven't seen him around yet, you surely will in the future as he keeps getting involved around the city.
We hope you'll be having plenty of fun here, Tom!
Character of the Month: Elijah Godwin is a character and the finest classic, all in one. A great example of what Lodan's upper crust prides themselves of, this distinguished gentleman has recently enrolled and been welcomed into the Mingos Mechanics guild, where he puts his hands to work and his engineering and merchanic talents to use.
He's been striving to meeting plenty of people too. Lets all greet this blossoming member!

Today we show our appreciation for Amon who has done an unimaginable amount of work behind the scenes to get Lodan ready for the LodanRespawn2024. Do not be deceived by the quiet slumber Lodan has persisted in for the last year or two... This outstanding Admin has been diligently revisiting and revising his plans for the next chapter of Lodan's shared history and continues to do so in an effort to bring a fresh new, easy version of our beloved second home to adopt and activate out of hibernation. If you see Amon on the forums or in Discord, please share your enthusiasm for the coming respawn, and let him know his efforts are much appreciated!
OCTOBER Character of the Month:
Elaine Anncroft is probably the first to engage in multiple RP threads with other players on the site prior to the respawn (possibly tied with Lasair for this accomplishment). Elaine has stuck around and stayed invested in our shared universe regardless of it's waxing and waning level of activities. She and Lasair have kept the forums alive with their continued stories before bringing out her alts to illuminate the happenings around the rest of Lodan and engage other characters in the process. It is a pleasure to see that beautiful icon on the forums again and as a simple thanks, I'd like to spotlight this character this month!
