Cead Mile Failte!Welcome to another edition of the Gaiscioch Community Notes! This month we've had a lot of movement on the new games frontier and even some neat updates from our existing chapters and adventures. Let's jump right in! DirectoryGet InvolvedGaiscioch Family NewsNew World Beta LaunchAll who have pre-ordered should gain access to the final closed beta on July 25th. We will be grouping up and setting a course to explore a bit of the world together at 6PM PT, in anticipation of scouting out some prime real estate come launch day. Come explore the world of Aeternum ahead of the August 26th launch date. We still have room for those that wish to join us day one and don't plan to publicly recruit for the first two weeks. We want to see how close to the guild cap we get before we open the doors publicly. Join our New World Adventure to reserve your spot! Also, be sure to flag yourself in the #getting-started channel as a New World player to unlock the Discord Channels. PAX West CancelledFor the first time in 8 years, there will be no PAX West Gathering in Seattle this year. It is our hope that for next year's 20th anniversary of launching our community we can do something big. But we will have to wait and see where the world is at. Gaiscioch #ExtraLife Charity Event 2020This year is shaping up nicely for the 2020 event. This year I am going to make one major change to the event series. Over the past 8 years, we've tried to binge play through the weekend. We expanded it from 1 day to 2 days then to 3 days. What I've decided to do for this year is span the entire week for our event. The 2020 #ExtraLife Games Week will kick off Sunday, November 1st and run through Saturday, November 7th. It will feature 3 streams per day with a special kickoff event with 4 streams. The 6PM PT games will be games you can all join in the fun. Those will be our Chapters and Adventures giving you all a chance to join in the event series. Every event we'll be giving out a code you can use to enter the grand prize raffle. The more you collect the more prizes you can win. I've got a tentative calendar lineup in the works for streams and events. I will try to have a flyer done so we can post them in our offices and community boards soon. I'm hoping we can bring a little light to this messed up year and give those kids a fighting shot. Current Tentative Lineup includes:
Be sure to use https://gsch.info/forthekids-donate as our community donation area. If you would like to participate on your own and raise money for our team you can register at: http://gsch.info/forthekids-register We will be adding more raffle prizes for every milestone we meet. Let's try to make something good come out of 2020. Inside the FamilyGaiscioch Family Patreons:Want to give a special shout-out to those members who are helping enable our community to do great things. Their financial support has allowed us to expand the tools at our disposal and maintain the community without burning a hole in my personal savings. While a still do pay a bit out of pocket their contributions have prevented me from having to work side gigs to keep us afloat and for that, I am eternally grateful. It's at a manageable level I am comfortable with. Without these Patreons, you'd be seeing a lot less of me. Thank you for keeping me in-game and focused on growing our community. Avohaiel

We had a lot of fun over the past month exploring the depths of Greymoor. However, we barely began to scratch the surface. We will be spending the month of July working on completing all the Harrowstorms, World Bosses, and exploring the right side of the caverns. Join us on Sundays at 11AM PT as we continue exploring Greymoor.

The Ottoman empire themed Blood of the Empire is set to launch in July. We will see 4 new units, 2 new deployable, 2 new maps, and a new battle pass filled with new skins and consumables. The official announcement stated:
"The army of the Anadolou Empire marches north. Their numbers are legion, their battle prowess is beyond measure, and their sights are set on total dominion. A new power is rising, and it will not stop until the old world yields to it. Contend with the might of an empire in Season IV: Blood of the Empire, coming to Conqueror’s Blade as a free update in July 2020!
Season IV is heavily influenced by the rich history and culture of Turkey, especially during the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Throughout the season, you will discover new battlegrounds where his majesty Sultan Fatih Suleyman IV of the Anadolou Empire will make his stand, and the units, weapons, and armour that form the blood of his realm.
Launching with Season IV, the new Battle Pass will be packed with over 100 levels of rewards, including season-exclusive cosmetics, valuable items, and a special currency that can be exchanged for 11 unique, Turkish-themed weapon skins."

Now that the game has been out for a year and we're setting up for a summer-fall that will likely have a lot of players trying new things, we're going to migrate all Registered members into Gaiscioch and reduce the AFK rotation to 30-days for Gaiscioch and 14-days for Tuatha.
If at any time members need to take a break or want to go try other games we'll welcome them back right where they left off. This should place all of our active members into one house and give us a much more powerful presence on the battlefield. We will try to have Westweg controlled by Tuatha while all our other fiefs are controlled by Gaiscioch.
Next season I want to make sieging and defending Nordtal a priority. I want our corner back and will take it by force if we have to. We will not be deleting ArachDubh just in case we need a 3rd house in the future but as of season 4 kickoff, we will be placing it on the shelf.
