Hi there everyone.

The Elemental Wraiths have arisen from the Light only knows where. All that is known is that these creatures are roaming the Realms, raining destruction on all who oppose them.

The Warriors of the Realms must gather together to rid the Communities of these horrifying creatures!

Elemental Wraith (Level 25)
3179f69ebfb3419fecd8d03c844bafbf68da.jpg

The latest Global Event in Fallen Sword is now underway! In the Event, the Community must work together to destroy the Elemental Wraiths plaguing the realms.

Each player must earn a personal target for increasingly bountiful Frag Stashes (mouse over the event info on the World page for more details) while also helping the Community to attain the best total kills possible, unlocking the rewards for all.

The Global Event shall be live until 15:00 (Server Time) on the 29th of November 2017.

For each tier that the community completes the reward will be as follows:

Bronze:1 x Global Bronze Frag Stash II
Silver:1 x Global Silver Frag Stash II
Gold:2 x Global Gold Frag Stash II
Crystal:2 x Global Crystal Frag Stash II
Ruby: 3 x Global Ruby Frag Stash II

If you qualified, the reward(s) will be delivered to your mailbox shortly after the event ends. Note that you get the reward for the tier that you have qualified for, for example if the community unlocks Gold, but you qualify for Silver, you will receive 1 x Global Silver Frag Stash. You don't receive the rewards from lower tiers, only the tier you have qualified for.
 
Also if you are placed within the top 100 event contributors you will receive an additional 2 Global Ruby Frag Stash II chests.

There is a helpful forum post RIGHT HERE full of information on Global hunting grounds and so on compiled from the Community by Egami.

Good luck everyone!

I still don't understand this sentence. "The Elemental Wraiths have arisen from the Light only knows where." :)

You have to remember that English isn't the first language of the cows, it's some sort of moo-ing etc


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

try it like this:

 

The Elemental Wraiths have arisen, the Light only knows where from.

Well I guess it will be another ten years before I get my Global Quest Top 100 Silver. At least I got a few frags :)

Think of when you say "Heaven only knows where". "The Light" is a proper noun, and only it knows where the Elemental Wraiths have risen from. It probably wanted capitalising as "The Light", but I'm pretty sure it makes sense, to British ears anyway. :)

Yes, capitalizing the "The" would have made a difference.

 

However, may i suggest:

 

The Elemental Wraiths have arisen; from where, only The Light knows.

 

 

try it like this:

 

The Elemental Wraiths have arisen, the Light only knows where from.

 

 

Never end a sentence with a preposition.

Because so many people from around the world play and have played this game,  I add things that others don't see.  I add caps, commas, periods, and other things to global and guild chat, ah, the FSbox, PMms and anywhere else it makes things easier for me to read. I can read upside down, backwards, between the lines, phonics,  and missing words. The brain works in interesting ways.  lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you, BigGrim. :)  More frags are always welcome.

The ancient world of Erildath consists of four world realms; The North Lands of Eredas where Eribor, a mighty human fortress sits guarding the valley pass. Eribor is home to Iluthar, the Sword of Light.

Yada yada yada. Finally, the Withered Lands in the south, bastion to the forces of darkness.
Legend tells of ancient times where humans waged an everlasting war against the hordes of darkness. Yada yada yada.

The Shadow Lord devised a major campaign that would divide the united forces of light.

I Understood :P

"At one time, schoolchildren were taught that a sentence should never end with a preposition. However, this is a rule from Latin grammar that was applied to English. While many aspects of Latin have made their way into the English language, this particular grammar rule is not suited for modern English usage."
 

(see http://grammar.yourd...JPBOrl0y7HFK.99 )
 

Also, good job team!

True, it's accepted these days that; as long as you successfully get your point across, proper sentence structure is unimportant. 

 

I stand by my opinion, however, that "Ain't no English like proper English."

 

 

As a nation we've gone from this

So mind your English kids.


Just one old lady's opinion
