Bism wins! click here to view, "Bism wins the Asulon-Map-Making contest!"

Not long after the Map-Making contest began --> Bism<-- graced us with talent many of us might not of known, his artwork. Just one look at his map and you can tell how much hard-work and detail were put into this, from the wiggly lines of lapping waves to the endless amounts of trees and rigid peaks. One has to admire the realistic yet quintessentially fantasy stylings of Bism's work and I speak for everyone when I say, Thank you ! 2,000 x 2,000 version 8,000 x 8,000 version *Monk Talmb happily hangs the beautifully drawn map in the Cloud Temple for all to consider.* (( Bism has been awarded Bedrock VIP for his truly inspiring work and will receive the in-character rewards when he is able. )) The map will be featured on the mainpage, aswell as the wiki and live on as a truly inspiring documentation of our realm. I hope that you all take the time to find all the little details he's hidden in this piece and enjoy the ambiance it creates ! ~

(( I roleplayed as Talmb before you joined the monks semi-often, but the short answer is - I hardly have any time to do so. I've also been out of town on my laptop for 4 days - which rushed this endevour. This was suppose to be a vacation of sorts but ive spent more time infront of the computer than anything else. ))

*Monk Talmb walks gingerly along, placing sign posts along major road-ways* *The sigh reads..* "Well met kind people of Asulon, we monks have created a new form of coinage that many should find relieving. We have forged such an object to ward off those who were beginning to duplicate our crude, old Mina. This new coinage may still be referred to as Mina, but is most well known as "emeralds". "You may convert your Mina at the Sanctuary, just near the docks passage."

-Every players Mina will be converted into "Mina Notes" these notes can be exchanged into emeralds at a 1x1 rate. -The emeralds will stack up to 100x -Players can covert their Mina Notes ONLY at an emerald bank - Currently the one set up, is at spawn. ( Nations will get their soon as-well ) -You can turn emeralds to notes and notes to emeralds as many times as you see fit at whatever value you please

We actually do have a plugin that allows for a limited creative, so we will be able to do things like this - but certain resources should still be required when building certain things considering the jobs that are created for gathering and harvesting

We must have our champions voted on, before September 1st - if there are players willing to set these up - sure but its going to take some coordination, we've not got much time
