Discovery of Brightvale!

brightvale

Brightvale, the neighbouring kingdom to Meridell is home to all kinds of scholarly things. The land is ruled by King Skarl's brother King Hagan who values knowledge above all and despairs of his impetuous little brothers ways.

How lovely, I knew brightvale would be a place I would be fond of. Here's the description from the webpage:

Fifty miles east of Meridell there stands another castle, in a kingdom ruled by King Hagan the Wise (better known as the older brother of that scruffy oaf Skarl). The kingdom is known as Brightvale, a bastion of peace, knowledge and really lovely ornate windows.

Ooo, stained glass!!!

BrightVale contains three new shops as well:

Brightvale Books

The Scrollery

There's even a new Wheel, added to our Links to the left, of course.

Neopet Glitches!
avi Well, it seems the Neopet guild pages aren't working. You may have noticed this if you tried to post a message. Well, if you'd like to chat we have our Vale Forums for just such an emergency. I'll check back a couple times a day to see if anyone posted. Again, the forums link is to the right, under member services. I hope it can be a help, while Neopets is having difficulties.

Down for Maintenance!
avi The Neopets site seems to be down for maintenance. It's been down since roughly 10:00 p.m. NST last night and is still down now, at 5:00 a.m. NST. I have no idea when it will be back up. If you have any information about the current down time, or questions you'd like answered, comment on this update and I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

In the mean time, since I luckily saved this to my computer, hopefully this Ruki image will entertain us. =)

Avatars and Updates

We now have an avatar guide telling you how to get all the secret avatars, an avatar lending section that we will start operating very soon, and lots of new blogs for your shops. I also added the Neopian Calendar with the closest special day highlighted.

I've also decided to put the important Neopets news updates right here on our updates page. That means almost everyday new updates from the neopets news page will be here on our updates page.

Send in all your thoughts on the updates with our contact page. I can't wait to hear what you think. =)

Submissions and Things

There will be a quest every so often from Iyana and the prize will definitely be worth the wait. At the time that it's up, the first person to neomail me telling me they have the item will win the prize. Important: You must also have item in your trades at this same time. Luckily times are recorded all over Neopets, so it'll be easy to see who got what first.

Happy treasure hunting! =)

Advertisements!
avi We have some great new advertisements to promote the guild with. They're under the ads section to the left.

One of our first contests is the Referral Contest. You can read all about it on its page but to sum up: we need lots of people to join our guild, so whomever refers the most people will get a prize!

A short introduction
avi I'd just like to say "Welcome!" to all our new members. I'm very honored to be the second person to post here on The Verdant Vale's News Updates.

A bit of advice: There's tons of useful information in this website and, although a bit much to take in all at once, everyone should try to read most of it eventually. But for starters, the rules, the welcome gifts, the giveaways, and the neoboard codes are probably the best places to start as they have the most pertinent information for new members and the success of the guild.

Also, the referral contest is very important. Not only does it give out a prize but we need members to make this guild succeed.

And I promise to have my profile up soon. But for now, yes my name really is Iyana, so how could I not join this guild dedicated to her?
8th July 2004 - posted by Iyana

Welcome Everyone!
avi This is the first update at the new website. We are all very excited here at the Vale and hope you all are too. As you'll see we have some great giveaways ready to go, as well as, some new contests that will be starting shortly and just some helpful neopets information that we thought would be useful for you, our Vale members.

While looking at all the new features please be sure to check out the rules page so everyone will be able to enjoy themselves while here. Also, feel free to read the Council Profiles that will be up as soon as they are submitted. I'm looking forward to a great future and I can't wait to run into you on the guild message boards. =)
