The Cheruscan Scroll is a black scroll that is being passed around the Midnight Ocean courtesy of the crew Keel Appeal, collecting the names of those pirates who are lucky enough to have encountered it on its travels. The purpose of this event is to promote the use of the YPPedia and fellowship amongst pirates from different crews and flags.

The Event

  • Start date: Easter Sunday - April 8th, 2007

  3. Contact anyone in the crew Keel Appeal. To see who is online at the moment, do a /cwho Keel Appeal and send us a /tell.

A Rewarding Experience

There will be an uncertain number of uncertain prizes uncertainly attached to this event. The uncertain nature of the prizes and the uncertain conditions on which they will be given is a certain secret. The uncertainty is due to the fact that we do not want to encourage certain behaviors that can have a negative effect on the event.
