In the Field: The Coalitions of Adoulin

With a simple decree from Ygnas S. Adoulin reinstating the long-abandoned pioneering initiative, Adoulin's social structure and economy changed in a heartbeat, with various organizations known as "coalitions" sprouting up to support the effort.

As such, the coalitions are not as steeped in history as other areas of the nation, but their work has a profound effect on the daily lives of Adoulinians of every stripe and class.

Let us take this opportunity to catch a glimpse of the coalitions through the eyes of one of Adoulin's own.

From Ugly to Outstanding

Pink petals have begun to drift upon the fresh late winter breeze, once again signaling that the Doll Festival is neigh.

The stifled squeals of girls unable to hide their anticipation add to the realm's excitement as they spring out from homes and serenade passersby on the streets.

Further enhancing this season's convivial air is the popularity of memorial dolls from the east being adopted for use in the festival. Yet for every glee-filled giggle emitted by children around this time of year, there should be an equal number of tears shed for the dolls forgotten and left gathering dust in back corner boxes. Should you feel even the slightest of watery swellings at the corners of your eyes while reading this, please, take your doll out of its box or basement and let it feel the refreshing early spring breeze and let her know you care.

Also, may the winds of fortune blow heartily upon Vana'diel's little women, bestowing them with health and happiness in the coming year. Perhaps more would be blessed with good fortune if they were to spend more precious moments with their inanimate loved ones.

Dust off this account of one such doll that remained neglected for years and see what a little love and magic can do.

The contest will come to an end on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 12:01am (PST), so if you are still putting the final touches on your layout or have yet to begin, there is still time to get everything in order! However, the Tender Bouquet needed for this contest, which is only from the Valentione's Day event, will only be available until Friday, February 15, 2013 at midnight, so don't delay!

A Farewell to Cookies and a Greeting to Arms

Ask any person who's been to that far western continent, and they'll tell you that the most sought after souvenir from Adoulin is a bag of trail cookies.

The twelve imposing swords that adorn the blue background of the package stand out as symbols of strength and freedom, so who wouldn't be tempted by such powerful imagery when searching for a quintessentially Ulbukan gift?

One Elvaan merchant from San d'Oria certainly couldn't resist their call, gazing in awe at a flyer for the special sale a local vendor was running on them.

As a token of appreciation to all the pioneers who were helping to colonize the continent, every bag of these succulent confections would contain a baker's dozen instead of the normal twelve...for a limited time only!

Swayed by the sophisticated sales tactic, the man practically tripped over himself to procure a bag, unbeknownst to him at the time that his newly purchased prize was about to spark the most heated conflict his sons had ever known...
