An announcement went up today on Turbine's DDO site, from a Countess Alinda:
Greetings, citizens of Stormreach! I am Countess Alinda d'Phiarlan, and I bring you fair tidings in a time of uncertainty.
The sight of the crater where the beautiful Marketplace tent once stood is an unmistakable reminder of the horrors our city has faced in recent times. It has been a dark time in our fair city, but the Coin Lords have teamed up with the House Phiarlan to uplift the spirits of the people of Stormreach in these times of peril. Therefore, I'm happy to announce that there will be an inaugural event for the brand new Phiarlan Event Theater!
Beginning tonight, and throughout this weekend, the Coin Lords will open the doors for a brief time to allow interested citizens to get their first glimpses of this new arena and participate in an evening of Trivia. Seating is limited, but if you miss your chance to explore the theater at the inaugural event, be on the look out for the next opportunity at the next Live Event!
Amid the chaos of Shavarath's attacks, event host Sir Lawrence d'Deneith went missing. We searched for him in vain, as well as other missing citizens, and all signs seemed to point to an untimely demise at the clawed hands of Shavarath devils. We had given up all hope... until now. Rumors have surfaced that Sir Lawrence has been spotted (though no one has been able to offer concrete evidence of these appearances). Perhaps it is destiny that he will be returned to us just as the Coin Lords and House Phiarlan have completed their work on a new structure for city beautification. With luck and the strength of numbers, we can set things right. Until Sir Lawrence d'Deneith can be accounted for, in the near future, the duty of hosting events will fall upon myself and the other envoys of the Coin Lords: Lord Wilrian d'Kundarak, Baroness Kessete d'Jorasco, and Captain Stephian d'Orien. We will also be heading up the investigation into Sir Lawrence's disappearance. We ask that any citizens who encounter Sir Lawrence in their travels come forward with information.
In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy the new event theater, and look forward to bringing you more events in the theater soon!
