Events in the Cavern
☛ On Monday 3, Skyisblu will make a Dutch baby pancake, a poufy pancake that can be made either savory or sweet, topped with all sorts of tasty things, and can be served for just about any meal.

☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check our calendar. Times and events may change at the last minute; you can find the latest updates at:
D'ni Language Classes
Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D'ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Augur completed the final exam and passed the D'ni 101 class; votahret ah'shem khe-bahrtahtahvom!
Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.
D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
- Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r'Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
- The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
- Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student's schedule.
- Evening openings are on Monday to Friday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student's schedule.
- Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them "advert".
R'Tayrtahn's Story Nights
Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the stories of the 33th king, Rikooth. The rest of the month they will talk about king Kerath, the years between Kerath and the Fall, and the D'ni culture that existed up to the Fall.
In honor of International Women's Day, on Saturday 8 there will be a special story: 'Strong Women in D'ni History'.
Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D'ni. As this year the holidays fall mid-week, there will be stories for the entire month of December.
R'Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named "I'm a bot, do not message"), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r'Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉
Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like "D'ni" or "linking books", so your mileage may vary 😉
Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
- Story Nights are held in Tsahno's Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
- For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
- On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:00 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
- The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r'Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.
Miscellanea
☛ This month, the
Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island will conclude (for now!) the
Path of the Lost Ages by visiting the
Ruins of Azmar, by Melvin. Then they will visit the first Ages that made it to Uru Live, all by Doobes: the
Guild of Messengers Pub,
Chiso Preniv,
Veelay Tsahvahn. They will also visit
Tiam by Ametist. Next, it will be time for the fourth Age in the
Secret of the Rainbow series by J.J. Jaguar,
Somahoglahn. After that, they will visit
Tovaht Bay and
Ahreesen Melin by Semjay. The month will close with the quest for Quilla’s piano, starting in
Elonin by Dulcamara.
And that was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!
The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, April 5, 2025 (Leenovoo 17) at 13:00 KIT.
Until then!
