We have a live aution today at 3:00 PM PST and we've got a big one.
Greetings warriors of charity,
In the name of helping the children of Eorzea, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have collaborated with Garlond Ironworks to unearth this ancient relic from our vaults.
Sadly the aether that used to flow through this sword in ages past is now depleted, but it still looks just as striking for you fashion-concious red mages out there to strut your stuff at the next PAX Limsa-Lominsa, or you can simply display it in your Free Company house as a testament to battles won, and bonds forged.

Finished with acrylic paints and wax polishes, it's a highly detailed and accurate re-creation of the in-game sword.

Somehow, even though it's only day three, we all were feeling a bit eepy today...
But we kept it going just for you! And we even found the present Zeta left us...
Praise the almighty button, I guess?
Today, as usual, we started with a game of Coffee Pong. Matt v Ashley, in a very wild game of frantic throwing!
Ashley managed to win it out in the end, and celebrated with a nice chugging of the excess coffee.
But that wasn't the only game!! As a celebration for Meagan's last day, we pit her against "technically the reigning champ" James Turner!
And despite the odds being against Megan...
And definitely no...rules bending....
She managed to win it out in the end! So congrats to Meaghan, and we will miss your...youthful energy!
Of course once we were done with that, we had to play the daily gameshow! Today's was a custom game of You Don't Know Jack! We got to listen to Ian talk about building stuff...and Beej being Beej. It was a fun time so definitely give it a watch for some fun!
And then we got to be graced with the digital presence of Liz! We miss her dearly, but at least we got to do some chatting and some DISTANCE JENGA!
.....Liz we are very disappointed in your preformance.
But it's ok, she got a second round against Ashton, and she won that one! Technically!
We were so happy to laugh and to cry with Liz, sharing in our joys and grief, and even discussed how close we are to.....$10 MILLION LIFETIME?!
And please don't ask about the bag of hair. It's for the best.
But we are starting to get sleepy again, so we unfortunately need to get out of here so we can be ready for another day. So as much as we'd love to stick around...we'll see you tomorrow!
Just make sure you don't forget your stage friend as you make your way out.

All you have to do is donate $6.28 or multiples thereof, and you've got until 10:45am PST to get your donations in!
Venture into the adorably mysterious world of Tunic with this handcrafted map adapted from the game’s mystical instruction manual. This map would be a great aid to any visitor arriving on these shores. Extra detailing has been added to key locations throughout the region and annotations have been helpfully provided in the local Trunic language.
