What the heck? Wasn't it just January?

For the month of August we are running two sales; Phylacteries and Lessons.

Phylacteries may be purchased from the website. They have been slightly tweaked this month to make them a little more standard. We have added six new idols to the possible fragments that can be found in the phylacteries. All possible items that can be found are listed below in and in HELP PHYLACTERIES. We will be monitoring these new items and adjusting them as needed. (wink Sarrius)

The new idols are listed below that and can be found in HELP PROMOTIONS or HELP FRAGMENTS. Remember, idols will be found as fragments. The commands for fragments are in HELP FRAGMENTS.

Secondly, we are running a lesson sale. You may purchase lessons directly from the website at a discount. This is the equivalent of a 40% credit sale. If you're looking for new abilities, this is the least expensive way to get those lessons.

To take advantage of either sale, visit http://www.imperian.com/credits
