	The summer sun has set in Dereth, a new season begun. And while many look fondly back on the events of August -- the competitions of skill, the discovery of chocolate, the adventures in dungeon arenas -- September has inevitably come. And with it, we've opened our latest monthly event, Twilight's Gleaming.		The summer sun has set in Dereth, a new season begun.

However, please note that not all changes have been included -- that would spoil the fun of finding out everything that's been added or changed! Also, some changes provide ways for players to drive our evolving story forward, and thus we won't entirely reveal them here. As usual, though, the town criers, barkeeps, and scribes may know the latest news.
