Last month, winter kept its icy grip about the land; yet along with the snow and cold came new Item Magic spells, pack toys, and the loot of vanguard leaders. One can only wonder what additions -- and what dangers -- will be added when we open our March event, ~~“Spring~~'s Sorrows.”		Unlike any other gaming experience, the world of Asheron's Call continues to evolve.

	The first month of springtime has come at last, marking the launch of our ''“Spring's Sorrows”'' event! The Hopeslayer has fallen and, as with the former winter snows, the Undead wane in strength and power. Even the Shadows, once dire invaders of the land, no longer bother to curse those adventurers who slay them. Yet despite all sense of victory, a suspicious pallor still haunts the season.

Also, the trades of crafting and selling are always in flux, so changes to prices and abilities of items are not always listed here in their entirety.		<br><br>Following is a list of the most interesting additions made to the game this update.
