Here is the summary for yesterday’s Meeting, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs kindly hosted by Doobes!
Also, keep an eye for the comeback of the Guild of Messengers website 
Sunday Music Sessions
Max announced his next Music Session Christmas Special: the event will be today at 12:00 KIT, with some pre-show music starting around 11:30 KIT. The stream is at UruTunes, and the location is the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura.
Dance around the Christmas Tree
Minasunda announced the pre-Christmas party at Mir-o-Bot’s Ae’gura in the Hall of Kings (add the bot, KI 32319, to your list if needed and PM it “meet”). The event will be on December 16 at 13:00 KIT; Eternal Seeker will stream Christmas carols from around the world.
Marker decorations are available from Mir-o-Bot by PMing it “sendme xxxxxxxx”, replacing the xx with 7904155, 6421579 or 6371927. You must have completed the red and green marker calibrations to see the decorations.
A Christmas dance is also planned, along with a magical surprise 
Uru Advent Calendar
The Advent Calendar is back! You can get it from Mir-o-Bot, the code is 7136536. Next, visit Ae’gura and search for the number of the current day. In one of the markers is hidden a link to a video. Only the current and past videos will be available each day, so no peeking ahead!
An easy way to copy the link is using the log file: type “/startlog” before you collect the markers; the log is in Documents/Uru Live/Log. The calendar is also available in Minasunda’s website and on Facebook.
On December 25, an additional video will be released: the Mir-o-Bot code is 6432520.
DRA Ages
Clat, of the Adrael team, visited to say a few words about a recently released video showcasing the work in progress being made on Aaronia, Adrael’s sequel/remake.
Cyan Ventures
Korov’ev presented Cyan’s new project, Cyan Ventures, a new publishing label to foster creative narratives in Virtual Reality gaming and publish new titles by indie developers.
The first game they will publish will be Zed, made by Eagre Games, led by Chuck Carter, who contributed to The Manhole and Myst, but also to Command and Conquer titles, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and other games. The game is targeted for PC, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR and is planned to be released in the spring of 2019.
Of course, Cyan also has its own VR project, Firmament, and is committed to make it happens, although no further details are presently known.
Mysterium 2019
The 20th edition of the convention will be held from Friday, August 2 through Sunday, August 4 at Spokane, WA. The theme will be “Mysterium Through the Ages”, and there will be some additional elements from Ahnonay.
Logo submissions are also officially open: artists are encouraged to integrate the number 20, “Mysterium Through the Ages”, Ahnonay, Spokane, or Cyan in their designs. Submissions are due by by Friday, January 4.
August will not be the only event in 2019, though: there is a project, named Mass Mysteria, to make a mini-convention in other locations in the U.S. and in other countries. So far, there are volunteers from a dozen US states, Brazil, Australia, the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
The mini-convention is planned for a May weekend, with an alternate date in case of bad weather.
D’ni Language Classes
One more student has completed the 101 class! A few groups are still making their way through, at various stages. There will be no classes on December 24, 25, 31 and January 1.

In the next weeks, Story Night Europe will be covering the events from the Fall. Original Story Night will finishing the events of The Fall and start the events from Myst: The Book of Atrus.
As usual for this season, thunderstorms can cause power outages; in that case, r’Tayrtahn will try to contact someone from the regular audience, so they can relay his situation.
