==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
The eerily glowing moon signals atop the Spooky Sandcastle have pulled a massive meteor towards Gnawnia! The otherworldly chunk of rock has crashed into Varmint Valley, just south of the Gnawnian Express Station.
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
The cosmic radiation from the glowing chunk of space rock has had a profound effect on the local mice -- they're transforming into powerful weremice at night! The King needs the help of Baron/Baroness (and up) hunters to setup a defensive grid between the meteorite and the rest of Varmint Valley. Get ready to embark on a lycan-slaying, mutant-hunting endeavour, hunters!

====Building Your First Wall====
+
----
The first line of defense you'll build is a basic wall made of sturdy Meteorite Pieces. Fortunately, the mice in Fort Rox seem to be adept at mining and have been spotted carrying massive quantities of Meteorite Pieces around the area. Setup your trap with a Law power type weapon and Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ to start hunting these meteorite-dropping mice!
 
  
Keep an eye out for the Mining Materials Manager Mouse -- this mouse drops the most Meteorite Pieces of all! You'll encounter this mouse most often by using SUPER|brie+.

You can push your meteroite gathering to the extreme by building a Mage Tower at Fort Rox. The tower can be activated by burning Tower Mana each hunt to DOUBLE all your Meteorite Piece loot drops!

====Hunting at Night====
+
==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ====
Once your defenses are prepared, click the "Defend Fort" button on the HUD to indicate you're prepared for the coming night. When night falls, the relatively normal mice change from mild-mannered miners to enraged Weremice!
+
A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''!
  
Each hunt you take during night will bring you closer to dawn. When night first falls, you'll encounter Weremice that are weak to Shadow traps, however, as dawn approaches, more Cosmic Critter mice will appear that are primarily week to Arcane traps. The Fort Fox HUD will help you spot when it's time to change your setup.
+
For the next '''two weeks''', Treasure Maps can now hold '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''!
  
During night, it's best to use one of two lunar-themed cheeses to lure the Weremice and Cosmic Critters towards your trap and away from your wall. If you fail to attract or fail to capture a mouse, it will slip past your trap and assault your wall, causing damage.
+
This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters.
  
'''Crescent Cheese'''<br/>
+
So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started!
Crescent cheese is crafted by combining three Meteorite Pieces and three Curds and Whey. It has an attraction rate slightly better than Gouda during night and will lure a few more mice that drop valuable resources and loot.
 
  
'''Moon Cheese'''<br/>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
Moon Cheese is crafted by combining one Meteorite Piece, three Curds and Whey, and two Magic Essence. It has a near-perfect attraction rate during night and will lure more mice that drop valuable resources and loot!

<span style="font-size: 150%>'''Treasure Map Mega Party'''</span>

*'''250 Moon Cheese'''

'''Other Cheeses and the Battering Ram Mouse'''<br/>
+
If you're still on a map when the event ends, everyone currently on the map remains on it and can finish it! However, new hunters cannot be invited beyond the map's regular size.
Lurking throughout the night is the fearsome Battering Ram Mouse. This mouse has been specially-trained by being constantly exposed to light from the moon in order to keep him in his enraged state. At night, when the moon is out, this mouse will charge headlong towards your fort, unimpeded by traps, and will always cause damage to your wall even if captured!
 
  
However, if you use Crescent or Moon Cheese, the presence of two sources of moonlight will confuse this mouse and send him into a blind, uncontrollable rage, causing him to flee from the battlefield altogether, screaming incoherently.
+
==== The Final Relic Hunter Season has Ended ====
 +
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 +
'''A new goal for the Relic Hunter Mouse'''
 +
</div>
 +
After ten seasons, the Relic Hunter Mouse has finally collected enough Ancient Relics from hunters that she can now begin her archaeological research into the true origin of mice in Gnawnia and why they came here.
  
====Upgrading your Fort====
+
She can still be found traveling around the Kingdom each day while she conducts her research but she will no longer steal Ancient Relics from hunters. Now when a Relic Hunter Mouse is caught, hunters can loot Ancient Relics from her, recovering some of what she had stolen over the years.
*'''Wall'''
 
:Upgrading your wall will increase its health, allowing your wall to withstand more damage during night!
 
  
*'''Moat'''

*'''Ballista'''
+
The Cartographer at the King's Arms has discovered a stash of Relic Hunter Scroll Cases and is now selling them to adventurous hunters for 10 Ancient Relics each.
:The Ballista specifically targets Weremice, Shadow type mice found in the early parts of the night. As you upgrade the Ballista, it will gain more specialized abilities to help capture Weremice.
 
  
*'''Cannon'''
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
:The Cannon specifically targets Cosmic Critters, Arcane type mice that are found as you get closer to dawn. As you upgrade your Cannon, it will gain more specialized abilities to help survive the night and make it to dawn.

*'''Mage Tower'''
+
The Limited Edition rewards of the final Relic Hunter season are gone but a new reward can now be found inside Relic Hunter Treasure Chests: '''Gilded Coins'''!
The Mage Tower is an especially powerful upgrade that has a variety of effects that work both during day and night! The Mage Tower is activated by clicking a button on the HUD. While active, the tower burns 1 Tower Mana each hunt and will cast a variety of spells to boost your hunting!
 
  
As you upgrade and enchant your Mage Tower, it will double certain loot drops, instantly capture mice, heal your wall, and even speed up the night!
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

'''New Ways to Spend Gilded Coins'''
 +
</div>
  
*'''50 Tower Mana'''

Take these Gilded Coins to the King's Arms where you can use them to purchase '''Gilded Trap Skins''', '''Gilded Charms''', or even '''Slayer Scroll Cases'''!
:Double loot drops!
 
*'''150 Tower Mana'''
 
:Domination!
 
  
====Surviving until Dawn====
+
==== Reap the Rewards ====
Once you've upgraded your fort, your defenses should be able to hold back the mice and allow your wall to remain standing when dawn arrives. The rising light summons two more big, bad mice to assault the fort in an epic final showdown: The Dawn Guardian and the Monster of the Meteor.
+
The King's own artisans have released a new assortment of Gilded Trap Skins!
  
During dawn, your wall will still take normal damage when failing to capture these mice. However, each time you defeat the Monster of the Meteor, it will enrage him and his company of guards, causing them all to inflict more damage should you fail to capture them.
+
These breathtakingly beautiful new trap skins can be purchased from the King's Arms using Gilded Coins or from the Premium Shop.
  
The Monster of the Meteor has a chance to drop the most valuable loot found during night -- Silver Bolts and an Animatronic Bird! These strange items can be exchanged at the Fort Rox Trapsmith for a powerful Shadow and Arcane trap, respectively. You can also sell these items on the Marketplace or sell Silver Bolts directly to the General Store for gold.
