The Christmas Elf has returned to Marada just in time for Christmas! Make your account look festive with lots of red and green because Elf will be visiting profiles, looking for members with a festive themed doll and rewarding them with gifts. Elf will also be showing up on the forums with give aways for deserving players who have festive dolls, signatures and avatars. You could get rare and retired items or even a festive LE pet. There are 4 new Elf Prizes to be won this year!



You do not have to have a festive costume, you can dress up your doll in red, green and gold or silver and white for a frosty look.

There is a shortage of Gobbles in Marada. With Talon frightened that he will be cooked instead, he has hired a replacement Zurple until December 11th. Zurple is Burple's colourful sister, Burple is Gurple's even uglier cousin and Murple is Burple's best friend's neighbour. Murple is an original Gobble, too ugly and unpalatable to be eaten. Are you brave enough to fight him in the Battle Arena? Visit the Talon Quest page and start a quest. You then battle and win against Zurple and go back to the quest page to complete it. He will reward you with MP or these new Thanksgiving Prizes that will retire after December 11th.
