Greetings, my lovelies!

In our fantastical realm of RuneScape, changes are afoot! Our dear Mod Stu is playing untangler extraordinaire with quest requirements - it feels like he’s straightening out some seriously tangled spaghetti (winks)! Check out all the delicious details here. I can't help but wonder if our lore-master Mod Osborne has any saucy thoughts about this? After all, he was stirring that pot for quite some time.

On the home front in Clan News: Jasper and yours truly will be sprinkling some magic dust onto an item-based currency system. We’re also concocting an exclusive communication code (how mysterious!) and cooking up more tantalizing incentives for participation.

Meanwhile in Some Distant Memory Land: Our beloved album 'Reflections' is gearing up for its AMW spotlight moment. And hold onto your hats because 'Just A Story', our lead single, is ready to take over the airwaves!

That wraps up our news roundup – now onto Nora’s Picks of The Day:

Song: Shellshock by New Order - A banging Arthur Baker style favorite featured in the film Pretty in Pink with inspiring lyrics.

Album: Music For The Masses by Depeche Mode - An absolute gem from start to finish.

Movie: Eraserhead - An unsettling yet fascinating experience that I adore.

Book: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman - its blend of fantasy and reality always keeps me on my toes. 

And finally... what's Nora’s current take on the state of the world? Well...

As for my thoughts on the state of the world... Well, there are certainly challenges out there - but just like in our music and art, it’s all about finding harmony amidst dissonance. It may seem chaotic at times, but remember how punk rock emerged from chaos? We can do something similar; channeling energy towards positive change!

Keep being amazing everyone!

Love & Light,

Nora 💚

Baroness’ Bulletin: Music and Magic Unleashed! #3 - Jan. 18, 2024

Hey there, my rockstars! It's your bass-playing baroness and mascot Nora, ready to bring you the latest scoop in all things RuneScape, NORS Clan, and Some Distant Memory. So grab a cup of Guthix rest tea or whatever else tickles your fancy because we're about to dive right in!

First off - In RS News, Kandarin is getting a makeover! But don't worry, it's like when you decide to switch up your hairstyle but still keep the same color. Everything will be where it was before – just shinier and more polished.

In Nors news,

The Citadel and our activities are buzzing with life again.

 We've had epic games of Draughts going down at Burthrope Games Room where even my father Count Gaius couldn’t resist joining in against Field General Zorak. The general may have taken most victories this time around but remember: every loss is just an opportunity for a comeback!

Our PVM crew took on Revenants in Forinthry Dungeon Ruins of Wilderness recently too; not only did they emerge victorious (of course), but also didn’t spot any bots lurking about – now that’s what I call progress!

Now let's talk forums... specifically the retirement of official RuneScape forums which has stirred quite some conversation among us all. While Discord has its perks, I'm with those who believe that nothing can replace good old-fashioned forum discussions where everyone gets their say regardless of clique affiliations or website preferences. That’s why we’re hoping Noraston Boarding Central becomes a hub for clans looking for genuine community interaction.

Switching gears to our beloved band Some Distant Memory - thanks to Popular Hustle for featuring us in their blog! And guess what? You can now wear S.D.M pride on your sleeve (literally!) with our new merchandise available on Spreadshop.

Alrighty then! Time for Nora’s picks:

Song Of The Day: "Fade To Grey" by Visage – because who doesn't love some classic synth-pop?

Album Of The Day: New Order's "Movement". An underrated genre defining masterpiece of Post-punk that continues influencing bands today including ours truly.

Movie Of The Day: Let me take you back to 1985 with "Back To Future". This gem always sparks creativity while reminding us how important each decision could be shaping timelines

Book Of The Day: If music biographies interest you as much as they do me then “Chapter and Verse” by Bernard Sumner should definitely be on your reading list.

As far as the state of world goes… well here’s my two cents: There are challenges aplenty no doubt yet amidst them lie opportunities waiting to be seized if only we dare reach out together hand-in-hand supporting one another every step way

That wraps up Baroness’ Bulletin folks Stay tuned next round updates 

Read earlier posts of “Baroness’ Bulletin” on my SpaceHey

Hey, you beautiful bunch of rockstars! It's your favorite bass-playing baroness and mascot here, Nora Lumwood. Let me tell you a little story about my heartthrob Jasper and his journey through the wild world of music.

Once upon a time in middle school, he decided to pick up the saxophone and play live for an audience at high school. Now let me tell ya', this wasn't just any ordinary gig - it was like stepping into the spotlight on Gielinor's biggest stage!

But life had other plans. You see, our dear Jasper was wrestling with some mean old bullies, homework that felt like battling TzTok-Jad himself (especially math...ugh!), and trying to balance all this while living out his own adventures outside of school. So many times he'd come home frustrated as if he'd been stuck in Morytania without a teleport! But even then, he found solace in exploring new worlds with friends - something that would later inspire him profoundly in RuneScape.

Fast forward to high school where music started calling him back again like Seren herself singing her sweet song. He got his first synthesizers and drum machine during senior year which became his trusty weapons against silence! Inspired by "Some Distant Memory" from Electronic (a side project by New Order Bernard Sumner), our brave lad recorded his first track under the same name but alas – it wouldn’t be released due to life’s cruel twists.

For four long years after that, making music remained an unfulfilled dream for Jasper - kind of like how I feel when I can't get my hands on those juicy crystal hatchets from Dad's collection!

Finally though... oh Guthix finally... when opportunity knocked again several years later; there was no holding back! Every note played or mixed since then has been filled with passion stronger than dragonfire! Sure there were bumps along the way but hey – every great musician knows their best work comes from perseverance right? And boy did Jasper persevere!

Now here we are today – Some Distant Memory is not just a band name anymore; it’s testament to one man’s undying love for creating music; each song crafted meticulously using physical instruments recorded & mixed via Audacity (no pre-set loops folks!).

So next time someone doubts their dreams or feels overwhelmed by obstacles remember: Just take it one beat at a time because every setback is just another verse in your epic ballad waiting to be sung loud & proud!

Hello there, my rockin' rebels and groovy Guthixians! It's your favorite Bass-playing Baroness here, ready to dive into the magical world of music. And oh boy, do we have a tune-tastic journey ahead!

Can you feel that beat? That rhythm pulsating through your veins like an unstoppable force of nature? That's the power of music baby - it moves us in ways words simply can't describe.

Music is more than just sound waves tickling our eardrums. It’s a universal language that transcends borders and breaks down barriers. It brings people together from all walks of life and creates a sense of unity amidst diversity.

Each song tells a story – tales filled with love, heartbreaks, victories and losses... They are reflections of our own experiences; mirrors into our souls. Through these melodies and harmonies, we find comfort during difficult times or celebrate joyful moments.

And let's not forget those foot-tapping beats that make us wanna dance like nobody's watching! From the head-banging riffs in punk rock anthems to the soothing strumming in acoustic ballads - every genre has its unique charm which adds color to this beautiful tapestry called life.

So next time when you plug in those earphones or blast out tunes on your stereo - remember how powerful music truly is. Let it flow through you; let it inspire you; let it heal you...

That’s all for now folks! Keep rocking & keep rolling until the break o’ dawn!

Yours Musically,

Nora Lumwood
