In celebration of IRE's 10th Anniversary, we're going to be offering a
5% bonus to all experience gained while questing or bashing for the next
month.

A slightly inebriated dwarf will be roving Aetherius, distributing small
gifts at random intervals to a few people. The more time you spend
online, the more likely you are to receive a gift.
