A weekly look at what's happening around the forums! Tips, community spotlights, Turbine info, and more!
Letter from the Editors
"It's a new year, and time for the Chronicle to get a new look! In addition to some aesthetic changes, two new segments have come to the Chronicle: "Community Spotlight" and "Curious Cube". The Community Spotlight will periodically highlight great efforts put forth by players just like you! From videos, to fan art, or other great displays of DDO and community pride, the Community Spotlight calls out great efforts by our great players!
Meanwhile, the Gelatinous Cube - during its perusing of the forums - comes upon many strange and interesting questions. Some it devours, and others it is intrigued by. Now the Cube has invaded the Chronicle in the newest segment "Curious Cube". The Cube will post questions to the community that it deems interesting in the Chronicle, and it will be watching for answers. If the Cube likes your response, your answer could get features in the next Chronicle! Think your question for fellow players can make it past the Cube's belly and into the next Chronicle as a Curious Cube Question? Try your luck by sending your question for your fellow players to ddo@turbine.com
The forums will also be getting a change up on Monday. Be on the look out for new forums opening, like the new Builds forum, Gameplay forums, and Screenshot forum "Visions of Eberron"!
Thanks for tuning in to the Stormreach Chronicle!"

Helping new or returning players, one topic at a time!
DDO Dictionary: "Larges"
Definition: (Noun, Plural) A type of crafting ingredient used with Eldritch Devices. Some crafting ingredients in the Vale of Twilight and Shroud raid come in tiers of size - small, medium, and large. The term "larges" is derived from the full ingredient names (e.g. Large Devil Scales). "Larges" is often used in reference to more than one large ingredient.

In a world where threads are tasty and posts are food, one Cube has chosen a question.
Now he's looking for answers...
To get us started, Cinoaz (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=29176) asks:
"What's up with the Red Dragon in the Harbor? Was running around the harbor, looked up, and there was a Red Dragon flying around...What's up with that?"
Lorien the First One (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=36875) answers:
"She has been ID'd as the dragon you get to kill in Von6 :D"
Wamjratl1 (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=40206) answers:
"...it's just for flavor. But I'm hoping one day it will swoop down and snatch someone up while they aren't looking."
The Cube's answer:
"Well nothing tastes better than adventurers fresh off the boat from Korthos. Velah must have figured that the Korthos dragon was full, and so you armored snacks are up for grabs."
This Week's Cube Question:
Tarrant (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=200415) asks:
"What's the worst party wipe you've ever had?"
