Nature Seal challenge clues

Svorai

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had the Nature Seal clues from 2012 (or 2011)?

I scoured the oldforums for them, but it seems all I could find was someone asking for the clues to be put up -- not the clues themselves ( and oh, now it seems I can't even search the oldforums ;_; )

If any of you log-hoarders have them, I would be very appreciative! Nature Seal was 21 January 2012 -- not sure of the date for 2011.

Thanks!

Thanks for that! Here are the clues I found in my logs (although since I only heard them on chatter, I don't know where they go):

You lift a brass clockwork spyglass to your eye to peer through it. With your little eye, you spy...

Tiny eggshell fragments strewn across the ground, mingling with the sun-bleached bones of small animals. Meshed fencing contains its fowl inhabitants, who rise and fall by anyone's accord.

A swirling blizzard, its thick flakes dissolving as they touch the water of a chill lake, where great chunks of ice barely break the surface.

Great, rotting stalks coiling around a grove of perished mushrooms. A rank, scum-laden spring bubbles at its heart, foul and unwholesome.

A marble statue of Emperor Ladantine VII, surrounded by a defensive ring. A single, rusty axe sticks out of the statue's head.

A mushy mass of undergrowth covered in withered petals and tramped leaves, while naked stems of flowers weakly pierce upwards through the muck, dripping a foul and toxic fluid.

A gate that stretches twice the height of a man and the width of four healthy steeds and composed of thick, twisted black iron.

A kitchen stained with lopsided shelves and counters cut into the walls themselves, with an assortment of small carcasses decorating another wall.

Five enchanted rocks, each smooth and oval-shaped, resting in individual niches in the walls of a perfectly spherical chamber, while great, swirling patterns have been strewn in clumpy white chalk across the chamber's floor, connecting each stone.

A drawing room draped in whites and pale yellows, with soft-toned light wood paneling and long, elegant divans upholstered in yellow silks against its walls. Crystal sconces flicker with ivory candles' light, with bowls of potpourri lending a pleasant floral scent.

A monument to the past, formed solely of massive, sun-bleached bones that pierce through a vast expanse of sand, wearing only the sun-and-sand-dried, mummified flesh as a tattered funeral shroud.

A discarded quill, dripping ink, left tossed upon a desk, surrounded by towering books, while a lone furrikin works endless hours sorting, studying, reading.

A veritable jungle of helictites, some distance from the winding, dank path, while their omnipresence offers a subtle hymn to natural entropy.

Thick vines that wrap about the base of a towering oak tree, climbing over and around the intertwined branches to form a visible walkway overhead. Small thorns and flowers dot the vine's length, yet stay clear of what may just be the main path for travel.

Cresting mountains, high peaks threatening to rake the passing sky, white-capped spears in readiness. A crumbling statue of a paladin falls, revealing a secretive path high above the mountain's own.

Warm ocean spray rising up over the bow, where you see yourself standing with your spyglass, while an alabaster-walled city gleams and glistens in the distance.

A miniature forge, its massive forging hammer resting against it. A flame flickers within the forge, in honour of a long dead king.

An open pasture, where great insects happily roam beneath an artificial lambency, where no true sun shines.

A fountain, resplendent in gold, near a staircase that spirals down to a lower floor. Small channels have been dug into the marble, reaching out from the fountain into the depths of an otherwise indiscernable complex.

The inside of a carriage, with soft, leather-cushioned seats and a small door, through which you can see the draconic driver.

Crystalline halls that shimmer with energy, four logic crystals humming with elemental vibrations, patiently waiting for a master who will never return.

Sorry, I do not; I was rather hoping someone else would, but it's looking a bit scarce.

If someone can get me the exact date for the 2011 challenge, I can probably get it. I thought I was around for the 2012 challenge, but I guess I wasn't.

Seal of Nature

Date: January 21, 2012
Time: 8:30 p.m. PST
Event: Who knows the geography of Lusternia best? This challenge consists of a scavenger hunt to find out the answer. The winner will receive the Seal of Nature.

Edit: Oh dang, I'm sorry, Ssaliss. I read your post wrongly.

Edit: The announce post for 2011 nature was 1/22/2011 at 2:08, and the announce posts for justice was 1/16/2011 at 0:49. So it's likely in between those two. I can't narrow it down, as the page for 2011's ascension appears to have been updated while it was progressing, and they removed the dates when they were done with that particular event.

Ssaliss, once again, proves to be amazing.
