A weekly, weekend event was created, spearheaded by the user '''Matzur''' and several others. Eventually, '''Teloch''' and the [[Guild:Priests of Arisetsu]] took over the responsibility of running the events. Organization of the event was passed to [[Guild:Rowen Trading]] in August 2019.

Many of you may remember the epic 3-day event held by the Priests of Arisetsu around Ri-Shin in 2018. This year, we’re planning to keep the mega-event legacy alive. As this is around the feast that beings outside Alharth often dedicate to St. Valentine, we gift this event in the name of Elshana, our Muse. Lore factoid: Elshana is Arisetsu’s first daughter -- see, the Priests live on! Rowen Trading, and other guilds including the Circle of Mystics, will be celebrating with an event featuring plenty of games and prizes in Serbule from February 14 to 16. Along with a few Cauldron Parties, we will have games, raffles, and giveaways. The games include "Drunk Deer Tag", "Hide and Seek", Trivia challenges, and more; with fabulous prizes for first, second, and third places. "Drunk Deer Tag", also known as "what, where’d they go!?", will involve us chasing each other as deer, and "booping" others in place of saying "tag, you’re it" ("booping" in this case also includes opening trade.). Other games will be announced before they start. There will be raffles of all sorts of prizes, such as piles of councils, items to help you level tough skills, or adding to your stash of goodies. A few of them may include IOUs from our guild members! Some of my favorites are the Fire Magic 1-50 and 1-80 sets and the Jewelry Crafting starter kit. ***Prime events***Friday, February 14, 2020AUS primetime: 8pm AUS AEDT / 4am US EST / 10am EU CET* Games!

To catch the target deer, you need to successfully open trade with them. After a catch, the target deer gets a 10 second head start for the next round. Note: we want the hunting deer to be feeling the effects of the alcohol so no Monger’s Boons, please. Anyone with a purple glow will not qualify for that prize. }};Event Dates* February 14 - 16, 2020.* April 23 - 25, 2021.

Ultimately, a prize smaller than the previously rumored treasure was found by a small group of players, without the aid of the book that supposedly existed to guide them.
{{Spoiler|Click expand to see the complete set of messages|
2/20/16: It was said long ago, a tale handed down generations from my father and his before and so on an and so forth. It is said that there is a treasure of unspeakable wealth and power within the borders of Serbule. The clues of which are said to be plainly before us. It will take a person of great knowledge and perception to uncover those clues and follow them to the treasure. Will that adventurer search alone or with a chosen few? Will they share what the find or horde it all to themselves? It has long been rumoured that the finder of the treasure will become the next Duke of an upcoming region. Are these the ramblings of a random old timer or inside information from a higher power? I suppose only time will tell.
2/21/16: Almost identical message to 2/20. '''REMOVED''': It has been long rumoured that the finder of the treasure will become the next Duke of an upcoming region. '''ADDED''': The signs are clear and in plain sight, yet even those with the best vision don't see them.
3/13/16: Twas a distant fall when the legend truly began. There are many legends that surround the fabled location of the map, but there are those who believe that it lay forgotten in a vast wasteland far from the prying eyes of the council.
3/15/16: Those who seek the answer shall be rewarded with the truth. Seek the hidden tome in the great desert of old for the legend has a beginning, but it to shall have an end.
6/3/16: If there is a timed treasure located somewhere in the Project: Gorgon world, but is not found before its timer expired - did it really exist to begin with?
1/8/17, 7:35PM EST: That which has been lost can certainly be found. An adventurer once found a lost text that lay light onto the list, but the adventurer knew not what he possessed and simply left it with other texts of great knowledge.
1/21/17: Silvonis: Some new person probably has the book lol. If only there was a place where books were stores for everyone to read... I don't understand why it is so hard... if I heard right... there is a book somewhere that explains all that. The real treasure is in your heard and the hearts of your friends. The time spent searching, those good ole times that you will always remember. That is the real treasure.
1/21/2017 (Aesop): ...Transmission Intercepted... "We run. We jump. We swim and play. We row and go on trips, but the things that last forever... Transmission Ends.
1/21/2017, 11:54PM EST (Aesop): If the book remains undiscovered, it may lay in the possession of one who has yet discovered its importance. This could truly spell the end for that once was and may never be again.
1/13/2017, 04:44AM EST (Aesop): The whispers of the wind have revealed that the treasure has reappeared. Will it be discovered?
