The Mysterious Scrolls

Before the plot actually began, the news revealed that there would be some new scrolls found around the site. It showed four of them.

In reality there were twelve such scrolls, one for each of the twelve Sakhmetian hieroglyph symbols that players would come to know and love. Each scroll was in one of three styles, and had a wax seal in one of four colors -- red, yellow, blue, or green. The colors of the seals and the styles of the scrolls were totally irrelevant and random (although they were evenly divided so that there were three scrolls of each wax color, and four scrolls of each scroll style).

The scrolls were never made available to players. They were not given out in shops or through random events. They could be searched for by name in the Shop Wizard, but because of the strange names of some scrolls, only about half of them were found this way.

Early on in the plot, three of the scrolls were "released" to fake accounts that we created. We posted on the Neoboards, putting the scrolls in galleries or trades so that players could see them. (No one guessed they were fake accounts. Apparently we're brilliant actors!)
