A Special First Anniversary Community Spotlight!

It has been an amazing year, and a huge reason for that is because of you, our Community!  And once a month, we shine our Community Spotlight on one of those amazing community members, fan sites, or player groups who make the Shroud of the Avatar Community the best that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. So, as we celebrate our one-year Anniversary, it seemed fitting that we should take another look back at some of our most favorite Community Spotlights!

Our very first Community Spotlight featured one of our favorite fan sites, Forsaken Virtues; and Dame Lori is still one of our favorite Community Leaders!  Not only did she set the bar for what a fan site can be, she created the Runic Font you see everywhere in game!  She is currently re-imagining the Forsaken Virtues site to be more than a news hub, and we can’t wait to see what she comes up!

The Poet’s Circle and it’s founder, Holt Ironfell has been featured several times in our Community Spotlight, both for his Bardic Tales and his SotA themed Minecraft Server, but what the Poet’s Circle is currently most famed for it’s contribution to the music crowd-sourcing for Shroud of the Avatar!  Bravo!

Speaking our community crowd-sourcing, we’d also like to give a shout out to another Community Spotlight recipient, The College of Arms!  Our heralds are not only helping the community generate their own Coat of Arms, but are also working with us to get them game!

And I wouldn’t want to close out without mentioning two of our favorite resource sites, Baron Violation and the SotAWiki and The MadHermit Gaming YouTube channel.  If you need to know something about crafting, housing, or game play, chances are, you can find out more about it there!  And even though I couldn’t give a shout out to everyone featured over the past year, you can go back and revisit all of our Community Spotlight articles right here!

And in looking back, I can’t help but get excited enough to want to give you a peek forward at some of the sites and community leaders we’ll be featuring in the coming year. From Lady Amber-Raine and Avatar Radio  to the wonderful folks over at Shroud of the Avatar Role Players Community, I can’t wait to introduce you to every single one of them!

In closing, I have a suspicion that our amazing community will continue to dazzle us, so remember, if you see someone making amazing contribution to our Shroud of the Avatar community, be sure to drop me a line at community@portalarium.com and introduce us so that I can feature them.

See you in the Spotlight!
