“This time, it’s for real…”
*After doing the first dungeon trail, the adventure hasn't left your thoughts. Last night, you dreamed a very peculiar dream in which an old man with a grey beard spoke to you:*
"The first? That was only to see if there is anyone out there that would be worthy at all. Now that I have seen that so many of you have tried and so many have succeeded in finding our first dungeon, I see that it is time to reveal our next one. This ‘quest’, so to say… this ‘mission’ will require you to reach places, most difficult to reach. It will require you to swim deeper than anyone has ever swam and to solve riddles and puzzles that are mind-blowing. It will require you to go through tunnels far and narrow… Finishing such a trail can only be done by those with an inhuman amount of determination, skill and persistence. Those that do not go insane with despair when it seems the road ahead is too hard to take. But then again… Those who are able to do it, will be allowed to gaze upon the wonders of Altera, to see magnificent domes, hewn from the rock. To stand below, on the lowest point of Altera and to end up, bathing in the riches of knowledge and shiny artifacts... I shall say no more, These are… THE DUNGEON TRAILS!"
*You awake sitting straight in your bed, thinking: I have to go and look for that clue!*
First clue will come due time, make sure you click “watch thread” and you will get the notification as soon as the event starts!*After doing the first dungeon trail, the adventure hasn't left your thoughts.

P.S. I am making the trails much harder this time, to ensure that everyone gets an equal chance. You will not be able to solve the entire trail within one go. I will try to make it that hard.
OOC:
What is the story behind all of it?
To read up about the story (which I recommend since this is mostly a roleplay based event) The first dungeon trails: http://hollowworld.co.uk/threads/the-dungeon-trails.26213/
How does it work?
Basically, you have to find clues. The first clue will be given in this thread.
This first clue will lead you to a location In Game on the server. At this location a sign will be hidden, just like all other signs, they are never in an obvious place. The places where the signs can be found are marked by a red piece of wool surrounded by grey pieces of wool in a huge +.
All signs that are part of the Dungeon Trails are marked with D-T. on the first line. On this sign you will find a clue, leading to another place where a sign is hidden. Unravel the riddle on the sign and you will find the next sign. This goes on until the final sign leads to a dungeon, full of traps, loot, and this time: Lore stuff! Lore will be revealed within this dungeon!
An example:
The signs says: " D-T. The Silver harbor has an evil ship..."
How to unravel this mystery: a 'silver harbor' which figuratively is a clue to... Port Silver. (get it?)
In port silver... an evil ship? That must be... the nether boat! (got that one too?) So the next clue is somewhere on the nether boat?! Yes! there you go!
Easy 
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, Don't waste your time looking on that boat lolA few things to remember:
First of all:
It's a RolePlay thing. It's most fun to do it in a group!
Second:
It's less fun to ask in ooc if anyone found it and to tell others where you found the sign. It's also not smart, because you want to make more progress than the other participants of course!
Third:
I insist on not using fly for this, because it will ruin the fun for others, it will also ruin the fun for you and it is illegal [<-- fun fact: results in a temp ban in this particular situation.]
Fourth:
You cannot tell at which sign you are "I'm at the sign in Port Silver" Because that gives away where the clue is.
You can tell at which sign you are "I'm already at the 5th sign!" Because that tells us how far your progress is and you can boast around like a boss.
When people are all stuck on the same sign, I might give an additional clue,
when people haven't found anything in too many days / weeks, I will give an additional clue
I will never tell you exactly where you can find a sign.
Hey people of HollowWorld? Have FUN!
People that joined last time that might find this interesting again:
