Trivia Tuesday: What's this "Twitter Tag Game"?
That is how I was like yesterday. As Christina Lionrider later told me, the Twitter Tag Game is when you share 5 things/facts about yourself and you tag/nominate 5 others to do the same. When I finally figured out what it was, I was eager to be nominated for it but most people had already done theirs.... When I thought all hope was lost, Jason Goldenshield and Sorceress Miklai had extra spots to nominate so I got the chance to tell you all a few things about me! Since today is also Trivia Tuesday, I figured why not put the two together and do something interesting. So.. Let's get to it!
#TwizardIceBucketChallenge
Hello there wonderful people,
Blaze Shadowhorn here to talk to you about something that has hit the nation by storm. Over the past few weeks, people all around the United States and Abroad have taken a bucket filled with very cold water and ice and dumped it on their heads. You may wonder why they are doing this and I am here to explain that to you.
Ermergerd - Spiral Cup Gauntlet!!
Hey everyone!How are you doing? Recently my luck took a turn for the better. Silverleaf or WizFanGirl as she is known on Twitter has been generously hosting Twitterdraw's on her account. I was out for lunch with my family and all of a sudden I got a tweet saying, "The winner of our Twitterdraw for the Spiral Cup Gauntlet is: @BlazeShadowhorn CONGRATS! A DM will be sent with the code shortly." I was like, wait what? Did this just happen? And following that I basically fangirl freaked out that I had won lol. After doing some research and putting some thoughts together, I came up with a conclusion on how I feel regarding the Spiral Cup Gauntlet. Let's just say that this Gauntlet is probably one of the better ones (in my opinion) and here is why.
Fifth of July Party Recap
Another successful Shadowhorn party has come and gone. The first ever Fifth of July party was a complete success! Despite only giving a days notice, close to 100 people showed up and it was packed! Thanks to publicity from tons of twizards, bloggers, and a Facebook event page, it all turned out really well!
Quick Catch Up & Fifth of July Party!

First of all, I just wanted to say sorry for not being able to post often. Due to time zones and being busy every day of every week, it's been hard to find time to type except for right now haha. I still have another month and a half before I get back to the states but I'm enjoying every minute out here with my friends and family. How was your Fourth of July? Did you guys have a BBQ or watch fireworks? Maybe go to an in game party? Sadly, due to being out of the country, I didn't get to fully celebrate the Fourth so I figured why not do something on the fifth for it? I used to do huge Fourth of July in game parties so I decided that I was going to do one on the fifth since the fourth already passed. After all, they say everything is better the day after, right? All of the party information is bellow so trust me when I say you wont want to miss this one.
A Warm Welcome
Hello there Wizards and Pirates alike! It is I, Blaze Shadowhorn. As many of you may have noticed, this past year I was inactive as I had retired from the Kingsisle gaming community and moved on to focus on school and other things. The thought of coming back has been in the back of my mind for quite some time. Sadly, I knew what my priorities were and decided to focus on my schooling and real life. A little over a week ago, I was looking through my laptop photos looking for a photo to post on my friends Facebook for his birthday. I came across something that brought back grand memories. In a sub-folder hidden away, I found a recording my mom made of when I co-hosted the first episode of my retired Podcast – Spiral Live alongside co-host Nicholas Lionrider. My, did it bring back memories.
The next day, my mom and I were talking and she told me the
following, “Do what you want in life. You will only find happiness if you truly
are passionate about something.” This got me thinking. Wizard101 was something
that I had played since 5th grade. If you didn’t know, I’m currently
in 11th. Nearly 7 years of my life I have spent playing both
Wizard101 and Pirate101 and I realized that this is one of the only things that
has always given me unconditional happiness. If I was ever down, I did a few
quests and caught up with many of you. I was telling my friend last week that I
have truly made the best friends throughout my years of playing Wizard101 and
Pirate101. Throughout the past year, I kept in touch with some of you and would
check up on the news once in a blue moon but I’ve missed being a part of the
community and I have realized that this is what I need to do. Blogging,
questing, and just hanging with all of you makes me happy and I so I decided to
make a return to the community to be with all of you. You may be wondering what
is new or going to change on the blog. Well I’ve got a ton of great ideas so
keep reading to see what’s new!
Let's Get CRAZY!!!! (CONTESTS!!!!)
Review of the First Annual Wizardly Awards!
The twittersphere has been blowing up the all day with Wizards from around the spiral tweeting about the First Annual Wizardly Awards. The hashtag #WizardlyAwards was seen EVERYWHERE as people said who they thought would win which awards, what it was like, and much more! Host Angel Ice did a magnificent job holding the awards in his Myth House which was full to the gills!
In the rest of this post, I'll be giving you a rundown of the whole event, who won what award, exclusive interviews with the creator of the Wizardly Awards: Tyler Battlewalker, one of the hosts for the night: Angel Ice, the winner of three awards: Kelsey Fireheart, and the fabulous Lindsey Goldengrove who was the photographer. In addition to all of that, I will be doing an overview of the private after party and what it was like with some amazing photos and a special video made by those who attended the after party. Plus get the inside scoop on next years Wizardly Awards such as where and when they will be!
Blaze's Weekly Overview Post! (1st ever!!!) With Prizes!
Yo yo you Wizzys! You are here for the first ever Blaze's Weekly Overview Post!!! I kinda took the idea from Nick but me and him are bros so he wont care :P Basically I am going to talk about this whole weeks topics in just one post!!! Your probably like, Blaze... You never do this! You like your separate posts...I feel like doing this because I am behind on my posts and this is to catch up lol.
Myth Questing in Marleybone.
So yea my myth is almost done Marleybone! Just have a few more instances then I am done. I am lazy to include pictures and more detail for this sub-post cause it's boring so onto the next sub-post!!!
Test Realm!!!
Yup the test realm is up! Although it doesn't involve new worlds or anything I still think it is pretty cool :) Here is what's being tested:
- The Black Panther is now in the Crown Shop!!!
- Maps have been updated for game worlds (Grizzleim and Celestia)
- New Housing Signs are available in the Crown Shop!
- Ability to place items in water in Sunken Palace! (Finally ;)
So lets start with a rundown of all of them in order.
- The Black Panther I like because you can finally get it from the Crown Shop!!! I don't like it because I still have my 15 day rental :P
- The Maps I haven't seen but I heard that there isn't much of a difference except for some new labels on them so that's cool I guess.
- The Housing Signs are where it's at! These are totally epic! You now don't have to worry about wondering who's house your in because you can now get signs that can say 107 different sayings! I definitely want this because it is easier for me to label my houses rather then, Sultans Palace, Storm House, etc. I can now pick from different signs! Some of them include "Gone Fishing", etc. They can range from 500 to 1,500 Crowns plus they come in different designs for every world! Here are some pictures of them from Paige Moonshade:
4. Finally they let us place items in the water of the Sunken Palace! It has been frustrating everyone and this was the only reason preventing me from getting one. It makes it a lot more convenient then the limited open ground that you could place items in.
Starting Wysteria Say What!
Yea you heard right! I finally got crowns and Started Wysteria!!! I am sooooo excited to finally be able to do the amazing story line and well thought out quests. I can't wait to get the Spiral Cup and finally display it in my epicness Trophy Area XD

Halloweens a Comin To The Spiral!
*cue spooky music* Yea buddy! Halloweens a comin to the Spiral!!! Spooky Bob, Jack Hallow, and the whole crew are back to give you a scaring good time this Halloween. With new pets, epic quests and outrageous requests, you'll have a spook of a time :) See I rhymed :P Well to get started. The crews back and Spooky Bob is in the shopping district once again. He's got his spooktacular clothing items and this year he is back with not one, not two, not three but four pets!!! The Black Cat is back as usual but now we have the legendary pet which has been predicted, the Zombie Piggle! We also have the Nightmare, and Ghost Dragon. The Zombie Piggle does not come with a spell but the Nightmare (which was already a hatchable pet) and the Ghost Dragon do! The Nightmare comes with Meteor Strike while the Ghost Dragon comes with Animate (Death Minion Spell). The black cat is 1,500 Crowns, Nightmare is 2,500 Crowns, and the Ghost Dragon is 3,000 Crowns. Here is a picture courtesy of The Diviners Lane.

| Zombie Piggle (Found in Crown Shop not Spooky Bob) |
I must say I spent a good 1,000+ Crowns on halloween items this year, not on pets (because I got Black Cat a few years ago by accident cause I thought it was gold :P) but on clothing! I got the Skeleton Head hat and the Scary Pumpkin staff :) They look epic with my costume XD I will be wearing it the whole month XD How do you like the new blog layout! I think it's pretty epic XD
Yea that's me :) Epic header right XD I have the cancer symbol in the bottom right corner because it is Cancer Awareness Month. Please do your best to remind people to support the fight against Cancer.
I also hung out with my Twin today, Talon Thunderblade and him and I have the same costume!!! Except his is based off of his normal colors :P Check our epic picture from earlier XD

Ravenwood Radio Episode 50!!!
Congrats Stephen and Fallon!!! Ravenwood Radio just had Episode 50!!! They had soooo many prizes to give out. It was between 49 and 51.... Yea they gave out 50 prizes!!! This was a variety of prizes ranging from 750 Crowns-Epic and Mega Bundles! They had so many contest questions it was hard to keep track! Some of them were really challenging though. Anyways Episode 50 was a blast because Steve and Fallon had so many others hosting with them! They had Ditto, Icy, Friendly and a few others. Believe it or not I actually won a contest!!! I won the twitter contest. It was fairly simple. All I had to do was talk about Episode 50 and use the #RR50 hash-tag. I don't know what I won but I believe it is crowns. Thanks again guys for an amazing episode!!! May you keep broadcasting till episode 120!!!
Wyvern's Hoard Card Packs:
What's the deal with the Wyvern's Hoard packs... They have pros and cons. The pros are you can get teleporters, mounts, and amazing items from it. The cons are the low percentage it has of you getting it. I bought 8 Wyvern's Hoard packs and to my surprise I actually got 3 teleporters! Sadly no Wyvern mount :( I also only got 3 items of clothing and tons of housing items :P I want the Mooshu Well housing item :P Contribute to the cause, gift me Wyvern Hoards. ;)
