As you tread the cobblestones of Ethgard’s town square, a weathered noticeboard looms before you. A parchment flutters in the breeze, nailed firmly in place, decorated with a drawing:
Good people of Ethgard!
A NEW UPDATE has arrived, unveiling a grand marketplace within our settlement! Forged by the Seaport protocol — the same arcane craft that fuels the fabled OpenSea. A place to barter your hard-earned treasures with ease, and to seek out the elusive cards and relics yet missing from your collection.
Venture forth and see for yourself at $EgLCom#MrkPlAc
Curious, you scrutinize the final line, deciphering its true meaning: https://ethgardlegends.com/marketplace
After writing down the link, another parchment below peaks your attention, its words bold and urgent:
The hour to claim your Free Alpha Pack draws NEAR! Only twelve days remain — on the 1st of April, 2025, it vanishes!
If you stood as a Hive stakeholder with 1,000 Hive Power or a Splinterlands stakeholder with 10,000 SPS, and lent your voice to Governance in 2024, this prize is yours to claim.
The shadow of gas fees has lifted, making the claim truly free. Seek out your inventory and claim what is rightfully yours!
As you finish reading, you glance around — the town square is alive with murmuring Ethgardians, all drawn by the news. Pulling your hood lower, you make your way toward the marketplace, blending into the crowd, your thoughts set on the treasures that await.
