Lovers around the world rejoiced at the recent news of Erollisi Marr's reviviscence during the Goddess Risen event. To further celebrate the Goddess of Love and the Hunt, the Sisterhood of Erollisi, along with Aaronolis Swornlove, will be seeking assistance in New Halas throughout Erollisi Day. Dalron Pinot and his cheesy love lines makes a return while Diana Heartstrings and David Torchsong are hopeful that some adventurers will help them play matchmaker.

There are a couple of new quests available this year at the Cairn of the Huntress in New Halas. Players who haven't played matchmaker before should complete that task first before visiting Aaronolis and the Sisterhood of Erollisi. The Hearts a'Flutter contests in Antonica and the Commonlands have been revamped and a new grand prize has been added.

Creatures around Norrath will be dropping hard candies and love notes again, which can be used in crafting, consolidated into a single type or exchanged for event currency. Spend your Erollisi Coins at Steven and Douglas, who are found in East Freeport or Qeynos Harbor. Douglas offers 13 new merchant goodies this year which include Dungeon Maker spawners and activators. Steven's newest recipe scroll has 15 additional holiday themed items to craft.
