Well, one Leprechaun in specific. Aion's latest event has players donning green to get to the secret wealth of Fergus McGreedy!

Daevas rejoice at the new GM event coming to Altreia! This time around, in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, players will have the opportunity to don green in order to scam a near-sighted Leprechaun, Fergus McGreedy, out of his hard-earned wealth. We're not entirely sure how this falls under the "spirit" of St. Patricks Day,  but apparently Shugo bankers have been working day and night to get their hands on Fergus's money and, just recently, they've managed to find the correct tax loophole that they can exploit to get his cash. Of course, Fergus is also aware of the Shugo's clever little tactics and he has decided that the best course of action here will be to give some of his cash away to his fellow leprechauns.

Unfortunately for Fergus, and fortunately for Aion Daevas, Fergus has also managed to lose his glasses - without which he's pretty much as blind as a bat. In this way, Aion players will have the opportunity to grab some green dye for St. Patricks day in order to disguise themselves as Leprechauns to talk to Fergus in the Apellbine and Dionysia taverns of Pandaemonium and Sanctum, respectively. But be careful! Apparently Fergus also has the ability to bring past memories to life, and if he decides to regale all of you Daevas-disguised-as-Leprechauns with his previous adventures, who knows what will happen!

If, however, the thought of gaining access to Fergus' leprechaun treasures has you eager to get going, regardless of the dangers, then Fergus will be in the Apellbine and Dionysia taverns of Pandaemonium and Sanctum on Wednesday (March 17, 2010), sometime between 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. CDT. For players in other time zones, that's 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in EDT and 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. PDT. You can also check out the full story of Fergus after the jump!

Fergus McGreedy has lived an interesting life. His eye for gold and wealth has taken him both near and far. His treasure chests are filled with riches from Elysea and Asmodae... even the Abyss itself. Over the years, Fergus has become a well-known character in Atreia; after all, how could anyone possibly miss a leprechaun dressed in green suit and top hat, lounging around a chest larger than himself?

Unfortunately, Fergus' fame has also resulted in him attracting attention from less pleasant members of Atreian society. Shugo bankers have long sought to get their hands on his riches, but were only recently able to uncover a relevant loophole in the Elyos and Asmodian tax systems. Following this recent revelation, a horde of Shugo tax collectors have started chasing after Fergus, looking to take the wee man's hard-earned Kinah.

Now, Leprechauns have never been particularly fond of people, and under normal circumstances would never give their gold away, but in this rather delicate situation Fergus decided to make an exception: He will give some of his gold away to his fellow leprechauns... but only so he can keep the rest!

Here's where you come in, loyal Daevas. Fergus recently lost his glasses while hiding from a particularly scary Krall tax collector in Poeta, and now spends his days spinning his tales to lampposts, mannequins and empty chairs. He's still desperate to pass on his taxable income though, and rumours abound that Fergus, blind as he is, has been handing out some of his wealth to anyone dressed in green.

If you want to see him and hear of his past adventures, Fergus will be in the Apellbine and Dionysia taverns of Pandaemonium and Sanctum on Wednesday (March 17, 2010), sometime between 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m CDT. Be on your guard, though, and bring your sword; rumours say he has a mysterious ability to bring past memories to life!

You will get some dye to help disguise yourself when you log in to meet with Fergus McGreedy. You will however be able to get the dye through Thursday March 18, 2010, even if you miss him.
