Gates of Sto’vo’kor Gear

The Gates of Sto’vo’kor now has a store with a variety of products featuring our new logo. Feel free to check it out. Korrath recorded a short message for you.

“G’hargh …

I swear if I have to clean up one more of his messes, I’m going to kill him. Apparently, while completely sloshed on Bloodwine, G’hargh found himself at the losing end of a Tongo game with a Ferengi named, Shlep. I don’t know what goes through his head sometimes, but he had given that honorless Ferengi pah’taq permission to post a few items of Klingon Interest on the Gates of Sto’vo’kor website until his debts are paid — a few items, not an entire Ferengi Mall!  Since discovering this heinous act of dishonor, I have worked tirelessly to restore our site to its normal state.

Eh, more or less …

I was unable to fully remove all of the Ferengi code from our site. The best I could do is isolate it to a small corner of our homepage. If you feel like helping G’hargh pay back his gambling debts, feel free to do so. Or not, I don’t really care. He did this to himself.”

(All proceeds will cover site maintenance costs).
