COMMUNION WITH YIMA

After given some time for recovery and for Yima to hear reports of what transpired at the Tree of Life last month, a Communion message gently flows through the minds of each Shard-Bearer. They will have to choose to accept this message, and once they do, they will be greeted by Yima’s voice resonating pleasantly in their heads. She first apologizes for their harrowing experience with the Dryad, and that she hadn’t anticipated such a violent reaction from the Tree; she believes that their experiences point to an imbalance within the Tree itself, most likely brought about by the soon-to-come arrival of the Oracles.

She has spoken with Cyrus, and they have jointly decided that an investigation into the matter - and potentially the destruction of the Dryad - may be required to purge its influence from the Tree. Yima requests that any who would willingly seek out the Dryad volunteer to do so and will be outfitted with a ward against any tampering to prevent them from falling into the creature’s clutches a second time. It will take her a bit to fashion enough of these wards - but she anticipates being ready toward the end of the month.

She concludes her message with another heartfelt apology for your suffering, that she would not have sent any into such a situation she believed were truly dangerous. That being said, she takes responsibility for your ordeal and asks that if there is anything she can do in recompense, you have but to ask.

Yima will be available for Communion chatter here!

FESTIVAL OF REMEMBRANCE - HIGHSTORM

Takiltu is a month cycle the natives of Kenos regard with some amount of reverence and a hearty helping of excitement: the first part of the month (November) is spent reflecting on and celebrating the differing cultures and worlds each Kenosian represents. The second part of the month (December) is spent celebrating unity and togetherness, to come together with friends and family, to be kind to others and share in one’s wealth - whether that comes in the form of knowledge, monetary gains, or the exchange of gifts and one’s time.

Each city celebrates differently, the flavor of their festivals a reflection of their people.

In Highstorm, the first thirty days of Takiltu are spent in Remembrance. The city is decorated with string lights, paper lanterns, candles, and torches to illuminate the streets in beautiful colors and shimmering magical illusory shapes. The focal point of the festival takes place in The Court, where the reflecting pool has been especially decorated with arrangements of flowers and lights. Festival stands erected around the Courtyard peddle paper lanterns as well as refreshments, fanciful decorative items, and enchanted jewelry that is said to make one’s recollections of the past temporarily clearer.

The pool itself is the main attraction, here; citizens who approach its waters and gaze into its depths will find its normal abilities to reflect memories enhanced. The images are surreal for their clarity, vivid - and normally, one is requested to look into the eyes of those most precious to them whose souls remain lost, to pay homage to their memory and sacrifices, and to wish them rebirth in the new world to come. A purchased lantern is then lit and sent skyward where it floats into the moonlight, joining the others hovering above.

But this year, there is an addition to the usual fanfare. Emet-Selch has been asked to assist with the festival; as long as he is given permission, he can recreate the memory displayed in the reflecting pool. Yima has granted him a temporary blessing which enhances his natural creation abilities - a gift for their people she is grateful for. Your character can choose what it is they see in the water - whether it’s a place, a person, or the feelings of a certain point and time, he will temporarily recreate it around you. Everyone will be able to see this conjuring and interact with it while it is functional. It will last between 15 to 30 minutes before dissolving into beads of light that slowly trickle skyward before disappearing. You’ll be told to light a lantern, send it adrift, and that this will give peace to the part of you and your Shard that surely aches. But does it…?

Elsewhere in Highstorm, the High Theater has been painstakingly decorated and aglow with magical floating motes of light; the interior has been transformed into something of an Art Gallery. The pieces within are dedications to parts of worlds long gone, as well as the people in them; some are beautifully painted landscapes of exquisite, far-away places beyond the imagination. Some are more mundane and familiar snapshots of life in a home world not too different from your own. There are portraits of families, loved ones, and those the Zenites long for most. This is their time to mourn, to grieve, and to appreciate their pasts - the pasts that will lead them to a brighter future, one day. They must move on into the future, but treasuring that which came before is equally important to them.

Should you touch any of the motes of light that are around the art pieces decorating the Gallery, you will find yourself able to feel, hear, see, and taste a piece of the world the piece represents. Some of these are warm gatherings over a dinner table with family; others are heart-wrenching expressions of loss and bitterness and pain. Be cautious which you choose. Oh, and do be careful not to stand too closely with someone else when you touch one, or one accidentally touches you - the experience is absolutely contagious through Communion.

CELEBRATION OF CHERISHMENT - SPRINGSTAR

While Highstorm’s Festival of Remembrance is a more demure and reflective time, Springstar takes a much different approach to the season. In true Meri nature, the Celebration of Cherishment encapsulates celebrating life in all forms - and that means parties! The Psychagogía is the main hub of excitement considering, but festivities can be found in almost every single district of Springstar. Wherever you go, something is happening and someone is trying to rope you into having a good time.

The city has been decorated with bright and colorful multi-purpose magical ivy-like vines that sprouts buds that bloom over the course of the month into gorgeous flowers. These flowers are considered sacred, and their blooming is a momentous time of joy and good fortune. Each flower is left intact; disturbing one is tantamount to a war crime by the natives, so don’t get observed if you try to pluck one!

The Psychagogía is incredibly lively, teeming with people and events; almost every venue is peddling some kind of ‘Cherishment’ celebratory sale or discount. The first portion of the month includes what the locals call “the meri-ment” (and seem quite chuffed about that pun), in which Kenosians are encouraged to go bar hopping and taste the wide variety of specialty ales and liquor unkegged only around this time of year. Participants are highly encouraged to share stories of their worlds and cultures, to tell those they mingle with tales of the worlds they will one day return to and why they’re special, unique - to celebrate their one-day return.

Alongside this comes a great deal of outdoor grilling, fresh meats and vegetables sending tantalizing scents everywhere you go once the evening hours arrive. Some of these food and drinks can cause… interesting… effects if you consume them in excess, especially at the Emotional Damage - so try to show restraint. It would be a bit embarrassing to find yourself strangely infatuated with the first person you lay eyes on after your fifth night out on the town, or feeling compelled to express warm feelings aloud you wouldn’t normally commit to another. Luckily, it only lasts a short period of time - but beware the wicked hangover afterward. Strangely enough, if you’re suffering, you feel oddly compelled to seek out a little TLC from someone else - someone with whom you might have some unresolved feelings toward, positive or negative. Is it longing? Anger? Jealousy? Unspoken affections? Love? Whatever it is, you're more likely to seek them out for some care.

At the Coliseum, nightly brawls between Meris take place and the usual assortment of monsters are temporarily taken out of offer. This part of the festivities is one where each Kenosian is encouraged to settle any differences or misgivings with others and to get it out of their system, cleansing them of bad mojo - “leave it in the ring,” as it were. Despite beating each other bloody at times, most combatants willingly stop before it gets too serious and fighting to the death is not permitted. You must embrace your adversary before you leave, and your ‘bad blood’ will be considered purged and settled so you can start anew.

The Empório district is celebrating consumerism, because of course it is! All the usual goods are on a considerable discount, and for a brief time, gardening tools and supplies are free! The reason for this is that Springstar’s citizens are encouraged to plant one seedling in the gardens in Katoikitikós once the flowers lining the city have gone into full bloom. It is said this honors gods across cultures and time as well as invites good fortune. You are encouraged to plant a seedling in a group or pairing, as space is limited - and there are superstitions regarding this togetherness resulting in more favorable results. Should you plant a seedling with someone else, you might indeed find that something is beginning to blossom between you… Based on your Aspects, you might find yourselves feeling closer and more connected - or repulsed depending on your compatibility. This effect will last through the month after planting. Should you check on the seedling later, its health will be reflected in the state of your relationship. Friends will find the little plant thriving; enemies will find it is sickly and dying.

For those Shard-Bearers who have already harmonized with the Meridian or who have quarters in Heliopolis, you will find the communal meals much more lavish and indulgent than usual. There may even be a taste of home waiting for you among the spreads on offer, or some comfort food you haven’t had in a while. It is encouraged to share anything to your taste - or even to share why it is meaningful to you via Communion. Or you can just eat. You do you, man.

Once the flowers have bloomed and the festivities reach their peak, one might find the city loud and boisterous and sleep a little more difficult to come by. Springstar is absolutely thriving and alive - and you, too, feel more invigorated and energetic despite any lack of zzz’s. Should you leave the city, however, this effect will vanish and you might find yourself unnaturally fatigued and in need of more rest than is customary. Returning to Springstar will slowly build up your stamina again. This effect lasts until the end of the month.

THE MYSTERY OF ALENROUX

Once celebrations are in full-swing in the cities, some characters (i.e., any characters that choose to participate in this prompt) will be contacted by Cyrus or Yima, depending on their faction or whichever they feel a stronger inclination towards if they are currently Unharmonized. Both will explain that there’s something that they’d like you to investigate, but also to prepare and be careful, since this request doesn’t come without danger… A Shard has been lost in Alenroux, and they both hope you’ll be able to retrieve it.

MERIDIAN

“I’ve gotten word that a Zenith Shard-Bearer was sent to Alenroux a little bit before you arrived, and they haven’t come back yet. Normally, none of our business, but based on what some of the farmers have been saying, I think they’ve gotten hit by Discord. If it gets high enough, well… You don’t really have your mind anymore. We can help them through Purification. Even if it’s just for long enough to calm them down, it’s better than them being trapped in madness. It might be easier to dissipate them first, though, then Purify their Shard. They were last seen heading to the Northern forests. Let me know what I can give you to help, and make sure to help each other. Good luck.”

ZENITH

"Please heed my request, though I do not ask this of you lightly... One of the Zenith's children has been lost among the fields of Alenroux come nightfall and I fear the worst has befallen them. There are dangerous elements attracted to the presence of a soul, and the likelihood our brethren has been lost... it is great. Seek out the Shard - and if you are able to retrieve it, please do so. If it has suffered corruption too great to be saved or would place you in too great a danger to take back, then... I trust you to make the merciful choice. I place this in your hands and will give you whatever you require to see it through. Look out for your fellow Zenith and work together, as I do not want to lose more of you. Be well."

Both factions will offer their recruits access to standard weaponry and armor/protective clothing. If a character asks for more, they’ll be given a weapon or a piece of armor with minor magical properties which would normally cost 1 AC token to purchase. Magical weapons are on loan however. If your character takes these and/or chooses to keep it, please note this in your Committed Actions! If they choose to keep standard weaponry, Cyrus/Yima will just be disappointed in your dishonesty. :(

When you arrive during the day cycle, you’ll also find horses and magic hoverboards to use (they go the same speed tbh), because heading North to the forests is a bit of a trek, and you might not make it there in time on foot! As the sun starts to set, you’ll see the people in Alenroux start to leave, going clearly your opposite direction. Once night falls (Nov. 9th OOC), it doesn’t take long for things to change.

There’s just a sliver of a crescent moon in the sky, which makes the rolling hills and forests much more ominous than they were during the day. And as the stories say, it only takes an hour or two before you start to run into strange creatures. Closer to the Cornerstone, there are indeed strange creatures, and while they may not all look scary, they might present different kinds of dangers such as…

A light in the dark looks like a fairy, but stare at it too long and you’ll find yourself hypnotized by a ghastly fish will lead you to a body of water to drown you.
An innocuous puddle may form up into a mass of corrosive goo, complete with the bones and items of the last person it came across. When you slice it, it simply creates a copy of itself, so hopefully you realize this before you’re surrounded.
A strange straw poppet (sans pins, of course) that possesses you once you touch it and will use your body to try and fight anyone else while your consciousness is trapped inside the doll. To be freed, you only have to destroy the doll, but you’ll feel the pain of how its destroyed even if you don’t bear any injuries from it.

However, as you get closer to the Northern forests, they become significantly more fearsome…

With a roar, a massive, multiheaded beast descends, and each of its mouths is perfectly capable of taking a bite out of you. Watch out for the snake’s head in particular, since its venom will cause you to hallucinate your worst fears.
As you come face to face with an odd creature, bioluminescence lights up on its skin, and the spins on its back quiver with a sound like a rattlesnake’s. As the spines quiver, you find it exceptionally difficult to take your eyes off them and move as it stalks closer slowly. You can fight blind, right?
Diving in and out of larger shadows like its water is a slimy beast that’s incredibly fast. Its teeth may be small, but its tail is a razor-sharp whip that could remove a limb if you’re not careful.

These are just examples, however. There are many creatures lurking the wilds of Alenroux, so feel free to create your own monsters with unique effects.

It's a difficult trek North, and you may be tired from hours of running, fighting, or both… But eventually, a few people do find what they were looking for. They might have even missed it, if not for how their Shards suddenly felt like they were burning. From the shadows, a twisted creature of roots and lights which what looks like many crystals in a glowing mass appears and one of its eyes locks on you. It looks like now is your chance.

NOTES

Weather summary for the first 30 days of Takiltu (NOV & DEC):

Highstorm is in late fall, early winter season. Some flurries may occasionally fall and it is getting considerably cold out there! Bundle up!

Springstar is in the throes of early summer; the weather is climate and pleasantly warm for outdoor celebrations (but not sweltering). There are occasional afternoon showers, but they don’t last very long.

Notable city changes:

If you wander the Markets in Highstorm, you might notice some of the peddlers seem a bit wary of you. Hm, guess something happened around here! Probably totally unrelated, but Silco and Vander (or anyone with them) will be treated with nervous suspicion.

Similarly, if you're traveling with Set (or you're Set) in Springstar, you might occasionally find yourself getting strange looks. Ask Set why.

Faction updates:

There are no explicit changes in faction behavior at this time. This will be a staple in all future event write-ups to catalogue the fluidity of the conflict as it progresses, though, so we're including it here for posterity!

Event Notes:

The Reflecting Pool in the Courts of Highstorm can be observed normally with no addtional effects or can bring your memory to vivid life thanks to the help of Emet-Selch (and Yima). If you grant him permission (which can be handwaved), he will breathe life into whichever memory you have chosen to view! If this includes any NPC’s or interactive elements, you will be responsible for playing them out in any tags until they disappear. Please see Emet’s toplevel for any interactions you’d like to thread out with him as a part of this.

For the Gallery in Highstorm, the art depicted in and scenes experienced through the pieces are up to you to create! Feel free to go wild with any associated NPC's in the scene and worldbuild as you see fit. Highstorm holds a variety of citizens from across the multiverse, so you could feasibly go fantastical places, or experience something distinctly profound and beyond your imagination...

The drinks and refreshments in Springstar can be enchanted in just about any way you’d like, including bringing upon minor physical changes of the cute, fun, and flirty variety! Feel free to get creative (as long as you get permission from your thread partner), the Meris would also merrily insist growing extra fluffy, scaly, etc bits during the celebration will only help you party harder! 🥳

As reminders for Alenroux, once night falls, a character is not able to leave until sunrise, which is 24 hours later. If your character is dissipated, you can have a PC retrieve their Shard or the respective Faction they're allied with will send out a search party to find it. Remember to report character deaths!

CODING

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The celebratory fervor that takes the city proves to be something of a much needed relief for Vander. The pent up stress from last day he had set foot in Highstorm has found little release as the days drew on, and the building effects of discord only served to put a spotlight on it in his mind. So when the festivities first began to spring up throughout the aptly-named Springstar, he at first feels the need to shy away from it. But the celebrations are so widespread, the streets so lively, and the townsfolk so eager to share their excitement that it isn’t long before Vander pulled into it and finding… that it is precisely what he needed.

Today he’s found himself out on one of the streets of the Psychagogía where a row of brewhouses and eateries have pulled tables and chairs out front into one large, makeshift patio where all patrons could mingle together and share in the celebration. He’s got a drink in hand and a pleasant buzz already warming him as he moves through the scattered array of tables when he spots a familiar face mingling amidst the crowd.

Vander quickly moves to join Hythlodaeus, and with a grin will thump a friendly hand on his shoulder in greeting.

“Hythlodaeus! I see you finally made it out to Springstar,” he says, tone jovial. Hyth might notice that Vander’s hair is also much longer than it had been the last time they met, pulled back now and tied to keep it from his face. His beard is much fuller and scruffier, and he might just catch the sight of sharper fangs hidden in that grin of his if he’s attentive. Yet despite the wildness of his appearance, there’s genuine joy to be found there in Vander’s expression.

For as wild as Vander looks right now- those fangs don't go unnoticed- Hythlodaeus is genuinely pleased to see the other man. He grins up at him, already quite merry himself, and takes a drink from his own glass before replying.

"Aye, that I did! I quite like it- where Highstorm is much more subdued, I feel the lively atmosphere here suits me better." He gestures to Vander then, and it's obvious where he's going with it.

"Ah, you're having the same issues as I am, I see." Though Vander seems to be having a worse time of it than Hythlodaeus, they're both still suffering from longer hair at least.

“Guess I’m glad to see I’m not the only one struggling with it.” He gives a slight laugh, a light-hearted sort of thing. While it had been something of a worry at first, it feels… less so, now. The cheerful environment might be a big factor in that, though perhaps he’s just growing used to it.

“Though ‘struggling’ maybe isn’t the right word. More annoying than anything, eh?” Vander reaches up with his free hand to push aside a stray lock of hair that has fallen free from his ponytail. “Don’t know how folks who keep their hair long put up with this all the time.”

"A little irritating, aye." He chuckles, though. "'Tis why I usually keep mine braided. Else it gets in the way."

He watches Vander for a moment, before continuing. "This Discord affecting us- it can be cleansed, yes? We must simply find someone of a complimentary Aspect. Then we can finally cut our hair." He grins- he's sure there are likely other effects to Discord, but since the hair is the most obvious one...

“Right, right. Remember getting a bit of a crash course in that when I got here.” He isn’t sure if he recalls all the particulars of how it works, but truthfully he’d largely been trying not to dwell on it for too long for a number of reasons. Then the Discord grew and the symptoms of it only worsened, making it much harder to ignore.

A little absently, he rubs at the bracer worn on his right forearm where his aspect tattoo lay hidden. “Know that my own aspect is the Exalt, but it’s a little harder keeping everyone else’s straight so far,” he says with a laugh. Other Exalts have been easy enough to pinpoint these past couple of weeks, thanks to that empathic bond, but the rest? He’s still trying to navigate how the others felt brushing against that new sixth sense.

"Mine is the aspect of Stargazer. I believe we may be complimentary."

Which means they lucked out, in that case. "If the Discord bothers us, 'twould be wise to do something about it, yes?"

Smiling easily, he touches his hand to Vander's arm. "Come, we can find somewhere to chat for a while."

“Well, looks like we got some luck on our side.” Now that is a welcome change of pace, as far as Vander’s concerned.

He nods at the suggestion and doesn’t shy away from Hythlodaeus’s touch. With a quick glance around, he spots a few empty seats at one of the tables that’s just been cleared off not too far from them. He motions over to it.

“Sounds like a fine idea. We can grab a seat over there.”

Nodding, Hythlodaeus moves towards the seats and settles himself down beside Vander. Once seated, he looks to Vander curiously.

"I do wonder why you seem to be suffering the effects of Discord more strongly than I. You even have little fangs- which are adorable, by the way- whereas I am merely suffering a little hair growth. Does it simply affect us differently?"

“I got myself in something of a mess recently,” he says, placing his drink on the table in front of them and settling back into his seat. “Ended up with an extra big helping of Discord.”

His earlier cheer falters a bit at the mention of it, though he’s quick to try to shrug it off. He places a hand on his chest where his Shard is hidden beneath his shirt, giving off a steady heat. It had been alarming at first, how hot it had grown, but he’s since gotten used to it. Might not be such a good thing, though.

“That’s when the fangs showed up, so I reckon it’s a result of that.”

"I see. I shan't ask any further questions." Not if it seems to dim Vander's cheer. They're here for a nice time, after all!

"I wonder how we can tell if this is working... like as not, I won't notice if my hair has stopped growing until the morrow." He toys with his braid idly, looking down at it. He's never had half as much hair as this before, it's all very odd...

He’s glad to side-step getting further into that discussion, as he hadn’t meant to drag down the jovial mood. Discussing Discord makes that a bit tricky, but it’s easy enough to focus on the present predicament it has placed them in.

“That’s something I hadn’t really though about, myself. Didn’t quite expect I’d be in this position so soon, so the lecture I’d gotten on it didn’t really stick.” He laughs. “Guess there’s only one way to find out, eh?”

"Heh... you and me both." He listened of course, but there was nothing really said about how to tell if it was working or not.

"Well, you have the right of it. We won't know unless we try." He leans against the table, smiling up at Vander.

"So tell me about yourself, my friend. What did you do where you come from?"

He returns the smile. Whether it works or not (and he certainly hopes it does), at the very least they’d have themselves a good time here. Hythlodaeus seems like a pretty decent fellow, and Vander’s glad for the opportunity to maybe get to know him a little better.

“Well, I spent a good few years running a bar back home,” he says, drumming his fingers idly alongside his glass as he speaks. “Had a pretty good community going around it. Got half a mind to give that another go here.”

"A bar! I do love spending time in bars. Not even to drink all the time- but the atmosphere is often so lively and jolly!"

He nods, enthusiastic. "If you owned a bar here I would certainly show up. Pray let me know if you open one, I would be happy to bring a friend or two along."

He realises he doesn't necessarily look the type to hang around in bars all day, but he spent many a night drinking back in Amaurot. He just finds it fun, it always puts him in a good mood, so why not do it?

((I’m finally getting caught up with some of my older threads again, sorry for the delay! :x))

“The atmosphere is exactly what I loved about it.” The smile returns, a little livelier this time. “Nothing beats having a place where people can just unwind for a bit, y’know?”

He’s glad that Hyth seems to share that sort of preference, and the enthusiastic encouragement does seem to embolden Vander a bit. He’d truthfully been mulling over the idea for a few weeks now, and with so many folks he’s chatted with thinking it a good idea…

“Well, I’ll be sure to let you know, then. Got some ideas for it rattling around up here,” he taps a finger against his temple, “and it might be good to have something to keep busy with.”

"Of course, it's best to keep busy. And a bar owned by one of us newcomers would be wonderful."

He's certainly pleased about the idea, yes. "I have been considering a venture of my own with a dear friend of mine- sitting around doing nothing doesn't sit well with me, and I think he's starting to get antsy too."

Chuckling quietly, he grins up at Vander. "I suppose if we have no way of leaving any time soon, we may as well make the most of our time, hm?"

“That’s my thought exactly.” He gives an emphatic nod of agreement with that. No use letting all this time go to waste if they were looking at being stuck in this place long-term, right?

The prospect of Hyth pursuing his own venture as well is an intriguing one. “What sort of plans have you and your friend got in mind?”

He leans forward with genuine interest, glad to know others were eager to dive into their own projects as well. And he can’t help but be curious about the sort of work a man like Hythlodaeus would be interested in.

"We are hoping to open a facility in which others can submit creature concepts. Emet-Selch and myself will then create those creatures via creation magicks, and keep them in the facility for a time to determine how they act around other critters. If we believe the creature will be beneficial to the star in the long run, we will release them into the world to settle down!"

He grins, obviously excited about the idea. "Of course it relies heavily on others submitting creatures, but we're hoping to make the process less complex than it was back home. It is my sincerest hope that people will think of new creatures that can thrive here."

Hythlodaeus’s excitement is infectious, and Vander finds himself smiling at the explanation. It’s… quite an outlandish thought, that creatures could simply be created like that, but it does sound like a pretty charming idea in its own way. And something of a familiar one, now that he thinks on it. A little bit of recognition is clear there on his face.

“Ah, you’d mentioned that there’d been a place that did that sort of thing back where you come from, if I remember right. Getting a little taste of home with that, then?” Certainly fit in with the general Meridian mindset of sharing a bit of one’s culture with the rest of the folks around here. “I gotta say, I’m intrigued by how all of that must work.”

"Heh... 'twas my job for many years. A couple thousand, at least. And though I should perhaps move on to something different, I cannot help but feel a pull towards something familiar in this unfamiliar world."

He gestures to Vander. "Much like you and your pub." They both seem to want to stick to what they know, at least for now. That isn't a bad thing.

"If you have questions on how it works, I will be happy to answer, of course."

“It’s good to have ourselves a little bit of something familiar to help us get settled in with all this.” He motions his free hand generally to the lively city street around them.

When it comes to questions, Vander’s got plenty already rattling around in his head, but he opts to first backpedal to one that springs up after an interesting little tidbit Hyth has dropped just a moment ago.

“A thousand years, though?” A whistle, impressed and a little incredulous. “I suppose that makes the work a little more than just ‘something familiar’ for you then, eh? Must have seen all kinds of critters working a job like that for that long.”

"Heh... yes indeed, I have seen a great many creatures. And a great many trends that come along every so often, too. Aquatic critters with the ability to fly, for instance- oh, the concepts that poured in!"

Chuckling fondly at the memories, he grins. "It was always a busy day at the bureau when my peers found something to inspire them. And it made me happy, truly."
