Auto Open

This is the auto open page we will be using to make sure everyone is on page with the Winter Story Arc. Posts will be posted with the most recent first. All players are expected to play along with the Story Arc. We have a limited variety of alternate response. Consequently, if you do not feel as if the world impacting effects posted here would affect your character -- you may DM Lara to discuss -- you will be expected not to role-play until you have both spoken and a resolution agreed upon.

Para os nossos palestrantes portugueses - esta é uma informação importante que foi fornecida no wiki para que você possa copiar e colar facilmente no google tradutor. Isso deve ser lido todos os dias antes da encenação.

To our new players: I see we have quite a number of new players who have joined recently. I'd like to take a moment to welcome you all and give you an update of what is in the works for the shard in the next few weeks, more details will follow, but here is a quick snap shot.

We use a web based games system, think of it like a multi player online game of risk. This system allows a player to claim a castle in game, and control (virtually) the land around it, its armies, treasury and spies. This system allows players to roleplay as the owner/lord of the estate and have rp conflict with other estate owners. This provides a fascinating back drop to conflict RP.

Right now RPCSS is down while we do some updates, those updates will include the ability for any player, with enough gold, to claim an available state. So feel free to look around at the various estates on the mainland and save up your gold! The next wave of war and conquest is about to begin and you could be in the thick of things.

Rumors that the child-eater had escaped Underhill and had taken refuge in the Dark Forest of Summer Isle quickly spread through the people of Evervale. Before long, a group of brave men and women set out to apprehend the fugitive once and for all. The Dark Forest is no safe place and the group was beset by goblins and other denizens of the region, however, the drive and determination of the group never waned.

No trail of the wicked fey was given, only the region, and the group trekked deeper into the woods until they reached The Dark Tower. Expecting to find clues or remnants of the child-eater's presence, they encountered a far more sobering sight: a mage circle carefully crafted upon the floor of the tower and a dozen red robed figures focused and chanting around it.

At first, shock and fear gripped the heroes, for magic is punishable by death, though both of these emotions made way for quick anger. Seizing two of the mages, the heroes managed to interrupt the mages just before the spell was cast and in that moment, the rest of the red robed mages magically transported themselves away. Demanding answers to panicked questions, the mages that remained revealed the illusion spell created by none other than Brother Thomas to make the entirety of Summer Isle believe The Brotherhood was in control. The mages themselves were held by threats to perform the spell each night to keep the isle complacent. Now that the spell was broken and the circle destroyed by the heroes, the men and women of Summer Isle would soon regain all their memories.

Even as the heroes regained their memories in anguish, recalling those missing and the crimes committed by others, one glaring fact remained: The Grey Rider, Summer Isle's guardian, had been captured. One party member, Corbin Merser, a true believer, was brought under scrutiny for his involvement and belief in the extremist cult, The Brotherhood, and placed under arrest and jailed. His fate is not yet determined.

The remaining heroes set off to every corner of Cuiviénen to bring news of Summer Isle. As for the people of Summer Isle, their true memories return to them... with, perhaps, a newer set of problems altogether.

The next quest will be on Thursday at 8 pm.

Good Afternoon Everyone -- Staff has been having some pow wows and are brainstorming on some ideas that will motivate players to log in. However, as you all know -- players must also be part of the process of keeping the motivation going. Our winter quest will be entering its final phase for wrap up, and as soon as we have a date and time it will be posted. In the meantime I hope everyone is safe and sound.
