NOVEMBER CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hey, fairybros! November is a BIG MONTH in term of game developments! First, we'd like folks who have NPC/Black Shuck threads to know that these will be carried out to a sensible conclusion!
Secondly, we'd like to introduce the details on the time skipping mechanic! Please go here to review the info and ask any and all questions! Note that as a result of questions and interaction with the game's community, we may update or modify the mechanic, so please check back frequently!
As a note, the Quest Request will be opened in just a few days, with an ETA of November 05! This will be our first batch, and the mod team will approach all participants for the first month for criticism/reviews of the process en masse at the end of the month. We're not entirely sure how to gauge participation at this point, but expect that requests will be closed if it reaches unmaneagable levels, especially with the holiday at the end of the month.
With that in mind, we're also going to put out a blanket notification that all mods are likely going to have spotty activity for holidays this and next month, so as a general rule, expect that we may spend a little more time getting to requests and replies.

The Uprising Dead GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 01-07 NOVEMBER |
SUMMARY All over the land, unmarked graves are blooming with green sod and bright, fragrant tulips. The fairies whisper that Black Shuck is returning the Long Dead to the notice of the land, and will urge everyone to rebury the bones of champions in the crypts of the castles before fourteen days have passed. The fairies won't say why, but will be moved to tears if their pleas are not carried out. Even the imps will be frantic over the accomplishment of this task. The monarchs will issue decrees for each shard-holder to follow the instructions of the fae. On the seventh day, midway through the deadline, they will be persuaded by the monarchs to speak plainly: Black Shuck wants his dead honoured by Caer Glaem and Caer Scima alike, even within the Station's mile radius. If the mounds are not exhumed and the contents properly laid to rest, the Dog of Death will lay a sickness on the six lands.
Characters need not accomplish this; those that do may receive special recognition, while those who don't may receive unforeseen consequences!

The Uprising Dead GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 15-21 NOVEMBER |
SUMMARY The tulip mounds rot with the sunrise of the fifteenth day. From them rise up large spectral dogs with blank fiery eyes that roam the six realms and attack anyone with a shard. These, the monarchs will inform the realms, are the restless souls claimed by Black Shuck, cast out and damned until felled by the fearless; the trouble with slaying the hungry beasts lies in their ability to inspire ones greatest terrors to grip the heart. As a result, they are difficult to destroy. A royal command will be issued to all shard-holders, instructing them to fortify the castles and all those who are able to ride out and destroy the demonic dogs. Seelie and Unseelie alike will be granted a royal favour at the end of the month.
Since this is not a mass event, players are encouraged to plan and plot among themselves, and set up their own logs as appropriate!

ARIADNE will be moving bones to the crypt in Caer Scima. She can shadow travel/teleport to major locations within forests and can teleport anywhere she's already been on the full moon (November 6th!), so she'll try to focus on mounds in those locations. She'll mostly help with fortifications but will fight if necessary and if any dogs get in!
JOHN GRIMM will be moving bones to the crypt in Caer Glaem; as he can teleport within Glaschu, he'll focus on that region! He'll also be involved in the skirmishes against the Unseelie camps near Cothromach, but I believe that will be happening toward the end of the first week -- either way, he'll try to do both. He will try to fight the dogs but will probably be convinced that Everyone Is Going To Die (haha worst fear) and retreat back to help defend the castle.
