OCTOBER CALENDAR
The battle continues...
RECAP 2702: Please take a moment to fill out anything needed for the game recap by the wonderful Meg!
The Battle of the Gem GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 01-?? OCTOBER |
SUMMARY The inferno of the war billows and grows as all forces fight to claim the Gem of Power. Knowing their own futures are at stake, now the battle is joined by greater beings. The Gods are here.
On the first day of the battle, characters will experience half-lit twilight. All the celestial forces will come down as manifest figures and will battle against each other. Day and night are gone and the world is aflame. The reason for this is obvious to all: the shards stolen by the Red Hand will reappear to reform the Uaine Cridhe as a great green mountain rising from the center of the Cathraon.
The monarchs will also reappear as unstoppable forces of cosmic power clashing through the sky. Rather than the monarchs releasing an edict, the shards of characters will themselves indicate the future course through a searing, insistent command: Seek the Heart. Choose our Fate.
The mountain will be covered in warring factions, and its power has attracted the hosts of remaining gods into the fray. Characters will have to battle their way into one of the many caves and paths into the gem, where battling forces will continue. Everyone will be seeking the Heart of the Gem.
THE SECOND BATTLE FOR THE UAINE CRIDHE: Those with the strength to battle and the will to change all fate know that the Uaine Cridhe can change the nature of all things, and that utilizing its power can change the shape, form, and fabric of the universe. Mortal men, gods, and stranger things all battle at its feet, fighting each other all the way up its steep, strange planes. As the avatars of gods are slain, the gods themselves fall in battle, spreading great stains of blood granite along the patchy earth and stone which the mountain tore up as it ascended to its heights, so that the powers of characters are often unreliable. Nothing is held back, and these are the moments of the greatest sacrifices.
INSIDE THE UAINE CRIDHE: Once a character has found their way within the gem, they will experience extended reality warping, not unlike chaotic dream-sharing, walking through their own memories (or those of others nearby). The nearer the heart of the gem one progresses the more literally painful the experience is for characters still retaining their shards, as the force of the mountain begins to pull the shard from them (much like one small magnet gravitating to a far larger one). Characters will need to travel into the heart of the gem and use their shard to resonate with the shard to will their choice. (Shardless/Natives: If a shardless/native can get a shard, they can also have an influence. Please contact the mods if your character is having a hard time getting access to a Shard!) Any character who does this will experience a feeling of absolute consciousness of all existence that will overwhelm them. We will put up an OOC post with the IC post to ensure everyone can contribute!

MONTHLY OVERVIEW
The next Calendar of Events post will go up to cover all of November! All characters in the game will be affected by the events of the battle on the gem. Details about the result of the plot and what else happens at the heart of the gem will be revealed then. New game information and plotting for what happens next will come out over the next month!01st OCTOBER • 01) IC Mod Post. The shards stolen from the courts seek each other and reform the Uaine Cridhe as a great green mountain with twisting, labyrinthian passageways. Shards attached to the dwarven mechas also return to the gem. Sensing the great power, all the Gods join in the battle. The stars and moon fall to the earth to take form in the fight, leaving the world in a permanent half-lit twilight. 02) With the loss of their shard eyes, the dwarf war machines are now capable of being felled!
14th OCTOBER • IC Mod Post. Characters will finally be able to break into the tunnels and will need to travel to the Heart of the Gem. A post will go up asking for links to your character reaching the heart of the gem and what they willed for it.
31th OCTOBER (0:01 GMT) • Post willing the fate of the world closes. • Characters get a fun surprise from reaching the centre of the gem! An IC post will go up revealing what happens to them there.
DORIAN GRAY
Dorian will be getting into the fight hardcore now. He is gonna be LISTENING TO THE CRAZY VOICE IN HIS CHEST and GETTING TO THE CENTRE OF THAT GEM to wish for that greatest of wishes, a world where everyone worships him and has fabulous sex with him all the time. Or, like... something where the cycle can continue in a way that doesn't ruin entire worlds in their primes, maybe. Whatever. He'll decide when he gets there.
So. 1st-14th he will definitely be battling to get inside. He will cut down ANYONE AND ANYTHING THAT GETS IN HIS WAY. HE HAS A WISH TO MAKE AND HE IS GONNA MAKE IT. He will call in the full forces of all of his animal buds, so expect giant wolves, varren, assorted dangerous horses, and others to participate in this rockin' attack.
15th onward DREAMSHARING MINDTRIP SHENANIGANS. Please. Oh my god. This is my favourite thing. Dorian will be bringing 100+ years of perfect memories blending disturbingly together to the table, with everything from rocking orgies to cannibalism to orgy cannibalism AND I WANT ALL YOUR CHARACTER'S WACKY MEMORIES. I am also 100% totally down for glorious fighting in the memories, please and thank you.
ALSO: he may have an extra shard for a Shardless/native to use to wish. I need to double-check if that will be true.

yes! Do you want me to start it? (Do you have any thoughts on how you'd like to work their memories together? memories in commonality, or starting from a point that's strange, or whatnot?)
