Boon Requests

[fairyfoes]

Hey, guys! The Wild Edric event officially ended on the 19th (feel free to keep backtagging, of course!) and we're a day behind on tossing up the boon request post because RL plus Summer equals Hangovers, oops so this will run until 24TH MAY (00:01am LONDON GMT) instead of the 23RD. The tooth and sword were BOTH recovered by their respective sides!

Wherever Shard-holder characters are in the Drabwurld, at some point today they will be approached by fairies or imps, depending on their alignment, bearing a piece of parchment and a quill. They will urge your character to write down a request for an item, power or favour from their monarchs in exchange for fighting or supporting their faction and they will take it away through a fairy-ring when it is written. There are three easy rules your character will be informed MUST NOT be broken:

1) "Do not call for time and space to be bent to your will!"
2) "You may not request another's true love or devotion!"
3) "Ask not for a road home or the loved ones whence you came!"

Essentially, the OOC boundaries relayed through IC means to your character are to avoid game-breaking demands being made. They will be approved, altered or denied here so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 25th May (00:01am LONDON GMT), no matter where they are, there is no fuss, no muss! The royal audiences are bi-monthly (to avoid clashing with apps opening!) so the next will be in June. Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) where support has been shown for your faction that will qualify for a boon.

Simply C&P the below into your comment:

<b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>CANON:</b> <b>FACTION:</b> <b>RELEVANT THREAD(S):</b> <a href="PASTE LINK HERE">Link #1</a> <a href="PASTE LINK HERE">Link #2</a> <b>BRIEF RUNDOWN OF CHARACTER INVOLVEMENT:</b> A quick overview explaining what's going on in the above links. <b><u>BOON REQUEST</u>:</b> <b>POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS:</b> If you think your boon is a little too awkward, put some suggestions here for how we might alter it and still manage to grant the request.

If your character doesn't want to request a boon they may simply wave away the fairies/imps. It is not possible to "save up" Boon Requests for later events, so make sure to get yours in if you want one!

CHARACTER NAME: Hilda
CANON: The Legend of Zelda
FACTION: Seelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1 Link #2
BRIEF RUNDOWN OF CHARACTER INVOLVEMENT: Hilda was in Team Green and maintained barriers around the camp to keep it safe and prevent monsters or Unseelie to invade it and disturb the wounded or those who couldn't fight. She also kept communication open with some people in other teams.
BOON REQUEST: Hilda would like to be granted the power to restore her dying homeworld, as High-Queen Solais promised her.
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: I do not know how such a power would manifest (her land is dying and covered in darkness because it lost the omnipotent artifact that kept it together). So it would probably manifest as some sort of healing or light power? Feel free to bring any modification to this power or even change it altogether if this doesn't work.

BOON APPROVED
Sealed letter will clarify to Hilda that her homeworld cannot be restored without her presence; the war would need be won before it could be accomplished.

But Hilda will be delivered in a small, hand-sized carven ivory box a single ring, inset with a gem in the purple which is her colour. When she wears it, even the darkest shadows will be forced back, all that is green will grow lush, and very minor wounds may slowly begin to heal. Her focus will improve the strength of this power, which may extend several hundred meters from her person at its peak. Effects are slightly lingering, even after she departs, but will naturally fade.
