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!

BOON APPROVED
ROAD TRIP!

Charles will be granted the ability to use two fairy-rings to visit the Drabkeeper's castle on Air Leth! He can invoke the first by reciting the words, "Take me to where old books do lie, foxes and feathers and leather-bound spines." This will transport him into the atrium of the castle where the kindly old Drabkeeper will welcome him (and probably offer tea and scones a little too enthusiastically as he doesn't get many visitors), informing Charles he is welcome to make a temporary home in the great library. He will be assigned one of the helper-foxes while a guest. To go home, whenever you please, he must chant the spell, "Take me to where golden skies shine, knights and honour and law over crime." This will put him back in his room in Caer Glaem with anything on his person at the time of his travel.

While on Air Leth, Charles may discover the following and impart it ICly to other characters:
- Morla and Solais were born sisters!
- In the beginning of the Drabwurld there was no light or dark, all was grey and indistinct and full of pain. This slowly changed when "The Mother" placed her daughters there to live. The earliest references of the High-Queens refers to them as Shine and Shade in archaic, almost dissolved writing.
- Shards are part of a person's soul and to own one is to have originated in some small part in the Drabwurld. Every Shard-holder is, technically, a native. This is very old lore and not many modern texts will agree; in fact, they will directly contradict this!

Additionally, Charles will be granted a new fur cloak and riding leathers stamped in a golden sigil of his choosing across the chest.
