Boon Requests

[fairyfoes]

Hey, guys! Boon Requests are up, which means the fairies and imps are out and about bothering people to note down the number one item on their wishlist again! Only the fairies or imps from YOUR faction will be turning up, as usual, but they will be noting down all the ways you helped heal or slay the Ainsels and feral imps ... and where. This is echoed in the C&P box below for you to fill in and will tie into next month's event in a very exciting way!

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 23rd June (you can pick any time for them to be delivered/show up) no matter where they are there is no fuss, no muss! The royal audiences are bi-monthly and the second is due to be held on the 23rd too, which the fairies and imps will also be informing people. Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) 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> Use as many links as you need! <b>NUMBER OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS:</b> A quick overview of how many fairies were healed and imps were slain. You can give a general number and round it up! <b>LOCATION OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS:</b> Whereabouts were you/they when they went back to normal? This will tie into next month's event! <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: Gendry Waters
CANON: A Song of Ice and Fire
FACTION: Seelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1
NUMBER OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS: Gendry helped Sansa with a fairy above (though she got credit and the Gold Mine bonus), but he slayed a fair number of imps as they continued south. Probably six or so. One of them bit him!
LOCATION OF HEALED FAIRIES/SLAIN IMPS: About two/three weeks south of Caer Scima, so in La Llarona.
BOON REQUEST: Gendry would like enough Valyrian Steel and the knowledge of the spells required to work it.
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: So working Valyrian steel is a rare craft in his world, but one his master Tobho Mott possessed. So what Gendry wants is just to be able to reforge Valyrian steel, not actually create the alloy for it. (I would ask for that, but that's headcanon I'd not want to get into.) Now, how this knowledge gets to him is up to you! Gendry can't read, so if it ends up being scrolls or whatever, that's fine, though it will take him longer to be able to put it to use. So I'm pretty cool with whatever.

BOON APPROVED

On the morning of the 23rd Gendry will be approached by a beautiful naked dryad. She will give him a scroll with written instructions by the dwarf-lords in Troichean Beinn on how to reforge Valyrian steel. He will also be relayed an official long-standing invite to the dwarven kingdom courtesy of their king, if he wishes to learn more of his craft in the future first-hand without the fuss of reading anything, for theirs are the finest masters of metal in all the Six Realms and they believe learning with ones own hands beats anything. They hate the imps of Caer Scima very much and were informed by High-Queen Solais of how Gendry slew them, following his boon request.

He will also receive a really nice hat to keep the rain off while travelling in the future.
