Boon Requests

[fairyfoes]

Hey, palhonchos, it's Christmas Boon time! Requests are up, which means the fairies and imps are out and about bothering people from their respective factions to note down the number one item on their wishlist again!

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 until 22nd July (00:01am LONDON GMT) so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 23rd (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 third is due to be held near the end of August, which the fairies and imps will also be informing people.

This month, everybody qualifies for a boon! As an IC punishment to those who have kept their stars, anyone still in possession of one WILL NOT qualify for a boon, as stated by the monarchs ICLy on the 12th ("Champions who do not heed this request will forfeit their upcoming right to a boon. All are eligible save star-keepers.") Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) that will show your character getting involved in the event this month. 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> Please make sure to link to anything that indicates your character's star was returned if they took one. Use as many links as you need! <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. Bear in mind that if you opt for a WILDCARD, it could be COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED: for example, you could just as soon end up with an elephant as a packet of peanuts. Otherwise, make sure to mention something you think your character might want!

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 ALTERATIONS

An imp brings Ao a neatly-folded letter.

My Dearest Ao,

The Drabwurld lies between all realms. It is the first and last place a soul experiences, the home of Dark and Light in their purest forms. Your world is as a thread in a great coat, and we must work very hard to discover Shard-holders within them. It is difficult for us to say what happens in your world when you leave, as our focus is on bringing you to us, here, but in the process it sometimes happen that we learn a little about these varied and distant places.

Your world in particular has determined your fate for you, in the form of your parentage. Flight was your mother's great gift, and your truest love: and I have made effort that you should make a great journey to visit the sylphs of the mountaintops. They will teach you the manner of unlocking the wings of your mother's people, and using them to aide you in flight.

I am the shadows that cradled you inside your mother's womb, the First to love you and all children. I do so again in Caer Scima, and desire always true happiness for you. It is my great hope that you find it.

With Great Affection, The Shadow Lady
