AUGUST CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hello, fairybros!
A couple of quick notes before we forge forward into the August event! As of next app cycle (September), we will be making some changes to the current app and also begin allowing NATIVE OC APPLICATIONS. These applications will have a different format than traditional applications, and will be much more vigorous in their review process, as well as have a completely separate and much shorter submission period. Native OC applications will be submitted before traditional apps, not alongside, and will only be open to individuals with a character currently in-game. We will notify the community as we release info on this in the upcoming month!
And as some of you may have noticed, we've been advancing the game's overarching plot not just through the use of the monarchs, but other in-game NPCs, PM-based special events, and other small easter eggs. We encourage individuals who have taken part in these events to PM the mod account criticisms, thoughts, and reviews of this experience or to paste them in the review area below, as there will be more of them in the upcoming months!
Also related to NPCs, here is a link to a gamewide player character NPC roster! If your character has any followers or NPCs which other player characters may *frequently* interact with, please feel free to add their details! Fairies, soldiers, footmen, servants, and more are all game! If you desire, you can even advertise your NPC as an appable native OC.

( Please read the Monthly Overview/Quick Notes and use this post for all your plotting needs! ) MONTHLY OVERVIEW
• All of the living shadows will start off approximately knee-high, and the smaller they are, the easier they are to kill.
• Each court keeps its own hounds for hunting, and characters will find the masters of the hunt all too eager to let player characters use them for the sake of hunting these mean bastards down!
• Player characters or hounds may be injured by the shadows.
• Even hounds not from the drabwurld will instinctively act to kill these shadows.
Please use this post to plot for the month and C&P the following! The next Calender of Events post will go up toward the end of August to cover all of September. Weather in-game will be frequent sunshine, hot blue skies, interspersed with fierce summer storms. Nights will be primarily rainy. Finally, if you have any queries about the event, please direct them to the Questions thread and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thank you!

The Falling of the Lawkamercyme GENRE: MYSTERY/MAGICAL | DURATION: 10-18 AUGUST |

SUMMARY The lack of the stars kept by shardholders has left the night sky more dark than usual; and it's from the sky that these small wrathful creatures fall. Most of them are only as tall as knee-height, with wide mouths full of dozens of needle-sharp teeth, and look like living shadows. They have a fondness for eating birds, any food they can get their hands on, and shoes. They'll also leave clothes and bedding in tatters. If many find each other, they will bind together to grow proportionally larger... and more dangerous. When in this form, they'll seek out the women of the court to hunt.
The fairies and imps can sometimes be caught heard shrieking "Lawkamercyme!" at them before fainting, and may be eaten if not quickly saved! If characters speak this name around them, the dark shadows will shrink a little; if several characters do it at once, the combined command will cause the shadows to vanish and the trouble to lessen. Otherwise, they seem very afraid of dogs, who will hunt them mercilessly and seem to be the only thing which can kill them beyond speaking the strange word ...

About NATIVE OC APPS because that is so exciting to me because I have the perfect character for this!
Will they be native as in the sense of 'born in drabwurld' or native as in 'were dragged from the world forever ago so are essentially native' (I recall vaguely Reynard was dragged here as a shardholder but is now essentially a native npc?)
Also if we have an idea of how to integrate them / relate them to NPCs, can we pitch it once they pass the test!
I know you are going to release info later I am just EXCITED sorry I will get back in my box now

Re: QUESTIONS?
Because, I mean, take the women, take the children, take the castles, take the jewellery, but I'm not sure how Cesare would feel about supernatural attempts against his horse.
( Actually mostly asking because horses can be quite bite-prone, and wasn't sure whether that played into the shadows' willingness to approach them or not. )

In the past, I've played an OC that is based on Celtic (mainly Welsh) lore. And judging by your previous answers to my fellow players, this would be a native born PC in this world. My only problem is that this being drawn from similar lore, is that I do have her drawn from the traditional Arthurian legends. So I guess my only concern is would that be stepping on too much toes? Would OCs have to be limited exclusively to the Celtic theme in this game? I AM SORRY I just hope this sounds clear, because this would be a perfect game, but in the meantime, I'd be too freaked out about stepping on toes. Aaagh.

I realize that this would probably add to an already enormous load, and heck, might already be something you guys considered and decided against, but just in case.

CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: clarisse la ru(d)e.
FANDOM(S): percy jackson & the olympians.
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: THE BATTLE FOR THE SILMARIL. was basically her fault. she now has celegorm's shard, though i'm not sure what she intends to do with it yet (probably return it to maglor once the guilt settles in). she's mostly dealing with the aftermath of the war atm.
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: SHE HAS FOUR GIANT DOGS THAT ARE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN. might have one of the big bad shadows try to attack clarisse and the dogs basically be like LOL NO. other than that, i'm pretty open to anything! clarisse will most likely be trying to stay under the radar for a while until the dust settles from the war. and won't it be a nice surprise when she finds out celegorm is alive again!

CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Jack Sparrow
FANDOM(S): POTC
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: NONE I AM A TABULA RASA. Jack is still missing his hat and his pistol after the Hedley Kow incident. If another character wants to find them/aid him/hold them hostage, have at. I would also love to have him pillage something. Anyone up for forming a gang of thieves?
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: Hit me up I am wide open. Jack DID keep a star (handwaved). He'd never give such a thing back.

CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Ryan Evans
FANDOM(S): High School Musical
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: Welp! He just got here and so nothing really? Sort of just getting a feel for stuff, figuring out if this is real life
or is this just fantasyNEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: He's not much of a fighter to be honest but shadow beasts might be an exception. Most likely he'll do what he can to make sure fairies/imps/etc don't get eaten! So there's that. Basically open for anything.

CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Aubri
FANDOM(S): Lackey's Mage Wars trilogy
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: Aubri has basically fled Caer Glaem for the Station, where he is currently recovering from wounds Celegorm was so kind to give him. He's oscillating between bitterness, anger, relief that it's just done and everything in-between right now. Friendly faces at the Station or over the lockets are definitely a-okay! After he feels that he's sufficiently recovered enough to go do things, he'll be traveling withe Ariadne.
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: "...fondness for eating birds..." Aubri's gonna tear apart some of these little buggers because what's better than taking out residual anger on shadow-monsters with a fondness for feathers? (Obviously, I don't have concrete plans yet. But they're gonna attack him. More than once, most likely.)

CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Maglor (Unseelie)
FANDOM(S): Tolkien
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: SO Mags just lost his baby brother. Again. And has promptly Reacted Badly(tm) as one does except with more "trying to find all of Clarisse's guilt buttons and MASHING THEM >|" AS A RESULT thanks to earlier shennanigans he's now heartless for 8 days, and when he gets his heart back he'll start doing the Fading thing, literally - yes, he's going to start going transparent. Slowly! And not very noticably, but yes. Mum is here now, and Celegorm reviving will help slow that down tho. THIS MEANS HE'S KINDA USELESS RIGHT NOW? .
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: sob Heartless Mags is almost a zombie this time round, eating and drinking when ordered only etc. Celebrian has his heart and will doubtless be using it to beat some sense into his head - whether it sticks when he gets it back we shall see. Shadows will happen when he has his heart back, so I dunno. His reaction will be largely tied his cast I'm sorry but he gets very insular like this. HE'LL BE VERY STANDOFFISH AND PRINCELY BUT HE'S NOT THAT BAD REALLY if people at the station want to poke him? Save him from the Shadows maybe coz he might just sit there and deadeye them (altho if you ask him to yell at them... Mighty Voice, dad named him =3 HE CAN YELL)
