CR & PLOTTING: SEPTEMBER

CR & PLOTTING: SEPTEMBER

Aguril started off with the opening of a Council-led Community Garden, a fixture that is sure to become a beloved part of the neighborhood. The Mirrorbound Council put in an impressive effort in having the project approved and putting in the work to make it possible! With a widely positive reception, the Western Residential District in which it resides will no doubt become a greener, richer place in the weeks and years to come.

A little later, in the Haven, some residents called for community help in cleaning out their cluttered basement, which turned out to be full of all kinds of crazy, enchanted, and just plain old items! Maybe you found something cool and useful, or maybe you just got yourself cursed, but either way, that basement really did need a spring cleaning.

Toward the end of the month, Mirrorbound saw a problem from earlier in the year, halfway across the country, turn up around Aefenglom and the Northern Outpost. Dangerous creatures known as Nuckelavee tracked some brave adventurers across miles and miles of Wilde to exact screaming vengeance. The Mirrorbound rallied to defend the people of the slums and the Outpost, and to exterminate the horde of beasts before they could claim more lives than they did.

It perhaps serves to hammer home the point that Aefenglom and Dorchacht share quite a bit these days, from problems such as Nuckelavee, to good things, such as...

The Price of Revolution Part 1

September's event, The Price of Revolution, will be a major three parter, including a surprise plot-relevant TDM! Part 1 will go up on the 19th, the TDM interlude on the 21st (which we will allow existing characters to top-level on), and Part 2 will conclude the event in early October. The calendar has been updated to reflect this. Location page updates will go up at some point before this event starts as well to ensure that everybody is up to date on the Dorchacht situation!

The invitations come toward the beginning of the month, hand-written and delivered by courier to all of Dorchacht's former refugees that now make their homes in Aefenglom, and each Mirrorbound that can be reached in the Haven and beyond: they are all invited to Dorchacht's Independence Celebration beginning on the 19th! Nearly a week of celebratory entertainment, bonfires, food, and drink, leading up to a final, large party on the evening of the 25th - the anniversary of the rebellion that freed the city from the vice-like grip of Morgana Drummond. Since Mirrorbound were instrumental in that victory, they are all invited to join them in Dorchacht as honored, VIP guests, whether they themselves were present a year ago or not.

There is much for Dorchacht to celebrate. Once Monsters were held as mind-controlled slaves to an upper class of Witches, but now they have equality - so long as you don't hold fast to the old regime, anyway. Education, agriculture, and trade have all improved drastically from how they were a year ago, thanks in part to Mirrorbound working so extensively with their people. They've also made headway into the Wilde, where before they never explored far outside their imposing walls, claiming back some new sections of land for farming and livestock. Many of these improvements will be on display during the celebrations, such as their first proper harvest, and many of the citizens have prepared small gifts for Mirrorbound in thanks for their group's part in securing their city's freedom.

This all culminates in a large, enchanted fireworks show on the 25th just after dark, to represent the strategic fires set during the final revolution that allowed the Rebellion to get the upper hand on Morgana's forces and turn the tides of their years-long fight. It's set to be a good time for all.

At least until an uninvited guest crashes the party.

As many Mirrorbound suspected and tried to convince the Three of, Morgana Drummond did not die in the Wilde when she and many of her followers were violently ran out of the city. A year later, she's returned, nursing a massive grudge. The party will become a battlefield on the streets of Dorchacht once more, until finally she will lay a spell across the entire city, tragically putting all of its citizens, including the Circle of Three, the current rulers of Dorchacht, into a deep, enchanted sleep.

The TDM will begin efforts, organized by Miss Nessie, to wake Dorchacht through a dangerous, experimental jaunt into purposeful dreamwalking, and Part Two in early October will deal with finding Morgana Drummond's base of operations and her final fate. The final outcome of this event is not yet set and player actions will factor in!

Please!!! I had your tab open but I couldnt come up with a tag I was happy enough with... Maybe we can combine apple a day and magic?

That's no problem! I'd be down for combining the two. Do you have a catch-all or anything we could do it on? I'm willing to write a starter if that's giving you any trouble.

I haven't got one this month yet either. I could start one on my previous one from last month, if you like? Otherwise I can probably start a new one for this month if you need it for AC purposes!

Heya! Just a quick check-in. I got up his open log, and I put up some stuff for the Apple a Day quest. I'll write up a custom starter for you, but do you have any preference for which hallucinations/tragic backstory you're interested in her seeing? Or if you have a specific tone in mind I can definitely think up another hallucination for you.
