As you step through the familiar portal in Evergate along with other Beacon members, there is a flash of light, and opening your eyes, there is what looks like a plaza, the center of a small city or area of a city reminiscent of the early Industrial Revolution. The buildings all around you are well built, and all of them decorated with lights that crackle and sparkle, perhaps a little duller than they once did. There's pipes built to the sides of each building that seems to circulate some sort of electricity throughout the area of the city the portal is at. Large decorations made of brass and other metals can be found mostly on the storefronts around the plaza.

Exploring further, however, reveals that is just a part of the city that has been sectioned off and closed, people huddle together inside some of the stores and larger buildings. Everything else outside the marked area looks darker, no light, nothing to power it.

Dire and dull as things may seem, there is always a workshop or two, or an artificer sitting at a bench with a trinket or two, tinkering. Creation and invention are still an obvious part of this world, even during times likes these.

Depict your character's reaction or impression upon arrival. What do they think of this world ? Can they imagine what it once was ?

Festivities, traditions and celebrations are all part of what makes a world's culture, and with theirs in the brink of collapse, some of those who remain want to celebrate their favourite holidays one more time. The celebrations may not be as big as they once were, but regardless, those hosting them would like to share them with the people helping them. You, Beacon Travelers. Join them and celebrate!

- Trinkets and Trials!
It's a show of the newest gadgets and trinkets that the brilliant minds of the world have to offer. Sure, there may not be much magic power to keep those running for long, but they're here to show off while they can!

- Dearly Departed
In every city or town, there is a large tree made out of wires full of empty spots where a lightbulb would go, during the day of the Dearly Departed, people gather around it, putting one up for a family member or friend that has passed away that lights up in what was their favourite colour. By the end of the night the tree is all lit up, a reminder and homage to those who have passed.

- Mech Rodeo
A bunch of mechanical bulls are let loose for people to try and ride on! They run down the streets of a city or town, tho this time it will be a much smaller area, for safety reasons, and whoever is feeling brace is welcome to try and hop onto one to see if they can hold on for the entire ride! Or just run beside them if you can keep up!

Depict your character not only learning about these, but also joining in even ? Celebrate and get to know the inhabitants of this world a little more before the inevitable.

Be it helping them get something they forgot, finding an old family heirloom or reuniting with a family member they got separated from in the chaos, the world outside of the safezones they have established is currently too dangerous to go out alone, plus, part of being a Beacon traveler is also giving a hand with smaller requests. Some times, it IS the small things that give people hope after all!

Depict your character(s) fulfilling some of these requests, listening to their stories, helping out some of the people, or perhaps denying some requests that may be too risky.

No matter how reinforced or how safe they think some of these safe zones are, there are always risks, specially with the so called Colossal Gods stomping around. A single step can make the earth quake, a yell can shatter buildings, not to mention the ability to bend the elements to their will with ease. So when one of these gets anywhere close to where people are, it can get really dangerous and those trying to keep everyone else safe will need all the extra hands they can get!

Depict your character(s) helping reinforce the walls around a safe zone, moving people somewhere safer or possibly even acting as a distraction for the colossus.

There's still stories to be told, or perhaps, it is not what remains nor the people there that'll have something to say, but whoever is actually behind it all.

RP Party, join and potentially uncover more about this world and what's happening to it! Also get EXP and Nums!
