What have we done..?
What have we done..?
On the edge of the forested lands on the island of Nachnite, a village called Aizsargi resides. Every winter at the time of the first snowfall, they host a festival where the locals would journey through the forest and up the mountains to face an obelisk made of pure ice. If one stared into the ice long enough... they may see a black figure pulsating and shifting inside. For generations, they would chant a binding spell to contain the darkness, a great spirit known as Avathar, from within. However, as time passed, the meaning of the spell, just like the tradition itself, got lost. The words were in an ancient language that faded away like the ancestors that formed them, leaving in its place the joy and wonder the festivities that time of the year brought.
The casters became unfocused. The words became slurred. The binding became weak.
Until... nobody spoke the spell at all.
One day, as the locals made it to the obelisk, they were greeted with a large, empty crater in the wall of the obelisk. The black figure that was contained within was gone. All that was left was an empty tomb.
Beacon have been receiving mass reports of malevolent shadows terrorizing the area. Children that played too long pass curfew have gone missing. Neighbors have been found with a ring of dark bruises around their neck accompanied with a smear of pitch black paint across their eyes, never to wake up again. The people are scared. Avathar has been released. Send him back.

EVENT PROMPTS
EVENT PROMPTS
1.) Fight the shadows.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated + 200 EXP
(This prompt can only be done twice for the EXP, after that you'll only be rewarded with nums.)
It is a known fact that shadows thrive in the dark. Avathar's shadowy underlings are no different. That is why a curfew has been set by the town's mayor to protect all of its citizens. People are required to be indoors by sunset, however not everyone heeds to these rules. As a result, children that don't make it to their door once the sun hides below the horizon were never to be seen again. Adults walking can be heard screaming as the shadows lunge at them, dragging or chasing their targets deep into the heart of the nearby woods where Avathar has created a maze of black vines, calling it his home.
The shadows have adorned themselves with the ivory skulls of the forest, bearing the shape of the spirit that passed. There are shadows in the shape of wolves, elk, wild cats, and more. Depict your traveler fighting them.
2.) Recover the children.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
Not fallen to the heavy slumber that other people in the town have, but found wandering outside past curfew by the shadows lurking around the forest's edge, some of the town's children have been lured into a shadowy labyrinth that the wilderness around has become. There's danger lurking around every corner, nightmares terrorizing them, as the scenery changes in the blink of an eye making the way back even harder...It looks like a dangerous and hard task, but they need help, and that's what you're here to do.
Depict your traveler attempting to, or actually rescuing one of the people lost to the shadow labyrinth the forest has become. Will they use a method to keep track of where they've been, like a rope or bread crumbs? Do they also get lost in the forest and find themselves in need of rescue?
3.) Bring back the guardians.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
It is said it was them who started the festivities as a way to remember the importance of the spell and celebrate the joy and wonder that would've otherwise been threatened by Avathar breakin free. And it is exactly that, Joy and Wonder, that those guardians represented and what people believe will bring them back from their own slumber.
Join the townspeople spreading what joy and fun it is to be had even in a dark time like this, wonder at the splendor that remains of this big celebration, and listen to the stories the people tell remembering those guardians, in hope they will listen to their tales and come back to seal the threat again.
4.) Reseal Avathar.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated + 200 EXP
(This prompt can only be done twice for the EXP, after that you'll only be rewarded with nums.)
Enough is enough. You can fight the shadows as much as you'd like but they will just keep coming back. As long as Avathar roams the forest freely, the shadows will keep rising from his wake and terrorize all any living creature that they find in the night because they want it to be known that the night is their territory and theirs alone. In order to stop this cycle, we must seal Avathar back in the mountains and teach the citizens the purpose of the festival again.
Depict your traveler doing one of the following tasks:
(You can compete this prompt several times to do all of the tasks.)
...luring Avathar deep into the mountains. He chases anyone with a source of light for they weaken his underlings.
...research literature involving the old guardians. Try to relearn the chant that was made to seal away Avathar.
...join the spell-casting to seal Avathar away in his tomb made of ice.
5.) Join an RP Party!
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): RP dependent (Nums + EXP)
There is a maze of a forest where shadows come to life, lurking around every corner, and a mountain with an obelisk in which a nightmare king was once sealed.... Let the DMs show you the way, as you attempt to reseal Avathar again.
Stay tuned for RP Party notices in the Discord Server!
