His Gracious Majesty the Divine King Messahl calls for aid!
About three months after the Festival of Lights, word has gone out to all the citadels and settlements of the world: a mysterious sickness has emerged in Messakai, and local physicians have been unable to determine a cause or a treatment. Concerned for his people's wellbeing, Messahl Himself has decreed that the gates of His city are open to anyone who is willing to come in peace and work to find a cure.
Some people are uneasy about this offer, both inside and outside of Messakai. As one of the last bastions of the rule of gods, the nation has its enemies, and ensuring peaceful cooperation and progress will require more than just physicians. Some outsiders have their eyes on Messakai itself, and the unique opportunity to gain access to the secrets of a former god. Meanwhile the sickness itself remains a mystery, and if a solution is not found it may not remain solely Messakai’s problem for long…

Previously: Lights in the Desert (9-11 October 2026)
Welcome to Yardis, one of the great cities of the world! A famed hub of commerce, technology and excitement, where you can find just about anything (and take it home with you, if you can pay the asking price).
Our story begins during the Festival of Lights, a celebration that brings in visitors from all over the world. Some seek opportunities, some seek adventure or escape, and some meet amidst the chaos to strike a bargain or seal a deal. This year’s event is generously sponsored by Oasis Technologies, which is holding a gala to open the festivities - and to advertise its latest grand project. The Collegium will also have a presence, sharing its expertise for the public good and the chance of a donation or two.
Not everyone in Yardis is thrilled with the direction the city is headed in, however. The less prosperous have been grumbling of late, what with the influx of refugees from Namassis and the beginnings of protests around factory working conditions. It seems clear that times are changing, but whether that is for the better or the worse depends on your perspective.
