Upon completion of the tower to The Sun, the shadow cast over the eastern lands started to thin and dissipate. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was gone. The people were left to look upon what the land they lived on had become. All the darkness, all the cold trapped the moisture inside the grazelands and the delta, with the sun once again on their backs, the trees and grass grew beyond normal proportion. The dirt had become mud, the entire land became something impossible.
A swamp. A swamp in the middle of the desert. How could it be? Would it last? Would the land heal over time? Or has it already healed, no longer wanting the people to go stomping around on it...
Only time will tell.
For now though, they were glad just to be alive.
Glad to be given a second chance.
The ash army had come to the doorstep of Stormgate City, this time they had a look of confidence in them, and yet something about them still seemed as gloomy as ever. The new variants came to the forefront of the legion, and one among them stepped forward to the Archanae guards at the gate.
At first all was quiet, even the typical groaning of the ash beings had ceased.
Then there was a sound, a whistling upon the wind, it grew louder and louder.
"We... have... come..."
The thing had spoken, or was it all of them at once? It was impossible to tell...
but it hadn't finished yet.
"We... have... come...
...to serve."
That day changed everything.
INTERMISSION
baxbound, Bramzter, chimericWilder, MasterBlade, and Palamedes have been put in suspended animation.
PM me when you find a good deal of spare time, until then I'll be waiting. See you next season boys.
Everyone else can still take their turn, as long as it doesn't disturb the aforementioned players, think of this as time to catch up on things if you have any time in the first place. Anyone can still post fluff/commentary/extremely minor actions whenever. I'll be updating if enough people show up and post. Hopefully ACT 2 will begin around winter break, but I'll wait till next summer if I have to. I ain't leaving a single writer behind, no sir.
If you want to discuss anything or have questions about the game just go to the IRC channel.
I'm available there most of the time, but don't expect me to respond immediately.
Thanks to all you folks out there for your support. I wouldn't be able to go on with you.
No problem, It just like sharing stories and shit you know. Eventually after the info dump I would like the two to go searching for stuff to complete a new trinket that symoblizes the whole situation in the Waykarian/Snaketribe lands
