TO: EVERYONE [mid-event #20]
[ This message is sent for all Summoned to see about a week after the dreams and Heralds made their presence known. ]
Hello everyone. I know we're all dealing with a lot right now, but I thought this was worth the surprise eyeball-script.
The Heralds of War likely need no introduction at this point, but some of us still remember when they first arrived a few years ago after a poorly performed ritual in Solvunn. During that time, I'd managed to make contact with Koth and have tried to maintain some communication.
[ Not necessarily advised--Himeka did this of her own accord and curiosity. Those who are aware of her tree-form may have noticed that some of the limbs have been wilting and rotting the more time she's spent reaching out to Koth. But that's neither here nor there. ]
She's not always easy to understand, but when we spoke when they first appeared, one word came through:
"Mission"
For years my friends and I have been wondering what this meant. Now that she's back, I sought clarity. Or...I guess confirmation.
I understand her more easily these days so I reached out to her earlier today and she did confirm that this is that mission. What's happening right now in all of our communities. I'm not sure if war itself is inevitable...but she seems to believe that what she's doing will help there to be peace afterwards.
I know many here have seen war in their own lives and on their own stars before this place. If you'd like to share your stories, I would welcome them. I don't think peace is ever as simple as we want it to be, but as for if this is the only path forward...
I'm rambling a bit. This may not be a grand revelation, but I thought it important to share that what is happening now may have been building for the last few years and mayhaps some time before that as well. Only now, we may have a part to play.
Please take care,

The Ramuh with the sylphs? Did you fight him too?
But I'm getting distracted, aren't I? Much as I'd like to tell the lot of them to fuck off in no uncertain terms... I'm in agreement with you. If our little glimpse of divinity is anything to go by, the gods must have different desires and agendas, just like us. It would be good to have allies among them who might be willing to assist their kin with learning the fine art of minding their business.
We'll not shy from it, but I think you and I both prefer to avoid direct conflict with the gods until we find ourselves with no other option.
no subject
[ May you ever walk in the light of the Crystal, Nero. ]
Yes, I fought him too. Though we had a decent chat afterwards.
It would be better if we didn't have to, yes...Julia thinks it might be dangerous to pit the gods against one another, which is a fair point. But what are gods without those who believe in them?
no subject
You won, I take it? Remind me not to get on your bad side. What did you chat about?
The question is whether it's more dangerous to let them continue to do as they please. You think it's worth trying to turn their followers from them?
no subject
Do we wait out the storm or fight it? It's a bit easier to imagine it when said storm is actually battle-able. But I think...if they are like we were, they may not even be on this plane right now.
wrapping? ๐
Then we shelter who we can, I suppose, until we have a true path forward.
wrap!
Yes. It may not seem the best, but for now...it's what we can do.
