[ ooc: Jesper is green & Cid is purple. ]

Hello you lot! A few of us have been talking for a long time about the possibility of making our own colony in Abraxas, sick of the way the territories used us and inevitably as we know now, turned on us. It wasn't very feasible before as long as we were stuck within, but that's no longer the case. Those of us who are in the Feywilds now found that the Fey abandoned their land and Elizabeth, the lass here who helped us, promises that the Fey have left for good. She closed the door herself to their other land, they can't come back.

That left us with an entire territory where no one is in charge. There are buildings, homes, businesses, and an entire infrastructure set up for a community that is now gone. We think we can create an official Summoned home base in this land and make it our own.

We’re well aware that for many of us, our concerns currently lie with the Singularity’s continued expansion. We’ve no desire to detract from that concern or the efforts being made to address it… but I’d wager that there are some who feel as if their potential contributions might be limited at best.

If your skills lie primarily within the bounds of the mundane, or if you find that you aren’t busy enough already — we have need of you. Anyone who can hunt, gather, garden, cook, barter, sew… The list goes on. If you haven’t an idea of what you might do, I’m more than certain we can find something of use for you. You can speak to Jesper or myself as you see fit.

We’re also looking for a volunteer or two to speak with Nocwich, see if they might be interested in an agreement with us. [ Neither of them are on BAD terms with Nocwich but someone else would definitely be a better call for Reasons. ]

I can’t guess at what comes after this business with the Singularity is settled, or if there’ll be an after at all, but if there’s a future to be had for us… I’d like for it to be a better one. One that we’re prepared to meet.

The Fey were able to live independently here for a thousand years or something. We can do the same. If we can trade with the Nether and Nocwich we won't need the help of the others and good luck to them trying to come back here to take us. This could be our fresh start. Who's with us?

Hello. I hope everyone is safe and well within our new boundaries. Please feel free to reply if you would like to check in with anyone.

While in Solvunn I made the effort to reach out to the god Umbvagher to see if he would answer some burning questions on our mind. Umbvagher is one of the New Gods who we know for certain now were Summoned in 1700. Umbvagher is responsible for showing some of us that vision last year, indicating we too will become gods as he did in time.

I knew that some people were concerned that we had no choice but to follow this path, so I asked him if there were Summoned in his time who did not become gods. He said that not everyone ascends so it is not written in stone that will happen to us.

When asked if people were able to voluntarily leave, he told me the following: "You should tell your friends that if you ever want to do something here? There's always a cost. That's for gods and mortals both. And there's no turning back once you make up your mind, so you better be sure you know what you want."

He also informed me that the Singularity has never acted this way in his recollection and he thinks we may have to act. He said that some of the gods may be willing to help, but others like Zorne want the chaos.

I am afraid he was not able to provide me with many details but I thought it wise to share what I can with the collective.

Uhhh roll call? I know I'm not the only one who suddenly found herself elsewhere. Thorne's ... real interesting.

If someone in Solvunn could check on the orchardists, I would appreciate it, they're a really nice family and they'll be worried.

To the Summoned –

Right then, sorry to blast this into all of your eyeballs first thing on this fine morning, but it seemed like the sort of thing most of us would be interested in discussing. We’ll get right to the point.

Some new nonsense is happening with the Singularity. A few weeks ago, Dion and I paid it a visit on the Horizon side. I didn’t offend it but we didn’t get much out of it. In light of recent events, we’ve gone back, and it seems as if it’s feeling a bit more lively now.

In our initial meeting, the only feeling, if one can call it, was a sort of vague recognition of us, particularly so when I made mention of our potential future. My personal experience with the Singularity is quite limited; however, other experiences indicate this is not unusual. What is unusual is this new state of the monolith as of now, a sort of alert consciousness.

Istredd’s taken it upon himself to do some proper follow up, so we’ll let him get on with what he’s found.

The Dimming happens on December 21st of every year but the Singularity starts waning throughout the month of December. It is dormant on that day, enough that people can visit in person. I've been there twice. It is the natural cycle of the Singularity. Cid saying it's feeling a bit more lively is deeply concerning, it is supposed to be slowing down right now.

After hearing about the tremors causing havoc on the outskirts of the crater, I decided to investigate. I had a suspicion. Going inside of the crater around the Singularity kills the natives of this world. We are instead thrown into the Horizon. Many of us experienced that in April during the collective vision we had, when our territories threw us in there.

I am sorry to say my worry was well-founded. The tremors from the Singularity pushed into the territories and the crater has taken ground. I recommend that no one from the Summoned investigate closely. For right now we don't know if this is reflective of what's to come or just a strange one-time incident. I don't want anyone to panic, but we should keep an eye on it.

I currently do not have an answer as to how to stop it or how to force it into dormancy. I know that there are people in our community who have a connection to it. If you could approach it and see if it will communicate anything worthwhile, or see if there is a way to calm it, that might be helpful.

For now, I would recommend those who are near the base of the crater give it adequate leeway. From the amount of power it appears to hold still, we can only estimate it will continue to grow.

[OOC: Purple is Cid, blue is Istredd, gold is Dion.]

[ 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,

水

Hi everyone, it's Julia Wicker here again. When the Singularity was struggling a few months ago, before the -- what are we calling it? Vision? Hallucination? Anyway -- god drama, I came on here to mention what the Singularity was communicating with me. It wasn't a lot, but it did seem to make people aware that it was more than a giant magic rock.

I don't know if anyone else has had this experience since that all went down, but it felt like it was calling to me again, and I went to connect. I know that even though we couldn't 'fix' what it was upset about back then, it still seemed like a good idea for more than two people to have a bond with it, so if you feel that pull and you're interested in going to say hi, it turned out well for me! I can go with you, if you're unsure.

AND Unrelated to that, I wanted to mention that the spellwork from my world works really well here, so if people want to learn new magical skills that aren't native to here, or you don't have access to a lot of it, I'd be happy to teach you! I figured a few things might have come in handy with our more recent calamity, so if you want to meet up in Nocwich, I'm there. Solvunn folks, you know where to find me.

Sorry I rambled a bit! Thank you for reading if you did.

[ooc: feel free to poke me on plurk or discord @ theskyisnew if you'd like to handwave Julia meeting up with your character so they can learn some spells/go to the Singularity. The mods asked people to go to plotting if they want an official connection, this is just if you wanted your character to have an IC push.]

Hi, everyone. My name's Jack.

Some of you know this already, but I'm a writer. I kept a blog back home, and I was working on adapting it into a book series, but that didn't really pan out, considering the whole... temporal kidnapping thing. Several months ago I started writing for a few periodicals, and then eventually published my first real book here in Thorne shortly after. Which is pretty cool! But not really what I came here to talk about.

Writing, for me, has always been a kind of coping mechanism. I'm not always very good at analyzing things real-time, my brain works much better in hindsight, and sitting down to recount the things that I've been through helps me process it all in a way that's easier for me to really understand on a deeper level.

Also, for full transparency, it helps me keep a check on my sanity. It started as a suggestion from my therapist, actually, which is a much longer story that I won't bore you all with right now. The point is, having a written account of things that have happened, which are verifiable and which line up with my memory of events months or years later, has really helped me.

So I was thinking, after everything we just went through, it might help some of you guys, too. I want to put together an anthology series. If you're not familiar with the concept, it's basically a book, or several books, containing a combination of works from different writers or artists all revolving around a central theme — in this case, the theme would be surrounding our shared alternate reality. I thought maybe if we all had the ability to write stories, or poems, or make art, or just express ourselves about the absolutely unbelievable events of eight hundred years of interconnected lifetimes, maybe we could all understand each other (and ourselves) a little better.

At the very least, maybe some of us would feel better.

You don't have to use your real name, you can take as much artistic liberty as you want. It could be a story, or a song, or art, or whatever you need to do in order to express yourself. And then, eventually, when everybody's finished, I'll put it all together and make sure anybody who wants a copy gets one.

So, yeah, that's it. If you're interested, just let me know, I guess.

( ooc: I've gone ahead and created a master post here for anyone who wants to contribute to this! Each comment would essentially act as another section or chapter of the book. You can either have your character actually write out a story, or you can provide a summary and link directly to a thread if you'd rather handwave the retelling! You're also welcome and highly encouraged to have characters submit poems or in-character artwork! Feel free to hit me at

paingravy or find me on Discord for any questions or suggestions! )

Hey, so I'm assuming at least some of y'all found that sparkler thing in your domain? If you haven't already, maybe..... don't touch it? Like at all. Except to bury it or throw it in a trash compactor or something.

Also probably do a quick sweep around your domains and check for anything else weird or out of place or creepy. Or with the Fool arcana. Just a thought.

Selfies might be a bad idea right now too.

Thorne Summoned, Nott is getting bombarded by these winds, many of their boats are sinking, in disrepair, or in danger. I can teach people wind and shield spells in case. If you're willing to come help them, and the hospital could still use assistance, please come through the portal.

To the rest of the Summoned: are you experiencing the same heavy winds? I haven't heard if it's across the continent.

[ooc: feel free if you're in Thorne to add this to your catch-alls or any threads as prompts.]

To the Summoned of Thorne,

I have a proposition, a humble request, or perhaps an opportunity -- depending on how you choose to view it.

As you likely know by now, Kell and I have taken up residence in the city of Nott, which (as you also likely know) continues to be short on resources not as freely available there as they have been in the castle town. Recently, a plan was put in place to renovate the old hospital in Nott, which has been in disrepair and requires various physical upkeep, as well as staff.

If any of you should find yourselves with extra time you wish to donate, it would be well appreciated. If you have experience with architecture or building, that's great -- if not, that's not a problem. We need people to carry supplies, help make and bring meals for those doing the manual labor, or really just anyone who can hold a hammer and follow basic instructions. If you want to volunteer, work will be found for you; there are always never-ending lists of tasks, and never enough hands to take them up.

The weather is cold and wet now, but we're getting started on the interior. If you're willing to cast warming enchantments, that's also an option.

I can list more ideas if needed, but feel free to offer your talents. Surely, uses will be found for them. And I know you're all a talented enough bunch.

One more thing -- thank you to all who volunteered their time, coin, or gifts to the orphanage last month. The matrons have asked me to pass along their gratitude, and the note that they would continue to appreciate volunteers there too, as they don't have enough adults to mind the children at this time.

I know this has been a long-winded note. Thank you for your time.

Our door is always open to friends. Please don't be shy.

Yours,

(( ooc: feel free to handwave your character helping out at any of these things, incorporate it into your own logs icly, etc! this will be an ongoing project spanning at least a few months, so also definitely hit me up ooc if you want your character to take a more hands-on or leadership approach, or if you have any other ideas!!

the location is an old infirmary in Nott. NPC locals will be working on it, as part of the project is to provide jobs for people who need them. ))

I like to think that we group of Summoned should celebrate each other's accomplishments, and SOME OF US are too humble to share. But we have enough friendships across borders that it seems just inherently wrong to keep things to ourselves.

With that in mind, our beloved genius Viktor is being awarded an honorary degree at the esteemed Grand Academy of General Science for his impressive technological work. I know that many of us have benefited from his work and therefore he will have to live with the acknowledgment of that whether he likes it or not.

SO even though he hates this and he's probably going to uninvite me from his shop forever, I want everyone to know! To the Free Cities folks, we'll be attending the ceremony to cheer him on, and there will be an afterparty at his shop. I believe Hilda has the invitations detailing where to go and when.

Also they gave him a great nickname called the "Doctor of Illumination" which I love.

If you find me murdered by being bludgeoned to death with a cane, know this: I regret nothing.

Hi. I need everyone fighting monsters to tell me what arcana each monster is.

Now.

It's important.

[this message will arrive into the awareness of all summoned. however, given the nature of this content, with both istredd and wanda’s telepath abilities combined, they’ll make it so that the summoned can choose to read it at a later point in time when it isn’t a nuisance to them; an unread message, as it were. they will also telegraph the images linked into the minds of those reading as they read, for ease.]

This is Wanda. Istredd and I have talked about the importance of making this information available to all Summoned.

What we are going to detail here are events that happened a few months back. It has to do with Josselyn Creed—those in Solvunn would have noticed her ashes displayed in the main square of the Primary Settlement. It has to do with the abductions that took place, what happened to those who were taken, and what those of us who stayed behind were able to uncover.

It might not be an easy read, especially for those who were taken. But we think it’s important that we are all on the same page. To be aware of our surroundings and cautious of the intentions of the natives here some more. Any comment or action that may seem a little odd might be worth taking note of.

And… perhaps this can bring some closure to those who are still feeling the effects of what happened.

( information re: those left behind )
( information re: those taken to the pit )
( information re: execution and interrogation )

We still don’t know who the original shrines were to, or what the shrine monster was–whether it was a god itself or a servant of a god, nor where it is now. Motions are currently being considered to be pitched to our factions requesting access to the island and the ruins to investigate. We don't know if they'll allow us, but we're trying.

It might also be worth considering more people learning High Magic in order to counter this sort of thing. Solvunn is the place where this kind of magic is prevalent, but… I could share what I know with others who are skilled with magic in the other nations so that they can teach it to those around them, too.

We’ll meet at some point–all of us–in the Horizon to discuss what we can and should do next. We will let you know when. If there are any questions or additional information to be shared in the meantime, feel free to do so.

( ooc: this means that now every summoned has ic knowledge of what happened with josselyn and her cult! we will be setting up a mingle in september for characters to get together, from all factions, to discuss things more in depth after some time has been given to digest the information. also to avoid the event log lol )

bestfuneralever

does any1 know what the deciding factor is 4 the mages dragging us in2 this world?
there doesnt seem 2 be much of a pattern…
we have just as many supernatural/superhero/magic types as not
theres adults as much as theres kids (sorry not sorry to all the teenagers: ur still just kids, deal w/ it)
so whats the common denominator
whats on their checklist

personally i think its a requirement 2 be super hot if ur summoned
every time we get together 4 some swanky party hosted by someone its like a fucking hollywood extravaganza
this is not a complaint but it IS weird right
like are we being fetishized by the natives???
(THAT gets real weird when u think abt the teenagers tho Y I K E S)

thoughts/opinions?
(do we think they even specifically get 2 choose who they pluck out of their lives or is it all at random?
magic is chaos, right??
come @ me research bros ik ur out there)

[Threadjack away! There are no rules & I’m not your mom!]

I know that this is all technically available in Horizon, but

if there was one food or ingredient you could bring to your faction from your home, what would you want?

I miss nachos. With that yellow 'cheese' that comes from a pump, and jalapenos.

Yo, it's ya girl, Gideon.

So I kinda wanted to just bounce this off a bunch of people, you know? To get an impartial perspective. It's something I've been thinking about for a while, but I wanna hear other takes on this please and thanks.

Say there's this Empire of necromancers, right? The Empire stretches over a whole bunch of planets, nine home planets and then lots of others that act as necromancy fuel or some shit.

The Empire is ruled by this one guy, who is God. He was also just some dude at some point before the resurrection but now he's God. For reasons. Don't ask me about the reasons, I don't know the answer.

Like 10, 000 or so years ago there was some catastrophe that wiped out all life on all these planets, and then God came along - he's also a necromancer, by the way - and resurrected everyone.

So now he has this Empire where a bunch of people are necromancers and some are just regular folk with no aptitude for necromancy. And he's got like, this huge military force made up of necros and soldiers and battle ships and weapons and stuff. And this military force fights to protect God and the Empire from his enemies who wanna destroy him and all his people for like, no good reason at all. Jealousy, maybe.

This is a very condensed version, but yeah. What I wanna know is, what does this sound like to you? Totally reasonable behaviour or like...something else?

Anyway, come at me.
