the call
Eight more cycles of heat and snow, before the call will come. Eight seasons until war. The tools are ready, but the warriors are not. Eight seasons more to make haste, to find the relics and prepare.
The final grains of sand trickle from the hourglass. Longheat hands the baton to its sister of changing leaves, changing colours, changing fates.
And the call is right on time.
Wordless and yet felt emphatically in the bones of every rock and race and creature across the continent, Caido screams a desperate plea for deliverance. From the Summit of the Draig Cordillera, the force of their cry ripples through the very ground itself.
Oceans churn and earth rips itself asunder. Volcanoes retch fire and ash, and foul winds rake across the land. Caido breaks, and Caido breaks in turn.
From within the belly of a god gone mad and the lands they nurture, beasts begin to stir. Old things, angry things, the kings and queens of their demesnes rise to the surface. And they march on the very world around them.
But the call begs to be answered, and upon that lonely summit, Caido waits for death or salvation.
It is time. You know who you are.
Welcome to Leafchange 314 PC: War. You made it, congratulations! It's going to be a really busy and exciting couple of weeks (we estimate, anyway), and so here are a few ground rules that we hope will give you some useful information and that will help things go smoothly!
- You might have noticed, but there is no Seasonal Event for Leafchange! Things are going to be hectic, and your admins didn't think that having clusters of SE threads would be very helpful for our players' stress levels or timelines!
- The "Big Fight" cinematic for our 10+ levelled characters will be written and posted in this thread in chapters, so watch this space!
- At least three regions will be playing host to a KQ, and there will also be a number of PQ+s available as well. We anticipate that our level 5-9 characters will participate in the KQs and our level 1-4 characters will do PQ+s, but you decide how you want to play. Difficulty will be based on the average level of the party, and regular KQ/PQ+ rules will apply.
- Halo KQ: {KQ} time to dig up your grave
- Halo PQ+: {PQ+} freedom
- Hollowed Grounds KQ: {KQ} here's your judgement, here's your reckoning
- Hollowed Grounds PQ+: {PQ+} mutiny
- Torchline KQ: {KQ} blood on the crown
- Torchline PQ+: {PQ+} fracture
- Stombreak PQ+: {PQ+} soar
- Halo KQ: {KQ} time to dig up your grave
- All PQ+s should be considered dangerous for the war. Death is possible for anyone who has remained outside during the war, even for PQ+s.
- Yes, there will be ramifications for the regions based on the results of these quests!
- And this is a biggie: please making posting a priority if you are in a quest - we don't want people to be stuck in the war forever!
- We'll make Discord chats to enable you to ask any questions!
- Obviously your admins are going to be working absolute overtime while war is taking place, so as much as possible, please refer to the guidebook and to the helpdesk to ask any general questions. (Obviously if you have character specific queries, come to us in your admin chat!)
- Most importantly: HAVE FUN! We really hope you enjoy what you've helped to create <3 Oh, and enjoy our curated war playlist, too!
