RE: The Notice Board - Maea - 02-11-2020 To all Outlanders; About one year ago, in the season of LongHeat 309 PC, I came upon information about how The Voice brought you all here. Through a complicated device, it was her intention to bring in aid from outside so that she might escape her prison, the Barrier that lay over the Hollwed Ground for roughly 300 years. This device works by collecting information across mulptiple worlds, and by copying it onto Caido, adapted to fit the laws of this world. Though her mission has now been accomplished, with the fall of the Barrier, the device appears to still be functioning. I have some reason to believe that this device might be located within the Spire, but I have not yet confirmed this. This means, in essence, that you who are here, now, are not the original versions of yourself. Somewhere, your true selves may still be alive, living their lives as they were before you were brought here. For all intents and purposes you are still REAL. Your souls are genuine and there is NO evidence that any of the gods treat you differently because of this. Upon death, your souls will still go to Mort, and you are still alive by the graces of Vi and Rae. If you have any questions regarding this, or can provide more information on the subject matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I can be most easily reached through the staff at the VlamVloed. It is my hope that this information will bring you all some measure of answer and closure, and I can only apologize for not being able to bring it to you sooner. Best Regards, Maea Valair RE: The Notice Board - Ronin - 02-19-2020 With the Temple (mostly) repaired, I wanted to take the opportunity to apologise for my behaviour at Fiat Lux. I did not intend to harm anyone other than myself, and in my grief it escaped my purview that others might care for me enough to intervene. I do not intend to return to the Hollowed Grounds. Too much has happened and there are too many ghosts here. But please seek me out in Torchline should you wish to speak with me. I must stress my reluctance, however, at using the portals that have been opened by the Voice. My journey back to Torchline shall be the last time I use such a device. I believe wholeheartedly that to normalise their usage is to play into whatever this renegade goddess plans. To my Ascended friends, I wish you no ill. But please think about the past, and the dangers of it repeating itself. Farewell, Ronin Taliesin RE: The Notice Board - Samuel - 02-20-2020 AN EPIC FOR A FAVOUR Looking for an individual or a group to capture THE PRINCE, the creature living in the Underground and take it to the entrance of the caves where I can guide it to the Voice's shrine.
It is very important The Prince be handled kindly and humanely. Any harm to come to the Prince will be enough to void the payment. In payment, I will write an epic tome cataloguing the life of the person (or persons) in question, that will take a prideful place in the Atheneum. Thank you. (OOC Note: If you do this, I will actually write the epic poem for you.) RE: The Notice Board - Sunjata - 02-20-2020 The Temple and shrine have been rebuilt and are now open. - Sunjata Senzaok RE: The Notice Board - Maea - 02-22-2020 I received a vision that suggests that the Elemental Storms that separate the Hollowed Grounds from the rest of Caido - and each land from one another - was erected by Rae to prevent The Voice from gaining access to the continent should the Barrier fall. They will not be settled by any means. Only when another portal is opened and their purpose has become void will the storms disippate. Please, consider the consequences of proceeding with further opening of these gateways. It clearly goes against the will of Rae to do so, and I'm concerned about repercussions should we continue to act without knowing more about the past, or any possible consequences in the future. I fear another war of the gods, like the one that preceded the Cataclysm, and I hope we can all agree that such an outcome is less than desirable. Sincerely, Maea Valair RE: The Notice Board - Amun - 02-22-2020 I know many of you admire the Dark Star, and heed his words. I, however, must urge you not to be blinded by his frankly unfounded worries. And Maea, you know I count you among my dearest friends. But I find myself needing to tell others what I have expressed to you in private. Those who follow the old gods always appeal to the past, as if any of us truly know what happened back then, and as if it was a better time. The truth of the matter is, we don't know if either of those opinions have any basis in reality. I would urge you not to look backwards, but forward. Don't let fear blind you to the fact that we can make real, actual progress, and work towards a brighter future. Can any of you honestly say that your lives have been worsened by access to the portals? Or that you are upset that new parts of the world have been opened up to you? Or that you are excited to find out what other lands are currently beyond our reach due to the machinations of Rae and the other old gods? People are always afraid of that which is new, but I would remind you both that there are real, tangible benefits to being able to travel to new regions, and that history is written by the victors. It is time for all of us to stop repeating the same cycles, and instead forge a new path. The Voice wants nothing but freedom. Perhaps it is time for you all to question the old gods and their actions and motivations with the same fervor with which you question the new. RE: The Notice Board - Oliver - 02-24-2020 DRAGON LAND There is a land filled with dragons just beyond the mountains of Halo. Tons of dragons. There is also a group of cultists who try to protect people from this land. Be wary. The cultists do plan to kill anyone they see and the dragons have the power to kill giants. Remain safe and choose what you do wisely. - Oliver
RE: The Notice Board - Quanil - 02-25-2020
My sister, Freina, a citizen by birth of the Hollowed Grounds, has been missing since the Fiat Lux Festival, when she was separated from our family during the chaos hullabaloo event. We miss her terribly and I must find her and return her to our family, or at least bring news of what fate has befallen her.
I have searched for her many places, but need three volunteers to help me safely search the Labyrinth for her, as I daren't go there alone due to the threats of the shifting hedges and the possibility of boggarts. Anyone who feels up to the task is welcome to come, at their own risk. I'll do everything I can to protect you, of course, but I am still new to adventuring.

My Plans as Natural Adviser
Recently you nominated me to be the representative of our Natural community here in the Hollowed Ground; a position I take very seriously indeed and will do my utmost to deserve your faith in my ability to use it for our greater good. My job as I see is not to further any divide between the Naturals and Outlanders but to make sure in any agreements or decisions going forwards, interests particular to Naturals are kept in mind. I will be working closely with Jigano, our Outlander Adviser, to make sure decisions are best for both sides, and with the hope that we can one day unify as a whole community. My plans so far:
If anyone would like to leave a suggestion, you can do so at the suggestion box in the temple. Samuel Wordsworth RE: The Notice Board - Deimos - 03-17-2020 Weapons Training is available in group capacity at the Militia Barracks. Munitions will be provided for you, but if you have your own, feel free to bring it. No experience necessary. - General Deimos Ignatius PQ Link: {PQ} substance and blood RE: The Notice Board - Amalia - 03-26-2020 The tensions between humans and gourds has grown ridiculous. Tomorrow I will be going to the outskirts to try and speak to the gourds regarding their unusual levels of violence. I ask you to try and refrain from mauling them until an agreement can be reached. These are, after all, creatures given life by Vi. Should you wish to accompany me, we will assemble at dawn in the outskirts. Please note that this is to be a non-violent mission. Aggression toward the gourds will not be tolerated, except in self-defense. {PQ} pumpkin parlay RE: The Notice Board - Oliver - 03-26-2020 I am planning on hosting an event where you will be able to understand your shifts and unlock more opportunities with them. Come with an open mind free of judgement to the Temple. This is a time to learn and become better, no fighting will be tolerated. - Oliver {Mini Event} paint splatters on your paws RE: The Notice Board - Delphia - 03-26-2020 The below passage was written by my hand, but dictated to me by Maea before she settled fully with my father Mort. It was her wish to convey her final thoughts, wishes, and emotions to those she held most dear in life, and whose stories she will tell with great joy to Mort himself. I hope these words bring you peace, and should you wish to speak with me, you may find me in Ludo's Woods. Simply call to the spirits, and I will find you. ~Delphia Thanatos Many times I asked myself where this journey began. If it was the day I decided to leave my brother's farm and stay at the Rathskellar over LongNight, to ease the burden of food on his family. -My- family. Or maybe, if it was that moment when the Spark Bird landed on the perch and I, for the first time, set foot outside on a LongNight. It was the first time I allowed myself to believe in miracles too. Or maybe it was that conversation with Jigano that -really- set me on my path. Being told that there is hope, even when you cannot see it yourself, is a powerful thing. But then, there was also that moment when I watched a man give his life for what he believed was the right thing to do. Ronin showed me what bravery truly looked like, and while I never really got the chance to speak to him, he still changed me. Enough that I eventually stepped in to alter my own fate, and set myself upon the path that led me here. I lost many things in my time. A mother, before I ever knew her. A father, before I could make him proud of who I had become. A brother, before I understood how beautiful life could be. A home, and friends, before I realized that some things can never be truly lost. That they stay with you, no matter where you go. We will never know where I went that year when I vanished. Even now, it is a riddle I have yet to solve. All I know is that I was put back into the world right where I left it - only, a little further away in time and space - and maybe there is some logic in that. Or irony, perhaps. To me, it really was only one year that passed in the end, since I hugged my brother for the last time. One Flowerbirth of grief, one LongHeat of love, and half a Leafchange before I followed him into the final rest. It seems so very brief, the time I was allowed to share with you. But rather than speak of what has been lost, please. Let me tell you of all that I gained. Confidence, to stand tall and speak my mind, even when no one wants to listen. Courage, to dream when it seems like the most dangerous thing in the world. Patience, well... I wish I could say I truly gained this, but let us be honest. It never was a virtue of mine. Friendship. Oh, so much friendship. I remember all of you who crossed my path. Your faces and your names are part of me, whether our time together was long or brief. Hotaru, fair fighter. It's too bad, isn't it. Had things gone differently, it could have been you and I. At least we got to spar together. I hope you find the home you are looking for. Melita, little spark. Don't let anyone quench that fire in you! I know you didn't like me, but I still enjoyed our talk. May your arrows fly straight, and your tongue stay sharp. Remi... It was brief, but it was fun! I hope you find a purpose you can live with, and live for. RE: The Notice Board - Deimos - 03-28-2020 If anyone would be willing to assist in refurbishing the prisons to a working order, please gather at the Ironbolt Penitentiary tomorrow morning. Thank you. - General Deimos Ignatius PQ Link: {PQ} color of rust |
