From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

Court of the Fallen was created in October of 2018 by Odd, Honey, and Crooked.
Skinning and hosting by the epically talented Kaons, and functionality fanciness by the coding magic of Neowulf. If you ever see either of them around, make sure to show them some love!
For those unaware, Safrin's bracelet has begun to glow.
I am not certain if these things correlate, but we have also had alarming changes in weather, and a strange variant of plants. Are your lands experiencing the same?
(Deimos receives a neatly penned letter not long after.)
Deimos,
This is unsettling news. Thank you for letting us know.
Stormbreak has been experiencing extremely stormy weather - to the point that it is making travel within our region difficult. It is certainly outside of the norm. I am not aware of any changes in our local flora, but we admittedly do not have as much as the other regions in that regard. I will let you know if I learn of anything else that seems relevant.
The weather in King’s End is not out of the ordinary. As for strange plant variants, I haven’t heard of any here yet, either. I will update you if that changes.

Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
The tides in Torchline are unusually high for this time of year, but the monsoons have not caused damage. I have not heard of unusual plants, but I will investigate and let you know what I find.
(Penned in identical nuances again, an assortment of information has been gathered and sent to the following, once more: Sohalia, Dantalion, Harper, Hadama, Phoebe, Sunjata)
Thank you all for getting back quickly. To detail what has been shared:
The Hollowed Grounds has monsoons. Stormbreak is experiencing storms that make travel difficult. King’s End has nothing out of the ordinary presently. The Torchline tides are higher than normal. Halo is experiencing melting.
Nothing yet about plants – but perhaps Halo is the only one.
Do let your citizens know of any current alterations too.
If any circumstances or information is discovered, please do not hesitate to reach out. I may be sending guild members to investigate if there is any new flora in the Wilds as well.
A strange flower has now been found in Torchline. It is similar to one of our native flowers, but the petals are grey instead of red and orange, and its scent has changed from sweet to one of corruption. There are shadows around it that are difficult to describe, but are not cast from anything natural.
I have also heard reports of some of our river stars acting strangely. Those with darker colors are more aggressive in their hunting, and may now be able to drain life energy. I have not seen one for myself, but I trust those who have.
I’ve been monitoring the weather in King’s End. Everything has remained the same and hasn’t shifted. That being said, I can confirm that the river stars are acting differently here as well as they are in Torchline as per Hadama and others.
I also have recently encountered a plant in the Climb that seems to have a similar change. The Spineblooms there have even sharper petals now, emit a dim glow, and where they used to smell nice, they now smell terrible and strange.
Safe travels.

(Another collection of identical letters is sent out; quick, succinct, and precise in its wording, to Sohalia, Dantalion, Flora, Hadama, and Sunjata):
Safrin has returned, but severely weakened. The bracelets are full, and whatever threat has been looming is too strong for her to conquer, though we have yet to discover what it is. Please be on the alert, and inform your citizens.
If need to meet, plan, or discuss, perhaps we can do so with the new season.
Be careful. Let us know if anything else seems strange or odd.
karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Hey gang,
I dunno if this is relevant, but we killed a weird void fyrhund in the Climb not too long ago. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary (other than the void bit), but the bite it gave me still hasn't healed and it's been like...ages.
I'm totally fine, though. Pretty sure Hadama will tell you all if I start turning into a demon.
