On Ethereal Tides - Transition Event

[Wretched 2075]

The final cry of Orgon resonated across the fallen realm of Vailor, with his defeat his final act was to open a great portal out at sea that led directly to the spirit plane, allowing for his taint to spew forth uncontrolled and unmoderated. The opening of this portal sucked the destructive spirit, Orgon, dry of his power, sealing his demise and forcing him deep into the spirit realm, where he may never recover. The taint quickly consumed all life in its path, laying waste to cities, forest and mountain, but the Temple Docks were the first to fall to the taint, its once magnificent centerpiece tree withered to a dry husk.

 

 

A mysterious stranger duely appeared atop the Dock's Auction House, his identity still a mystery. His voice rocked the skies, revealing to the Descendants that the Spirit Realm held the key to their salvation. He spoke of a second portal within the Plane of Spirits, that would take them away from this awful place. The Descendants, with no other option to turn to, obeyed the guidance of this stranger and boarded their ships. As the sky fell black under the thick smog of Orgon's taint, the Descendants sailed forth to the portal that had destroyed their world, and entered a new world unlike any other they had seen.

 

 

For some time the Descendant's advance was unhindered as they sailed calmly across the Ethereal Tides of the Spirit Realm. But an entity that inhabited this place made itself known, drifting with an unsettling air of grace between the ships, speaking to each of the Descendants in turn. This spirit was called 'Varunav, the Spirit of Warning'. Apohet had sent the spirit to enact its purpose and warn the Descendants of the path ahead, speaking cryptically at how they were unprepared for the world they sought to enter, and how what lay beyond them was like nothing they had experienced before. Varunav warned the Descendants that the creator and keeper of the spirit realm, the Daemon Apohet, did not grant them passage. But with courage in their hearts and adventure in their soul, the Descendants proudly sailed onward, embracing the danger to come.

 

 

Wave after wave of Apohet's spirits attacked the sailing vessels, taking forms of fire, water and death itself. The boats each sustained significant damage and lives were surely lost in the conflict, but beaten the Descendants were not. They fought for many hours, but their advance through the Spirit Plane was never faltered. No matter what Apohet could throw at this great fleet, he was unable to stop them. And so they were victorious, and sailed through the portal at the other end of the plane, emerging into a new world, and a new beginning.

 

But questions remained unanswered:

 

Who was the mysterious stranger that guided them? Why did the spirit realm connect to this new land? Why did the previously silent Daemon, Apohet, seek to stop them? The Descendants could only pray that they discover the truth in the world they were about to inhabit,

 

The Isles Of Axios

[BonesOfTheEarth 2252]

Lefkos would remain below the deck of the Orenian boat STOLEN FROM THE DAWNSTRIDERS, talking with friends and only occasionally checking the carnage outside.

"So... How long on boats?"

*Avern thinks we are all going to die.*

"I forgot a potion." The Mali`Aheral groans.

"But won't Orgon just literally follow us to Axios"

[Gladuos 869]

A large, old man with long singed grey hair remains hunched atop the decks of the Orenian ship, surrounded by the younger warriors. The ship below aches and moans from its injuries, lazily shifting onward in a defiant manner. Blood rolls down the man's clenched fist onto his weapon, crawling down slowly to the wood below. His hazel eyes stare forward as the fire roars behind.

"God have mercy on us."

"Let's throw the Orenians overboard." Says Steven.

Alice sits proud but shaken within her pineapple helmet. ((Didn't realize this was an rp post. Kill me.))

Nele Elverhilin stands amongst her friends and family on the Mali'Ame boat, proud of the arrows that hit the "things" they encountered and the times she brought down her shovel upon their heads, though she remains unharmed.

*Mia Interleaf comes above deck after the last monsters have died, surprised by what she sees...* "Malin, please have Kira have come through..." *her eyes widen* "And Holly! Oh malin where is she!" looks over at the other ships, hoping the blind woman managed to come through as well.

Kira Winterleaf smiles as her gaze meets her sister's. "Mia!"

Dirk found out that his shield was surprisingly effective against fireballs.

Braelynn Copper would sit below deck, her eyes are fixated on a book that she'd read until landing.
