The September Prince: General Help and Item Listing [Updated]

[Aesopian 1640]

The Wonkawood Village

 

The wonk village is now under the control of the September Prince. You can now find ancient, wild druids wandering its tunnels, and the many beasts of the September Prince. The wonks, formerly a peaceful and kind people, have been subverted by September, and now worship him as their new god. Thankfully, as the descendants were kind to the wonks before this event, the wonks still maintain a tenderness for the descendants, and are open to diplomacy.

The September Prince possesses Body Integrity, which is a measure of how intact his Tree Lord shell is. It can be harmed only when he is attacking nations, or when a warclaim is declared on the Wonkawood village. It regenerates 4.0% every week, up to his current Soul Integrity. If it is reduced to 0.0%, while his Soul Integrity is above 0.0%, then he will have to generate a new body over a few weeks, the descendants will have a brief reprieve from his onslaught.

 

The September Prince also possess Soul Integrity, which is a measure of how intact his soul happens to be. It can be harmed by attacking his Soul Trees, using artifacts of particular kinds, or using dark magic of a certain type, and of a sufficient tier, during nation attacks. If it is reduced to 0.0%, his soul will be destroyed. 

 

Nation Attacks 

 

The September Prince possesses a divine armor class, and so only takes damage from siege weapons, high-level magic (every five tiers of a magic possessed by the party grants one attack, you will be required to state the users contributing to the attack), and artifact weapons (message Aesopian over discord with a screenshot of the weapon at least one day before the event, and he will approve/deny it. You'll likely get only one attack using it). When he attacks a nation, you will be expected to use these tools to damage his Body Integrity. If you can reduce it enough, you will be able to drive him off. If you fail, then the region may be partially, or totally, destroyed.

 

Attacks led by the September Prince will consist of both PvE elements, in the form of fighting the September Prince's beasts and minions, and roleplay, in the form of emoting for siege weapons, magic, or artifact weapon attacks. Emotes must be spoken in shout. You do not need to carry artifact items with you in MC, simply sending Aesopian a picture beforehand is adequate.

 

Soul Trees

 

The September Prince is a Tree Lord. This means his soul is tied to a tree, and so long as it exists, even if his physical body is destroyed, he can regenerate. However, the September Prince is also unique, though not for a magical reason (well, mostly non-magical reasons). 

 

His tree is the quaking aspen, a species unique in that it can create clonal offshoots of itself. This is where the tree’s roots send up shoots from underground, creating new trees which are genetically identical to the original, connected by a common root system. During his first war in Atlas, September’s root network spanned the entire continent. He had hundreds, perhaps thousands of these clonal trees, which dotted the whole region. These wilted away to nothing while he slept, but the root network still remained. Now that he is awake, they have begun to sprout back up. So long as the root network exists, September is immortal. If it is destroyed, then his soul will be obliterated.

 

The big tree growing out of the Wonkawood isn’t special. Bigness does not equate to specialness. If it died, September would be inconvenienced at best. It would take longer to rebuild his Tree Lord body, since he would have to grow a new birthing tree, but the vast dormant network of roots beneath Atlas would still be there, ready to sprout anew. 

 

The health of the root network is represented in his Soul Integrity, a measure of how intact his soul currently is. By destroying the root network, and the soul trees it produces, the descendants can chip away at his soul. Since all creatures regenerate based on their soul blueprint, by destroying September’s soul, he can’t regenerate back to full health -- this is why he can only regenerate his body integrity up to, but not over, his soul integrity. 

 

We'll plop down 3 or 4 soul trees around Atlas at a time. When one is destroyed, another will sprout, somewhere. They are identifiable by their emerald green leaves, made of green glass. Parties of four or more are required to initiate combat with the trees. Much like normal soul trees, they require fifth-tier voidal fire, enchanted soul-damaging weapons, or another artifact (message Aesopian on Discord if you have an idea). They can also be destroyed using any other form of fifth-tier voidal evocation, or dark magic of any type. There is a three-day cooldown between attacking trees for a particular party, or the four biggest contributors for a larger party.  Remember, holy magics do not harm Tree Lords! To initiate combat with one of these soul trees, message one of the staff listed on the tree.   

 

These trees are not defenseless.

 

Autumn Wildwood

 

These are the lands which the September Prince has conquered. Though the descendants can still choose to try inhabiting them, it is a dangerous affair: the beasts of the September Prince roam these places. Occasionally, they will swarm in vast packs, rampaging through settlements established in this territory. Rarely, the September Prince himself may make an appearance. Only the hardiest of sorts can maintain a dwelling in this land.

 

September Items

 

Please find below the item listing for the September Prince's force's items, detailing the relics they offer. This information is considered general knowledge for those who have visited the September Prince's chamber. Speak to the archdruid to exchange goldenleaf for items. 

 

Some of these items have restrictions on who can purchase them. To purchase any, you must first buy September's Bond. Some are race-restricted, or restricted behind possession of particular magics. Wonk tokens may be converted into goldenleaf, with three tokens being converted to two goldenleaf.  You do not need to keep these items in your inventory, you need only a screenshot of the item with your username as the signed name, by staff. If an item is lost, contact staff to see it returned. We strongly recommend NOT keeping these items in your inventory.

 

The archdruid also sells the typical wonk items.

 

These items are approved by Delmodan and FlamboyantRage. If you have concerns, or suggestions for items, please contact Aesopian (GE#1665). If found on a body or in a chest, these items cannot be used to identify their holder.

 

Gaining Goldenleaf

 

This is not too hard. Take screenshots of your roleplay which benefits the September Prince, and report back to the inner chamber, deep in the village of the wonks, in the wonkawood. Speak there with an ET (listed on an entrance to the chamber) to receive goldenleaf, or message your screenshots to Aesopian over discord for evaluation. You must be bonded to receive goldenleaf after the first is acquired. 

 

Currency:

Goldenleaf [Leaves]: A leaf taken from September’s soul tree, coated with amber. It glistens with a yellow brilliance. The imprint of a thumb has been made upon it.

Yes, and Cervitaurs. I believe Sprites and Spriggans are also soft shelved at the moment, so that's most of the item list right there.

As far as I know, Satyr, Cervitaur, Sprites and Spriggans are all soft shelved, so players who have apps for them can still play them.

[Aesopian 1640]

Update: Clarified descriptions of a few items, and added an item. 

[Aesopian 1640]

The soul trees are now vulnerable to other forms of high-tier evocation and dark magic.
