Werew0lf 12024 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2023 “THIS. . . IS - . . RECKONING. . .” The great tsunami engulfed the capital of Aaun; swept into every street and house, drowning citizens - all innocent - with their corpses burbling up in the next coming days. Something had gone wrong, it seemed. Was it GOD who punished them for their crimes? Was it something otherworldly, influencing the mortal world? Some could hear screams from children begging for a saviour, whilst women ran in tow with babes to safety. The markets were drenched, and portions of some homes were destroyed and left engulfed by water. Yet, this was all damage that could be fixed in time. The news of this great tsunami goes far and wide. For the next coming days, all those who bore witness to the tsunami, victims of the disaster, would be met with hideous nightmares of its shadow looming over them - they would see white-feathered wings, enormous eyeballs, or walls made of flesh. This seemed to be worse for those who are veil-watchers. [Please send me a DM for clarification]. 56 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller 2180 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Bane, the infamous, illustrious, prospering merchant scratched his head. The soles of his feet just lightly touching a thin layer of water upon his shop's floor. "Does this mean I ain't gotta pay taxes?" 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neviah 977 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Astaroth slowly treaded out of the water that engulfed her, walking up to join the big group standing by to get ready to unflood Aaun "Never coming here again." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibn Khaldun 7729 Share Posted September 18, 2023 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅗𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 Morgause [ @far1ca ] and Cunimund crossed paths in the city square of Whitespire, the former riding in from the Barony of Bodbwodz while the latter kept clear of the vaulted architecture that towered above. An earthquake had convulsed through the city streets and drove Cunimund out of the tavern where he previously sat. Many of the capitol's residents flooded towards the Hand of Horen, but Cunimund grabbed Morgause and ushered her out of the capitol; they ran the opposite direction like salmon upriver. The two Cingedoz paid extra to have stablehands procure their horses amidst the chaos and rode for the Langkette Mountains. They watched from the site of their Merryweather runestone as that tsunami bore down on the bridge between the capitol proper and the palace and they rode alongside scum-riddled storm surges as they approached the palace after the tsunami had receded. The Cingedoz provided the means for many that day to cross the flooded bridge & streets and aided in getting many folks' bearings after the disaster. A tower of water whose heights mocked the heights of our Langkette, my memory is stained wet with weeping for the nightmares to come. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lapidary 379 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The Lurin lighthouse is occupied, now.. As the warning has been passed along by those who bore witness to this tragedy, a figure keeps watch over the ocean. Waiting should the tide suddenly turn. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boknice275 1188 Share Posted September 18, 2023 [!] Upon hearing news of the disaster in Aaun the venerable Knight rises to his feet and exhales. A sense of dread comes over Ser Philip's face as he contemplates the implications of the day's events. Who could have done this? Was it a freak act of nature or a work of sorcery or neither? How will Canondom recover from this blow to the heart of it's lands? These considerations and more weighed upon the Knight as he prepared to ride into Aaun to survey the damage. Before he left his chambers in warm Balian the Knight turns to face a sacred iconography of Owyn, which depicts him wielding a sword alight with the FIRE OF GOD. The Knight mutters a simple utterance beneath his breath as he turns from the depiction and departs, heading towards Aaun: "May GOD's fire warm the afflicted and deliver us from all Evil." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow1770 248 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Princess Lumia Anarion sat listening to the messenger. She laughed, a wicked sounding thing. “Oh no, I’m devastated. Not the humans. We must aide them in their times of need.” 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticRoller 591 Share Posted September 19, 2023 As Zelphar Kervallen Kagura, was given the warning of the message of the attack of the sorts, thinks about the good and bad about the humans. He would view in his own imagery the past in which the humans have done something to him or a group of his, but also the company he enjoys to be around in Aaun. As the one that left after giving the warning, he says "Well it seems as if karma is catching up to them." He'd smile the biggest smile that he has ever done from ear to ear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morigung-oog 2358 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Following the skullsplitting agony of enduring a vision while her surroundings of Aaun were washed away without mercy, Valindra took to investigating the heartless cur who had brought the wrath of the void down unto the good, GOD-fearing people of Aaun. Readying not only emergency supplies for those left without home, her path led her to various void-sympathizing settlements. At the end of the day, however, all the evidence she'd painstakingly gathered led her to one specific place, and one very specific person. "I've got you now... May GOD have mercy on you, for I won't." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
