THE PANDEMONIUM CLOCK

[!] Once again, a missive was dispersed about the major cities of Aevos; this time, it was more reserved and short, not elaborating on details. It promised a sinister secret.

TO ALL DENIZENS OF AEVOS,

 

It has become abundantly clear that the formation of the Riftmakers Association is complete, and I have the corps necessary to move forwards. There is no need for me to write further on such matters; however, I felt it was necessary to deliver a warning.

 

The people of Nevaehlen, Norland, and Hohkmat, as well as auxiliaries from the Canonist Church, have intervened upon the place of my experimentation and destroyed the large Tear which was situated within the swamp, creating a small hollow there.

 

This means that my ventures can progress in stage. Already at that site we confirmed the efficacy of the artifice of the beyond; already, potent things have been forged, which are currently held in secret, but are sure to make waves upon the world in their own time. However, these creations will ultimately pale in comparison to what is to come.

 

That is why I write this: from here, the level of danger will increase. I do not begrudge you to interrupt my experimentation, as Voidal Tears certainly pose a danger to the integrity of the continent. However, to put it simply, involvement in upcoming matters will likely result in intense danger that cannot be circumvented, and affected parties may experience the total obliteration of their soul, without chance of recovery by any method.

 

If I am left to my own devices, the danger is intensely reduced. I have no intention of allowing my next creation to be destroyed, and I will mitigate the effects of its existence. Should this be prevented by disturbances, calamity will likely occur even before you reach the place of the Tear, and its subsequent destruction.

 

Otherwise, many great artifacts will be created, and the Tear itself will be harnessed as a tool, fueling a great machine. The hands of mortals will be empowered to a degree that cannot be emulated by any mortal magic, surpassing even the blessings capable of being endowed by deities upon us.

 

To those curious and sympathetic, I may still be contacted.

 

Pierce the heavens.

“Not in my backyard!” complains Shugo Kato knowing smogger bloods and voidal crips could never get along.

The infernal tearrorist cackled to herself as she looked over the penned missive, setting it alight with a small flame. As she watched the parchment get reduced to nothing more than mere soot and ash she muttered to herself in her raspy voice, "The next one. . the next one will be remembered in history books."

A Dwarf of questionable mental stability cannot help but read this missive and be more intrigued than alarmed. What could you create using the power of a tear? What manner of machine did he speak of?

 

It was all very... interesting.

A mage silently debated.

“Escalate and be escalated against,” says the Grand Magister icily. “Cerusil and his Ferrymen were brought low by the might of the world in the last war.”

 

“Does he think he will do better this time?”

An Inferi gets ready for the next fight.

[Karina 1894]

The draugar seemed entertained, and - seemingly pleased. It had been too long, since she had come to visit. Many things had eaten at her attention.

Now, perhaps, a clearer focus was presented. If nothing else, the scholarly mind of the creature would enjoy the chance to study the ruination spoken of so highly by her teacher.

The Widow paced across the lands. It was mindless. She had lost so much. She was still losing, every second.

 

Would continuing finally grant her something to keep? Or would she only lose more?

[Wizry 1219]

A foolish plan with foolish allies - and yet the tear was brought down. What a circus, the Templar would've thought if he had been there.

 

The Templar trapped in Innovation's nightmare, with the sounds of cannons and machinery going off around him, awaited his re-emergence into the wider world so that he could prove that he would overcome it all.

 

For Kiel was right - he was worthy. And so was Kiel.

 

This worthy fight would be held where both would cast their Magics and clash their steel at the entrance of the Abyss where Malchediael and Iblees would match wits with their two 'blessed', and one would be vanquished in a duel of two.

"It's almost like I warned them they'd only make it worse," Commented Raziel.

 

"Druids are almost entirely useless."

[Yeetboy0206 1574]

Estevot got the missive. And his anger and rage at the one who left a mark that will never heal on his mind increased tenfold. He made sure to copy it, before taking it to go see his comrades. Threaten the continent? NOT ON HIS WATCH!

[!] The Pharaoh looks closely at the missive with a curious gaze. The Pharaoh's countenance twists in displeasure as he scans through the missive, motivating him to crumble it up and toss it into a giant brazier in the temple of Ra. He then sets off for the Hesthor temple, the home Rah'tuma's priesthood of purity.

 

"No Isfetian terrorist will disrupt Ka'tau and poison the lands without receiving their due judgment. This one shall soon face the wrath of the Great River."

Daal having been eating the news letter from the top down when he finished reading a segment smacked his lips together when he was done. Looking up at a warlock @ColonelKuehl1as he burped at him “BRAAAAPPPPPPPPP! That that is the noise sound thing that voidal voidal space rips make make when boom boomy blast boom they go go!”

Fal'leon sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, his detest and contempt ever growing with each missive. "i's like I told them t' jus' seal th' location until we can pu' tha' piece o' horse shi' down fer good. Anyone who blames druii, th' only useful folks there, is a bloody moron. If i' would nae d'stroy th' balance too, I'd tell Lanre t' jus' d'spose o' all th' useless descendan's."
