The realm is bombard with a savage and brutal winter unlike anything that has been seen in centuries, if ever. Deserts, The Empire, and places that would not expect to see snow and ice are experiencing it. The desert east of Shadow has become a wasteland of sand, snow, and ice that is creating puddles and throwing the ecosystem off as lakes and rivers begin to form.

The Empire has sent convoys north to discuss how to handle such harsh times and understand what to do as their crops and people are dying from the lack of preparedness. A silver lining in all of this is that Sindh has used this time to slowly begin to change Phaederia from the military dictatorship that it has always been by sending emissaries and attempting to build relationships that could forever change that region with the downfall of Bane and the area experiencing harsher colds due to its coastal geography.

The north is one giant blanket of ice and snow with rumors circulating that the Lady in White has retaken her spot and broken away from Lord Shadow, revealing herself to be "Auril", however many are still unsure if this is true as no one has seen her except for a small tribe in the northern most peaks of Mt. Krakus.

OOCLY: IF you are an Air Genasi you're experiencing the following things! Please RP them, however if you're not a Air Genasi you're not aware of these unless told ICLY.

1. You feel tired and sluggish.
2. You feel as if air is heavier and thicker than normal.
3. The air can almost be seen and is clingy, humid and overbearing.
4. You feel hopeless, lost your spirit almost as if you're lacking your free will.
5. Your blood seems to long for air. OOCLY this means you wanna be outside.

I'll be around in the evening on Wednesday and Thursday some. Friday I'll be on most of the day, but erratically so just send me a thought. I hope to progress this in chunks over the next few weeks.

However, Nuwisha/Eris are playing D&D this weekend so this plot will be taking center stage. Please mail me or avatarmail anything your character will be doing. There are no restrictions on PK or level, however, I highly recommend checking the web forum and General News when you log in as I'll be updating them as stuff progresses.

This is the news that you'll see when logging into your characters on the mud. I'll keep this updated during the plot and try to update this posting as well.


OOCLY the world is in the middle of a deep winter. It is a huge issue
trying to code this across the game, so please RP appropriately based on
the RP information below.

The realm is having the worst winter in recent history. Crops are dying in
the strangest of place ranging from The Empire to Shadow. Deserts are
seeing snow for the first time and rumors swirl that Auril now walks the
realms.

The sun and moon have been eclipsed by the falling snow and what appears to
be a mixture of ash. Rumors suggest that a volcano blew and not just any
volcano, but one with the spirit of a dead god. This has lead sages,
wisemen to theorize that an Ice Age is upon the realm and that life as we
know it will forever be changed!RSET

OOCLY PART 2Tonerra is fine to explore and stuff still. However, please RP
that there are streams of lava, that the emerald dragon's home isn't as
deep, yet it still resides there. Chunks of the mountain are gone and the
volcano has lava pouring down its side. Oddly the monastery seems to avoid
the streams of laval entirely.

The ending of this plot will happen this weekend.

I need for players to mail me with times that they can participate on Saturday or Sunday. It is to ensure I have everything done and etc..

I'd prefer to do it during the day or early night. Nothing too late would be great, but I am flexible as always. Hoping it'll only take a couple hours, but depending on how the players work through somethings could take longer.

I'll post the time and who can make it once I have some times coordinated with players and such.

The sky above Shadow is a beautiful glowing red with what appears to be
flames licking at the very air. The temperature from the hole to Dragon's
Caverns to Yntala Forest have returned to normal. The area is dealing with
some sickness from the quick change in temperature, however, Jarmila's
temple has dispatched Hands of the Lady.

Rumors swirl that near Darkwood forest a portal to the plane of Flame has
been torn asunder and that Prince Allia'shab plans to return with his
forces to burn the world unless the "Lady in White" is found.

Guys,

I'll be finishing this plot on Sunday. I'll be around from 1PM till about 7PM central standard time. If you want to see a Deity ascend in real time, I'd suggest you be there. I hate to toss the ending out, but it is known what I'm doing and I wanted to give players a chance to participate in this type of event who never have.

Heads up, I'm pretty busy for the next few weeks, so if no one shows up I'll go ahead and install the deity so that people are able to use him in case I can't make it back consistently for a bit, holidays and all have a lot going on.

This plot has come to an end. Sorry for those who tried to make it, but RL interfered, I couldn't wait much longer as things hit me too!

The plot won't be finished and though I am not a fan of flaking on plots, I'm pretty burnt currently getting the deities up to snuff. Here is a quick synopsis of how to RP it going forward.

Rumors swirl of a massive battle that transpired outside of Torm near Istisha's temple. Beings of each elemental showed up A "Lady in White", whom everyone assumes is Auril and her ancient white dragon, A Prince Efreeti and a red dragon, druids of earth, monstrous sea creatures attack, battered the island as a giant storm composed of earthquakes, lightning, snow and flame struck at the ancient temple of that once housed Istishia.

The City of Torm called in all guards, boarded the gates and began to plan for how to aid this catastrophe. As the city watched from afar it seemed like no side would win, causalities were high, elemental's, genasi, and all manner of elemental creatures began to die as their leaders fought for control of something, what no one is sure, however they were desperate to get inside this temple.

A wave of energy flowed from the temple and people speak of how the land and water began to move.. The temple itself move further from Torm that it previous had, mountains rose from the water, flames began to burn down Istishia's, wind began to chip away at the island.. The amount of elemental energy could be felt for miles as the power of those fighting for whatever was inside continued their assault as the temple and island began to transform.

People speak in awe of what happened next. They say that the beings all stopped at once as a voice articulate in a collected manner: Feel the freedom of the natural world. Run free like the wind, obey your own moral code as devoutly as the stone. Care little for taming the elements, but do not exploit elements in a way that would harm or alter their natural state. Help others see that the storms are not to be bound and tamed, but to be unleashed, shared and respected. Let those who would manipulate and abuse them feel the fiery or icy touchy of true elemental power. Fear not natural, elemental destruction as it is the basis for growth and life.

As the words were spoken all of the power seem to disparate from the area as if the elements has found their home.. There fate settled for now. Others swear that the voice came to them in a booming tone as the world shook, while others believe it was fiery and explosive, some believe it whispered on the lips of the wind.. Those most wise men know that it happened in unison and was all of these for on that day.. Ryorik - Elemental Reaver and The Tracker of Storm became The Tempest and Lord of the Elemental Planes.
