Opening Game Announcements


A Word From Your Mod Team

    Well, surprise to us! We didn't expect to turn over 25 applications in 25 hours, yet here we are! To our new characters, welcome back! To our returning characters, why the heck is Valhudor so overrepresented among you


When Does It Open?

    NOW.

    We'll have an actual event log in the beginning of August proper, but if you want to start making open posts or getting into trouble, go for it!


Is The TDM Canon?

    Absolutely, if you want it to be.


This Month In Diatu

  • Hail becomes a concern around this time, thanks to some peculiarity of air currents and ocean evaporation up here on the floating island. Luckily, hailstorms are brief when they appear, but inevitably sudden and fierce for their short lives. Woe be unto the student who fails to protect themselves with a suitable shield when they spend any time out of doors!
  • Professor Ire has been the victim of mean-spirited but harmless pranks that truly represent just how harmless he is, considering the capabilities he surely has to address such pranking. In fact, the student body seems to be very slowly coalescing into pro-Ire and anti-Ire factions.
  • Bala-inlota Tryouts begin once classes are in swing. You may or may not be entered into them voluntarily; Captain Lominia is not exactly known for respecting consent when it comes to her student teams. Older students might trade or sell you the location of good places to hide from her.

    This Month In Anastara

  • A Sphinx In Training has set up shop down by the docks, laying out on a large comfortable rug and challenging passers-by to riddle contests. None of the riddles are terribly original; the Sphinx explains she is more interested in studying the body language of her victims than in defeating them. She also promises she won't eat you if you get the riddles wrong, and thus far, no one has appeared to claim she has eaten them. On the other hand, she occasionally veers out of the acceptable sorts of riddles to launch scavenger hunts and quirky challenges, in order to see just what people will do under the guise of a riddle contest.

    Adventures

      As detailed on our Adventures page, you may sign up for an adventure by responding to the appropriate comment on this post. We will respond with your adventure setups as time and creative energy allow.


    We can't wait to see you all subject yourselves to our whims WE MEAN start playing in our completely harmless and not-character-scarring game. Enjoy your RP!

    That sounds like a big job. But El would be worried about faith drying up and well, he literally received a sign from Raida herself so time for drastic, widespread measures.

    How would the priests feel about Eleven organizing a festival through the first ring/temple district? Cajole Raida's priests with the potential of losing tithe if he has to really work to sell the idea. And as a passionate disciple of Forging, could even approach Oberison's priests with the idea of further promoting the art.

    Dive into some research for Anastara's favorite tales about the Gods, maybe approach his swath of Valhudor friends about maybe helping perform something something regarding said tales. Talk to.. Professor Mala about enlisting the aid of Eiather students in advertising said festival, if he can get it off the ground.

    Maybe even show off Glorious just a bit as a keystone presentation and maybe be willing to give a speech about his experience as a Sundered with Raida with some reference to Yggdrasil for context.

    lmao this sure is a lot to take on, but it's a big job to convince a whole populace, so we ain't doing shit by halves! Eleven unwittingly stepping into his role as the Luminary even here lmf
