Σ Turbulent Distrusting Ice Wall

Who: Fidchell the Prophet and two fateful parties.
What: A prophecy foretold.
When: 11/21, Night
Where: The city formerly known as Lumina Cloth.
Warnings: Mentions of suicidal ideation, violence.



[ Something appears to be afoot in the night-shrouded city of lights, Lumina Cloth. Ever since the fall of Innis and Magus, it has begun to grow colder, and colder, and colder. NPCs begin to glitch in and out of existence as the days crawl along until one day, they are no more, and it begins to snow.

Throughout this entire ordeal, a strange yet familiar figure dressed gaudily in blue and feathery robes can be witnessed watching from a distance.

Everything ices over, the lights flickering out one by one, plunging the entire city into darkness... until... until?

Only after the city has been buried in snow and covered in ice do the lights all snap back on and those who enter the Root Town will discover a horrific sight: Telophoroi Tower has risen high over the frozen landscape at the center of the city, overtaking the rest of the buildings. It is far larger and much more dangerous-looking than before, with more metal, more spikes, and an ominous mist clinging to it from all angles.

There is only one person who could possibly be waiting here.

Approaching the tower will plunge the players into the mist.

Nearly all will find themselves turned around but a few, those lucky few, will find themselves entering the dark, empty halls of the guild @ home once known as Telophoroi. Steps echo, emptiness reigns, no sign of even Cultist Grunty anymore. Those stairs are new, though, and they wind up and up and up towards the very tip-top of the tower.

Do you dare to climb them...?

[ He does mind, thanks!! But Fai keeps that to himself in favor of simply frowning at Fandaniel. ]

So, how will this end? Enlighten me.

[ From his tone, it’s obvious that whatever it is, Fai has already decided not to accept it. ]

Maybe Fidchell will die, but…

[ He shakes his head, mouth still set in a frown. ]

I’ll do my best to see that Fandaniel lives.

[ There won’t be any unnecessary risks on his part—he’s decided to be careful from here on out, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less determined to get the conclusion that he desires. ]

[ He closes his eyes, letting out a long, long breath. Whatever happens, Fai knows that everyone that's managed to make it far enough to confront Fandaniel head on will refuse to let his outcome come to fruition.

It's why Fai can remain calm, and why he's able to respond with only one word, calm and measured: ]


Let's.
