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 lands on his side, hissing in pain as he tries to right himself. It’s hard when he’s covered in a strange liquid, making the surface underneath him more slippery than is really helpful. Ugh. It feels gross.

The debuff catches his eye and… hm. This isn’t good. He looks around at the other pods for any kind of opening, anyway to get the others out before his gaze settles on Fandaniel. He won’t move to release anyone yet in favor of seeing what happens. Maybe they’ll get out on their own. ]


Well… I’ve always been stubborn, haven’t I? I’d rather face the truth instead of living in an idealized place like that anyway. [ He smiles a little. ] It’s too bad I made that decision a couple of weeks ago. It makes your job harder, doesn’t it?

[ Before, he probably would have been happier in a world like that. But the hardships mean something to him, so he’ll fight for them. ]
