The faltering form of Eventru, Crown of the Exalted rises up out of New Celest,
turning His feverish gaze northwards, before streaking towards Avechna's Peak.
He is a radiant immortal and and pulses with a soft halo of golden and ivory
light. His shape is large, tanned and muscular, though a sallow, bloodless pall
hangs over Him. The lower part of His figure cloaked in pristine white silk,
flowing draggedly about His thighs and legs, the lowest ends brushing across His
feet and the ground beneath, though they begin to show the stains of travel and
use. Across His thick and muscled waist lies a braided belt of dull white gold,
bound fast around the liquid silk with a careful knot. A thin sash of matching
silk flows diagonally across His pale chest, fastened by a golden clasp bearing
His emblem by His right shoulder, glowing only dully in His diminished light.
His face is sagging and pale, lined by a full beard of dull, corn-yellow curls,
which leads up His face to a tangle of limp yellow hair. Each of His eyes have a
haunted gaze, tawny-streaked violet irises set against a white background,
bordering the dark pupils that glisten with a feverish light. He is wearing a
violet iris streaked with tawny, a shimmering toga of divine silk, a golden
carnation, an ivory pendant bearing His symbol, and a phial of holy water worn
about His neck.
With weak flickers of silver, Lisaera flies toward Avechna's Peak on currents of
ethereal wind.
She is a radiant immortal and is tall, standing at almost seven feet, with a
willowy figure. Her long, raven hair spills down Her back, stirring continuously
in the ethereal breeze surrounding Her and contrasting starkly with Her pale and
wan skin. Her face is smooth and ageless, but with a pained expression lining
Her features. Cool blue eyes gaze unsteadily at Her surroundings, filled with
pain and depth unknown to any mortal. Possessing sweeping cheekbones and sharply
pointed ears, She could almost be mistaken for an elfen were it not for the aura
of power and strange wind that whips around Her, rising and falling in ferocity.
Glitteringly intensely, Her eyes make it clear that She is as changeable and
dangerous as the storm, as knowing as the earth. She is wearing fluidic armour
of swirling ethereal magic, a floor-length traveller's cloak of deepest blue,
and a misted emerald brooch.
Her aura barely visible, Maylea streaks towards the peak after Lisaera and
Eventru.
She is a radiant immortal and seems wan and weak, the aura of power sluggishly
casting the occasional shimmer of dull colour across Her dusky skin. The blue is
gone from Her long, straight hair, which hangs about Her face in disarray. Even
Her expressive eyes are a dull, faint yellow, nearly colourless. She is wearing
a woven sari edged in prismatic embroidery, a trailing rainbow sash, an armband
of twining vines, a sky-hued bluebell, a translucent crystal bindi, and an
anklet hung with crystal chimes.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted inclines His head weakly towards Maylea and
Lisaera, smiling softly.
Muted forks of crimson lightning growl within the clouds as Fain, of the Red
Masque manifests before mortality.
The ailing form of Charune, the Horned One rises to the sky and flies towards
Avechna's Peak, His path trailed by the weak call of the Hunter's Horn.
He is a radiant immortal and is about twenty hands tall. The hide on His lower
stag-body is a deep tan colour and ripples over His taut muscular frame as He
moves. From the thickly muscled front shoulders of His body a massively framed
human upper torso extends. Thick chest muscles heave with His every breath and
His broad shoulders swell with power. A mane of raven black hair tops His head,
flowing down His back while small wisps hang over His brow almost masking the
twinkle of His brilliant cerulean coloured eyes. A large rack of silvered
antlers extend from His head, each antler tapering into twelve deadly points. He
is wearing a leather shoulder scabbard.
Blurred movements of incorporeal shapes coalesce into tendrils of crimson
darkness and pierce the very fabric of reality, heralding Fain, of the Red
Masque.
He is a radiant archlich immortal and His eyes burn with an unflinching hatred
and ruthlessness toward all manner of life. Standing taller than any mortal
being could ever hope to rise, a seething demeanor of malevolent domination only
adds to His monumental stature. Hidden behind a crimson mask, His features are
undeterminable, not a single distinguishing feature escaping from the dark
shroud that engulfs His form. The constant, jarring sensations of fear and pure
suffering are the only reward to all those who manage to fall beneath His gaze.
He is wearing agonizing tarnished greaves, a lengthy black hooded cloak
spattered with wicked red runes, a pair of acid etched gauntlets, a pair of vile
spiked plate boots, a cruel crimson mask covered in black ritualistic markings,
and a ring of coruscating flames.
Your vision blurs and swims as tangible waves of malevolence project from Fain's
ghastly visage.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted pauses slightly as He turns His towards Fain,
before averting His gaze and looks back to the sore.
Coldly, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Greetings Mortals. You have gathered to
worship Me and I am pleased."
Lisaera rolls Her eyes at Fain.
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity smiles softly at Kiaris.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "I hardly think that is the reason, Fain."
The ambient temperature drops perceptibly as Fain's mask twists into a frown.
Gruffly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Arrogant Traitor."
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Very well, ungrateful harlot. Let us turn to
matter at hand."
Charune mutters discontentedly.
His pale lips twisting into a sneer, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "At
least She did not betray Her people. But yes. Matters at hand."
Sohei Shaddus Mes'ard, Cenobite Artisan says, "Something stinks like a wet
tae'dae."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess turns Her gaze to the sore, turning paler as more
strength leaves Her.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to Shaddus, "Then you should bathe more."
Icily, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Perspective is a fine thing, Eventru."
A cold, aching chill settles into the air for a moment, as a long, dark wisp of
energy escapes out of a massive, bubbling sore.
Waving a weak hand dismissively at Fain, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Of
which you have never had any."
Confiding to Maylea, Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "If the mortals could be
quiet it would do much more for Our strength. It is difficult to concentrate."
Lisaera rubs Her temples in frustration.
Waving His hand imperiously, Fain beckons vaguely to something unseen. The area
before you parts strangely, revealing a glimpse of the aetherways before Thoros
is pulled suddenly through and the way closes behind him.
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "It seems the halo has held thus far."
Eventru nods His head at Lisaera.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess reaches out to touch the gleaming crystal, feeling
its power.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Enough essence has been pulled from the
Fulcrux of Lusternia that it might be closed..."
The surrounding shadows tremble, rising weakly as they slowly coalesce into the
gaunt form of Nocht, the Silent.
He is a radiant immortal and alternately imposing and unassuming as He lingers
in the shadows, tendrils of liquid darkness seeming to cling lifelessly to His
form. The stark ebony of His skin has faded to a pallid grey, from the
aristocratic countours of His face to the slender, musician's hands. Long black
hair spills down His back and across His face in a disheveled mess. The only
colour in His stoic countenance, His eyes are a dull, murky blue, each pupil
rimmed in a golden starburst which make His sunken gaze appear to be always
looking off into the distance. He is wearing a cloak woven from pure shadow, a
symbol of the Night, and divine garments of black silk.
Eventru smiles softly at Nocht.
Coldly, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "In this I will act in in concert with
you. Our aims are, for a time, conjoined."
Bitterly, Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Let us hope so."
Weakly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Yes, they are."
The shadows have lengthened. It is late afternoon in Lusternia.
The phase of the moon is that of the Waxing Crescent.
In your world, it is 2009/01/11 23:45:33 GMT.
See HELP GMT for an explanation of GMT.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Fain, can you think of why the Fulcrux has
been so... Pressed? It has filled with so much spiritual energy, yet it never
had before in Our time. We are not familiar with its nature - you worked closely
with the Fifth. Can you surmise?"
Eventru sighs deeply, as if He has suffered a great loss.
nowflakes float past you now in a cascade of white.
Twisting hideously, Fain's mask contorts into the semblance of a smile.
Contemptuously, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "It is simple, Eventru. Your
shards have distorted the fulcrux with their pathetic offerings."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "And what of your Tainted shards?"
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "By your unquenchable greed, we have nearly been
undone."
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Mine have done as was fit."
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "The fulcrux was never intended for the passage of
these energies."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Which is the same as all of ours have done.
What do the offerings have to do with this?"
Lisaera points accusingly at a massive, bubbling sore.
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Nodding slowly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The Fulcrux was full. Like
a bottle that can hold no more water, it has ruptured.."
Lisaera creases Her brow in a frown.
Gesturing across the sore, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "And this was the
result."
Softly, Sohei Shaddus Mes'ard, Cenobite Artisan says, "Perhaps a conduit should
be made, to release the pressure?"
Softly, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "A great waste."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "But not all of us have receive equal
offering."
With the smallest flick of His finger, Fain sends Shaddus flying headlong into
the depths of the Astral Plane.
A slim, dun mare with a coal black tail trots off to the ether.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "But all have been equally affected."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Our fulcruxes. When each of Us re-entered
the First World, We made them - and there We left Our imprint."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Yes..."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Perhaps.. The essence could well be forced
back through the fulcrux. We all hold a close bond to them..."
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Spreading his arms wide, Raeri spins clockwise and a shimmering white orb
springs up around him.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "And Our imprint has been used to create
these... Creatures with Our image."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Like those small creations Crumkane once
made, those... Gingerbread men. They all look identical, cut from the same
mold..."
The crimson miasma of souls about Fain's shrouded figure churns with sudden
vehemence.
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Very well. Begin and I will follow."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "I saw My Brother, whom I have not seen in
ages. Surely he has not received much offering in many years."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "It is an opening in the fulcrux... All with
one was affected."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Let Us hope that Auseklis and Lyreth,
wherever They are, are wel..."
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "What then?"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess turns Her gaze back to the sore.
Fain's mask contorts in irritation and He drums His gauntletted fingers
impatiently against the side of His breastplate.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "But yes. Let Us focus on closing the
rupture. We can speculate at a later time - though this construct We have
erected must stay. We can sink it into the Fulcrux, use it to continue to
alleviate pressure."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Though the essence will be raw and freed -
perhaps some use of it can be made."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "But first, the sore."
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Lisaera whispers something quietly to Eventru.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Do you think it will work thus, Eventru?"
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
After a long pause, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Perhaps. Let Us try."
Flashes of light chase through every colour of the spectrum before flaring a
brilliant white or a dark eerie black, swirling upwards in erratic and wild
patterns as they burst upwards from the depths of this strange manifestation.
The lining of the sore is variously fleshy, metallic, or harshly angular like
massive gemstones, occasionally rippling with a swirl of multicoloured mist and
changing its composition entirely. At least fifteen feet wide and as many feet
long, this massive sore has succeeded in blocking off the pathway here,
rendering passage nigh impossible. The depths of the sore cannot be fathomed,
for they reach well beyond what mortal eyes could detect, and they are obscured
by strange swirling manifestations, as though raw energy itself boiled far
below, waiting for use, reaching upwards in plea for shape or form. About the
rim of the sore a halo of shimmering metal that gleams with a rainbow of hues
has been erected. The halo is supported by clear crystalline rods that run deep
into the stone about the sore, their tops passing the rim and shifting to an
inward slant before stopping halfway to the centre of the construct.
It weighs about 4095 pounds.
A massive, bubbling sore is holding:
Nothing.
Lisaera nods solemnly.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted nods slightly to Lisaera, before turning to the
bubbling sore.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess sadly says, "Little ones, little shields like yours
would hardly prevent hurt if all should go wrong..."
Closing His eyes, Charune, the Horned One extends an arm and a faltering glow of
emerald light extends to the sore.
Clasping Her hands quietly together, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity channels Her
energy into the sore, manifested into an aura of soft green.
With a deft flick of His wrists, Fain conjures spheres of burning essence in His
hands, then casts them downwards into the sore.
Raising His hand and exhaling softly, Nocht, the Silent directs shadowy tendrils
of essence into the sore.
Kneeling once more, Lisaera clasps Her hands together, strands of silver ribbons
hovering toward the sore brightly.
Raising His hands once more, Fain again draws burning power into being and casts
it down, though this He shudders with the effort.
Slowly the energies of the various gods begin to meld together, entwining to
create a cool light that pulls on the edges of the sore, which shudders, the
essence inside withdrawing, sinking downwards. After a moment the mountain about
you begins to quiver expectantly as the edges of the sore slowly pull together,
causing it to disappear entirely.
Slowly the halo of metal and crystal sinks into the earth and, with a shimmer of
rainbowed light, disappears.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted turns and nods to Lisaera, smiling weakly.
From behind His mask, Fain's eyes burn with a malignant humour.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Let Us try, Lisaera."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Yes, let Us go."
Charune, the Horned One says, "Let Us see."
of moonlight comes down from the sky and bathes Ried in light.
Grasping at the latent energies still hanging in the air, Eventru, Crown of the
Exalted is whisked skyward.
The radiant form of the Exalted Lord is whisked into the sky from Avechna's
Peak, disappearing quickly into the aether.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Any that follows Me may die... be warned."
Fain, of the Red Masque pats the ground with His foot and the aura about Him
churns violently.
Whispering to Lisaera, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "Take care."
Taking hold of latent energies in the air, Charune propels Himself towards the
sky.
Lifts up clouds of silver essence in Her hands and gazes toward the sky,
floating upwards rapidly on a sudden violent wind.
In a trail of silver motes, Lisaera rises from Avechna's Peak and disappears in
a luminescent splash.
A shower of silver light swirls around the form of Lisaera before She disappears
with a flash.
An emerald streak marks Charune, the Horned One's ascent from Avechna's Peak,
disappearing to the aether.
The aether ripples as the rapturous voice of Eventru, Crown of the Exalted
booms, "Lisaera! It is possible! Hurry!"
Raising Her arms, Maylea catches hold of something barely visible in the air,
and suddenly explodes skyward.
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Ah."
With a commanding gesture, sparkling webs of glittering essence form and take
shape within the air. A burst of heatless flame explodes about you and Fain is
gone.
Like a comet, the blazing form of Fain shoots skyward through the clouds.
Streaks of colour trailing behind Her, Maylea flies through the sky away from
Avechna's Peak.
The ghost of a smile passes fleetingly across Nocht's lips.
Sohei Shaddus Mes'ard, Cenobite Artisan smiles impishly and says, "The best for
last, I suppose."
Shuyin points accusingly at Nocht.
Shuyin scratches his head in confusion.
Holding out His hand, Nocht, the Silent grasps on to something unseen, and
suddenly dissolves into wisps of shadow that race skywards.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "No! No!"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "They have closed off the source!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "We must find another source!! More power to
us!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "We shall rule yet!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "We must hurry! With enough power, We can
still slay the gods!"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "Where shall we find it?"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "We could attack the cities, destroy their
nexuses!"
Thundering through your skull like a thousand stampeding buffalo, the deep, bass
voice of Hierophant Gregori Mes'ard, the Lady's Wrath booms, "I understand you
can find a new source in the Void! Hurry go there and see!"
Fain, of the Red Masque shouts, "Magnagora's nexus is full and unprotected. To
Magnagora."
Morgfyre, the Legion shouts, "Nexuses are worthless, We must seek a limitless
source!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "Where is such a source?"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "Tell us where and we shall claim it!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "Limitless? But the Source has been
closed!"
Charune, the Horned One shouts, "What source? Where!"
Sir Inagin La'Saet, Disciple of the Dawn shouts, "The supra plane, go go go."
Fain, of the Red Masque shouts, "Yes. The mortal has it."
Morgfyre, the Legion shouts, "A mortal, Nariah, has mentioned! Find... the
Astral Plane!"
Raezon, the Forbidden shouts, "Let us take it, then!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "Supra Plane?"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "Is this what you spoke of, Morgfyre?"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "We shall claim the power for our own!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "To the Astral Plane! CLAIM THE ESSENCE!
ALL OF IT!"
Fain, of the Red Masque shouts, "We will go there. To the outer plane!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "Foolish mortals. We shall rise forever!

Estarra's voice shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "Aiiieee!"
Estarra's voice shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "The Elder Gods and their
fulcruxes have been cured from the poisons of so much essence driven into them
from mortal offerings! Even now the space between the aethers is being
transformed as the gods create realms to release these energies so such disaster
will never again."
Estarra's voice shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "But this comes too late to
undo the damage that has already done! The strain on Avechna's Peak has weakened
the Nine Great Seals! We are threatened again with disaster! And so, we turn yet
again to the mortal races!"
Estarra's voice shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "In the coming months those
mortals who think they are worthy enough to control one of the Nine Seals must
meet and do challenge! Then, of the nine chosen, one shall rise to ascend truly
and thus charge the Great Seals for yet another generation!"
Estarra's voice shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "Spread the word far and wide!
An Ascension has begun!"
turning His feverish gaze northwards, before streaking towards Avechna's Peak.
He is a radiant immortal and and pulses with a soft halo of golden and ivory
light. His shape is large, tanned and muscular, though a sallow, bloodless pall
hangs over Him. The lower part of His figure cloaked in pristine white silk,
flowing draggedly about His thighs and legs, the lowest ends brushing across His
feet and the ground beneath, though they begin to show the stains of travel and
use. Across His thick and muscled waist lies a braided belt of dull white gold,
bound fast around the liquid silk with a careful knot. A thin sash of matching
silk flows diagonally across His pale chest, fastened by a golden clasp bearing
His emblem by His right shoulder, glowing only dully in His diminished light.
His face is sagging and pale, lined by a full beard of dull, corn-yellow curls,
which leads up His face to a tangle of limp yellow hair. Each of His eyes have a
haunted gaze, tawny-streaked violet irises set against a white background,
bordering the dark pupils that glisten with a feverish light. He is wearing a
violet iris streaked with tawny, a shimmering toga of divine silk, a golden
carnation, an ivory pendant bearing His symbol, and a phial of holy water worn
about His neck.
With weak flickers of silver, Lisaera flies toward Avechna's Peak on currents of
ethereal wind.
She is a radiant immortal and is tall, standing at almost seven feet, with a
willowy figure. Her long, raven hair spills down Her back, stirring continuously
in the ethereal breeze surrounding Her and contrasting starkly with Her pale and
wan skin. Her face is smooth and ageless, but with a pained expression lining
Her features. Cool blue eyes gaze unsteadily at Her surroundings, filled with
pain and depth unknown to any mortal. Possessing sweeping cheekbones and sharply
pointed ears, She could almost be mistaken for an elfen were it not for the aura
of power and strange wind that whips around Her, rising and falling in ferocity.
Glitteringly intensely, Her eyes make it clear that She is as changeable and
dangerous as the storm, as knowing as the earth. She is wearing fluidic armour
of swirling ethereal magic, a floor-length traveller's cloak of deepest blue,
and a misted emerald brooch.
Her aura barely visible, Maylea streaks towards the peak after Lisaera and
Eventru.
She is a radiant immortal and seems wan and weak, the aura of power sluggishly
casting the occasional shimmer of dull colour across Her dusky skin. The blue is
gone from Her long, straight hair, which hangs about Her face in disarray. Even
Her expressive eyes are a dull, faint yellow, nearly colourless. She is wearing
a woven sari edged in prismatic embroidery, a trailing rainbow sash, an armband
of twining vines, a sky-hued bluebell, a translucent crystal bindi, and an
anklet hung with crystal chimes.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted inclines His head weakly towards Maylea and
Lisaera, smiling softly.
Muted forks of crimson lightning growl within the clouds as Fain, of the Red
Masque manifests before mortality.
The ailing form of Charune, the Horned One rises to the sky and flies towards
Avechna's Peak, His path trailed by the weak call of the Hunter's Horn.
He is a radiant immortal and is about twenty hands tall. The hide on His lower
stag-body is a deep tan colour and ripples over His taut muscular frame as He
moves. From the thickly muscled front shoulders of His body a massively framed
human upper torso extends. Thick chest muscles heave with His every breath and
His broad shoulders swell with power. A mane of raven black hair tops His head,
flowing down His back while small wisps hang over His brow almost masking the
twinkle of His brilliant cerulean coloured eyes. A large rack of silvered
antlers extend from His head, each antler tapering into twelve deadly points. He
is wearing a leather shoulder scabbard.
Blurred movements of incorporeal shapes coalesce into tendrils of crimson
darkness and pierce the very fabric of reality, heralding Fain, of the Red
Masque.
He is a radiant archlich immortal and His eyes burn with an unflinching hatred
and ruthlessness toward all manner of life. Standing taller than any mortal
being could ever hope to rise, a seething demeanor of malevolent domination only
adds to His monumental stature. Hidden behind a crimson mask, His features are
undeterminable, not a single distinguishing feature escaping from the dark
shroud that engulfs His form. The constant, jarring sensations of fear and pure
suffering are the only reward to all those who manage to fall beneath His gaze.
He is wearing agonizing tarnished greaves, a lengthy black hooded cloak
spattered with wicked red runes, a pair of acid etched gauntlets, a pair of vile
spiked plate boots, a cruel crimson mask covered in black ritualistic markings,
and a ring of coruscating flames.
Your vision blurs and swims as tangible waves of malevolence project from Fain's
ghastly visage.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted pauses slightly as He turns His towards Fain,
before averting His gaze and looks back to the sore.
Coldly, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Greetings Mortals. You have gathered to
worship Me and I am pleased."
Lisaera rolls Her eyes at Fain.
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity smiles softly at Kiaris.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "I hardly think that is the reason, Fain."
The ambient temperature drops perceptibly as Fain's mask twists into a frown.
Gruffly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Arrogant Traitor."
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Very well, ungrateful harlot. Let us turn to
matter at hand."
Charune mutters discontentedly.
His pale lips twisting into a sneer, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "At
least She did not betray Her people. But yes. Matters at hand."
Sohei Shaddus Mes'ard, Cenobite Artisan says, "Something stinks like a wet
tae'dae."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess turns Her gaze to the sore, turning paler as more
strength leaves Her.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to Shaddus, "Then you should bathe more."
Icily, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Perspective is a fine thing, Eventru."
A cold, aching chill settles into the air for a moment, as a long, dark wisp of
energy escapes out of a massive, bubbling sore.
Waving a weak hand dismissively at Fain, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Of
which you have never had any."
Confiding to Maylea, Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "If the mortals could be
quiet it would do much more for Our strength. It is difficult to concentrate."
Lisaera rubs Her temples in frustration.
Waving His hand imperiously, Fain beckons vaguely to something unseen. The area
before you parts strangely, revealing a glimpse of the aetherways before Thoros
is pulled suddenly through and the way closes behind him.
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "It seems the halo has held thus far."
Eventru nods His head at Lisaera.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess reaches out to touch the gleaming crystal, feeling
its power.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Enough essence has been pulled from the
Fulcrux of Lusternia that it might be closed..."
The surrounding shadows tremble, rising weakly as they slowly coalesce into the
gaunt form of Nocht, the Silent.
He is a radiant immortal and alternately imposing and unassuming as He lingers
in the shadows, tendrils of liquid darkness seeming to cling lifelessly to His
form. The stark ebony of His skin has faded to a pallid grey, from the
aristocratic countours of His face to the slender, musician's hands. Long black
hair spills down His back and across His face in a disheveled mess. The only
colour in His stoic countenance, His eyes are a dull, murky blue, each pupil
rimmed in a golden starburst which make His sunken gaze appear to be always
looking off into the distance. He is wearing a cloak woven from pure shadow, a
symbol of the Night, and divine garments of black silk.
Eventru smiles softly at Nocht.
Coldly, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "In this I will act in in concert with
you. Our aims are, for a time, conjoined."
Bitterly, Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Let us hope so."
Weakly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Yes, they are."
The shadows have lengthened. It is late afternoon in Lusternia.
The phase of the moon is that of the Waxing Crescent.
In your world, it is 2009/01/11 23:45:33 GMT.
See HELP GMT for an explanation of GMT.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Fain, can you think of why the Fulcrux has
been so... Pressed? It has filled with so much spiritual energy, yet it never
had before in Our time. We are not familiar with its nature - you worked closely
with the Fifth. Can you surmise?"
Eventru sighs deeply, as if He has suffered a great loss.
nowflakes float past you now in a cascade of white.
Twisting hideously, Fain's mask contorts into the semblance of a smile.
Contemptuously, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "It is simple, Eventru. Your
shards have distorted the fulcrux with their pathetic offerings."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "And what of your Tainted shards?"
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "By your unquenchable greed, we have nearly been
undone."
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Mine have done as was fit."
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "The fulcrux was never intended for the passage of
these energies."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Which is the same as all of ours have done.
What do the offerings have to do with this?"
Lisaera points accusingly at a massive, bubbling sore.
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Nodding slowly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The Fulcrux was full. Like
a bottle that can hold no more water, it has ruptured.."
Lisaera creases Her brow in a frown.
Gesturing across the sore, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "And this was the
result."
Softly, Sohei Shaddus Mes'ard, Cenobite Artisan says, "Perhaps a conduit should
be made, to release the pressure?"
Softly, Fain, of the Red Masque says, "A great waste."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "But not all of us have receive equal
offering."
With the smallest flick of His finger, Fain sends Shaddus flying headlong into
the depths of the Astral Plane.
A slim, dun mare with a coal black tail trots off to the ether.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "But all have been equally affected."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Our fulcruxes. When each of Us re-entered
the First World, We made them - and there We left Our imprint."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Yes..."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Perhaps.. The essence could well be forced
back through the fulcrux. We all hold a close bond to them..."
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Spreading his arms wide, Raeri spins clockwise and a shimmering white orb
springs up around him.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "And Our imprint has been used to create
these... Creatures with Our image."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Like those small creations Crumkane once
made, those... Gingerbread men. They all look identical, cut from the same
mold..."
The crimson miasma of souls about Fain's shrouded figure churns with sudden
vehemence.
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Very well. Begin and I will follow."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "I saw My Brother, whom I have not seen in
ages. Surely he has not received much offering in many years."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "It is an opening in the fulcrux... All with
one was affected."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Let Us hope that Auseklis and Lyreth,
wherever They are, are wel..."
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "What then?"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess turns Her gaze back to the sore.
Fain's mask contorts in irritation and He drums His gauntletted fingers
impatiently against the side of His breastplate.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "But yes. Let Us focus on closing the
rupture. We can speculate at a later time - though this construct We have
erected must stay. We can sink it into the Fulcrux, use it to continue to
alleviate pressure."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Though the essence will be raw and freed -
perhaps some use of it can be made."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "But first, the sore."
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
Lisaera whispers something quietly to Eventru.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Do you think it will work thus, Eventru?"
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
After a long pause, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Perhaps. Let Us try."
Flashes of light chase through every colour of the spectrum before flaring a
brilliant white or a dark eerie black, swirling upwards in erratic and wild
patterns as they burst upwards from the depths of this strange manifestation.
The lining of the sore is variously fleshy, metallic, or harshly angular like
massive gemstones, occasionally rippling with a swirl of multicoloured mist and
changing its composition entirely. At least fifteen feet wide and as many feet
long, this massive sore has succeeded in blocking off the pathway here,
rendering passage nigh impossible. The depths of the sore cannot be fathomed,
for they reach well beyond what mortal eyes could detect, and they are obscured
by strange swirling manifestations, as though raw energy itself boiled far
below, waiting for use, reaching upwards in plea for shape or form. About the
rim of the sore a halo of shimmering metal that gleams with a rainbow of hues
has been erected. The halo is supported by clear crystalline rods that run deep
into the stone about the sore, their tops passing the rim and shifting to an
inward slant before stopping halfway to the centre of the construct.
It weighs about 4095 pounds.
A massive, bubbling sore is holding:
Nothing.
Lisaera nods solemnly.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted nods slightly to Lisaera, before turning to the
bubbling sore.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess sadly says, "Little ones, little shields like yours
would hardly prevent hurt if all should go wrong..."
Closing His eyes, Charune, the Horned One extends an arm and a faltering glow of
emerald light extends to the sore.
Clasping Her hands quietly together, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity channels Her
energy into the sore, manifested into an aura of soft green.
With a deft flick of His wrists, Fain conjures spheres of burning essence in His
hands, then casts them downwards into the sore.
Raising His hand and exhaling softly, Nocht, the Silent directs shadowy tendrils
of essence into the sore.
Kneeling once more, Lisaera clasps Her hands together, strands of silver ribbons
hovering toward the sore brightly.
Raising His hands once more, Fain again draws burning power into being and casts
it down, though this He shudders with the effort.
Slowly the energies of the various gods begin to meld together, entwining to
create a cool light that pulls on the edges of the sore, which shudders, the
essence inside withdrawing, sinking downwards. After a moment the mountain about
you begins to quiver expectantly as the edges of the sore slowly pull together,
causing it to disappear entirely.
Slowly the halo of metal and crystal sinks into the earth and, with a shimmer of
rainbowed light, disappears.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted turns and nods to Lisaera, smiling weakly.
From behind His mask, Fain's eyes burn with a malignant humour.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Let Us try, Lisaera."
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Yes, let Us go."
Charune, the Horned One says, "Let Us see."
of moonlight comes down from the sky and bathes Ried in light.
Grasping at the latent energies still hanging in the air, Eventru, Crown of the
Exalted is whisked skyward.
The radiant form of the Exalted Lord is whisked into the sky from Avechna's
Peak, disappearing quickly into the aether.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Any that follows Me may die... be warned."
Fain, of the Red Masque pats the ground with His foot and the aura about Him
churns violently.
Whispering to Lisaera, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "Take care."
Taking hold of latent energies in the air, Charune propels Himself towards the
sky.
Lifts up clouds of silver essence in Her hands and gazes toward the sky,
floating upwards rapidly on a sudden violent wind.
In a trail of silver motes, Lisaera rises from Avechna's Peak and disappears in
a luminescent splash.
A shower of silver light swirls around the form of Lisaera before She disappears
with a flash.
An emerald streak marks Charune, the Horned One's ascent from Avechna's Peak,
disappearing to the aether.
The aether ripples as the rapturous voice of Eventru, Crown of the Exalted
booms, "Lisaera! It is possible! Hurry!"
Raising Her arms, Maylea catches hold of something barely visible in the air,
and suddenly explodes skyward.
Fain, of the Red Masque says, "Ah."
With a commanding gesture, sparkling webs of glittering essence form and take
shape within the air. A burst of heatless flame explodes about you and Fain is
gone.
Like a comet, the blazing form of Fain shoots skyward through the clouds.
Streaks of colour trailing behind Her, Maylea flies through the sky away from
Avechna's Peak.
The ghost of a smile passes fleetingly across Nocht's lips.
Sohei Shaddus Mes'ard, Cenobite Artisan smiles impishly and says, "The best for
last, I suppose."
Shuyin points accusingly at Nocht.
Shuyin scratches his head in confusion.
Holding out His hand, Nocht, the Silent grasps on to something unseen, and
suddenly dissolves into wisps of shadow that race skywards.
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "No! No!"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "They have closed off the source!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "We must find another source!! More power to
us!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "We shall rule yet!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "We must hurry! With enough power, We can
still slay the gods!"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "Where shall we find it?"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "We could attack the cities, destroy their
nexuses!"
Thundering through your skull like a thousand stampeding buffalo, the deep, bass
voice of Hierophant Gregori Mes'ard, the Lady's Wrath booms, "I understand you
can find a new source in the Void! Hurry go there and see!"
Fain, of the Red Masque shouts, "Magnagora's nexus is full and unprotected. To
Magnagora."
Morgfyre, the Legion shouts, "Nexuses are worthless, We must seek a limitless
source!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "Where is such a source?"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "Tell us where and we shall claim it!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "Limitless? But the Source has been
closed!"
Charune, the Horned One shouts, "What source? Where!"
Sir Inagin La'Saet, Disciple of the Dawn shouts, "The supra plane, go go go."
Fain, of the Red Masque shouts, "Yes. The mortal has it."
Morgfyre, the Legion shouts, "A mortal, Nariah, has mentioned! Find... the
Astral Plane!"
Raezon, the Forbidden shouts, "Let us take it, then!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "Supra Plane?"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "Is this what you spoke of, Morgfyre?"
Maylea, Bloom of Serenity shouts, "We shall claim the power for our own!"
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shouts, "To the Astral Plane! CLAIM THE ESSENCE!
ALL OF IT!"
Fain, of the Red Masque shouts, "We will go there. To the outer plane!"
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess shouts, "Foolish mortals. We shall rise forever!
Hahahahahahaha!"
Vathael has been beaten to a pulp by Fain, of the Red Masque.
You see the death occur at a pan of iron filings.
Shaddus has been crushed to death by Fain, of the Red Masque.
