I think the biggest disappointment is that the event seemed to have almost nothing to do with people supporting who they thought would make a good RP God, and everything to do with the military force of each nation taking down all others.

It's a win for Celest moreso than Soll, and while he deserves congratulations for the honour and success, I hope the admin can learn from this and never let the same sort of thing happen again.

A big shame really, but well done to all competitors, including Soll. He's a good guy, maybe he can rise to the challenge.
To Celest's players: Screw you for not caring about the well-being of the game. I hope your city is the most affected by future bad RP events and decisions. It will be a satisfying change.

Ok ok, you're not that bad.

What are you on Avaer? You say someone will be bad without even giving them a chance. Personally I believe that if Soll can stick with it and not get bored he could do very well.

Soll ascends towards divinity!
A shimmering curtain of multi-coloured light surrounds you for an instant as your wounds are healed by divine intervention.
Congratulations! Please do not do anything until a god speaks with you.
** The Divine Ascension has ended! **

With a lurch of air rushing in to fill the empty void in your hands, the Staff of Ascension explodes in your grasp into countless streaks of fiery energy. The burning energy captivates you in its entrancing, limitless depths, and your breath catches in your throat as you witness, in an instant, the genesis, cataclysms, death and rebirth of a thousand cosmos.

You follow these strands of energy higher and higher, your consciousness drifting upon the ever more complex webs woven throughout the cosmos to a more transcendent awareness. Brief disorientation washes over you.

You follow these strands of energy higher and higher, your consciousness drifting upon the ever more complex webs woven throughout the cosmos to a more transcendent awareness. Brief disorientation washes over you; far below your physical body has burnt to naught but ashes by the swirling energies. Panic flickers through you as you realize your death, but it is gone just as suddenly as you are swept away upon the astral winds.

The planes unfold before you, existing collectively and severally simultaneously, each woven with the energies of the other to form a beating, radiant pulse at the centre of creation. The loose, dizzying energies sharpen into tall mountains and endless oceans, deep forests and verdant valleys. It is the First World - Lusternia - more radiant and wondrous than ever before.

Yet a pall shrouds your vision, lurking just beyond the known. Malevolent and mindless. Terrible and all-consuming. It is pure emptiness threatening to engulf all. The Soulless God poised on the cusp of eternal victory. Almighty Kethuru.

The energies surround you in luminous intensity, filling you with limitless power, and you know what must be done. You blaze across the heavens - or are you drawn? - and suddenly Avechna, the Avenger, looms before you. You reach forth your hand and your fingertips collide with the impact of the death of a thousand stars crying out at once.

Across the heavens, the stars and moon challenge night's dark reign, revealing familiar constellations that tell the tales of
myth and legend.

A luminous humanoid being of pure, fiery energy blazes across the heavens, appearing before Avechna, the Avenger. The sublime being reaches forth its hand and its fingertips brush with Avechna's outstretched fingers. There is an explosion of light and sound, blistering with the intensity of a thousand stars, and the aura around the being bespeaks nothing save for limitless power.
4163h, 6167m, 5594e, 10p, 17000en, 25715w esSilrxk<>---\\\\23:01:27:523//
Sublime transcendence washes over you. The power howls to be used even as it consumes your very essence. Blistering heat suffses your heightened senses. A terrible tugging. Pain. Agony. The Seals appear around you and grow more luminous and the Enemy cries out in anger. Searing. Piercing. Exploding. Darkness closes in and you fall into blissful ignorance. You are dying again, but you welcome the absolute silence.
4163h, 6167m, 5594e, 10p, 17000en, 25715w esSilrxk<>---\\\\23:01:39:086//
The Nine Seals re-appear around the twin beings, growing brighter and thrumming with increasing strength and vitality. The Seals grow stronger and more hale even as the crackling divine energies surrounding the luminous creature wane paler.
4163h, 6167m, 5594e, 10p, 17000en, 25715w esSilrxk<>---\\\\23:01:52:976//
The sky cracks and shatters, revealing gibbous eyes and masses of rotten flesh and tentacles. Almighty Kethuru lunges towards the twin pair, but the Nine Seals glow brightly and repel Kethuru, who howls in pain and fury. The Soulless God is driven back, and the sky closes in around Him as a final, ear-shattering cry resounds from His countless slathering mouths.
4163h, 6167m, 5594e, 10p, 17000en, 25715w esSilrxk<>---\\\\23:02:13:992//
The sublime being of energy collapses and dissipates slowly into the air, until nothing remains at all of his once-omnipotent presence. Avechna, the Avenger, guides the Nine Seals down to their caves once more, returning to His stalwart vigil over the peak.
4163h, 6167m, 5594e, 10p, 17000en, 25715w esSilrxk<>---\\\\23:02:38:523//
You see Avechna, the Avenger shout, "Mortals, Soll has made the ultimate sacrifice of his life to restore the Nine Seals, and save all of creation from the threat of Almighty Kethuru, who even know beats hopelessly and relentlessly against the bounds of His prison. Though some scant remnant of his being remains woven through the planar weft, I fear he is gone and lost forever."
4163h, 6167m, 5594e, 10p, 17000en, 25715w esSilrxk<>---\\\\23:02:52:211//
You see Estarra, the Eternal shout, "Soll is dead and yet to be reborn! From his ashes, an Ascended God will rise, forever changed and marked by restoring the Nine Seals, the spark of divinity blazing forth into full godhood. Almighty Kethuru, the bane of all existence, is re-imprisoned... for now."

Having participated in the event, I will have to disagree with the above.

It was more Soll's ability to handle pressure and his resourcefulness, and his familiarity with Astral, that won it for him.

Soll, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't insanely jealous of you and exrtraordiarily pissed at myself about what happened, but you DID do a wonderful job up there. Congrats

You did incredibly well, too. I enjoyed going up against you.

But if you think I was handling that pressure well...
