After Albion was killed and raised again:


A snow dusted forest giving way to spring.
The area is bathed with argent light as a thrumming power in the ground
resonates from a war shrine of Lisaera nearby. Small flakes of white float
through your field of vision here and there. A mature hornbeam tree stands
proudly here. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the
ground. Luna, the First of the Maidens kneels on the ground and plays with a
squirrel. There are 5 Ladies of the Silver Light here. The statuesque form of a
Lady of the Argent Light stands imposingly here. Albion, the First of the Crones
is here, bent over her cauldron. A humble song sparrow twitters cheerily here,
flickers of aetherspace around her wings conveying a dizzying sense of scale.
Lendren Starfall, Cuirr Arrane towers here, shrouded. He wields a mandolin of
pale wood in his left hand and the Ledger of the Spirits in his right. He is
surrounded by one reflection of himself. Iola L'Eternae, High Wisdom of the Moon
is here. She wields the Archives of the Moon in her left hand and an athame
dagger in her right. Druidess of the Wilde, Bea Starleaf is here. She wields a
mystic cudgel in her left hand. Moon Priestess, Accalia Caelicus-Starleaf towers
here. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand. Adherent of the Mother,
Serella L'Eternae is here. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand.
Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden stands here, amidst a vortex of ethereal energy.
She wields a sparkling crystal athame in Her right hand. High Priest Laysus
L'Eternae, Bearer of the Silver Chalice is here. He wields a silver mirror
shield in his left hand and a jagged athame of etched silver in his right. Myrkr
Kuriskagi is here. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand.
You see exits leading north and southeast.

You perform a graceful curtsey.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "Is this everyone?"

Moon Priestess, Accalia Caelicus-Starleaf says, "As far as I know."

Laysus nods his head emphatically.

High Priest Laysus L'Eternae, Bearer of the Silver Chalice says, "I think so."

Lisaera nods solemnly.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "There may be pain in this ritual, as a
warning."

Myrkr gulps nervously.

You whisper soothing words to Myrkr.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden turns toward Albion and smiles, holding a hand out
before Her.

Albion, the First of the Crones hold's out her withered hand and grasps
Lisaera's, gazing at the Goddess.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "You have suffered much, My daughter."

Albion, the First of the Crones says, "Suffering is part of life, and brings
wisdom, Lady."

Albion, the First of the Crones says, "As the winter chill brings death and
twilight, it also awakens the fire of survival in the children of Nature. This
is what I learned from you, Lady."

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "Death comes to all."

Nodding, Albion, the First of the Crones says, "And it is part of life to
embrace it."

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden grasps Albion's hand more tightly and smiles.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "The tree falls from the strike of lightning,
having lived out its full life."

A flash of lightning hits the trees around you, setting them ablaze.

The roaring inferno engulfs you as you fight to find a way out.

Tael's aura of weapons rebounding disappears.
Tael raises his hands and clouds form and darken overhead, releasing a heavy
rain that drenches the area.

Lisaera flashes Tael a joyous smile.

Lunar Guardian, Tael Talnara says, "Pardon me."

Albion, the First of the Crones says, "So the young sapling grows again from the
remains."

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "This is life. And its Natural cycle."

Albion, the First of the Crones nods solemnly.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden lets go of Albion's hand and kneels by her, kissing
her lightly on the cheek.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "My Daughter, you must give strength and
wisdom to the Serenwilde now."

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "Teach them how to live, and to take all that
comes."

Albion, the First of the Crones smiles a wan, wizened smile.

Albion, the First of the Crones says, "I have always done so, my Lady."

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden stands once more and smiles.

You feel refreshed from the blessings of Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden as a
healing aura radiates from Her.

Lisaera, the Midnight Maiden says, "Stay strong, Serenwilde."

Back already?

That's awesome.

Ugh, I know right? Why is there such an imbalance with Cosmic and Ethereal raiding?

...like that we don't have access to elemental essence as easily as you guys, so we get there slower without help?

I don't know, why is there that imbalance! Upgrade Fae to 5 power per and let them be givable to dead avatars!

Why is there such an imbalance with Prime city and Prime commune raiding?

If you're talking about Villages, I don't notice much difference. If you're talking about Capitals, who raids those anyways?

@Shiri: How fast did you get Albion back? Right.

With help, I hear. Nice try though. Upgrades plz.

EDIT: And your first point says it all, btw. You don't know who raids those 'cause it's much harder to raid prime cities. Raiding Prime Serenwilde isn't exactly uncommon.

Seren probably zerged essence as always, if you really cared to keep them down, you could have done so easily.

Also, raiding prime capitals is still doable, but Rika's question is valid.

I mean since we're pointing at various imbalances everywhere, why is Glom's way into their Aspects only accessible in a tree above the Ethereal Ravenwood, which probably has a Bard knockdown song and an angry totem, as opposed to Seren's easy, far, ground level entrance?

Because all of our threads / posts discussing it have been overlooked, somehow?

I would suggest making fae power income scale with empowered Aspects, but we have totems.

Anyways, yes, the Hart Aspect glade/grove/whatever entrance should be moved to the nexus.

(The totem isn't angry, though. The totem is gentle and loving, just like the person bonded to it.)
