Strange harvest

2015-09-06T21:47:38Z

OliverF: /* Opportunity */

<ic>Walter leant forward, carefully turning the cerulean blossom this way and that in his gloved hand. For such a large man, his touch was surprisingly delicate. Behind him, Bertrand shifted his weight from foot to foot, opened his mouth several times, but ultimately said nothing.

Carefully, Walter took a petal of one of the blue flowers between thumb and forefinger, and pulled. The petal resisted, stretching slightly. He increased the pressure, and it finally came loose. He brought it to his nose, sniffed it. Removed one of his gloves and gingerly crushed the petal, then sniffed his fingers.

Then he stepped back.

"What do you think?" Asked Betrand, anxiously.

Walter nodded. "Definitely the same thing. Same flower, same bush, same thorns. It is the same as the one growing on my farm, same as the one Helena has wrapped around one of her trees. There's a few minor differences, but nothing I'd say was significant. As a botanist, I mean."

Bertrand screwed up his face in thought for a moment then, as if he were exploring the idea, he said:

"But all the other plants were different?"

Walter nodded again. "Yes. I've not seen the same aberration twice in any of the farms, or the woods. They were all unrelated, effectively unique, and to be honest with you a lot stranger than this bush although ..."

He pointed then to the ground beneath the thorny briar.

"Do you see? The grass is dead. I saw that in the other cases too. I'll wager that within a fortnight every other small plant within three paces of the bush will be dead. I can't explain it, but I have suspicions. I think the bush is pulling something out of the soil. We'd best hope it doesn't spread."

He pondered, tugging his earlobe again. Peered around the rest of the field. A trio of yeomen were hard at work clearing unnaturally vital weeds, and a small sapling that semed to all the world to be trying to hit them with one of it's thin, springy branches.

"But it's not showing much sign of -"

Walter stopped. Bertrand had gone white, like a man who had seen a ghost. He was looking past Walter, at the bush. Walter turned.

The petals were falling from the blue flowers. One by one they curled up, died, and dropped off. Where the flowers had been, there were now dozens of tiny pods - a little like rose hips. Even as they watched, these hips dessicated and popped audibly and dropped off until only one was left. That one fruit continued to swell turning a deep ruby red as it did so. Bertrand cried out a warning convinced it was about to explode ... but then it stopped. Nestled in among the thorny fronts, a crimson fruit a little smaller than a man's fist.

"Well that was unexpected," said Walter calmly. He leant in to examine the fruit, prodded it with a bare finger and regretted it immediately. It seemed firm to the touch, and he was taken with how full of vitality it was. He had to fight down the urge to take a bite out of it - it looked delivious.

He chewed his moustache thoughtfully instead, and then made up his mind.

"I think we're going to have to get Lady Julienne involved. Send a runner up to the manor and ask if she can spare us an hour or to of her time. You might also discreetly send someone to ask the Circle of the White Hare if they want to come and look at this. I think this is beyond the two of us now, my friend - and whatever is going on here is a damn sight more unnatural than ..."

He gestured to the yeomen still wrestling with the new sapling in the middle of the wheat field.

"Than whatever is going on everywhere else."</ic>
==Overview==
Less than a month after the Summer Solstice, thick clouds of vallorn miasma spread from [[Brocéliande]] into [[Casinea]], [[Astolat]] and [[Semmerholm]]. Reports indicate that these clouds are accompanied by bands of [[ettercap|ettercaps]] - insect-like abominations - that attack farms and settlements near the outskirts of the dark [[Navarr|Navarri]] forest. The ettercaps are a nuisance, but they are quickly dealt with. Soldiers of the [[Varushka military concerns#The Northern Eagle|Northern Eagle]] garrisoned in Casinea work with soldiers from the [[Casinea#The Silent Sentinel|Silent Sentinel]] to ensure that none of the ettercaps manage to get more than half a mile from the edges of the forest. The garrison of the [[Astolat#The Castle of Thorns|Castle of Thorns]] makes short work of those beasts with the temerity to attack Astolat. In Semmerholm, the attacks are dealt with by [[questing knight|questing knights]] and [[yeoman of Dawn|yeoman]] militia, accompanied by seasoned troops from [[Astolat#The Gate|the Gate]] (the [[fortification]] that guards the now-secure passes into [[Holberg]]), and several bands of Navarri thorns from [[Brocéliande#Boar.27s_Dell|Boar's Dell]].

The ettercaps are vicious beasts; cunning enough to be a challenge one-on-one, but no match for a disciplined band of Imperial soldiers. Those that do not flee back into the [[vallorn]]-tainted forests are mercilessly slaughtered, their bodies burnt on great pyres to ensure they do not taint the soil or the woodlands. Within three weeks, the number of sporadic attacks drops significantly, and then peters out completely.

However, this small-scale invasion was just a prelude, it appears, to a more worrying occurance. It is followed by a wave of transformation that strikes the [[farm|farms]] and [[forest]] preserves of Casinea, Astolat, and Semmerholm.

Roughly a quarter of all farm produce is found to be twisted, strange, and unnatural. Orchards produce aberrant fuit whose colour, texture, shape, and flavour bear little resemblance to the expected apples and pears. Wheat fields are found to contain a scattering of unknown roots and vegetables, as well as oddly hued flowers that move and sway in the absence of any wind, or tangled briars that produce peculiar berries. .

At the same time, a similar portion of valuable materials gathered from the forests of the three territories is found to be unusuable. [[Mundane_beasts#Iridescent_Butterfly|Iridescent butterflies]] emerge from their coccoons misshapen and monstrous; [[materials#Ambergelt|ambergelt]] flows slowy or unnaturally fast, and solididies into unsettling shapes and unfamiliar hues. Near [[Semmerholm#Rucastle|Rucastle]], and entire stand of [[Materials#Beggar's Lye|beggarwood]] trees put forth opalescant blossoms that smell of rotting flesh and attract swarms of buzzing late-summer flies that sting and bite the yeomen trying to gather bark and wood for beggar's lye; in [[Casinea#Mareholm|Marehom]] [[Highguard|Highborn]] workers unearth deposits of [[Materials#Dragonbone|dragonbone]] that seem half-formed and corrupt, like rotting fruit twisted into obnoxiously organic shapes.

The yeomen and farm workers largely deal with these aberrations with fire. [[Magister|Magisters]] and [[Dawn_magical_traditions|witches]], however, soon discover an interesting trend. Growing on most - if not all - of the affected farms is a hardy, thorny bush that puts forth dark blue flowers, which give rise within a month to a peculiar fruit which appears similar to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate pomegranate]. The fruit dies, dries out, and become brittle very quickly - the entire cycle plays out over a little under ninety days. These fruit are reasonably rare - a bush produces one a season - but the resulting seed pods can be employed in a similar fashion to [[Game_items#Mana_Crystals|crystal mana]] when performing [[rituals]] of the Spring realm. It is as if the fruit contains or concentrates some of the limitless, fertile energy of that fecund Realm - or of the vallorn itself.

Further investigation spots a disturbing trend. There is compelling evidence that these transformations did not all occur at the same time, but spread first to the farms and forest preserves nearest to Broceliande ... and nearest to the [[trods]]. Careful examination, and consultation with Navarr [[Navarr_magical_traditions#Vates|vates]] whose [[striding|stridings]] passed through the three affected territories, confirmed that the magical energy that caused this widespread transformation flowed out of Broceliande, along the trods, and into the soil, water and even the air itself.

The energy that created this burst of unnatural transformation is receding and fading - and the majority of the unnatural plants are dying as the magic ebbs. Preliminary examinations show that the trods themselves are undamaged, but dispells any doubt that the magic originated with the Broceliande vallorn. This means that the eerie fruits harvested this season in [[Dawn]] and [[Highguard]] seem unequivocably linked to that parasitic threat.

==Significance==
===Consequences===
Any character who owns a farm or forest [[Resource#Personal_Resource|personal resource]] in the effected territories - in Astolat, Casinea, or Semmerholm - will find that the amount of money or measures of material produced by that resource has been reduced by a quarter. This represents the income lost to the unnatural, transformative touch of unfettered Spring magic.

At the same time, each such character should find a ribbon for a "Seeds of the Forest" in their pack. Infused with Spring potence, these seed pods are protected by a coarse-husked fruit and can be used by ritualists performing rituals from the Realm of Spring.

An immediate problem arises because these pods are obviously connected to the vallorn - and the [[Imperial Conclave]] has [[Declaration#Declaration of Interdiction|interdicted]] vallorn seeds. If these pods are determined to be vallorn seeds then they should be handed in promptly to the civil service. Anyone using or trading them risks being charged with contravening a declaration of interdiction, a serious crime that usually carries a death sentence.

===The Senate===
Several concerned farmers and foresters are looking to the [[Imperial Senate|Senate]] for further clarification. The Senate might choose to amend the current law which makes it illegal to cultivate [[List_of_Criminal_Offences#Crimes of Property|vallorn]]. Previous guidance from the magistrates on this subject was that "when they investigate a potential offence of Vallorn cultivation they will seek expert testimony from the Conclave in cases where the position is unclear. For example, planting or tending a vallorn is very likely to be interpreted to be vallorn cultivation but harvesting magical ingredients from a naturally occurring vallorn pod may or may not be." Magistrate Karkovich has indicated his intention to consult with the Archmage of Spring and the Advisor on the Vallorn about both these issues.

Additionally, the magical transformation wrought by the Spring magic has produced other exotic plant material in the affected farms and forests. These unique fruits, vegetables, and plants appear to have no special properties beyond their strange appearance, but they are still being burnt. A motion by the Senate to clarify that trading such produce is not a crime could provide a significant boost of additional money to the affected farms and forests during the coming season - but may have unlooked for consequences depending on whether that produce has any hidden properties.

===Opportunity===
Any character with a farm or forest in one of the effected territories can choose to actively cultivate the Spring-mana producing plant. Mundane means will not suffice, however; the plant requires a burst of spring magic if it is to survive. This can most easily be achieved by use of the ritual [[Blessing of New Spring]]. If the ritual is performed on a character with a farm or forest in one of the three effected territories, their production will be permanently reduced by 36 rings or 2 measures as appropriate, but their resource will also permanently produce a piece of Spring mana each season.

This enchantment normally has no effect when performed on a character with a forest, and would not normally be performed during the Autumn equniox for obvious reasons. In this case however, the nature of the magical event means it will have an unlooked for effect. It is worth noting that it does not matter if the casting of this ritual is deliberate or not, only that the enchantment it creates remains in effect until the start of the next Profound Decisions Empire event (that is, if another enchantment is placed on the resource, the blessing of new spring will be removed and the attempt to permanently cultivate the mana-seed-pods will fail).

A few alternative options exist. If the ritual [[Hallow of the Green World]] were performed during this event, it would automatically cultivate the peculiar mana-plant in all forests and farms in the three effected territories. Likewise, an [[Spontaneous_magic#Arcane_Projection|arcane projection]] from the spring realm that enhanced fertility over an entire territory would automatically support the magical plant if cast in the territory. The important element is that the farm or forest be infused with a burst of spring energy.

==Participation==
If you are one of the characters affected, you may wish to provide a suitable phys-rep for these exotic pods. A scarp of hessian folded over and stuffed with something will make a perfectly adequate phys-rep, as might a dried poppy or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lotus_seed_pod.jpg lotus seed pod] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppy_straw poppy straw].

Any character whose roleplaying mandates that they would simply have had these seed pods destroyed is encouraged to hand the "Seeds of the Forest" ribbon back in at GOD, or else simply destroy it. They will still suffer the reduced production for their farm or forest.

Summer Solstice 2015

2015-07-22T22:41:04Z

OliverF: /* Site Map */ Changed description of exit due to swapping of Dawn and the Brass Coast.

==Overview==
This page lists all the details that are specific for the Summer Solstice 2015. There is an additional page with [[event information]] which lists arrival and departure times and similar details that are common for all Empire events.

==IC News==
Please see the [[379YE Summer Solstice winds of fortune]] for the latest IC developments known throughout the Empire.

For the Civil Service events set to occur and at what location, please refer to the external link to this [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1At-7oWR6snT7oxEg7hyXGgjw8zCNw5rFGMr2xNLZwzE/edit?usp=sharing civil service timetable]

==Battles==
At the event we will be running two large battles, one Saturday morning and one Sunday morning. The large battles will follow the normal rules for [[battles]]; you may only participate in a single battle as your character and you must monster the other battle if you decide to participate in one. The sides for the battles will be chosen by the generals in the [[Muster]] of the [[Imperial Military Council]] on Friday night.

The fighting begins at 11:00 am - but if you are playing the battle then you will need to muster up before this time and if you are monstering then you need to make your way to the monster area for 10:00 am to give us time to get you into costume, made-up and briefed.

==Quests==
At our previous event we asked for player volunteers to give us a few hours to monster some of our larger quests. This let us run much more plot at the event so we're asking for more help again this time.

To help us organize folk, we've set aside a slot for each nation to volunteer to monster, which are listed below.

<table>
<tr><th colspan="2">Saturday</th></tr>
<tr><th>Time</th><th>Nation</th></tr>
<tr><td>14:00-15:30</td><td>Imperial Orcs & The Marches</td></tr>
<tr><td>15:00-16:30</td><td>Wintermark</td></tr>
<tr><td>16:00-17:30</td><td>The League & Varushka</td></tr>
<tr><td>17:00-18:30</td><td>Brass Coast & Urizen</td></tr>
<tr><td>18:00-19:30</td><td>Dawn & Highguard</td></tr>
<tr><td>19:00-20:30</td><td>Navarr</td></tr>
</table>

Monstering during this slot is purely voluntary - but it will help us put on a much better event for everyone. We are tracking the numbers of players who volunteer from each nation on an ongoing basis and using that to create equivalent sized quest opportunities for those nations at the next event. In effect, we'll try and deliver more fights to the nations that volunteer the most - on the assumption that those nations contain the players who want those opportunities the most.

==Site Map==
The site map is below; there is an exit gate behind the Brass Coast camp that leads onto Burford Lane. We will be operating a one-way system at the event with players who are dropping off IC tents and equipment in this field following the marked road until they reach the gate. Once there they should travel around the site and come back in through the entrance to park in one of the two OOC fields.

The roads will be marked with fencing pins and rope as usual. There is a narrow strip of land around the edge of each field which is deliberately set aside for use by birds and wildlife. This area will be fenced off, as you ''must'' make sure that you do not drive or camp there.

The camp coordinators for each camp will have their own layout for their camp, showing where all the tents they know about are to be pitched. If you do not know where you are supposed to be camping, then please speak to them on arrival at your nation's camp.

We are confident that the ground will be much dryer and firmer at this event, but please make sure that you follow the directions provided by the red caps when you arrive on site. No unescorted vehicles are allowed off the roads in the IC camping area. The road will be wide enough for you to pull up and park so that you can unload your vehicle next to your camp. Please unload your camping equipment and then move your vehicle to the car park before putting up your tent to allow other players to unload.

If you have a trailer or a large vehicle filled with heavy kit then you may drive that on to the field to unload. To do that you must wait for a member of the PD security team who will escort you vehicle to your camp where you can unload your vehicle. Once you are ready to move your vehicle to the car park you must request a member of the PD team escort your vehicle off the field.
{{CaptionedImage|file=Siteoutline 5.png|title=Site Map|align=right|width=100%}}

We have a ''lot'' of players booked for this event, so we're trying to organize the parking a little better in advance. If you are not staying on site overnight then please park your car in the far field next to the exit gate. You can enter and leave by that gate as needed. If you are staying on site but do not have any OOC tents, then please park in the marked parking area in the quiet camping field. Anyone who wishes to camp in this field is welcome to do so as normal, provided that they respect the quiet camp designation.

==OOC Camping==
The OOC camping area will be laid out in lines so that people can pitch their tent next to their car. The gate team will direct you where to park. The section of the OOC camp nearest to the IC area will be set aside for any player with mobility issues as normal. Please ask the gate crew for directions if you are eligible to camp here.
