Beyond the Door: Incursion Information

Postby Doyle » Tue Mar 15, 2016 10:11 pm

As many of you are aware, we will soon be completing the last leg of a mission started eons ago during the Golden Age. For longer than most can remember we have lived under the threat of the death behind the door. The current set of seals, already replacements themselves, have been shattered down to one, and that one hangs by a thread. All attempts to forge or find replacement seals have failed. This leaves but one option, to travel beyond the doorway, and deal with the thing the ancients referred to as Death itself.

In order to prevail we will need the whole of Valorn, every profession and skill level. We will divide into two groups: The Incursion, who will travel beyond the door and the Siegeguard, who will stay behind to defend. Both of are equal importance, and unless both succeed, we all fail. It is up to each adventurer to make the choice for themselves as to what role they will play on the historic turn. In the hopes of aiding in this decision we have compiled all knowledge we have on each group and divided it into two separate scrolls. Please consider both closely, it is not a choice to be made lightly.

Incursion:

Shamson has stated that intelligence and the ability to keep calm under great pressure are the most important traits of those going beyond.

High Queen Cordelia will be using the Sword of Valorn to unseal the doorway. The Incursion group, including both High Cleric Shamson and the linguist Quarrus will travel through. Once there, they will attempt to locate the ancient weapon we believe to be inside and destroy the creature beyond.

Based on the information at the Cenotaph and Branishor's cycles of research, it is believe the Golden Age warriors transported a 'weapon' beyond but were not able to activate it, or protect themselves against this death. Once located, Quarrus will assist adventurers in activating it.

To protect those making the journey, clerics from Branishor as well as the High Cleric himself will be using a powerful incantation that is part blessing and part spell. This will act as a barrier against what is beyond and allow those who make the trip the time to complete the mission.

However, to the best of our knowledge, beyond the door is out of the reach of life monuments. No one who has entered has ever returned, at any rate. Should anyone die beyond, there is no guarantee that they will be saved by the gods. High Cleric Shamson has encouraged any who are going beyond to make sure all disagreements with families and friends have been settled in advance.

After a set amount of marcs, if there has been no word or return, the door, and those within, will once again be closed up using the lone remaining seal.

With the importance of this mission all adventurers are free to decide where they wish to assist. If you would like to be part of the Incursion, may the gods be with you.

Penned by the Council of Branishor, and The Iron Order, on behalf of the Crown and for the people


I cannot add all that much myself except to reiterate the need to have tied up as many loose ends and made any arrangements should things go awry.

If you have any questions, please ask any member of the Order and we will answer as best as we can. If you have decided to be part of the Incursion unit, please let us know so we can start to plan how to distribute our forces.

*approaches the notice board and signs her name in a clear script, then tacks a note to the board*

"For any wishing to contemplate selflessness or purity of heart, mind, will, and soul, please visit the Honor Purification Ring. This ring is a tribute to the Purification Ceremony held a great many sunrifters past.

You can find the Honor Guild Hall by leaving north out of Dundee, taking the first left turn onto the swamp path then take the foot path north. Go west to the Courtyard of Honor, south through the amphitheater, then east where you can pause at Holy Redeemer's Chapel of Elijah before making your way to the Purification Ring.

With blessings for the safety of Valorn, yours,

Honor
"

**tacks an addendum onto Reesa's note, attempting to copy her scripted handwriting. "If, like a normal person about to die, you would instead prefer to contemplate the bottom of an ale mug or a table top's suitability for dancing, please find the nearest inn instead. Or you know, piousness is good."**
