+Storms rumble through the skies in Altera. Rain falls from the heavens like spilt blood, missed lances of lightning strike the earth, and thunder booms in titanic conflict above.+
17th January, 2022

+The storm overhead continues into a second day. Flashes of crimson and purple battle back against the lightning, setting the clouds alight. +
+The world below is tainted by it, a colored gloom in reflection. +
+The clouds part above the blightlands, the lone field of sunlight relentlessly baking the ground below. +
+Mages feel weary, drained, as if drawn upon like water from a well. +
+ Purple lightning strikes the ground with the sound of breaking glass, causing brief purple fires.+
(Those that are yet to fully transition from using the old system have halved SP. Those fully on the new system feel the same IC, but have no mechanical loss from the new pool size. )
18th January, 2022

+For the third day and night, the storms and flashes of lightning continue unabated.+
+Rivers of flowers weave between the thunder, rose petals drifting to the ground along with the rain.+
+Waves of the rain are tinted purple, staining where they land. +
+ A carved pillar of immense size darkens the sky off the northwestern corner of the continent, plummeting towards the earth. The ground quakes beneath the impact, waves rising to batter the nearby coasts. After it touches down, the oddity of the purple rain recedes. +
19th January, 2022

+At the rise of the fourth day, the rains recede and the thunder quiets as the clouds march from the field. For the first time in days, the sky may be seen.+
+On the fourth night a new nebula paints a swath of the sky, a lingering scar from the preceding battle.+
20th January, 2022

+ Several people from around the continent appear to melt into pools of blood with no warning. +
+ Clouds of locusts are seen all across the continent, temporarily darkening the skies for the next half hour. Drops of blood fall, and imagery of skulls with mouths full of sharp teeth are able to be seen. +
27th January, 2022

+In the bars and back rooms, sailors speak in hushed tones; of the sea and its whims, its ebb and flow. In the day it is lively, winds brisk and currents strong along the trade routes. In the night great swathes of it sit mirror-smooth, wreathed in mist and dark as the abyss. They murmur that it seems to creep more and more into the morning hours, the favorable winds less jovial.+
21st February, 2022

+The Rift, the tear between worlds, flashes scarlet one night. A sweltering heat grows within the fort surrounding it, hot as the desert for any that tread near and through it. Miners searching for resources come back with fewer men than they went in with, causing a few to be distressed. +
23rd February, 2022

+Across the continent, libraries report strange happenings. One or two books in their collection have gone blank or missing entirely, and some individuals within said libraries feel their memories are fuzzy but report silver and blue cracks briefly appearing across the bookcases+
23rd June, 2022

+ The earth shook south of the Eastern Continent. A bright blue and white beam appeared to shoot into the sky and the clouds darkened. Spores of teal drifted into the air and foreign foliage has begun to grow around the southern-east deserts... Something mischievous brews.+
July 17th, 2022

+ This night, all who sleep seem to experience the same vivid nightmare. Those who cannot, or do not sleep do not experience it though feel uncomfortable during the same evening hours, slightly unnerved... +
August 8th, 2022

+ A deep-blue beam of light flashes within the outskirts of the southern lands before it vanishes. Dark clouds begin to form one night before they disperse the next morning. The lands of the southern deserts begin to form a garden corrupting anew... A Warped Eden. Trees of blue will begin to sprout. Fungi begin to grow on rocks and through the mountains of the desert. Creatures turn slightly --mutated and demonic. Something wicked has perched upon mortal lands. Throughout the Eastern Continents, the night sky seems to tint a deep blue with a twinkling teal Southern star, opposite the Northern one. It stays for three nights, before it vanishes from the skies. +
October 9th, 2022

+ Forests around the Eastern continents within the southern hemisphere find that a few moss growing there seem to carry a teal hue instead of a vibrant green. Tiny shrooms of a teal glow (shroomlight) seem to grow upon shadowed locations and caves- and herbalists claim they cannot recognize it as one of their worlds, but anothers. Upon the next five days, people begin to see a twinkling teal southern star reappear once more during clear skies.
It remains before it'll flicker out again. +
November 1st, 2022

+ Those who find themselves observing the blanket of stars above Altera note a peculiarity, if only for a few fleeting minutes. A star beyond the realms sun shimmers and pulses with an odd light, speckles of gold and red briefly illuminating it. These quickly fade away into the great expanse of inky blackness, claimed by the void of night. +
January 21st, 2023

+ For the next week, starting today- the shores of every island and coastline experience varying frequencies of storms and high winds. Seawater crashes against docks and stray boats crash against land. Sailors seem to claim going further into the oceans prove difficult to maneuver. And there have been claims of village coastlines needing to evacuate for its duration. As night touches on the last three days of the calming storms (Between the 27th and 29 of Jan)- upon the eastern coasts of the Eastern Kingdoms- the waters will be graced by an alluring glow of sea-green that drifts along its surface like serpents, in a mimic of auroras. The seas around Drakenport seem untouched by these weather reports. +
January 22nd, 2023

The Ashlands and neighboring towns around its perimeter begin to smell a scent of citrus in the air. It passes by with the breeze for a few days. The hellscape's foliage grows wilder within Warped Eden and the night skies there seem to carry a permanent teal hue.
February 8th, 2023

Sightings of the uncommon wendigo have become sparce, with no travelers, hunters, or locals reporting having seen any in some time. With there always being something strange going on the north, busybodies with nothing else to do or persons with an adventurous spirit have embarked to investigate. In the caves, the cave wendigo is dead; in the woods, the cries of the forest wendigo can no longer be heard; however, its last species remains. The bodies that are found are often found all together, in inexplicable rotting clumps. Usually in high places, with mushrooms or stalks of fungus growing from their bodies. The bad air emanating from them makes people sick if they draw too close. Though, those that survive are not quite those of old. The plague that has swept through their populations seems to have affected the survivors. Now they are not quite the beasts they were, and their old name has fallen out of use. They are now known as Echoes.
February 19th, 2023

A chilling illness is tearing through Storm's Landing, seemingly coming from the wells around the Farmlands and Farm District. Anyone drinking or passing through this location must make a Body+Fortitude save. Players must roll 1 success with a DC of 8 to not contract the disease. Within one hour of this, the character will begin to experience one of the following symptoms in a subtle manner, gradually growing more pronounced: [ x ]

This night, all who sleep seem to experience the same vivid nightmare. Those who cannot, or do not sleep do not experience it though feel uncomfortable during the same evening hours, slightly unnerved...

The dream is as follows;

The individual opens their eyes, as if awakening, yet they are in a seemingly calm and peaceful townhouse that strangely feels familiar. The birds are chirping and the sun is gleaming through the windows. They come to a false moment of realisation that the life they had been living was a dream and that instead this is their true reality that they have woken up to. In this lucid state, a startled bang from the room adjacent to them is heard and thus they follow it. Upon entering the room, they see a heavily pregnant woman sitting on the floor in a white gown, going into labour.

The individual feels a strong connection to the woman, as if they have known them for years, and kneels down to aid the woman. Her screams grow loud as she clutches onto the individual’s hand, tighter and tighter. Each scream is louder than the next, piercing through the individual’s ears as her grip becomes excruciatingly tight. The individual is helpless at comforting the woman and their voice is muted by her banshee-like screams, until suddenly… silence. Her head slumps forward and her grip releases, leaving an eerie silence in the room. Out of nowhere, the woman flings her head back and screams with an unnatural intensity, causing the room to shake rigorously and the windows to shatter, as blood begins to stain her dress. The walls ooze with blood as the blood-curdling screams continue. In a panic, the individual attempts to get away, but the woman grips onto them once again, but this time her fingers pierce straight into their skin. While feeling the agony of this, the woman pins them to the ground and opens her mouth unnaturally wide, breaking her jaw to reveal a black pit. One by one, eight large, hairy spider legs emerge from inside her throat and proceed to weave the individual in a suffocating cocoon of thick webbing – more akin to barbwire. As the intense fear and agony of the individual causes them to slowly lose consciousness, the woman’s face morphs into the individual’s closest loved one, which is the last thing they see before slowly fading away.
Then, they awaken with a start, pulled from the nightmare, swearing they saw a glimpse of something red glinting in the corner of their vision... But free to continue on their lives as they were.

A chilling illness is tearing through Storm's Landing, seemingly coming from the wells around the Farmlands and Farm District. Anyone drinking or passing through this location must make a Body+Fortitude save. Players must roll 1 success with a DC of 8 to not contract the disease. Within one hour of this, the character will begin to experience one of the following symptoms in a subtle manner, gradually growing more pronounced:​

+ Vision goes blurry, making it more difficult to differentiate things at a distance and able to devolve into full blindness at player discretion.​
+ Hearing sporadically grows unreliable, one moment the infected may hear perfectly. Next they are completely deaf for a short time.​
+ The sense of taste is overtaken by the taste of iron, the capacity to discern something like meat from cheese becoming indistinguishable.​
+ The infected feels bouts of numbness, as if having slept on their arm for an hour. Feeling such all across their body for short periods throughout the day.​
+ Their nose feels congested at random times of the day​
+ The infected develop paranoia and hallucinations over time causing them to catch glimpses of humanoid figures in corners of their vision. With it worsening over time.​
+ The infected occasionally feels phantom sensations of a hand on the shoulder, or a touch to the wrist, a breath on the back of the neck.​
+ As the hearing of the infected worsens, they gradually develop auditory hallucinations. Occasionally hearing whispers from strangers and those the infected are familiar with and know are dead.​
+ Occasionally, the infected will bleed from the eyes, ears, nose or mouth. Though its nothing exceptionally serious.​
More symptoms will manifest each day, with increasing severity until the disease has run its course. Please open a lore ticket for any healers who are investigating.​

The Splinter, the blue and indigo coloured cosmic scar in the night skies, seems to intensify in colour for the next three nights, the eastern side of the vast northern tundra being clear skies in twilight hours for this duration.​

A strange red mist appears in Candlewood, seemingly causing people to turn into vyres. Everyone in the surrounding area for the next 24 OOC hours must make a Body+Fortitude roll. With fewer than two successes at DC 8, the disease is contracted. Anyone in the area bitten by a vyre, undead, or infected must make this same roll. Beginning on Day 3 post-infection, the characters experience one of the following symptoms:​

+ The infected develop a bigger appetite, their metabolism increasing with them easily ignoring or forgetting previous inhibitions about their diet.​
+ They gain a general aversion to brighter lights with them easily getting lethargic and developing first degree burns if out in sunlight for too long.​
+ The diseased will find that they have more energy in darker more dim rooms and during the night than they would the day. Gifting them some energy to work with.​
+ The natural eye color of the infected turns red.​
+ Their sense of touch is lessened, extremities like the ends of their fingers feeling numb.​
+ The victim’s senses are periodically overtaken throughout the day with the smell and taste of blood or rot.​
+ Optionally, a character may turn into a lineless Vyre of any type through this method. Causing them to be immune to the virus entirely.​
A second symptom manifests on Day 6, and a third on Day 8. Please open a lore ticket for any healers who are investigating.​
Edit: As the illness spreads, those biten by an infected Vyre will turn into a Feral Vyre. Those initially rolling from an infection from the first outbreak can become a lineless vyre, except for a Lover.

Constructs all across the realm feel a tug. Something pulling them into change. Mortalkind notice all of them leaving, for short periods of time — and in that time, a change occurs. When they return, they are different. Renewed. For they have found new purpose.


(This is to explain the new Construct Lore. All player constructs can update accordingly how they see fit - any questions you may have please make a lore ticket!)
