Khu Ioduan Log Community

Characters: Open
Date: April 8th - 28th
Location: Aifaran
Situation: The mysterious ships emit mysterious toots
Warnings/Rating: Strange noises may cause headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Please consult your doctor should you experience any of these side effects.



After the arches arose from the decks of the two strange ships in the harbor last month, they've been quiet, exhibiting no other odd behavior, until suddenly on the morning of April 8th, they let out a low noise, at the very bottom edge of human hearing. Those with more sensitive ears like Arybar can hear it halfway across the city. The noise - a low, reverberating tone - lasts for one minute. Twelve hours later, it happens again, for another minute. Exactly twelve hours apart for the next few days, it happens for progressively longer periods of time - two minutes, three, five, eight, thirteen, twenty-one, thirty-four, fifty-five, eighty-nine...the final noise lasts for one hundred and forty four minutes, and causes mass headaches across the city. Some residents are so affected by the noise that they collapse.


( A City Divided... )

OOC Notes: Melias will be available for threading upon request. Also please note if you want to investigate the rumours on the Xaxa Network!

Characters: All
Date: Throughout February
Location: Aifaran
Situation: The city is still recovering from the massive storm in December but progress is being made; an important festival is held in defiance of the devastation, to celebrate and to strengthen.
Warnings/Rating: Descriptions of natural disaster damage; please add warnings as appropriate in headers


Ongoing storm recovery continues steadily, with signs of life returning to normal emerging in some areas of the archipelago. Shops slowly begin to open in the least-affected areas of Aifaran, and a good number of people are able to return to their homes, reducing the stress on the shelters and city resources. Mysteries remain, and the city pushes onward.

( Rebuilding continues )




( Tine's Commemoration. )
---

OOC Notes: This is a mingle-log for the entire month of February. Tine's Commemoration is a game-wide event for your characters to participate in (or try and avoid, if they're that type) as much or little as they want to.

Provided below are some starters, but you can make your own too if none of these work for you!

Characters: ALL
Date: December 21 - 31
Location: Primarily Aifaran, with effects across the archipelago
Situation: The storm of the century strikes hard
Warnings/Rating: Natural disaster on the level of a hurricane, including casualties, missing persons, and significant property destruction; please warnings to headers as needed


The winter solstice brings with it not only the darkness of long nights, but of thunderclouds. As the year comes to a close, a massive storm gathers abruptly on the horizon and officials raise an alert that it is on a direct path to make landfall.

( Chaos begins... )

---

OOC Notes: The eddies and other chaos effects are opt-in if you do not wish for your character to be affected, or do not wish to engage with that aspect of the storm.

UPDATE: This log is an activity exemption log and threads may be used to apply to either December AC (which is check-in, in any case) OR January AC.

Characters: All
Date: September 15-30
Location: Aifaran and surrounding areas
Situation: The barrier is displaying increasingly strange behavior.
Warnings/Rating: In individual threads - please remember to warn!

The barrier that surrounds the archipelago is designed to keep the chaos of planes at bay, to safeguard the last great bastion of life in Konryu. The magic that created and sustains the barrier is immense - but not infallible. And a question that few have dared to ask in anything but a hushed whisper now descends upon the city: what if something stronger crawls out of the abyssal dark?

( And silence in their wake )

OOC Notes: The Dreaming Sickness is an opt-in event if you do not wish your character to be affected. This log covers the latter half of September and you may post starters dated anywhere in that time period. Have fun!

Characters: All
Date: June 5-20
Location: Aifaran Fairgrounds
Situation: The Talent Tourney is finally here! Whether you're there as a participant or a spectator, it's a city-wide event that has everyone's spirits high.
Warnings/Rating: TBA if needed


The fifth of June dawns, and the city is abuzz with excitement, even at the small hours of the morning. Tourists have come from all over the remaining civilizations of Konryu to watch the Dreamfolk compete in this renowned magic tourney. Vendors have invaded the streets and are selling merchandise and fried things on sticks at exorbitant prices, and some of them could generously be termed as exotic and, perhaps less charitably, really freaking weird and only possibly intended to be edible.

The Talent Tourney opens with a vibrant display of the mundane and the magical, as both Dreamfolk and representatives of the Alliance races gather together to celebrate the most ephemeral group of its citizens. The opening ceremonies feature a parade route through the streets of Aifaran that starts near the Dreaming Bridge and culminates at the temporary tournament grounds by the old piers. Whether or not a Dreamfolk has opted to participate in the Tourney itself, this is a great opportunity to see demonstrations of dance and music by other cultures. If they're out on the streets as the parade begins, they may find themselves roped into it if they're recognized.

The competitive portion of the Tourney begins on the 6th. The events are divided not only by skill level but by school, in order to keep the competition fair and enjoyable - it would be difficult to properly compare an artistic Illusionist and a Conjurer of imps, for example. There are also open contests, where individuals of any Talent school may participate, and these are geared towards those with more flexible Talents or simply those who like taking on a good challenge.

And even though the Tourney is intended to be a fun, no-pressure (aside from friendly competition) event, like any city with an underside, there are still people who want to capitalize on it. Which is why people, both Dreamfolk and non, may find themselves approached by some shady characters who intimate that for just a small fee, they can get in on some underground betting with great odds.

('Great' being a relative term, depending on the potential of wins or losses, but isn't that the same with any gambling?)

OOC Notes: This event log is for all characters, whether participants or as attendees of the Tourney! If the pre-made starters don't suit your needs, toss in your own, these are just ideas for getting started. Regarding challenge participants, we are leaving the characters' wins/losses to player discretion, and only ask that they be kept realistic. If you have any questions, please ask them here. Have fun!
