— MECHAMAY: DETAILS —

GENERAL INFORMATION

As teased in this month's mod post, this event will focus on Sosyne and Aiada. As some might've noticed in the State of the Arehtei posts, Sosyne has been in a strange mood for some time and has departed the island to try and do something about this. Aiada, feeling down about not having people of her own like some of her brethren, has tagged along. The two have stumbled across a technological city by the sea and call for any suckers avid adventurers to come on down and check it out for them! They just know there’s something special about this place. They can feel it in their fins/tree branches.

But before even the first airships arrive to the city, an ominous event occurs: All alignment to Sosyne is lost.

Oh yeah, and the city is under attack.

MAY I HAVE A TIMELINE?

• The call by Aiada and Sosyne occurs on Friday, May 8th , and during that time emotional effects on the island itself will occur in response to the Arehteis’ excitement.
  
• The log for the main event will be up , Sunday, May 10th and will be forward dated to the IC date, Friday, May 15th . The event will take place for 1 day ICly, and an aftermath/wrap up post will go up on the Friday, May 22nd.
  
• Despite the initial call for adventurers, an emergency call will be put out soon after the first airships arrive, and transport via the teleporter made available.

THERE MAY BE DANGER...

What any first or later arrivals will find in the newly discovered city is chaos. Sosyne can be seen in her larger form, furious and adding to the chaos.

• Briarlan’s presence can be found in not only the Mecharehtei scattered all over, but also in generators producing waves of emotion that are bolstering a larger issue found around town: Monsters.
  
• But this isn’t just a fighty mission: This is a rescue mission. People--human and non-human alike--are scattered, some with the capabilities to fight, but most thrown in a panic. A crater in the heart of the city shows that whatever happened, someone came to get what they wanted by force, and made sure to leave more than enough problems in their wake.

For those staying behind in Verens, there will be a fragment of the anger issues.

• Land and roads across the island will have opened up in an eruption of anger, spilling out geysers that last for a minute. Water pipes have burst, and the entirety of Lake Niras’ surface has become coated in fried fish. Please give a prayer to those we have lost, or consider having salmon for dinner.
  
• Help will also be needed to deal with the sudden refugees coming from the city. Those who can tend to the wounded or offer blankets and food. While some will be wary and quiet, there will be others who will point the blame at the refugees.

ALIGNED NO MORE

As the general info said, those aligned to Sosyne will find that's no longer the case as they are no longer aligned to any of the Arehtei.

• Their crystals will no longer reflect the Arehtei's color, emotions won't go to Sosyne, and she's enraged over not being able to sense her aligned. However they will still serve as protection and communication.
  
• If they were experiencing the heightened emotions from the mod announcement, this will no longer be the case.
  
• Those aligned to Aiada will not be affected and will remain aligned as normal.
  
• IMPORTANT: no one will feel any adverse effects from losing the alignment; they are now similar to the people of Verens who have no alignment themselves and cannot be swayed by the Sosyne.

If you have any questions regarding this portion of the event, please comment to this post.
