IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: PLEASE READ!!

The Voice


Many of you know this, but in case you don't, Myleena Vos, the The Voice, recently ascended to full divinity, taking on the mantle of Ssena, goddess of fear. This occurred in the thread Fire Dreams which also tipped off the Massive Djed Storm of 512.

Now for the important part.. YOUR PC DON'T KNOW THIS! Nobody does. They cannot know it without a special lore, which only a storyteller can give you. Even most of the NPCs in Mizahar don't know this, and only the players involved in the thread itself know anything about it. If they choose to tell your PC that's their business, and you'll get your lore, but until somebody does tell you, your PC doesn't know anything about her.

Now, as far as NPCs go. In Ravok only a handful of people know what happened. These are the druvin, and maybe, maybe, a couple of other high ranking members of the Black Sun and Ebonstryfe. But they aren't talking. None of the lower ranking members know, and none of the citizens outside the organization know. Rhysol wants it kept a secret. The Voice is on business outside the city, as far as anyone knows, and will be back later.

So, please do not try to apply for Krivas and please do not try to start with a lore involving Ssena. Your PC cannot know they exist at this point in time.

Now.. there has been another issue: People wanting to become the new Voice. Again, you don't know the Voice has ascended, so you cannot have aspirations to become the new Voice. If you do want your PC to take her place, that is fine, but your PC doesn't know that that is what they want. They don't know that the slot is open. And they won’t know without a lot of effort.

How does a PC become the Voice? Well, there is no set route, per se, but to do so you would have to win the love of Rhysol. How does one do this? Well.. first you need to get into the Black Sun, or maybe the Ebonstryfe. You need to work your way up through the ranks, eventually become a Druvin, and get Rhysol to personally notice who you are. Then you have to make him like you more than all his other followers, to the point that he decides to make you his lover, and the leader of his followers. This is an endeavor that should take years. For PCs we usually do things quicker than that, but even so, it will probably still take a year or two, maybe even three, before anyone could forge such an IC relationship with Rhysol.

Now.. I realize that other cities, specifically Syliras, might take this a little differently. With Glav rising up and becoming the new Sylir, he might choose to tell the knights about Ssena. And maybe some of the Zith might get approached by her. But this is all just observation, I don't know any of this for sure. By and large, there is no way to know about Ssena other than through roleplay, and being awarded a lore by a storyteller. So please, don't try to start with Ssena's gnosis, and don't try to start knowing anything about her, because you can't. Let things happen naturally.

Anyway, that is all for now. If you have questions, feel free to ask them here and I'll do my best to answer.
