IC Info [Lhavit] Seasonal Calendar Fall 513

[Elysium]

Fall, 513 After a long and temperate summer, trees finally begin their seasonal shift to dazzling hues of red, lavender, ocher and wintergreen. The beauty of nature is manifold, most especially as the land yields its annual harvest. Most are relaxed to settle into the colder climate, yet nature seems to have other plans. Mid-season, those earthquakes plaguing Mt. Skyinarta finally reach the city. Catastrophic damage is caused to the outlying peaks, most especially the Sharai, causing citizens to panic. With their primary source of food at stake, riots plague the streets. The Shinya hold steadfast and maintain order while through the combined efforts of the Towers, much of the harvest is saved. The Dawn Tower spends the rest of Fall rebuilding Tenten Peak while the Dusk and Twilight Towers work hard to uncover the source of the quake. The Constellation on the other hand, do their best to start reassembling the Sharai. Meanwhile, a mysterious cave is uncovered in the Misty Peaks... 1st - The first day of Fall! Lhavit's annual restaurant crawl is held in honor of the upcoming harvest. 3rd - Repairs to the Ethereal Opera House are finally complete. Lili announces the upcoming season. 8th - A troupe of magical performance artists arrive from Zeltiva and look into creating a new dance club and bar for the city. 11th - Small, preliminary quakes rattle through the city. This sets many at unease. 16th - Alluvion Academy hosts a book club at the Basilika, which turns out to be a huge success. This generates new interest in the city's libraries. 18th - The Heads of the Towers confer for the first time in 513, hosted by the Twuele. All esteemed members are in attendance. 22nd - The Moon Festival is held. Aysel becomes openly intoxicated, much to the amusement of all. 28th - Rumors spread that the proprietor of the Opera House has become a Stormwarden. 35th - Certain trails through the Misty Peaks are sealed by Shinya in an effort to protect travelers. 38th - People whisper of a Dhani Priestess being seen on the steps of the Twuele. This is largely considered a bad omen. 45th - Piramba's Pets holds a half-off sale! Many are gifted with loving companions. 50th - Trade from Wind Reach does not arrive on schedule. The government sees this as cause for concern. 51st - The true quake roils through the peaks, shattering most of the skyglass hothouses. Quick thinking from members of the Towers send a team of both Mages and Shinya scrambling to the Sharai. Through the combined efforts of their magical disciplines, they are able to save a great deal of the season's harvest. 52nd - The day to follow is complete pandemonium. People riot and pillage through the Azure Market, while those living in the Solar Winds must fight against the tide of panic and desperation. Those of the Towers Respite and other residential areas are called to shield their dwellings and remain inside. 54th - After three solid days, order is finally maintained. Many are put to trial in the wake of the events. Casualties are high. Many who survive come out with scars, both physical and psychological. 55th - A mass funeral is held with pyres at the Tranquil Port. Single rafts are used to set burning bodies to sea. The lake is aflame with those who'd been lost, like little lights upon the web. 60th - The Towers hold an emergency conference, with an altogether different tone than before. The Dusk Tower hosts this affair. 62nd - Catholicon healers finally are dismissed from their Tower after more than ten days of nothing but work and sleep. Many get inebriated, the rest pass out. 70th - Zintila speaks to the people in an effort to assuage their sorrow.

Agents from every branch of the government work together to this end. 80th - The expedition returns. 86th - Many are finally able to return to their homes as repairs are complete. 91st - The last day of Fall is met with a sigh of relief. Seasonal Thread Goals The Fall Season lasts through September, October and November of real time. For each real month there are four different goals, twelve goals total. Completing all twelve rewards a medal, while completing the thread goals for all four SEASONS awards an even cooler medal! These thread goals may be combined into the same thread or may be done in twelve separate threads, but all twelve goals must be present in order to receive credit. Threads do not need to be completed in the month they are posted in - they simply need to be finished to count. Now the fun part! Thread Goals were created to help give you a nudge should your inspiration be lacking. They can inspire a PC to do something they normally wouldn't, have them meet new and exciting people or even explore things that you as the writer might not even be aware of yet! These are supposed to be fun and creative. Just keep in mind the prompts listed below are just that: prompts. They can be applied anyway you choose. If a goal is to get your PC into a fight, but alas! Your PC doesn't fight? Perhaps they get into a fight with themselves over something they think they did wrong, or regretted not doing. It's really up to you how creative you get with it! September 1. Speak with an old friend. 2. Explore the Misty Peaks! 3. Interact with a Shinya. 4. Nurse a hangover. October 1. Visit the Catholicon. 2. Eat at a restaurant or bar. 3. Go skinny-dipping! 4. Save a life. November 1. Break something. 2. Take a walk. 3. Learn a combat skill. 4. Visit a temple.
