SEPTEMBER OOC UPDATE POST.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Last Eden. We're excited to roll out our new plot arc for the month! You can find details of it below. As this is our first month as an open game, there will not be intensive events to allow characters to ease in.

TIMELINE.
New characters will ICly arrive on September 1st.

A plot event will occur on September 15th. Something will be falling from the sky. There will be a log.

Activity Check will tentatively be from September 24th to 30th.

ARRIVALS.
For our new characters, they will appear inside the Sanctum hall while asleep. The Sanctum staff will freeze them in said sleep until they can be sure that no more people will be popping in. The enchantment will then be released for every character at the same time, and they will have time to get themselves oriented before venturing out into the Moon.

With regards to IC faction choice, your character can either be picked by their faction representative, or volunteer themselves to said representative. This can be threaded out by commenting to the NPC toplevel in the monthly mingle. You can also handwave it if you wish.

Returning characters will be invited back to the Sanctum for a meeting, and all characters will be able to listen to it. Lucius will have an announcement to make regarding his progress on trying to send them back home.

SETTING INTERACTION.
As each character's actions in the setting will have a definite impact on the plot, there is a system in which you can 'turn in' descriptions of what they will be doing and receive a mod reply on the outcome. You can then choose to whether thread out the activity - encouraged, but not compulsory. Turning in these will allow mods to be updated on the effect that characters have on the setting. Feel free to turn in multiple interactions, there is no limit.

FACTION NEWS.

The knowledge of foreigners amongst the moon is already common amongst the government and ruling classes; however much of the native population still remains ignorant of the PCs' presence. Thus characters can pass themselves off as natives if they are careful enough. Being special can net you special treatment... for the better, or for the worse.

LIGHT.
The Light schoolchildren have gone back to school, which means you'll see lots more of interns and students running around the Tesseract.

What's more relevant to the PCs though will be Lucius' research on returning them home. As described in his opening announcement, he is an artificial intelligence and thus needs more computing power to be able to advance his solution. The Light faction will specifically be issuing exploration tasks as well as other errands that they need doing around their faction grounds. Please submit a setting interaction if you wish your character to take this path.

BLOOD.
Being the faction with the most active citizens, news has spread of a monster attack against the Blood faction's city walls. Eyewitnesses comment that the large behemoth rammed itself against the walls before completely dissipating into nothingness. Surely the monster had been there, as the gouge marks on the walls are proof - but where did it go? Where did it come from?

Really, all these are interesting questions. Snooping around the temples might give information.

SPRING.
It's time for the autumn growing season. The weather inside the Moon doesn't vary much, but the people adhere to their traditional planting periods out of respect for the old ways. Hopefully this term's harvest will be good.

The Empress is making her rounds across her territory again. She will not be within the imperial palace and can be met on the road, if you're lucky. Feel free to submit a setting interaction if your character seeks her out.

ICE.
The Ice faction is so small that there isn't anything notable happening across the board. Mostly, the members are continuing their duties as dragon keepers and delivery workers. For the PCs, they will be introduced to their dragons within two to three days. Then, they are free to do what they wish after that.

The Wintersmith will be evaluating faction characters' performance at the end of this month, ICly during the AC period. They will need to report to him what they have done, and he will evaluate their bond with their partners.

BOUNTIES.
The Bounty Board has been updated with September bounties! Taking up these bounties will give your characters not only money but also influence with the people they have helped.

Setting Interactions are open as always. If you would like a particular quest or thread to nudge your folks towards character development, feel free to let us know anytime and we'll arrange something for you.

ADMIN.

Once again, thank you for joining Last Eden! If you have any feedback or suggestions for us, please do field it. The mods can be reached either on the mod contact post, or via PM/The head mod's plurk.

Lastly, a gentle reminder to fill in the directory for your character, if you haven't done so yet.
