Event: Tierra de Olvidos (Plotting)

On the May 6th, residents of the Meadous will wake to a note from Zephyr at their bedside. It's much shorter than it usually would be from the godling, and it's also much more direct. Those who remember The Void will find this note very familiar.

Everyone,

I hear another voice across the planes. She's calling... she's calling out for help. We need to help her. We've done this before. We can help her!

We will help her! I know we can help her just like we did the sisters!

Please meet me at the playrground tomorrow at 3:00pm! I know that's really early for some of you guys who are nocturnal, but this can't wait very long. We're gonna help as soon as we can!

Love,
Zephyr





TIERRA DE OLVIDOS

The Events Calendar post for the plot is HERE

Welcome to our second foray into world-hopping! With the combined efforts of those who have spoke to Zephyr and their godling friends, Zephyr has finally decided to try searching for a cure to whatever ails the gods. This will entail connecting the Meadous to other random realms they find out in the ether. These are not necessarily (or even probably) realms created by gods like Zephyr, they're just whatever Zephyr can grab hold of.

In this instance, the realm is one that Zephyr heard a voice calling out for help from. The morning of May 7th, the archway by the playground has been activated once again.

Zephyr will turn up at the appointed time and explain the following:
  • The archway is a portal to another world.
  • The only access to the proper archway is through the Mirror Dimension. (Zephyr doesn't want anyone accidentally stumbling in there.)
  • The archway is a two-way connection to another realm. They DO NOT have control over that other realm. The only thing they can make sure of there is that there are no other connections. Characters can go to the new realm from the Meadous and come back to the Meadous from the new realm.
  • THIS MEANS THAT INJURY AND DEATH IN THE OTHER REALM IS OUTSIDE THEIR DIRECT CONTROL.
  • They're not sure who was calling for help, but it sounded like a woman. Zephyr couldn't make out words, they just know she was distressed.
As for the new realm...

Welcome to Recuerdo

Recuerdo is loosely based on a mixture colorful movie The Book of Life with a dash of Pixar's Coco. Recuerdo is a land of death, celebration, remembrance and rebirth! This land is the central hub of death for several other realms nearby. Those remembered fondly, remembered deeply come to this realm once their spirit leaves their bodies.

The primary goal given is to find out how and why residents of this lands shadows are disappearing. Is an illness spreading? Are residents pasts coming to haunt them? The Lady in Red encourages characters to explore her realm and discover what she herself cannot see.

Shadows are important for maintaining ones form in this realm, so shadows suddenly disappearing is a very dangerous thing. When their shadow is gone, the residents start to subsist from memories alone. The longer this goes on, the more memories they lose in the process. The Lady In Red has to stay put to ensure her affected subjects do not wither away mentally and physically.

The main inhabitants of the landscape vary wildly, from living candle people, capybaras and reanimated skeletons. NPC interaction will definitely be prominent to find out clues. Lady in Red has a few clues to give characters who ask and will try to lead them in the right direction. Better yet, ask the local Welcoming committee for aid. They have a good idea of who and what is going on. Local gossip is always a good place to start! Characters gathering clues, sharing knowledge and questioning the locals is the best way to get things going. Lady in Red has designated specific areas for character's to start searching for anything suspicious.

A mod will also be privately PM'ing people in more active threads to lead them to specific clues regarding the vanished shadows.


tl;dr version

-Tierra De Recuerdo is a death realm connected to four living realms. Those who die in any of those realms find themselves enjoying a comfortable after life in Recuerdo. The realm is never ending, always expanding as more lives end in the four realms it is directly connected to.
-Shadows are disappearing from residents, leaving them ill and on the verge of breaking apart. Characters need to find out the source of this issue.
-Without your help the Lady in Red will have to let some of her residents fade away into nothing to save more since the problem is growing wildly out of control at this point.
