Character Registry for Searing 124 ~ Ash 124
Due to the fact that the site is now on a two-season schedule I will be adjusting the Registry at that same rate, adding new prompts and quests as the seasons change and retiring old ones on a rotating basis.
Welcome to Zaichaer!
After the events of Searing and Ash 123 the nation has begun to rebuild itself. The Capitol city, while nowhere near fully rebuilt, has at least several large sections that are safe enough to call its inhabitants back home. The new government is formed and functioning spreading it's sway over the entire region that is now Zaichaer. The Triumvirate, as the new government is being called, has risen, formed of the leadership of the Civilian First Minister, the Military High Marshal and the Order leader the High Sentinel.
The Covens are regathering their members and the State is calling for human immigrants from anywhere in the world who wish to declare loyalty to Zaichaer. Where once there was a great rush to flee the shattered nation, The Great Return has begun.
Major Events
Immigration Initiative:
Zaichaer, now that it is able to support a population again, is calling for any humans willing and able to immigrate to the recovering nation with the understanding that they will be given everything they require to start a new life so long as they are willing to become citizens, swearing their loyalty to the State.
Calling all Workers:
The city is undergoing significant repairs throughout. Each section of the city, with the exception of The Presidium, have been cleared of bodies and rubble and are now ready for the rebuild efforts to really begin.
The Border Forts are coming to life in the far north and the forest Fort Reichart is being constructed in the East. The city and its surrounds need every type of worker, as many able bodied people as they can get. Those willing to offer aid may find themselves granted significant rewards. Any citizen, or those wishing to become citizens, is able to apply to the new government for aid in setting themselves up with a shop or work place. Homes, as well, are being passed out on the basis of need and it is possible for anyone to significantly raise their prospects by proving themselves useful and willing at this time.
Wild Magic:
The Mists that swept over the majority of Zaichaer, city and countryside alike, wild and unknown magic effects now run rampant throughout the territory. Plants, animals, even buildings have become twisted in every way imaginable. Some of the changes are simple, harmless, or at least easily dealt with, others hold varying degrees of dangers and others still are so strange as to defy all attempts to categorization them. Anything, anyone, you meet could be changed for better, or worse. All citizens and visitors have a chance of encountering wild magic. Players may write these encounters on their own or request a moderated thread at their discretion.
Searing Specific:
Day of Mourning, Day of Triumph:
The 34th is Searing will always be remembered as the day that Zaichaer fell. No earthly power could take down the Brass City and her people, it the power of gods and aetheric horror together to bring her to her knees. Two years later this day is being remember as one of mourning and remembrance, of what and who was lost.
The 35th of Searing has been declared a day of celebration of the indefatigable spirit of Zaichaer, and the indomitable people who caused her to rise again, stronger and more unified than ever.
The whole nation is being granted these two days off and there will be government sponsored memorials and celebrations in the capitol and all the forts, those completed and those still under construction. All citizens are welcome.
Foreign Relations:
As the region begins to recognize that Zaichaer, once again, has a legitimate government, envoys are being sent from a variety of other city-states and nations to see if it would be useful or wise of them to reestablish relations with what was once the greatest city in the North. Players could choose to be these envoys or they might tag along if they are from foreign lands. Equally, if the player is, or represents a merchant or trading group they might be granted entry to so that trade may begin to flow through Zaichair once more.
Ash Specific:
Warrens Excursions:
Now that stability has returned to the lands above ground a concerted effort is being sponsored by the Government to explore, map and analyze the new openings into the Warrens. Any who wish to take on such a mission can be assigned an area and given provisions and supplies. It is common knowledge that, while deadly dangers lay within the dark places deep under the earth, treasures unknown also await those bold enough, strong enough and smart enough to find them. A small rush of those willing to risk much to gain much are seeking their fortunes below. Unlike with most openings to the Warrents close to, or within, a major city, these openings are new; untouched by treasure hunters and scientists alike, ripe for the plucking for those willing to take the chance.
Undead Nests:
Known only to the few who have been unlucky enough to encounter them and a select few within the Government (and possibly some of the Covens) a new breed of undead creates was created during the events of the Miststorms that followed the opening of the Rift. These creatures are sort of hybrids between undead and symbiotic creatures who have strange effects on aether of all kings. There are reported to be small nests of them holed up in both wild places and in the city where people rarely go.
Minor Events
The Lysanrin Initiative:
The Order has begun an initiative to make sure of the Lysanrin innate ability to absorb aether in their efforts to curb and control the wild magics (and magicians) that have sprung up all over Zaichaer since the Mist Storm dissipated. Any Lysanrin who wishes to come to Zaichaer, become a citizen and be trained as an assistant member of the Order will be given Honorary Human status with all the rights and privileges granted to human citizens. While all other nations may look upon down on the race with suspicion, in Zaichaer, they have a chance to live a life free of prejudice.
Exploring the Ruins:
Only the Presidium remains filled with rubble and ruin. This area was the closest to the Rift, not to mention having already been filled with deadly aetheric and mundane creations and protections. Reclaiming this once most hallowed of Zaichaeri spaces will require delicate and studious investigation. Any wishing to enter this area will first have to seek permission from the government unless they have methods by which to bypass the stopping power of both the Military and the Order, but if specific information from the old Government or Order is sought, it might only be found within.
