[Quest]- A fully moderated thread that will be directed and overseen by either Paragon or Goule. A starter for the thread will be provided. Once the allotted amount of players listed have posted to the thread, it will be closed to all other entries. If players see an event listed and would like to make their interest known, please send a PM to one of the city moderators here on the forums (not Discord).

[Prompt] - A written prompt will be provided for interested participants. Any and all who desire to participate in this event, please get with Paragon. A starter for the thread will be provided. A prompt is different from a moderated thread in that the premise of the scenario is provided, players are left to determine the outcome of their own volition. However, a moderator can step in to offer a creative nudge where appropriate.

[Open Prompt]- Players are welcome to begin the event themselves.

Ash 1: In Sickness and In Health
Weather: Warm temperatures. Light rain.
The sickness afflicting many of the impoverished areas of Zaichaer has finally spread to some of the more well-off areas in the West End. The sickness presents with flu-like symptoms that progressively worsens until it destroys lung tissue causing bloody coughing and pneumonia. Healthy individuals, those who are hale and hearty, are not as heavily affected by the disease. However, those who are predisposed to illness, the elderly, infants, and those living in impoverished conditions experience a disparate ravaging of the disease. [Open Prompt]

Ash 4: Heist and Hijinks
Weather: Cool temperatures. Heavy rain.
The Central Bank of Zaichaer has been robbed. It has left authorities baffled. The Guild of Coins, the governing authority for many of the worlds banking institutions, has been left dumbfounded. Their security measures were bypassed and one of the high end vaults has been successfully broken into. This has led them to believe it was an inside job. The bank is offering a reward for anyone who can recover what was stolen or who can deliver the culprits to justice. [Quest. 0/2. Contact Paragon for more guidance.]

Ash 7 - Drowned Onions
Weather: Cool temperatures. Heavy rain.
Sponsors of this event put an open container of water outside of their home or business. They drop in a bunch of onions with the onions' tunics removed. One of these onions should have its scallion intact and tied around a prize. Participants must bob for an onion using only their mouths, one attempt per sponsor. If you fail to get the prize, you must eat your onion whole, on the spot. If you find the prize, the sponsor eats the onion. Many people have been doing this for years, and the prizes have become a sort of collectable set. [Open Prompt]

Ash 13 - The Cider Dance
Weather: Cool temperatures. Heavy rain.
Cider producers tend to host this event in large, open areas around Zaichaer. They set up wide barrels filled with mushy, cider apples. Dancing partners are invited to roll up their pant legs and hike up their skirts and dance barefoot in the mush, together, as a performance for onlookers. If a dancing pair is able to fully crush the cider apples to the satisfaction of the cider maker, then typically that batch is named after them, or they are allowed to name it. [Open Prompt]

Ash 24 - Chili Fest
Weather: Warm temperatures. Clear skies.
Each neighborhood in Zaichaer holds their own Chili Fest, with chili cook offs, tastings, barbecues, and the like, largely centered around the recently harvested beans and beef. Massive potlucks are extremely common as well. [Open Prompt]

Ash 27: Infamous Sightings
Weather: Warm temperatures. Clear skies.
The Order of Reconciliation dispatches a contingent of Watchers and Minders to Kara’s Cull in the Knob. They follow reports of suspicious activity. The neighborhood is carefully infiltrated. [Open Prompt]

Ash 34: Retribution and Reconciliation
Weather: Cool temperatures. Clear skies.
Seven Watchers and five Minders are missing. The group sent into Kara’s Cull in the Knob has not returned and the neighborhood has gone eerily silent, with the streets largely empty. A lone figure is spotted in the area. Reconciliators are dispatched immediately. [Quest. 0/4. Reconciliators or soldiers only. Contact Paragon for more guidance.]

Ash 38 - The Flying Pumpkins
Weather: Cool temperatures. Clear skies.
Within the Knob, people purchase a pumpkin from one of the many vendors, and attempt to throw it the furthest off the cliffs of the Copper Cut. The Mortallen of the Old Mines have become the unofficial distance checkers of this event and take it very seriously. It is believed this is because they choose not to participate and are satisfied with the smugness knowing their kind would always win. Pigs are often brought into the neighborhood to eat the remains, but they must often compete with the Grackles. [Open Prompt]

Ash 45 - A Lover's Turnip
Weather: Cool temperatures. Clear skies.
On this day, it is considered good luck for someone with romantic inclinations to carve a turnip in the likeness of the person they are attracted to (or are currently in a relationship with) and hide it in a place that only the person will find it. If they find it, it means they are more likely to end with the person who carved it. If anyone else finds it first, then it means they should not come together for this year. [Open Prompt]

Ash 53: Mistbegotten Were’s
Weather: Cold temperatures. Fog.
The Dread Mists have come to Zaichaer and the surrounding areas. Citizens are advised to stay in their homes and to wait out the fog. While it is believed to be a low grade manifestation, authorities advise exiting the safety of the indoors at your own risk. But in the silence there comes a howl and any who step out into the fog know…there’s something in the Mist. [Open Prompt]

Ash 57 - Don't Hide the Carrot
Weather: Cold temperatures. Fog.
On this day, Zaichaeri are expected to work a carrot into their public attire somehow. Some do so without taste for fashion sense, but many try to do so in artistic and praiseworthy ways. Those who fail to wear a carrot are supposed to be called out and if proven true, then pinched. [Open Prompt]

Ash 60: Ghost Town
Weather: Cold temperatures. Fog.
Reports come in that the township of Weissberg has sent out a call for assistance. The Dread Mists still linger and obscure most activity. The military and the Order of Reconciliation call upon brave souls within their own ranks and among the populace to answer the call for aid. [Prompt]

Ash 69 - Kraut Fest
Weather: Cold temperatures. Fog.
On this day, Zaichaeri are expected to host open meals with neighbors, or block parties, in which many varieties of sauerkraut, boiled cabbage, potatoes, and sausages are made available. Wealthy families may sponsor an event on their own, but often groups of middle class or lower class families will host them. Many of these individual events compete to make the largest pot of warm sauerkraut, spreading the smell for miles. [Open Prompt]

Ash 72: The Obelisk Tolls
Weather: Cold temperatures. Fog.
On the 72nd of Ash, alongside the appearance of the Wraithplague in Kalzasi, a loud ringing bell was heard across the entirety of Karnor, equally loud regardless of where the listener might be located. On the 73rd of Ash, reports from spies in Zeraphesh came into Zaichaer that the Obelisk that had long been inert now appeared to be Pitch Black in color. [Quest, Contact Aegis]

Ash 82 - Final Slaughter
Weather: Cold temperatures. Clear skies.
On this day, many of the Zaichaeri livestock farmers harvest the final, readied animals of their herds before preparing for winter. Typically these beasts are auctioned off at higher prices than normal, as a way to help support local farmers and get them through the winter days. [Open Prompt]

Ash 85: Cobblepot’s Curiosities
Weather: Cold temperatures. Clear skies.
Cecil Voger is looking for assistance with a very interesting dilemma. He has put out a bounty for anyone with skills to get rid of “vermin” to give him a helping hand. [Prompt]

Ash 91: Season’s End
Weather: Cold temperatures. Cloudy skies.
The Ash season comes to a close, bringing with it the chill of winter. Frost has begun to cling to buildings and hearth fires are being lit to keep the populace warm. The year is drawing to a close and with it, a great deal of turmoil that has beset the City of Brass.

Ash 91 - The Swap
Weather: Cold temperatures. Cloudy skies.
On this day, huge market-esque stalls pop up all around Zaichaer, typically in the middle to lower class areas. But these stalls sell no goods, but rather offer an exchange. They have collections of jarred produce from the entire year, ranging from pickled vegetables, jams and marmalades and preserves, sauces, etc. It is societally agreed upon that these must've been produced within the year. People swap these goods from their collections, so as to have a more diverse stock of food for winter available to them. [Open Prompt]
