A Story Aspect has been updated!

 

/The Growing Legend of the Nunh/ - The story of a legendary Nunh is growing.. a savage hero, master of man and beast, powerful and alluring and clever. They say the Golden Horde in Ul'dah venerates him, as do a number of small cults appearing, especially in Ul'dah, but also in the other City-States. More tangible than the Warrior of Light to many, it's said that those who believe in and celebrate the Nunh of the Falling Stars receive boons in the form of protection, or the downfall of their enemies...

A new act has appeared!

 

Testing the Aethervore  (Monday, February 12th, 2018, 7 pm CST)

 

 

Akiko, assassin and former friend and foe of the Falling Stars, has turned up again with a surprising revelation. Myarf, the aethervore recovered from the Burning Wall, is alive and well, and has been in her care. In the hopes of counteracting the Nuhn, she seeks adventurers to accompany her in testing the creature's aether draining abilities... On voidsent.

 

 

"With the coming confrontation, One... I believe we require every last advantage that we can acquire. A mage one was tracking has left some nasty presents, providing the perfect opportunity to test this secret weapon."

Rumors and Story Aspects

  • /Falling Stars, Rising in the West/ - A tribe of miqo'te from the arctic seems to have not only found their way to La Noscea, but engaged in some form of protracted tribal warfare with the kobolds in and around the U'ghamoro Mines. Working in concert with a growing faction of arcanists, numerous crippling blows have been dealt to the beastman tribe, to general acclaim by all the good (non-beastmen) folks of La Noscea. - A tribe of miqo'te from the arctic seems to have not only found their way to La Noscea, but engaged in some form of protracted tribal warfare with the kobolds in and around the U'ghamoro Mines.

The Avenger and the Tactician, The Lover and The Forerunner, The Beast and The Destroyer and The Cold One. Like the Warrior of Light, no fixed names accompany these monikers.. and in a world where all you need for power is faith and aether, who knows what could happen to those who claim mantles already extant..?

     


a) I Don't Spar (Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 7 pm CST)

Anstarra Silverain has an alter-ego, called Skybreaker. Initially created just so she could have a little peace of mind on one side while taking part in deadly and (to her dismay) sometimes-heroic endeavours as her "true" profession, this persona went into hiding for over a year when Anstarra's spear was taken by her brother.

In the meantime, the "legend" of the Forerunner, a conceit invented by X'zarann to justify chasing after his sister out into the Outside world, was spread among the Falling Stars. Supposedly a Warrior of skill only surpassed by the Nunh's own, the Forerunner left in order to scout out the world that the Falling Stars were destined to rule.

Anstarra, X'anista Ares, the Forerunner, since recovered her spear and has reassumed her dual identity.. only to find that the distinction between herself and this other person she sometimes becomes is a more tangible thing. Has she been affected, as the Nunh has, by assumed power and worship? Has what started as a convenient persona become a true second personality? Is she truly the Forerunner now.. or, as is often the case, is the truth more nuanced and uncertain?

 

Regardless, she's offering to, in her words, kick the shit out of you all, because if you can't fight her, you sure can't fight him.

 

"I don't spar; words I've repeated for years. Recently, I started kinda cheating; fighting one-handed, when I use my spear. She wouldn't do that.. she doesn't play with her prey."

b) Breaking the Sky (Friday, February 23rd 2018, 9 pm CST)

A second sparring time!

"The girl I was.. afraid. I always had to be the best, but that made things worse. A prodigy, they called me, as though to get me killed; jealousy, constant trials, enmity that I didn't want. Admiring someone flags you as weak, so obviously no one did that to me, openly. Instead, some tried to kill me. On and off, from my youngest memories, until I ran away when I was twelve."

1. Zaphir Zurlac
2. Virara Wakuwa
3. Akiko Nomura and X'bree Ares
4. 

 

c) This Might Hurt (Saturday, February 24, 2018, 6 pm CST)

A third sparring time!

"I've hid from all that, for a long time. But now, my friends are strong. I trust you all.. I need to, to bring you to fight my brother. And so, I'm not gonna hold back. I'll be her again, that killer, that prodigy, that.. stupid, semi-deified icon of the Falling Stars. A vicious, cold-eyed and terrified girl called X'anista who grew into an equally vicious bitch called Skybreaker. Let's do this."

d) Everyone Loves Violence? (Sunday, February 25, 2018, 5 pm CST)

A fourth sparring time!

"Just don't cry if you get hurt. Also, really, feel free to beat up on each other, too. X'zarann's not your only enemy after all.. and not everyone just fights with spears."

To the sky! To the cold! To the ends of life itself! Heroes and villains alike rush toward the climax, and even the Gods know not who will remain standing in the end.. and who shall fall, spent and extinguished, into the dust of history..!

a) Reptoids of Azys Lla (Saturday, April 14th, 2018, 7 pm EST) TENTATIVE

 

High in the sky, in mysterious Azys Lla, conflict is eternal. The Biomass Incubation Complexes of the Allagans continue to produce fresh chimerae, corpses recycled and fed into the machines along with ever-present lightning aether in order to constantly refresh the ranks of the monsters forced to live there, long after their masters vanished. The Reptoids, abominable fusions of peiste and amalj'aa (as best anyone can tell) are one such breed.. and the biggest, most abominable of all is Lycidas, frequent target of the hunts of Clan Centurio. Could any form of understanding ever be reached with such an unfathomable, alien creature?

 

Well, he IS offering to help kill Garleans.

 

"Yes, that's quite right! The conveyances you requested per our agreement, why, they are in the hands of those fellows with the embarrassingly outdated machina! At first I thought, haha, surely this is some form of, of pageantry, all fluff and bustle, why those models of so-called 'combat units' were outdated when I was first spawned! Imagine my consternation when they turned fire upon us. Frightful mess, the shouting and confusion and unreasonable amounts of blood. And so I thought to myself, dear me, this must be the NEW sport, and why, it would be terribly uncouth of me not to extend an invitation! Join us for a little scuffle, would you? You can secure those flight engines you needed to reach your antenna array, and we can secure some new biomass. A jolly good time, and I dare say everyone comes home a winner!" - Lycidas

b) To Steal the Moon (Friday, March 16th 2018, 10 pm EST)

 

Please note that Turn use versus this Event might be restricted

 

Most Outsiders have never met X'zenn Tia, Warlord of the Glade. Most Outsiders have never even heard of the Glade, even if they are involved in the ongoing conflict with the Falling Stars sept. Even most members of the tribe have no real frame of reference for the hidden emplacement of the sole attuneable aetheryte in all of the Falling Stars lands. Conversely, many of the tribals situated at the Glade don't meet very many Outsiders at all.

 

X'zenn met an Outsider, who left an impression on him. To the point that he's gone looking for her, when he should be doing other things for the Nunh. In so doing, it's possible that he might be opening a path into the heart of the north...

 

"She's not supposed to be here..! The Nunh will be upset. Take this aetheryte, those on guard are in agreement! Make him let her go, before the Nunh comes back!" - X'ihari Ares

c) Attack On Crucible: Part III - Defense On Crucible (Saturday, March 24, 2018, 7 pm EST)

 

The Crucible has been taken, the defenders without slaughtered, those within.. indifferent. A source of power for those who dare to use it, and a symbol for the Falling Stars... representing both a time of enslavement, and the birth of their strange bloodline. The once-attackers now find themselves on the defense, seeking to hold this place against those who might try to take it back. Training, fortifications, lessons pertaining to the threat posed by the savage tribals... the Ishgardian soldiers in place are at the peak of their readiness. And now, they will be tested.

 

"It's X'ogun. It has to be. X'zarann was never interested in leading armies, and now he's doing Twelve-knows-what, and in the meantime... I went and looked in O'Ghomoro, but there's no sign of him, nor any Falling Stars. I still don't know if X'ogun is truly loyal to X'zarann. If he is, recapturing the Crucible will ensure his favor. If he's not.. then it could prove his first step toward a coup. Worth it? I don't know. But be ready for anything!" - Anstarra Silverain

d) A Trail of Tears (Saturday, April 7, 2018, 7 pm EST)

 

In the midst of all the chaos, violence and mayhem, it's easy to forget how it all began. A massacre, a murder, and a theft. Of these, the most innocuous - the theft of the last remaining Wyrmtear, token of the sorrow of the Dravanian Horde, by the Fallen X'kirra Ares - has borne the most fruit. It was the ritual creation of a talisman devoted to tracking the relic that led adventurers to call upon the Flames in a combined effort leading back to Rock Falls, and the beginnings of a war. 

 

Now the talisman's creator, U'jakata, Thaumaturge Most Puissant, has decided to finish what he started. A ritual of tremendous power that just might lead right to the Wyrmtear.. through the very Void.

 

"Languished inattentions, languishing in attentions, distractions! Diversions most formidable! Conflicts confluent upon my concentration, crafted by clever, cunning and calamitously luxurious affections from a female most fatale. How could I ever suspect, Minna! The degree to which my sweet and doting  X'erin, my passionate and sharp-clawed and most terrifying beloved of ribboned hair and bloody lips could devour my days and nights and possibly my soul - make a note, this may prove benificial in short order - and aaah the bruises, the lacerations, Minna! Such sweet agony. Who can keep up with these absurd Falling Stars? I fear and respect their Nunh, to provide satisfaction to the insatiable - or perhaps he does not, which would explain the violent and all-consuming affections bestowed upon me to degrees potentially fatal to lesser males but NOT, I say, to U'jakata, Thaumaturge Most Puissant! Who is and shall finally be recognized for his genius, yes, my genius, when the long object of my search - the other one, not unending and exquisitely painful physical pleasures but RATHER THE WYRMTEAR YES! It shall be mine! Through a path through dreams and Void itself we shall carve, unto the Nunh's very doorstep, footstool, pillow, wherever he might lurk so there to pluck and retrieve the long-sought-after source of chaos and perfidy and sorrow and this blasted firedrake continually EATING MY PILLOWS!

 

We will need lackeys. Post a leve, please.

 

What do you mean, do it yourself? Insolent cat! Why do I even keeaaaaAAH CLAWS MINNA!" - U'jakata Tia, Thaumaturge Most Puissant
