The curtain rises once more, and the tale begins anew. Across a frozen waste, mountains looming on the distant horizon, the heroes must now travel into the very heart of the lands of those who stand as their enemies. Be it for vengeance, justice, or to save those they love, they come...
But in this place, where outsiders do not come, hearts freeze, and fear drifts upon the very winds...
ACT II: Cold Winds Blow
Scene I: Breaking the Ice
a) Grave Concern (Monday, June 13th, 2016, 8 pm CST)
[Possible social, likely combat]
Dederu Deru, ambitious scion of Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern, has decided to boldly go where no lalafell had gone before; unto Xelphatol, north of the Shroud, bringing with her a mixed force of Iron Torches supplemented by Brass Blades of the Order of the Aster. Recently, a desperate call for help has trickled into official channels: most of their force lies dead, their aetheryte disabled, paths to escape cut off. The Concern has turned to Adventurers in their time of need...
"Attacks in the dark, and anyone who tries to repair the aetheryte is targeted and killed. They are besieged; go well-armed, and expect the worst."

b) Into the Dark (Wednesday, June 15th, 2016, 8 pm CST)
[Social, combat?]
U'jakata Tia, Thaumaturge Most Puissant, has not given up on finding the Wyrmtear; if anything, losing a hand has made him more determined. With the blessing of Flame Captain Maximillian Maximus, he intends to visit Halatali, where the eight tribal warriors who were captured were interred. He wants to know more about the Falling Stars, and their lands and ruler, before following the trail. Interested Adventurers are welcome to join him, as an impromptu escort...
"Anger, yes, and retribution, Minna. I will stare them in the eyes, these killers, yes, and they will speak, or they will scream! Well. Better they speak, my ears, they do so flinch, and more nightmares I do not need..."

c) Following the Light (Saturday, June 18th, 2016, 8 pm CST or earlier)
[Exploration, maybe combat]
Frances Lorieux, scion of the prestigious Lorieux family, accompanied by Rienne of the Wood Wailers, heads north. Holding the leash of the voidtouched golden firedrake Sparkle, who can lead them toward the Wyrmtear and thus toward X'zarann Silverfall Nunh... and thus to Garri, Frances' captive friend (and bearer of the Echo)... she is not to be deterred from her quest, and yet remains far from stupid. The lands of the Falling Stars will be rife with peril, and she would have an escort at the very least...
"Stubborn girl. All these lives risked for a starveling street rat from Ul'dah. Though she is bold, I will admit, and clever... still, I fear what may have already happened to her in the hands of those monsters."

d) Render Unto Him (Saturday, June 11th, 2016, 5 pm CST or earlier)
[Invite-only, social, combat, Fallen]
A brave young mother and Adventurer, compelled by her own faith in others and a need to seek the peaceful way, has accepted an offer to be escorted unto the Nunh of the Falling Stars. Darkness surrounds the path, and perhaps only those who see differently might also walk it...
"What is this, that my dagger brings to me? A flower, blooming in the night. A pretty thing. Will it flourish or wither, I wonder, in the cold..."

3. Arblis Ellhis
[SPECIAL NOTE: Unlimited signups. This Event can only be entered by those who are interested in walking on the other side, with the Falling Stars, at least for a time; future events involving those who join at this or future times will have restricted access.
