[Anstarra]

A ballad of stars falling to earth. Of a people isolated, pure and unchanging.. descending in fire and blood.. and most importantly, in a tidal wave of change. Change, wrought upon others, wrought upon themselves. Once perfect. Perfect so long as nothing touched them, as long as nothing could interact, nothing could judge and corrupt and tempt and bewilder.. but perfection is always within the beholder's eye alone, and so, as the end approaches, cast your gaze upon these fallen stars, and add your own refrain to this final verse...

Rumors and Story Aspects

• /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...

• /Rival Legend: A New Pantheon/ - In an age of heroes and villains, new stories spread like wildfire; everyone likes a good legend, and the more colorful the better. Rivaling the growing popularity of "The Nunh", or perhaps melding with it, is a tale of a number of heroes - legends - with titles every bit as iconic. 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) Power to the People (Friday, June 22nd, 2018, 8 pm EST)

 

The Bright Ones have decided to go home. But what home yet awaits them.. and will their newfound courage and sense of identity be enough to face it? The future of the Falling Stars as a people may well be decided in the days to come...

 

"Fighting the Nunh was our only desire, to prove ourselves free of him. But now, with so many other new Bright Ones joining us, and the tales they bring.. of the corruption of the Home Sept, of huntresses by the score now Blessed, of so many sent to their deaths in the nightmare island in the sky.. of the vulnerability of our people.. we cannot ignore it any longer. We will return to the Home Sept, and we will protect it. Not for the Nunh, but for the future of our blood. For peace." - Vann of the Leaf

b) Power to the Gods (Saturday, July 14th 2018, 7 pm EST)

 

A onetime Warlord, and now self-appointed High Priest of the Pantheon of Stars, is leading his followers on a holy crusade. His goal? To convert the 'heretic' Cult of the Nunh that has strongly infested the slums of Ul'dah. The result of this meeting will determine where true divine power lies... in the /Growing Legend of the Nunh/, or in the /Rival Legend: A New Pantheon/.

 

"The Inquisitors of the spear-goddess Halone are wise in their ways. Heresy is the word, we now know. For belief which cannot stand, which hurts what is most important. For there is no longer just the Nunh... indeed, there never was! Yes, He is, but also are the Lover! The Forerunner! Death's Avenger, yes! The Tactician and the Destroyer, the Beast and the Cold One! Outsiders may have their Twelve, but our Eight are greater, for they live and walk among us, and can never perish, for though all Stars are meant to fall, when the night comes again so shall they!" - X'zenn, the Herald of the Eight

c) The Children of the Crucible (Friday, July 20th, 2018, 9:00 pm EST)

 

The Fallen are coming, one and all, to reclaim the Crucible in the name of the Nunh. The rubble has only just been cleared away, and the twisted Unfallen within remain.. will they intervene, will they step aside... or will they stand with those whom they might, if not for a twist of aether and destiny, have become?

 

"No! My work cannot be interrupted! These monsters, my children speak of them in hushed tones of fear and awe. X'ogun, X'zam, X'addo, X'kirra, X'vurr, X'red... creatures changed, but not cursed with this addiction, the need for the life-sustaining essence of the Crucible. My children are their match! They could surpass them.. but first, they need to be set free!" - Inquisitor Alloix of the Sacred Banner

d) Starlight, Star Bright (Saturday, June 30th, 2018, 7 pm EST)

 

The twisting and awesome power of the Void cannot be underestimated. A child birthed in the blood of massacre, the reflected darkest light of the Falling Stars, grown to adulthood  while supping upon sin and treachery, incarnating the terrible best and glorious worst of a people already steeped in savagery and fear. It is said that she inhabits the body of the Nunh himself, and can possess it on a whim, changing it to match her own form.. and that she is behind the wave of pregnancies sweeping the Falling Stars, giving rise to fears of a whole generation of void-tainted children. 

 

Starlight must needs be stopped. At any cost.

 

"I feel naught but sorrow for her, for she is the worst of us through no fault of her own. Yet a bright thread may yet be woven from her dark tapestry.. for in incarnating the evils of my children, she has made herself an avatar of them. And thus, though it saddens me to contemplate.. destroying her would be the surest way to destroy much of the evil that has plagued the Falling Stars since we were first created, against our will, by men whose fear of death outstripped their compassion. This fear, we have inherited as surely as our white-blue hair and fur, since the beginning. Now, courage must overcome it. Starting with my own.. but ending with yours." - X'ennaliss Orthos, the Whiteseer

The Finale (Saturday, November 24th)

 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

- This event has three time blocs on the same day.

- Each bloc is 4 hours long, maximum.

- There will be a  1-hour break between the end of a bloc, and the start of a new one.

 

The time has come to face X'zarann Nunh. His power has been undermined, his worshipers made uncertain, his pact with the void broken. What remains is still one of the most devastating warriors the world has produced, deeply empowered by the Radiance - the absorbed power of materia - and supported by several of his mighty lieutenants, the Fallen.

 

X'orri the Redeemed, X'vann of the Leaf, and X'indro, Warlord of the South, will be joined by X'zenn, Herald of the Eight, and those of the Golden Horde who will come.. alongside Flame Captain Maximillian Maximus, leading a special force of Immortal Flames, on grounds of a suspected Primal threat. The Flame Captain, newly deputized member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, intends to see an end to the threat he helped lead the charge against in the sands of Thanalan, what now feels so long ago.

 

The plan is to strike from the Home Sept directly to the Crystal Caves, and seize them; the tight confines favour small forces, and could prove brutal against attackers... yet, according to X'indro, the sacred demesne of the Nuhn is now all but abandoned, virtually undefended. X'zarann has struck out for Azys Lla, using paths unknown but starting with an aetheryte in the Crystal Caves. It is believed he makes for an Allagan Antenna Relay which will allow him to send a telepathic impulse across the entire world.. one which would force everyone to worship him for just a moment, and propel him into divinity.

 

However, numerous such Relays exist in Azys Lla.. the only choice now is to hunt the Nunh down with as much force as can be brought to bear, while he is forced to deal with the ancient floating continent's defenses, standing between him and his goal.

 

For this, three teams are being assembled, the better to wear X'zarann and his allies down, and finally bring them low.

 

"The time's come. No more doubts, no more moralizing, no more delays. He's making his move. We're making ours. Let's finish this."

B, if there's room...?

[Anstarra]

The greatest son of the Falling Stars, X'zarann Silverall Nunh.. has been slain. Ending at long last his threat to the world. 

 

But the story of the Falling Stars tribe does not end here.

 

The tribe lives on, and has entered a new age. Old values are called into question. Growth, where before such was impossible. A questioning of traditions.. not least of all the tradition of isolation, of keeping themselves aloof from the world, hidden and apart. 

 

What does the future hold? 

 

Many stories, of that there can be no doubt.

 

But this one, Starsfall, has ended.
