The clouds part and the sun breaks through once again, quickly warming everything up. It will take some time, as the air and water are all still quite cold, but the warmer seasons are quickly asserting themselves. |

- | === 05/14/10078 === | + | > Finally, for those who have a connection to such things, Vashana, the Spring Queen has been restored to her full power. |
- | //Mages and Priests are confounded about the astronomical phenomenon now visible in the sky since last night (Centralia Time): a large black object with a red corona around it, about the size of the sun, Onra, in the sky. News has dubbed this new astral body the “Black Star” and some groups around Jaern have given it the name “Onrudri” and are claiming it is the start of an apocalypse. The Centralia Mages’ Guild is already coordinating efforts with the Rougtero and Jersey branches to look into and find out what is happening. So far, no harm or change has come to Jaern, but experts call for people to remain vigilant and wary.// | + | === 04/30/10079 === |

- | //Update: The Black Star has disappeared from the sky of Jaern after adventurers were dispatched | + | > It has now been over 5 months since the start of the planet-wide blizzard, but as Kild begins and marks the start of Fajrofojo, hope looms on the horizon. Warmer weather has reduced the effects of the storm to milder winds and snows, and a few trade routes have reopened. The Solariums of Ra and Natatoriums of Neptune have banded together, and called forth a joint mission to counter the blizzard and return Jaern to normal. |
- | === 05/28/10078 === | + | > However, it seems more strange happenings are being reported across Jaern. At’enite Temples across the world have been mysteriously abandoned, and left to ruin. Reports of time lapses or anomalies grow more common, and the Mages’ Guilds are at a loss for what to do. |
- | //The Centralia Mages’ Guild has finally released an official statement about the planetary body that appears to have collided into Jaern earlier this week. While the information is still incomplete, we know that adventuring operatives have already been sent to explore. Luckily, it appears that this “moon” did not physically collide with Jaern in the cataclysmic sense, and that some sort of planar magic may be at play.// | + | > A beacon of green light can be seen from across Ageron, extending from Firehammer. Reports of similar beacons are coming in from various other places: Kratal, Lojem, and far in the north, beyond the Rhine. |
- | //Officials at the Mages’ Guild urge others to avoid the “collision” site. The trade routes to Kratal and Geleia have been disrupted, but there are Neptunians working on establishing temporary detours in the meantime.// | + | ==== The Raze of Centralia and the One With A Thousand Eyes ==== |

- | === 06/01/10078 === | + | > 4/20/10079. The city of Centralia has been abandoned and razed by this invading force. Black smoke can be seen billowing up into the sky, with a singular large eye in the clouds over the city. Torites have been amassing in force to retake the city, but even still with preparations. Very few of this invading force have fallen. Of those that have, they appear to be commoners of Prall. Factory workers with no discernable mutates or unusual abilities. |

+ | > The storm continues over the Ageron islands, and last reports state that the bridge to Gaea is still out. Notices from Solariums across Jaern state that their doors are open to those who need shelter from the cold. Daytime spells are being cast to provide warmth, and food is being prepared for those who are hungry. This support is given out of generosity and good will, and any who would like to support the cause can send donations to the local Solarium. | ||

+ | > The individual known as “The White Blood,” responsible for the mass distribution of the Shadowlight Treatsie, has still not been identified or any additional details discovered. The inflammatory remarks against Ra and his Church have certainly found their way across the land and perhaps the recent actions by the Ra’ites are an effort to show that they are not the imposters so-claimed by the White Blood, or perhaps the move is a gambit to lure victims in to the Solariums under a continued guise of good will. | ||
+ | |||
+ | > There are those on both sides of this conflict, people who have flocked to the words of the White Blood and heralded them as someone unafraid to speak the truth, while others defend the Ra’ite Church as a paragon of light and order. While the storm has prevented any wide scale protests or conflicts in the streets, the animosity between families, friends, and communities can be felt in the chilling wind. | ||

> On Obern 28, the entirety of Jaern was engulfed in a planet wide blizzard, a extreme weather phenomenon that caused damage and devastation to a mostly temperate planet. Islands between the two tropics were hit the hardest, as they found themselves ill-prepared for the onslaught of wind and snow, which left roads dangerous to travel, and without proper heating and insulation, reports of hypothermia and frostbite run rampant. The Rougtero Mages’ Guild is sending out a request for all Fire Mages to assist with warming homes and community shelters. | > On Obern 28, the entirety of Jaern was engulfed in a planet wide blizzard, a extreme weather phenomenon that caused damage and devastation to a mostly temperate planet.

Reports from those who attended the wedding state that a cloaked figure warned the attendants to be on guard during the wedding. Thus, the wedding was relocated to a grove to the north of Rougtero, where the World Tree was planted in a defensible position. As the ceremony began, the entity known as Anti-Osiris sent in hirudo werewolves in an attempt to disrupt the wedding and drain the divine power of Osiris. This resulted in a massive and lengthy battle, where the adventurers and Osiris emerged victorious. The ceremony was completed, and N was elevated as Summer, and formally retired from adventuring. A short story based on these events was published in the Rougtero Journal, although it is highly dramaticized in many sections.// | ||
