Event End:
After several days of brutal fighting, Parvpora's troubled north has calmed. The invading army and their flying fortress have been beaten; and the fear-filled city of Tarishitar has been pacified. But at what cost?
Tarishitar:
Thanks to the valiant efforts of a group of adventurers in the ravines of Tarishitar, the dream barriers were shut off before the Dreaming could consume the city. However, following that victory, there was a surprising lack of manpower to deliver the needed medicine to afflicted citizens. While a majority of the city's population survived the cataclysm, a great many died. Lingering dream substance festered in some of the wounds on the mass of corpses lining the streets, showing that not all the deceased fell from intoxicated infighting. Either way, the stench of death lined the streets of this once proud city.
Tarishitar will rebuild, in time, but the markets will certainly be less lively until the citizens can replenish their population and clear their loved ones from the road.
Bakulaw:
The automatons in the north were revealed to be an alternative version of Tarishitarans from another world during the course of the battle in the skies. They were originally mortals who scholars believe followed a darker version of Angela. They had cast away their flesh in favor of eternal life, and had come to harvest and purge our Revaliir for their own gain. Their flagship forces had the magical might to do this, but they had not counted on being bested by the world's defenders.
At the apex of the battle, when it was revealed the automatons could be resurrected, the Goddess of Keys and Secrets forced her temple through the walls of reality. An impossibly tall tower manifested by her will, skewering the platform in the sky and destroying the energy core in one fell swoop. Mana was sapped from the automatons afterward, leaving Revaliir's forces able to mop them up without worry of inflicting insufficient damage.
After the battle was over, all defenders returned home with victory in their hands. Some attempted to revisit the ruins under various circumstances later on, but all such explorers quickly found themselves unable to get close. A mysterious barrier had been erected around the destroyed automatons and their former stronghold, preventing all access. This wall eventually disappeared, but, by that time, all trace of the invading force had been erased. Only the sickly glow of the breach remained in the sky above, and all trace of magic as well as technology had been razed from the area.
Elsewhere:
Strange happenings have begun to take place in the aftermath of these attacks, particularly anywhere associated with the Goddess of Keys and Secrets. It is rumored that her name is gradually fading from documents regardless of their material and even from the minds of her worshippers. Why exactly this is happening or why the Goddess has not said anything remains a complete mystery.
Conclusion:
Alright, everyone. The item portion of the event ended on the 24th, even though I'm posting this today. Anyone currently participating in an event thread is, of course, welcome to keep doing so.
