Within the wilderness of Itjivut, a single pair of footprints were set miles inland in the deep snow. The trail seemed to head towards the mountainside; but just who wasn’t that had withstood the harsh and bitter cold? Xunatar, the Chaosweaver and the Lord of Lies was such a person. The hooded god had made the long, incredible trek because he was looking for something. A certain something that had once been a thorn to the side of the ice elves and outsiders alike not too long ago. His pale blue eyes, after a day or so of pondering, had found what they sought.
Nearing the base of largest mountain range and half buried by the snow laid the carcass of the mighty wyvern, Gifre. A beast that once spread terror throughout the island due to his sickening greedy nature. His power was so feared that he had commanded the armies of goblins and orcs to pillage in his name, but now that time was over. His forces had left for their own ventures and all that remained was his half frozen flesh and bones. Xunatar wasn’t present at his death but he knew that something as wondrous as this creature should not be laying here and wasting away.
“Do not worry, dearest friend. You will have your chance to burn as bright as like the sun”, he spoke towards the corpse as though he had been a loving pet.
His fingers lightly caress the wyvern’s form, the decay of it was postponed only because of their location. The body was still strong for the most part and it inspired a terrific idea from the devil as he extended his godly power onto it. As he did so, he could hear the bones cracking, the flesh twisting as the body spasmed violently. “Shh now”, he whispered as he channeled some more energy into it. You will serve this world one last time, as a test against those that have wronged you.” Chaotic magics seeped through Gifre and soon infused with mountain range itself. It took a full day’s time but by nightfall, his work was over and the setting around him had shifted. What now stood before him was a mountain fortress with its gates resembling that of the dearly departed wyvern.
But the unbound energies that glorified this structure could not be kept amongst itself and the excess channeled into a beam shooting up into the sky and branched into all directions. The rest of Canelux would soon feel this change. Ignius, the season of warmth and long days found its bright skies grey and the bitter cold ushering onto the area. Crops that were at their peak are in danger of dying, leaving many to starve or worse. Many that weren’t prepared for such a change find themselves scrambling to find heat anywhere they can for themselves and families. Unrest in some areas came next as people started to hoard supplies and become hostile to others. The change had brought out the worst in people; it brought forth a greed that had once been contained by the belly of the beast.
Rumors had been spread about the wyvern’s treasures. Though his hoard was said to be massive, he was crafty enough to hide it where even his former subordinates wouldn’t check. But the God was able to locate the collection and moved every piece to the site.
Whether motivated by the unselfish reason of saving more lives before they are lost from this curse or for the grand treasures kept here, Xunatar cordially invites brave adventurers, thrill seekers and hunters alike to…Gifre’s Vault.
For this event, members can post in the Gifre’s Vault form in order to wither away at the health of the chaotic energy beam that is providing the eternal cold throughout Canelux.
Items:
Wyvern Bone Blade- The strongest remnants of the frost wyvern’s skeleton were used to create this sword which can puncture and shred most modest armors apart with ease.
Dragonic Bellow- With this spell, the caster’s shouts are magnified into powerful bursts, able to both knock down enemies and obstacles and can invoke fear.
Pseudo-Wyvern- A small dragon the size of a house cat. Gifted with minor telepathy and a poisonous sting, they can be used as familiars, as pets, scouts or even for the local post system.
Synth:
Chaotic Matter- An excess amount of the Chaosweaver’s power leftover from the construction of Gifre’s Vault.
Gifre’s Bone- A piece of bone from the recently dead wyvern; there may still be some power left within it.
Coldfire- An abnormal flame that continuously burns a blue color. It is surprisingly cold to the touch.
You can find the event items in the Forge as usual! Check the shop list to find it :)
