OOC Info [Suvan Sea - Spring 513] Current Events

[Cascade]

It’s the start of a new year, signaling all the opportunities and hopes that represents! People are participating excitedly in the Ansayia at the Anchorage Flotilla, buying trinkets and dancing and singing and merry-making. Refugees who sailed north to escape last season’s southern sea storm will be present as well, causing the Flotilla’s population to soar in numbers and making the North Suvan the very temporary heart of the Svefra. Pods that normally wouldn't be in the center of the continent do so for a few dozen days to wait out the storm disrupting their home, but this only adds to the festivities as families who have not seen each other for a while get together again and celebrate. But it’s not all festivities, for trouble is brewing. Word has spread throughout the North and is being spread South of the infamous Inarta pirate Braten's most recent sacrilege: the near-total annihilation of the Riprunner pod. Yet still the blasphemer eludes them, though not for much longer. The Lias have made plans, and with undercover Svefra aboard Braten's ship it is only a matter of time until he is found and cornered. Some gather at the Anchorage while others seek help from the people of Syliras, another victim of the damned pirate. Whether these two groups work together or not remains to be seen, but without a question both will jump as soon as the blasted Inarta is found. It will be a stressing battle, but none shall escape the Sea Father's justice.

These quests will be subject to the player’s interpretation, but also open to random posts from moderators. Also, even if you won’t be doing the quest itself, your PC may have IC knowledge about the related events. There are no right or wrong conclusions and any actions may possibly affect future events. Agressions in the North Without anyone volunteering to slay whatever is attacking the fishermen near Syliras, the disturbance has grown from a mild worry to a significant threat for those in the area. Now the reports aren't so much of attacks on random boats as ships up and disappearing when they enter the general location. It is still on a very small scale, but unchecked it could prove to be incredibly dangerous to pods traveling through. Gods forbid it move south and inhabit the waters along the Syliras trade route... Helping The Refugees Following last season’s storm, a large number of people from the South are seeking refuge in the Anchorage. Most of their supplies had been given up as an offering to the sea god, and they do not have much to bring during their travel back to the South. While they have been aided by their brothers and sisters, especially during the new year, their resources are still not enough for the trip.
