Plot summary 11/04/2023 On the morning of its maiden voyage in 2296, a state of the art exploration vessel called the Jotunheim is attacked at Stavanger spaceport. Its experimental faster-than-light drive is accidentally triggered during the escape, transporting the ship to another dimension. The Jotunheim subsequently crash landed on an uncharted planet called Kanth-Amerek (K-A). Various native citizens of Kanth-Amerek witnessed the crash and came to investigate. After making contact with these locals, the Jotunheim's crew and passengers learned of multiple civilisations on the continent, with technology roughly equivalent to Earth in thr 1500s. However, there was one key difference - some of these natives appeared to have magical abilities, resulting in great societal advancement across some areas. Understanding the great technological prowess of these 'Sky People', the different parties of natives have begun to splinter. One group led by Castigator Nellara wants to monopolise friendly relations in the name of the Ascendency, a meritocracy founded by a bird-like species known as the Tekeri. A second group, led by a struggling Glen noble of House Silbermine, want to befriend these strangers to help them win re-election in a once a decade contest known as the Running. Tension ran high in the initial meeting, with House Silbermine and the Ascendency+ almost coming into armed conflict. However a last-minute intervention by the Humans defused the situation. Both sides are now calling for a Thought mage to begin the lengthy translation process. We still have a few spaces available if you're interested in joining!
