Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

Hey, Malchivo! Welcome​ to the RP.

War and Strategy seem decent enough, though that sounds a bit tempered for purely Vestec's​ spawn.

Hmm, we don't have that many level-headed god's left that would suit...

Stuff it. I offer Toun's parenthood. He hasn't got a kid yet. Besides, if Vestec is involved in the process, I have a perfect reference image for what might happen.

It's safe for work, I swear.

Edit: Ilunabar could work as well. Also Logos would be appropriate, although Dawnscroll may still be busy making bank on that Rolex repair for a while.
With Areldril's answers, the road ahead now appeared much clearer. They had leads, a source of information about the specifics, and a hope that the end could be in sight for the war. The last piece of the puzzle brought attention to Lunise.

She remained standing, silent and stoic with a page in front of her eyes. She did not respond for several seconds. When she finally drew her gaze up to Areldril, it was devoid of all the vitriol she started with. It was empty and pale. Her voice escaped with such weakness that it was as if she forgot to breathe in before answering. "Yes you can, Areldril." Lunise turned her head to Meesei. "The champion of Hircine can supply you with any resources you need. I will deal with you at my discretion, which can wait. You will not find the Summerset Isles welcoming whether it is me that takes you there or another justicar. Just help us end this war."

"Well, that settles that," Marod said. "I was about to suggest, Meesei, that you take Areldril into your political asylum, seeing as we are still in a state where the clans are technically independent in law, but I have a feeling that allowing Lunise to do you this favour is less likely to cause an incident."

"Shut up, Marod," Lunise said joylessly before returning to her parchments.
I have given the wiki a partially nice and partially disgusting new theme. Those more design-minded may bring up an alternative if they wish, just send me the hex colour values.
@BBeast When reading that post, I immediately said 'fart' when the sculptor asked its question. I laughed to see that another sculptor had a similarly childish sense of humour xD.

Also, not to be a pedant, but for the sake of preventing miscommunication, Yorum is not really a nation, it's just a region of independent city states at the moment. Nationhood may or may not come later. Still, it's at a level of civilisation that none of the statements made about it in the post are necessarily incorrect.
"So, we find this horrid axe, convert it into a weapon to make up the power difference between Hircine and Vile, and then use it as a weapon against Vile?" Janius counted off his fingers. "That leaves quite a few gaps. You would either have to explain how we should go about those things or come to guide us."

Fendros spoke up over Janius. "Taking this one thing at a time, Meesei said that Vile's artefacts are no easy items to find. Do you know where this Rueful Axe is?"

"We need to find Barbas, too," Sabine finally commented. "Stopping Vile will not matter if he can grow again to try the same thing."
@Antarctic Termite Actually, that's a good point. I suppose there will still be player characters in the city during the invasion. Perhaps I'll have to collab with Tira or someone else still there if the subplots prove not filling enough.

Either that or I have Conata stop by Metera on the way after all.
Farxus is level 2... I've been updating his character sheet.

@Kho@Muttonhawk


Feel free to update the spreadsheet as well. It's editable so that we can have everyone's stats in one place at one time. It makes end-of-turn bureaucracy much easier.
In the quiet that followed, the soft sounds of the river were only joined by Lunise replacing the document she had just read in order to take out another and read it through. She was still completely withdrawn from the conversation around her.

The lengthy, confused silence was broken by Janius. "Are you trying to riddle us? If killing Vile was simple, we would have done it already."

"I will admit, Areldril, your words go beyond me, too," Marod added. He turned his sword and slid it back into the scabbard on his hip. "Even Martin Septim, becoming the vessel of Akatosh himself, did not kill Mehrunes Dagon when he set foot in the Imperial City. What are you getting at?"
Has a turn passed? I used up Farxus's might a while ago and I've been waiting for the turn to end... didn't think that it would take a couple of months.

@Muttonhawk@Kho


Yup, check your entry in the spreadsheet under the 'Demigods' tab:

@Bright_Ops being that Oradin is on the other side of the world and Kho is doing busy stuff, you might find things for Farxus to do on his journey in the meantime.

One thing you could do that would have a big impact on the current cultures would be to spread the idea of funeral rites. Perhaps you could write up a short plot along those lines to tide you over.

I'm doing some subplots for Conata right now because I know that the battle for Xerxes is brewing and Lifprasil is going to be occupied during that time, so turning up at Alefpria might have Conata twiddling her thumbs for a while.
