Thank you for your application in the game’s last cycle! You are 100% new, shiny and chrome, so don't feel bad ever nudging / PMing if you have questions. Generally, we roll on the assumption of:
— anything goes (genuinely)
— you can always hit up the NPC inbox (once the new one is up...!) for additional interaction or clue searches outside of what's in event outlines
— we like to explode and/or take the murder or chaos route pretty randomly, bear with it!
A game-wide OOC intro / CR meme and plotting post goes up on 6 December.
All game updates are posted on lostcompass, but you can also follow eastbound. You’ll get a private message with an invite to the informal game discord server, once you comment to the Taken List.
You already knows how this goes, but especially for the coerce ability: please make sure to get player permission if you plan to have Temenos exercise this power against other PCs 😊 We may have to water it down now and then for NPC interaction, but nothing critical.
You may jump into the last three months of plot and put your hands all over it.
Your character receives a shiny new pocket watch pendant with a mirror inside, which serves as a translator and communication device for written, video and audio interaction. It can read out translations of messages written out in native tongues.

INTRO
Your character arrives during the party’s botched attempt to leave the lavish city of Ephes, wrenched from home just as the citadel’s beacon collapses. The party’s witch Karsa supplies a translation and communication device and explains that your character has arrived in Akhuras — a world sundered by ongoing war between the lords of the undead Brotherhood and their contenders.
Your character joins several other otherworlders, whom Karsa’s collaborator, the Merchant, seeks to return to their own worlds through transport beacons, before the undead can weaponise them in battle. For months, this travelling party has been traversing Akhuras, un/intentionally defying the Brotherhood at every step — and chasing the trail of the mysterious Matthias, a scientist of the formidable collapsed citadel of Ellethia, who may have created the undead and the elusive ‘dark water’ that powers them. Matthias has been leaving behind severed parts of his own body to seed or strengthen ‘dark water’ in several territories and summon the undead locally.
The hour of the party’s inevitable confrontation with Matthias draws near.
