Before you get started: Make sure you have done { the introduction } + { part 1 of the storyline} ! It is not mandatory to continue here, but it will be helpful to figure out what is going on!








Immediately you see in front of you a castle. It is made of pure ivory with gold winding spires, and blue flags waving all directions in the wind. It is resplendent, it is glorious, it defines structure and beauty. You cannot help but feel a sense of - is it intimidation or respect? - as you enter along the halls, light spilling all directions from long windows. The same fine craftsmanship outside is reflected inside the great hall that you arrive at. A large banner is draped at the end of the hallway, outlined by stained glass: the order headquarters sigil. There is a throne below the banner, but it is empty, and seems as if it has been long untouched. In front of the throne is a large circular table, but that too has no seats and seems to have been abandoned.



ORDER FACTION NPC: HER MAJESTY


She is so resplendent it is nearly impossible to gaze directly at her, as she stands at the doorway, welcoming. You feel as if you have met her before, but you do not know where.


HOW TO FACTION:


Order Medallions and you!

You will need Order Medallions to buy these event items. Get order medallions through questing (see below) and things such as mini events and of course the daily advent!
  • If you have medallions of the opposite faction, you can still use them for the other faction. Your Stygian however, is specifically bound to one faction (but for example, if you have a Stygian of another faction as well, then you'd be able to earn medallions in both factions).
  • You are always able to use medallions you own in their respective faction shops (as long as the shop is open) even if you do not have a Stygian in that faction.  


  • { STEP 1: READ THE STORYLINE INTRODUCTION }
    If you haven't done so already, the links are  { here }. This is just for plot context, you don't need to do anything other than read them if you wish.
  • { STEP 2: POST YOUR FACTION ALLEGIANCE BELOW }
    Is Order the correct faction for your Stygian? If so, comment { HERE } posting their allegiance. Once they are committed, they cannot change factions for this event! You can have multiple Stygian in different factions. Use the form given here when commenting:

    My Stygian is allied now with ORDER: If so, comment { HERE }
    Masterlist entry of Stygian: Link the Stygian as it shows up on your site profile! If you have a quest Stygian, link their questing entry form from the introduction.

  • { STEP 3: DO THE EVENT QUESTS LISTED BELOW } Scroll down or control +F "QUESTS". These are event specific quests. Please read the rules of how to event quest below! Every time you complete an event quest you will get one Order Medallion. These can be used to redeem for special event only rewards!
  • { STEP 4: CLAIM EVENT QUEST REWARDS } Claim all your rewards from questing here by listing the name of the event quest in the description AND the link to your completed event quest in the URL.
  • { STEP 5: BUY REWARDS } Rewards range from MYOS, to rebases, event only traits, raffle tickets, daydreams, cards, the list goes on and on! You will need Order Medallions to buy things!


That's all you need, and to have fun! New storylines will be added biweekly until the event conclusion! The story is how you build it by engaging in any of the quests below. You are also very welcome to co-quest with friends! The standard questing rules apply @ points scoring.



EVENT QUESTING

How to EVENT QUEST:

Step 1: Read the quests below, and pick one you like for your Order aligned Stygian! You can draw them with other Stygian too of any faction from quests A-002 onwards. Quest A-001 is a solo quest.

Step 2: Engage in the quest! You can write it as a journal entry or on google docs or in a sta.sh, or submit it as art. We do recommend you submit it to { the EVENT GALLERY HERE } for keepsake purposes!

ALL EVENT QUESTS ARE REPEATABLE AS LONG AS YOUR STYGIAN IS THIS FACTION. Your deviation MUST have the event quest number (IE: ORDER -001) on it in the description (or title)! Please also list the ID numbers of Stygian involved, as well as a skill point tally. If it was a collab, please also list the collaborator's name!

Step 3: Once you've finished a quest, claim your quest prizes on the Stygian site! If it's a collab, both parties must claim their earned rewards separately!
IMPORTANT: Please redeem the event quests as seen like this:




ORDER 001: Protection

It is still too bright within the great hall as she walks towards you. Slowly her form shifts, pure white nightmares and soft shapes until she takes a human form, but it is still unbelievably bright, all white light and the outline of a shape. She nods, as you feel something tug at your consciousness. You know her, but you do not remember why.

"I have been waiting," she says, and it is surprisingly agreeable for someone her stature. "This is your home, is it not? Is this not where you belong?"

(PICK A or B)

YOU PICK A. You agree this is where you belong.

"Ah," she says, and immediately you yourself take a human form as well, even if you've never obtained one prior, one immediately is given to you. Unlike her resplendence you look almost ordinary, not covered in any sort of light. "You wont believe how unbelievably long I've been searching. But I'll spare you the details, I have so many questions to ask you, so many trials, so many- well never mind that. Let's start at the beginning. Do you value strength or wisdom?"

(PICK A1 or A2)

YOU PICK A1. You say "Strength". As you do, a weapon manifests in your arms, a shape that somehow resonates with you. It is made out of only the thinnest of nightmares however, and fades just seconds later into rays of light. She laughs softy, it is gentle. "A warrior I see. I once too knew a great warrior."



(PICK A1 or A2)

YOU PICK A2. You say "Wisdom". As you do, a book manifests in your arms, a title that resonates with you. As you flip through a few pages of the book, she also looms forward, curiously. "I see. This memory has great attachment towards you as well. But it is best not to get too attached, otherwise you may lose it again." She waves her hand, and the book disappears. (You may pick any book title or make up a fictional book title, as long as it doesn't hold a current copyright (ie: Harry Potter is a no, but Alice in Wonderland is okay. You are also free to illustrate or quote a passage from the book and your character's reaction to it).



(PICK A or B)

YOU PICK B. You disagree

"Really," she asks, and it doesn't feel upset or angry, more curious. "Tell me why, I am curious."

You formulate a reason why. It is one thing, it is so, so many things. And as you open your mouth to answer her, you realize you cannot. For some reason, the reason why, the memory of it, has been sealed away. Where there was disagreement, there is now just a strange, almost pleasant fuzziness.

She waits a few seconds longer, patiently. "I understand. I am patient. Let me know when you are ready to call this place your home." (Go to prompt A)




ORDER-001 EVENT QUEST REWARDS::

{ CLAIM YOUR REWARD } HERE.  Don't forget to add your prizes!
Your deviation MUST have the TITLE of the quest on it (or google document/stash etc): (Ie: ORDER-001)


x1 Order Medallion (+ no additional bonuses)

  • MAX 50 SKILL POINTS.

2 shadow tokens (+ no additional bonuses). You can only claim 2 shadow tokens ONCE PER QUEST.




ORDER 002: Daily tasks:

There is always work to be done, and with that, daily tasks. Pick one of the daily tasks below, and complete it however you wish.

CLEANING (human form only): The hallways are so, so bright, and in order to keep their beautiful, gilded gold and white structure, you are tasked with the glorious job of cleaning with a mob and pail. Sometimes as you clean, strange, unusual dark shapes skid across the hallways, like small dust bunnies perhaps. They stare at you always with reproachful eyes, barely enough to take the shape of some creature perhaps, before disappearing. The more stubborn ones do enjoy clinging to your legs, so it is best to shoo them away with a fell swoop of your mop.

BLESSING (all forms okay): In a lavish room upstairs is the "purification chamber". In the center is a pedestal with an ornate white sword glided in gold. It looks a little different to each Stygian who perceive it, as if it calls to them differently. Your Stygian is asked to give it a "blessing", anything your Stygian owns, perhaps a trinket from their own kingdom. What will they give it this time?

DAYDREAMS (all forms okay):: Daydreams of all shapes and sizes swarm the castle inside and out. Your Stygian is tasked in gathering them and clearing them out of the busier forest floor. Don't want anyone tripping over them! You may use any Daydream that exists as your art subject (though it is encouraged to draw ones your Stygian owns!)

PATROL (all forms okay): Unusual shapes surround the gates of the castle. They call them "lost souls", and they float as glowing, yellow orbs. They aggressively swarm and attack any Stygian that nears it, so it is up to your Stygian and perhaps some use of shadow-weaving to keep the lost souls at bay.

RENOVATION (human form only): Your Stygian is asked to help decorate lavish rooms for others visitors, like small treehouses. What will the decorate the room with?

ORDER 003: A shift in form (human form only - if your Stygian doesn't have a human form you can still do this quest, just make one up for them):

One unusual thing your Stygian notices every time they wake up is that their outfit is a little different every day. It is always based off a job class of some sort, even ones your Stygian have not learned yet. They are unsure why this happens, and it takes them just a small bit of concentration and focus to change back to their original clothing, but something about the magic here perhaps?

ORDER 004: STUDIES AND LEARNING

Your Stygian is asked to keep their study of order. Inside another hallway is a massive library, stretching out into floors and chambers upon chambers, with ladders stacked all directions connecting each intertwining bookshelves. The library is always moving, changing, adapting to find what you are looking for. What book will they find today?

- Feel free to instead of drawing/writing about them finding the book, write what the book is about. It can be about anything nonsensical, from a poem, to a drawing inside the book (like an "encyclopedia entry" of a made up thing), to whatever your heart desires. Make sure it isn't based off an actual existing IP (ie:"Harry Potter", "The Hunger Games"), you're free to use this book title generator here too: www.fantasynamegenerators.com/…

- You only need to write about a small passage or a page, not the entire book.

Your Stygian is allotted a modest room inside one of the castle towers. What kind of decorations will they put inside it? What forms (such as human) is the room built for? If doing this quest multiple times, feel free to design different rooms per day, or do a progression of what their room looks like as time continues on.

<div class="darkblock2"ORDER 008: NEW GAME+

(Please do not do this quest unless you've completed at LEAST 1 quest from either factions) and read this!

You are experiencing deja vu. You've done this before, you've been here before. Following the parts from storyline 1 and 2, any any quests above, are there any decisions or choices your character would make differently? Now is the time to act.
You may: 1) Redraw an existing quest you made, but this time in "new game +" mode, where your character is aware of what happened from the last time
2) Create an entirely new scenario or reaction based on what they've learned so far. This includes things as not engaging in certain things, interacting or talking with each other, as well as treating the NPCS (however you want to depict this within reason) differently. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below!

(Please do not do this quest until you've read the storyline finale

They approach you again, Her Majesty in all her splendor. "Have I not done everything you have requested?" The whisper, and their voice seems too demanding, too strong. "Is it not time for you to give me what I request? Your loyalty belongs to me after all, and so do your memories."

((OOC: If your Stygian agrees, they will lose all memory of this Order vs Chaos event after Part 3. If they disagree, they will retain all their memories of this event, but be unable to gain any more tokens from this point onwards to the end of the event, including this quest.))
