lostcompass | arc iv: serthica

Hello, hello! Get your goggles on and take a gaze upon Arc IV: Serthica, which kicks off ICly through our 13 August arrival event.

■ The LOCATIONS page now includes the Arc setup and site descriptions for Serthica citadel halves Eidris and Minaras, along with Neutral Zones and the Mouse House underworld.

! Necromancers and the spiritually sensitive cannot sense any spirits or dead things in Serthica, even from fresh corpses.

■ Check out TEAM & LOCATION ASSIGNMENTS. To confirm: characters can still cross over into the ‘opposing’ citadel half or meet on neutral ground — just be discreet.

■ You’ll spot characters have also been assigned false identities and roles in Serthica. They inherit them alongside forged identification papers and are publicly expected to uphold them. No worry: they can be very terrible at their jobs. The roles give characters a personalised local advantage and easier access to certain locations or citizens for information gathering. If there is anything about your character's role you are OOCly uncomfortable playing out, get in touch and we can chat about re-assignment.

■ The Arc IV NPC inbox is now live. You can hit up an available NPC at any point over the Arc’s duration. A grateful Quicksilver Sam has been accepted into the fold, courtesy of our latest vote and/or bleeding hearts.

You’ll get full details of the upcoming three-week event in the 13 August log write-up, but a loose sketch of what to expect:

■ Joyful arrival in Serthica, just in time for yet another Eidris-Minaras commemorative peace summit in the Neutral Zone. The Mouse House team will meet their colleagues there.

Note: no weapons or magical artefacts are allowed in the Neutral Zone. Those who don’t surrender their weapons cannot attend the summit — this is sadly non-negotiable with the locals. If your character can't compromise, they can head to their citadel half.

■ An inevitable assassination attempt against the Minaras officials assembled at the summit. That includes any Minaras PC character representatives.

■ Characters settling into their assigned roles and citadel halves — some barracks and minimal accommodations will be available, but best if they group up fir their own living arrangements ( 2-4 characters per unit).

■ Eidris: a dragon clutch is born, to simultaneous local horror and celebration. No animal or dragon death!

■ Minaras: civic indoctrination sessions, droid acquaintances and close surveillance.

■ ...probably tech errors and/or typos, the log does goes up on the 13th.

CHARACTER & CANON: Beitang Moran || Oh! My Emperor

THEIR SERTHICA LOCATION ASSIGNMENT: Minaras

THEIR ROLE IN SERTHICA: Rhetoric master: speech instructor to some of the members of the House of Sigil and debater of their ideas.

LIVING/PAIRING ARRANGEMENTS? None decided yet, but he'll try to find some comfort which is 'position' should probably allow him (he'll sweet talk someone into it if he has to).

WILL THEY HAVE A DRAGON/DROID? DESCRIBE THEM: Might keep a small droid for taking care of household matters that he can't be bothered to take care of. It might end up decorated like an Imperial palace maid. (It might actually look like this, with a wig to emulate an Imperial palace maid).

ANY LOOSE PLANS:Plans are.... verry very loose. Moran will be all up in political intrigue and he will actually take his fake job seriously because he enjoys it (watch him him whip up some politicians into shape!)

Also if anyone wants to play with his visions, let me know, he hasn't had any since Ke-Waihu.

Do they really need Beitang Moran showing snakes how to be even more serpentine, that is the question.

Clearly, he does, that's his government-assigned mission.

Also, he might just be missing yelling at people to shape up, let him live.
