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.

and possibly smuggle people out eventually. So he would be very much glad to know someone else is working to improve the conditions there!He also generally tries to stick his nose into literally everyone's business and will need to know exactly what's going on so understanding the source of the conflict between the two citadel halves, etc.
Basically I am just looking forward to tossing the Doctor at her as I think they have a few very similar goals!

Emilia is not afraid to get her hands dirty, especially if she finds the cause to be just or advantageous to the group — but some things are just wrong. Once she learns about these conditions, she'll definitely be pro-improvement.
Also, she loves stories. She thinks they're their own brand of magic, really. So please tell her all the Tardis stories as they unravel this citadel mystery, Doctor!

And the floodgates will open quickly on those stories! He misses his old girl desperately, he needs to brag about their adventures to anyone who will listen. ;-;

Please tell her about all your adventures. She'll bring the sweets.
