ALEM

---

Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.

Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.

Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.

Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

Characters arrive today, with our first proper taste of event chaos due on 27-28 January. Get your character settled in, check out the setting and their assignment, and strike some CR:

I'm serious about yeeting Wangji, so I'm going to throw him your way (h e h) for some post-cliff aftercare.

But also, do you need a weapon, buddy, we can totally get you a second one.

Dammit, Wangji

And yes, give him another weapon pls

[downswing]

What's the most hilarious weapon you'd want for him, I can have Wangji blithely pick it up from the field and go HERE YO UGO

[homeostatic]

He'll be hideously squeamish about (battle) axes so, of course, one would be perfect

[downswing]

lmao done, this is your Christmas gift, Bones

Probably dragged in off some disgusting creature, its blood still on the handle like, 'pls don't drop this, yeah it's a bit slippery, mate.'
