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:

s'okay for the edits, i almost replied with my steve journal so yknow

[speechy]

super speed is just as baffling, okay, and he's seen more crazy stuff in his century and pocket change than most people.

what's a friend?! no, really, though. he has a lot of people who reluctantly tolerate him. it would be exciting to give spike friends other than women, please and thank you.

nothing but vibes ✨

pietro gets bonus points because wanda's his sister...right......

guy friendships are important, especially if pietro's bound to learn some time that he dies for real. starts taking notes on being a vampire lifestyle

[speechy]

ehhh a half-point? to be decided.

OH GOD. please don't learn from spike's terrible example. pietro's notes: wear black nail polish and get thrown around a lot

[margenes]

[speechy]
