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:

this is why we love her, they can both do shiny magic shields

AND

Emilia has been assigned to guard Viktor (+ will be in the same tower as Caitlyn) so I feel like there'll be a lot of meaty opportunities there in general... 👀

Vi will regularly be checking on Viktor once she's able! bringing him gross snacks that are not fit for proper ladies like Emilia

Emilia can witness the horrifying tension as Vi asks about Caitlyn but does not seek her out, then turns to Awkwardly Distant Conversation But Yearning Bambi Eyes if Caitlyn happens by in public

[valeas]

do not be fooled by the flowers, vi! she will join you in all the feral brawling

... but also yes. will be making note of this bc what's going on you guys? what happened to the apocalypse dates?

[faceblocker]

apocalypse dates will happen once Vi thinks nobody is looking. she will probably be wrong lol

but SERIOUSLY yes, wow her with Emilia's brawling. she will stan
