[Plot] In-Game Explanation for those who got on the boats to Stradyn

Kasuni

Squire
For those who departed for Stradyn immediately after the March 2017 Weekend Event:

The Paragons share with you that the journey from the shore of Calliphestus to Stradyn will take about 2 weeks. Paragons Myra and Efram join the adventurers for the voyage, and Paragons Sebastian and Hannah return to Stradyn. The ships depart from the Blackened Reaches, at the Southeast corner of Calliphestus. A few days after the ships depart, the captains look concerned.

You find out that somewhere in the land-bonding process, the Mists between Stradyn and Calliphestus disappeared. The Captains do not see the Mists they used to pilot the ships through during the Journey.

However, as you travel beyond the traditional bounds of the ocean surrounding Calliphestus, the Captains continue sailing on.

The Paragons explain that when the lands of The Ceriopolis and Stradyn were bonded, a directional shift occurred, and the lands were separated by Mists no longer. The directional shift didn’t occur in a single moment – it has been occurring over time. The Paragons note that as of the end of the 4th month of 617, the shifting seems to have slowed somewhat, but is still active.

The Captains judge that via the Star Charts, the ship has blown vastly off course. They anticipate arrival in Stradyn near the end of the 6th month of 617, assuming minimal shifting moving forward.


[For those of you attending Big West]


The Paragons speak with those on the ship of a Call to Aid that was heard through the dreams. For those who wish to answer the Call, the Paragons agree to arrange quicker transport back to the Ceriopolis, so they can leave through the Mists to visit the Maelstrom. They explain that it is much less energy to rift The Heroes to The Ceriopolis than it would be to rift them to Stradyn, because the distance to Stradyn is greater based upon the shifting and current positions.

“The Outsiders are a threat to all of Fortannis,” Paragon Myra says. “And while we have not had Outsiders directly enter Stradyn, spectral undead agents of the Outsiders have been found. Some of you encountered these before we left The Ceriopolis. Paragons Sebastian and Hannah will meet you in Maelstrom, to assist as much as they are able before Stradyn requires them to return. While we do need you in Stradyn, we cannot get you there reliably until the directional shifting settles – we do not know when that will be completed.”

Paragons Myra and Efram rift those who would like to attend Big West back to The Ceriopolis to join those who remained. From there, you will all travel the Mists to Maelstrom.
