🐅 Twelve Days of Wintermiss: Day 2 – The Wards: The Faction War Rages
Establishing the Barrier (December 14th in Cryselle)
The Aetherial Diyas glowed brightly last night, holding back The Candle Thief! Tonight, we light the second ceremonial Aetherial Diya, reinforcing the initial light barrier that stands against the Shadowfrost Arch Demon.
The conflict around the Tygerian Isles is a relentless Faction War involving four major powers: The Wintermiss Alliance, the Shadowfrost Arch Demon, Grilla's independent Yule Tide Family, and Lorea’s Wild Card Ice Dragons. Our defenses must be comprehensive.
Night 2 Ritual: Drawing the Tiger's Mark Rangoli
Tonight is dedicated to the creation of The Wards, blending our traditions with defensive, sacred floor art. Tygerian monsters in every town square and home courtyard are drawing the Tiger's Mark Rangoli—intricate, nine-point patterns depicting the Tiger Force Shadow Saga emblem.
These wards are painted using a special pigment infused with the Ink of Anticipation. They are active magic, designed to predict and repel the actions of any creature tainted by the Void.
The Shadow's Second Strike: The Gully Lurker
Tonight, Grilla's uneasy alliance sends The Gully Lurker (one of the Winter Ghoulish Langley Ogre Lads). This creature specializes in striking at the heart of our community effort. The Gully Lurker sneaks into the Cryselle dairies, not just to steal food, but specifically to taint or steal the large vats of sacred milk needed to prepare the ceremonial ghee and consecrating oils used in the remaining Aetherial Diyas. By cutting off the supply, he seeks to end the Vigil prematurely.
We must protect the dairies and keep the Tiger's Mark Rangoli intact, for they are the eyes of our defenses!
