(This is a copy of the newest news post for the FC, highlighting just some of the events we've had in the last few weeks! Let me know if you have any questions!)
A wondrous Starlight Celebration and Happy Holidays to you!
Â
First of all, we want to wish all of our members a happy andhealthy holiday season. As you can see above, the mansion has been decorated nearly to the rafters for the Starlight Celebration, please give a hearty thank you to Vi for how amazing it looks! There is a lot happening with the Aethertide, so make sure you check the site often! First, we’ll do a short recap, and then a quick teaser on things just around the corner!
Â
First and foremost is our first seasonal event from our newofficers, A Simple Request. It’s being run by Wemrys Quintos, and features a complex storyline that evolves based on the choices that the members make! In the first installment, our stalwart Venturers fought off an attack by the Sylphs on a mysterious shipment that the Aethertide was contracted to protect. Just when our heroes thought they’d saved the day, something drew the attention of a foul Morbol and a horde of ochu along with it!
Â
It wasn’t until they’d finally defeated the beast that theyfound out the truth: the shipment had been Milkroot all along! After a fair bit of soul searching, our very moral Venturers decided it was best to destroy the shipment to avoid any legal entanglements. Will that decision have further ramifications? Find out in part two, December 10[sup]th[/sup] at 8PM EST!
Â
Also in our news, since the last post we’ve had severalmember events that we want to spotlight. First, we had a pair of Halloween events, the first run by Khyran! In “A Dark and Stormy Nightâ€, the Aethertide got an urgent missive from a worried mother. Her two boys hadn't been home in days- and they were last seen playing in an old, abandoned mine that was rumored to be haunted. After navigating a variety of challenging twists, turns, and spooks, they finally managed to rescue the boys from certain death.
Â
Next, we had Necrotide, run by Tabudai. In this story, awandering minstrel came to the Aethertide’s house to weave them a tale of murder most foul. Within the tale, one of Aethertide’s own had been turning the members into unwitting undead slaves! After a spooky search of the manor for clues, the Aethertide discovered that none other than the Chief Physician Llinos Silvernail had hatched this dastardly plot in order to summon a voidsent of unspeakable power! When the story ended poorly for the heroes however, the Aethertide shooed the minstrel off their lawn and went back to their lives.
Â
In Connor Tavarin’s event “Broken Bondâ€, the kind little manwas forced to face his winding, mysterious past when he destroyed a possessed tome received from unknown sources. From within the book, a terrifying creature abducted him and left Aethertide to fend off the beast while it made Connor reveal dark secrets from his past. Not at all deterred, Aethertide fought valiantly to rescue him. This did not come without a cost. While Connor may have been successfully rescued with no casualties, the creature cut his ties with the elementals, making him completely unable to use conjury. Now, however, he is making a recovery both physically and psychologically with everyone's support.
Â
Finally, a look towards the horizon and things to come. Ourroll system is getting a bit of a tweak coming up, so keep your eyes open for that. In event news, prepare yourselves for a new season of Moogleball coming sometime before the next seasonal! Speaking of which, in January the Aethertide will have to navigate not only the dangerous streets of Ul’dah, but their politics as well! Stay tuned for “A Tangled Webâ€, run by me, Cordellia, and coming soon!
Â
That’s all for now. Thank you so much for making this thebest FC on Balmung, and have a safe and happy holiday season!
