Kevin's Watch

Your Favored and your soldiers travel to Chastus's portal in the middle of the Immeril desert; here, a scene of utter devastation welcomes you and Norn's people, as the terrain for miles around Chastus's Portal is scorched, warped and broken by the raging river of white-hot coldfire flowing endlessly from the portal, seeping into the earth and into the world of Eiran. HUNDREDS of the World Breaker's minions ward the portal, hiding amidst the white-hot fire - and they only reveal themselves when your armies approach! Each of them is easily worth ten of your soldiers or more - the battle turns into a bloody struggle for survival as the creatures incinerate or freeze everything in their path. Job watches his army being decimated, the Favored dying one by one before they can even reach the portal; in despair, he calls upon Norn to create the Living Seal, and even as more of Nephirthos's minions pour into the world through the portal, Norn's power reshapes the 87 remaining Favored into a great living crystal, which engulfs and contains Chastus's portal. The river of white-hot fire dwindles and dies; full of wrath, Nephirthos's minions destroy all the remaining soldiers, though some of them meet death too. Then, they turn to the Living Seal and attempt to destroy it, but the Seal resists their attacks - for now...

what have I done...

Feeling the power of many gods behind you, and the blessings of even more about you, you gather your skills and you begin to Sing. A strange, flickering movement plays at the edge of your vision for a moment, but then it is gone, and you pay no attention it, thinking it perhaps the power of a latecomer.
You begin to Sing, losing yourself in the Song as it pours forth of the essences and powers of all the gods of Eiran, casting it across the world, and onto the World Breaker himself, attempting to constrain him, to recreate that which he destroys. The Song dances over mountains and into valleys, flows through rivers and into the seas... it is a joyous moment, when all of Eiran is joined in Song against the World Breaker and his violation!
And yet - what is this?! Suddenly, you become aware that something is terribly wrong - the Song twists and writhes like a caged animal, disharmonies manifest themselves where none should be, a cacophony of sounds both shrill and grave that suddenly overtake your Song and pervert it, not going against its power but rather directing that power towards the abyss! You try to stop the Song, but it is too late - once embarked on this quest, you cannot stop until all is done, and you can only watch, horrified, as a Song of beauty and glory is twisted into a Screech of evil and madness, a Screech that rakes across Eiran and claws at the minds of mortals, sending them spiraling into madness, screaming endlessly in the dark corners of their cobwebbed minds! A Screech which does not harm the World Breaker - but rather, strengthens him, for it weakens the gods and their creations! With the final discordant note, the Screech is complete and the world of Eiran has changed, twisted upon its foundations; madness runs rampant, raving lunatics replacing ardent followers, throughout all the lands; the tingling bells of the Jester of Madness can be heard in the distance as he grows stronger by the moment with the effects of the Screech - and above it all, the withering laughter of Nephirthos, which scoured you to the bone when you first brought it into the world, once more echoes across all of Eiran...

A monstrous tidal wave slams against Adomorn's cities of Adomorn, Archel and Duty, killing many and causing untold damage.

Before suspicion falls my way, I deny all responsibilty for this tragedy. God of the Seas I may be, but a I am not a cliche!

Astavyastataa and Argothoth slaughter tens of thousands of my people, and Moxinomal poisons the minds of our followers with madness; truly these, and not the entities from the outer darkness, are the true servants of Chaos. I endure, however, despite their efforts, but I am sorely weakened.
If I am to be destroyed, I will finish my time in this realm doing what I have always striven to do: driving out the sickness and suffering from the world.
I offer myself to you, my brethren. Though weakened still may I fight: send to me all of the strength that you can spare, and I will rid the world of the madness that has been cast upon it. I will drive it out, and leave the world cleansed of insanity. It is only fitting that I should end things thus.


[[I'll need to know exactly what power I'm getting from everyone, so I can be specific. No room left for people slipping something in the way this was caused in the first place.]]

Usurped though my Domains may be, I am STILL the OMEGA. I AM still CHAOS and DESTRUCTION!! As all now know!

Murrin wrote:It is about your Song no longer. I intended the salvation of this world, and if I am not strong enough to accomplish that goal, I can at least relieve minds of the sickness that has been cast upon them. I am Health, and this madness it is my place to heal.
