Ok, here's the story. I was going to post this sort of announcement exactly one from week tomorrow after NaNoWriMo had ended, but Emma, in her niceness -glares- most decidedly forced my hand by starting a thread asking for members to join it. However, Elvorn has accidentally deleted that thread, probably due to the fact that his mouse has been rebelling against him lately. So, since I know of no ways to resurrect it from deleted thread limbo, I'm starting it here again. All of you who signed up before, please repost here.
This is the plot:
Ever since the first few days of spring, trees at a section of the very edge of Du Weldenvarden have started rotting completely from the inside out, dying in a matter of days. This is obviously from some kind of infection, from the powdery, sickly white growths left behind on the dessicated husks of the trunks. The elves, having seen things vaguely like this before, tried to use their magic prowess to try and isolate the area and purge the disease, but this only seemed to accelerate the process and make the infection spread faster, making the infected area of the forest steadily grow larger.
Naturally, the elves and the Varden believed that the Empire was behind it. But soon afterwords, it was discovered that the crops of the northern area of the Empire were also dying, and their mages were having the same amount of success in combating it. Over the past two months, the infection is now spread over a wide area in the north, and is spreading steadily southwards.Now, the Empire has requested a neutral summit to meet with the Varden and discuss joint solutions, for the first time in a hundred years of war. After some deliberation, Lady Lorana's palace in the newly captured town of Feinster has been selected to hold the proceedings. Many among the Varden however are convinced that it is all an elaborate plot on the part of the Empire, and tensions run high. All can agree though, that this infection is a threat to all, beyond the scope of wars and battlelines, and must be halted.
So, basically, we need riders and mages and soldiers scholars... a bunch of smart people to be in Feinster to discuss what can be done. This thread is going to be started by Emma, and not by me, but other threads can be started pertaining to it. Too many people may get messy, but we're willing to try anyway. Who's in?
