Bad Tidings

The East Island has been hearing bad tidings. We know not what they are, we can only hope that we can piece together this mystery through the notes we have and what we think could be.

Evidence

(If you have any evidence, please put down what realm you are in/what realm you recieved it in. If you recieved a message that is already listed under a different realm, please move it to the Global category).

Bad Tidings
Rumours spread around the island. Strangers mumble weird tales in the local pubs. The priests are silent, but unusually busy. Something is amiss.

Yssaria, Fontan, Oligarch

Rumours
Rumours are spreading through the lands that a prophet has appeared in Akesh Temple. Though his words are mysterious and difficult to grasp, his main message appears to be one of a painful rebirth. Religious leaders appear to be of split opinion on the man, some attempting to interpret his words while others label him a heretic.

Rumours
Strange beasts are rumours to roam the forests these days, many more than there used to be.

Avamar

Rumours
Rumours are spreading quickly throughout the land, that a crazy old man is preaching of doom and destruction in Sirion Castle. It appears that a small cult has sprung up around him quickly, and his visions sound strangely truthful.

Terrorist Attacks

Dan Raymond (Tom wants to bring in World Wide Events into Battlemaster. Terrorists will come and hide among the population and cause horrible deaths and lost gold. You can only hunt them down by police work and horrible results will happen in Republics. Riots will be caused until George Bush is removed from office. lol. Theocracies will be terrorized and tyrannies will be awarded.

• This means the realms will be destroyed, making all the regions go rogue for brand new realms, right?
• Maybe, though my conception of it is that there are suddenly large amounts of monsters, bandits, unrest, peasent revolts, ect., and ensuring that regions don't go rogue suddenly becomes far more important than the current wars -- not that the wars would end, but trying to fight them with more than a small fraction of the realm's forces would mean that your other regions would be in danger of going rogue. In the political chaos, anyone who can quickly take advantage of the situation will prosper, and there will be dozens of rebellions and sucessions. That would be fun. --Morgan Evans 21 December 2005 04:14 (CET)
• Okay, I got it, so, essentially, the Monster Invasions all over again, and in a fully set up and very old continent? Vellos 21 December 2005 04:41 (CET)
• Sort of, but not completely. While monsters would certainly play a part, they wouldn't be the overriding focus. There would be no specific enemy to unite against -- just general chaos caused by a dozen different things, among them monsters. --Morgan Evans 21 December 2005 05:53 (CET)
