EVENT SIGN-UP
66th to 80th of Ymiden
The Assault on Quacia
Six long trials of constant battles around the perimeter of Quacia, ever since the Dragoons made the first strike on the 60th of Ymiden; against the Creep that surrounded the city by land and sea since the 46th of Ymiden.
On the 66th of Ymiden, the Creep finally take down a portion of the wall along the eastern side of the city. Creep pour in through the Gleam, but soon overtake Shanty, then Lair, but with hope... are kept out of Fortress (where most of the nobility, wealthy, and religious go to hide).
The war switches from countryside and wall-based, to complete urban warfare.
Mages not involved with the Dragoon, get heavily involved as they refuse for their arcane sanctuary to be destroyed. Necromancers start to make use of those killed in the fighting, raising them without hesitation. It isn't long until an entire army of Undead, controlled by multiple necromancers, roam the streets of Quacia.
Feverish zealots of the Scarlet Belief start on suicide missions to take out portions of the Creep. Though the Dragoon try to contain things, they simply cannot. Quacia becomes complete and utter chaos, except for one thing: Everyone has a common enemy - and that enemy is the Creep.
This will be a pivotal event that will influence the future of Quacia after this point.
Hello Players,
Please post here with the following information if you will be participating in this event. Solos and Collabs outside of the event, involving this Calendar occurrence, is also encouraged - please, post here with those threads as well so I can keep track of what may develop from PC actions and impact the direction that Quacia takes!
The event is Mature-rated and High Risk, High Reward.
High Risk means there is the chance of maiming, mutations, death, and worse. Signing up agrees to these risks.
Once I know who all will be participating, I'll approximate a rough posting schedule and however far it gets by Cycle Change, is what will happen.
This event will end either before, or on the day of, Cycle Change, no matter what.

I'll be updating everyone soon with the first threads, so keep an eye on the boards and your Private Messages for these character accounts!
In the meantime, here is the Thread Tracker where you can post any important lead-up solos/collabs that might impact how your character handles the event. It's also where I'll probably update on the event, maybe. But for now, it's a good spot to share those threads!
