The Fall of Emea Q & A Thread.

[Pegasus]

Will Crossing and Escorting still be possible since there is still a part/parts of Emea accessible?

Nope. Not initially. As the Rebuild progresses (if it does) things will change but that will be IC.

Also, I've heard that everyone will be able to "see" the events that lead up to the breaking. Is this true and if so, would you be able to add the scene into the information posts where it's easily findable for reference?

What people know, and a link to the thread (it's not one scene, I'm afraid) will be put out in the announcement at the beginning of the Cycle.

So, there was a detail that changed everything and CiTW didn't end the way you thought. Emea will only be down during 1-30 Ymiden 719. Then it will resurrect again, with somewhat changed lore and rules. Okay, totally okay. (I was also okay with the first outcome. None of them bothers me.)

I'm curious about the missed detail though. What changed it all?

[Mastemyr]

I'm wanting to do some dream memory threads, but I see Emea has been reorganized.

With the "Before the Fall" forum getting locked on June 1st, should I put down a bunch of placeholders or will threads be able to be added after the fact?

That's a detail that I'm not going to share, since it isn't mine to tell. I'm glad you're good with the change - thanks for being so flexible!

Emea has been reorganised! But that was me being keen and eager and getting on with stuff - and now things have changed so.... the place won't be locked and there'll probably be a forum reshuffle soon as I get myself sorted out of this end of Cycle madness. Sorry about the confusion! Fill your boots with dream threads

Can defiance mages, if they have enough kindling and firewood, make a spark with defiance, then fan the flames until it's a bonfire, then flay that bonfire for more ether than it took to make that spark in the first place?

[Hart]

Okay, because I have to ask.

Did any people die during the 3 days in which they were asleep at the end of Ashan? If so, roundabouts how many? Should we expect to see funerals at the start of Ymiden?

And a personal question.

It said Wren is confused and doesn't remember what happened. He's with Eliza. Does he just not remember CITW, or does he not even remember Hart, the Maze, any of it since he was Wished back?

Thanks!

It would have to be a heck of a bonfire - but in theory yes.

They weren't asleep 3 days exactly - because of timey-wimey and not wanting to stop players not involved from having access to threads for three days - it was more like midnight on the stroke of the season change. But yes, some people will have died.

And a personal question.

Thanks!

I've given Eliza that information in a PM - all is well

[Alistair]

Hello! Some questions about what happened to my PC specifically with Vri and all.

1. If Alistair teaches someone something, will they remember it, but simply not remember who taught them?
1a. If so, how will this manifest? Will it be like... they remember they gained the information but frustratingly can't remember the source, no matter how hard they try?
2. Since people remember his face as the guy who killed Kielik/etc, will people see him and be like... "oh, you're that guy who did the thing..." at face value, and when his remembrance is lost on them they just revert back to that surface understanding of the crime he committed? Just for clarification.
3. What if Alistair never leaves someone's side? I was thinking (just to keep me from going crazy and at least having some NPCs to RP with), Alistair's Revenants will be ordered to stay with him and since they're sentient they'll remember him - they never sleep or anything so they won't leave his company and can provide him with at least the slightest amount of solace. He'd be bonding with the literal dead as a method of coping with the curse of the God of Death lol
4. Can Alistair perform any abilities when incapacitated (coma-death) so that he escapes the grasp of the person who 'killed him'? I was thinking like Dreamwalking (through Crossing), Rupturing or some other thing. If not, I'm assuming he's kind of like to everyone how Immortals are to one another - unable to kill but able to incapacitate, etc?
5. Will PCs blessed by Vri be capable of remembering him due to the uniqueness of their position? I figure since they embody 'Remembrance', and Ali is essentially tagged by Vri they may be an exception...?
6. Does the failure to remember Alistair apply to Immortals as well? And spirits?
7. Is it possible for Alistair to remind people of previous interactions if he manages to communicate with them again on a deeper level?
8. Since Alistair can't die from overstepping now, in an extreme case where he (despite being thrice Revealed) uses so much ether as to get to that point, can he just keep casting and acquiring more and more Heavy Overstepping penalties until his mind/body can't handle it anymore? Again - clarification question. This is what I assume would happen based on magic rules, but just wanna be sure!
9. Very Specific - Initiation Bonds. For example, Ali's Rune of Naming allows the person who initiated him (Fridgar) to fully understand him at his core; every facet of his identity. Could this provide some sort of exception? How will initiation bonds be perceived if someone can't remember him?

That's all for now! Thank you.
