Why I Want To Go - KosD Questing 3 Pt. 2

 By Max “Azimuth” McCalla

People of the Realms, as the air cools and the leaves begin to fall, we are once again given the opportunity to return to Blackavar.

During my previous time in these lands, I saw a unique duality in place for us adventurers. On one side, we met the nobles of Blackavar. We talked with them, participated in their politics, helped them shape the future of their nation. On the other, we saw a novel and dangerous threat in the form of the harrowed enemies who opposed us.

Throughout our time in Blackavar and the lands beyond, I believe that we have been given a unique opportunity to influence the area for the better. I have seen bountiful opportunities to make your mark, be it through questing in the day or night, or through the social systems throughout.

I am looking forward to meeting the people of Archendell, this new settlement of Blackavar. I hope that we can all aid them in their research, and any necessary defense to keep them safe from the Harrowed.

And more than anything else, I look forward to our first venture into the Harrowed lands. For the good of Blackavar and beyond, we must make progress towards stopping the harrowing. And if nothing else, we should at least ensure that Archendell and Blackavar as a whole stay safe.

But not all that is Harrowed is evil, and not all that is Harrowed is lost. Like some others, I myself have taken on some levels of Harrowing, and in exchange, I wield a sword equipped with the power of war itself. This is a power I intend to use to defend Blackavar and my other allies, at any necessary cost to myself.

Because friends, powerful beings think that they can write our story, and it is up to us to prove them wrong.

In addition to our return to Blackavar and venture into the Harrowed lands, a set of new opportunities awaits us on the final day of our quest. 

Three calls have been sent, and I hope to see you respond. With feral dragons, a troublesome sickness, and a mysteriously abandoned village, many folks seem to need our help and I hope all who are near answer the call. 

May your spells fly free and your blades strike true,

OOC:

KoSD Questing is the plot series that I am the most excited about right now. When I went to KoSD 2, the open world questing felt well-done and a refreshing twist on a typical questing formula. In my experience, the EHs have brought an extremely high level of passion and creativity to the plotwriting, props, and storytelling. This is also an event series that caters well to new players, giving them opportunities to interact with the plot and get more involved in our game as a whole. I am so ready to see where this next chapter goes.

And as for Sunday, storytellers brings in 3 new event holders. Nixon, Kyra, and Matthew are folks who I have a great deal of respect for, and I am excited to see what they have prepared. With the backing of the KoSD and their passion, 

I am hoping for great things!

Why I Want To Go - KOSD Questing 3 Pt. 1

 By Justin "Alder" Thibeault

To Whom it may Concern,

It has been many months since my last visit to the lands of Blackavar, and I, Alder Blackthorn, have missed it greatly. While this journey will not take us back to Blackavar Proper, it will bring us to the settlement of Archendell. And I, for one, am excited to meet more of the citizens of these lands. During our last trip we met the nobility of Blackavar, descendents of the original Knights of the Sable Dragon, and how the noble houses had evolved over time.

Now of course we must do research into the Harrowed and other creatures that go bump in the night that are plaguing the new settlement. For the innocent settlers of Archendell must be protected, and I do beseech you, dear reader, to help me in this endeavor. After all, if we allow that dastardly fiend to continue to wreak havoc on the lands of Blackavar, there is no telling what may happen to the rest of the Realms. 

There are also the Harrowed Lands, unknown to myself, but nonetheless likely dangerous and in need of our intervention to keep it from encroaching on the civilized parts of Blackavar. I do not know what there could be in these lands, but I know what we have encountered before, and I do not desire to let them gain any advantage. Though these Harrowed creatures are not evil, when I asked Vandor this question before, and so perhaps they can be saved. But as a Vandorian, should they make any move to attack, I will be sure to stop it with all my power I can muster. 

As always as adventurers there is plenty for us to seek, and Blackavar is no different. The people need our help and we must answer the call. 

I look forward to seeing you all on the field.

OOC: I loved KOSD2 last year, it was some of the most fun I have had at an event in a very long time, and I really hope to repeat that this year. This event team is an insanely talented group of story tellers and prop makers that have crafted an amazing story and it has literally only just started. And speaking of just starting, I am also super excited to see what our new Storytellers modules have in store for us! They all sound really interesting and I look forward to assisting on the western flank. Hope to see many of you there!
