Reign of Nightmares ♫ [Epic | Lore] Empty Mon Jun 13, 2022 10:21 pm

Astrid























Name: Reign Of Nightmares

Difficulty: Epic

Participants: Vyra Emrakul

Story:

An artifact unearthed. Its delivery denied. Relaxation stolen. A coup initiated. A Nightmare awoken.

It was never meant to lead to any of this. This was not the path she was meant to walk.

Vyra hoped that going to the Hosenka would be a chance to finally enjoy herself. A vacation. A long overdue break from what had been a truly tiring and draining two years spent within Hargeon, complete with her capture by the Witch Hunters and subsequently joining Blue Pegasus. But that would not come to happen.

Instead she finds herself a key pawn within the shifting and conflicting cultures of the North, a Lord trying to hold onto the old ways of a time now gone, a lone bastion of Illumin having struggled enduring nightmares, a cult growing more and more, and an ambitious daughter that looks to intertwine it all together in a grand power play.

In retrieving Morrigan's Staff, Vyra has knocked down the first domino, with every step causing the next to tumble down. A progression that will affect not only her, but will leave a lasting impact upon the rest of Fiore.

A countess begrudgingly waits her turn upon the throne.

The Sisters fade from the Light in favor of Nightmares.

The Black Gospel lies hidden within the homes of Orchidia.

The Demi-Human shall set it in motion. The Demi-Human shall reap what is sown.

Objective: Having hoped to enjoy an overdue vacation in Hosenka, Vyra quickly finds herself within Orchidia, a key pawn in an bloody game of political theater with a dynamic cast of actors. Sisters of Illumin having survived horrors, a cult that exists within the shadows, a Lord barely keeping his lands, the daughter that seeks to pave her own legacy, and the ancient darkness that lingers over all of them, focused upon the Demi-Human in the middle of it all.

Lore Ramifications:

  • End of the Old Guard: The familicide of the Barothy Lordship at the instruction of the now-Countess Veronica Barothy in conjunction with the apparent aid of the Midnight Cult, leave a feeling of uncertainty throughout North Fiore among the remaining Lords.
  • The Northern Light Awry: Between the staged heroics of the Midnight Cult alongside the rumored actions of the two Sisters within Orchidia, faith in Illumin begins to waiver as a growing percentages begin to follow the route of the Cult, worshipping an entity known only as HER. Much of Fiore still views this as simple heresy.
  • Whispers in the North: Through the whispers and rumors that spread throughout, the Midnight Cult become more of a prevalent boogeyman within the rest of Fiore, including Central and South.
  • The Nightmare: At first plagued by nightmares, Vyra suffers with her dark persona inheriting a taste of the power of Nacht, becoming the Nightmare Dragon Slayer, while Vyra's true persona begins to suffer the residual effects of this.

Type: Bad

Participants:

Vyra Emrakul: The Demi-Human, visiting the Eastern Fiore lands on what was supposed to be a time of vacation and relaxation. Instead, she finds herself hunted upon from all sides, with every actor having their own value and usage for the young girl.

Summary: Although Veronica Barothy's appearance is a welcome one, few recognize the dire implications behind it. By protecting Vyra, Veronica now finds her own survival at risk, due in much part to her father. With his control over the lands weakening by the day, Veronica's objection stands as the latest perceived assault against his reign. Unwilling to allow him to strike, Veronica calls upon Vyra to aid her in securing the throne. To do this, she requires the Demi-Human to reach out to a hidden ally protected by the Sisters, one who would be able to significantly shift the scales in her favor, and with the staff that Vyra acquired, they have the perfect bargaining chip to win them over to their cause.

Others:

Veronica Barothy: The Countess-in-waiting. Veronica has waited years for the chance to erase the weakness that is her father's legacy. With his hold all but lost upon the lands, she views now as the perfect window to strike, and will pave the road to her throne with the blood of her father.

Sister Mara: Like her sister, Mara bore witness to the Nightmare, but was able to salvage her resolve to look past it. However the corruption lingered, albeit at bay. Until Vyra showed up, then the corruption began to show itself once again.

Ser Gholston: One of the Knights under Lord Barothy II, Ser Gholston has served as the bodyguard to the Countess-in-waiting Veronica Barothy. Now her most loyal supporter, Ser Gholston views his loyalty not to the House of Barothy, but to the Barothy Daughter alone.

  • Upon agreeing to help, Vyra will be instructed to join Ser Gholston to locate a Cultist leader that is being housed in secret by the Sisters.
  • The duo will venture out and meet with them, gaining their trust only after presenting the terms of the arrangement, namely the staff that Vyra had taken.
  • Once the deal has been struck, Vyra will remain there as the Cultist leader prepares to break down the next step of Veronica Barothy's plan.

That comes with a scouting party sent to find Veronica Barothy, instead being the victims of an ambush by Vyra and company.

Summary: The campaign against Lord Barothy continues to move forward as his daughter had anticipated. The ambushing of the Barothy forces presented an unexpected boon and despite the weak promises of the cultists regarding the kidnapped villagers' safety, Vyra finds herself feeling more and more uncomfortable with this campaign being waged. Seeking solace from the two Sisters, Vyra comes to understand more about them, including their own interactions with the Nightmare. Hoping to find out more of what they know about her, they are interrupted by the arrival of a Barothy guard unit mobilizing upon the Church.

Summary: Veronica Barothy is safe, but Ser Gholston is in critical condition. Being tended to by the two Sisters, Veronica laments that she and Ser Gholston must have crippled what defenses her father may have had, thus he will attempt to seek shelter while he figures to make an escape. She suspects that Lord Barothy will attempt to seek refuge within the Church, similar to what Vyra had done. If so, it will be in here that Veronica's coup comes to its end and Barothy finally falls. After some time, Ser Gholston's condition seems to improve and signs point to a small caravan advancing upon the Church.

Lord Reginald Barothy II: One of the last remaining Lords within the Northern lands of Fiore, Barothy II has seen grip of his lands slip away over the past several years, accelerated by the actions of Paradise Dawn. Unwavering and cold, he views the slightest offenses against him as warranting of death.

Lady Aria Barothy: Wife to the Lord Barothy. Once held in high regard, her situation has many regarding her more as a prisoner than that of a noble.

Rewards:

  • 10 SP
  • 500 Infamy
  • 500,000 J
  • 15,000 Experience


Objectives:

  • Create a topic in Orchidia.
  • As the Sisters tend to Ser Gholston, Veronica Barothy confides in Vyra, explaining her confidence in her as to the current state of the war.
  • Veronica believes that her father will attempt to seek refuge within the Church until he can escape the North, much like Vyra's situation.
  • Unable to do much more at the moment, Vyra, Veronica, and the rest of their key people are forced to wait.
  • After a lengthy amount of time has passed, the sounds of a caravan advancing will draw everyone's attention, particularly to the old man in the center of it all, Lord Barothy.
  • While the Lord and his company take refuge within the Church, Vyra will attack, slaughtering what remains of the Barothy forces.
  • As Lord Barothy lay dying, Vyra will make sure that he witnesses firsthand the face upon his daughter as she delights in his death.


Name: The Nightmare Upon Us

Rank: S

Type: Bad

Participants:

Vyra Emrakul: The Demi-Human, tainted by the Nightmare. Its essence now exists within her, where her darker persona imbues itself with its power and she now finds herself fighting to resist.

Summary: Lord Barothy II is dead. Waging a violence coup that turned the shaky support that he still had against him, his lone daughter, Veronica Barothy has successfully taken the throne. With the Midnight Cult having fulfilled their end of the arrangement, they await their payment in the form of the ancient staff that set all of this forward. Now, only one thing remains before her campaign has truly reached its conclusion; the death of Lord Barothy's most loyal soldier, the now-transformed Werewolf, Ser Gallahan. Driven into an absolute bloodlust, he looks to slaughter everyone, from Vyra to Veronica to the entirety of the Cult. Upon tapping into the Nightmare that has begun to infest her, Vyra makes her stand against the enraged Knight, aided in a final showing by Ser Gholston that stands to claim both Knights. As the dust settles and none remain to challenge Veronica Barothy, all that remains is for the Sisters to show Vyra exactly what they saw, what they see in her, and what is to come. With a long forgotten ritual, Vyra is taken to a realm far beyond this, with her eyes cast upon what can only be described as the absolute Nightmare that will leave her forever affected.

Others:

Sister Talia: A fallen Sister of Illumin who walked away from the faith upon encountering the Nightmare. She believed self-mutilation would erase what she had seen, which for a time disappeared. But with Vyra's arrival, she has begun to see them again.

Sister Mara: Like her sister, Mara bore witness to the Nightmare, but was able to salvage her resolve to look past it. However the corruption lingered, albeit at bay. Until Vyra showed up, then the corruption began to show itself once again.

Ser Gholston: One of the Knights under Lord Barothy II, Ser Gholston has served as the bodyguard to the Countess-in-waiting Veronica Barothy. Now her most loyal supporter, Ser Gholston views his loyalty not to the House of Barothy, but to the Barothy Daughter alone.

Veronica Barothy: The Countess-in-waiting. Veronica has waited years for the chance to erase the weakness that is her father's legacy. With his hold all but lost upon the lands, she views now as the perfect window to strike, and will pave the road to her throne with the blood of her father.

Nightmare Manifestation: A loose representation of the Nightmare as it currently exists within the realm. Per what it is, whether it stands as a mere fragment of its absolute power or an illusion, it revels in the absolute terror and fear drained upon the world, drawing strength to whatever its true form truly is.


Enemies:

Ser Gallahan: Lord Barothy's secret weapon. Driven by rage, a sense of failure, and unbridled fury, Ser Gallahan embraces his true self, once again becoming a High Werewolf to slaughter all enemies of the fallen Lord Barothy.

Soldiers (3): Foot soldiers flying the flag of Lord Barothy, they are both the sword and shield of His rule, His authority, and His proper. Provided standard armor, they possess expected defenses at the cost of speed. Weaponry varies.

Rewards:

  • 10 SP
  • 500 Infamy
  • 500,000 J
  • 15,000 Experience
  • Mythic Custom
  • Lore Ramifications Carried Out


Objectives:

  • Create a topic in Orchidia.
  • With Lord Barothy dead, it appears that the time for celebration is finally here for Lady Veronica Barothy.
  • That is, except for the arrival of the Werewolf Ser Gallahan, intent on slaughtering the traitor daughter and all of her allies.
  • Matched against Vyra, the Werewolf seems unstoppable, until a combination of her strongest Nightmare capabilities and a final stand by the wounded, but stable, Ser Gholston.
  • In the wake of that battle, nothing left remains of Lord Barothy's forces. His support is gone. Anything that remains of his reign is gone, having been succeeded by Veronica.
  • With the war over, the Sisters show Vyra what they had begun to discuss earlier. What they saw, what they see in her, and what is to come.
  • Conducting a forgotten ritual, the Sisters send Vyra to an unknown realm where she encounters pure Nightmare.
  • After that encounter, she will return, Veronica having left for her Keep, while the Sisters offer Vyra a parting gift, wishing her the best in what is to come.

Blue pegasus members can only complete good and neutral quests, regardless of assumptions made the user must first leave the guild if they want to complete this storyline with bad quests interwoven.

Based on all latest conversations, things should be resolved, I hope.

@Vyra Emrakul may start their storyline. Since it is an Epic Storyline, it has a bit more lenience in terms of possibilities. Therefore, Vyra is allowed to do Bad Quests as a member of Blue Pegasus, however, they must immediately leave Blue Pegasus afterward as a repercussion of their actions. This must be immediately done in a topic after completion of the Reign of Nightmares storyline and may not be stalled. Should the topic be stalled either willingly or unwillingly due to conflicting schedules, Vyra will be removed forcefully from Blue Pegasus without being able to wrap up their departure IC.
