Breaking News - Attack on Etude Guild

On [DATE] at [TIME], the Etude Guild was invaded and a midrank member murdered, as well as the tower sustaining extensive fire damage in one localized area. Two intruders were seen escaping the premises, one an unknown creature with a black shell, horns, and long wings, the other a seemingly ordinary man with ginger hair.

The victim’s name was Ephior, zoologist and alchemist who sought to combine these fields. Coworkers who knew him say he was ambitious and dedicated to his craft, and believe his work was motive in his murder. The perpetrators were seen carrying a cage containing a small gray animal with markings strikingly similar to the demonic looking intruder who set flame to the building as they exited.

As for the tower itself, a hallway containing the lab used by Ephior was burned and small parts of the ceiling melted. Guild members hard at work on restoring the tower have stated that being near the scene of the conflagration invokes intense feelings of unease and fear beyond natural means, making it difficult to begin repairs.

The Etude Guild has ramped up security since to avoid further incidents, and seeks any information on who the two may have been.

NPCs are defined by Aevum Isles as background and minor characters that are free to use by members of Aevum Isles. Their role is to push interactions forward as contributed by both parties.

In Indian fashion, sarees have always been a symbol of elegance, grace, and timeless beauty. However, not all sarees are reserved for grand occasions and festive gatherings. Some, like linen and cotton sarees, embody a simpler, more relaxed elegance that makes them perfect for everyday wear while still exuding sophistication. At Aevum, we understand the modern woman’s need for versatility, comfort, and style, which is why our collection features pure linen sarees, mulmul cotton sarees, and Bengal cotton sarees—each crafted to enhance your daily look with effortless charm.

Nano Day 6

So I am not updating daily or even close. I’ll update when stuff happens or when I’m procrastinating on studying. Anyway. I cannot believe how much of this is just dialogue and characters being ridiculous. Action scenes should start tomorrow or so, hopefully.

Word count: 23,162/50,000 

Goals: Get to the action already holy shit (...soon...)

Snippet:

“Aza.” She gets up from the chair without even realizing she’s doing it, kneeling beside the bed and automatically taking Aza’s hands--cold, not just cool but cold--in hers. “What is it?” 

She’s pushed too hard, she thinks. She hasn’t even brought it up yet but somehow Aza must know, must be trying to figure out how to tell her no, she doesn’t want to do that, so sorry—

“They don’t believe me,” says Aza quietly. She’s staring at the bedspread now, eyes damp but mouth steady. “I told them what I saw, and because it isn’t what they want to hear they don’t believe me. They won’t listen. I have to--I have to contact the Visionaries myself, I have to reach out, because they won’t do anything and if they don’t do anything people will die—”

She cuts herself off and turns, those deep green eyes now focused on Ebony, and they are ancient and just a little feral. Terrifying. Beautiful. “You said you would help me leave.”

“I will,” Ebony promises, breathless and trying to find her balance. “I can. I have a plan, I just--we have to talk about it, we have to decide what to do—”

“I have to intercept the Visionaries,” says Aza. “Before they can come here. Tell me your plan.” 

So Ebony takes another breath, and tells her. She goes through it in careful, conscientious detail, even more so than she had with Petranna--this is Aza’s entire life they’re talking about. “And then Sparrow will be waiting for us outside the basement entrance,” she finishes. “She’ll take us...well, I was gonna say anywhere you want to go, but if you want to go to the Visionaries…” She trails off.

The Visionaries live, have always lived, in protected seclusion. Ebony thinks it might be somewhere in the mountains, but that’s as close as she can guess. She has no idea where to take Aza, if that’s where she wants to go.

“They’ll be on their way soon,” says Aza. “If they aren’t already. We can just meet them on the way. They’ll believe me.” A soft glow of red lights the room and her hand closes tightly around the shard of crystal that appears in front of her. “This will speak for me, if nothing else.” 

“And…” Ebony’s almost sorry to bring it up, but it has to be said. “And after?”

Aza turns, looks at her, frightening in her focus. “After?”

“After you warn them. After we get out. You—” she fumbles, hesitates, blurts out, “you don’t have to come back here. If you don’t want to. I was going to leave, I was going to get away years ago but I’ve just kept waiting all this time and I think I was waiting for you. In six months I’ll be twenty and no one can tell us what to do after that, you could be free forever if you wanted--I was going to go to Novus Aevum, it’s big, it’s a good place to hide. You could--if you want--you could come with me? We could go together.” The words trail off and her cheeks are already burning.

Aza stares at her for a long time.

Tagging: @falling--in--place, @writekaywrite, @tinbramble, @toboldlywrite, @lady-redshield-writes. I know there used to be others who were on this list but then I died for months. Remind me if that’s you! (Or let me know if you want to be untagged!)

If you’re looking for buddies on the new NaNo site, I’d love to be friends. Find me at Silencia del Umbrae!

Breaking News - Explosion at AIPD Leaves Casualties, Many Without Power

Shortly after midnight, a large explosion went off in the Clearview District. Analysts say that the exact cause of the explosion is unknown, but that it was primarily triggered by a large quantity of high-voltage electrical power. The AIPD headquarters, where the blast is deemed likely to have originated, was completely destroyed, and surrounding buildings suffered significant damage, with many now deemed unsafe. Reports have come in from all throughout the district of residents experiencing power outages and electrical surges, and all electrical equipment within radius of the blast has stopped working.

Though exact casualty numbers are yet unknown, a source within the AIPD confirms that two Echoes who were currently confined within the jail appear to have been killed in the blast.

The AIPD will continue to investigate the cause of the explosion, and requests that all citizens keep their distance beyond the designated police line. There does not seem to be any further threat to the city at this time.

Further details of this story will be released as it develops. For more information, see HERE.

Breaking News - Battle Between Echos Leaves One Dead And Many Without Power

The AIPD reports the blackout in East Clearview was caused by a fight between two Echoes that resulted in property damage, several injuries, and the death of one Echo. Witnesses report a young man with white hair and dark clothes was seen manipulating electricity and throwing several metal poles at the victim, identified as the Echo Legato Bluesummers. 

The AIPD suspects this may be the same young man responsible for the death of the Echo Lilith Elysian, and ask that both Echoes and residents be aware that he is dangerous and unpredictable. Authorities request that anyone with further information come forward, and are continuing their investigation into both the previous murder and this one. Repair crews are hard at work to restore the damaged buildings and return power to affected residents.

Aevum Daily will continue to follow the story as it unfolds. For further details, see here.

NIGHTMARE MOSS CONSUMES CRYSTAL HEIGHTS

A mass outbreak of Nightmare Moss inside of the Crystal Heights Mall this past Monday left 18 encased, and 13 more in critical condition.

The outbreak has been marked as one of the most dense so far, while smaller outbreaks have been noted in the following districts:

Downtown Arcanus

Clearview District

Rosewood District

and most likely, more.

The AIPD has closed Crystal Heights for quarantine, and droid units have been sent in for further investigation of the moss' origin point.

Citizens are urged to avoid any and all sightings of the Nightmare Moss, as there is no confirmed safe way to retrieve a consumed individual from the moss.

Fanalean leader, Theodore Watson is working closely with Chief Victoria Stalwart and Lady Larkin of the Padedeu Temple to designate safe havens for those still safe from the moss. The first of which is designated by the temple in Silverbrook Hollow.

More updates on the way.

Stay safe, everybody.

Arcanus Archives Entries.

AN ALCHEMICAL ACCOUNT OF MODERN MEDICINES, by Lois Settara

(This historical document, found on the second floor of the Arcanus Archives, is mostly intact. It is, however, very old, and shows its wear and tear in water damage that renders some areas of the passage unreadable.)

Hypnum Insomnis Cupressiforme (otherwise known as Nightmare Moss) was a species of plant that was once used as a sleep-inducing medicine, due to the flowers of and leaves of this plant producing powerful narcotic properties. This medicine was known as MintWhiler’s Sopite.

However, historians now know that Nightmare Moss was a direct cause of various tragedies throughout the history of Arcanus Isle. Including ——— —— . At the time, those who ingested MintWhiler’s Sopite did find that they were more quickly able to sleep soundly, but soon thereafter, it was clear for all to see that this new medicine was actually —— ——. Those who took the draught to help their insomnia progressively failed to gain the very sleep they had once gone to this medicine for. They reported an increase in nightmares and night terrors, and progressively acted more and more erratically the longer they took their required dose. 

Those who doubled their doses in the hopes of rectifying their newfound inability to sleep would later report vivid hallucinations that afflicted their sight, hearing, and state of mind. While some would continue to only grow progressively more and more drowsy (reportedly sleeping in later and later despite outside interference), others grew despondent, showing a sharp increase in depressive moods, while others still became violent with strangers on the street, allegedly being followed and ‘attacked’ by the very people they themselves assaulted. 

It quickly became apparent that the cause of these widespread afflictions was none other than the petals and pollen used in MintWhiler’s Sopite, But although the narcotic was swiftly discontinued and removed from alchemists shelves, the consequences of using MintWhiler’s Sopite would continue to become more and more apparent in rapid succession, making the medicine and the Nightmare Moss a direct, leading cause of —– ——— – terrors.
