Event Description

IC:

Greetings, adventurers!

Many of you are familiar with the formerly-invading-the-Realms civilization known as the Risen Kingdom. Last November, an enterprising group of you journeyed through their subterranean portal to investigate the world from which they attacked. Judging by the stories I heard and Militia reports, their natural resources seem depleted, their wildlife ferocious and strangely numerous, their civilians downtrodden, their military...elsewhere. That being the case, we'd like to try and gather more information about their world and what happened there to prompt their attack on the Realms.

We've found pieces of the Risen Kingdom's history through Dreams, magic, and interrogation, but lack the full picture. Do we provide aid to a wayward people? Should we cleanse a tide of interplanar corruption? A more coherent understanding of the situation would better inform our actions going forward.

With this in mind, Chimeron is organizing a second expedition through the portal for August 29th, 1020. If you are interested in coming along, please meet at the Militia encampment before noon. Should you have any questions in advance, you may address them to me.

Cordially,
Sir Saka Keeneye, Warlord of Chimeron


OOC:

To play, you must pre-register by filling out this quick form:
reg.rtc.fyi

This event will be held virtually in a custom-built Minecraft server, using the Java Edition of the game. If you don't own the game, the RealmsCraft team has 3 loaner accounts available.

Similar to the RealmsCraft Questing events, it will be fully in character. As those who've attended the RealmsCraft Questing events know, this format allows for immersive world-building and mechanical opportunities to balance the loss of face-to-face interaction.

Unlike the RealmsCraft Questing events:

  • This will be a single quest spanning between 3 and 6 hours.
  • This quest will not be repeated.
  • We are setting a cap of 25 players.
  • This quest and the consequences thereof will be canon in the Risen Kingdom storyline.

Pre-reg List:

  1. Ryan W. (Orion)
  2. Tyler C. (Thoril)
  3. Patrick M. (Quill)
  4. Pi F. (Kwido, probably)
  5. Beth T. (Freesia)
  6. Emily M. (Kara)
  7. Matt B. (Cecil)
  8. Ethan K. (Alias)
  9. Charlie P. (Anton)
  10. Janna P. (Iawen)
  11. Owen W. (Balthazar)

12 - 25 Available

Rules Changes and Notes

A few days before the event, staff will contact you with an invitation to the RealmsCraft Discord server, along with the necessary information to connect to the Minecraft server for this quest.

Your character might experience one or more effects comparable to those in our standard list of combat calls. Full details may be found here:
effects.rtc.fyi

We will be making use of the RealmsCraft character build system. It is a slightly-simplified version of the Realms Rules applied through customizations to Minecraft's gameplay mechanics. Players will have the opportunity to experiment with how spells and equipment work prior to the quest. This announcement will be updated once the server is open for players to log in and try things out.

Player and NPC action in this quest will affect future in-person and/or virtual events we run.

Other Notes

While content will be ongoing for the full duration of the event, we will be encouraging our players to take short breaks every 60-90 minutes to stretch their legs, get some water, etc. Hydration is important at virtual quests, too!

Feel free to message Pat Bobell with any questions prior to the event, and staff will be able to answer questions day-of.
