February 2023 Roundup

This year's Feast of Flowering is almost here, marking the beginning of the new Ivratian year. Already, people have begun to construct effigies and prepare for the festivities. Spring has finally come to Ivras!

This month we bring you a bunch of new characters, two new story prompts, and Anathema's second anniversary ๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you to MisMantis for coming up with a player-made story prompt this month.

๐Ÿ’ event: the feast of flowering returns

Last year, one year after the corruption of Archmage Hagia, the Feast of Flowering celebrations were subdued, and in some cases, canceled entirely. This year's celebration will certainly be more well-attended than the last.

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks! The event will be announced in Discord and a bulletin, as usual.

March-april 2023 Player-made Story Prompt:


What started as a whisper has grown to a full-fledged rumor: tunnels and passageways have been discovered under the great roots of the Namarast tree. Exactly where they lead is unclear, but in any case, they could prove a useful way into Namarast.

It seems like some people could use this to their advantage...


Your character learns about these tunnels. What do they do with the information?

  1. Go out and explore the tunnels, out of curiosity or personal gain. Your character has earned +1 Power.
  2. Get in contact with the people trying to free mages and offer their assistance. Your character has earned +1 Discipline.
  3. The Order needs to know about this; inform them as soon as possible. Your character has earned +1 Corruption.
  4. Tunnels? No thanks, someone else can take care of it! Your character has earned -1 Cost. If your character already has 0 Cost, you may choose to take +1 Corruption instead.

Prompt responses must be worth at least 1 gold (i.e. at least 100 words or at least an uncolored headshot).
Upload your response like any other art or literature submission, tag this character profile, and claim your gold; collect double your total count for prompt responses. You may submit collabs and RP as prompt responses, but every participating character's choice must be clearly indicated for mods.

March 2023 Story Prompt:


Winter has finally released its grip on Ivras. With the coming spring, a less welcome visitor has arrived: a horde of rats. Maybe it's the warmer days that have woken up the small creatures, or the lean winter has driven them to seek out the storehouses and granaries of Ivras' farmsteads, but they have been seen in larger towns and cities as well.

Many areas are swarmed by themโ€”curiously, often near waterways where the mysterious potion bottles were found earlier.


Your character has found themselves with a bit of a rat problem too. What do they do?

  1. Helpfully point out the problem to someone in charge. Your character has earned +1 Discipline.
  2. Take care of it yourself. Your character has earned +1 Power.
  3. Ask someone else for help. Your character has earned -1 Cost. If your character already has 0 Cost, you may choose to take +1 Corruption instead.
  4. Lure them away and make them go somewhere else. Your character has earned +1 Corruption.

Prompt responses must be worth at least 1 gold (i.e. at least 100 words or at least an uncolored headshot).
Upload your response like any other art or literature submission, tag this character profile, and claim your gold; collect double your total count for prompt responses. You may submit collabs and RP as prompt responses, but every participating character's choice must be clearly indicated for mods.
