Autumn has properly come to Ivras, and everywhere, the harvest season is in full swing. The monster hunt for the Wasting Miasma is still going on, wreaking havoc on both trade and preparations for winter all around Mead, but also elsewhere in Ivras.

A short but sweet roundup this month; big welcome to all new players and new characters! <3

📯 great hunt: the wasting miasma

So far, despite efforts of monster hunters and mage protectors alike, the fog has proven persistent—but recently, as the weeks have passed, the northern part of Mead has finally begun to emerge from the mists. It seems like the Wasting Miasma has begun to move southwards…

📌 notes and reminders

A note on communication
Roleplay and collaborations are great fun, and clear communication and respect for each others’ boundaries and wishes make it even more so. Always make sure you and your writing partner(s) are comfortable, especially if roleplays touch upon such things as violence, trauma, and darker themes in general. If in doubt, always ask about each others’ preferences!

Questions to staff
If you have a question you want answered by a staff member, we ask you to use #ask-staff or Modmail instead of DMing them directly. Individual staff members may be busy or unavailable, and you are more likely to get a timely answer that way!

Logging prompt responses
When you add entries to your character’s log, make sure you link the prompt response, not the event bulletin or prompt comment! We need to be able to see that you did the prompt : )

✨ october 2023 story prompt

Every month, we provide a brief narrative prompt, with four potential choices for your character to make. Draw or write your character's choice, and receive double gold for your response! Mages will earn a mystery stat point based on their choices, which will be revealed with the next month's prompt.

Prompt responses should tag this profile, and must be worth at least 1 gold of art or writing. You are allowed to submit collaborations and roleplay as responses to the monthly story prompts, but every participating character's choice must be clearly indicated for mods.

Click here (or scroll down to this bulletin's comments!) to view the prompt for October!

Prompt responses should tag this profile, and must be worth at least 1 gold of art or writing. You are allowed to submit collaborations and roleplay as responses to the monthly story prompts, but every participating character's choice must be clearly indicated for mods.
