Just a review for those who have been in the game and those new to it or just joining.
I run this with a short tutorial, usually a solo event, for new players/characters then put those that stick around into one of the groups. Groups are primarily organized by preferred posting rates. I request players post a minimum of once a week but am flexible for newcomers in the tutorial session.
Currently there are 3 active group stories
1. The Manor (1+/weekday) : A noble and ancient house has been found and and heir returned to their roots. Help the heiress, Sylfir Alderdrim, reclaim her family's' heritage by restoring order and peace to the manor house, grounds, and surrounding buildings.
2. Curing Eldergroove (3+/week): An ancient city lost to a curse waiting for those brave enough to help restore the balance that once held sway allowing for prosperity and peace to it and the surrounding area.
3. Descent into the Underdark (1/weekday): Explore the reaches underground while helping secure the Expeditions subterranean borders. Hunt vicious monsters, find new trade partners, wander the labyrinthian depths of the Underdark.
There are also 4 ongoing inactive stories
Some characters have touched on these but none are the driving force of a group story at this time
A : The Dragon : An ancient and powerful dragon moved near to the city of Paphos. So far they have had little dealing with the Expedition though their kobold servants have clashed with the gobin, hobgoblin, and orc forces.
B : The Matrix : This ancient magic allows for instantaneous transportation to other known Matrix Nodes allowing the people of the Dawn age to enjoy the diversity of the world though its connections. Help reclaim this forgotten technology as you visit its remote locations and discover new uses of its enchantments.
C : The Necromancers : Created as a weapon of last resort during the Dawn wars, Necromancy has been twisted to an even darker purpose. Those who meddle with the powers of life and death are establishing a foothold in the nearby cemetery of Paphos, to what ends you know not. Stop these
D : The Infinite Tower : A powerful artifact of the Dawn Age built to collect and protect the knowledge of all mortal Peoples. Now broken and of limited power, its wardens seek aid in restoring it by procuring needed resources and reclaiming lost components. Help them in their work and they can show you the wonders of the cosmos.
