God's Garden Altar
10-16-2022, 03:13 PM
God's Garden and the surrounding lands of Amron’s Castle, Starlight Plains, Cedar Falls, Fossil Ridge, Wraith’s Woods, and Aspen Dam are all affected by a magical autumn. Additionally each land seems to have become overrun with new and flourishing plant growth. Berries that shouldn't be in season are at peak ripeness. Flowers normally relegated to other climates are prospering, bees floating lazily between unfamiliar blooms - and delicious creatures of prey are everywhere. Animals are procreating out of season, making them unusually bold. Hidden nests are flush with new clutches of eggs. In the center of the green, green garden you find a statue:
A wolf carved from smooth alabaster seems to grow straight out of the ground. There is a warm, maternal energy that seems to emanate from it. Two adoring puppies are placed at its feet, glancing upwards toward the central figure. A few stripped carcasses lie around their feet - some of them are certainly bones, but others appear as if they might be carved from the same white stone. It's difficult to tell. Thick, healthy creeping vines twine around the main figure's paws and legs, ending in delicate leaves. The earth beneath it is fragrant, freshly turned soil - perfect for encouraging growth. The air is heavy with the herbaceous smell of new plant life.
The antlers surrounding the divot in the ground have had fresh flowers woven around them and the tailless tenrecs amble about in seemingly high spirits, are there more of them now? You're not sure it's so hard to keep track of them long enough to actually count them. One of them beckons you forward with a smile, is it the same tenrec from earlier? You're also not sure. "Good to see you!" They say, looking up at you expectantly, clearly happy you picked this statue out of all of them. "I trust you picked your offering with care hmm?" They fix you with a pointed look. "I know this statue gives a very kindly impression but even we can't guess how the gods will react now that they're much more powerful. Ah, but I'm sure you'll be fine!" They wave their little hand and gesture for you to give over your offering.

Make an IC post in this thread of your character making an offering on the altar before the statue found in the God's Garden. Each character may only make a single offering. Each player may only participate in 8 total events this week. Note: For the purpose of not making people read and memorize every single post, you can assume the familiars are actively shuffling things around to make more room, and it’s totally fine to say that you put down flowers on the same area where someone else just put a pelt.
Deadline for offering: October 30th 9PM PST
All submissions must be posted by the deadline with no exceptions
