Soulless Forest Altar
10-16-2022, 07:21 PM
Soulless Forest and the surrounding lands of Stylianos Crypt, Buffalo Knolls, The Orchard, The Rio Grande, and Traveller’s Pitfall are all affected by a magical autumn, additionally, each land seems to have manifested rotting corpses, pools of dried blood, partial sets of various skeletons as well as the occasional ethereal whisper heard through the fog. Where the fog is thickest, you find a statue:
A massive three-headed wolf is seated upon a thick marble slab. The middle face is entirely skeletal, while the left and right most heads seem only partially flayed. On each skeletal side of the outermost wolves, the eyes are mere sockets. A firefly is nested inside that rather than glowing, seems to absorb all light. Their expressions are harsh and judgemental, and the fireflies in place of the eyes seem to move to follow you. At the statue’s base on the slab before it are two stone candles, both unlit, and between them a single, small crow.
The altar here is silent as the grave, despite the very obviously living familiars, they all manage to move around in absolute silence, not a single creak of a bat's wings, not a single ruffling of feathers from the ravens, and not even a mew from the cats. Instead, they look at you with intense expectation. The chill in the air isn't the pleasant cool of autumn anymore, instead, it's a cold that cuts to the bone and fills you with a feeling of foreboding. You understand implicitly that you need to consider your offering carefully, something here is watching and waiting...

Make an IC post in this thread of your character making an offering on the altar before the statue found in the Soulless Forest. 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. Collaboration and discussion between site members is not required, though it is allowed!
Deadline for offering: October 30th 9PM PST
All submissions must be posted by the deadline with no exceptions
