The Unraveling

In a sliver of land wedged between The Shimmering Shore and Fossil Ridge, down in Auster, the earth seems.... unsettled. It appears as though the earth has begun to shift here. Winding channels snake through the soil, visible from above, leaving the surface uneven and disturbed.

New task: Complete 10 navigation threads, scouting this area (minimum 2 participants, 3+ rounds each) to begin to reveal more. Post in the Shimmering Shore, but note the happenings are not on the beach, but further inland. (Complete)

---

Update #4: Creatures of all types note something amiss at The Shimmering Shore, and readily begin to investigate.

Something becomes quickly apparent- there is a sound emanating from deep beneath the ground, and if you pause long and hard you feel movement from below, shifting the soil beneath your paws.

There's only one way to figure out what's going on. You must dig.

WARNING: Digging in The Shimmering Shore from this point on, during this event, can cause minor injuries or other bad, temporary effects to characters.

New task: 30 different characters must dig to uncover more. (Complete)

---

Update #5: The digging begins, triggered by the sound of something shifting down below, all across the vast stretch of unsettled soil. At first, nothing happens—then, suddenly, the ground gives way, collapsing beneath your feet before you can react.

The fall is short enough, though some injuries are sustained.



What lies below is even more perplexing: a sprawling network of winding tunnels stretches out in every direction, spiraling further inland. You can venture deeper, yet no matter how far you explore, you often find yourself back at the beginning. Perhaps you need someone more perceptive to help you navigate this labyrinth?

New task: A character with a perception mutation must explore the tunnels (Completed by Lucius)

---

Update #6:

One particularly perceptive wolf manages to venture deeper into the winding tunnels beneath the ground, and others begin to find their way as after him, deeper and deeper below the surface.

The sound emanating from below becomes even louder, and you feel something nearby rumbling...

Adventurers band together to dive deeper into the depths.

New task: Form a party of characters who wish to dive deeper into the tunnels (1 max character per player) (Complete)

Update #7:

The adventuring party gathers in The Shimmering Shore, and as soon as they come together the world begins to shake violently. The dirt tunnels begin to collapse around them, and everyone begins to panic and scatter, splitting the group up- and trapping them temporarily underground.
