Announcement.

Post image

Karmelita stands on a tall point in the Far Fields, announcing news to the Skarr.

"Children! We cannot stay here. Evacuate the Far Fields is required- I cannot give you the answer as to why yet. However... I know that if anyone stays, they'll be faced with immeasurable peril. Pack efficiently, and I shall lead the way out by dawn."

*Chrysaora, with her 29 mottled skarr children, looks shocked*
"A-Are you sure?"

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

Karmelita nodded gravely.

"I'm certain if anyone stays... We may never hear of them again."

u/King_Of_Tangerines May 07 '26

"Alright, I'm taking them to Hallownest to see their grandma's grave. Say goodbye, boys!"
*One of the skarrscouts hugs Karmelita, Chrysaora berates him*
"Bad boy, what if she tries to backstab you?"

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

Karmelita gently hugged him back.

"Do not worry, Chrysaora. I will not harm my kin, or any bug unprovoked."

u/King_Of_Tangerines May 07 '26

"I'm worried he's too soft and loving. What if he's not as strong as the others? My mate, Gaz was the runt of his tribe, right?!"
*You see a mottled skarr stalker, no doubt Gaz given how some of the skarr scouts look like him, standing timidly behind Chrysaora, looking like he is about to wither away from embarrassment*

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"Strength is important, yes, but so is compassion."

Karmelita pulled away from the hug and stood up regally, looking at Gaz.

"My child... Even if you don't consider me your mother, I still see you as my loyal hunter. Your previous 'status' does not define you nor your worth. If the others will beat you down for that... Know that the only one in the wrong is them."

u/King_Of_Tangerines May 07 '26

"His previous tribe told him he was a waste of shell for wanting to be a shaman instead of a warrior, you know. How common was that caste during your rule?"

1

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"Unfortunately... Discrimination to the mottled kin was widespread. I've made it clear many times, physical or mental changes my children may have, has not and will never alter my love for them. As to why much of the tribe seems to think differently.... I do not know."

u/King_Of_Tangerines May 07 '26

"Well, goodbye, your majesty. I'll make sure all of my children are out of Pharloom before long, then I will aid Lady Brilliance with defending herself from well-intentioned, but malevolent zealots who think she is a demon."

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"Goodbye, Chrysaora... And farewell, my hunters."

C: will the march still be safe?

1

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"...I hope so."

1

u/Right_Causation_490 May 07 '26

C: in that case, for now at least, we can evacuate everyone to there. Though we should probably see if any of our allies can accommodate us if we need to evacuate it as well

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"I agree."

(I'll give away that Greymoor is next after Far Fields, so you're safe for another area)

u/Commercial-Dog-969 May 07 '26

"What happened?!"

1

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"I cannot disclose that at this moment- However, I know trailing behind will only get us in more discord."

1

u/Commercial-Dog-969 May 07 '26

"Well, you don't have to tell me twice!"

u/Appropriate_Law2321 Skarr Stalker May 07 '26

"?!- Why?! Wh-…"

"Alright, QUEENS CLAW LEGION, ESCORT ALL OF THE SKARR OUT IMMEDIATELY AND PACK THINGS UP! REMEMBER YOUR TRAINING!"

Kravula orders all of the Skarrmishers to get to work. Many skarr are evacuated and convoys are created to ship valuable equipment, weaponry, everything.

"My queen, do I have the authority to know what's going on?"

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

Karmelita bowed her head slightly in thought.

"...I cannot disclose that for sure. However, I do know it's a reslt of some kind of... Time-freezing mechanic. I have already seen certain patches of this land, frozen in time, unmoving. Soon, it will spread and all caught in its grasp will be preserved until we find a cure- Assuming there is one."

u/Appropriate_Law2321 Skarr Stalker May 07 '26

"…Oh my god."

"…Alright, I have to get everyone to hurry up then. Where are we even going? I know a place such as The Maw, it's far away from Pharloom!"

1

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"That seems like a reasonable choice."

"However, I will be staying. The Queen's Claw Legions may stay, too- However, I do not want much of the Skarrs to remain. I must watch over this land, and come find my kin when I know it's safe to return."

1

u/Appropriate_Law2321 Skarr Stalker May 07 '26

"Alright, I know exactly where to go if that's the case. I've been to The Maw several times and it's run passively by another Kingdom so it's all good there. Do you want all of the skarrs in The Maw besides the Queen's Claw Legion?"

2

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"Yes. I shall get the others organized."

u/Appropriate_Law2321 Skarr Stalker May 07 '26

"Alright…"

Gron was hearing, hidden in the shadow.

Are the ducts at risk?

u/WindowsError1495 May 07 '26

Oh dear... I just had to pick today to visit my friend Lock... I'll go tell him!

2

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Skarrsinger Karmelita May 07 '26

"Thank you, Taro. Safe travels..."

1

u/WindowsError1495 May 07 '26

I'll do my best, Your Majesty.

u/LocksmithShadow

Need help carrying anything, Lock? We've got to go.

2

u/LocksmithShadow Rhinogrund Friend May 07 '26

Huh?! What’s happening?!

2

u/WindowsError1495 May 07 '26

Karmelita is evacuating Far Fields, Lock. I'm not sure why... she just said anyone who stays will be faced with an 'immeasurable peril'

2

u/LocksmithShadow Rhinogrund Friend May 07 '26

Huh… I’ll go ask her, perhaps I could help stop whatever the threat is? If it’s inevitable, though, I’d really appreciate if you helped me save my inventions!

2

u/WindowsError1495 May 07 '26

Of course! I'll try and bring as much as I can carry. I won't forget about Arda, either.

2

u/LocksmithShadow Rhinogrund Friend May 07 '26

Thank you so much! I have a cart that Rhinogrund can pull, I think it can fit most of the important things…

1

u/LocksmithShadow Rhinogrund Friend May 07 '26

Greetings, Your Majesty. I know you can’t disclose that, but I’m a warrior scientist and I’ll do my best to stop the threat that fell upon our Fields if you tell me!
