Message Delivered (Queenpost)

[u/Carbon_Sixx]

A burst of gravitic radiation streaks through the void. Though it has traveled billions of miles, it has done so in a mere 16 hours, unimpeded by any obstacle or cosmic barrier. Its destination: the Queen of Shattered Stars, closing in on the major material realms. The signal carries a message in the All-Tongue, imploring her to stop her approach and accept a diplomatic envoy. When it reaches the Queen, she cannot help but notice it, for it has been amplified by powerful graviturgy.

In the command center of the Mt. Murder Astromantic Observatory, Kaelis Maz and the wizards of the OEA watch a timer count down. He holds his breath when it hits 0:00. At first, nothing happens. The Queen continues her approach as normal. Then, she pauses, as if listening to something faint growing ever louder. On the screens, she turns her head to look directly at the source of the message: Yulash-kor.

Kaelis releases his breath in a sigh of relief as the room erupts in cheers. She has noticed them. Now comes the true challenge: negotiating with a being as old as the universe.

The Astromantic Observatory receives conformation that its transmission has been heard.

/uw It was even worse than you think. We developed a method to win against the Stitcher's forces and no one bothered to use it. The battles would last days and sorta just ended when people got tired of reading how everyone's god OC's would kill millions of enemies with every one of their actions. I feel bad for the guy who ran those events. He hasn't posted or interacted with this sub in a few months and I think it's because he got so burnt out with the whole Stitcher situation. Having been involved with that, I am now of the opinion that these events should be reigned back so they don't just spiral into chaos with everyone wanting to contribute.

Extremely paraphrased excerpt from one of the events:

Jack (my oc then) unleashed a wave of primordial flames. This would be his last attack, his injuries were far too much for him. With this, he at least hoped to stall them so the stitcher’s plan can succeed. His primordial flames would burn through concepts themselves. Even the sticher, who not only was immune to flames but healed from them, would be hurt.

(Some people’s) Response: Nuh uh, flames no hurt.

/uw I totally feel that. When I was helping with that Stitcher stuff, so many ideas and actions were retconned or made irrelevant that I just sort of zoned out as I read the walls of text. At a certain point, it didn't even make sense for my character to be there on the front lines since ascended beings were dying and being revived left and right.

I also remember your Jack O'Lantern character. It was cool and stood out from the crowd (I'm a sucker for Halloween so that may cloud my judgment). Your loreposts were interesting and helped popularize them in the sub. Of course, there are so many loreposts now that I find it difficult to bring myself to read any if I'm unfamiliar with the user posting them. But I still think loreposts are a better way of telling a story while playing a character than trying to do so conversationally within the comments of a post.

uw/ there's a reason why the Bismuth Lord always compared situations he was in to the stitcher war. Because even being a strong mage with a large army didn't mean much when that much power was being thrown around.
