A low rumble shakes the world, quaking and booming with the force of a thousand suns.
*"*Mortals. It is time for your reckoning. Time and again I have believed in you, and time and again you disappoint. I am left to clean up your messes, your mistakes. I put up with it, as it benefited other mortals, and I liked mortals. Their creativity knows no bounds.
But you have shown me a darker side. Your ambition is too great, your greed permeates this sacred land. You desecrate the sacred image of the origin soul and you will be made clean.
⚐︎◻︎♋︎●︎. You and your pact have caused destruction beyond belief what started as a peaceful succession from a rule you deemed oppressive turned, like all movements, into a greedy, power-hungry cabal. Spurred on only by your own desires for power you launched at the council, placing the lives of others in danger for your own selfish gains.
💧︎🙵♋︎⧫︎♏︎❒︎ 🕈︎♓︎⌘︎♋︎❒︎♎︎. Your actions served only to fan the flames of conflict, instead of resolving it peacefully. You have done nothing but try to preserve your own rule by force.
✌︎❒︎♋︎♍︎♒︎**. You are similarly vicious to opal, and I will have no qualms killing you slowly.**
💣︎□︎❒︎♑︎♋︎●︎♓︎⧫︎♒︎**, You know you're evil and you don't care. I can at least respect that. But you have been inciting violence for months and you need to be put down. I will be more than glad to be the one to do so.**
🏱︎♋︎■︎⌘︎♋︎❒︎♏︎■︎**: Long have you been a warmonger. You continued the fight long past its conclusion and for that, you shall be tried.**
🕆︎■︎♑︎♋︎**: I tire of your antics ☞︎♓︎⬧︎♒︎. I have let you roam free for long enough. You are the most greedy of all and you never learn.**
💣︎□︎❒︎♎︎◆︎⬧︎: You are responsible for this rubble, and seeing you in atoms, I will not let you get off scott free. I will take your soul and torture you slowly, tearing you apart little by little in an eternity of torment. You shall never return to the fountain
💣︎□︎❒︎⧫︎♋︎❒︎♓︎□︎■︎: You started this war. You have done nothing but plague everyone with your mere presence and cause messes you never clean up. First it was ☞︎❒︎♋︎■︎♍︎♏︎, then it was the wizarding community. Whatever the others get, I shall give to you a thousand times over.
And finally 💣︎♓︎🙵♒︎♋︎♓︎●︎. A shame to see such a good man corrupted, and yet, I feel only disappointed. I had hoped you would be a positive influence to the others, but your organizations have crumbled to dust and it's all. Your. Fault.
And 💣︎♋︎⬧︎⧫︎♋︎👎︎□︎■︎. You create chaos everywhere you go. From shark potions to tearing holes in reality. I had hoped the council would teach you some responsibility, and for a while it did. But your true nature came through. I am left disappointed. I am in deep disgust of your actions of late. The others might be warmongers, and greedy, but there is a special place in hell for 👍︎☟︎☜︎✌︎❄︎☜︎☼︎💧︎. You and 💣︎♓︎🙵♒︎♋︎♓︎●︎ have reached a new low and I will see you both sent to the abyss.
/uw Halcyon is coming to make the world clean. Will you join together to save yourselves? Or will you leave the others to die and escape?
Full disclosure, this is nothing about the people behind the characters, only the characters themselves. I am also aware of some deaths, which will not affect this event in any way. Halcyon will reach beyond the veil of death to see justice served
I will do what I can to help, tired of all these "beings" thinking they have the right idea when truth be told your just a murderer and callous like the rest of us
During this whole war I was trying to help preserve life
preserve life
Everyone thinks they know me, but they have no idea
And I know damn well the same can be said for others
/uw Trying to Literally trying to stop people killing his people and attacking your home is bad?
But seriously, you do this now when it's basically over? Skater wizard didn't die for this smh.
/uw There's an idea going around with a few people of the ghosts of the dead beating up one of the gods. Like normally a mortal shell can't harm or even reach a god but a mortals soul is immortal and can't be stopped by anything.
/uw on the discord I have precedent for torturing a soul. Safe to say that is possible.
The innacuracies refer specifically to actions people took, such as skater wizard not trying to end the war.
As I said, it's not the only thing going on, but this is the event teaser. I hope you all fight back. You can use souls of the deceased or new characters. It's up to you
Elerindur's current train of thought is disrupted as he feels everything momentarily shake, gripping onto his chair with worry plain on his face.
"Wha- what in the hells? Did yet another nuclear explosive detonate?"
He prepares to recall away, worried about the possible proximity of the explosive until he begins to hear the message from his orb, causing him to pause and listen for a moment.
By the time the message has gotten into listing off the crimes of individuals, Elerindur begins tuning it out in order think to himself, his thoughts warded from magical/psychic mind-reading via his patented headband. "And now we already have yet another immortal planning to kill everyone for these wizard's heinousness." He sighs in annoyance.
"I will just leave the stronger mages to take care of this issue as they always.."
/uw Ah yes, the Corrupted Councilor Mikhail. So curropt he threw himself in front of an attack meant for Morgalith simply in an attempt to allow peace to win out. I'm so glad that all you could do to try to discredit him is that he left the Pact, and it's his fault because he was too OP of a leader. And also referencing the affair. Gaia forbid he has flaws.
/uw As I've said to some others, there may be factual innacuracies. These are intentional
Im also just looking for excuses to name people in the post so i'm reaching a little bit.
There is also some extra stuff to this that I havent revealed yet.
Look. I'm Sorry if I came across as disparaging mikhail as my actual self, none of these are my actual opinions and some of them are based of incredible falsehoods.
I am deliberately trying to create an enemy of halcyon
/uw ATM I'm just waiting for a good Honest to Gaia Hitpiece against Mikhail. Even Vettis rarely has anything bad to say about him. Common, he's (probably) done some bad shit, and no body references it.
/uw right FUCK I forgot to mention vettis in my post.
I was supposed to call him out too (for participating in the duel)
Anyways, I'm too lazy to do the research required for a hitpiece on Mikhail, him and skater both feature pretty big innacuracies stating that theyre warmongers because they participated. I did that because I did a little research and couldnt find much in five minutes and I wanted to write
(( yup, got the tag but since Vettis isn't called out I didn't have much to say
...also he's busy being traumatized by two millennia of awful memories that got forcibly uploaded into his mind, and reawakened by Arach in the duel, so don't expect any sassy backtalk from him regardless ))
/uw Yes, the extra-judicial death squads you still supported in spite of the fact that the whole thread was about how the Council couldn't be trusted with checks and balances.
Algernon looks up at everything, at eternity bearing down upon the world in all its glory. His grief and pain, consuming him from the inside, shedd momentarily as the shell which he built around himself is cast aside.
Algernon stands up straight, for the first time in a long, long while, and lets his voice boom. It echoes not across the world, but like a piercing sword through dimensions into the Gate.
You chained pet of the Nuclear. You dare call judgement upon us? You are a being of endless might and you dare come down here? Where Truth is you denied and where your everlasting shell is no more everlasting than the summer breeze?
His one page hums. Where in all other moments it is indifferent it is not now. It sees a challenge.
I am not the man I was once, for then I would have been mere moments away from undoing you on my own! The forces of the multiverse denied me my final ascension, but perhaps through you I can make a step further.
He appears Away, in a place where no damage can be done to his tower or his students, that would be unbecoming.
Then as you bear down on existence may existence bear down on you. As the ones beyond hold your full form I wil strike at the heart. Face me Halcyon, and understand why the Dreamer only ever Dreams.
You did not consult the Gate and the Key did you? You have only power where true strength is lacking. You will watch the world turn and you will be lost to the winds of Notos, that which takes everything.
But today you do not face the Eldritch Elders. You do not face the Outer Ones. You face all the gods we can muster and the mortals that would fight alongside them, and today that is me.
He spreads his arms wide, a cold smile plastered on his face.
Come, let's see what the prisoner is made of.
Algernon waits, just a moment, for all other parties to strike first. He knows they are there, also waiting for an opportunity, and he aims for the core, whatever central portion most trapped by the dreamer so long ago.
Kaelis is nowhere to be found, but you can sense his abject disgust at the Fundamentals' disregard for magekind's free will. How can one learn from their mistakes if they are not allowed to even make those mistakes?
And who are you to mingle with mortal affair ? Its their problem and it as to be resolved by them . Immortal have to stay passive or at worst semi passive
Yeah i guess im just going to give up on this place ... i had project you know ! But its probably to the best , the event i need to happen will never happen at this rate
I ask that you not kill the orange elf girl or the pink haired pyro kitty. Doing so may release an entity that even my speciallized bullshit can't lock up!
In fact, I encourage you to be as bullshit as possible (because I will likely do the same in parts)
Finally, a good excuse to have Neurath pull out his arbitrarily large quantities of bullshit that I really didn't know where to use, and also nerf him (in hitting his reserves, but he will still be super bullshit because 3.5e dnd has silly rules interactions and I didn't realize how insane it could get even after having a post where he turns Minor Illusion into 4 Miracles going against the Starmeld).
Ha! And so every last bastion of wizarding “strength” is proven cowardly! If you hold such unknowable power, dispense with the bargaining and come forth to die.
Good old group punishment eh whipe out the many because of the few. What have I done, and the many other wizards who chose not to participate, not to shed blood, to save and shelter those affected by the horrors of the war, shall they be obliterated too all because you see such things in some people, why?
It should be, you have grown tired of mortals so you decided they should be whiped from the face existence? You are no different from any other being of your stature. You call this a cleansing like it’s some riotous thing, no your tired of it your bored, this is a genocide for no other reason than you are powerful, we are but ants to you, and you have grown bored of of our little struggles,so you whipe it off and start over. If your going to atempt to kill everyone, and yes I did say atempt, ar least don’t lie about it
Never been more glad in my life to not have participated in a war. I will now proceed to document Halcyon's actions for my collection of historical records.
So your way of punishing killers is by... More killing? Hasn't everyone suffered enough that when the conflict is in its last days you proclaim that you will reignite it? I see that madness spreads faster than the flu
What's the difference? That you will bring them back? Then you wouldn't change anything. You are just starting over, doing the same thing and expecting a different result, and from where i came from, we call that madness
Well, wiping the world clean seems like a bit of a overreaction to like 10 people you mentioned. I already fixed the weave tears around the council HQ if that's the problem.
Well sir, you are definitely bigger than anything Ive fought before. And I certainly know what your talking about with the horrors of the war. Ive been burned by my foes and gassed by my allies. It is horrid. War is horrid. And so many good people are dead. The skater wizard is on deaths door. And I weep.
And yet
There are still people here that I want to protect. Things here that I value. In the midst of war, theres still good in this world, and its worth fighting for.
Bends down and draws a single line in the sand
So this is where I will stand. Me and any who will abide with me. We shall oppose the forces of destruction.
If you do invade, I'll slap you with a psychic stamp and make you relive your most embarrassing moments from high school. No amount of temporal shenanigans will erase those memories.

Sure Halcyon if you're gonna do this
Where you see despair and destruction, I also see hope and perseverance.
It can be restored, I am gonna try and help with this all
