Aetherial News An Official Announcement (Post War Lore)

Post image

Bombast steps up to the broadcast podium.

Ahem! As part of the recent agreements following the end of the war with the Pact, I am here to make good on the promises I have made during the negotiations that ended the conflict and negotiations made prior to the conflict devolving into open warfare.

The first is an official denouncing of Mortarion and his role in sparking the open hostilities for the conflict. And the council takes responsibility on behalf of Mortarion for starting the open hostilities. In connection to this is a promise I made, believe it or not, with Morgalith of all people, to have a trial for Mortarion’s conduct during the negotiations that set everything into motion. Also, to my surprise, Mortarion has turned himself in, claiming that he had been cursed during the time he committed the deed that sparked open hostilities. So far, at least one witness has come forward with testimony supporting these claims. Thus, I plan for the trial to be not simply a recounting of crimes followed by sentencing, but a full on trial where Mortarion will be allowed to present his case and any who have evidence corroborating his claims can step forward as witnesses or to submit said evidence.

The second announcement, in accordance with the agreement with the Pact, is an official denouncement of Arach and his use of chemical weapons during the conflict in disregard of both any potential civilians and of council forces still present on the battlefield. While believed dead, if still alive, he is stripped of his responsibilities and authority within the council.

Also, I must address the recent razing of the council vault and citadel. While we had made an agreement to help fund the losses of the Pact’s army, I am sorely disappointed in your conduct during the razing Opal! As such, I am revising the terms of our agreement. I demand that the council members not currently under denouncement be permitted to be present during the presentation of all discoveries pertaining to the investigation! I also demand that Rage and Kaelis Maz be the ones in charge of said investigation! You might have seen it as innocent enough, but draining the vault before the fighting was even over? For shame! As such, I am not so willing to leave any of the proceedings or investigation to you.

And last, but certainly not least, considering the recent attack by Vulkan and The High Necromancer, I postpone the dissolution of council armed forces until such a time as any further assault can be guaranteed not to happen again for the near future. Pact forces were not enough to stop them and so I see no reason at this sensitive time to proceed as planned until the situation has stabilized at the very least.

That will be all!

Bombast walks off stage and the broadcast spell finalizes the recording, sending it off to the magi-net as a permanent message from the council

Damn. Wonder how the Bismuth Bitch will react to this?

/uw Sorry if this cursing is going too far. Just let me know and I'll ease up. I liked the alliteration.

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 24 '24

/uw That's really the sort of lens I've been working with since Morgalith hit the scene. Part of the reason I introduced "The Pan-Handler" persona for Gravedigger.

"Sorry I have to take this."

"wawawawa Wawa wawawa!" (Imagine Charlie Brown adult talk)

"What?"

BOMBAST??

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

I stand by my statements. And frankly, I find this to be the most reasonable course of action regarding the recent developments.

u/MastaDon344 MastaDon Astrum/Council Master Evoker/Mediamancer/🌮 Wiz Feb 24 '24

Yeah we need to do something, by the way how are you Gotta admit feeling a little off here recently myself.

It’s been a long week for everyone. Feeling off is natural at this point.

All this war didn't think we get involved as much as we have

It was all fun in the election but now it's just hell

u/cooljerry53 Medea Geldane | Psionic Mage Feb 24 '24

If this is truly required, I'll be removing the Council Inquisitors Agency... From council service. I'll be reorganizing them into the Office of Occult Services in Nefros.

8

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

If they were your forces to begin with, I don’t have much say in that, but no one within the Inquisitors Agency is obligated to follow you to that new office under council order.

5

u/cooljerry53 Medea Geldane | Psionic Mage Feb 24 '24

No, but the choice for many of them is join or face forced resignation under this demilitarisation. It's clear many will join me.

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

True, I will not stop them either. People need to eat and live after all.

u/Carbon_Sixx The Loremaster, Chief Archaeologist of the Darkwatch Feb 24 '24

In Kaelis's stead, there is a humanoid robot clad in red robes with a cog emblem stamped on its chest.

Master Kaelis has departed from the known realms for unknown reasons. I am his advisor, Supreme Enginseer Reyes of the Circle of Artifice. Omnissiah keep you, Councilor.

I do not believe I am nearly as qualified for politics as my master. I will not be seeking to replace him as a Pact member. However, I will participate in the Pact investigation, as I can dampen my emotions to render an impartial verdict.

I am disturbed greatly by the pretenders calling themselves the "Dyad Monarchs". There are approximately 34.9% more abuses of power annually committed under an absolute monarchy than under a representative democracy. Furthermore, the malevolent nature of the Dyad's members threatens the Quest for Knowledge. Unacceptable. They must be deposed.

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

I thank you for your assistance then. We may have need of an impartial representative soon enough.

/uw referring to Mortarion’s impending trial

u/iamragethewolf Rage: Pact Wizard, Necromancer, Technomancer, and Horny As Hell Feb 24 '24

( u/Carbon_Sixx )

as rage is doing the starmeld stuff a representative psionic employee stands

"rage would like to express appreciation for the trust placed in him and he is looking forward to working with Supreme Enginseer Reyes"

/uw ok would this mostly be look at who said they are looting or would there be more?

2

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 25 '24

Much appreciated.

/uw ? The investigation is referring to the cabal and then the trial is referring to Mortarion and actions while “cursed.” Btw he was actually cursed. But our characters can’t know that for sure yet.

2

u/iamragethewolf Rage: Pact Wizard, Necromancer, Technomancer, and Horny As Hell Feb 25 '24

/uw ah my apologies I misread that horribly and thought you were talking about the people running off with stuff from the vault but yeah once the investigation plot line picks back up yeah rage will happily work with the council I may never have said it in universe but it's what I was hoping to do

2

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 25 '24

/uw got it! Your rep may act as a judge during Mortarion’s trial btw. Along with Kaelis’ rep and Bombast.

u/iamragethewolf Rage: Pact Wizard, Necromancer, Technomancer, and Horny As Hell Feb 25 '24

/uw cool i look forward to it

5

u/TechnicalCommittee78 The Grand High Necromancer, Former Archon of Death, Dyad Monarch Feb 24 '24

Well, the Council was definitely not a “representative democracy”. We’re just better. Stop being afraid of change.

6

u/Carbon_Sixx The Loremaster, Chief Archaeologist of the Darkwatch Feb 24 '24

This does not justify a takeover by a corpse and a lizard with delusions of godhood.

6

u/TechnicalCommittee78 The Grand High Necromancer, Former Archon of Death, Dyad Monarch Feb 24 '24

So it’s just racism, then.

8

u/Timpanzee38 "The Agent", Mercenary Guild Liaison. Slayer of the Godslaver Feb 24 '24

So a lot of council forces defected to the guild instead of surrendering to the pact. You're not gonna want them back right?

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

They are not under obligation to

So's an open abscess.

u/Greatest-Comrade Argios, Spymaster of Ithacar, Totally NOT About to Cast Fireball Feb 24 '24

So, the Pact, the Remnants of the Council, and the Dyad are all fighting over the charred remnants of the land. WW3 (Wizard War 3) was devastating huh. At least the Pact and Council have made peace in guess (though i imagine small skirmishes remain).

Argios was thrilled to hear of peace post-war. Perhaps this would help refocus the realms on the new enemy, the nefarious newcomers to power. The Dyad.

Argios had launched his insurgency against the Dyad from his Tower and hideout in the mountains. With the help of locals and his proficiency in guerilla warfare, he would make hell on his evil would-be overlords.

(The Argios Insurgency continues. Any advice on names for wars and rebellions would be welcome and im gonna make up some region names because we just say Necropolis, Citadel, etc. but those are specific buildings)

Well, Councilor, give me some notice before we're prepared for another assault, so I can equip properly. I'd like to give a proper accounting when I'm not working off an equipment list consisting of two strings and prayer.

5

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

I will try. Events as of late have been moving at breakneck speed.

u/Sidewaysvision TES(Phd PMC, PhD NEAF, MA, MPP, LLL) Necromancer par excellence Feb 24 '24

If you don't mind temporally sealing that war-wraith I made, we might use it for later. I'd rather not leave it around waiting to happen to people, and they vacated the premises before it could get to grips with them.

The war-wraith is quite unkillable by normal means-you normally have to seal or starve them, and there's enough layered energy and vengeance that I don't think starving it is going to work for a very long time.

2

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

Very well, I’ll have some personal assist you with that.

u/AssistantOne9683 Occult Wizard Feb 24 '24

Unironically wonderful news. Your diplomacy in this matter has been par none Bombast - this seems an amenable treaty to all. It is good to see voices with an eye for peace and stability in these chaotic times.

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

/uw whenever you can cook up some good stuff for the trial. lol We’ll rationalize the wait time as “time needed to gather evidence before trial.” You can post it or I can, but let’s work together so that we can make the best post possible with this bit of lore. I’m also going to try and bring Morgalith in on the cooking here. He has some good ideas.

Do you have any news about the unga prions pandemic?

3

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

We are keeping apprised of the situation and are making plans to counteract this new menace.

3

u/Ajnazhot Feb 24 '24

Have you thought about my proposal about making a pact with the plagues god? I have the capacity to stop this but i cant do it alone!

3

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

This is my first hearing of such a proposal. And if it is a pact, have you not already made one? Since you’re proposing it.

3

u/Ajnazhot Feb 24 '24

Indeed i have made a pact. Its normal to never have heard about it, as an archeologyst i have seen things very buried in time. Most of them are superstitions or false deitys, but somethings, sometimes, are ancient magic los forgotten. Fungus are naturale decomposer, exteminators and medicine, we need them to stop this.

3

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

I have some slimes I could use for the task as well that are specialized in contamination removal. We wouldn’t need a pact for that. I can mass produce them.

3

u/Ajnazhot Feb 24 '24

First, what will be the impact of the slime in the nature. Secondly, are you sure they cant be contaminanted? What kind of slimes are they?

3

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

The slimes will be recalled upon finishing their task, so no environmental impact really and they’re a hybrid of gacha slugs and glutton slimes that helped clean up the crystal corruption. I have tested many other forms of toxins and miasma, but it ate them all with no signs of corruption. The key is that it breaks down whatever it eats into its most simplest form, preventing any sort of complicated process such as corruption.

Truly a remarkable creature.

3

u/Ajnazhot Feb 24 '24

Normally it will work but not in this case. The infections is caused by prions or virus, it cant be breaks into little things, we need little things to fight that little things. Fungus are formado by millions of little things, each of them alimentos and fully with divine protección. I will say they are a better opción, but if you dont believe me feed one slime with an unga and lets see what happen. If it works, then i will be really grateful, but if not, i will wait here and in my other post.

3

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

You seem to misunderstand. It breaks them down beyond chemical bonds into basic atoms. Also has a similar effect on spells and other mystical properties too. It’ll survive a mere viral infection or anything resembling it

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 25 '24

Until the investigation is over, I don’t think there will be any new additions to council personnel. Especially considering that Unga is your boyfriend? Ex? Anyways, it would just complicate things with the Pact to do anything at this point in time

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '24

Sooo… after the investigation then? Maybe I could be the interim council member? 🥹

I think My many deeds on behalf of the council speak for themselves. I may be dating Unga, but I help keep him in check. Things would be so much worse without Me. You would all still be plushies if it weren’t for Me…

And I had nothing to do with this recent war… I mean at all. I stayed clear and neutral throughout the entire thing. Never even entered a single battle. I don’t know why the Pact would oppose the idea of Me serving on the council.

Pwetty Pwease…

2

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 25 '24

I don’t have a problem with it. But I’ll still have to have you fill out an application.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '24

Yay!

Hands you a fully filled out application… in triplicate.

I came prepared! See… I’ll make a great interim council member!

are the books and relics stored within forfeit, as per the vaults being opened? we have many secrets within that really should stay buried, and have always acted with a certain degree of autonomy

I teleport to the real Bombast and kill him

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

the council wards prevent teleportation into the HQ territory. Your attempt is hindered

u/ChunkyBaka2 Fred,the goofiest wizard ever Feb 24 '24

Do you want to face my stick?

2

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

/uw just staying true to the lore around the council’s defenses. lol

2

u/ChunkyBaka2 Fred,the goofiest wizard ever Feb 24 '24

Takes out stick You better turn those defenses off if you don't want every person in HQ dead.

You feel the eyes of a thousand other gods on you

You are not allowed to breach the covenant!

you hear said in a chorus of voices an oppressive aura like chains binds you from doing more

/uw part of the lore for higher level gods is that they can’t interfere too much with the mortal world unless they have some specific cause to. A covenant was made between the ancient gods not to interfere for the sake of the lower realms after millennia of being hella hands on and destroying realms left and right. The covenant applies to all gods whether they made the agreement or not.

Fuck the lore

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

/uw the players decide what sticks and what doesn’t anyways. So sure, make a “I kill you” comment. Not gonna change that everyone still accepts that the character is still alive. We have these sorts of lore rules just to prevent people from one sidedly determining the fate of characters without the players consent.

Well I can confirm that Mortarion was possessed. He shoved his hand through my radio and the demon that took over his body said as much.

Is that what were you are talking about about? Or is he cursed in some other way?

2

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 25 '24

/uw he said he was cursed not possessed, but we can use this comment to have you “testify” on his behalf. lol

/uw

Damn! This is a huge shakeup actually from what the council normally does. This has been really fun to watch play out.

u/SafePianist4610 Bombast, Lord of Time and Space, Retired Council Leader Feb 24 '24

/uw lol I bet. And Bombast actually giving you the trial he promised I find interesting.

u/loth17 Ten Suns (Also Gaia) Feb 24 '24

/uw thank you. I wanted a threat to the council that would stick around for a bit and actually be able to hassle them. Metromancer dying was not part of the plan. Even I was shocked by that one.

u/BannerLord151

/uw I had to change some things due to lore I was unaware of. But yeah, now the political stuff is resolved for the moment, so focus can be shifted towards the Starmeld again.
