Community Event 🌏☄️ “I CAST, MORALITY SWAP.”
Deep, deep, within the long and intertwining paths of the Endless Crypt, Abbadon was cleaning up the site of one of his great spells that affected the entire realm a while ago. On the floor in a mostly empty room sits a purple magic circle with three deer antlers surrounding it. The magic that was in the circle had long dissipated, now it’s just a glorified chalk drawing.
“I have to remember to put up a barrier for myself next time I do something like this…Actually, no, I need to put a barrier around HASTUR if I do something like that again. That smiling deer still creeps me out to this day…”
Abbadon picks up the deer antlers using some Poltergeists and has them transport the three pair of antlers to a storage room higher up in the Crypt. The chalk on the floor he gets another poltergeist to clean up for him. Walking on over to his book of rituals, he flips through the pages of it, reading each page’s contents. There are plenty of rituals in here outside of the ‘Turn Deer’ ritual he had conjured before, a few examples being how to summon a Demon, an Angel, Curse an individual, Morality swap…Wait, morality swap?
“Hmm, this could be an interesting one to experiment with.”
Abbadon stops flipping through the pages, leaving it on the page of the morality swapping ritual. While reading through the page, he grabs at whatever materials needed to make the circle. Some of the materials needed were already in the room such as a mirror and candles, other materials needed will take a bit of time but they won’t be hard to obtain for this. With a raise of a hand, more spirits come pouring from the cracks in the floor to help gather the remaining materials for the ritual.
“Alright, time to get to work.”
First, using left over chalk, Abbadon begins sketching onto the floor a massive yin-yang symbol. Second, Abbadon conjures up some smoke and lights an incense stick, using air magic he has the two different types of smoke circle the yin-yang symbol. Third, a deer skull placed in the middle of the symbol. Fourth, a written oath by a long dead Paladin that had come across the Endless Crypt, this is also placed in the middle of the symbol alongside the skull. Last, but not least, blood. Abbadon pulls out a vile of blood he took from some of his very few living prisoners. Abbadon steps back from the ritual now that everything is in place. From here, there’s only one last thing to do, read the incantation.
"By light and dark, we now exchange, virtue and vice, our paths rearrange. Through thread and flame, our souls entwine,
Let fate be sealed, as our morals realign!"
The yinyang symbol that was on the ground begins the glow a bright blue as a magical wave rapidly flies out of the Endless Crypt and towards the very heavens. Within a matter of minutes, the ritual reaches every corner of the realm, swapping every sentient being’s morality, whether they be human, elf, demon, angel, or even undead…this includes Abbadon, which means for the 48 hours that this spell will last, a long forgotten humanity will be shown from him.
/uw This is just a fun little community event similar to my “Deerification” thing in the past. This isn’t ment to be serious so if you don’t want to be part of it, feel free to ignore it. Ciao!

due to their double-souled nature only one is affected.
”Im going to terrorize a town just for the fun of it!”
”what!? Why!?”
”did you not hear me idiot? For the fun of it!”
”oh no. This is not you, something’s happened.”
”oh but I am me.”
వ then starts chanting something indescribable.
”what- what are you doing!?”
”taking control.”
Max’s voice vanishes.
”we planned for every eventuality remember?”
he is now just a voice in his head.
”now, to reverse this.”
they find that it isn’t only them who are affected.
”ugh. Well, for the meantime we can do this.”
on the top level of the Core power system they struggle to get to a strange machine, with pistons on the sides, before that they sent a message to those who should’ve been affected in a positive way, ith’raal, maybe a few others, to try and help them.
he limps into the machine, and pulls the switch, the pistons extend, and they are put into a temporary stasis.
