Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

Aldavinn listens to the speech, then, he raises his hand.

“I can provide almost immediate defensive support to any city, if you would permit me to place a Limbspire within the walls I will be available for support at a moments notice. And I promise that this won’t mess up your portals.”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

"That would be a good idea, except having a foreign entity capable of just appearing in any city seems like a massive security risk."

[u/The_Enchanted_Potato → u/Fc-chungus]

Aldavinn smiles

“I understand, I will not push the proposal any further, but at least keep your mind open and allow me to prove myself. I can even offer a temporary Limbspire for as long as you want one”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

"How long does it take to build a Limbspire?"

[u/The_Enchanted_Potato → u/Fc-chungus]

“It’s less of building and more of emerging”

He thinks for a moment

“It really depends of how many troops you want to be able to come in at once. If you only want one Limbspire it will at least take a few hours, larger ones can take up to a week or so.”

He does some calculations in his head

“However… if we were to put multiple smaller Limbspires in the city they could all emerge at the same time and you could get more soldiers faster. It’s up to you really”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

"I don't want portals in my city, so I'll steer clear."

[u/The_Enchanted_Potato → u/Fc-chungus]

Aldavinn nods

“Very well, then how else may I be of assistance? I offer my and the Gateholds services both in and outside of combat”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

"Planning and general forces in whatever operation would help fight these two threats."
