SO BELOW - EVENT LOG

SO BELOW

With a slightly bump that can be felt throughout the ship, progress levels out. The skies above are threatening rain, but there aren't any drops falling from the sky... Yet.

Not that you'd know it, looking out the windows. A foreign ocean stands outside, on the other side of the glass - the ghost of an ocean, long gone from the truth of this world.

Just like so many other things, which have become visible to those who are willing to pay attention.

This is the event log for SO BELOW. Information for the first part of the Event (days 15 and 16) can be found here, along with sign-up options for the second part of the event.

"I did not take it," Neuvillette says in response, his tone soft and somber, the opposite of Malos and his ironic twist of laughter. "It was returned to me, at a great price, to right that great wrong."

And to save Fontaine, of course. But the smile upon her face -

"If it were possible to simply take a divine Throne and reclaim it, I am sure it would have been done long ago," he says instead. "But it is not so simple. The relationships that have resulted, between gods and dragons, are as varied as the elements themselves. Even the Seven Archons are victims-in-waiting, should they step out of line and break the rules set by the Heavenly Principles, and yet they are also complicit in its many crimes against both dragons and humanity."

He sighs, allowing, for a moment, the weight of the task that still stands before him to show. "To destroy everything would be much simpler," he says. "A solution some of my kin certainly advocate. There are places even now where the Geo Dragon's rage rattles the mountains."

Stone does not remember perfectly, as many humans believe it does. It is worn away by water and time, and so too have those memories worn down until there is little more than anger left.

Neuvillette cannot say that Rex Lapis was right, to imprison Azdaha deep within the mountains. Neither can he say that Morax was wrong. Ultimately, from what he knows of the tale, the God of Contracts was simply constrained by his nature, his own inability to not fulfill a contract to the letter.

"But the mantle which I caught upon my shoulders is to judge the heavens, not to destroy them outright. Though there can be only one sentence for the Usurper, for the Seven... it is not so simple."
