Animalistic Totem

GS4-KAONASHI:

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Animalistic Totems''' are highly scripted items that can be worn as either non-functional fluff or for functional mechanical benefit depending on how they are unlocked. Unlock options are available a la carte, allowing their features to be unlocked in almost any combination instead of in a fixed order. While similar to [[Animalistic Spirit]] gear, they do not provide added benefit to the gear set and can be used independendly of it.

An Animalistic Totem can attune up to five different animals' spiritual essences to it by {{boldmono|POINTing}} the totem at a monster, mount, familiar, animal companion, or similar creatures. They can also be pointed at a piece of gear with the [[Animalistic Spirit]] script to attune the currently selected animal in it. Not all creatures work with Animalistic Totems. There are noun restrictions in addition to creature type for spiritual essence. Only the ranger or wizard owner of an animal companion or familiar can add it to a totem.

Animalistic Totems can have different sides customized similar to a [[Deck the Halls]] item or [[Veola hair accessory]], capable of taking a foraged item, feather, bones/teeth, skins, etc., to change the totem's animalistic decoration. They were introduced in the August 2024 run of [[Duskruin]] and are sold in its shop, [[BVShop:Totemic Spirits|Totemic Spirits]]. They were designed by GM Avaluka.

|itemsummary= OTS Animalistic Totems can hold one creature's spiritual essence. They come with ambient messaging and a set of fluff verbs. They have the ability to {{boldmono|PUSH}} an animalistic decoration into the totem, changing a portion of its long description similar to a [[Deck the Halls]] item or a [[Veola hair accessory]]; decorations can be removed at any time. They also can have the base material changed by {{boldmono|ADDing}} an item that is made of bone, wood, or metal; doing this will '''permanently destroy the item added'''.
|analyze= 
You analyze the balsawood idol and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
-- Animalistic Totem --
This idol is an item that holds the spiritual essence of an animal. The essence can be gained from animal-like creatures, familiars, animal companions, or Animalistic Spirit items.
==Features==
* Spiritual Essences [1 out of 5 Slots Unlocked]
POINT the idol at an appropriate animal-like creature, familiar, animal companion, or Animalistic Spirit item to have the idol absorb some of the creature's essence.
If you have more than one spiritual essence slot unlocked, you can use TURN on the idol to switch between the stored essences.
* Ambient Messages [ON - PROD to toggle]
While you are wearing the idol, the spiritual essence currently chosen will make itself known every so often with ambient messaging. You can use PROD to quiet the spirit at any time.
* Animalistic Decoration
You can PUSH Foraged Items, feathers, bones/teeth, skins, and other small items into the idol and change its long description (the portion after the noun only). Visit any willing merchant to change how each decoration type looks. You can then PULL the idol to remove the item at any time.
While holding something made of metal, wood, or bone in one hand, you can ADD to the idol to change its base material. CLEAN it to return it to how it looked initially. WARNING: Materials used to change the idol's base material are lost forever, so be sure you are happy with what you choose.
* Accent Material Change [Locked]
Once unlocked, you can then TWIST the idol to focus on the accent material instead of the base material, allowing ADD to change the idol's article. You can use CLEAN, as well, while focused on the accent material to return the idol to its original article.
Once an accent material has been added, you can use FLIP to adjust the article to different styles based on that material.
* Movement Styles [Locked]
When unlocked, you can allow the spiritual essence inside the idol to affect how you look when you move from room to room. SPIN will select a style, while COVER will toggle the feature off.
* Wear Location Change [Locked]
When unlocked, you can use FOLD on the idol to switch between pin, wrist, and neck-worn locations.
* Bestial Power [Locked]
(Flares: OFF, RUB to toggle)
When unlocked, the spiritual essence inside the idol can help you passively in combat. Only one of four paths can be chosen, and this cannot be changed once unlocked.
Abilities happen at a standard flare rate during combat if there are enough charges available.
Animalistic Endurance (Defensive) - +2 crit padding per tier.
Bestial Block (Defensive) - +3 DS/+2 TD per tier
Shifting Strike (Offensive) - +3 AS/+2 CS per tier
Feral Ferocity (Offensive) - +2 crit weighting per tier
The ability is fueled by skins from creatures, and up to 500 charges can be stored.
* Fluff Actions [Locked, T1 of 2]
==Alteration Guidelines==
* Alterations are fine, though the noun must be "idol", "totem", or "fetish".
* The adjective field should contain the material the idol is made of.
* This idol cannot accept a show description.
* Any willing merchant can change the designs for when feathers, bone/teeth, flowers, gems, bugs/sea creatures, or miscellaneous items are PUSHed into the idol. These work much like Veolas, but the only part of the description you can customize is the part after the noun.
* Any willing merchant can change the color of the different spiritual essences.
==Usage==
You will find that you can use the following verbs: POINT (attune to a creature), ADD (add a material), PUSH (add a decoration), PULL (remove a current decoration), CLEAN (set material back to default), PROD (toggle ambient messages).
==Current Settings==
* Current Spiritual Essence: a raven [Color: misty green]
* Feather Design: None [Default]
* Bone/Tooth Design: None [Default]
* Flower Design: None [Default]
* Gem Design: None [Default]
* Bug/Aquatic Life Design: None [Default]
* Miscellaneous Design: None [Default]

You get no sense of whether or not the idol may be further lightened.

There are four types of Bestial Power paths, with two focused on offense and two focused on defense.

Bestial Power can be unlocked from Tier 1 to Tier 5, with increasing benefit at each tier unlock for the individual paths:

* Bestial Block (Defensive) - +3 DS/+2 TD per tier
* Shifting Strike (Offensive) - +3 AS/+2 CS per tier
* Feral Ferocity (Offensive) - +2 crit weighting per tier

Bestial Power abilities happen at a standard flare rate during combat if there are enough charges available. Charges are added by {{boldmono|PUTting}} skins into the totem up to 500 stored charges. The value of the skin determines how much they charge the totem at a rate of 100 silver value per 1 charge. Skins can be added individually or bundled.

==Additional Information==
Due to how the totems are coded, there are some restrictions on what items will work with them for changing the base material or accent. Items that work for accents include: small weapons/runestaves, forging blocks, alteration fodder items, gems less than 15 characters in length, certain skins/bones/antlers/horns, ribbons. The metal or wood name needs to be 15 characters or less.

When altering the different sides for animalistic decorations, only the portion after the totem's noun can be modified. The <nowiki><full></nowiki> and <nowiki><adj></nowiki> placeholders both function with totems as they do for a [[Deck the Halls]] item or [[Veola hair accessory]].

Any merchant can change the color associated with an animal if they are comfortable doing so. Colors are stored per animal and can be different for multiple spiritual essence slots.

Thank you for all the interest in the new Shopping District within Kraken's Fall, including its brand new Playershops that drew their lotteries yesterday! While we work to get all the release bugs sorted (please ASSIST if you're having issues), I'm happy to announce that Salty's Services and its warehouse, home to these shops, has been rapidly expanded to meet our growing needs.

Within the warehouse itself, please look for the area alongside the stone starfish fountain (740023). At that intersection, new alleyways have opened heading to the north and south, allowing greater opportunity for prospective merchants to claim space -- and a few cozy spots for necessary hang-outs!

A huge thanks to PM Wyrom and GM Itzel, who helped me speed this along for immediate release. These new rooms are LIVE NOW in Gemstone IV Prime

An expansion to the new Kraken's Fall shopping district is LIVE NOW.

Fresh off the surprise announcement yesterday at SimuCon 2026, I am proud to say that the new Kraken's Fall Shopping District is open for exploration (if not for SHOP-related business yet).

Administrator Salty, a greasy, tooth-challenged functionary, has used the labor of many oiled-up half-elves to rebuild a ruined warehouse off Nereid's Cradle. While the area's reconstitution is ongoing, things are ready enough for Kraken's Fall citizens, well-wishers, and hangers-on to visit and preview the expansion which will house the town's forthcoming Playershops!

This new area in Kraken's Fall is LIVE now in GemStone IV Prime. Please proceed to the Nereid's Cradle, Canopied Walk, head down aside the walk, and look for the wide sand-stuck stairs leading to a warehouse complex. A massive thank you to GM Thandiwe for her support, GM Itzel for her editing alacrity, GM Xeraphina for her guidance, and PM Wyrom for his help throughout.
===tldr===
The new Kraken's Fall Shopping District, Salty's Services, is LIVE NOW.

<section begin=intro />The '''[[:Category:Premium Festival|Premium Festival]]''' returns in 2026, celebrating the '''[[:Category:Currents of Myth|Currents of Myth]]'''. Shops will be hosted within its Tideswept Bazaar.

[[The Acqsael]] are a mysterious and ancient merpeople who dwell in the waters off the Western Harbor, near the northwestern region of Charl's Teeth.

For generations, the acqsael have remained within their shifting currents, their shimmering markets concealed among coral beds and bioluminescent grottos deep beneath the sea. Now, as this gathering returns for a second year, they once more extend a graceful invitation to those above. This summer, the acqsael once again extend their invitation to returning explorers and newly drawn wanderers alike, welcoming you back into their world beneath the waves for a second year of wonder within their markets. Rare wares, elegantly crafted goods, and raffles steeped in quiet mystery await in the drifting currents below, where seasoned merchants and curious vendors gather with creations shaped from materials found only in the deep.

In honor of this second gathering, the final evenings will again be set aside for unhurried browsing and quiet discovery. The acqsael encourage you to roam the reefs at your own pace, linger within the glowing caverns, and once more take in the distant songs that carry through the sea.<section end=intro />

<section begin=rundate />'''The 2026 Premium Festival will take place July 17 - July 26, with July 25 - 26 for shopping only.'''

|7/19||7:00 PM ET||Echoes Beneath the Tide||Silvershade Hollow||Last evening a group of acqsael and adventures went searching for the cause of the warm currents floating through the area. They discovered a new cavern in the reef where they found two artifacts within piles of rubble and debris. One of the artifacts, a driftwood seahorse, told the story of a lost acqsael child.

{{TOCright|limit=3}}
<section begin=intro />The '''[[:Category:Premium Festival|Premium Festival]]''' returns in 2026, celebrating the '''[[:Category:Currents of Myth|Currents of Myth]]'''. Shops will be hosted within its Tideswept Bazaar.

[[The Acqsael]] are a mysterious and ancient merpeople who dwell in the waters off the Western Harbor, near the northwestern region of Charl's Teeth.

For generations, the acqsael have remained within their shifting currents, their shimmering markets concealed among coral beds and bioluminescent grottos deep beneath the sea. Now, as this gathering returns for a second year, they once more extend a graceful invitation to those above. This summer, the acqsael once again extend their invitation to returning explorers and newly drawn wanderers alike, welcoming you back into their world beneath the waves for a second year of wonder within their markets. Rare wares, elegantly crafted goods, and raffles steeped in quiet mystery await in the drifting currents below, where seasoned merchants and curious vendors gather with creations shaped from materials found only in the deep.

In honor of this second gathering, the final evenings will again be set aside for unhurried browsing and quiet discovery. The acqsael encourage you to roam the reefs at your own pace, linger within the glowing caverns, and once more take in the distant songs that carry through the sea.<section end=intro />

<section begin=rundate />'''The 2026 Premium Festival will take place July 17 - July 26, with July 25 - 26 for shopping only.'''

|7/19||7:00 PM ET||Echoes Beneath the Tide||Silvershade Hollow||Last evening a group of acqsael and adventures went searching for the cause of the warm currents floating through the area. They discovered a new cavern in the reef where they found two artifacts within piles of rubble and debris. One of the artifacts, a driftwood seahorse, told the story of a lost acqsael child. The way further into the cavern was blocked. The acqsael decided to take the artifacts to their elders for research, but plan to meet by the aelvara tree tonight at seven to further explore. All are welcome to join them.

<section begin=intro />The '''[[:Category:Premium Festival|Premium Festival]]''' returns in 2026, celebrating the '''[[:Category:Currents of Myth|Currents of Myth]]'''. Shops will be hosted within its Tideswept Bazaar.

[[The Acqsael]] are a mysterious and ancient merpeople who dwell in the waters off the Western Harbor, near the northwestern region of Charl's Teeth.

For generations, the acqsael have remained within their shifting currents, their shimmering markets concealed among coral beds and bioluminescent grottos deep beneath the sea. Now, as this gathering returns for a second year, they once more extend a graceful invitation to those above. This summer, the acqsael once again extend their invitation to returning explorers and newly drawn wanderers alike, welcoming you back into their world beneath the waves for a second year of wonder within their markets. Rare wares, elegantly crafted goods, and raffles steeped in quiet mystery await in the drifting currents below, where seasoned merchants and curious vendors gather with creations shaped from materials found only in the deep.

In honor of this second gathering, the final evenings will again be set aside for unhurried browsing and quiet discovery. The acqsael encourage you to roam the reefs at your own pace, linger within the glowing caverns, and once more take in the distant songs that carry through the sea.<section end=intro />

<section begin=rundate />'''The 2026 Premium Festival will take place July 17 - July 26, with July 25 - 26 for shopping only.'''

They discovered a new cavern in the reef where they found two artifacts within piles of rubble and debris. One of the artifacts, a driftwood seahorse, told the story of a lost acqsael child. The way further into the cavern was blocked. The acqsael decided to take the artifacts to their elders for research, but plan to meet by the aelvara tree tonight at seven to further explore. All are welcome to join them.

GS4-KAONASHI: /* Raffles */

{{TOCright|limit=3}}
<section begin=intro />The '''[[:Category:Premium Festival|Premium Festival]]''' returns in 2026, celebrating the '''[[:Category:Currents of Myth|Currents of Myth]]'''. Shops will be hosted within its Tideswept Bazaar.

[[The Acqsael]] are a mysterious and ancient merpeople who dwell in the waters off the Western Harbor, near the northwestern region of Charl's Teeth.

For generations, the acqsael have remained within their shifting currents, their shimmering markets concealed among coral beds and bioluminescent grottos deep beneath the sea. Now, as this gathering returns for a second year, they once more extend a graceful invitation to those above. This summer, the acqsael once again extend their invitation to returning explorers and newly drawn wanderers alike, welcoming you back into their world beneath the waves for a second year of wonder within their markets. Rare wares, elegantly crafted goods, and raffles steeped in quiet mystery await in the drifting currents below, where seasoned merchants and curious vendors gather with creations shaped from materials found only in the deep.

In honor of this second gathering, the final evenings will again be set aside for unhurried browsing and quiet discovery. The acqsael encourage you to roam the reefs at your own pace, linger within the glowing caverns, and once more take in the distant songs that carry through the sea.<section end=intro />

<section begin=rundate />'''The 2026 Premium Festival will take place July 17 - July 26, with July 25 - 26 for shopping only.'''

|-
|7/19||7:00 PM ET||Echoes Beneath the Tide||Silvershade Hollow||Last evening a group of acqsael and adventures went searching for the cause of the warm currents floating through the area. They discovered a new cavern in the reef where they found two artifacts within piles of rubble and debris. One of the artifacts, a driftwood seahorse, told the story of a lost acqsael child. The way further into the cavern was blocked. The acqsael decided to take the artifacts to their elders for research, but plan to meet by the aelvara tree tonight at seven to further explore. All are welcome to join them.

Slymie is an Acqsael that works in the backroom of his [[Currents_of_Myth/2026#The_Six-Sided_Grotto|Six-Sided Grotto]] during the [[:Category:Currents_of_Myth|Currents of Myth]] [[:Category:Premium_Festival|Premium Festival]].

==Appearance==
<pre{{log3}}>
You see Slymie the Acqsael.
Faintly glowing translucent fins fan outward from his forearms and down the back of his torso. A long, flowing tail covered in iridescent crystal sea green scales extends below the waist. His facial features are almost elven, with almond-shaped vermilion eyes, high cheekbones, and gently pointed ears. He has flowing locks of silver hair streaked with pale coral.
He is wearing a small ethereal starfish, an iridescent opal-inset choker dangling several ruby-pipped onyx dice, a moss-lined kelp-woven cloak, an ethereal whelk shell, a coral-lined jeweler's loupe fitted with a multitude of kelp-draped lenses, a silver-tinged lilac glasstide rose, and a bright coral ring inset with tidal pearls.
</pre>

== Additional Information ==
* He periodically offers his so-called "ssspecial service" that offers to personally customize certain items in his shop. Please ask for details and await announcements.

'''The Inquisitor''' is a brand new event premiering in 2026. It revolves around the Inquisitor herself, [[Luari Maivaldius]], an enigmatic figure of immense power from a different plane of existence called Nyessem. It is an episodic event that introduces a new plane, new games, new player roleplay systems, a new progression system, and new storyline threads that will extend into Elanthia beyond the event itself.

June 2026 features a prologue for the pay event that includes a free preview week of access, where you can begin learning about the Inquisitor and get a taste for what Nyessem has to offer. The Inquisitor is scheduled to return in late 2026 with its first full chapter.

Myriad parts are scattered across the area within the Conundrum, so pay careful attention to what you are asked to provide.

'''The Inquisitor''' is a brand new event premiering in 2026. It revolves around the Inquisitor herself, [[Luari Maivaldius]], an enigmatic figure of immense power from a different plane of existence called Nyessem. It is an episodic event that introduces a new plane, new games, new player roleplay systems, a new progression system, and new storyline threads that will extend into Elanthia beyond the event itself.

June 2026 features a prologue for the pay event that includes a free preview week of access, where you can begin learning about the Inquisitor and get a taste for what Nyessem has to offer. The Inquisitor is scheduled to return in late 2026 with its first full chapter.

== Activities ==
'''MANA TRAWLING'''

A quick and fun diversion, Mana Trawling is a creation of Lady Maivaldius! Test your luck and skill as you "fish" with ethereal energy. Win some aevit for your trouble, or perhaps a greater prize awaits for the truly fortunate! To play, go through the pale violet stone arch located upon the Nyessem Promenade. Once you're in the minigame's Indigo Pools area, simply WAGGLE at a nearby pool to begin! Chat with the tall and pale lanky girl by the pools to learn more.

One aevarch entry is required, granting 10 chances to fish. The game lasts until entries are used up.

'''MENAGERIE MADNESS'''

Lady Maivaldius's Menagerie Magister has collected a host of dangerous hostile creatures from Elanthia, and even a few from Nyessem! To help capture the essences of these creatures, speak to the Magister in the Nyessem Ring Loop.

Once inside the Menagerie, you can use POINT standalone on these creatures to capture their essences for the Magister. Or, if you possess a Collector vissi within an Arcarium (and using the indicated verb when you ANALYZE the Arcarium), you can create a collectible Grinsawl to add to your permanent collections at the same time! Watch out for the traps and hazards within that aim to slow you down!

Free-to-play entry is available, rewarding a Chimera vissi if you win. Paid entry is also available, costing one aevarch and rewarding 300 aevit and a Chimera vissi, win or loss. The game lasts 10 minutes.

'''THE CONUNDRUM'''

Lady Maivaldius offers a challenge of skill and teamwork for the truly brave. Within the Conundrum, a clockwerke creature needs to be rebuilt. Guided by a floating, ethereal sphere, adventurers will aid in the reconstruction of this creature, dodging hazards and fighting off powerful clockwerke foes along the way. Myriad parts are scattered across the area within the Conundrum, so pay careful attention to what you are asked to provide. The parts are heavy, so you'll need to KICK them along the ground in the correct directions to get them where they need to go.

To participate, speak to the Arena Magister in the Testing Approach, at the north end of the event grounds. Free-to-play entry is available, rewarding a vissi if you win. Paid entry is also available, costing one aevarch and rewarding 300 aevit and a vissi, win or loss.

'''FUGUE ELANTHIANS'''

Lady Maivaldius sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience, but she requests your help repatriating those Elanthian testers whose minds and bodies were not up to the tasks placed before them here in Nyessem. As you travel the event grounds, you may run across various Elanthians in a fugue state. Simply POINT at them to make their locations known, and someone will come take care of them in due time.

Participation in this minigame is free and open to everyone. Daily rewards are granted after the successful identification of five fugue Elanthians.

Noticing your orb floating gracefully by your side, you stretch out your hand and beckon the orb to your open palm. As it lands, you gently caress its sides with your fingers and stare down at it from above. The orb's surface fades away, until you are holding a globe of water depicting an impossibly small yet vividly real underwater seascape. While you [1] gaze down at the watery glob [/1], you…<br>

… find yourself sucked into [2] an exotic coral reef [/2], the very same scene you once held in your open palm! A [3] shoal of iridescent parrotfish [/3] catches your eye as it [4] glides above a patch of timeworn rocks [/4]. As you take in the wondrous scene, you realize that despite being underwater, you are still breathing comfortably. Your wonderment is broken as [5] a vibrantly colored parrotfish [/5] quickly swims headlong towards your face, but before contact is made…<br>

… you are safely back where you once were, staring at the orb that you are holding in your hand. As you release your orb, allowing it to float by your side once again, you ponder if the underwater journey was real or if it was a hallucination.<br>

GS4-KAONASHI:

'''Type:''' Chimera

'''Location:''' Also available to be purchased with aevit.

| Roleplay Ability Unlock: Personal Nightmare

Your orb floats before your face, and before you can react it transitions to [1] a glossy ebon black hue [/1] that weaves you into a living nightmare…

[The Quagmire Nightmare]

Just as you [2] are about to abandon all hope [/2], you [3] snap free of its spell [/3], and your orb resumes its normal appearance.

Note: Segments contained within bracketed numbers are customizable unlocks. Third-party messaging is not shown here, and although it aligns with the first-person messaging, you never know what others may see!
|-
! scope="row" | Tier 2
| Customizable Segments Unlocked:

[2] are about to abandon all hope (default) | prepare to succumb to your fate | are about to beg for the sweet release of oblivion | feel your remaining threads of resistance threaten to unravel | sense your will succumbing to that of the orb<br>
[3] snap free of its spell (default) | channel an explosive burst of defiance, shattering its hold over you | tear your gaze away from the orb, breaking its hold | shake your head back and forth furiously, driving away the thoughts you know not to be your own | growl, "I am the bringer of nightmares, not you!" as you regain control
|-

Note: The segment [1] custom also dictates which nightmare you will see. The bracketed nightmare title will not appear in the actual roleplay action text; they were added here for your knowledge.
|-
! scope="row" | Tier 4
| Ambient Unlocked:

Without warning, you hear [RS] an animalistic shriek [/RS], causing you to [4] flinch [4] as you scan the area in search of the source. Finding no sign of it, you [5] release a slow breath and [/5] continue as you were.

Note: The bracketed RS stands for Random Sounds. There is a selection of 20 disturbing sounds from which one will be chosen when this ambient fires.
|-
! scope="row" | Tier 5
| Customizable Segments Unlocked:

[4] flinch (default) | freeze in place | widen your (eye color) eyes | suck in your breath | adopt a defensive posture<br>
[5] release a slow breath and (default) | wipe a bead of sweat from your forehead and | shrug to yourself and | chuckle nervously and | shiver with nervous energy before you
|-
! scope="row" | Tier 6
| Roleplay Ability Unlock: Directed Nightmare

(Name) has accepted your challenge. You focus on (name), and as you do so your orb floats in front of his/her face and transitions to [1] a glossy ebon black hue [/1] as you [6] watch with curiosity. [/6]

(Name's) eyes glaze over as he/she quickly succumbs to the nightmare you have prepared. After a brief albeit excruciating period of time, you decide to grant him/her relief and command your orb to cease. Obeying, it releases its hold and resumes its normal appearance before floating back to you.

Note: This is a targeted ability, but it is not like the sorcerer nightmare spell; it will do no actual harm. The above messaging shows the final part of the usage chain. You begin by challenging another player to view your nightmare, and that player will have the choice to accept or decline. If they accept, the above will occur.

Additionally, a 6th custom segment was introduced in this variant, and the potential choices you can choose from are:

[6] watch with curiosity. (default) | smirk cruelly. | state, "Feel my pain!" | observe stoically. | yawn dramatically.

''Wind blows o'er the rough seas,<br>

''When the heavens turn grey,''<br>
''Wise men lay anchor and stay.''
</center>

In the year 5125, the mana storms that had long made the southern seas impassable began to recede for the first time in living memory, opening access to waters that had been unreachable for generations. Among the most significant developments was the newfound ability to reach the [[Isle of Ornath]] without the aid of Chronomages, something previously thought impossible without their assistance.

The shift sparked excitement among sailors, cartographers, and traders, who saw opportunity in the newly navigable southern routes. For nearly a year, the seas remained relatively calm, and cautious optimism began to take hold among those eager to explore the newly opened waters.

Then something changed. Strange and powerful storms have begun to rise from the seas east of Ornath, traveling west and north toward the continent of Elanith. Unlike the conventional storms of the region, these disturbances carry an unsettling and unnatural quality, stirring unease among seasoned mariners and scholars alike. Whether they are a sign that the mana storms are returning, or something else entirely, remains unknown.

The southern seas, so recently full of promise and possibility, are beginning to feel dangerous once more.

== Summary ==
* 06/14/2026 - Storms start up in [[Isle of Ornath|Ornath]], [[Brisker's Cove]], [[River's Rest]], and [[Ta'Nalfein]]. The seas are rough and stormy. Scribes post warnings and [[Into the Squall (storyline)/An Invitation to Ornath|an invitation]] to Ornath on message boards around Elanith.

Although commoners opt to live simple lives, wisely preferring the mundane rituals of daily Elanthian life over the perils posed by alien planes and dimensions, the more ambitious have been lured to the powers they conceal like a moth to a flame. From the Faendryl who tore the rift at Maelshyve to battle Despana's undead hoards to the valence-traveling Empyreans that Elanthia's most stalwart heroes fight to repel, one thing is clear...

... one explores other planes at their own peril.

But what if not every plane hid demonic horrors and the stuff of children's nightmares? What if another valence harbored a powerful society that held, if not altruistic, at least collaborative motives?

'''They've Been Among Us'''

Watching. Learning. Recording. And based on their observations, she believes Elanthians could become a useful partner.

Who is she? That is something you will need to learn with time should you accept her invitation. And prove yourself worthy.

'''Welcome to Nyessem'''

Announced in the [[Creating Adventure - Q2 2026|Q2 Creating Adventures]], The Inquisitor is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, but you won't have to wait that long. On June 19th, we will be offering a preview of this event scheduled to run for at least a week, where you can begin learning about the Inquisitor and get a taste for what Nyessem has to offer.

But don't think of this as just a simple sneak preview. Think of it as a prologue, for this is a planned, small introduction to a far grander story.

'''FAQ'''

We would like to kick off this thread by addressing some questions that we would have as players and/or that have been asked by members of the GemStone community when this event was first announced in the Q2 Creating Adventures.

'''What is an event?'''

An event is a special happening that takes place for a limited time in Elanthia. They can be invasions, festivals, merchant visits, multi-month epic storylines, or even just a GM-run NPC engaging in smalltalk with town citizenry for an hour. It's those special touches where players come together to have fun, create memories, and potentially even influence the game world.

The Inquisitor will be an episodic event that introduces a new plane, new games, new player roleplay systems, a new progression system, and new storyline threads that will extend into Elanthia beyond the event itself.

'''Is this really a preview, or is it a beta test?'''

It's really a preview. The conceptual planning for this event began a couple years ago, and before any development even began we whiteboarded the vision and goals for the event. One of our original plans was for the first run to be a smaller-scale prologue event that we would drop without much forewarning. This is largely for story and pacing reasons; this is the introduction to an episodic storyline, and as such it will intentionally leave many questions unanswered.

That having been said, this event has some ambitious systems, some of which won't be "visible" to you but can also be used outside of Inquisitor purposes. With everything being built from the ground up, despite our thorough testing, it's possible for bugs to try and slip through. Rest assured that the team will be monitoring carefully to stomp out any potential bugs as quickly as possible.

'''Is this a silver-based event?'''

No, this event will have its own form of currency.

'''Am I going to need to deal with FOMO?'''

Very little. While we can't guarantee there will never be exclusives available during a specific run or that certain wares may not be swapped out after time, we can say that the primary system this event is built around is intended to be evergreen and low-pressure.

'''Low pressure how?'''

* Less demanding for you. We can't go into detail about the systems right now since they haven't been launched yet, but we can assure you that steady progression over the span of multiple runs is a design goal. The system isn't going to try and force you to obtain and/or maximize everything within a run or lose out. Except for rare exclusive cases, whatever is introduced in an event will still be waiting for you in future runs.
* Less demanding for GMs. Like Rings of Lumnis, most systems that are built for Inquisitor will be self-running, so a launch of Inquisitor will not require significant GM time or attention.,

'''Will the event be accessible for everyone?'''

If you have a subscription of any tier, your character will be able to own most of what the prologue offers rather easily depending on your preferences and choices (going wide or going deep). Maximum progression cannot be expected, but you'll have the opportunity to walk away with plenty and then decide which favorites you'd like to continue progressing in the future.

'''Will this event impact GemStone development or storylines?'''

Not in a negative manner, no. As touched on above, this event is being built from the ground up to require very little GM time to maintain. Those working on Inquisitor volunteered because they are excited about the vision and story, and the event has no impact on their, or any teams', projects. If anything, some of the technology we're using in this event can benefit future design outside the event; there are certain things underneath the hood that you won't see.

As far as storylines are concerned, this event will not detract from existing or new storylines, but it may well add to them.

The Inquisitor story branches have the potential to creep well beyond Nyessem, and we've been bouncing thoughts with Thandiwe / Worlds as to how this storyline will be integrated with Elanthia for over a year. For example, since 2025, some Elanthians have noticed some changes in the mana storms around Ornath. I wonder if that might be related…

If you're all about the games, goodies, and fun, then you'll find plenty of it! But if you are also interested in those quiet roleplay moments and/or storylines within broader Elanthia, our goal is to help enrich that roleplay and lore, not detract from it.

'''Can you share the post-prologue release schedule?'''

As announced in the Q2 Creating Adventures, we will be running Inquisitor again in Q4, and there will be some additional new content released at that time.

For 2027 and beyond, unfortunately, we cannot share a release schedule at this time, but we can say:
* The tentative plan is to potentially have one "larger" chapter each year where event additions are more numerous and/or ambitious. Other runs of Inquisitor during the year will likely be more subdued, potentially with smaller new content releases or even none at all so that you can just enjoy the games and continue progression on your existing items.
* Remember that if / when Inquisitor's smaller openings take place, there's no need to worry. No one is going to be placed on a hamster wheel as we've seen above; if you miss a run or would prefer to skip one, you'll be able to pick up where you left off during the next one. We don't want FOMO or event burnout; we want an event where everyone can kick back and engage at their own pace without feeling pressured.
* We're bringing new approaches to this event, and whether you value power progression, roleplay utility, or storylines, we hope to draw you into the world of Nyessem.

'''The Inquisitor: Explore Your Vissi'''

Even among Nyessemian nobility, just a select group has been granted the right to wield arcarium, a pair of powerful magical artifacts that house the Orbs of Vicissitude. For you see, only one holds the secrets to their creation, and she alone decides who may wield them.

And if she sees fit to share her powerful creations with select Elanthians, then who shall tell her otherwise?

'''Artifacts Designed By You, For You'''

These Orbs are more than just powerful artifacts; they are the framework for the vissi system, whereby you can customize these artifacts to YOUR tastes. And when we say customize, we don't just mean selecting which abilities you'd like to wield. No, not at all; what we mean is… well… you'll soon see. This is just a teaser, after all.

Suffice it to say, it's an ambitious system that marries rich lore, character personalization, and raw power together in an equal fusion.

Oh, did we forget to mention that all subscribers will receive a set of arcarium (among other goodies) for free? We look forward to welcoming you to Nyessem starting June 19th.

}}

Today for our final teaser, we'd like to follow up yesterday's post by sharing some details about a specific vissi that we feel represents the flexibility and scale of the vissi system: the Collector.

'''Capture the Grinsawl'''

On Nyessem there exists a vissi that even many arcarium owners refuse to speak of, for it holds the power to snatch the very essence of a creature and forever trap it in a grinsawl. And why would some opt to collect grinsawl?

Because they can.

Among tight circles, grinsawl represent the ultimate trophies. Permanent reminders of past conquests, and a source of status among peers. And while the more reserved collectors are content with simple grinsawl, the truly elite seek not to just capture, but to perfect. To them, the ultimate quest is obtaining the elusive gold-sealed grinsawl.

Soon, you too will have the opportunity to obtain this forbidden vissi as well as an arcane tome designed specifically to safely store and showcase grinsawl. Capture a collection of creatures ranging from the mundane to the epic, from the common to the rarely seen, such as the unique invaders that sometimes plague Elanthia, rarely or never to be seen again.

Reminisce about past adventures, study some of the attributes of the creatures you collected, and show your collection off to others to prove you are one of Elanthia's elite Collectors.

And who knows… if Elanthians earn the Lady's trust, she just may unlock the deeper secrets of the grinsawl in the future.

Into the Squall (storyline)/2026-06-18 - A sailor named Josef (log)

2026-06-18T23:27:46Z

GS4-KAONASHI: An old dark-skinned sailor named Josef, in the throes of a waning fugue state, appeared in Wehimer's Landing

Speaking softly to an old dark-skinned sailor, Channell says, "Haven't seen any others'."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "How odd."

Lightning streaks down from the sky, crackling and charging the air.

Palantear gazes up into the sky.

Palantear grumbles.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "I remember a place, of pure white stone. There were so many people, and each of them was so happy to see me. But I remember being very, very afraid."

Speaking heartily to an old dark-skinned sailor, Chamorr says, "Stand still, let Channel examine ya fer wounds."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "P... please."

An old dark-skinned sailor sits down next to some wide stone benches.

Speaking heartily to Channell, Chamorr says, "Check him over."

Channell softly says, "He seems okay."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "It comes in bits and pieces. Sometimes I feel like I'm about to remember something, but then it just disappears, like it's hitting a wall in my mind."

Speaking heartily to an old dark-skinned sailor, Chamorr says, "Well, theres that, yer in one piece."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "I remember being together with many people, but not many were like me."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "Dwarves... elves... humans... half-krolvin... you name it."

An old dark-skinned sailor asks, "We were in some... place. And they wanted us to... something... there was magic? I think? And many, many people in... robes?"

Speaking heartily to an old dark-skinned sailor, Chamorr says, "Could be anyplace this is a very diverse land."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "And then I remember... floating on the ocean."

Gentleman Hoorne just arrived.

Hoorne squints at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply says, "My gods, Josef, there you are."

Hoorne waves to the sailor.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Is he... okay? Where did you get off to?"

Hoorne shakes his head at an old dark-skinned sailor and clucks his tongue.

Chamorr glances at Hoorne.

Channell softly asks, "Just floating?"

An old dark-skinned sailor asks, "H... Hoorne?"

Channell softly asks, "Floating alone?"

An old dark-skinned sailor sways in place, his eyes crossed.

Hoorne deeply says, "I think I can explain."

Hoorne sighs.

Hoorne deeply asks, "So, these storms have been bad, yeah?"

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "He dont remember much, but hes in one piece."

Palantear turns an inquisitive ear toward Hoorne.

Hoorne deeply says, "I've been traveling, barely, across these storms. Dangerous stuff."

Ghrath turns an inquisitive ear toward Hoorne.

Channell nods at Hoorne.

Hecuba hugs Chamorr.

Hoorne deeply says, "But what I do know is that many, many people met on Ornath the other night."

Hecuba pushes on Ghrath without much success.

Hecuba turns to Hoorne and cheers!

Hoorne deeply says, "Word of that has reached my ears."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr asks, "His name is joseph?"

Hoorne deeply says, "Josef, yes."

Hecuba offers Hoorne an iced cinnamon roll slathered in cream cheese frosting.

Hoorne declines Hecuba's offer.

Hoorne deeply says, "Sorry, no thank you."

Hoorne nods at Hecuba.

Hoorne deeply says, "Okay, let me explain."

Blushing slightly, Hecuba glances away from Hoorne as she drops into a demure curtsy.

Hoorne deeply says, "I was sailing between Kraken's Fall and here, on business."

Speaking heartily to an old dark-skinned sailor, Chamorr says, "Yer name is josef."

Hoorne deeply says, "When... I found him. Floating. Clinging desperately to some flotsam near Darkstone Bay."

An old dark-skinned sailor nods.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "Darkstone."

Hecuba curtsies to an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne sighs.

Ghrath performs a distinctly dwarven bow to an old dark-skinned sailor.

Speaking to an old dark-skinned sailor, Hecuba asks, "Are you in need of anything?"

Hoorne deeply says, "So, let me back up."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Dont fall."

Hecuba giggles at Chamorr.

Hoorne deeply says, "The other night, a strange person met with representatives from across Elanthia. Apparently, she was the herald of some bigwig Inquisitor from... and you're not going to believe this... a different *plane* of reality."

Hoorne sways back and forth.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "I... inquisitor."

Hoorne nods to the dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Exactly. What do you remember, Josef?"

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "Inquisitor."

Palantear scratches at his beard.

Chamorr heartily says, "Gotta love inquisitors."

Pukk says, "Reality is subjective anyways."

Channell softly asks, "Different plane of reality?"

Pukk smirks.

An old dark-skinned sailor sways in place, his eyes crossed.

Freonzikte squints at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply says, "Apparently so. Not, like, some island, or fortress, or whatever."

Hoorne deeply asks, "But something outside of place and time, some place I can't even really fathom, right?"

Evko squints.

A boom of thunder blasts through the grey skies.

Channell nods at Hoorne.

Hoorne deeply says, "I know. It's nigh unbelieveable. But, seemingly, it is happening."

Channell softly says, "Like a dream, but not."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Like that ithzar plane a ew years back."

Hoorne deeply says, "Not the first time I am to understand. But I lack broader historical insight."

Hoorne chuckles.

Hoorne deeply says, "Exactly, Chamorr. Like that, maybe."

Vymmer grins.

Vymmer hugs Channell, who wraps him in a warm embrace.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "N... nyessem."

Hoorne glances at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply asks, "What was that, Josef?"

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "N... Nyessem. I remember that name."

Lightning streaks down from the sky, crackling and charging the air.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Curious. That is what the woman on Ornath, this herald I mentioned, called her home. The home of this... Inquisitor, was it?"

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr asks, "Mean anything to you?"

Hoorne deeply says, "Not me specifically, but word has reached my ears of the meeting that took place the other night. And what Josef here is saying meshes with some of the facts therein."

Chamorr heartily says, "Ahhh."

Hoorne ponders.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "W... water. Endless waves."

Channell softly says, "I need to rescue, sorry I'll be right back."

Hoorne deeply says, "There there, Josef."

Channell flags down a nearby urchin and exchanges a few words. The urchin nods to Channell and takes off, with Channell in tow.

Hoorne sighs.

Mianyn waves to Hoorne.

Hoorne deeply says, "I sailed with this man once. Not closely, mind you, but I recognize him. So when I saw him... floating there... in the water, I had to help."

Hoorne deeply says, "Not that I wouldn't have helped some random person afloat."

Hoorne chuckles.

A rush of air blows through the area, bringing a sheet of heavy rain with it.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "I have heard of that meetong from folks eho was there."

Hoorne nods at Mianyn.

Mianyn grins at Hoorne.

Hoorne deeply asks, "What have you heard?"

Hoorne squints at Chamorr.

Palantear turns an inquisitive ear toward Chamorr.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "W... white walls, aglow."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Three days a door is gonna open to this plane."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Three days. From two nights ago, then?"

Hoorne deeply asks, "So... tomorrow?"

Hoorne deeply says, "Yikes."

Chamorr nods.

Hoorne turns to face an old dark-skinned sailor.

Speaking deeply to an old dark-skinned sailor, Hoorne asks, "What else do you remember, Josef?"

A boom of thunder blasts through the grey skies.

An old dark-skinned sailor stares forward, not noticing the interaction.

Speaking heartily to Mianyn, Chamorr says, "I was talkin to Pup and Regwen, they were there."

Mianyn says, "Ooooh."

Mianyn nods at Chamorr.

Mianyn says, "Well hopefully it gets the rain to stop."

Mianyn grins.

Hoorne deeply asks, "They were? Okay, well that's a relief, knowing responsible people were present. I heard some of my Kraken's Fall friends were also there, so I'm guessing this isn't just a Landing Issue, or an issue for my town. This is for... all of us?"

The ghostly voice of Reptilax says, "I need a Chrism.."

Mianyn says, "Im sick of the rain."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "A... all of us."

Mianyn grumbles.

Hoorne glances around the area.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Cant say im lookin forward to openin doors."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Reptilax is dead. Were you also taken by... these people?"

Hoorne squints at Reptilax.

Channell softly says, "I think he was killed by a ghoul master."

The ghostly voice of Reptilax says, "I am distracted.. I need a Chrism... I'll pay."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Nahh, he just lead wif his head."

The ground trembles as rolling thunder resounds throughout the sky.

Vymmer chuckles.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "I.. was afraid, but it wasn't their fault. I think. They..."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Not their fault?"

Hoorne squints at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply says, "Curious."

Hoorne sighs.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "What do you know about tjis door."

Hoorne deeply says, "Sorry to interrupt everyone's routine here. I pulled this one out of the water, docked my ship, and went to attend to some matters."

Hoorne deeply says, "When I returned, he had vanished, and now I find him here."

An old dark-skinned sailor sways in place, his eyes crossed.

Tiad says, "Much orbs."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Orbs?"

Palantear says, "No no."

Vymmer quietly says, "We can get him cleaned up and a room at the inn and a hot meal."

Vymmer quietly says, "Maybe he will remember more after a nice rest."

Palantear says, "Orbs for chrisms."

Hoorne deeply says, "Ah."

Hoorne begins chuckling at Palantear!

Triex says, "And rum."

Speaking softly to Hoorne, Channell says, "I think he's a little confused so wandered off."

Lightning streaks down from the sky, crackling and charging the air.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "You gonna take good care a him."

Speaking to Chamorr, Mianyn says, "Maybe he bumped his head."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Funny, because the correspondence I read from the meeting the other night mentioned orbs as well. Great artifacts of power that apparently were being tested on... or by... our friend here, maybe?"

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "I... was not... strong."

Hoorne ponders.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Heard about that too, they gonna give us great power."

Speaking deeply to Chamorr, Hoorne asks, "You mention a door. Do you have insight into what that means?"

The clouds light up in an array of blue, white, and violet hues.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "I say, at what price."

Hoorne deeply says, "All great things come at a price. Be it chrisms for the dead or artifacts of power for the already-powerful."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Portal openin all over the lands."

Hoorne deeply says, "All over the lands, you say."

Hoorne deeply says, "Then no one is avoiding... whatever is coming next."

Chamorr heartily says, "Thats what i heard, i wasnt there."

Hoorne ponders.

Hoorne deeply says, "I wonder if there's profit to be had in this."

Vymmer quietly asks, "Should we expect dangers coming out of the doors? or access for us to enter profitable realms?"

An old dark-skinned sailor asks, "H... Hoorne? That you?"

Palantear asks, "Would that be wise?"

Alchon just went west.

Speaking to Hoorne, Mianyn says, "Always profit to be had."

Hoorne deeply says, "A fair question, Vymmer."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "How can ya avoid something thats gonna happen."

The ground trembles as rolling thunder resounds throughout the sky.

Hoorne deeply says, "The herald of this... Inquisitor... she seemed fair but it was hard to tell. She promised a collaboration, in theory."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "I... inquistor. Yes. I remember that word."

Mianyn peers quizzically at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Mianyn asks, "Is he the inquisitor?"

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "I like right where i am."

Vymmer quietly says, "I would like to meet these Inquisitors.. see what they would trade for the knowledge and power they offer."

Triex says, "There are ways to avoid something that's going to happen. For example, I avoided my first divorce by avoiding my first marraige."

Vymmer quietly says, "Nothing is free in this world.. it wil surely have a steep price."

Hoorne deeply says, "Seems like Josef here was indeed one of those lost in a fugue state. Several more were returned apparently at this meeting on Ornath the other night. There might be more out there, though, judging by my friend here."

Triex nods.

Hoorne nods in agreement at Vymmer.

Speaking heartily to Reptilax, Chamorr says, "Yer first born."

Palantear begins chuckling at Triex!

Leyann snickers.

Triex grins.

Mianyn giggles at Channell.

Hoorne deeply says, "Me also, Vymmer. Although, frankly, the unknown is both exciting and terrifying. If Josef here was left in a near-stupor, how will the rest of us manage."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Sorry."

Hoorne deeply says, "Although... my friend... you are no adventurer."

Hoorne grins at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Vymmer quietly says, "I say we send Chamorr in one of the doors with a rope tied around his waist."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "A... adventure."

Mianyn looks thoughtfully at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Vymmer quietly says, "He can scout it out and we can pull him back through if needed."

Mianyn giggles at Vymmer.

Hoorne deeply says, "Well, I do have lots of rope. True enough."

Hoorne chuckles.

Vymmer quietly says, "Like 3 of us can maybe pull him back through."

Triex peers quizzically at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Vymmer grins.

An old dark-skinned sailor waves to Triex.

Mianyn says, "What if the rope breaks."

Mianyn frowns at Vymmer.

Speaking to Triex, an old dark-skinned sailor asks, "W... were you lost, too?"

Triex nods politely to the dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne shakes his head at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Vymmer quietly says, "We use magic to reinforce the rope."

Hoorne deeply says, "No, Josef. That is merely Triex."

Vymmer nods.

Triex grins.

Hoorne deeply says, "Rope jokes aside, I think the sentiment is right."

Triex nods in agreement at Hoorne.

Vymmer quietly asks, "An envoy perhaps?"

Hoorne deeply says, "We must not let a potential opportunity pass us. We must act as the envoys to this new land, agreed. But we also must care for each other in doing so."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr asks, "What? send me in to find out?"

Mianyn nods at Chamorr.

Vymmer quietly says, "A team that can show strength and also compassion.. maybe also someone skilled at making deals."

Vymmer nods.

Speaking to Chamorr, Mianyn says, "With a rope that may or may not break."

Mianyn grins at Chamorr.

Hoorne deeply says, "I mean, are you willing? I know others will go tomorrow. But each and every person who voyages forth is a useful representative of Elanthia."

Hoorne deeply says, "Exactly, Vymmer. EXACTLY."

Vymmer quietly says, "Our first impression might be extremely important."

Hoorne deeply says, "We do not know exactly what these people want. We *do* know that their... magic?... is powerful and potentially dangerous, but they claim sincerety in their motives."

Mianyn nods at Vymmer.

Vymmer quietly says, "Where if we show strength.. they could see us a strong allies.. better discounts for willingness to aid them."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Acourse i am goin, but i will tryto watch the teams back, not lookin fer orbs."

Hoorne deeply asks, "We go, with open eyes, strong arms, and clear purpose? To represent ourselves and Elanthia?"

Speaking to Vymmer, Mianyn says, "Or maybe that would spark their generosity."

Vymmer nods at Mianyn.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "S... sleep."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Dont think i wont whack dem."

Hoorne deeply says, "Soon, friend, soon. Let me just finish up with our friends here."

Vymmer quietly says, "We should send a gift."

Channell softly asks, "When are we suppose to go?"

Vymmer quietly says, "With the team."

Vymmer quietly says, "To show our good intentions."

Hoorne deeply asks, "A gift?"

Mianyn nods at Vymmer.

Palantear asks, "And where?"

Vymmer quietly says, "A gift is always a good first step."

Mianyn says, "Aye something nice."

Hoorne deeply says, "Unclear Vymmer. Some time tomorrow, apparently, the way will just... open."

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

Mianyn says, "Maybe some baked goods."

Hoorne deeply says, "Their magic is so strong they can simply allow us passage, it seems."

Channell nods at Hoorne.

Speaking heartily to Mianyn, Chamorr says, "I am a gift."

Chamorr strikes a heroic pose.

Speaking curiously to Hoorne, Triex asks, "How did you come about this old sailor and managing to rescue him?"

Hoorne deeply says, "Well, the way they said it, they want... brace yourselves... test subjects."

Palantear nods.

Vymmer points at Chamorr.

Speaking softly to Chamorr, Channell says, "You are a gift, your wife might object to us giving you away."

Chamorr heartily says, "See."

Vymmer quietly says, "He's already been through every test imaginable."

Palantear says, "Ok. I'm count me out."

Vymmer quietly says, "He can take it."

Hoorne deeply asks, "It sounds spooky, but... I am not sure. Open eyes, with the strongest of us going first?"

Hoorne chuckles.

Palantear mutters testsubjects.

Channell softly says, "Very strong."

Palantear points at Chamorr.

Palantear says, "I agree."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Not testin on me."

Triex nods.

Mianyn says, "Aye send Chamorr."

Hoorne deeply says, "After all, Josef here wasn't the hardiest... I wouldn't say his abilities are a fair representation of the Elanthian adventurer class."

Lightning streaks down from the sky, crackling and charging the air.

Speaking softly to Hoorne, Channell says, "Okay strong, we'll discuss brave later."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "See, its good to have so many friends."

Hoorne deeply asks, "In fact, wasn't that specifically called out by our visitors? That they had some... weaker... sorts like him fail their tests?"

Hoorne ponders.

Hoorne shrugs.

Hoorne deeply says, "I'll follow behind you all."

Hoorne chuckles.

Vymmer quietly says, "I am not afraid to try and fail."

Vymmer flexes his muscles.

Vymmer quietly says, "If it means access to power."

Speaking to Hoorne, Mianyn says, "Stay in the back with me and we'll share the snacks."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "P... power. O... orbs."

Hoorne glances at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Orbs?"

Palantear blinks at an old dark-skinned sailor.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "Silver. Glorious. I..."

Hoorne deeply says, "Curious."

A flash of lightning lights up the sky, followed by a rumble of thunder.

Artwick just arrived.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Josef... how did you end up clinging to bits of wood in Darkstone Bay?"

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "What have you heard, what can we expect."

Hoorne nods at Chamorr.

Hoorne deeply says, "While my friend considers that, let me consider your question."

Hoorne ponders.

Hoorne deeply says, "I know what you know. I know of the woman that came to the meeting. I know what she promised. And I know people like Josef here have now appeared, "returned" to us as it were."

Hoorne deeply says, "This is more mysterious than even my most convoluted of plots, but probably with a higher potential of return."

Hoorne chuckles.

Lightning streaks down from the sky, crackling and charging the air.

Chamorr heartily says, "Ahhh, hes one of the tests."

Vymmer quietly says, "What about those of us who are lacking in the magical arts.. how can we possibly try to harness the power of these orbs without the training."

Hoorne nods at Chamorr.

Hoorne deeply says, "That seems plausible, but I can't know for sure."

Speaking deeply to Vymmer, Hoorne says, "Magic is shorthand. This herald seemed to suggest that Elanthian adventurers, regardless of their skill sets, would be both welcome and just fine."

Vymmer nods.

Hoorne deeply says, "But only one way to know for sure, I suppose."

Mianyn says, "Well that's good to know."

Hoorne deeply says, "To see with our own eyes."

Speaking heartily to Vymmer, Chamorr says, "When they get done testin a probin ya, you'll want an orb."

Hoorne deeply says, "Maybe you'll become an orb."

Vymmer's face turns slightly pale.

Hoorne grins at Vymmer.

Mianyn asks, "Probin!?"

Palantear gags.

Mianyn says, "Who said anything about probing."

Mianyn glances at Chamorr.

Vymmer quietly says, "If I become an orb I want Channell to have me."

Hoorne deeply says, "If there's probing, I might just let you go first."

Hoorne turns to face an old dark-skinned sailor.

Vymmer quietly says, "She always takes great care of me."

Speaking to Hoorne, Mercucius says, "Don't mention the arachnids."

Speaking deeply to an old dark-skinned sailor, Hoorne asks, "Do you... remember anything like that?"

Mianyn says, "If there's spiders im not going."

Mianyn folds her arms over her chest.

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "P... probe? N.. no. Water. On the ocean. After the bright place."

Minikins just arrived.

Chamorr heartily says, "How to serve man."

Hoorne deeply says, "Okay, so maybe no probing."

Vymmer quietly says, "Please tell these Inquistitors that if there are any arachnids involved.. or new species in their realm."

Hoorne shrugs.

Vymmer quietly says, "All deals are off."

Minikins waves to Mianyn.

Vymmer nods.

Vymmer quietly says, "No exceptions."

Hoorne begins chuckling at Vymmer!

Mianyn says, "I dont want no spiders or no probin."

Hoorne deeply says, "I am not a fan of spiders, either, yes."

Several lightning strikes cause the area to be blinded in a searing white light.

Hoorne deeply says, "Okay, so we're making a list of what we *don't* want in this potential partership. No spiders. No... probes."

Hoorne's face turns slightly pale.

Vymmer nods.

Vymmer quietly says, "Good start."

Mianyn nods at Hoorne.

Chamorr laughs!

Hoorne deeply says, "Well, Josef here seems in one piece, more or less."

Minikins turns to face Hoorne.

Hoorne squints at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Minikins asks, "What is happening here bout?"

Speaking deeply to an old dark-skinned sailor, Hoorne asks, "Do you recall any creatures?"

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Right, ya think they'll listen."

An old dark-skinned sailor shakes his head.

Mianyn says, "That fella banged his head."

Mianyn points at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Vymmer quietly asks, "Did he go through to the other side? or did he somehow use an orb on our side?"

Vymmer peers quizzically at Hoorne.

An old dark-skinned sailor asks, "N... no. Only people... like us... in robes?"

Minikins points at Hoorne.

An old dark-skinned sailor asks, "Maybe?"

Minikins says, "That one eh."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "Or was that the bathhouse."

Hoorne rolls his eyes.

Hoorne deeply says, "Great."

Minikins turns to face an old dark-skinned sailor.

Minikins turns an inquisitive ear toward an old dark-skinned sailor.

Mianyn says, "And he used to be an inquisitor or something."

Mianyn nods at Minikins.

Hoorne deeply says, "Minikins, sorry. We're in a bit of a spot here."

Lightning streaks down from the sky, crackling and charging the air.

Minikins's face turns slightly pale.

Hoorne deeply says, "Josef here. That's the sailor's name... I found him floating in the bay. He apparently was one of those folks vanished by this... Inquisitor? I believe she's called? For whatever purposes."

Hoorne deeply asks, "I think that's a fair summary, yes?"

Mianyn nods at Minikins.

Minikins asks, "And he is alive and washed up now eh?"

Minikins peers quizzically at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne nods at Minikins.

Hoorne deeply says, "Seems so."

Mianyn says, "Yes much better than my summary."

Vymmer quietly says, "We should search for more survivors."

Vymmer quietly says, "If more were taken."

An old dark-skinned sailor sways in place, drooling slightly.

Hoorne deeply says, "A bunch were repatriated the other night, yes."

Mianyn says, "And he looks like he needs stiff drink."

Mianyn nods to the dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply says, "Bound to be a few more that wash up over the coming who knows how long.

The clouds light up in an array of blue, white, and violet hues.

Minikins ponders.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Hes a sailor, i think he needs some rum."

Hoorne removes a small cup of dark rum from in his brocade overrobe.

Mianyn agrees with Chamorr.

The sailor moves out of Hoorne's way and glances at him.

Minikins says, "The Otter Queen will be busy."

Hoorne deeply says, "Maybe not."

Hoorne takes a drink from his dark rum.

Minikins asks, "Is there questioning happening?"

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "Q... questions."

Hoorne deeply asks, "What sort of questioning?"

Vymmer quietly says, "Some doors will appear tomorrow."

Hoorne deeply says, "What Vymmer said. We're mostly rehashing at this point because, frankly, we lack insight."

Minikins asks, "To sail if the dolphins or otters helped get ya back?"

Vymmer quietly says, "We have been "invited" to join their realm for potential alliances."

Hoorne deeply says, "Which is kind of exciting if you don't mind me saying so, present fugue individuals aside."

Hoorne chuckles.

Speaking to Minikins, Mianyn says, "We dont know if they good or bad but... we are sending Chamorr."

A boom of thunder blasts through the grey skies.

Minikins ponders.

Hoorne deeply says, "Yeah. They seem powerful but not outwardly malevolent. Very, very strong, if they can just open a way for us all to visit them in their plane of reality."

Minikins says, "He can protect himself no doubt."

Mianyn nods at Minikins.

Minikins turns to face Hoorne.

Mianyn says, "We giving him a rope too."

Mianyn nods at Minikins.

Minikins asks, "As the sea folk traders did last year?"

Hoorne deeply says, "Yeah. Rope for everyone. Or at least go together in a group."

Mianyn grins at Hoorne.

Vymmer quietly says, "We should bring an orb back for testing.. to see how it reacts to the magic in our realm."

Vymmer quietly says, "There could be unforseen consequences."

Hoorne deeply says, "I must confess, this has caught me a little flat-footed. I typically pride myself on knowing things. I have no idea what happens next, and that scares me."

Mianyn says, "Oh and if Vymmer is turned into an orb."

Mianyn says, "He goes to Channell."

Mianyn nods at Minikins.

The clouds light up in an array of blue, white, and violet hues.

Hoorne deeply says, "But."

Hoorne deeply says, "I am increasingly confident."

Hoorne deeply says, "After talking to you all."

Hoorne deeply says, "Since I feel better than Elanthia will be sending its best."

Vymmer quietly says, "Well we should spread the word so people are not caught unprepared tomorrow."

Hoorne deeply says, "I will rally my friends in Kraken's Fall to help, if they're willing."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "We be sendin da hooligans."

Minikins says, "Yardie and Tabubu certainky."

Hoorne deeply says, "Agreed. We should let people know that, while they need not necessarily be afraid, be wary and go together. We are stronger together, after all."

Vymmer quietly says, "We might have some older folks miss a beat if they see a strange door appear."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "T... together."

An old dark-skinned sailor stands up.

Hoorne deeply says, "Easy there, Josef."

Hoorne nods to the dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne nods at Vymmer.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "You takin josef wif ya."

A rush of air blows through the area, bringing a sheet of heavy rain with it.

Hoorne deeply says, "I am certain that, once it becomes clear what is happening tomorrow, word will spread like wildfire."

Vymmer nods.

Hoorne deeply says, "Yeah I'll take Josef when I depart."

Minikins says, "My folks did not fare well in other realms for a great time."

Hoorne deeply says, "He can come home to Kraken's Fall with me."

Minikins shudders.

Hoorne deeply says, "He's not from anywhere, but everywhere."

Hoorne chuckles.

Chamorr nods.

Vymmer quietly says, "We will take good care of any more survivors we find."

Vymmer nods at Hoorne.

Vymmer bows respectfully, his eyes fixed firmly on the ground.

The flower girl sits down to rest and carefully rearranges her dress.

Mianyn agrees with Vymmer.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Let us know if ya find out more."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Yes. Please do keep an eye open for others who might be in a fugue state, including anyone that might yet remain... in... what was their home called again?"

Hoorne squints.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Nyessem?"

Hoorne deeply says, "Hm."

Vymmer quietly asks, "Do we have any inclination they might have sent some scouts over to our realm?"

Veneyeth raises an eyebrow in Hoorne's direction.

Minikins waves a hand at the flower girl, shooing her off.

Hoorne deeply says, "There may be more Elanthians yet to find, so that at least is worthy of our time."

Hoorne nods at Vymmer.

Hoorne deeply says, "Yes."

Hoorne deeply says, "From what I have read, they already have a foothold here in Elanthia... somewhere."

Minikins asks, "Shall we search the beach?"

Vymmer's jaw drops.

Hoorne deeply says, "And I don't doubt that, if they can find us here, they can find us anywhere."

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "We will keep a weathered eye fer them."

Hoorne deeply says, "But, to be clear, they profess fair intentions."

Hoorne deeply says, "So I want to give them a chance to prove it."

Mianyn says, "Im not sure if i like them finding me anywhere."

Mianyn shivers.

Hoorne deeply asks, "Trust, but verify, ya?"

Vymmer nods.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Swing first ask questions later."

Khaell says, "Powers rise and fall constantly against the walls of the landin. As many have come to take this place as years I've lived. Another will not alter my course."

Hoorne deeply says, "Ha. I like your attitude, but be careful. These folks strike me as... powerful."

Speaking to Chamorr, Mianyn says, "That's always been my motto."

Speaking softly to Chamorr, Channell says, "That is an absolute warrior response."

Hoorne deeply says, "Perhaps negotiation is more prudent."

Minikins says, "Give em poison food first. Then the antidote."

Vymmer quietly says, "That's the best way to know how strong they are."

Vymmer quietly says, "See how hard they hit back."

Vymmer quietly says, "Chamorr can take it."

An old dark-skinned sailor says, "H... Hoorne... rest."

Triex sadly says, "That survivor isn't the real mystery, he's more-so proof of A mystery."

Hoorne deeply says, "Okay friend, okay."

Mianyn reaches out to pat the dark-skinned sailor and quickly stops.

Hoorne deeply says, "I am going to return Josef to my ship so he can sleep."

Speaking curiously to an old dark-skinned sailor, Triex asks, "You've seen many strange people in your travels. Have you ever met a civilization that wasn't evil, wasn't good, but simply had different ideas about what people are for?"

Mianyn nods at Hoorne.

Mianyn says, "Good idea."

Minikins rubs her hands together, smiling slightly as she glances at an old dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply says, "Thanks for helping him until I could find you all."

Hoorne deeply says, "Sorry for the trouble."

Vymmer quietly says, "We shall spread the word."

Speaking softly to an old dark-skinned sailor, Channell says, "Rest well."

Mianyn says, "No trouble."

Speaking understandingly to Hoorne, Triex says, "Understandable, but so many questions still."

Minikins turns to face an old dark-skinned sailor.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Thanks fer the info, we will be ready."

Hoorne deeply says, "Yeah. This is very uncertain, and that is scary... but..."

Hoorne grins.

Minikins says, "Not everyone wats to brawl with ya."

Hoorne deeply asks, "Opportunity abounds?"

Hoorne shrugs.

Minikins begins chuckling at Hoorne!

Minikins says, "But what manner of opportunity."

Hoorne deeply says, "Any way. Storms or no, I make with the tide. Back to Kraken's Fall with my friend here."

Hoorne deeply says, "Thank you all for helping me and discussing this situation."

Khaell says, "Opportunity to bury more who would bring ill will to the lands."

Minikins curtsies to Hoorne.

Minikins curtsies to an old dark-skinned sailor.

Sweeping his arm outward, Vymmer bows low in a grand fashion before Hoorne.

Speaking to Hoorne, Mianyn says, "Nice to see you and thanks for the heads up."

Hoorne points northeast.

Speaking heartily to Hoorne, Chamorr says, "Always welcome."

Minikins says, "Get the water out."

An old dark-skinned sailor asks, "T... time?"

Hoorne nods to the dark-skinned sailor.

Hoorne deeply says, "We depart, old friend."

The ground trembles as rolling thunder resounds throughout the sky.

An old dark-skinned sailor just went northeast.

''Wise men lay anchor and stay.''
</center>

In the year 5125, the mana storms that had long made the southern seas impassable began to recede for the first time in living memory, opening access to waters that had been unreachable for generations. Among the most significant developments was the newfound ability to reach the [[Isle of Ornath]] without the aid of Chronomages, something previously thought impossible without their assistance.

The shift sparked excitement among sailors, cartographers, and traders, who saw opportunity in the newly navigable southern routes. For nearly a year, the seas remained relatively calm, and cautious optimism began to take hold among those eager to explore the newly opened waters.

Then something changed. Strange and powerful storms have begun to rise from the seas east of Ornath, traveling west and north toward the continent of Elanith. Unlike the conventional storms of the region, these disturbances carry an unsettling and unnatural quality, stirring unease among seasoned mariners and scholars alike. Whether they are a sign that the mana storms are returning, or something else entirely, remains unknown.

The southern seas, so recently full of promise and possibility, are beginning to feel dangerous once more.

Into the Squall (storyline)/Recaps (summary)

2026-06-18T23:23:14Z

GS4-KAONASHI: Updated for 6/18

== Into the Squall Recaps ==

===6/16/2026===

The meeting on Ornath included adventurers and representatives from various locations around Elanthia ([[Fevronia]] of the Lumnasi Viragos, [[Tantolo]] the scribe of Biblia, [[Tirestyn]] the Evashiran storm-seer, Magister [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe|Odelgarde]], Captain [[Igges]], [[Kynsella a'Vatale|Kynsella]], [[Atrioi]]). As we were all standing around discussing the mana storm and its effects, a robed figure came in and demanded that we '''[[Into_the_Squall_(storyline)/Representatives_Speech|BEHOLD]]'''. She said she was from an extraplanar world called [[Nyessem]], and she had a handful of Elanthians with her who she called "test subjects" who seemed to have been addled and wiped of some of their memories because she said they weren't "worthy" of the power. The figure said we adventurers are worthy and invited us to her world for an exchange of power and partnership with the Our Lady the Inquisitor, '''[[Luari Maivaldius]]'''. She said we can access it through Brayern Isle, which is at the center of the mana storms, and that we would be invited in three days time when the storms would part and the way would open.

Then she poofed, and the "test subjects" went home with some of the representatives (to [[Solhaven]], [[Ta'Vaalor|Vaalor]], and [[Teras Isle|Teras]]) to help them recover.

===6/17/2026===

The woman who returned to Solhaven with [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe|Odelgarde]] from Ornath, who we have learned is named Saffaey, arrived in North Market. She was still in a "fugue" state but was more talkative. We learned that she didn't want to go back to her home near the Bronze Boar, and she didn't like the room of doorknobs in Zelia's Temple or find the Sisters of Lunacy helpful. She talked about how she also didn't like the rain and she didn't want to be in Solhaven. It seemed that she wanted to go back to the mana storm and she kept trying to catch a ship in Marshtown.

Eventually we convinced her to go to the Inn and rest instead, and she ran off. We then ran into [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe|Odelgarde]] who was looking for her, and said Saffaey had become very overwhelmed by seeing her family. Apparently she had been missing for over a year, and her family assumed she had run off with her boyfriend who is a sailor. She also insists her name is not Saffaey. All of this led to some supposition that maybe there was some body switching involved.

Odelgarde had some guards stationed at the Inn to make sure she stayed safe.

=== 6/18/2026 ===
An old dark-skinned sailor named Josef wandered into the Wehnimer's Landing Town Square Central. He engaged with those present, demonstrating the lingering effects of a fugue state.

Gentleman [[Hoorne Cornelieus]] followed shortly. Hoorne relayed that he'd found the sailor near Darkstone Bay, and rescued him from the water. Hoorne then spoke with locals and the sailor, attempting to gain further insight into what might have happened.

Hoorne reviewed the meeting on Ornath for those present in the Landing Town Square Central, going over what he had been told, having missed the meeting himself due to travel and bad weather. Those gathered then debated how to best approach the Inquisitor and her heralds, broadly agreeing that, although things were uncertain, these visitors did not seem malevolent and they should, as Elanthians together, make a show of supporting each other as they attempt to ascertain what the Inquisitor wants and what is the deal with her home, Nyessem, and the forthcoming access to this supposed other plane of reality.

To conclude, Hoorne escorted the sailor back to his ship and took him home to Kraken's Fall, with locals promising to spread the word and keep an eye out for others in a fugue state.

Announcement: The Inquisitor: Become the Collector

Today for our final teaser, we'd like to follow up yesterday's post by sharing some details about a specific vissi that we feel represents the flexibility and scale of the vissi system: the Collector.

'''Capture the Grinsawl'''

On Nyessem there exists a vissi that even many arcarium owners refuse to speak of, for it holds the power to snatch the very essence of a creature and forever trap it in a grinsawl. And why would some opt to collect grinsawl?

Because they can.

Among tight circles, grinsawl represent the ultimate trophies. Permanent reminders of past conquests, and a source of status among peers. And while the more reserved collectors are content with simple grinsawl, the truly elite seek not to just capture, but to perfect. To them, the ultimate quest is obtaining the elusive gold-sealed grinsawl.

Soon, you too will have the opportunity to obtain this forbidden vissi as well as an arcane tome designed specifically to safely store and showcase grinsawl. Capture a collection of creatures ranging from the mundane to the epic, from the common to the rarely seen, such as the unique invaders that sometimes plague Elanthia, rarely or never to be seen again.

Reminisce about past adventures, study some of the attributes of the creatures you collected, and show your collection off to others to prove you are one of Elanthia's elite Collectors.

And who knows… if Elanthians earn the Lady's trust, she just may unlock the deeper secrets of the grinsawl in the future.

Introducing a new Vissi: The Collector!

In the year 5125, the mana storms that had long made the southern seas impassable began to recede for the first time in living memory, opening access to waters that had been unreachable for generations. Among the most significant developments was the newfound ability to reach the [[Isle of Ornath]] without the aid of Chronomages, something previously thought impossible without their assistance.

The shift sparked excitement among sailors, cartographers, and traders, who saw opportunity in the newly navigable southern routes. For nearly a year, the seas remained relatively calm, and cautious optimism began to take hold among those eager to explore the newly opened waters.

Then something changed. Strange and powerful storms have begun to rise from the seas east of Ornath, traveling west and north toward the continent of Elanith. Unlike the conventional storms of the region, these disturbances carry an unsettling and unnatural quality, stirring unease among seasoned mariners and scholars alike. Whether they are a sign that the mana storms are returning, or something else entirely, remains unknown.

The southern seas, so recently full of promise and possibility, are beginning to feel dangerous once more.

[[Image:TheInquisitor.jpg|350px|center|class=auto|link=The Inquisitor: A New Plane Awaits|alt=A dark haired woman sits upon a throne, hovering over her open palm is an orb that radiates arcane power. A man in elaborate vestiges stands behind her, an intense gaze dominating his aged features.]]

== The Inquisitor: Explore Your Vissi ==

Even among Nyessemian nobility, just a select group has been granted the right to wield arcarium, a pair of powerful magical artifacts that house the Orbs of Vicissitude. For you see, only one holds the secrets to their creation, and she alone decides who may wield them.

And if she sees fit to share her powerful creations with select Elanthians, then who shall tell her otherwise?

== Artifacts Deisgned By You, For You ==

These Orbs are more than just powerful artifacts; they are the framework for the vissi system, whereby you can customize these artifacts to YOUR tastes. And when we say customize, we don't just mean selecting which abilities you'd like to wield. No, not at all; what we mean is… well… you'll soon see. This is just a teaser, after all.

Suffice it to say, it's an ambitious system that marries rich lore, character personalization, and raw power together in an equal fusion.

Oh, did we forget to mention that all subscribers will receive a set of arcarium (among other goodies) for free? We look forward to welcoming you to Nyessem starting June 19th.
