Information

Inevitable is a storyline scheduled to begin in Mist Harbor on January 24th, 2021.

Primary storyline events are held on Thursday at 8pm EST and Sunday at 3pm EST. These events are scheduled for the purpose of allowing players to easily participate and interact with GM NPCs. They are not the only means of being involved, nor the only time that player-to-player activity can occur. For help getting started visit the Premium channel on the official Discord server. Also, make sure to watch the GemStone Events Calendar to stay on top of any hiatuses or cancelled events.

  • Ilsola's Office: Hale Hall -> just inside and east -> some sturdy wooden doors
  • Greth's Bar (Stumbling Pebble Bar II): Western Harbor -> intersection of Waterbug Way and Seathrak Way -> a ramshackle brown-shingled store
  • Safe Haven and Militia Headquarters: Western Harbor -> cemetery at the end of Fishmonger Way -> the door in the cliff -> a nearby tunnel
  • Militia Recruitment Contact: Defender of Mist Harbor Akenna
  • Militia Provisioning Contact: Loremaster of Mist Harbor Rohese
  • Material Support Contact: Defender of Mist Harbor Naamit

Summary

[Ilsola receives a mysterious warning]: run. She later discovers her house, and another, have been marked with a yellow X.

~~

A guest lecturer, the elf Katillios Esh'Na'Vellus, spoke at the recent [Mist Harbor Library Lecture] about Choice. A straight forward lecture about the ramifications of making decisions, and owning up to them, until Katillios delves into her painful history and the cause of it: a mysterious warlord that she is enraptured to.

~~

Many messages intended for Ilsola have been getting reverse pickpocketed into the containers of Mist Harbor adventurers. These messages contain confusing, and inaccurate, frustrations towards the Mist Harbor administration (namely Ilsola). However, a deeper investigation of these decoy messages reveals hidden information with a continuation of the dire warning: the warlord is coming, and we should run.

Further deciphering revealed indication of a traitor among us, a friend helping the message author, a strange magical quill purchased from an old man a day before he was murdered (likely the instrument used to create the messages), and an artifact of some kind that is powering the warlord to impossible feats.

The current plan is to mobilize the Mist Harbor Militia, remain vigilant in hopes of catching the note writer and their friend, and meet again in several days time.

Until then, seek out Akenna and Rohese on how to help the Militia, keep your gaze wandering and report buildings marked with an X, and inform Ilsola of anything strange you spot!

Coming Up

  • Militia Meeting and Safe Haven Tour by Akenna: Tuesday the 26th @ 8pm EST (meet at Greth's bar)
  • A Meeting with Ilsola, Part Two: Thursday the 28th @ 8pm EST (QST)

X Marked Locations

  • Ilsola's house (not found in game)
  • A house nearby to Ilsola's (found in game)
  • Collectibles Shop

Note Messages (expand to see the secret message)
