[lifeaftr_mods]

NEW ISLAND: MAATI

Who: Everyone!
What: Maati appears, and a new adventure begins
When: November 10th and onward
Where: Maati
Warnings: Tag as you go!

I Pray for the Ground to Swallow Me Whole
As of November 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Maati.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square, within the temple of the avatar that dwells here. Their temple is a sturdy thing, built into and around the chestnut trees that thread deeply into its very construction. The symbol of the eagle can be found nearly everywhere one looks.

Three guesses as to what shape the avatar of this land assumes.

[In his memory Kolivan's voice echoes, 'These trials result in one of two things, knowledge or death'. He stares down at the floor of the temple and back up at the god in front of him.]

...is it possible these trials might happen again? We can't accidentally trip over what would activate them, can we? I get they had a purpose and could people good. But I'm not sure how many are prepared for that among our group.

[thankgods]

If the trials were to be activated, [says Anbaki, very calmly,] it would never be by accident.

[thermalwind]

...what are the times they become active? Just to give me a frame of reference.

[thankgods]

That, I cannot say. It rather depends on circumstance.

[thermalwind]

Do you remember what triggered them in the past? If you don’t that’s fine. I’m just curious.

[thankgods]

Large groups tend to bring with them many sins. With those burdens weighing so heavily on everyone's shoulders, judgment will always follow.

[thermalwind]

If it does trigger...how is it announced? Or does it just happen?

[thankgods]

Certain signs do precede the trials before they are undertaken. There is always a great risk involved in them, of course.

[There might be something disconcerting in that - the matter-of-fact way their tone simply never changes as they relate this.]
