Clouds are Making Way For Me
You've had a good ten days or so to prepare. Knowing what's coming, you'll probably understand full well what's happening by the time the first few cracks start to show in the islands surrounding Ensō. One by one, you'll start to see them come apart. Monsun splits down the middle and begins to sink into the sea in a rush of steam as the snow and lava hit the temperate ocean waves. Nastrandir's cratered remains send the waves frothing as they descend into the murky depths. Umui's flower-streaked landscape and generations of ruined history begins to fragment and split apart.

Each of the islands is crumbling. And on the horizon, you'll begin to see it: a shimmering nothingness creeping ever closer. The distance starts to seem shrunken. The sky melts into a blinding white the further up it goes. The clouds melt into nothing. Little by little, the scope of LifeAftr is shrinking. The sun begins to dim and stutter as the phoenix that keeps warmth and heat in this world starts to have less and less sky to circle. The floating islands, high above Ensō's cloud cover, start to crumble and crash to the mainland with meteoric force.

That's when the Historian surges further onto Ensō's shores with a low, subterranean rumble. They say nothing, nothing at all. There is no warning save for their slow creep onto the shore before, from the seething waters around them, all manner of things start to emerge: Carnivorous monkeys, shadowy creatures from the ocean floor, representations of your worst self, war automatons, fire-breathing dragons, giants of greenish quartz, Overgrown fungal zombies, and even your bog-standard fusterclucks and noinos will come pouring onto the island to attack. If it's ever been in LifeAftr, it has every possibility of showing up and requiring that you defend yourself. Remember that most nerfs have been lifted at this point, so you'll have your full capacity to raise hell as needed.

Do you all know your jobs?

Whether you're braving the ocean waters to locate the Historian's altar, attacking the altar itself, defending the island and the Storyteller's temple from invaders, telling stories to keep yourselves safe, or trying to ferry survivors and supplies into the temple, you're going to have your work cut out for you.

While we're not sure we'll be able to thread out an entire NPC boss battle, we're happy to allow characters to sign up for any important roles for the duration of this struggle - and to allow you to top-level and thread those battles however you wish.

We hope you're ready for the fight.

Feel Your Heart and It's Glowing
We're hoping to have the results of Endgame up sometime mid-June! This will include the fate of the NPCs, the fate of PCs who might be hoping to move on from this world, and the fate of the new world itself - as well as whatever you'd all like to name it. It will also honor all player characters and acknowledge their participation in preserving this new world.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us here!

Truly, thank you for playing. We've loved modding this game for you, and you've been a wonderful playerbase. We hope the ending that comes to pass is satisfactory!
