Crystal hunt

[Yuthirin]

Tryll has many questions! Most of them are inappropriate for this setting. Can the Queen see inside his head?

[Anastasia]

That's a good question, isn't it? If Morwel can, she's showing no sign of it.

[Yuthirin]

Well then. 'Skipping the smaller, frivolous things, let's get down to serious business because we need to chat anyway. Did you hear about the dragon? The one we can't talk about?'

[Anastasia]

There are many dreaming dragons.


Yet not one like that, not like that one who has returned.

[Yuthirin]

'Oh good, you know who I'm talking about, then. You know why he's back, yes?'

[Anastasia]

I am not aware, what a curious dream he has.

[Yuthirin]

'Then we need to get you and him to talk, face to face. It's really important. Cosmically so. Real Big Stuff important. Bigger than Calleigh and myself can do. Then we can get down to the smaller stuff. You're the biggest and strongest god I know, and I think you need to be fully read-in. Anything otherwise is foolish, and I can't say it here.'

[Anastasia]

Okay, lemme as you OOC since you're the newest to this and I want to make sure you're not making an unintended mistake here: What's your aim for Morwel here, Yuth?

[Yuthirin]

Face to face convo, portal to Io's little bit of Outside, and a clear discussion.

[Anastasia]

A clear discussion about what, precisely?

[Yuthirin]

Ao, the end of Creation, and our upcoming attempts to kill or neutralize him. And his errand girl.

[Anastasia]

You really need to review the following posts here carefully:

Short version: Unless Morwel is a part of this, and to your knowledge she isn't, inviting her into that will literally doom Creation.

This is new for you and it's possible you have crossed wires with this somehow, so I'll give you a chance to strike your last few lines.

[Yuthirin]

Yeah, I think I misunderstood. I thought we could tell people if we brought them to Io where Ao couldn't overhear our conversations. I'm not sure what I missed.

[Anastasia]

Lemme walk you through it OOC, since I in part rely on everyone having picked up on this from talking/reading other threads and perhaps something was missed. No big deal, we'll sort this.

In short, no one but the people brought into this can be aware of what's going on. This is the people in the five nodes, as well as the following noted exceptions:

Marie and Calleigh, as they're familiars of people in the nodes.

Zaphkiel, who is behind the nodes.

Asmodeus seems to be aware of what's going on as well, though this is somewhat uncertain.

Io, who came back from Beyond to help and helped ensure there would be more nodes.

Perhaps Sylian, who is following his own agenda and is speculated to have become One in the Far Realm after the events of Balmuria 1. As he's in the Far Realm, he's essentially out of contact as it is. I don't think you've ever brushed against him save for a few references in previous games. Nonetheless, he's included for reference.

If word of this spreads, Ao will be aware and what follows will be 'Endless Catastrophe', and according to Io, the doom of Creation. The entire operation relies on essentially keeping Ao from noticing this is happening through intervention.  If Ao finds out, all of Creation takes it in the neck and possibly worse.

OH GOOD. I totally misread the situation. Crud. Ok. Striking everything and rolling baaaack.
