Malicant has made his move and it's as devastating as people have feared. The Emperor has been killed by an unknown person or persons, and five of the turtle hatchlings have been brutally murdered. By Malicant's own words, it's likely that the Foreigners are partially responsible for both.

In this post is a status update on the key figures and state of the city.

NPCs: EVANDAU: The latest Emperor has, unfortunately, met his untimely demise. As far as anyone knows, there is no direct descendant or appointed successor to the position. There will be a memorial held for the Alderwood Emperor in the near future.; MILYN: The Cherrywood Healer has taken the Emperor's body into her care and will begin funerary preparations at her clinic in the Water Sector, which has posted guards to prevent any from entering without permission.; CELAUNN: Those most attentive to the whereabouts of key figures in Keeliai may have noticed Celaunn’s decreased presence in the last week, disappearing entirely three days prior. Hints as to her whereabouts may be found in-character.; EVASTELEI: Eva has been missing since the strange nullification that removed everyone's abilities. The two kedan she has spent most of her time working with in recent months have also mysteriously become absent. Rumor is that she may have fled in a fugue state. Hints as to their whereabouts may be found in-character.
Powers: Powers have been fully and completely restored to all characters, and those who had gained them temporarily will lose them again. Everything has gone back to normal, save for the rest of the chaos.
Malicant & The Palace: Malicant’s presence continues to cast shadows of doubt and chaos in Keeliai. One thing is clear: Evandau was not the villain that recent accusations made him out to be. The Palace is now fully accessible to all residents, kedan and foreigner alike, though evidence of Malicant’s presence still lingers in blood, darkness, and other gruesome remains.

A log will be posted within the week detailing The Palace’s new conditions and allowing characters to explore.
Turtle Hatchlings: Five of the fifteen original Turtle Hatchlings were brutally murdered by Malicant on the steps of The Palace. All five had only a single parent remaining, making them the most vulnerable of the group. (PMs were sent to those parents detailing their Hatchling’s last moments.) The remaining ten turtles are struggling to come to terms with the death of their brethren and now, more than ever, need parents to watch out for and take care of them; a total of 8 parents are needed at present.

The OOC signups are HERE.
The Kedan: Upon discovering that they have lost a second Emperor within a year, the kedan reaction is markedly different. Where Eshai's death was met with surprised sorrow and uncertainty, Evandau's demise sparks violence and panic in the streets and homes. There will be rioting and paranoia, particularly against the Foreigners -- after all, Malicant is blaming them directly and who else could be deemed responsible for suddenly isolating the Emperor and allowing his death?
ADDITIONAL OOC INFORMATION:: Activity Check - Due to the timing of this portion of the plot going up late in the month, we are allowing any threading done under the Prophylaxis | Sept 28+ portion of the log to count towards September OR October AC count. (But not the same thread for both!)

Have any questions? Please refer to the QUESTIONS section in the original OOC post (not on this post) and ask away! We will answer them in as timely a method as possible. Otherwise, feel free to use this post to plot what your character(s) may be up to during this portion of the event!

NOTE: As a reminder, we now have an active game plurk @

tushan that you can add.
