EVENT PLOTTING: HEARTS LIKE YOURS
Hearts Like Yours
PLEROMA
After surviving their trial against the Kenoma, the Pleroma will finally have the chance to spread their wings. Having spent some time recovering in the Valley of the Innocent, there will be few options but to strike outwards, looking for a safe haven that they can be less readily tracked to. Characters who are inclined towards information gathering are welcome to do some handwaving of their characters first venturing beyond the boundaries of the valley, where they will find an assortment of small villages - including the one that left their offering of clothing and food. If they are careful, they will be able to get an idea of where to go next, as the locals seem mostly inclined to help them, but only if they can be given some plausible deniability.
According to the villagers of the region, there are two places that may be of use to one trying to avoid the Regent's forces: the rebellious city-state of Godsblood, or the reclusive village of rebels said to live among the trees of Lohkimareen. Both trips will take at least a week to complete, depending on if the Pleroma can expedite things. While Godsblood is a sure shot by traveling West and catching a boat ride at Syraku Shipyard, it is technically a Regent-controlled city despite its tendency to spit in the face of Achamite's demands. Any Pleroma travelling there will have to disguise themselves. On the other hand, Greentruth is famed to be a haven for rebels that oppose the Regent's reign, but getting there requires traveling through a forest famed for its reptilian megafauna and threatening atmosphere. That is, if rebels still live in the first place. They haven't been seen in quite some time.
Whichever journey they choose, they will have a long trip ahead of them. Part of the event post will cover their travels to their destination of choice, while the rest will be about exploring what each location has to offer. There will be portal between Godsblood and Greentruth unlocked, but it will take a bit of plot to gain full access to.

◆ GODSBLOOD: The seaside city known for its rebellious stance against the Regent, it is technically within Achamoth's control. According to the villagers near the valley, though, it may be the Pleroma's best bet to hide out in. When characters arrive, the city will be in the middle of their "Lover's Festival", the spring celebration of Lovaseri, the Lover's Moon. The local's boisterous activities may be the perfect environment to explore the city within, as long as you can keep your nature concealed.
◆ GREENTRUTH: While vaunted as a place truly free from the Regent's influence, it's also uncertain whether it has survived the last few decades. Those that are brave enough to undertake it, however, will be rewarded by their journey into the Lohkimareen forest with an encounter with its resident scouts, and a path straight to the heart of the resistance. Life in the forest is hard, but freedom from the Regent's gaze has its advantages.

KENOMA
For the Kenoma, it's time to meet their boss. Arriving in Achamoth through the great river that flows through it, the new recruits will be brought straight to the Regent's grand citadel to tour their new living space. They will find themselves greeted with lavish personal bedrooms, servants at their beck and call, and religious fervor befitting their status as demigods. While the sailors bringing them there seemed nervous and ideologically neutral, once inside the city proper, they are unambiguously treated with reverence.
After sorting out their basic living requirements, they will all be invited to a luxurious feast put on by the Regent themselves. Make no mistake, attendance is mandatory. This will be their first opportunity to speak with Horos's resident despot and to learn more about their role among the Kenoma. They're well informed on your actions back in the cavern, and they may have some thoughts on them. (PS. Please reply with your character's actions to this toplevel if you haven't already.)
Provided they survive that encounter, they will be allowed to wander Achamoth and spend most of the month getting themselves comfortable. The Regent has the impression that another conflict with the Pleroma is on the horizon, and it would not do for Achamoth's new elite to be unprepared.

◆ THE CITADEL: The Kenoma will be introduced to their new living space, including luxurious private rooms and personal servants. Before long, it will be time to dress up for their first meeting with the Regent, in the form of a formal feast. It would probably be smart to make a good first impression.
◆ ACHAMOTH: For the rest of their month, they'll have free reign over their new stomping ground, given an allowance for new purchases and to partake in the city's illustrious entertainment district. Rest and prepare, is the Regent's first order. Soon, there will be work to do.

The Citadel - Meeting the Regent
Wow he's going to bitch at the Regent for "poor" strategical choices, isn't he? (Why did unnourished tired individuals get sent to fight etc etc.) Probably yes. Hopefully, there can be some discussion on strategy and secret deep bitter feelings of his world being 'destroyed', which he will vehemently hide. And he will probably bitch about his powers too. Emet's just going to complain. And then try and assert what power he can from all this. (Can he possibly convince the Regent to give him authority over the city's formidable military? Or a position on it as he schemes to replace the Regent? HM.) I want him to SCHEME SO HARD /slams fist on table.
The Banquet
He's just gonna fit right in here suspiciously well. Emet will be arriving in the most fabulous clothing (image source) befit of a true dark dignitary. He knows how to handle these hoity-toity events from experience, and will likely be very bored with it all. (At least they finally get some good food.) I can see a few Solus mannerisms seeping through as he becomes very comfortable with bothering the servants for what he wants and bossing other people around. He will point out what fork/spoon/knife the uncultured are supposed to be using and coach others on how to act in such in order to make a good first impression. I wonder if there will be ballroom dancing... maybe someone can bother him with that and truly ruin his day?
Exploring Achamoth
Of course, he will be very interested in exploring their new home and the culture the city has. Maps will be made, the scenery will be observed, and god is he going to feel deja vu. (Garlemald?? Is this u??) There may be some very... seedy tactics at work as he tries to win over the citizens. OH. Right. And after all that, feel free to take grandpa on a shopping trip. HE'LL TRY TO BUY YOU DANGEROUS SHIET if he can.
Etc
If you have any other ideas feel free to let me know!

Maybe they can meet up in the city and do a tour or something? :|a Eustace does not care what other people think of him and will be mostly just getting a lay of the land/culture/political atmosphere because he is the type of guy who needs to learn all information available to him.
no subject
We'll have to see how the conversation goes as far as what degree of overt he will be about wanting to control things. I can't imagine him being quiet about strategy considering that's part of what he did in the past and this goal is important to him. So it'll be interesting what comes of it.
AND CITY TOUR YES. A lay of the land will be great and Emet also wants to learn and explore. Exploring buddies 😔

I'm seriously looking forward to seeing what the Regent does with this hot mess of a Kenoma group though....and how Emet goes about with his own plans. In the meantime, I will tab you up for a potential city tour thread, and either hop back here once the details are up or ping you in the discord!
