EVENT #5: SOVEREIGN CITIZENS
Sovereign Citizens
All across Horos, even in lands that have long since forsaken the Legacies, Soviseri is a month of political action. Most years, this simply means annual elections; for the faithful, organizations and governments big and small take this opportunity to bask in the wisdom of the Sovereign while reassessing their leadership and strategies, while the more secular simply see it as a convenient waymark on the yearly calendar. Soviseri allows them to face the remainder of the cycle with fresh eyes.
Most years, these customs will pass uneventfully, barring the moderate confusion that can result when too many leaderships change at once. This year, however, is not like others: for the one that considers themself the most sovereign of sovereigns has witnessed the seeds of revolt take root in the most fertile soil. Though they have not yet begun to sprout, let alone flourish, the Regent knows full well where such small things can lead. It's because of this that they intend to salt the earth and remind the cities of Horos the value of the 'peace' they've experienced while allowing them their reign.
This event will last from the 13th to the 25th of Soviseri.

❖ INCLUDED EVENT PROMPTS
◆ THE REGENT'S ADDRESS: On the eve of the 13th, near the height of the Sovereign's Moon, all Aions will have their spirits summoned into a metaphysical court of the Regent's making. They'll only have enough time to seat themselves somewhere before the vision overtakes them, bringing them into the Regent's presence for what will be the first time for many. It is in this meeting of souls that the Regent will express their intent to punish the Pleroma's supporters in Godsblood and Venera, and to declare that it will be at the hands of their Kenoma followers. The Pleroma will be able to leave the communion unharmed, but the message is clear: without intervention, Godsblood and Venera will suffer.
◆ AN EXECUTION (GODSBLOOD): The 15th would normally be a day of public debates and speeches, a time for those in power to prove their worth in full sight of the Sovereign, but all of that will be thrown into discord at the public announcement that Vaeka Lovenskol is to face public execution for her crimes against the Regent. What crimes? Well, apparently she has been working as part of a resistant unit intent on aiding the Pleroma menace... a fact that any Pleroma in Greentruth will know to be true. Vaeka has been one of the brave souls working to keep the entry to Greentruth concealed, guiding what new Pleroma they become aware of to its gates.
How she was exposed is not exactly clear, but she is scheduled for a public execution in Godsblood's main square on the 20th. That means there are five days to snatch her from the Kenoma sent to guard her, lest she be made an example to her people.
◆ TRIMMING THE VINE (VENERA): While the execution in Godsblood is a public affair, what happens Venera is far more insidious. Despite the meek and escapist nature of its citizens, a spark has been lit beneath the surface, spurred by the Aion's actions within the city during the Innocence's contagion, as well as the Achamite's and Hylician's inaction. Some Venerans that were either spotted supporting the Pleroma or that seek to resist the Regent's will have been rooted out, and will be made to pay for their transgressions by the Kenoma first and foremost.
From the 15th to the 25th, the Kenoma will be ordered to work their way through a hit list of sorts, finding and imprisoning Veneran troublemakers, with the intent of essentially 'disappearing' them. Prisoners will be held for a day or so after capture for a meaningless trial by the Achamites present, and then be executed.
◆ MARCHING ORDERS (KENOMA): As the Regent has observed there is a finite limit to what the Kenoma will do without orders, they are now being explicit; all Kenoma are required to participate in the subjugation of either Godsblood or Venera during these activities. Whether or not Kenoma players are available to play out things on an OOC level, all must be at least handwaved to ICly participate in this mission by signing up for duty in either Venera or Godsblood down below. Failure to perform IC will be met with IC punishment.
In addition to their mission duties, the Regent is also ordering all their Kenoma to attempt to lure out and capture as many Pleroma as possible. How they go about this is up to each individual, but the Regent expects that most Pleroma will not be able to resist making an appearance at either location.

hahaha depending on what we go with they might have time... Amos initiating the conversation being something like commenting about how uppity Dextera is being. Although they probably wouldn't have a whole lot of time for talking, especially since Amos is gonna be a lot more proactive this go-around.

But oh, good, this works great for me since it gives me a chance to actually utilize Amos going out and about every now and then. Would days, like... one or three work? (Possibly two but that's also when Rand's getting taken so I need to figure out when in the day that's happening too.) Just for a lil run-in, a lil attack, and then Amos having to get caught in one of Dextera's traps so Dextera can get away, but this seems perfect to me!
followup questions as I start thinking about specifics:
- what kind of trap would Amos be getting caught in.
is it gonna make him sweaty- how long would it take him to eventually free himself... long enough that Dextera's trail would have long gone cold I'm assuming at least
- what sorts of remnants of the trap would he be able to bring back with him?

1. IT CAN CERTAINLY MAKE HIM SWEATY. dextera’s traps are kind of like, poison gas adjacent… in terms of trying to slow amos down/distract him, dextera would probably want to use a mild hallucinogen if that’s something you’d be down for? there are also other more standard options like sleep or nausea but a bad trip is always fun.
2. the effective time is Up To You in this case, amos is a big guy and any powder he gets in his system probably won’t hold him for long, but yeah at least enough time for dextera to get away. he’s very good at escaping.
3. he’d be able to bring back the entire trap since it’s a metal mechanism! there are some weird markings/writings on it and possibly some residue, but it doesn’t work anymore even if he tries to trigger it.
no subject
harder to pull a wolverine off of you with only eight digits??1. HAHAHA maybe he can get a little sweaty as a treat. But I'm extremely down for a bad trip for him!! That's definitely the most fun to play with.
2. Alriiiiight let's go with enough time for Dextera to escape plus a little extra just so the trail goes really cold. Fly away and be free lil guy
3. Sounds good! He'll do that then, something to poke and prod at for a bit, for all the good that'll do.
