NikinkCityOfGoldcampaign/SiderealGoals

Goals of the Sidereal Circle:

• Stabilise South-West Creation
  • House Ragara seems to be best choice to do so due to man-power and resources.

Threats to the South-West:

  • Undead
  • Fortress Of Black ice
  • Zombie Hordes
  • Abyssals
  • Deal / Alliance with Gem

    • 2. Trade allowances and favours
    • 3. Military Support

• The Lap
  • Something is going on...

• Mysterious unknown armies from the Silent Crescent
  • Some new kind of Exalt

• Shadowlands in the mountainous region known as The Thousand

What has been happening in the South-West?:

• Gem attacked by mysterious unknown Exalt and army
• Undead attacking villages and stuff led by dark Solars
• Souls of deceased not moving on (either to underworld or reincarnation)
• Bargain between Abyssal and Despot of Gem
• Sesus Legion wiped out in jungles (cause unknown, maybe mysterious Exalt?)
• Dragon-Blooded Circle destroyed any chance of Realm influence in South
• Sessiness getting very powerful in jungle.
  • Lots of jungle tribes begun worshipping
  • Possession of powerful Artifact (Jade Monkey)
• Fortress Of Black Ice reappeared
• Sidereal Wondrous Light disappeared in the Lap
• Jungle tribes getting aggressive and moving north
  • House Sesus sent in legion to pacify and got wiped out
  • House Sesus sent second legion south after House Ragara's heroes found their way to Gem
• Mysterious Exalts in Jungle
  • Presumably same as the ones attacking Gem
  • Point of origin seems to be Fount of Mourning
• House Ragara and House Sesus fighting for control of region
• Temple of Four Mystic Blossoms attacked by Abyssal
  • What is going on here?
  • What is the Fourth Caste of Monks?

Goal #1: Get House Ragara powerful

• Give access to First-Age gear
  • Lead Ragaran Heroes to Fortress of One Thousand Sons
    • Complete!
    • Compose prophecies to aid the Dragon-Blooded
    • Arrange for Jotun to attack Ragaran Caravan near Fortress
    • Smite V'neef Aron and Sesus Ludar
    • Deliver the prophecies in snippets to guide the heroes
    • Send visions to Ragara Jinel to lead him to Fortress
    • Arrange for Elementals to open ground around the hidden entrances
  • In theory:
    • Other Dragon-Bloods follow Jinel to the Fortress
    • Aron cannot talk them out of it
  • Get information to Emerald-Blade about Abyssal and the Fortress
  • Be aware of possible trouble with the Abyssal infiltrator
• Monitor Progress
• Cripple House Sesus

Goal #2: What the hell is happening with Autocthon?

• Appears that Autocthon's Exalts have returned
• Unknown goals.
  • What purpose behind this invasion?
• Origin near Font of Mourning
• Gems on foreheads hold souls to bind and animate their magically constructed bodies
  • Unsure as to why mortals have them.
  • Perhaps to hold their souls upon death?

Goal #3: Deathlord and Abyssals

• Lies-In-Hate went to Gem
  • Immediate superior is The King-In-Hate-And-Deceit
• Another Abyssal spotted riding a dragon heading towards Ragaran heroes
• Another Abyssal (Fearful-Journeys-With-Taint?) infiltrated caravan before it left Gem
  • Probably the Abyssal that imitated / posed as Nekuna
  • Will want the Fortress of One Thousand Suns and all it's stuff

Funny how none of these were being achieved, looked into, or even wondered about most of the time. :) nikink

I blame the petty infighting between the single Bronze Faction guy and the rest of the circle. - Bencyclopedia

I'm sure the Mute didn't help. Or the Rebellious and Disrespectful Battles Caste. Sigh. :) nikink
