Mark of the Herald Part II
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

On September 10th, a mountain will rise from swirling waters in the Atlantic, paths of eldritch light will lay themselves over the ocean’s waves, and the siren song of the Herald will become abundantly clear as five glowing figures pull themselves from the glowing heart of the mountain.

Over the waves, over the spire of the mountain, Utultar floats- and dives down to attack, screeching in fury.

“NO!”

He is much too late.

“Just because thou wert chosen first- I will not be usurped- My work is the greater!”

His bitterness and his protest come to no avail, as the figures manifest fully and strike him away from the sleepers in a blow that shakes the waters for forty miles in every direction. He rises, obviously injured now, bleeding strange and terrible ichors. Unable to face them on their own ground, in their own hour, he flees. Leaving the figures to arise unopposed…

Unless you have something to say about that.

The next Herald is no less than the collective subconscious of humanity made manifest in five major aspects of a single vast mind, all linked together by the desire to save it from the apocalypse - even if that means laying waste to, and abandoning, all the world. A day and night of sustained battle is all that stands between the world and Nightfall, and Daybreak is fighting it alongside allied forces from all over the world.

The Beast That Is Man, third Herald of Night, is awake. May you survive the ascension.

All five Aspects of the Beast That Is Man, the twinned sins and virtues of humanity, must be fought and defeated to destroy it. If they are not, the Sun will set for the last time, and what lives in the night will be nothing that humanity ever wanted to become.

Save the world. Save yourselves.
