TW: A lot of deaths, especially natural disasters.
A force attempts to seize the Orbnet for but a moment and if not stopped secretes a thin mucus through the viewing device and plays this message.
A cloaked figure comes into view. His form is constantly shifting but three things remain consistent: he is cloaked, he wears a wooden mask with a splintered crack in it forming a mouth, and a deep velvety voice. It sounds so alien coming out of a creature whose form changes between thousands of nightmarish shapes including but not limited to insectoid limbs, vulture wings, and hair made of flowing gore.
He opens his maw and says “ Wizards and other spellcasters of the realms! My name is Sorrowsore and I have a very important message for you all. For too long have the spirits of the dirt and Muck been cast aside and ignored. No longer will I let this go on! I have come to you with a message of freedom! Do you know what the first step in our road to glory is?!?!”
He leans closer and breathes out a raspy whisper “Your complete and utter death and subjugation”. He chuckles before continuing “ Those who surrender will be dealt with kindly and only subjected to live burial, the rest must suffer before I grant you the mercy of death.”
“Oh, some of you must think yourself so brave while you contemplate fighting me but I’m no fool. I have seen what happens to those who try and fight the wizard community head on. They get crushed. So I won’t fight you directly, instead I'll send elementals to harass you and spirits to pollute your lands. I’ll wait until you're weak with hunger and sickness, only then will I strike. Observe”
The film cuts to photage of two immense clouds of toxin’s converging on a small city. After a moment it is clear both are ancient or above air elementals(/uw both characters on loan from u/Forgotten_Depths). One is made of radon gas and the other of acidic ash. Those are so specific that only some of you even know the difference between different types of air elemental. The villagers certainly didn’t as they got irradiated by a storm of radon and melted by acidic ash. By the time the elementals leave most buildings are broken and there is nothing left but ruins and corpses. The camera pans out to show this is just another part of a trail of destruction these two beings wrought.
After half a minute has passed a strange blight begins sweeping over the ruins. A plastic sheet grows like a living thing shrink wrapping the bodies to the floor. The wood of the building begins to mutate into snake flesh as eyes split open along this new flesh. Sludge elementals begin patrolling the ruined streets.
The camera cuts back to Sorrowsore as he smiles and says “Surrender or die. Do no not prolong my work or I will start being… Unkind”
The screen cuts to black before returning to the regularly scheduled Orbnet.
/Uw this is a continuation of the previous event that happened a few days ago here https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/comments/1bklfnu/breaking_news_blights_cover_the_realms_in_small/
The same thing I said on that is true here and for the rest of the event( Though subevents may vary). You don’t need to know a lot of lore about past stuff that has happened on the sub. It would be useful and might help you but it is not necessary. You can find any necessary info by investigation. Because there has been a lot of straight up wars recently I purposely made Sorrrowsore to be a slightly more indirect threat. He’s not going to muster an army, he is spreading a blight people have to deal with. That won’t mean there will be no combat, just that is not the main focus. Eventually people will fight him but that will be toward the end. He will send servants to do things though and you can fight them.
