WELCOME TO ATERAT

Here is our Fifth Test Drive Meme! There are a lot of areas of the city to explore, so please have a look around! In case you need a little help getting started, I've included a few prompts below, or feel free to start your own! Exploration and player initiative are the names of the game here!

Helpful Links to Get Started

I. Crash Into Me

Not exactly, but close enough. You have just arrived and received a strange satchel from a tiny, strange little man and are left more or less to your own devices (more information on what to expect upon arrival can be found here)! Follow directions to the north and check out the housing, or maybe have a look around the Historium and try to get some information from that giant glowing ball, see what you can waste your meager starter coin on in the Market District, or maybe just meet the neighbors.

II. What Goes Bump in the Night

It looks like Aterat proper has a spirit problem. Maybe you're seeing specters, hearing disembodied voices, your windows rattle when there's no breeze outside. Maybe there are cold spots in your place of business (or your apartment, which is so much worse). Either way, you're 100% convinced you're haunted. Hopefully, someone else believes you, or maybe you're used to feeling crazy.

III. When the Carnival Came to Town?

Take a look at the prompts from our latest event and go to town (or the carnival).

IV. Try the Network

The Tell-Phone allows for text, video, and audio transmissions to everyone else who has one. Give it a whirl!

V. Wildcard

The above prompts are all options, and there's much more to the setting than what they provide. Do your best (or your worst)!

[The man is striking in a way that Rhaegar imagined his family had been striking to others. It's comforting to see a man with white hair and purple eyes. There's a measure of warmth in Rhaegar's violet eyes as he meets Drizzt's.

It was hard to discern whether the man was a child or not, though his voice seemed to indicate that he wasn't. Regardless, the different features, the height and mystical sense that could be gleaned from him, Rhaegar didn't let any surprise or curiosity show. He was more than happy to talk about the pile that he accrued.

He set the recent find down, giving a rare smile.]

Knowledge, I would say. I know little of this place and I should like to be more familiar with it.

[usestwohands]

None know much of this place, it would seem. [Even those who had called this place home for years.] It changes, and not in regular shifts. Its histories are as fragmented as its walls.

[There was a somewhat flippant air to this speech at the comment, as though he might be making a light joke, though he didn't expect a newcomer to find the sarcasm so entertaining. He understood how disconcerting Aterat could be.]

I am Drizzt Do'Urden, and while I am in no way an expert, I will answer what questions I can.

[foughtvaliantly]

What can you tell me about its histories?

[There wasn't anything specific he was looking for, though...there might be on question he had.]

What of magic? Does it exist in this place?

[He didn't have very much experience with it, save for the things he read, along with Dragon Dreams. He had been curious, wondering what magic would be like and what forms it could take. This place seemed like somewhere that might have its own sort of magic.]

I'm Rhaegar of House Targaryen.

[usestwohands]

Not much, I'm afraid. [He shook his head, apologetic.] It seems the cycles of this world are dictated by an object none thus far have been able to reach. Those of this world's past call it the Voidcryst, and magic most certain does exist. Does it not, in your world?

[He inclines his head in response.]

Well met, Rhaegar of House Targaryen.

[foughtvaliantly]

The cycles? Does that mean the seasons or time itself? [It was intriguing, but it made it seem as if this world was frail. All it would need was someone finding the Voidcryst and they could destroy the cycles or control, perhaps?] What form does the magic exist?

We do, but not as strong as it was once. That will change.

[usestwohands]

Time is its own cycle, though more a river than a revolution. [He shook his head, barely having an understanding of the situation himself.]

I believe it's...remade, wholly from fragments taken from other realities.

[Magic had its uses, but it could also lead you to avenues of power best left alone. He frowned.]

Need it change?
