    In case you are wondering what's going on on TSRP, the plot has progressed, a couple of weeks have passed since the game has started and the entire time, the conflict between Yladia, the country of the Elves and Falderen have been brewing.

    The Ancients Attack

    profile

    In the wee hours of the morning at Castle Dormont, a massive boulder came crashing through the lord’s tower, killing him upon impact. When the King of Falderen received the news of a surprise attack, he had his mages summon an emergency portal that would teleport anyone who was free to the castle’s summoning room. (This manifests in the form of a prompt asking if you would like to teleport to Castle Dormont).

    Although you tried your best to understand what was going on, all you know amid the chaos was that Yladia has laid a siege on Castle Dormont and if you are an ally of Falderen then you must defend it at all cost. When you arrive at the scene, the soldiers manning the wall made sure you know that massive, 20-feet tall Oakhearts are hurling massive boulders at the wall every couple of hours while the smaller Oakheart, Treants, and elves are invading the wall. The Falderen troops are having a difficult time driving them back. The odds are incredibly stacked against Falderen and its dying troops. Fire arrows and projectiles are being pelted at the castle as well, setting some vantage points aflame, making it more difficult to retaliate.

    If you consider yourself an ally of Falderen, then defend the castle. Adecus Forest is now in a state of emergency.

    Join the fray

    Now decide on where you'll spend the majority of your time:
    • Assault Thread - Sign up required. If you would like to go behind the enemy's rank to disturb their attack. You have to sign up and you can't jump between the other two threads. This group takes heavy damage.
      This event is full.

    • Defense Thread. Straight and simple, you fend the attack from the wall. This thread deals a bit of damage every cycle. When you are low on health, you can go back to support thread for some healing.

    • Support Thread. You are behind the scene, trying to help the defense group by putting out fire, healing the injured, fixing the wall, and running supplies, etc. This thread will not do damage to anyone and is the safest group.

    • You can optionally Help Yladia siege or sabotage Falderen. This is the rolling thread for Elven Sympathizers. Siege the wall or sabotage the effort behind the wall here.

    • Bonus Event: See if you're lucky enough to grab a minipet egg here. Help rescue Kit's animals.

    • You have a cooldown of 4 hours before you can post again. There is no posting cycle and no turn order either. Feel free to tag people if you want to interact with them.
    • Be sure to read every single post written by staff, which will look different than players'.
    • Follow the instructions written in the DM's post.

    The Betrayal

    The three top guilds in the game, [YULAN], [VALOR], and [COVEN], have forged a contract to betray Falderen and assist Yladia's attempt to siege Castle Dormont. According to their world chat announcement, any players may join them. Those who refuse to stand down will have to fight to protect Falderen from these treacherous guilds and their allies.

    Anyone who wish to side with these saboteurs must roll the sabotage roll and post in the correct thread. Anyone who wish to continue helping Falderen may also continue to post normally. It is now a struggle between the two sides.

    The victor of the war, and the direction of the Season's story will entirely be determined by the players.

    Story: TL;DR

    The nation of the Elves, Yladia, which resides north of Adecus Forest, has been continually in a conflict with Falderen. No one knows the detail of this conflict, but if you live in Falderen, you only know that Elves are supposedly evil.

    One morning, Yladia began putting under siege what was essentially Falderen's strategic stronghold to keep foreigners out of the south. In response, King Theodore of Falderen put out an emergency magical summoning that gave all players a UI prompt that asks them if they would teleport and answer the call.

    Many players teleported and defended the keep against Yladia's attack and mended the castle from inside. Meanwhile, there was an assault group that slipped behind the enemy's line to soften their attack power. After defeating a giant Oakheart, they discovered that all Oakhearts are Elven druids, and the bounties in Falderen the past couple of weeks have had the player kill them. After the Elves explained their situation about wanting to flee south to escape the demons in the north and how Falderen refused to help them and let them through, they decided to break through.

    After learning this, the leaders from 3 of the most powerful guilds in the game decided to make a contract with Yladia. As such, they sent out world chat announcements to warn and convert all players to side with Yladia.

    With enough effort, Yladia managed to take the wall before nightfall. However, they are waiting to do the final push at dawn now. Meanwhile, the defense team has withdrawn themselves into the keep.

    Finally the Yladian Siege Taskmaster has decided on a crazy plan to have the giant Oakhearts fling the air troop to the top of the keep while the ground troop storms the gate on the 2nd floor where they will climb the 20 meters wall to get to the less fortified 3rd floor.

    The final siege begins

    The final assault has begun. Anyone is free to join. If you are on the siege team, please join either of these threads. There is no death in this event unless your character continually presses onward.

    Keep Invasion

    It seems the siege team has broke into the keep on the 3rd floor. There are 3 sections on each floor, central room, west wing, and east wing. Fighting in the central room seems to be the safest.

    However, the siege team must hit the side wings as well, or the enemy will retaliate.

    Meanwhile, Falderen sympathizers are helping people escape in the tunnels beneath the keep. There seems to have been a cave in as monsters started attacking the evacuees.

    The finale

    So it seems that both of the teams who went to east and west wings have successfully cleared the entire 3rd level. They are now all present at the 2nd level, attempting to blow up the Teleportation Crystal to prevent Falderen from sending in anymore reinforcement. This is the final trial!

    Anyone is free to try their hands at this challenge, if you are jumping into the event for the first time, simply read the 2 DM posts and roll before you RP! Please participate in the event, the entire forum needs you! This event is newbie-friendly.


    Also, if you are confused on how to get started, please PM me on the forum, or DM me on discord.
