Arelith

I have no idea who came up with the Weatherstone Crisis, but thank you! As a player with limited hours and whose bad luck is to always log in AFTER the coolest DM events, it is lovely to be able to feel the ongoing crisis in just the form of the Weather. Even the newest player will know something is going on with the red skies and pverwhelming heat changing to pouring rain with flooding or frozen wastelands and dead animals. (Just FYI - this is Texas Weather) Even if someone doesn't know where the Weatherstone is, what had happened, or how it is going to be resolved, EVERYONE will know there is a problem with something called the Weatherstone and the whole situation seems dire. (Maybe not Skal? But they get a lot of DM events)

I don't know how hard is it for DMs and devs to do the weather thing, so just pretend it's a programming nightmare and accept the thank yous!

And to the players most involved with the plot, thank you for doing your best to bring it back to town and talk about. This ensures every player, no matter how little they an contribute, can at least share in the experience.

Keep it up, Arelith!

Once in a while Arelith is plunged into a crisis of such epic proportion that everyone in the server gets to play a small part. I was lucky to see some of the most iconic ones over the years, and the Weatherstone Crisis is shaping up to be another one for the ages. Kudos to the DMs behind it, and Kudos to all the players making it feel so exciting and dynamic. This is an example of Arelith at its finest.

Weatherstone people, thanks for RP yesterday. What a special experience. The tent town, atmosphere, visuals, just...wow. What a great peek into what has been going on surface-side for this whole time. I'm sorry that my schedule won't let me be there for the coming ritual, but I'm damn happy with what I have been able to take part in. This really was the finest RP I've been a part of, and everyone involved, whether we've interacted directly or not, has played a huge role in shaping that and this event in general.

Especially the characters salty about Dib and Drik's presence. The undercurrent of tension was phenomenal.

All involved did a stellar job.

Special mentions to Juniper and Ivrathe for letting everyone get involved. How you guys included people was amazing.

Give these people medals.

least the ud’ers didnt get tpk’d, i’ll take that has a small victory

I want to give kudos as well!!! As a player who also usually misses events due to my work schedule, I was immensely impressed and thank you to the ones who roped me in when I was able to help even if it was just a little bit. It was fun and I had fun even though I missed the ending due to, you guessed it, work lol

Kudos to Ivrathe! Kicked Snuggybear the whole way through against all odds and proven right in the end.

There were SOOOO many people involved, all who did great!
Thanks to the playerbase, DM Titania, DM Avalon Soul, and DM Moonmoon!

(Say hello to Aiden and his herd)

I didn't get to contribute much as an ud'er but it was fun when i did get a chance to.

Flooded Guldorand was the best, was fun RP. Had characters interact that usually don't. Tense event, interesting scenarios.

Big Kudos for everyone involved, directly or indirectly!

It's been ages since the last time I was part of a megaplot (about 6~ years, and guess who was chuckling like an idiot when Whitehorn was mentioned?) and I enjoyed every part of it. Though I do regret that we couldn't participate more, at least it gave us the unique chance to have some degree of Surface/UD working together that just neeeeever comes naturally otherwise.

Send more plots down to UD! We want some of that spice too!

The whole idea of dm controlled current events to to RP around adds so much. More of this!

I wasn't around back then, so I want to say as a player that's only been around a couple years it has been really, really, really cool to hit the player written books and dive into such a rich history.

That was the best Weatherstone plot I've seen. I really like all of the weather effects changing each day and hitting different parts of the island. It made the event more interactive, everyone could go and do something even if they weren't part of the main plotline. The plot gave everyone something to do.

As one who did play back than this was by far most shocking reveal how thing were connected together with previous events (i am sure there were even others during the plot), and DMs epic move to aknowledge work od the player written content. So many back and forth, lots of GOT-like grey zone - really this was great storytelling by DMs, and reason why we always return to the game even as we make goodbye thread.

I am sure more RP will come out of it.

Kudos to players and ofc DMs.
