BARRIER QUEST ENDING POST

BARRIER QUEST (FIN)

▢ Before continuing to read this post, please check out the new half-log that just went up and this one! ▢ TL;DR non-threatening Uvi have been discovered within the barrier after struggles with humans over magic and territory, leading to both the semi-creation, development and near destruction of the Palai species as it exists today. ▢ There will obviously be some questions about these new developments, and characters have to make snap decisions about what they'll do since the Qri ship is taking off on day 78 (AKA Saturday). If you have some burning interest, please leave that here and you'll be addressed ASAP since this is time sensitive! ▢ With the barrier removed, the island Uvi wish for it to remain down. While they were originally afraid of the humans returning and chose to create a safe haven within their captive quarters, knowing that they are no longer a threat means living within the barrier is essentially a waste to them. They can potentially return to a life without being under the rule of blinding, burning magic, even if they have evolved to be used to this by now. ▢ If characters look hard enough, they can discover the destroyed frequency center that controlled the barrier from the inside. While the Uvi tinkered with it as much as they could, they could never become technologically advanced enough or handle the energy output from the center itself. Those good with technology may be able to fix this center. If your character would like to help in doing so, reply here! ▢ Some Uvi will be content staying on the island, though they now have access to a rationable water source. Other Uvi are curious about the Palai and their new utopia under the ocean. If your character would like to help take them to this place, they can -- though the Uvi of course can do this on their own. They don't want to fight, but instead want to explore and, potentially, apologize to the Palai for indirectly having a hand in their demise. Alternatively, will your character try to stop the Uvi for whatever reason? Address your character's actions with regards to this issue here. ▢ Some may ask whether the Palai get to have a say in all of this? The answer is yes if someone can find a way to reach them. Since Palai were brought to the floating island, their opinion can be easily asked of -- they will agree that the Uvi who would like to come to Aimintas can, but that they want the coven members to stay with them. They don't fully trust these strange Uvi, and Palai present on the island will be very afraid of them at first meeting. However, the coven may have apprehensions about this. They don't know the Uvi outside of their savage context and may not be so readily trusting as the Palai still seem to be. ▢ There will still be a log put up tomorrow about casual Aimintas shenanigans if anyone wants to get in some last minute baby threads or anything setting-specific, but it will be backdated to Days 75 & 76, presumably before and after the island shenanigans are going on. This means that your input on whether to help the Uvi travel to Aimintas will be able to be posted until 10 PM ON SATURDAY (you get a little more timezone room than usual since this is A Lot). All responses to this post can potentially shape the wrap up summary on the 23rd. ▢ This will perhaps be the coven's greatest impact on the Palai and Aimintas -- will the Barrier Quest members help the new Uvi, or will they leave them in the barrier out of distrust and culture shock?
