OOC NOTES

▢ Click the link above to be taken to the Google Doc for the the new setting! You can begin utilizing the setting once the coven arrives in the new world. This post will be stickied for questions throughout the journey and arrival. ▢ Reply to this entry with any questions you have about the setting information. Even if it's stupidly detail oriented or "who cares about this except me," feel free to ask! New information will be added as questions or ask, and it will be highlighted in yellow so you can keep track of what's been added after your initial read-through. ▢ While there is a certain "story line" to each setting, characters of course have the ability to alter how the coven is perceived based on their actions. If you destroy a building or do something ridiculous? Speak up on the player plot post! This is a post for major actions taken by characters, and this will be prevalent in Shehui, a low-frequency world that is apparently against magic. Based on these threads, new prompts may be added to weekend posts that will reflect how these actions change the setting. ▢ IMPORTANT Players can of course decide to break the rules of Shehui and buck the system -- that's to be expected, and pushing the limits of the setting is even encouraged! However, consider major character actions and how they potentially affect the gameplay of others. If a character decides to try and burn down the city on the second day...obviously this wouldn't fly for very long and the plot would be over within a day. There's intrigue here and the potential for exploration, investigation and espionage, as well as figuring out magic harvesting along the way (because that must somehow be possible or why else would they be there?) Sit back and enjoy it! ▢ Finally, the calendar will be updated sometime today or tomorrow with some more dates related to the new world. Look out for it!

Missed this follow up, sorry! Yes, this is possible -- also a way around for those who are illiterate. Shehui is very disability friendly.

Thank you so much!

ANOTHER QUESTION: what could one learn about the infrastructure of Shehui from the air and from generally prowling around looking at things?

[spellbindmods]

This may require a bit more specifics -- do you mean what buildings, bridges, utility tech and and the like can be seen from the air? It's pretty typical, though of course more advanced and technically sound. It has a a few bridges and water landmarks. It might be easier to give more details if I know what specifically someone might want to learn!

[rootandbranch]

Hmmm -- sorry, this is hard because Geir doesn't know what to look for either! I guess, the bridges and water landmarks, since he would see those and at least have an idea of what they were all about. And any areas that had noticeably more police activity, if they exist. Geir is interested in trying to see evidence of other people using magic and being monitored for it!

[spellbindmods]

Areas with more police activity would be more populated areas, and then the newcomer apartment buildings! These would of course require more monitoring because of the large populace and the unpredictability of new residents, respectively. Prior to the coven showing up, Shehui has appeared to run pretty smoothly with no incidents for a while, so the police presence will rise in areas that coven members personally inhabit the longer they stay!

[rootandbranch]

Thanks belatedly for this answer! ONE MORE QUESTION related to the explosion event in the festival log: if Geir took off flying towards the source of the noise, what would he find? (I assume he won't get to discover the actual source yet, but more, what would he see from above/when attempting to converge on the last, loudest sound, and what would the official response to his reaction be.)

[spellbindmods]

Belatedly! If he happened to fly over areas that are more populated with monitors, he'll notice that they're as panicked and all over the place as the general populace. This may be a hint that Shehui government doesn't actually know the source, or at least the lower levels don't. He could also potentially have found the fireworks source where they're being shot off, and it's possible to notice that that entire area is in chaos -- but it doesn't look like there's a fire or noticeable fireworks malfunction, either.

As to the reaction, monitors won't care too much during the ruckus -- everyone is fleeing, so a dragon also trying to leave or go somewhere during the mess won't be thought of as very unusual.

Thank you!
