And So Our Tale Begins...
It's a cool spring morning in Vancouver, British Columbia. A bit nippy, a little rainy, but altogether not that unlike the many mornings before. Spellcasters and shamans alike awake to little commotion, aware that over the night there have been flickering lights throughout portions of the city - the threat of power outages - but that's nothing to bring up over coffee. They wake up at their leisure, most of them enjoying a weekend off from work. Some hit the snooze button, trying to wrangle five more minutes out of their rest before the real world calls them.
For the fae of Earth, it's a different sort of morning. Those in Vancouver have known for some time that there has been a shift in the wind, a change in the energy of the city. Others know it too, because they're flooding in from all the corners of the world - remnant fae of a missing, fantastical world stuck in ours because the last open door existed five hundred years ago.
The Rift begins its formation at the rising of the sun, flickering and pulling energy from all the nearby sources in and around Fraserview Golf Course. Within an hour's time, it is a fully formed portal: opaque, radiating, swirling, and thrumming. Ribbit sets up his chair and waits for the first of all SĂdhe Folk to emerge from the other side. It is a Menehune by the name of Alika Klyavalth who steps forward, embracing the title of The Luminary of Clan Taisteal. Ribbit bows to him and imparts upon him the only Glamour of his possession. It is time to get to work.
In the headquarters of the Alliance and the Consortium, Divya Chowdary and Elijah Cobb are roused to events in a different manner. A fae eagerly knocks at the Minister's office door, asking for her attention, telling her, "It is time." As for Cobb, he receives feedback from the many eyes and ears he has sprinkled across the city, and he immediately sends a troop of Enchanters to investigate these claims.
Either way, both know within moments that their world is about to change forever...
