Codex OOC

All right folks, so in an unsurprising turn of events, I turned into mush over the last month. (This happens occasionally and it makes me a failboat of a human being when it happens but OH WELL.) Also, I'm Chelsea (maltaromeniel), for anyone who doesn't know me or has utterly forgotten me, which is not an unlikely scenario.

Anyhow. Could I bother people for help nudging Loren back into the game?

( hello, c&p from my intro )

As you can see from this post, the BAD LYRIUM EVENT has begun! Mages and Templars - this is heavily your event. Since, y'know, you guys are the ones who drink lyrium like Oz drinks ale.

The bad lyrium has made its way into EVERY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL. So, even if your mage/Templar doesn't buy from the Carta, they'll still be affected, as it has infiltrated the Wardens' lyrium supplies, as well as the Chantry and Circle.

Now, it's important to note that effects will take a few days to manifest, and depending on your character, there is a sliding scale of severity:

1 - Luna Lovegood (barely any side effects aside from some loopiness)
2 - Professor Trelawney (kiiiiiiiind of off your rocker but more or less harmless)
3 - Bellatrix Lestrange (burn shit to the grouuuuuuuund)

It's up to you where your character falls on this scale. It's likely to depend on how much lyrium your character usually uses (i.e. veteran Templars and Tevinter magisters will probably be far worse off than a Circle novice). If you want to leave it to the mods, please comment under the appropriate comment header and let us know! We'll roll for you and let you know!

This event is expected to from 7/22 to 7/31, but the earliest the heaviest of lyrium users would begin experiencing symptoms would be 7/25. Still, your character might notice any of the following about their lyrium as of now:

→ Ooooh shiny. The usual blue color of the lyrium seems way brighter.
→ Fingerlickin' good. The taste is slightly off and has a semi-sweet aftertaste.

Please drink lyrium responsibly. Thank you.
