last month on codices

3/2 A Dark and Stormy Night

A dangerously powerful spring storm rises at sea and pushes inland in the afternoon. Parts of the harbor are damaged, as are a number of ships coming into port. Two vessels collide in the harbor. One is returning from Val Royeaux and captained by Raziya Nadhari. The other is filled to the brim with refugees from the Free Marches, desperately seeking a place free of the Blight.

3/4 Wedding Bells

The sun finally emerges from the clouds for the wedding day of Luren Melra and Oswulf Tranador. The reception is held in a large hall near the Chantry and open to all friends of the couple, however close they are (or aren’t).

3/7 The Quarantine

With more refugees arriving from the north and blighted animals in the vicinity, it is not a surprise when a patient in one of the city clinics dies horribly of what turns out to be the Taint. As the incurable illness begins to spread, it is up to the Grey Wardens to find and quarantine the ill at the outpost. Those who can handle a weapon are offered the option to undergo the Joining, but the rest are not so lucky...

3/12 Back to the Western Front

With improvements to the Tevene weapon complete, Drusilla Branas, Tatiana Helos. Bastien Montbelliard, and Caspian Pentaghast return to Caimen Brea to test the artefact in the field against the darkspawn. ((note: these characters will be gone until the 19th.))

3/15 A Rock and a Hard Place

A new contract comes to the Crows via Sergio Cortes, who remains in Cumberland to keep an eye on his dwindling team. Unfortunately, the identity of the target puts one of the assassins in an extremely sticky situation.

3/22 Death Before Dishonor

Sensing that Noëlle d’Orly and Bastien Montbelliard are close to learning his secret, Marin Voclain takes action in a suitably public and dramatic fashion.

3/28 A Theatrical Commotion

Guards are summoned to break up an altercation in Cumberland’s theatre district, but unfortunately, they do not arrive quickly enough to prevent a death.

On the feast day of Wintersend, King Markus Pentaghast announced the end of the negotations, which made the subsequent celebrations all the sweeter. After a day devoted to commerce and another to the arts, Magister Alexius and the Tevene delegation hosted a tourney, which was ultimately won by Bastien Montbelliard, representing the Grey Wardens. To cap off the celebratory week, Duke Sebastien Van Markham invited the populace into the palace for a ball.

Shortly after the celebration, Warden Commander Frieda Ortan and Magister Alexius brought together representatives from their respective factions to discuss a collaboration. Unfortunately, the initial test of the new Tevene weapon was not as successful as hoped.

The Crows stayed busy, completing an assignment given to them in Wintermarch. In addition Idril received and another commission from Duke Sebastien Van Markham.

Not long after this, yet another ridiculous crop of rumors emerged. The Blight, however, would not remain far from anyone’s minds — while gathering herbs for the Chantry, Iveani Ralaferin and Souvelani Alerion came upon a pack of blighted wolves within walking distance of the city walls. When asked to look into it, one of the Wardens also found signs of corruption, causing a public warning to be issued.

birthdays

16th - Souvelani Alerion (43)

28th - Lev Tagaris (27)

plot pc requests
The plot events associated with endgame offer the opportunity to pick up some side characters if you’re interested. You’re welcome to pick up some temp PC Grey Wardens, existing or new (possibly new conscripts as a tie-in to the Taint plot). These characters can last through the end of the Blight. There will be a few other possibilities open to you in April as well.

Remember that temp PCs are your chance to play a plot character. These characters are not subject to AC, do not count against your character limit, are not subject to class/specialization caps, and are meant to last a short time. For more details, see the Announcements below.

announcements

Because there are a number of major player plots resolving this month, there are no sign-ups for plot in March. However, your characters will be able to interact with/react to certain parts of these plots as they unfold.

For events such as Oz and Luren’s wedding, which involves a large numbers of characters, there will be a separate plotting post with more information.

Don't forget that for your AC, one of your two submissions needs to happen in the first 14 days of the month.

The temp PC opportunities for March and April include: those impacted by the Taint and Grey Wardens in March, and members of Clan Ralaferin as well as the Tagaris mercenary band in April. If you have a desire to play a different temp who you feel may be relevant to the plot, please come to the mods with your idea, and we will work it in if possible.

OH LOOK A NEW WARDEN *SQUINT*

2017-03-06 10:55 pm UTC (link)

Name: Giulia Sala
Age: 28
Race: Elf
Class and specialization: Mage (Knight Enchanter)
Weapon: Staff
Occupation: Circle Mage
PB: Stephanie Beatriz
Personality: Having spent some of her formative years growing up in a whorehouse, where one mom worked, on glorious adventures of the Crows, which her other mom (aka aunt, biologically speaking) was, Giulia idealized Antiva and its culture. Though her crow mother’s tragic death left them without enough money, driving her older sister to become a whore, Giulia was swept up by the Circle before the Crows could claim her, as was the plan. Despite being sent away from Antiva to Nevarra a year later, at age nine, and enjoying the stability and quality of Circle life, despite the price poverty continues to play on her family (two younger siblings died becoming crows), Giulia has continued to idealize her culture from a distance. Thus, while she doesn’t chafe under Circle rules, she values chaotic freedom that comes from fewer rules rather than more, believing in people’s abilities to make good lives for themselves if only they are free. Her optimism and idealism have been tested the last year, but she has maintained her belief in the world and life.

Giulia can be unreliable as a student or with many duties, but her loyalties to her friends and willingness to help strangers is unwavering (in fact, she has certainly skipped classes/schoolwork for said people… and yes, she demands that seeing a lost child or cat with a broken leg is a legitimate reason to miss class). She’s impulsive and daring, taking greater risks with her life than she even understands. Her generosity comes out in her actions and with her purse (she rarely has money for that reason). Giulia is blunt and sarcastic, sometimes leaving a question about her honesty (is that sarcasm? wait she just meant that?). She’s unapologetic for being who and how she is (flaws and all…). Gregarious, she rarely initiates physical contact out of respect for other people’s bodily autonomy but is comfortable with it.
Group affiliation: Circle, soon to be Wardens
Player Name: Silyara

	You know the drill, madam! Go forth and icon, then get in touch with Warden and/or healer players to arrange for the character's Joining. You'll want to schedule that ideally in the next week. Please contact the mods regarding your endgame plans for this character as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I mean, since I've been using her as an NPC anyway? aka more Warden fodder for the Blight

Name: Nerys Ghilain
Age: 36
Race: Elf
Class and specialization: Mage | Knight-Enchanter
Weapon: Staff
Occupation: Griffon Rider/Grey Warden
PB: Giselle Bundchen
Personality: From a young age, Nerys was studious, serious, and no-nonsense, though her goals were always lofty: being born and raised in a clan that claims the last Inquisitor as their ancestor, Nerys always strove to follow in his footsteps while keeping to her own path, whatever that meant. When the Third Blight began, she saw what that path was, and so she joined the Grey Wardens as soon as she was able. Her time with the Grey Wardens has loosened her up in that she enjoys the company of her comrades, quietly chuckling along to their antics and stories (and, on the rare occasion, howling with laughter), but defeating the Blight is always her first priority, enough for her to swallow lifelong prejudices so that she can perform whatever task is needed of her and her griffon. She misses her clan sometimes, and it's the rare missives to and from 'home' that keep her going when she's too tired to keep going that push her forward when even the determination to see the Blight ended isn't enough to keep her chin up.
Group affiliation: Grey Wardens
Player Name: Vicki
