After much (MUCH) deliberation, and a lot of help from my friends, I think we've got a good plan worked out for our swiftly approaching Winter in Summer plot!
The plot will last two weeks, beginning July 7th (you can see it marked out on the Game Calendar, which can be found on the Mod Journal).
Here's the basic outline:
The Frost Giants of Jotunheim decide that Loki's and Thor's actions on Midgard during the battle with the Avengers has broken a treaty with them, so they decide to start a war. To do this, they reach through their ancestral bloodlines in order to find a passage to Midgard. These bloodlines go through Tora Olafsdottor (Ice) as well as her people, the Norwegian hill people, and the efforts of the Frost Giants cause their descendants to mysteriously start getting sick. When Tora learns the illness is effecting the people of her homeland as well, not just herself, she travels home to investigate, where she finds out her true heritage - she is the descendant of the Frost Giants. The Frost Giants manipulate her in order to bridge the gap between Jotunheim and Midgard, and in releasing them, Winter is created on Midgard.
Goals:
- Stop the Frost Giants and send them back to Jotunheim - Reverse Winter/Restore Summer
There are other things too, like fighting the Giants; preventing them from causing damage; and of course, some of the villains will take full advantage of the chaos.
The most important thing is that we have fun with this - it doesn't have to be big and serious, just enjoy it.
So, now that you know what's going on, feel free to figure out what you'd like to do, organize yourselves, ask questions, etc.
