When: King’s Year 199, Mid Winter
What:

[It had been a slow start through the fall. Nations full of people needing to settle and find shelter. And many despaired... how could such an enormous project be completed by the end of a mere two seasons when most were still milling about supplies and accommodations?

But as they do, gears shifted as the temperatures rose... as night became a nostalgic memory... Natural ingenuity blended with mad genius with simple practicality and by early winter, the great keystone... a project of masonry that had taken nearly as much time as the construction of the great stone walls themselves was complete and secured into place for the rest of the walls to be completed around it.

Construction had slowed ... even with ants to carve and carry, even with machinery of steam and clockwork and nearly a quarter of the world in labor.... the hours that COULD be worked became less and less... and working became less of a normal function and one of devotion, heroism and madness.

But today.... the last blocks had been placed, the keystone was in place and ready... Since last night the world has been thrown into blessed darkness. The air is uncomfortably warm, but no longer scalds to breathe, and the light comes from torches and magic.

Today, many people have gathered below the keystone, eyes turned upward.

Today, the supports are removed.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Within the Sacred City
When: King's Year 199
What:

[Slowly, the upheaval of the land subsides with each successive flash. Others, one of the thousands and thousands of people find symbols themselves and those few brave, willing touch them.

The land, scattered with tents and crude structures of wood and metal, has become verdant and green. Lush grass, trees all sway in a soft breeze, under the gentle warmth of the sun you once remembered and a sky, perfect and blue.

Creatures, familiar or new, depending on where you once lived, now roam, also exploring the expansive new, wild place in which you live.

In the distance, to the far south, the great doors have vanished.]




[Outside... there is nothing.]
