Tempus has spoken!
It’s early morning when the raven arrives, alighting on a light post in the center of the courtyard. For several minutes the bird sits and watches, preening his dark feathers and observing the comings and goings of the Court.
Until he spies the Sovereign.
He puffs up his feathers, dark eyes gleaming with excitement in the early morning light. He wastes no time in leaving his post and flying into the path of the Sovereign, a flash of feathers and shadows.
His feathers are darker than the shadows entwined about the Sovereign's frame, darker than the starless night Caligo watches over so tenderly. He stops before the bay gypsy man, and waits: Reichenbach has no choice but to wait for the bird to move, or to make his way around him. Something in the bird's intelligent eyes imply he should stop and listen.
After a moment of staring him down, ensuring he has captured Reichenbach's attention, the raven speaks.
Not with the voice of a raven--but one of a God, spoken in the common tongue. And it sounds not like one voice, but several, perhaps even hundreds: young and old, a different version of the same voice for every age, speaking in unison across the yard and throughout the entirety of the Court:
“You will come.”
The parchment tied to his ankle comes undone by its own accord, invisible hands pulling its ends apart. It unfurls in mid air, hovering just before the Sovereign so that he and any others might read what is written within:
Your presence is required a week from today. I have cleared a section of Veneror Peak for us to meet.
Bring with you two others whom you trust. Do not think you can hide from me.
Go in peace.
There is no signature, no hint as to who wrote the letter... but something tells you this can only be the work of the deities.
Welcome to Novus’ first Summit! Your Sovereign is required to participate in this SWP. This will be a political meeting for the four Courts to come together on neutral grounds and discuss relations.
It is highly encouraged for the Sovereign to attend: be aware, Tempus will not respond kindly if Reichenbach is absent. It is expected for all members of the Regime to attend the meeting (@Reichenbach @Aislinn @Isorath) however, if one of more Regime members cannot attend, it is up to @Reichenbach to choose who to send to the meeting in their stead. Choose wisely!
Everyone else is allowed to post in this board and explore the area! Please be aware: the meeting area itself is currently sealed, and only the Regime and their chosen representatives will be allowed in! That being said, feel free to post threads wondering what the heck is going on! ;D
As for this thread: @Reichenbach has priority in replying. After he has, any other Court members are welcome to voice their thoughts!
The meeting will start on June 1st and will last until June 14th. A new thread will be started giving more instructions for the Sovereigns at that time.
Please be advised, tagging the Random Event account does not guarantee a response!
