north, south, west, ea...

Hey everyone make heart eyes at February! January activity results are in below for you — as are a few preparatory questions to get us all ready for Arc III: The House of Ravens.

( activity check; )

A CURSE UPON YOUR COW

The House of Ravens will revolve around the theme of Redemption and feature... a great deal of curses that characters must break. Further details will become available on arrival, but fresh entrants to the villages will each receive two curses over the duration of the Arc: an "ancestral curse" that will command them to pay for the sins of a village elder, and a later curse that will require them to compensate for their own wrongdoings.

For both curses, you can choose between sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony/drunkenness, wrath or sloth/indifference. Characters will have to devise ways to make up for these faults, depending on the storyline given to them. ( ex: choosing 'gluttony' could task your character to make up for a man who condemned a poor family to starvation by stealing all their grains during a period of famine. )

OTHER NOTES

■ The February calendar is now up! The locations and Story So Far pages will be updated mid-February once the Ellethia travel arc has ended.

■ We could carry out an end-February test drive meme, coinciding with the new Arc arrival. Or we could hold one in late March or early April, when everyone's a bit more settled. What's your preference?

Thank you, everyone!
