LOCATIONS

The leader of each coterie, all colloquially known by the same name as their group—Jaguar, Eagle, Viper, and Salamander—will play a major role in the story, oftentimes appearing in events and even, during major plots, accompanying the player characters on their quests. While having constant access to them in threads would be difficult to keep track of and may lead to unfair advantages for some characters, and they will never directly comment to any network or log posts made in incensed or incenselogs, we do want to offer the opportunity for characters to interact with them. Therefore, with the exception of the aforementioned event posts where the NPCs might appear, all direct interactions with the coterie leaders can be done here. Simply comment below with the leader you'd like to interact with and whether it is in person or via medallion/journal in the subject line.

Note that it is fine to handwave minor interactions with the NPCs, such as in the case of exposition or receiving their quest orders, and you do not need to thread that out here nor ask permission from the mods. Relationships beyond passing familiarity as leader/subordinate cannot be handwaved however—in general, characters will not "build CR" with their leader to the degree they might with other characters in the game. They will still get to know them well over the course of the story, though.

Please also note that the NPCs are played by the mod team and are subject to the same tagging speed or question-answering expectations. We will respond as soon as we can!

Comments

Jaguar, just a quick note in the journal actually because translations don't work otherwise OTL

[ Sometime into March, a note about something interesting about the maze and its various ghosts is left for Jaguar via journal. ]

The wraiths in the proving grounds turned out to be affected by salt. It's considered an old bit of folklore about dissuading malicious spirits from entering homes back in my own world. They won't like coming in contact with it and a line of salt will stop them.

I don't know how useful that will be for helping make the grounds safer but anyone using it might want to consider carrying a pouch of salt just in case.

Hope that helps,

[ It was essentially a drive-by note from Bruno. There's no real expectation of a response. ]
