PLOT SUGGESTIONS
◉ NAVIGATION ▼
If you have a plot, or even just an idea for a plot to suggest to the mods, please feel free to drop it here. You don't have to plan on hosting that plot yourself; if it's something you'd be interested in seeing in Ryslig, it could give us a good idea for a mod-run event in the future. We welcome all your creative thoughts, to help us continue to give the game playful angles!
If you'd like to run a player plot of your own, please don't worry too much about any lore leading up to it. You can just detail the effects of the event to us. From there on, we can work backwards to ensure there's a suitable inciting incident.
You may use a sock account if you wish to remain anonymous. The reason that we ask you to provide a sock is so we can contact you about your plot in private if necessary. This is to maintain a sense of suspense while keeping things unscreened.

pats new page, shiny!
Which leads him to believe there is something else that binds them.
What he's looking for is any information on what that may be, and then how to sever the connection. He does not mean harm to the Fog, he is not looking to go after her in anyway, simple to cut the proverbial string that binds a person to Ryslig. This will obviously take months of research, and he will be seeking to use his Soul Jam as a catalyst, as it's purely made of - quite literally - the thing that gives Cookies life (though it is current obviously inert).
My questions are obviously what will he learn, if anything? If he learns anything, including spells to attempt it, there will be at least one volunteer (Katurian) who will attempt to let him cut the bind. Obviously it wont work, and the potential backlash can definitely be made into a plot idea, but I'd love to roll the idea around a little with you guys!
no subject
In the distant past, monsters were created by the Fog taking Day/Night children and twisting them, since she cannot create people of her own. That's what the ancient monsters in the Wastes are; twisted followers of Day and Night. This knowledge can be found ICly through Oskar Fernstrom's research. It wasn't until roughly 9 years ago (the start of the game) that the Fog started taking souls from the Sea of Stars to twist into monsters instead, therefore there's no real research or information regarding this process beyond what the Fog's told characters.
To clarify, characters are not 'tied' to the peninsula. If anything, it's the opposite; they're tied to the Sea of Stars, which is why they keep getting pulled back into it after a certain amount of time. When the Fog makes a blind grab into the Sea to collect new children and drop them in the world, it costs power/energy to keep them there. She's too weak to make that stay permanent. This is something that could be inferred by asking characters who've previously spoken to the Fog about this, or just by asking the Fog herself. She can confirm this.
If PV would instead like to research what ties souls to the Sea of Stars, that's possible, and requires more of a deep dive. Please let us know if that's something you want, and perhaps submit it as a player plot if you'd like to go all out with it."

He will desire to know what exactly the Sea is, and how it pertains to their own worlds (which might come up with nothing, I'm sure), how the Fog can dip into it, whether it's noted anywhere that the Day or Night could as well, how to recall people to it if that's what they desire (some find the thought of unawareness much better than consciously being aware of what they're doing), and if it's more of a living entity, in the end, how to sever the connection to IT so people can go back home. He'd also look into people who might have stared at the Stars for too long, what they feel because he can't see them, debate on whether the Stars might be eyes, look into info for that, etc.
And yes! I have plans to make it into a player plot, once I have enough information, and have come up with potential backlash and etc. But I don't want to commit anything down yet, obviously!

Sorry for the delay! We are still very much interested in this plot, and would love to work with you on this. If you'd like, you can submit a more fleshed out version for 2024 player plot considerations once the submissions open near the end of this year. We're very flexible when it comes to the lore involved there, so whatever you think will make for a fun event, we can roll with it. Just keep in mind, unique event effects ensure your plot's more likely to be chosen, so feel free to get creative when it comes to the backlash to PV's experiment.
no subject
Of course it's all very much a WIP cause I definitely would love a more... well, you know me. I love gruesome and horror! I will continue to think! Plus I am unsure if I'm married to that idea!
