PLAYER POLL: LAST HERALD EVENT

thewatchersWith the game's last major event approaching (that being the large-scale Herald fight next month), we'd like to pose a question to our current players about an option we've been considering.
We are thinking of opening up the last event as a fourth-wall event, and providing fresh AU planning/CR posts ahead of time specifically so people (and any old characters, should you want to bring them back as well) can return for the finale. (We'll try to provide a varied field of options for both combatants and non-combatants, so it won't all be battle-focused!)
Actually taking down the last Herald will be reserved for in-game players and characters - you've stuck by us all this time, and we wouldn't want to take the spotlight away from you - but given this is a setting that has seen many characters and a lot of love, we'd like to know what you think about this idea!

arcadianvampireHey y'all, people of Daybreak Academy. Triad here with a player plot for those who are interested. No doubt you've heard Valvatorez and Emizel speak of Hades, a location in the Outlands that they both have called Home at some point? The place Daybreak made a Deal with about Emizel's enrollment in keeping Death King Hugo out of Nightfall if he was pleased with his son's growth?
Well, something on that end clearly has gone awry. Quite some time ago, Death King Hugo sent his son a cryptic message about the state of Hades as a whole. Curious, but frankly, difficult to decipher. Until now.
( Find out more within. )
Thank you! And I hope you enjoy this player plot.

Announcement: Endgame Preparations
Nov. 1st, 2020 07:03 pmthewatchersWith the upcoming holiday season and the projected end of the game in February-March, we have decided to close apps to new players in December, meaning November is the last month for new players to app into the game. Current and previous players, however, are welcome to re-app old characters for closure or to tie up loose ends, even when apps for new players have closed.
As always, feel free to contact the mods privately or leave us public feedback here about any concerns you might have.

Mark of the Herald Sign Ups -REVISED
Jul. 29th, 2020 02:11 pmthewatchersIn light of concerns, part one of the event is now as written, and will ICly start August 3rd:
The Mark will appear on those who opt-in to the events as before, but the effects will be different.
Those who are marked will fall into a deep sleep, and reports will soon come in from around the world and from human-populated sections of the Outlands that humans with the mark start to fall into a deep sleep. While normally only effecting humans, any non-humans who are in close proximity can end up getting the mark themselves.
The area around the affected will start to warp, essentially creating a rip between the real world and humanity's collective subconscious. Characters who choose to enter this portal will find themselves in a strange, potentially nightmarish dreamscape warped by the mind of the Marked character that formed the portal. Characters must navigate and confront the dreams within to find and free the sleeper. The exact content of the dreams in question and the actions needed to wake them are up to the discretion of the player.
Once awakened the Marked will retain a new power* they possessed in this quasi-dreamscape (About anything except time-travel and unlimited reality warping is fine).
* This power does not need to be useful.
While none of the PCs will be affected by the next step, NPC marked will start sleepwalking towards a mountain that appeared in the Sahara after a sandstorm. and the non-humans that initially scoffed at what appeared to be a human-only issue are now being stricken with the same condition. Player Characters with the Mark will be able to sense where the NPCs are going, but will not feel the compulsion to follow as they're awake.
The Collective Unconsciousness? What should we be doing with that? What should it look like?
Stylistically, what best fits your character's mental state, if you're looking for inspiration, Silent Hill's otherworld, Persona's Palaces and Midnight Channel.
The idea is that the little segment is a symbolic representation of the sleeper, and determined to keep its creator asleep.
EDIT For those who want the option, multiple people can share the same dream.
