The sun was beginning to sink in the sky when the ground began to rumble. At first those gathered wondered if this might be another earthquake, but then the lake exploded upward, giant crystals emerging from the water. Upward they climbed, continuing hundreds of feet in the air until they curved inward and stopped.
It was a crystal wall, and it extended in either direction as far as the eye could see. The police began to usher everyone back toward the city, but the ground continued to shake and tear open, crystal and stone emerging in various colors and heights and bundles in random areas of the city. Some of them destroyed buildings, while others missed completely and grew unheeded.
A massive explosion drew eyes inward, toward city hall. There, the building lay in rubble around a giant crystal throne, four pillars of amethyst rising up toward the sky around it, continuing until they met the crystal walls that had grown into a dome over the city, leaving a single circle of light directly above the throne.
On the throne sat Opal, glamour no longer concealing her reveal her true form: six feet tall in heels, in a blinding white dress, resplendent, with her multi-colored moth wings, pointed ears, and entirely white eyes on full display. Around her, fanning out in all directions, stood at least a hundred thousand fae, at attention, enchanted weapons at the ready.
“Citizens of Faerune!” Opal exclaimed, and her voice rang out for miles. “I am Opal, Queen of the Unseelie fae! For centuries we have waited and watched while the invaders took a beautiful kingdom and turned it into this monstrosity of metal and wires, built on the corpses of our cousins, brothers, sisters, family. We do not want another war, we simply want this land returned to its rightful rulers. We, the fae, who have been here for millennia and will be here for millennia, this is our home. Our magic. Our legacy! And I have come to take it back.
“Your Council is weak. It took them months to do something about the buildings and lives destroyed during the earthquake. They did nothing while someone was murdered under their own noses. They fell easily to poison administered on their watch. I have ruled my kingdom for hundreds of years. I will not be so slow to act when my people are in need. Ask any of my subjects and they will tell you that under my reign the full splendor of the Feywild will return to this place.”
She paused, gesturing to the walls of crystal surrounding the city. “These walls are enchanted to allow fae and those natives of the Feywild in and out as they please. But those without pure fae blood . . . I will not force you to leave, but you will not be able to cross. Your kind in the outside world will not be allowed inside our world from now on.”
She lowered her arms. “Now, I don’t wish to hurt or kill anyone, but those who oppose me will be punished. Be smart, Faerunians. My people have only been growing in power over the years, and they will not hesitate to put an end to any insurrection. Please, return to your homes, go about your lives, and be at peace. Your Queen will take care of you.”
She smiled, lowering her arms to rest her hands on her throne. “Welcome to the new Faerune.”
((to clarify: vampires, humans, werewolves, witches, and hybrids can no longer leave Faerune past the crystal barrier, which sits a mile outside the city in all directions. Fae, fae subspecies, and Familiars can come and go unheeded. If anyone attempts to attack Opal or the Unseelie fae, they will be killed, maimed, and/or captured.
There will be a one year time-jump on August 1st, setting the in-verse time as August 1st, 2023, at which time Opal’s reign in the New Faerune will be established and a post will be made going over the changes that have occurred in the meantime.
The event ends July 16th, but event threads may continue until July 31st.
Welcome to the Season 1 Finale of Faerune~))

Julian took a drink out of his water bottle, his nose scrunching up taste. Vodka had been a shit idea. As he meandered between booths heading for the nearest food vendor, Julian thought about the bottle of tequila sitting at home. Mistakes had been made and he could only blame himself. Shoving the bottle into one of the pockets in his jacket, Julian fished out some cash. He thought he had decided when he saw the sign for candy corn ice cream and changed directions.
A person passed by him and Julian’s eye caught the sight of money fluttering to the ground. He snatched it and turned to follow the person. Tapping them on the shoulder he spoke, “this place is too expensive to be dropping money.”

Every year in July, we gather to celebrate the founding of Faerune and what it stands for: safety and harmony for all species. Our ancestors built this place to be a home for all of those who were cast out or mistreated by those in the mortal realm, and so we celebrate and give thanks for the opportunity to be ourselves and live peacefully.
This Founder’s Day, the Council is hosting a party at the largest lake within a mile radius of the boundaries of Faerune: Rainbow Lake. Famed for its naturally forming multi-colored crystals beneath clear water, it has long been a tourist attraction and popular swimming hole for those looking to bask in the rainbow light of the surface.
We will be having multiple party boats on the water for those who don’t wish to swim but still want to party off-shore, and live music and a dance floor set up on the shore. There are public grills available, as well as a few small summer games and attractions set up for all to enjoy. 
We understand safety is a concern for many, especially after the events of our last gathering, which is why we will be setting up a perimeter of police along the tree-line of the beach. There will be a single entrance and guests will be scanned before being permitted entry. No potions, wands, or weapons of any kind will be allowed on the premises. Anyone seen wielding large magic will be apprehended and made to leave. 
There will be no catering for this event. Everyone must bring their own food and drink and those that do will be inspected at the entrance. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we wish to have a fun and safe time for all.
((this event begins july 2nd at 10am est both IC and OOC. please use the tag ‘faeruneevent05′ for starters. you may begin posting your character(s) outfits for the event now with the tag ‘faeruneattire05.’ as always, event participation is optional, but please do not make any non-event posts during the even to avoid confusion. as far as the games and attractions, i’ll leave that up to you all to decide but think summer water games like slip-n-slides, water gun tag, magnet fishing games, etc.))

At 5:52pm, an earthquake struck the city of Faerune. A 6.5 on the richter scale, it caused the ground to crack, the buildings to wobble and some to fall completely. Glass shattered and pipes burst. The crowd that gathered to watch the parade scattered, screaming, crying, crawling to safety. The whole thing lasted three minutes, resulting in ten casualties, one hundred and fifty injured, and two dozen trapped for hours before rescue.
Once the dust settled, fae and familiar alike sensed something . . . something big:
The doorways to the Feywild in New York City, New York have somehow c l o s e d, the boundaries in that city restored.
What caused the earthquake? Will this keep happening? And, if so, how to prepare for it?
Below you will find a list of those trapped or injured beyond minor scrapes and bruises (though those trapped may also be injured).
TRAPPED
Bailey & Atreus
Mia & Ryan
Willow & Juniper
Nash & Nat
Shadow & Ember
Stevie & Jess
INJURED
Alanna
Chaarumathi
Jonah
Lucas
Mattie

(( you may make new starters for the plot drop or jump to it in your current threads. if you’d like to pull your character from the above lists, just let the admins know so they can pick a new character for the trapped pairings.
the event ends on oct 10th. you may continue and finish your threads, but please do not make any more event starters after this date. ))
