A "Valentine's Day Massacre"
In the days of old, the Ancients and the children of Thar-Eris, set aside a special day to celebrate their love of her. This jubilee was such a grand occasion for all, that the Ancients thinned the veils separating Thar-Eris and the realms of light. On this particular day only, beings of other planes who were the beacons of both light and love, would be permitted to experience her love as well. Angels and Archons soared in the skies side by side with the winged beasts of the air. Deep in the forests, dazzling lights combined with the sounds of regalement, offer a rare glimpse of the faerie folk dancing and celebrating with cherubim.
However...
Where there is love, also resides resentment.
And ultimately hate...
Several men dressed in priestly garb carry a decorated kursi inlaid with gold and rare gems. A rapturous looking man sits atop the carriage, remaining both still in action and unspoken in word, as they usher him through a thick jungle. Behind the kursi, the silhouettes of dozens of slaves trail idly behind in a slow march.
Suddenly, the silence is broken.
A rapturous voice echoes from atop the kursi.
"Let the massacre begin!"
The slaves run off into the night as screams knell over and over again. Muffled sounds of agony and wailing penetrate the darkness and soon wane to empty silence.
Loathing any aspect of Love and the fleshly constraints shackled by such an emotion, Emnon the Unspoken One has decreed that this ancient rite of blood flow once again upon the lands. At a place of his choosing, the Heroes of Thera may entertain the Unspoken Lord in a "Valentines Massacre".
Flesh against flesh, until only one stands victorious. The date of the Massacre will be February 13th and will begin at 7:00pm system time. Rules for the Massacre will be sent out via note prior to the event.
