People of Asgard,

It had been assumed, after the recent attack on our city, that our enemies are able to use their power to imitate horrors from our respective realms against us. Be it a curse, a monster or any other mean with which they can attempt to bring this city to its knees.

For the sake of our safety and that of our friends and families, I mean to suggest a city-wide endeavor. The city was, unfortunately, unprepared for the battle that took place within it. To prevent such from happening again, its people are to unite their knowledge of horrors and monsters of different realms and how one may repel them.

For such to happen, it shall require the representatives of the different realms; it does not matter if there is only man or a dozen, to fashion a document of a sort. In which one may find a detailed description of creatures, curses or any other terrors that might be used against us and what may be used to repel them.

I know efforts have been made to put together all knowledge of this city and its Gods. It occurred to me that in order to perfect such wonderful endeavors, each men and women must think back of their own realm so when such a guide is created, we could hopefully use it to identify and react with haste and efficiency the next time our enemies raise their heads against us.

My own city had seen its share of curses and monsters and I am certain others have great input that could be of use. I urge you to put such knowledge on a scroll or in a message such as this that can be easily sent to me using our bracelets.

Any assistance regarding such endeavors shall be appreciated. It is my intention to walk among the halls of the respective God Houses to collect scrolls and information from the different residents.

Until then, I wish you all well.


Lady Morgana Pendragon of Camelot, respective member of House Heimdall.



[ Added are the address of New Camelot as well as the number of her bracelet. Answers can be given here or sent to this post that was especially made for that purpose and has more directions! ]

Please. Being discharged of my usual obligations from home with my arrival, time is one thing I now have an excess of. Cooperation is key to success, it's good that you found our discussion enlightening. [He'd prefer to work alone, but Strahta does operate on a democracy. Hubert knows full well to value the opinion of everyone, from the commoner to the noble.]

Lady Morgana. [A tone of acknowledgement, and...

About time he introduces himself too, huh.] Hubert Oswell of Strahta, House Baldr.

[veneficus]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Hubert of Strahta. You say you have arrived here only recently. May I ask when?

[strahta]

It is mine as well, Lady Morgana. [he'd give a formal bow and all if he wasn't doing this voiced...] Correct. I arrived two weeks ago, 3 days before the darkness overtook the city.

[veneficus]

Such a terrible time, or so I have heard. I regret that this is the way you were introduced to this city. Are you well? Many were injured during these days.

[strahta]

There's no need for that, I'm fine. I've been attempting to find more information about Asgard prior, and nothing teaches like firsthand experience. [even negative, yes, that's how he's seeing it.] Finding any semblance of order during that time of chaos has been more difficult, but it has been doable.

[a beat. speaking of which...]

Would you happen to be related to Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, Lady Morgana?

[veneficus]

[ A rather refreshing take on things. Allow her a blink or two before she'll nod. ]

You have met my younger brother. We are related, indeed.

[strahta]

He was the one who made the attempt to organize and rally the people, in fighting back against the Taken and protecting those who can't. We met then. [referring to Arthur's call for volunteers back then, yes, and his sister? ...Interesting to note.] Are you both of noble birth?

[veneficus]

Certainly we both are. He more than I. I am simply the daughter of a lord, while he is the Crown Prince of Camelot.

[ It is a lie, of course. But she will not openly declare herself to be Uther's bastard daughter just yet. Furthermore, Gorlois is still her father as far as she's concerned. The fact that Uther is related to her by blood doesn't make him her father. ]

[strahta]

--Crown prince? [There's clearly discernible surprise in his tone.] I see, that would explain his leadership skills.

[...Huh. He wouldn't have thought more of it if it was just sharing a last name, but she did just admit he was her younger brother. She could be saying she's of lesser overall 'importance' because the prince is the one who will one day become king, but 'daughter of a lord'? Does that imply a different...

The thought crosses his mind, but he also knows that pressing more down that line would be of no use. It's none of his business, so no point being nosy there.] Have you adjusted well? Such a sudden change of setting and set conventions must be trying to most nobles, I would think.

[veneficus]

I have been here long enough and always with a friend. Myself and Merlin have found ourselves here with the first arrival of Travelers to the city.

[ a pause. ]

It seems as if it were so long ago.

[strahta]

[--wait what really]

You were here since the beginning, [--ah, well, or rather--] when Travelers were first admitted to Asgard?

[veneficus]

Indeed. We came among the first ones, both myself and him. We have found each other and began learning of this realm.

[strahta]

[a thoughtful pause.] You could help compile a detailed log of events that've happened in the past here instead. I've found a few in my search, though they are incomplete. It's true that the past cannot necessarily predict the future, but getting an idea of what Asgard was once capable of may be able to better prepare newcomers against what more there is to come.

[veneficus]

Mmm, I will be happy to assist with such, certainly. I'll ask Merlin; he is quite an expert in city-wide endeavors.

[strahta]

It may be considered as practice too, if you still wish to put together a compendium of evils across all worlds. The concepts of information gathering and organizing stays similar, albeit on a much smaller and more manageable scale.
