HEADLINE: REBELLION
Violet lightning tore through the sky and once again, served as a harbinger for our city's elite. Several people moved to follow it, eventually leading into the depth of the forest; a dangerous place for those who have not struck an accord, at the best of times.
From great portals did Fae unknown into our world. They were aggressive and sure, and sought to abduct our own. Several kith and kin were stolen from us, and taken to a places unknown. Some of the combatants who engaged in battle fell ill with strange, flu-like symptoms. There were rumbles of a sickness, as what plunged us into an age of ghost metropoles; D-13. As of yet, no cases have been reported, and the symptoms seem to have abated. There are those who suggest it could be an isolated strain that cannot endure in our dimensional space. Supposition, however, is not what is necessary at this moment in time.
What facts we have, come most recently are from our Duchess. She spoke on ADANet, giving the most haunting, yet empowering statement.
"Avalon shut its Gates to us upon the turn of the tide of D-13, and it opens them now to seek Lumina, the magical energy, of those it deems lower and defiled. At this moment, Mab, Queen of the Unseelie, and Oberon, King of the Seelie, are locked in bloody and consuming battle over Avalon. The actions they perpetrate against Earth are meant to further themselves in that battle."
She continued to explain that there is a great secret held by Convergence, and the Library there in. Over time, Mab and Oberon sought to exile many, sending them to a place called The Eldrich Isles of Avalon. There in, the exiles forged their one society and culture, and lived under the law of one called High Kokorri. Meanwhile in a time untold, the courts of Seelie and Unseelie, Oberon and Mab, would touch upon madness and corruption, seeking to consume and destroy their world of Avalon, and any others in their path.
The hands that forged the Fae, The Olde Ones Who Sleep, would rise again and cull and consume a 'thousand thousand' Fae before once again returning to their slumber. Only those mentioned, 'the exiled, the Fae of the Eldrich Isles,' would see life after, for they had no part in this wanton destruction of worlds.
With this telling of prophecy, Duchess Iris made an inspiring declaration. "I share this prophecy with you now so that we can declare to all, our intention to stand apart from Avalon. We do not follow, and we will not follow, Mab and Oberon through their descent into madness and ruin. We declare ourselves the Court of the Avis Teannadh, which in Fae means, 'That which is born of a new world/realm.' Our Court swears our loyalty and fealty to our declared lord, King Saefiraen. We will not be a part of Avalon's destruction, of itself, of this world and others. We will stand on the brink and we will protect this place that is now our home."
She follows with a plea to stand at the side of the nascent Avis Teannadh and battle the threats that come to our city. In this, she offered a favor of the new court, a rose upon ones lapel. One and all, join together, as family of this world. Stand together so that we may take back those we love that were taken from us. Let no one be left to endure the madness.
