Alright, everyone, I'm inclined to get us started and put up an IC thread at some point soon, so if you guys want to forge any specific connections with one another (you don't need a connection to everyone, or even anyone, but it'd help) you should get down to some details soon! If you've still got to finish up your mechanics, please do so!<br/><br/>ChaoticSky, I trust that you've got the story in your head for her bio, so you don't need to finish that before we get started.<br/><br/>Also, the start time of this chronicle will be the Fifteenth Day of Resplendent Water in RY 768, the Festival of the River's Gift in Akhetan (the other cities celebrate it within the next few days), and Immaculate monks from the nearby monastery of Atekh are gathering to perform the rites that the Mother River demands for this time of year. People from the farthest reaching settlements and villages arrive to offer praise to the Mother River and give thanks for her gracious gift of water and life, and there is a great chance for benefit as such. Nonetheless there is a tension in the air - the Daughter's Rebellion and its ultimate failure means that people are uncertain of what the Mother River will do this year, though none would be so obtuse to admit it.<br/><br/>Just to set the scene a little.
