Woot! I know we've been rough on this event set, but it's been all kinds of fun! Thanks @Nicola, for letting us know so we could keep him in our prayers! Feel better.
Aegis, God of War says, "You are dismissed from My demense, Astarod. Go forth and fight well. Bleed fiercely, and climb the purpose you have sought to chase for."

Reaching down with a massive hand, Sartan lifts your head and draws a taloned finger across your throat, the wound closing as He does so.
@Kagrra set up a Moghedu hunting party, and @Zachariel had previously been having a talk with Temelin.
Kagrra did a really cool sermon, and right after he finished a group of 23 mhun keepers came in and killed the three of us almost instantly.
I couldn't have that, so I did my Cooper bragging thing and told Mhaldor I'd handle it alone. And then I did. Even though those 23 keepers turned into 23 keepers, ~6 conjurers, ~8 guards, and 5 knights.
I don't think they thought I'd be able to solo bash all that, but it was mega fun proving them wrong!
But we'll take the nine kills

All Shadowmancy and Terminus-related abilities have their balance costs reduced by 98.59%.
All Shadowmancy and Terminus-related abilities have their damage increased tenfold.
Litany now also affects denizens in adjacent rooms.
- Denizens affected have their stats increased significantly.
Long story short it's Cooper's fault.
The idea of Mhaldor being a 'lonely bulwark' is just so in tune with what Mhaldor is and tries to be and is commanded by the big red guy in the sky to be that it's just super satisfying to have it in our accolade for this.
and Hashan's

Not to rain on your parade, but it will feel more badass when they do it without constantly whining about how no other city is doing it (after their god forced them to). NOTE: I realize this does not apply to every Mhaldorian, but damn is it annoying to deal with and deserves to be said. Ashtan's style was far more badass during the Second wave, and I assume that was because they chose it themselves rather than being ordered to. Noting for future improvement's sake!
Ours is pretty fitting, too.Reading comprehension who?
Kiet and I have almost never gotten along and I have pretty much no bias at all about scolding him when appropriate (which is often), but the above was just unnecessary.

It's probably against my better judgment to respond to this, as I don't really want to derail this thread.
My remark was not a scolding of Kiet at all, to be clear. It was a reaction to his interpretation of the event itself. Mhaldor striving to be a 'lonely bulwark' (it didn't, it tried to do the opposite), and seeming "badass." I'm sorry if my criticism offends you, but if a city does a number of not-so-badass things throughout an event and then someone makes a remark that the city is "badass," it's not surprising for it to get a reaction. If you don't want Mhaldor to receive these criticisms, you should speak up and try to tone down your citymates when things are actually going down and they are doing nothing but whining at the other side. As a person on the receiving end of that throughout the event, I am not capable of complimenting Mhaldor on "badassery" during this one. I don't enjoy the bickering back and forth. I'd prefer they actually embrace this "badass" attitude and stop resorting to petty complaints every time I take any action whatsoever IC. But as long as it continues, it's going to influence my personal opinion, whether that opinion offends you or not.
To turn this to a more positive note, I actually think Hashan are the true badasses of this event in their own way because they made a seemingly crazy decision at the time, of their own volition, dealt with all of the consequences with little complaint, and seemingly emerged stronger for it.
Kudos.
Just calling it as I see it. Go to rants and expel your stupidity there.
If the truth offends you, then sucks to be you.

If you've got more, we can take the rest to rants, but I wanted to be sure and clarify that I found this to be a shitty thing to do and called out on it before we did.

Targ is all about doing what “needs to be done” - even if that means allying with an enemy for a temporary benefit. Don’t make up stupid shit so you can throw shots at someone you don’t like.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
I'm pretty proud with Mhaldor during this event, although we weren't able to do a whole lot it wasn't for lack of trying and pursuing dozens of different avenues. I don't think just because our God chose our direction means its any less than other factions directions, just like I don't think the admin reaching out to Hashan for the TT alliance first means they didn't also make, influence and play out that choice.
Often the reactions of certain people tend to spoil the whole pot, and that's a fine criticism. So is saying you dislike some of the choices Mhaldor made. But I think it is a bad attitude to rate factions in any world event, all it really accomplishes is breeding dislike, distrust and vitriol between factions which we shouldn't strive to do, at all.
