The End Arrives - the Month of Meddle
Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:00 am
The end arrives.
The Abrominae thrashes violently in its resting place within the Diamond, provoking a new force and causing something new to begin.
Internal stresses are too much for the invincible Diamond of Existence. A shockwave ripples along it, gathering energy and pressure from each of the strange fiery internal Facets. By the time it reaches the outermost Facets, the force has grown shatteringly enormous.
Entire Facets slide out of alignment with the Diamond, shards grating along a slicing path. Across any vulnerable or unlucky universe, the force of the quake is felt. The Immortal Facets are no exception, and everyone is thrown to the ground. The Diamond Watchtower rises into the sky as the ground beneath it sinks away into the Lava Molt.
The great volcano of indivisible adamas, long dormant, awakens. Lava pours forth, carving out a new channel in the Gardens south of the Molt. In a way, it is a beautiful sight, with magma and fresh-cut adamas gleaming pure and smooth. The utmost tips of many and more Facets drive their way into the new region, dislocated from long resting places to come crashing home here. The effect is one of great chaos and complexity:
The Excelsior Labyrinth.
Like a certain unfortunate diamond on a certain insignificant Facet, the Excelsior Labyrinth soars high above the gardens as one of the most massive and impressive sights within, but it is shattered into a multitude of pieces, increasing entropy steeply.
Within the Labyrinth, creatures and lands from any Facet could be found. Diamonds stud the corridors and narrow passageways. Climbable faces shift overnight, eliminating passages between mountainous walls. Blood stains streets where unfortunate cities were wiped out by onrushing diamond glaciers. The next turn could always be a dead end after an unending onward hike. Or it could split into a hundred smaller passageways.
The Diamond's peace is in danger. But perhaps new treasures and insights might be found within the Excelsior Labyrinth.
The Month of Meddle begins September 30th.
