Timeline
Blight Bloom
Date: January 31 – February 3, 2021 (Noe Rajee 5–8, 1000 AB)
“Once every five centuries, the Blight stirs not with a whisper… but with a scream.”
Across the ages, there have been hushed rumors—myths half-remembered—of a time when the malice that festers in Hyrule’s shadow reaches a dreadful peak. Known only to the most obscure sages and whispered by old wanderers as “The Blight Bloom,” this rare event marks a violent and aggressive surge in the Blight’s power. It is more dangerous than any Blood Moon… and far more deliberate.
Few believed it would return. Fewer still were prepared.
But now, the Blight has bloomed.
📜 Preparation & Call to Arms
Beginning on 1/27/2021, the Community Board has been partially shuttered—no gathering rolls may take place while the villages prepare. Trade remains open for now, but once the Blight Bloom begins, survival will take priority over barter.
As the Blight swells in strength, the Dragons, Oracles, and Sages are dedicating themselves to defense—warding the skies, purifying the rivers, and shielding the forests. Yet even they cannot hold the tide alone.
The villages of Rudania, Inariko, and Vhintl have issued a desperate plea:
Champions must rise from among the villagers to stand against what creeps through the cracks.
Characters may only join the defense of one village.
You must defend the village you originate from.
Be warned: If one village is left undefended, there may be consequences.
⚔️ The Battles Ahead
The Blight Bloom manifests as three separate assaults, one on each village. Each will culminate in a Boss Battle—a manifestation of corrupted power unique to each region.
The battles will be held as follows:
Vhintl – January 31st 2021, 3:00 PM EST
Rudania – February 2nd 2021, 12:00 PM EST
Inariko – February 3rd 2021, 6:00 PM EST
These times were chosen based on survey results to include as many protectors as possible.
Please note: You may not join late, even if the fight is ongoing—doing so would disrupt balance and fairness.
🩸 A New Threat: Blight Sickness
The Blight Bloom brings more than just monsters—it brings corruption.
Characters may now fall victim to Blight Sickness, a dangerous condition that lingers long after battle.

🎖️ Rewards and Consequences
Victory brings reward—rare items, recognition, perhaps even advancement in your journey. But beware:
Characters may emerge wounded or changed.
Though death or permanent injury will never be forced, the dangers are real.
How you perform may determine what your village gains… or loses.
Prepare well. The Bloom is brief…
but its scars may last lifetimes.
🔥 Rudania’s Blight Bloom Defense
Date: February 2, 2021
Boss Encounter: The Blight Knight (Hammer Variant)
Status: Defended Successfully
📖 Overview
As the Blight Bloom swept across Hyrule, the volcanic stronghold of Rudania was next to face the surge of malice. The skies dimmed crimson and the earth trembled as a new variant of the Blight Knight emerged—this one wielding a massive malice-forged hammer and protected by cursed armor brimming with corruption. Unlike its forest counterpart, this version struck harder and targeted wider, testing the endurance of every defender who stood in its path.
The defenders of Rudania—many of them strangers until this day—fought tooth and nail to protect their scorched homeland, rallying under fire, flame, and the promise that the Blight would not take them. Not today.
⚔️ Battle Highlights
Keaton, a newcomer to Rudania, fell in battle early but was safely extracted by a fairy. Their recovery in the aftermath was marked by solemn reflection.
Helen, ever feral, bit the Blight Knight’s armor in a frenzy, bloodied and barely standing, but unwavering. Even as she collapsed, her fairy restored her to fight again—wild grin and all.
San, a grim mercenary, fought with quiet determination. Though blighted and burning, they continued striking the Knight’s weakpoints until the final blow.
Aderyn, quiet and precise, fought through sickness and pain, her sword gradually overwhelmed with blight. Even with her body failing her, she refused to yield.
Soruma, a towering figure among the defenders, took heavy blows and cursed wounds but remained standing to the end.
Sahira, newly awakened to her role as Rudania’s "Warlock Queen," arrived only after the battle ended—but stepped in as the unexpected healer, purging blight with growing divine light despite her inexperience.
The battle ended when the final piece of the Blight Knight’s armor was shattered, revealing its core. With a coordinated flurry of attacks from San, Helen, Aderyn, and Soruma, the creature screeched and dissolved into a steaming puddle of malice.
🌬️ Aftermath & Healing
What followed was chaos, pain, and uncertainty—but also the beginning of healing.
Sahira, exhausted and shaken, stepped forward to heal her people. Though new to her powers, she removed blight from the injured one by one—Keaton, Aderyn, and others—at great personal cost.
Aemu, Oracle of Rudania, arrived late to the battlefield. Overwhelmed by guilt and doubt, she attempted to heal San—but failed. San walked away, believing the problem lay with them—not with the Oracle.
San quietly resolved to seek answers, wondering if the blight would someday reveal who—or what—they truly were.
Keaton and Aderyn reflected in silence. The battle had left physical and spiritual scars, and questions about purpose, identity, and belonging began to surface among them all.
🧪 Notable Consequences
Blight Sickness spread among many Rudanians, and its effects may linger.
Sahira’s powers began to manifest during this crisis, though they remain unstable.
Several weapons and garments were corrupted beyond salvage, forcing their wielders to discard or destroy them.
🌋 Closing Reflection
The fires of Rudania did not falter. Though battered, broken, and brimming with pain, its people stood tall against the surge of darkness. They did not wait for heroes—they became them. And in the quiet moments after battle, as divine light flickered in trembling hands and hope stirred in wounded hearts, one truth remained:
Rudania endures.
🌊 Inariko’s Blight Bloom Defense
Date: February 3, 2021
Boss Encounter: Blight Knight (Spear Variant)
Status: Defended Successfully
📖 Overview
As the cycle of the Blight Bloom turned, the tranquil snows of Inariko were disrupted by a storm of malice. In place of volcanic ash or forest shadows, a curtain of chilling silence blanketed the battlefield. From it stepped a variant of the Blight Knight—a twisted, armored being wielding a malice-forged spear with unnatural grace. Though it struck with less brute force than its Rudanian cousin, its strikes were precise, and it left blight in its wake, seeping into both blade and body alike.
The defenders of Inariko—a scattered and varied force—banded together to repel the threat. Their success would leave scars, but also forge new bonds in the freezing dusk.
⚔️ Battle Highlights
Maura, a steadfast healer, fought through exhaustion and pain. Though wounded, she kept pushing, tending to others even after the battle ended and refusing rest until all were safe.
Kiki, the brave Rito, stood firm despite bloody wounds and a wavering heart. Her shield and sword protected her allies until the final blow was struck—and even then, she worried more for others than herself.
Raya, caught in the crossfire, suffered greatly. Blighted and bleeding, she still offered aid, concern, and gratitude to those around her. She survived—but barely.
Orala, stoic and fierce, fought with graceful precision and offered unexpected kindness in the aftermath. She lingered in the shadows, but not unnoticed.
Duncan, the silent warrior, took heavy wounds but refused help. His spear—though blighted—remained in his grasp. He quietly left the battlefield, only pausing when others approached.
Noel, lighthearted even while wounded, shared his coat with Raya, bleeding openly but more concerned for others. His charm and care earned him both affection and exasperation from the healers.
Nihme, the Zora Oracle of Wisdom, arrived post-battle to heal the wounded and collect corrupted materials. Her calm presence and healing powers brought relief and order to the fray.
🌬️ Aftermath & Healing
Blight spread among several fighters, with symptoms ranging from shallow lesions to deep corruption.
Nihme used her divine magic to cleanse Raya and Kiki of blight, while Maura patched up Noel and others with care and focus despite her fatigue.
Duncan’s spear, now corrupted, remained with him despite warnings to surrender it for cleansing.
Orala handed over her contaminated gear, showing unexpected humility.
Raya, cold and shaken, offered to escort Noel home after he gave her his coat.
Maura ensured both Noel and Raya made it back safely, despite her own injuries.
🧪 Notable Consequences
Kyo, a Sheikah with blighted gear, fled before she could be healed. Nihme departed to track her down.
Multiple weapons and garments were surrendered for cleansing, some possibly unsalvageable.
Several new connections—fleeting or firm—were forged in the wake of chaos: Raya and Noel, Orala and Duncan, Maura and Kiki.
Nihme’s role as Oracle was reinforced in the public eye, offering both practical healing and spiritual reassurance in a time of crisis.
❄️ Closing Reflection
Inariko weathered the storm not through sheer power, but through resilience, resourcefulness, and care. In the aftermath, wounds were cleaned, bonds were quietly formed, and the snows reclaimed the battlefield.
But the Blight left more than stains in the snow.
Inariko remembers.
🌿 Vhintl’s Blight Bloom Defense
Date: January 31, 2021
Boss Encounter: The Blight Knight
Status: Defended Successfully
📖 Overview
As the Blight Bloom descended upon Hyrule, the village of Vhintl was the first to face its wrath. The skies dimmed to violet, the earth churned with corruption, and from the dark emerged a towering Blight Knight—armored in malice and wielding a cursed axe. Its many limbs and parts were segmented into multiple weak points, but it fought with a tactical, deliberate cruelty.
The battle drew Vhintl’s defenders together: a motley force of Kokiri, Goron, Rito, Sheikah, and more. They stood as one beneath the canopy, guarding their home with unyielding courage. Though the village was spared destruction, it was not without great cost.
⚔️ Battle Highlights
The Blight Knight featured multiple damage zones and an elusive weak spot guarded by a horrific Blight Eye.
Elde, one of Vhintl’s Kokiri protectors, was severely blighted mid-fight and required a fairy revival to continue. Despite the pain, they returned to battle until collapsing once more post-victory.
Ylvi was nearly lost, her body riddled with blight and blood. She fell unconscious after a fierce defense—but was saved in the aftermath.
Lukai and Lu both fell during the fight, but were found alive afterward.
Dimas, the young Goron archer, was instrumental in landing blows to the Knight’s weak point and offered support to his comrades while battling blight infection himself.
Kaspar, the Rito, held the line and offered hope and comfort in the aftermath, guarding the fallen and remaining vigilant.
In the climax of the battle, the Blight Knight’s body began to collapse as its eye was struck, dripping corrupted malice into the soil. A final screech echoed before the monster melted into the forest floor, leaving only silence—and scars.
🌬️ Aftermath & Healing
As the air began to clear, the Dragon of Courage, Foras, arrived in spectacular form. With radiant winds and tears in their eyes, they aided the fallen one by one—beginning with Ylvi, who clung to life, and then to Elde, whose trauma from repeated blightings had driven them to the brink of despair.
Foras and Elde shared a deeply emotional moment. Through grief, guilt, and hopelessness, they reaffirmed their bond and swore not to abandon one another—no matter what trials came.
Dimas, once healed, swore to continue fighting and protecting his village, proud of their shared stand.
Kaspar, ever watchful, comforted both the wounded and the recovering, exemplifying quiet strength.
Lu and Lukai, waking gradually, returned to banter and recovery—bringing a dose of levity to the otherwise somber field.
Vhintl remained standing. Its people—though shaken, bloodied, and in pain—had endured. The blight had underestimated the village's courage.
🧪 Notable Consequences
Several characters beared the effects of Blight Sickness, which may manifest again if untreated.
Fairy resources were depleted. Some armor and equipment were permanently blighted.
Emotional and spiritual trauma remains—especially for those like Elde, who have faced the blight multiple times.
🌸 Closing Reflection
The battle at Vhintl marked the first clash of the Blight Bloom, and its outcome set a powerful tone: this village does not fall quietly. Through the strength of its defenders and the arrival of their guardian dragon, the people of Vhintl proved that courage is not just survival—it is resistance, it is kinship, and it is hope.
Date: March 31, 2021 (Shae Katha 12, 1000 AB)
As the Blood Moon approached, mysterious chimes began echoing through the wilds of Hyrule—faint, magical bell sounds that lured the brave and curious beyond the safety of village walls. These chimes were revealed to be enchanted beacons cast out by a hidden race: the Keatons—three-tailed, fox-like beings long believed to be extinct.
The Keatons had survived the Blight by forming secretive dens deep in the wilds, unaware that the villages of Rudania, Inariko, and Vhintl still stood. Seeking kin and safety, they sent out their beacons to call others home. Instead, one beacon was followed by a Goron miner named Baux, who discovered and befriended a Keaton named Akki near Cephla Lake outside Rudania.
Moved by Baux's kindness and his promise of sanctuary, Akki returned word to the Keaton dens that Hyrule was not lost—that others had survived. With the Blood Moon looming, Keatons journeyed out of hiding to join the villages, bringing with them ancient knowledge, provisions, and aid in battle.
Their actions during the following Blood Moon proved their goodwill, and their presence has since become a cherished part of post-Blight village life.

🔗 Click to read the full thread
🗡️ A Village on Fire, A Village in Flight, A Village Collapsing
In one week saw all three villages—Rudania, Inariko, and Vhintl—plunged into turmoil, not by invasion from without, but by the resurgence of Blight within.
In Rudania, a corrupted Dodongo detonated outside the village, scattering Blight and fire. Amid the chaos, Zo’ra, a once-trusted villager, fell fully to Stage 4 Blight and had to be forcibly restrained by San and Paachi using a bound and feral Tolbi as counterweight. The scorched aftermath left Rudania shaken and deeply scarred.
In Inariko, the battle began in the aftermath of an Alpha Wolfos hunt but quickly devolved as Keeta, Duncan, Taika, and others succumbed to the Blood Moon’s influence. Once allies, they became mindless destroyers. Taika, reborn as “Blighka,” rained chaos from above, and even the snow seemed to bleed as friends tore into each other beneath the sky’s red eye.
In Vhintl, a massive Blighted Skulltula shattered the village's elevated platforms after a coordinated effort destroyed its Blight Eyes. But the true horror came after the collapse. As villagers regrouped on the forest floor, Blight reared again from within. Kaspar, Jinghua, and Vernon all reached Stage 4. Friends attacked friends. The air grew thick with malice, and hope was hard to find.
🌿 The Resonance
Amid the wreckage and mourning, one presence stood firm.
Elde, the Kokiri warrior and caretaker, fought not with rage but with resistance. Despite being stabbed by Vernon—one of their oldest companions, now a husk driven by Blight—they did not strike back. When Jinghua, lost in the madness, lunged to kill them, they shielded themselves but refused to raise a weapon. They offered words instead of blades. They held the line—not against an enemy, but against despair.
The forest noticed.
There was no divine chorus, no glowing sigil in the sky. But something ancient stirred: a pulse through the wood, a warmth in the rain. The Resonance—a rare and sacred phenomenon, born when will and spirit align so completely with the land that the Old Powers are stirred awake—moved through Elde.
And in that moment, Elde was chosen.
Not by ceremony, not by bloodline.
By courage.
🛡️ The Oracle of Courage Awakens
Elde did not ask for the title. They did not want glory. But the forest saw fit to name them anyway.
They became the new Oracle of Courage—a living vessel of the forest’s will, imbued not with raw power, but with unshakable resolve.
Their awakening did not purify the Blight. It did not end the fighting. But it created a stillness within the storm—a tether for others to hold onto. For some, it was the first time in days they remembered who they were.
Elde would carry the title forward quietly. Without fanfare. Without reward. Only the weight of what it meant to protect not just their people, but their hope.
Twili Reveal at Rudania Town Hall
Date: November 7, 2021 (Maka Rah 25, 1000 AB)
📖 Overview
The day following the final battle against the corrupted shadow beasts, Loq called a town gathering at sundown, supported by San and Aemu, to finally reveal the truth about his identity and the recent attacks. Though nervous, Loq was determined to give Rudania the answers it deserved.
As villagers gathered—some disheveled, some wary, some excited—they were met with a surprising sight: Loq removed his hood and mask, revealing glowing teal markings, two-toned red and blond hair, and unmistakably non-Hylian features. He revealed himself to be Twili—a being from a parallel world known as the Twilight Realm.
⚔️ Revelations & Discourse
The Shadow Beasts were the result of corrupted twilight sent from the Twilight Realm into Hyrule by hostile Twili mages, transforming local wildlife into monsters.
Loq confessed that while his device, built from ancient parts, prevented a full-scale invasion, it couldn’t stop the spread of the corrupted energy.
He assured everyone that the corrupted twilight had now fully dissipated thanks to the villagers' efforts.
He explained that while some Twili are hostile, not all are, and the attack came from the ruling monarchy who still bear a grudge over a millennia-old exile from Hyrule.
The device—a fusion of ancient tech and magic—can be maintained and activated once a year to keep Hyrule safe from further incursions.
Loq expressed remorse for lying about his identity and history but promised full transparency moving forward.
💬 Community Response
Some villagers (like Paachi, Maple, Thalia) were unfazed, curious, or supportive—Paachi, in particular, lightened the mood with loud, chaotic flirtation.
Others (Ema, Keaka, Keaton) voiced skepticism, fear, or deep questions—ranging from the nature of the Twilight Realm to the ethics of continued secrecy.
Tensions simmered but were largely eased by Loq’s honesty, San’s quiet support, and the willingness of many to forgive.
🧪 Notable Consequences
Loq's status in Rudania is now publicly Twili, changing the dynamic of his relationships and social position.
Villagers are now aware of a parallel realm with sentient life and political complexity, introducing new cosmological stakes.
The town is entrusted with knowledge of the Twilight Containment Device, making its maintenance a future concern.
The incident strengthened trust among key villagers while setting a precedent for future Twili interactions.
🌬️ Aftermath
Loq concluded the meeting with an offer to personally explain or demonstrate the device to anyone interested. He vowed to continue supporting Rudania and protecting Hyrule, no longer hiding behind a mask.
He departed with San, who escorted him home—though not without first chastising him for teleporting inside without permission. The two shared a quiet, intimate moment after the meeting, marked by gentle humor, mutual care, and the lingering tension of vulnerability.
🌸 Closing Reflection
Loq’s reveal marked a turning point in Rudania’s history—no longer just a village of survivors, it had become a keeper of interdimensional secrets. While not everyone left fully at ease, the seeds of trust, understanding, and resilience had clearly taken root.
Arrival of the Mogma
Date: August 29, 2022 (Shae Mo’Sah 7, 1001 AB)
📖 Overview
The first Mogma emerged from beneath the surface in Rudania following a harrowing week of volcanic activity. For days, the skies over Death Mountain darkened with smoke, followed by tremors that shook the land with increasing intensity. These quakes, subtle at first, quickly escalated—rattling windows, toppling roof tiles, and shaking the nerves of villagers across Hyrule. Then came the fire: flaming boulders launched from the volcano's summit, reaching as far as Vhintl itself.
The volcanic outburst reached its peak with a massive eruption, sending debris and magma hurtling across the landscape. Amid the chaos, fortune-tellers and scholars alike failed to identify the source—until, finally, an answer quite literally surfaced.
From the cracked earth in Rudania, a strange mole-like creature climbed forth, introducing itself as a Mogma. Describing themselves as former denizens of a sprawling underground megacity beneath Death Mountain, the Mogma explained their civilization had collapsed due to greed-driven overmining. The resulting structural instability triggered the volcanic eruption and subsequent quakes.
🏘️ Integration into Hyrule
With their subterranean city reduced to rubble, the Mogma sought refuge among the surface-dwellers. Though unusual in appearance—resembling a mix of bear, dog, and mole—they were not met with fear, but compassion. The villages of Rudania, Inariko, and Vhintl each welcomed the Mogma into their communities, making them the newest race to live among modern Hyruleans.
🎲 The Death Mountain Event (Gameplay Note)
During the eruption week, players could participate in the Death Mountain Event, where they had the opportunity to roll once daily using the /tableroll fallingrocks command. While the event has concluded, those who rolled and received select outcomes were rewarded with a bonus OC Slot, allowing them to create a Mogma character immediately.
🌱 Closing Reflection
The eruption of Death Mountain was a harrowing event—but from its ashes rose something new. The Mogma, once hidden beneath the crust of Hyrule, now walk among the surface-dwellers as a symbol of survival and second chances. Though their subterranean empire is gone, a new chapter begins—for them, and for Hyrule.
Acolytes of Hylia Revealed
Date: April 15, 2023 (Keo Ruug 1, 1002 AB)
📖 Read the full event here:
📖 Overview
As spring unfolded across Hyrule, curious, shimmering crystals known as Goddess Plumes began appearing throughout the land. Feather-like in appearance and softly glowing, they sparked rumors and wonder among villagers and travelers alike. Many were unsure of their purpose—until researchers at the Inariko Library, with the guidance of Oracle Nihme, issued a call for donations.
Villagers from Rudania, Vhintl, and beyond journeyed to Inariko to deliver their findings. These plumes, said to hold divine energy, were gathered for intensive study—each one contributing to a greater mystery slowly unfolding beneath the watchful eye of the goddess Hylia.
📦 Donation Details
Participants were encouraged to donate Goddess Plumes via couriers, direct travel, or handoff to the Oracle’s representatives. In return for their generosity, each donor received a Job Voucher—a token of appreciation and opportunity, encouraging new journeys and vocations.
✉️ Notable Donors
Each name below received 1 Job Voucher per plume donated:
Chari — 5 Plumes
Kyo & Co. — 5 Plumes
Luigi, Kiki, Lou'Gih, Dia, Sam — 3 Plumes
Bo & the Stooges — 2 Plumes
Ra-ooo — 2 Plumes
Fern & Fiddle — 2 Plumes
Kayla // Yves, Tasmin, Sully — 1 Plume
🌀 The Oracle’s Ritual
As plumes reached a critical number, Oracle Nihme invited the public to a special gathering before the statue of Nayru in Inariko. With researchers flanking her and mysterious plumes aglow in their baskets, Nihme revealed a divine truth:
“These plumes are conduits. Hylia is speaking to us.”
She called forth two Sheikah—Keeta of Inariko and Yves of Vhintl—to participate in a sacred ritual. Neither fully understood their role, but under Nihme’s guidance, they bowed in prayer and extended their hands to one another.
At the moment of contact, a gust of wind swept the square. The plumes in the baskets and Nihme’s own hand burst into radiant dust, scattered by the wind. In their place, a faint glow appeared on the backs of both Sheikah's hands.
🌟 Divine Revelation
Nihme declared to the stunned crowd:
“Her message has been received. I am honored to name Keeta and Yves as Hylia’s chosen Acolytes.”
Cheers erupted. Researchers applauded. But not everyone felt joy—some were confused, others hesitant. Keeta, overwhelmed and withdrawn, could barely process what had happened. Yves, still recovering from a previous injury and body-swapping incident, fainted under the weight of the moment.
🧪 Consequences & Reactions
🎭 Yves (in Keeta’s body):
Struggled under emotional and physical stress. Yves had only recently confessed to being spiritually swapped into Keeta’s body and had been hunting in his place to avoid suspicion. Her recognition as an Acolyte added layers of guilt, fear, and responsibility she never asked for.
🧍♂️ Keeta:
Disoriented, uncomfortable, and unconvinced of his worthiness. Though central to the ritual, he kept a low profile and quietly left the scene, shaken.
🐸 Señor Froggy Pants:
Unconfirmed if he was notified.
👥 Crowd Reactions:
Kiki (Courier) vowed to spread the news with pride and pledged her support.
Goldie (Mole Adventurer), having hand-delivered her donation, declared she'd stay in Inariko for a while—enchanted by snow and sky.
Fiddle (Vhintl Youth) beamed with pride for Yves, secretly disappointed to lose their plume to the wind.
Beebi, overwhelmed by feelings of being left behind, resolved to speak to Keeta when things calmed.
Tasmin, silently contemplative, watched as Hylia’s presence echoed louder than ever before.
Taika, perched above the crowd, gasped and cheered with joy at the magic of it all.
🌬️ Aftermath & The Path Ahead
Though no one can yet say what it means to be Hylia’s Acolyte, one thing is certain: the divine is stirring, and those chosen are now marked.
With the plumes gone and the ritual complete, whispers spread that this is only the beginning. What comes next—visions, trials, blessings—remains to be seen.
The Inariko Impact
Date: November 7, 2023 (Ya Naga 3, 1002 AB)
A political rupture shook Rudania when Sheikah agents from Inariko executed a surprise, unauthorized arrest of San Keeta during a peaceful gathering. What began as a celebration ended in public violence, betrayal, and the destruction of Inariko’s own Council hall days later.
🌿 The Arrest
San Keeta, a reclusive mercenary, had gathered close friends to unveil their newly built patio. The moment was shattered when masked Sheikah from Inariko ambushed the event, claiming San was a fugitive guilty of murder and evasion of execution.
Before witnesses could react, San was unmasked, restrained, and accused by Councilman Simmon Kamado, uncle to one of the deceased. Under pressure, San confessed to the crimes—though the authenticity of their words remains contested.
Allies like Loq, Mati, and Yves tried to intervene, but San was taken—bloodied and bound—from Rudanian soil.
🌋 The Oracle's Wrath
Upon learning of San’s capture, Oracle Aemu—too late to stop it—unleashed her divine fury on Inariko. In an explosion of rage:
The Sheikah Council Hall was obliterated
The surrounding promenade and homes suffered critical damage
No lives were lost, but the symbolism was clear: Inariko had crossed a line
⚠️ The Confrontation
Aggressors:
Inarikan Sheikah enforcers
Councilman Simmon Kamado
Operating under the authority of the Inariko Sheikah Council, without Rudanian consent
Target:
San Keeta, unarmed and surrounded by guests
Outcome:
San was forcibly unmasked, disarmed, and taken without diplomatic warning. Despite the presence of villagers and attempted intervention, the Sheikah succeeded in their goal—leaving Rudania shaken and furious.
🌬️ Aftermath
The trial was relocated to Vhintl, a neutral ground, under pressure from Oracle Aemu
Villagers across Hyrule questioned both San’s confession and the Council’s methods
Aemu’s destructive retaliation drew both reverence and concern
Many of San’s friends journeyed to Vhintl to testify or ensure their safety
Inariko’s promenade remains in disrepair; donations are being gathered to rebuild
🧪 Consequences
Inter-village trust has fractured
Inariko’s political standing was damaged
San’s identity, crimes, and trauma are now public knowledge
Oracle Aemu’s power—and her loyalty—were made indisputably clear
The morality of San’s actions remains a subject of deep debate
🕊️ Release & Return
Thanks to widespread support, divine intervention, and diplomatic effort, San was released from custody in Vhintl. Oracle Aemu personally escorted them home, joined by a small group of loyal companions.
San returned to Rudania alive but changed—re-masked, emotionally scarred, and met with both welcome and wariness. Some embraced them. Others stood at a distance, unsure what to believe.
🌸 Reflection
This was never just about crime or punishment.
The arrest of San Keeta exposed fractures in power, identity, and justice—forcing unlikely figures to act out of loyalty, rage, and love. From celebration to catastrophe, from violence to return, the villages of Hyrule were reminded: protection, like truth, often comes at a cost.

Discovery of The Archives
Date: April 11, 2024 (Shae Katha 23, 1003 AB)
🌌 Overview
As twilight fell over the cliffs of Inariko, a long-forgotten door deep within the Library suddenly stirred to life. Its surface shimmered with arcane hues—azure and violet—casting eerie reflections across the ancient chamber. Alarmed and intrigued, local scholars summoned adventurers from across Hyrule to investigate this magical anomaly.
What began as a strange occurrence became a full-scale, multi-week event involving exploration, puzzle-solving, and artifact discovery. Roleplay unfolded as characters attempted to decipher the door’s purpose, leading to the eventual unveiling of a secret chamber known as The Archives.
🧩 The Mystery Door
Players rolled 1d50 to interact with the door and pedestal. Mod responses revealed cryptic hints, magical sounds, and the gradual emergence of a pedestal near the door—suggesting some kind of offering or mechanism.
Characters from Rudania, Inariko, and Vhintl gathered to investigate, with some returning multiple times in pursuit of knowledge.
🧹 The Cleanup Phase
When the door's magic subsided, a library-wide cleanup was organized to restore the now-disrupted chamber. Adventurers could purchase cleanup passes and roll dice to recover hidden materials—many of which had been buried for centuries.
Participants rolled:
1d6 – to determine number of cleanup attempts
1d99 – to uncover ancient parts, resources, and rare finds
🪙 Notable Discoveries:
Ancient Sheikah Salvage: Ancient Screws, Gears, Shafts, and Springs
Natural Materials: Wool, Cotton, Wood, Silk, Spider Silk, Fancy Fabric
Ores: Goron Ore, Eldin Ore
Rare Finds: Silver Thread, Sandy Ribbon
🗝️ Relics: On April 16, one player uncovered a genuine Relic (Roll: 98), requiring appraisal from an Inarikian artist or scholar
🏛️ The Archives
After weeks of collective effort, the sealed chamber was finally unlocked and formally named “The Archives.” Overseen by Professor Alden, it now serves as a hub for Inarikian research and cultural preservation.
The Archives will host future events, artifact appraisals, and scholarly exhibitions.
Players who uncovered relics are encouraged to return for appraisals and lore engagement.
It represents a turning point for Inariko's cultural importance in the broader world of Hyrule.
🧵 Community Highlights (OOC)
While not part of the official in-character canon, the event gave rise to several memorable community jokes and roleplay energy:
The cluttered library was affectionately renamed “SHEIKEA”, a Sheikah-tech/IKEA hybrid.
Players leaned into the chaos with furniture jokes, character meltdowns, and pseudo-commercial antics.
The final hours featured an OOC-but-emotional “Closing Time” tribute as characters like Pommé, Solas, and Sato wrapped up their sessions with heartfelt goodbyes.
🏆 Impact & Legacy
40+ cleanup passes used across dozens of characters
Significant player-driven lore and community storytelling
Established The Archives as a permanent feature for future quests
