Who: EVERYONE
What: the August intro log and first god house competition, More Than Meets the Eye
When: August 8
Where: Gladsheim Palace for breakfast, around Asgard for the game/curse
Rating: PG-13; please take anything higher than this to a private log!

morning: a warm invitation
Everyone wakes up to a friendly invitation to breakfast at the castle with the gods. For most of you, this comes as a message on your bracelet, reading:
Join us at the castle today to welcome some new Wanderers into our midst. Breakfast will be served and a lively game will be available to all of our guests, both new and old.
New Wanderers are curious on their own, and this is the first there's ever been mention of a game. Perhaps it's enough for you to make the trek to the castle, to see what all the fuss is about, or maybe even to see if there's someone you know. Perhaps you want to learn more about the game, or maybe you just want the food.

For our new guests, this comes as a bit more of a surprise. Wherever you were before in your world, without even realizing it, you wake up in a strange new place. No time or space inbetween, just an awareness of There and then Here. A matronly figure tries to explain your circumstances with a sympathetic smile, but ultimately invites you meet them all for yourselves: the Gods of Asgard, and the Wanderers that arrived before you.



The sight that greets you on the castle grounds is a rather festive one, regardless of where you're coming from. Colorful streamers and flags are draped above large tables with room for several guests. Natives bustle about, cheerfully offering food and drinks to anyone that wants some. Everyone is welcomed to mingle and greet the new Wanderers on this bright summer morning.

the game: a friendly competition
Among the brightly decorated tables are ones highlighted in a specific color for a specific god house, and most of the gods themselves can be found sitting behind it with a few of their district's natives. They are here to welcome the new Wanderers into Asgard - but they're also here to explain the rules of today's game. There are coins hidden throughout the city and disguised as mundane items, and the god house that returns the most of their coins will win an upgrade to their god housing! No hints will be given, but the natives are excited to help facilitate the activity and happily invite you to wander through their districts to find what you can.

But you don't have to know about the rules to be playing the game! The coins are already hidden throughout the city, and no one knows what they are until they've been picked up. Whether you're banding together with friends to find as many coins as you can or blindly stumbling over an unpleasant surprise, the game and the curse are in full swing!

evening: a fair prize
At sundown, all of the coins in the city disappear at once, whether they're in your pocket or still disguised as a bowl. Points will be tallied and a winner will be announced (OOCly, on August 17) - but Asgardians are keen to celebrate regardless of who wins a rather inconsequential game. The same colorful display of tables and chairs is still spread across the castle grounds, although now they twinkle with fairy lights haphazardly blinking throughout the air. Snacks and drinks are made available, as well as more dinner-shaped meals for those that request it. Mostly the natives simply want to bask in the strangeness of these Wanderers from other worlds for a moment longer - but they're also eagerly listening to any stories from the day's mischievous game. Relax, enjoy yourself, or again, just stock up on some freely served food. Whatever suits your needs today. Welcome to Asgard, dear Wanderers.


[ OOC NOTE: This is the intro log for August, as well as our first god house competition/curse: More Than Meets the Eye. You are free to play with the curse prompts and searching the city in any way you want! If you would like to submit a map to earn points for your god house, please check out the rules to learn what to do. We will accept maps until August 17, at which point a winner will be announced and members of that god house will be allowed to vote for an upgrade to their god housing. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or need any help on the mod contact page. Enjoy, friends! ]

Who: EVERYONE
What: The June Intro Log: the Wonder of the Wanderers
When: June 8/9; remember that there are no IC dates or calendars
Where: Gladsheim Palace, the castle at the center of Asgard.
Rating: G - PG-13; please take anything else to a private log!

morning: welcome to asgard
Characters wake up in the welcome room as described on the premise page, perhaps feeling a bit under the weather. But as they exit the castle with Frigg and Sigyn, they'll find themselves under a bright morning sun with clear skies - and dozens of people frantically flitting from one thing to another. Natives will be bustling around, quickly trying to set up seating or preparing clothes, whatever these new guests might need upon arrival. The Gods of Asgard will be among them, some helping set up while others still remain in place for questions, as they are sure there will be many.

It's a little bit chaotic, but such is life in Yggdrasil. Ask your questions and find your feet, but move quickly; you have to select a god house by the end of the day. No characters can move forward in the game without being placed in a god house.




afternoon/evening: the lantern festival
Throughout the day, natives will be handing out paper lanterns in various shapes and sizes. Your character can feel free to grab one (or two or three, they're not counting) to decorate or write on. When the sun sets, all the lanterns begin to glow and rise into the air, suspending just above everyone's heads in a river of golden light. Natives will be setting up blankets and cushions for people to lounge beneath the lanterns, and there will be various fruits and light ales available for food and drink. Gentle music seems to strum in the background all night, despite no visible source for the music.

midnight: the silent disco
At midnight, the lanterns all start strobing with bright colors and hypnotic patterns. Confetti bursts into the air randomly, sending colorful bits of paper raining down onto the crowd below. It may be very startling at first: there's seemingly no music to accompany the festivity, but all a character has to do is focus on the idea of hearing music for it to begin playing in their ears. The volume at which they hear the music can be controlled at will, making this a party of general comfort. The natives and even some of the gods will be caught up in dancing and general revelry until the early hours of the morning.

When the sun rises, the lanterns and confetti all simultaneously seem to dissipate into golden motes of dust that linger in lazy tufts and streams before eventually disappearing in the morning light. Good morning, Asgard. Welcome home. ♥


[ OOC: This is the intro log for the month of June! All characters will wake up in the castle and be asked to pick a god house; you can take your time figuring out this decision out-of-character, but everyone must be in a god house by the end of the IC day. All of our event logs will have a top level for the NPCs to make themselves available to you, but some of the NPC team is out of town right now, so they'll tag you back as soon as possible. We're stumbling through our first app round here, so please let us know if there's anything we can help with over on the mod contact page! ]
