Extinction (Certain Death)

[Chance]

In the aftermath of the Heist, it is said in retrieving the Heart of Vdali the party of nations had a choice to make. Stay and fight, and a rare opportunity to face- perhaps even wound or kill- the Demon King will present itself, or preserve to live another day and search for an escape. Wounded and prioritizing the divine object, they fended off the shadowy projection of the Abyssal Dragon and made for a portal exit once their prize was secured.

The Demon Lord Lykon claimed that Meranthe had five years to prepare for Atrellya's invasion.

This was proven to be a ruse, as the confrontation would reveal. A lie meant to incite chaos and panic, and it did just that; he died knowing what would follow. Atreylla's armies were presently occupied with the conquest of Aen, but swiftly changed. Scout reports and distant intel reveal a withdrawal, and fate has one more joke in the Ascendant's death...

A lone, demonic horse and its rider bares a message. A jus bellum dicendi: a formal declaration of conquest, penned directly by the hand of the Abyssal Dragon, the Demon King, Apprentice of Mordred, Destroyer of Worlds, prophesied to be the End of Times.

It is sent to all Nations of Meranthe, and reads,

"Hey!"
"It's me again, your dear friend Indras. How are you all doing?"
"Since our time was cut short, I thought I'd extend the invitation to each and every warrior-king. Make the trek to Atryella, and bend the knee. We treat our vassals well, but our enemies aren't so fortunate."
"The Demon Sage of Destruction, the Sage of Tomorrow, and the Sage of Light will be heading down there to take back what you borrowed from me. And I don't know, a hundred thousand or so demons."
"See you soon, hopefully!!"



Much like the Hollow World event, this is a large-scale public event (up to 45 attendees; co-DMs will once again be welcome). Not only are character deaths likely, but settlements will be razed. 
Multiple objectives depending on the development of IC and a sign-up form will be presented closer to the time for groups of 5 (in 2-3 weeks or so).
