Asphodel - The Eradication of Starfall Academy

[BLOX]

Thinbloods. Ghouls. Thralls. Soldiers. All of them have started claiming positions on the bridges leading to Starfall Academy.
Spots are contested. Students are threatened and beaten. The danger at the foot of their door seems closer- now, more than ever.

There is an electricity in the air.

"Why? Why did she attack a school? My kid sister goes there- so why...?! It's... supposed to be neutral!!"

"I just don't understand. I'm a student here! I'm not a fighter! I just want to get my medical license!"

"H-- Hey... if we're going to die anyways, why are we attending class...?"

"Won't anybody... save us? The teachers? The headmaster? What happened to that fast guy with the sword?! He can help us!"

"Please... I don't want to die here... I can't die here!"

Their pleas go largely unanswered, as the assaults continue. Neutral territory near Starfall is claimed, and the show of force of large,

cloaked soldiers who will tear down any in their path is made readily apparent. After this day of chaos, though, there is pause given, and they largely disappear.

Marina Vranovo had this to say.

"One year.
You have one year to bring me the bodies of Ethric Athelier and Andrial Harino and any valuable possessions that they may have.

If you do, I'll leave Starfall Academy alone. If not, I will siege it, and burn it to the ground.

Poison them. Trick them. Whatever it is you desire. Your methods do not concern me.

All that matters is that I get what I want.

Of course, you can choose to ignore this warning and go about your lives- enjoy your one year of peace.

But if you'd like a lesson from the past, look no further than Shadowmire.

... rather, the absence of Shadowmire."

The fear and panic of the ensuing threat persists, as Starfall Academy no longer feels safe.

On this day in 1869AC... preparations will begin. Starfall will be attacked, and subsequently destroyed by 1870AC.

The pit of despair was destroyed first. The beacon for the future is next.

It seems that this time... Asphodel will not be marching alone, either.

In one year, the second phase in the Esshar Extermination Plan begins.

ASPHODEL has formally declared war on STARFALL ACADEMY.

ooc note: 'this day' means the 2nd day of 1869AC.

this is when asphodel will declare a raid and set a date

the raid itself is not in 4 days
