A Rift in Dimensions
⌈World Event⌋

General information

"The world is changing, it's so easy to feel in the air around you, a coldness in certain areas that suddenly cant be explained. Mysterious souls are lurking around the corners, hiding in plain sight, but what are they? They seem like black shadows, withering themselves through the world as if on a hunt. So far little is known about them. One thing can be for sure, they are sinister creations!
From the information that has been given from the police department of Churchill, it seems that these spirits are purely evil of nature, affecting the living leaving them feeling cold to their bones with no actual explanation or origin. The person might even be unaware at first, only experiencing a freezing sensation inside them that cant seem to end. Some people have already felt the coldness, but the feeling is fleeting, so be aware!
Scientists are still trying to gather samples to understand these new creatures, but one thing is for sure, these spirits are not from this plane of existence. A current leading theory is that these creatures are daemonic of nature, being able to possess people temporarily leaving them feeling empty for an unknown period of time.
Another worrisome thing is that an information have been leaked regarding how the clergies have noticed an unbalance in the world, hinting at the fact that it might be more serious than at initially thought. What will happen to the world in the oncoming future?"

That is mostly all that the citizens of Gambion know at this point, but the fact is that a rift has been created this world and another. This is why we are introducing two new dimensions to the world of Kaleidoscope!

The dimensions
- Abyssus: (link) The Abyssus, or perhaps more known as the daemonic realm, is where damned daemon souls go after their final trial. It is also where summoners retrieve their creatures from. The realm itself is covered in mostly darkness, black swirls of spirits and lost souls all around. It is not a place you go for fun, it is a oftentimes a death-wish to enter the realm. But fret not, it is mostly sealed off from the living world, except for the rifts appearing all over Gambion.
- Ethereal Reach: (link) A much more mysterious place than that of Gambion. In olden times, the Ethereal Reach was often referred to through myths and stories. It is a dimension looking like plucked out of a fairytale. Crystals, wildlife and plants are littered all over the world, lit by three suns above, making the ground shine with a full spectrum of colors. Very little is known, and the connection to the rift in the worlds are unknown, but it is suspected that the dimensional walls between Gambion and the Ethereal Reach has always been rather thin, ever since the human appeared from the Earth dimension.

Official update
⌈January 2021⌋

General information
This update adds to the current ongoing event. If something is missing from this update, please notify admins.

Southern District overrun with shadow creatures
- Southern District is now extremely overrun with these shadowy creatures originating from the rift. They seem to have little interest in the living for now, but a few cases have sprung up where people have been in contact with them. Please keep your distance from these creatures. It is not advised to engage as they seem to turn aggressive.
- Most shadows are found in Southern District as of this update, but a few shadows seemed to have strayed and entered Central District as well, however they seem to linger in Southern mostly. The reason being is for now unknown, but people are advised not to travel to Southern unless it is vital.

Catacombs uncovered in Churchill Cemetery
- The shadows have been reeving havoc in Churchill Cemetery located in Southern District. The general consensus is that they are attracted to death, which stems from the idea that it is what they know best. Only groundskeepers of the cemetery is allowed here, but during a routine check up it was found that an old mausoleum had been opened, the lock and door completely broken open. Underneath was a passageway leading down to what the groundskeepers best described as being catacombs.
- While none of the skeletons found have been carbon dated as of this news update, the burial rites seen in the catacombs seem consistent with those found in other graves from the era of the second seraphim-daemon war.

Clergy called to help
- While these shadows spread, a few cases of people interacting with them have appeared. Getting in to contact with the shadows were only said to at first have an impact on people's aura's, however strange unholy marks and darkening of the skin touched have been discovered. Therefor the Temple of Justiae have called in all clergy willing to help, stating that their duty is to care for the balance regardless of race infected.

General information
This update adds to the current ongoing event. If something is missing from this update, please notify admins.

Dark sickness is spreading
- As mentioned in the last update, strange dark marks of unholy energy has been spreading, and appearing more frequently. For now it seems to only affect daemon's as the unholy energy seems to be drawn to them. Symptoms include a dark mass spreading under the skin, sharp pain in affected areas as well as hot sweats. The clergies at the Temple of Justiae are working tirelessly for a way to stop this curious infection, and urge any infected to report to the temple at the earliest sign of symptoms.
- People infected urged to come to the temples for examinations

Pillar of darkness in Churchill Cemetery
- An extremely dangerous pillar has appeared where the catacombs once stood, spewing darkness up in to the air. All citizens are to stay away from the area as the darkness are luring more shadowy figures to gather. A few cases of missing people from different races have been reported missing as of now, and police are doing everything they can to solve these two cases that might be intertwined. Once again we encourage the masses of staying away from the Cemetery as a whole.

Curfew put in place
- Because of all of the things above, a curfew has been installed upon Southern District to keep everyone safe. The curfew is in place between 10pm and 6am - any need to be outside these hours requires a permission slip. Because of lack of personnel, the police have encouraged locals to sign up for patrols to help keep the area safe.

General information
This update adds to the current ongoing event. If something is missing from this update, please notify admins.

Southern District under strict lockdown
- Because of the viral spread of these infections it has been decided that Southern District is to be contained and held under a strict lockdown to prevent further spread. This means that anyone living in the city is urged to relocate for the time being. For those infected they are to remain in Southern District until further notice, and each household will be granted weekly rations and are encouraged to stay home.

People missing
- More and more reports of kidnappings by people in hoods have been reported - especially in Southern District. Missing posters are filling every alley wall and light post as high as people can reach. People are advised to travel together (at least two and two).

Mass grave in Raleska
- With the large number of people dying, and because the infected are still able to pass on the sickness after death, the king of Churchill has declared it a necessity to keep all dead separated in a mass grave in Raleska. This is also due in part to the fact that the cemetery in Southern is in ruins after numerous flares from the pillar destroying the location.

Clergies still looking for a way to heal infected
- While the death numbers keep rising, the clergies are working on a cure. However for now the best solution has been to isolate the infection to the specific area. Authorities have urged the citizens who are infected to remain calm and civil, and to await further notice. Infected who have been to see a certified clergy healer may go to work, if it is advised by the clergy.

Metagame knowledge (Your character can only know this if they have the right ability)
- Telepaths can hear faint voices pleading from the mass graves in Raleska, as if the dead has been buried alive. This is due to the black infection from the Abyssus not being able to decay and therefore has copied a fragment from the host's soul that it will use to get a new host.
