Montgomery Lacroix is now Head Significant for House Endine. Please be advised. 

Welcome to the Concord! 

A sacred gathering of the minds of those in power from the three noble Houses of Asphodel. There is much to be discussed, and with the impending Summer Solstice on our hands, time is of the essence.

As the three Heads arrived within the glass walls of the Concord, they were stunned to notice a fourth figure amidst the ivy, perched upon a seat that had been empty for many meetings before this. Adelaide Sinclair has been a specter of the town for as long as anyone could remember, often thought of as deranged, unhinged, but still electric with a power that no one could understand. She was a permanent fixture in Asphodel with a standing invite to every Concord, but she never attended...until now.

“A shadow covers us.” She turns to regard every single person present before resting her milky gaze upon the Head of Oleander. “An enemy that is known, but also is not.” With a pale hand, she runs her hand across the stone of their table top, as if tracing through a map that she could only see. “Invisible soldiers march on ahead. The House knows. The House breathes. The House protects.” She closes her eyes as if to see more, brows furrowed in concentration only to relax moments later.

“The Summer Solstice. The ancient earth stirs, magic unbound.” She paused for a heartbeat, swaying her body as if to a silent melody. “Sacred ways, sacred traditions. Time, time, time immemorial. The chain cannot be broken. This must come to pass.”   

“A storm brews. Be prepared.” 

And almost as if a spirit had left her, her posture slackened, her back slumped against the backrest of her chair. She tapped her cane on the ground before standing up with a slight wobble. “I think I will peruse the azaleas...Call me if there will be tea.” And with a flourish of beads and skirts, she left the table.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Event 002! This officially marks the start of the event, so please be guided accordingly. If you need more information, please refer to the event post HERE. 

A sacred time now shadowed in fear...

For centuries, The Summer Solstice was a time revered by all Gifted, an ancient celebration of life and magic - where powers were heightened, the earth blossomed and grew lush, and the veil between worlds became dangerously thin. 

Now, reshaped to suit modern times, the Summer Solstice is a highly anticipated event in Asphodel. A grand festival that livens up the streets of this small town in a cacophony of lights, sounds and colors and at the heart of it all, the ceremony that formally welcomes Initiates into the fold, as official members of their respective Houses. A celebration of succession, of newly-forged bonds, of found family. 

This year however, a dark cloud hangs over Asphodel; a threat skulking in the shadows, a treacherous and unseen enemy. And though doubt dodges their every step, fear and dread whispers in their ears, the three Heads of House have reached an accord - 

           The Summer Solstice will push through as planned. 

Hello everyone! 

So this is definitely the message we've been dreading to draft for a while now. As many of you know, things have gotten busy for a lot of us. With everything going on, we are more than understanding of how writing and keeping up with the RP can be difficult. Rai and I have been struggling as well, and adminning has proven to become more of a challenge these past few weeks. 

With that being said, Rai and I have decided to close Asphodel's doors and take a step back. We have been incredibly blessed to have had such amazing writers help us build this world and we can not thank you all enough for being a part of it. We have easily fallen in love with all the wonderful characters and more than anything, are grateful to have become friends with such great people. 

Asphodel was our very first project together and the experience was definitely something we would want to do again. Honestly, it’s gutting for us that we can’t see this story and it’s characters to completion, but we’ve both realised we cannot give it the time it deserves. We understand that we have had shortcomings as an admin team, but we hope that you enjoyed the RP all the same. 

This isn't goodbye! Perhaps one day we'll open these doors again, or maybe even explore new worlds. All in all, this adventure has been something we will keep forever. 

Of course, we can't keep you from continuing your wonderful threads! Feel free to use the world we've built together and expand it however you please for your characters to continue growing. Rai and I just no longer will be here to further the plot anymore. 

We'll be leaving the discord up for a few more days to give you time to add everyone, then we'll be deleting it. 

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you again for the four months and we hope to write with you all soon. 

Much love, 

Hello everyone! Admin R and I have decided that our ask meme days are going to be twice a month rather than every week in order to focus more on plot progression as well as to not overwhelm members with asks! This will give you more time to work on your threads and work on your asks throughout the week. 

So with that being said, we will not be having our ask meme day this coming Saturday! 

Hello everyone! 

Because of the influx of new characters and muns (all of whom we love), Admin R and I have decided to extend the event till July 15, 2020. 

Welcome to Asphodel’s 4th Meme Day! This will last from Saturday 12 noon EST to Sunday 12 noon EST. The mechanics of today will go as follows:

If you wish to participate and have people send you memes, post ONE link to your blog directed to your inbox. You may link the memes you wish to answer in the description of your link post.

Make sure you send memes to as much people as you can!

Asks can come in the form of starter memes, character development prompts as well as honesty hour questions.

Participation in this group activity is absolutely optional and you may carry on replying to threads as you wish!

For inbox link tracking, please use the tag asphodel:qday . Please don’t tag your responses as such. This is strictly for inbox links.

Feel free to answer asks from previous ask days!

We hope everyone has a good time and let the sliding into people’s inboxes begin!
