Rejoice, blessed Leto, for you bare glorious children, the lord Apollo and Artemis who delights in arrows; her in Ortygia, and him in rocky Delos.

As the summer in Greece begins, the preparations for the Thargelia (Θαργήλια) Festival within Corinth Bay have begun as well. This festival is dedicated to the twin gods Artemis and Apollo; signifying a rebirth of the city. On the 6th, the day is dedicated to Artemis, driving out the evil spirits of the land and purifying the town. Ritualistic alters and wine pouring will be located throughout the city. Hymns and laurels will be given out to those who wish to participate. Eiresiones, the personification of a sacred object, is situated upon an alter, ofr gifts of olive oil, bread, or spices to appease the goddess.

On the 7th, the day is dedicated to Apollo, who welcomes in the new harvest and the new offerings to bless the rest of the year until the festival comes around once more.

There will be booths located throughout the city offering laurel crowns, jars of olive oil and manna bread, and endless wine and music to enjoy the new season within Corinth Bay. The focus is on Apollo and Artemis, so lyres and bow and arrow challenges will be available to those who think they are the greatest of their time.

κάτι δεν πάει καλά ... που είναι;

This seems familiar. Another storm? The weather reports talk about it like it’s nothing to fear. The waves are yet again higher than they have been in decades, didn’t this happen a few months prior? Creatures who witnessed the effects of the first storm – and the body of Scylla that had appeared soon after. It seems to mask something, though it is only vampires and furies who are feeling the strangeness from this weather. They are on edge, feelings of dread seeping within their souls. Perhaps something is coming, but the storm is their current worry. 

Houses in the ancient section of the city are collapsing. The ground is shaking every few hours. Earthquakes? Of course, that’s what they are. Greece is prone to them. Nothing out of the ordinary. Storefronts are being flooded, and many are in search of higher ground. But how long will this one last?

Happy Saturday, everyone!

We want to thank all of you for being amazing members, and for being so patient with us while we roll out some new stuff for everyone.

First and foremost, everyone please read the note in the OOC. We need to update our list for possible species changes.

 We’re so hype to tell you guys that we are finally releasing our last playable species (...for now). This will conclude all the species that we had in mind for the roleplay, and they are called Rifts.

They are all open skeletons that will be available for applications at 5pm PST. That means you cannot apply or ask to reserve one until 5pm PST/8pm EST. We will begin posting them at 4pm PST / 7pm EST. They will post over the hour, giving everyone time to see what they are and which ones are going to be available. Please keep in mind that if you want to reserve one, you must have been caught up on activity and remained off the AC in the past two weeks. If there are any open next week, you will be free to apply. 

Quick notes:

We recommend looking the Rift up, build a bio about what they’ve seen, what they’ve done. Make it more personality based rather than deed based.

Persephone, Daughter of Zeus, blessed Only begotten, gracious Goddess, receive this good offering, Much honoured, you, overpowered by Pluto, you are beloved and lifegiving, You hold the doors of Hades under the depths of the earth;

You’ve heard whispers. You’ve heard promises. The Cult of Persephone is thriving, and the only ones who stand against them willingly is the Argos Pack. What does it mean to be dedicated to a goddess? They’re here, and they’re ready to continue out their goddess’ plans. 

OOC Note: 

Happy Friday, everyone!

We’re comin’ in hot at the end of July and we are still creating our next event for you all, hopefully to roll out in the next two weeks. We wanted to throw out a headcanon task for you guys to have fun with. You can write about as many as you’d like, or create self-paras, graphics etc to answer them. 

Tag the post with corinth.task so we can see them!

Hey everyone! This is a little late, but we wanted to let you know about some updates to the species page!

While we love and adore our Morgan Hunters, we’re currently taking them down for the time being. There was only one Morgan for a while, and now that there aren’t any, we’re going to be changing it up. Maybe they’ll come back in a little bit, but for now, all of the Morgan hunters were called back to their home towns because clearly the problems are bigger than just vampires.

“Of dreams, O stranger, some are meaningless And idle, and can never be fulfilled. Two portals are there for their shadowy shapes, Of ivory one, and one of horn. The dreams That come through the carved ivory deceive With promises that never are made good; But those which pass the doors of polished horn, And are beheld of men, are ever true.” – Homer

It was the Coven of Delphi who finally received a gift from Hecate – the gatekeeper of the Underworld, the one who controlled the spirits from afar. She was forever on the side of the humans; her beloved coven of witches who had always done what she asked, even when it was less than ideal. Calida Vidalis, Atlas Rose, and the rest of the coven followed the orders of Anastasia Vidalis – bring the Argos Pack to the coven’s sanctuary, and there they would siphon energy from the wolves they had been tied with for centuries to send the Eidolon’s back into the rift. 

Alarick Zaim was not fond of the request, but under orders of his Alpha, he, Nora Zhao, and Lia De la Cruz were summoned to the Coven of Delphi, and with the combined powers of Calida Vidalis and Anastasia Vidalis, they performed the ritual. The herb moly was the one thing that rendered Circe’s power useless against the coven, though while temporary, it was efficient when Atlas Rose maintained its magical use while the women performed the deed of sending the spirits back to where they came. 

Συνιστάται σε όλους να παραμείνουν στο σπίτι...

Everyone is advised to stay indoors. The weather reports are showing the beginning of a massive storm that is heading from the Aegean Sea over Athens and into Corinth Bay. Shelf clouds are visible on the horizon, and all residents are being advised to travel carefully when the rain and lightning begin, and to be prepared for winds that are predicted to be up to sixty-two miles per hour. Meteorologists have confirmed that the storm will linger for days, and are unable to predict when it will stop. All residents are to take extreme caution.
