APRIL INFORMATION POST
Hello everyone, it's time for the monthly information post once again! This post details the small things that will punctuate this month, and in particular this event for this month. Participating in it will grant the characters Triple Exp and will reveal some of the connections they have with this world.
Should you have any questions regarding this month's happenings, please feel free to post them here.
Spring, Sweet Spring || April 04th
There are a lot of people who love snow, rightfully so. But alas, there are others who don't like this natural wonder and who despise the frigid temperatures. Well, these people may now rejoice as Spring has finally reached Aqures Ixen! Starting on April 04th, all the snow covering the city will slowly start to melt away and by the end of the week, Aqures Ixen will be back to normal. Those of you who like snow however, fear not: it's still snowing in Trano Golsaucia and the Village of Santa Claus, and in this region both the snow and cold aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Christmas Spirit || April 14th
Following the efforts of many Heroes of Light, on the 14th the refugees from the Empire will finally reach the Village of Santa Claus and settle down. With that, the Village is going to expand considerably, promising for a Christmas better than ever this year… So long as the world still exists by then. This is also an opportunity to build better relationships with the Empire, or at least those who decided to stop following Garland’s lead.
There will be no post for this, but you are free to make your own posts to visit the Village of Santa Claus. Albeit available only two days a month, “Prajapati” will be added to the NPC Contact.
The Answer || April 20th - 30th
In the night from April 19th to April 20th, certain characters will lose consciousness and disappear, only to wake up in the Southern half of the Continent of Balance, right in the midst of Imperial Territories… And more importantly, close to the Calamity. Reasons for this are unexplained, and while going back to Aqures Ixen should be quite easy under normal circumstances, it will not be so. The Heroes of Light will not be able to use their transportation skills; for example Illusionists will no longer be able to use their skills to go back to previously visited locations, Sky Pirates will not have access to their Airship, Mecha Pilot won’t be able to use their robots, etc.
Thus will begin a trip home to Aqures Ixen, but this trip won’t go as well as one could expect it. Whether your character has awakened at the outer rim of the Calamity or by a farm in the middle of nowhere, they might encounter new NPCs, Doppelgangers and even have visions. This event will be entirely modded and will focus on the relationship of the characters with Crystallis, as well as on their homeworld’s connection to the situation at hand. Certain encounters with Doppelgangers might be emotionally painful to the characters, certain NPCs might not have the best sentiment at heart and what they will encounter on the path home or what vision they will have might seriously weird them out. And yet, they cannot have been brought to this place by sheer coincidence, can they…? Someone must have plotted this out, but who and why?
The sign-ups for this event will go up on the 10th of April. The event itself will start on the 20th and will continue till to the 30th. Characters will be divided in groups of at least three characters, and at most of six characters. You are free to make your own groups or let the mods randomize them. Participating in this event will grant a Triple Exp bonus.
That Kooky Cult! || April 01st - 07th
From April 1st through April 7th, Malik and Ellie will be investigating Downapolis in disguise to gather information about the Cult of Narayana embedded there. When they return, they'll share what they learned and hold a discussion about how to act on this information. Will the Heroes wage war and take revenge for the merciless slaughter of the Another Story group, or will they try to strike a balance of peace and work together with these people who are less than fond of the Heroes?

All Heroes of Light have a permit allowing them to board Airships from Shoopuf Airline© for free. Shoopuf Airline is a civilian company handled by Hypello. At this point in time, the following cities can be reached thanks to Shoopuf Airline: Balicea, the County of Flence and Trano Golsaucia. To reach Aerilon, one has to rent a ship at Balicea and access the city by sea. A special airship is dedicated to going from Esdham to Aqures Ixen. All Imperial Territories are off-limits.
As Airships stop by four cities, it takes them approximately 12 hours to go from their departure point to their arrival point. Chocobos are allowed to board airships.

• Tower of Mysidia: Calamity Simulation
Thanks to the investigation of the Tower that’s happened last month, the characters can now access the Calamity Simulation. This is a special program found on floor 101 of the Mysidian Tower, which shows how the Calamity evolves across Crystallis. Using special crystals, it is possible to control to an extent how the Calamity evolves. Reply to the thread in this post to use the Calamity Simulation.
