MOON MARCH MADNESS | 2021
break-c.png
Last year, we learned that the Cultists were successful in finding the Grimoire that was mentioned in the Journal that I found in a hidden compartment of the ancient file cabinet we uncovered in the then West Crater, now known as the DSEC Military Camp. They found it in an unmarked grave during our Halloween event and immediately gave it to Decca, Leader of the Cult of Shut'thend.

The disturbing news at that point was, that Decca discovered cryptic clues within the Grimoire that had dark magic spells that could be used in incantations at a ritual with Cultist Priests to awaken Cthulhu, and once the clues were decoded, it led the Cultists directly to the Necronomicon ... Book of the Dead. We did our best to find it first, but came up short.

We had no idea what Decca's intention was with the Necronomicon, but it didn't take us long to uncover that she turned it over to none other than Yog-Sothoth. This was bad news, because the dark magic spells are even worse, and as we learned from Gothgorath, my undercover resource gatherer inside the Cult of Shut'thend, Monria has a lot to be fearful of from the dark side of the Moon.

We've always known that the universe can be unpredictable in its boundaries, where one entity begins and another ends. Wisdom teaches us to never let it be said that intention is not driven by need, nor need driven by relentless pursuit to achieve a goal. Dimensional realms exist, and serve a purpose that binds those unsuspecting of shifting sands, and draws upon common energy that unites civilizations with similar directional motives. It is this understanding that has us on alert, because the sands on Monria have definitely been shifting.

Yog-Sothoth, known as the Keeper of the Gate, breached an undiscovered portal at the top of the rock formation at DSEC Forensics in the past and gathered creature allies to cause chaos at one of our events. While he, Shub-Niggurath (his mate, and they being Cthulhu's grandparents) are relentless in their pursuit to take back control of Monria with the help of Decca and the Cultists, there is something more sinister going on in the background and we have yet to get a pulse on what it could be that we are facing.

There's no denying that there's an eerie feel in the air, and a thick tension that can't be shaken. There's something coming and we are blind right now, so we are lacking the advantage. I fear that to say that we must remain alert right now would be an understatement.

Let's do it anyway ...

UPDATE ... I posted a notice in the first post that we will not be doing free travel this year for the SPD event ... it's due to a time factor and a few other things ... my apologies for not including this notice when I first did the event thread.

There are lots of options out there to get you safely to Monria. :)
