[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 82270, member: 2020"] There is true panic in the Flanaess now. This is not the petty minor panic caused by the Sending of the Wanderer. This is not the little uproar caused by the Black Brotherhood. This is an insane panic, a panic gone beyond all reason and over the brink and off the cliff. It cannot be stopped, for the military is a part of it. In the Lortmil Technomancy, in Dorakaa, and in other isolated places, order is maintained. Also, order is maintained in the Dark Union and amongst the Scarlet Brotherhood. Elsewhere, there is - literally - bedlam. Cities are burning. People are murdering each other in the streets. Others are feasting and making merry, and even making love, in the streets as the chaos rages around them. All law and order has broken down. Every church is being broken into, ransacked and pillaged, while men curse the Gods who will not help them, cannot save them. Public buildings burn as mobs storm the gates, killing officials, taking a brutal revenge for every imagined wrong, or because the whim takes them. A deathly silence falls over the countryside. Cows and pigs, chickens and farm cats, wander aimlessly in abandoned fields. Harvesting machines stand idle, half filled, abandoned in the middle of their work. Trains on the railroads stand still, in the middle of the lines, engines still running, abandoned. Vast numbers of people are fleeing for the mountains, for the imagined safety of desolate places in the wilderness, or holing themselves up in whatever place they can find and defend against all comers. It is all the imagery of The Stand, come to Oerth. [/QUOTE]
