[QUOTE="Hanuman47, post: 2891799, member: 18349"] It is a frigid night. A bitter, biting wind lashes like an icy whip from time to time out of the east. The snows of the last few days have made the shapes of the dead (those that never rose) muted and indistinct, but now the skies have cleared and the light of no less than seven full moons has turned the field into a blanket of glittering diamonds. The last two weeks are a bit of blur to you. You remember well enough the circumstance that led up to your participation in the chaotic battle in the skeletal remains of Shadukar, but what exactly happened before everything went black at midnight on the 16th? Did you hallucinate that odd feeling just before darkness fell, like a snapping or tearing deep within you? It’s impossible to say. Your next memory is one of awakening and feeling...different. Changed. The clashing armies were gone, leaving the fields littered with corpses. For the next several days you have wandered about the blackened ruins, not really certain what to do next. From time to time you have seen the furtive shapes of others who do not rest easy in death, but you have had direct contact with no one. Perhaps you have crossed over to the gray wastes of Dolurhh? Tonight is the eve of the new year. Reflection upon the date, the death of one year and the birth of another, has cemented the reality of what has befallen you. It is a tradition throughout the Five Nations on this day to honor those who have departed over the last twelve months, to celebrate their lives with food and drink and story and song. You may well wonder if any glasses are being raised in your memory this night. Although you are unaffected by the searing cold, some vestigial instinct makes you crave shelter. The burned out shell of what was once the manor house of a well-to-do minor noble or gentleman farmer is adequate for your purposes. As you creep into the grim wreck, you realize you are not alone... [color=silver][size=1]Anyone may act. Tell us what our first impression of your character is, how the character reacts to the others. Please include your character sheet in your first post.
