Coming Soon
Storyteller's Vault
Dark Fates Collide!
The garou of Sept of the Trillium Glade stand at a crossroads, their fate already written in the stars. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest serve as a dark and brooding backdrop for their tragic story, one that showcases a specimen of intrigue lurking at the heart of the World of Darkness.
The first Act of Dead Mountain is high-powered chronicle written for Werewolf: the Apocalypse and is meant to be played in any edition of the game. This tragedy is written for 3 to 8 players of Rank 3 Adren, and is intended to have a long game duration of 6-9 months in length.
Set in 1975, this story revolves around the garou of four packs around Dead Mountain, set at an ancient Red Talon caern doomed to abscess to save itself. The players will need to navigate the complex web of long-standing alliances and animosities that exist among the different packs here. They must fight to protect their territory from incursions by their enemies, while also trying to uncover the secrets of their own history and make hard decisions that will have lasting impacts, preserving the things most important to each garou.
Senescence provides an opportunity to take all of your favorite legends, happenings, character experiences and edition history, and freeze it in time. This chronicle is the first of two acts That allow you to create your own mythology in the region that new players in Act 2 will unearth and piece together. Act 1 is the vehicle for giving closure to the characters that never saw an end to their chronicle, that one showdown you never got to play out, or found out what your favorite character's ultimate fate was to be. And in the grim ending of this first Act, all of those things you love the most will now become the legends that reveal themselves to the garou that come long after, bringing closure to the events that are to take place here.
This is a story of tragedy, one that will test the players' resolve and challenge their notions of what it means to be a garou. It is a tale of ancient secrets, hidden truths, and the grim and unforgiving landscape of the World of Darkness. The players will need to rely on their own wits and ingenuity to uncover the mysteries that lie ahead, and they will emerge from the story as better, more skilled storytellers in their own right!

When Maksviah and Loraifon exited the cave, the first thing they heard was the sound of wing beats, bringing with them a warm and humid stream of air that clearly hailed from more southern seas far from their current cold location. Raising their heads to look up, both smiled at the familiar figure who’d arrived.
Tumblr media
“Big brother Vox!” Loraifon cheered.
“It has been far too long since your last visit, Voxgatum.” Maksviah said with a smile, “It is wonderful to see you doing well.”
Tumblr media
“It’s great to see you too mother. And Loraifon, You’ve grown so much!” The lugia said with a smile. “I can’t wait to catch up with you both.”
Voxgatum is now open for asks!

Zantzu@Loraifon: Have you ever had a special encounter or something special happen to you before?
Tumblr media
“Like, this one time, I was doin’ magic training stuff right? I was concentrating reeeal hard, but then I sneezed and bam! Flowers and plants and other stuff growing everywhere!”
“Or, or! There was another time I met a really big and colorful fire bird that had come close to the village, which no one who’s mean can do. It had rainbow feathers and everything, really pretty! I had a ton of fun playing and talking with it, but it didn’t stay long. It left right before my mom showed up too. I wonder what that bird is doing now?”

River@Loraifon: H-hey, you look different from before? Are you learning to transform as well? D-do you have any favourite forms you like to play as?
Tumblr media
"I love changing how I look, and it's super fun to shift and look like my friends in the village! Bigger bodies are harder to make though. I can't really get that big, but soon I'll be bigger then everyone!... I just need a lot more practice. Mom's helping me with that. I'm getting better every day!"
"Oh wait, favorite form, favorite form... Aaaagh, it's so hard to choose! All of them are so cool. But! I like this form the most! I mean, obviously my normal body is the best, but I love looking like my mom! This way I can be soft like her, and I can grab things with my claws and make things like she does."

Zantzu@Maksviah: Seeing the size, its unique color, and he never seen a reshiram in person, he was mesmerized...after a bit of staring, he asked nervously, ("I-Uh, W-Where did you c-come from ma'am?")
Tumblr media
"My rather unique birth left me wandering and untethered. I felt no draw to rest, I simply created. Billions upon billions of galaxies came forth at my command. It wasn't until a relative recent time that I chose to rest upon a planet, as most earthly beings do. I originated from the very realm itself, you see? Thus is why I look so unique, and why the answer to your question is what it is.”

Where the babie?
“My child rests with me.”
Tumblr media
“It’s nearing the hour he should awake. We have much to do today.” Maksviah rumbled softly, gently nudging Loraifon with her long snout, waiting for him to shake the sleep from his body.
Loraifon is now open for asks!

(blueespeon) Anigi @ Maksviah
Is there a reason why you do not show your true form? I find it kind of unnecessary to hide it, people are going to suspect you once you reveal that you have a hand in creation.
Tumblr media
"In all truthfulness neither this nor that form is my 'true' one, though my current one is a, in a way, simplified version of my true one, one that allows me to much more easily interact with others. They are forms I take as I see fit, and since my son is an arceus, I oft take on a from similar to his. It is similar to how Dawn and Dusk retain ‘regal’ and more powerful forms yet choose to take on ones that are softer, in a manner of speaking.”
“Truly I do not care what others think or believe about me, especially because many do not know of my existence. I do not seek to hide what and who I am. My actions and my words are quite open, you see. They do not care to learn about me and I do not care to say it. I seek no praise or worship as other legends do. I am content where I am, with my child and those few who have decided of their own volition to live around me."

(@askappos) Appos@Maksviah Surprisingly, Appos didn't seem phased by the Legendary. Probably due to being half one herself. "Hi, I hope I didn't wake you up or anything? Sorry if I did. Can you tell me what those rings around your neck are for?"
"Fear not, for you did not wake me. Being as I am I have no true need for sleep. As for your question..."

In the north of a world there lies a village both human and pokemon live in, enchanted and hidden by powerful magics so that those with nefarious intentions cannot enter. It is found beyond a frozen mountain range and nestled at the base of a mountain so tall it seems to pierce the sky itself.
Tumblr media
Currently it is the early hours of the morning, and no one save one is awake, resting within the massive cave that overlooks the village.
Tumblr media
Walking up the ledge and into the cave, following the main path leads you to Maksviah, nestled within a nest made of soft fabrics and surrounded by a river of flowing lava. She has a blanket cradled between her wings.

It seems you’ve gotten her attention. Speak to her?

Welcome to the Hearthbound Event.
This event will permanently introduce both Maksviah and Loraifon as characters. Currently only Maksviah is open for asks, and feel free to ask her about anything you like!
