With the barrier down, Jigano and his fellow Loreseekers head into the Greatwood, eager to explore and discover new information in Into the woods without delay. The knowledge they find, however, is that the Fae are more than willing to abduct and sacrifice interlopers. A rescue attempt is made into the Greatwood, in long may you run, but those within its walls have already been sacrificed to the Tulmhainar.

The Blight
Plague / EpidemicA sickness has taken over the The Greatwood, called The Blight. Learn more about it.
- A wounded Undine appears in the Crimson Cataract Cataract! Through the healing efforts of all those in attendance as well as by Arduinna, she has been healed of the blight!
- Much research is being done on the blight, including efforts made by Phoebe in {PQ} Discovering Diseases. No conclusive answers have been found, though many attempts have been made.
- The culmination of events in {KQ} i wanna give you back the open sky lead to Jigano and Amalia finding a dying Tulmhainar. In an effort to let the creature see the stars one last time Safrin created a shaft through the center of the Spire. As she did so, she contracted the blight which subsequently passed it onto Ronin as well.
- For some reason, Amalia, Deimos, Ronin, and Remi Taliesin head back into the basement of the Spire in {KQ} change the tides. The thinking is that since Safrin became ill after falling into the Spire and being around the poisonous plants, maybe those are the cause of the blight. Though the group clears the plants, the blight continues unaffected. Oh, and the walls and ceiling crumble.
- The blight continues, symptoms growing worse and worse until Vi intervenes after months of silence with rose-planting tasks for both Grounders and Fae alike. The combination of roses planted as well as a sacrifice from Arduinna is enough to cleanse all those infected with the blight.
- Amalia learned that even gods could go blight mad, finding herself attacked by Safrin when she came to try and get the goddess to prick her finger on one of Vi's roses.
- Given the developments that the ascended were the method by which the blight was spread (oops), Queen Wessex offers the ascended for flower-planting guards and begins prep for LongNight

Attack on the Mathair
Criminal ActivityIn {KQ} my family tree The Voice Voice calls her children to her, with Wessex, Rexanna, Amun, Lucas and Samuel answering. She tells them to fight the Mathair (and the newly arrived Fae) so that she can kill the tree. Almost immediately Lucas is struck down, however after a lengthy battle, The Voice Voice sends out a pulse that devastates all within the area, killing the fae, the tree, and rendering her Bright Ones weak and useless. However as they return to her she explains that the Mathair is actually a Portal, and that soon after LongNight there will be other worlds for them to explore. Giving them each an upgrade for their valiant efforts (not you Amun) she also gives all the ascended a one-use pulse to keep them safe from the LongNight monsters.
