PLOT & INVESTIGATIONS
Story Plotting
The catch-all page for plot inquiries, NPC threads, investigations, player plots, plot suggestions, and everything else under that banner. Frequency of replies to NPC thread requests will be subject to mod availability, but we will do our best.
INVESTIGATIONS
This is where you come to seek out conversations with NPCs, have your character investigate the setting, or otherwise declare that your character is doing something we should know about. We are open to doing unsolicited NPC call-out threads but reserve the right to cut them short/handwave if they don't seem to be going anywhere or to limit their scope if we are overburdened. NPCs are not always guaranteed to be up for prolonged conversation, but you can try. To attempt to contact an NPC please put their name in the subject line. For conversations of general plot importance, we may ask you to make an closed log.
For investigations, you can freely use this page to have your character seek out information about the characters, setting, or plot. We do ask that you keep investigations to 1-3 inquiries at most, and to have those inquiries be somewhat related. If you want to investigate things that are completely unrelated, please put them in a separate comment. Additionally, please be specific about the approach your character is taking to find out information; their method will greatly impact how well it goes for them.

PLAYER PLOTS
Aion Teleos is designed to be open to player plots, and would be glad to accomodate them! Let us know in a comment below that you/your character is doing and how you'd like to approach it as a player run event. Please put the words "Player Plot" in the subject line.
PLOT SUGGESTIONS
If you don't specifically want to run a plot yourself but have some vague ideas of an event type you think would scratch an itch for the game, please let us know. We don't guarantee we'll use these ideas, but we will keep them in mind when designing future events.
Investigation/NPC interaction (Xishen)
- ...Likely not terribly important though still relevant, but he would apologize sincerely for not seeking her out before this, and likewise for disobeying her orders in the cavern back at the start; he has questions that he believes she's best equipped to answer, if she would find it acceptable for him to ask.
- He would mention the shift that happened this month, and would like more information regarding what exactly that is and the new powers afforded to him, including portals (I can glean the answers to this more or less based on questions that have already been answered, so there's no need to go into much depth here unless she would).
- The primary thing he would like to ask her about is the ritual that took place in the cavern, when they were first given the Kenoma. Namely asking the all-important what was that, along with questioning if that's something that's commonly done here. He also wants to know if the person that that, ah, happened to was another Aion, or if it was a normal person; he thinks it may have been the latter, but he isn't sure.

2) She will give him the information asked for, in that regard. She'll explain it very simply: he's become closer with the Kenoma, and can access more of its power as a result. Feel free to assume she tells him the same information as the other players.
3) It was a normal woman who did that... a devotee of the Regent. If allowed to consume the life of a willing person, the Kenoma can be drawn to this realm in greater, more tangible quantities than it could be otherwise. It being willing is essential. Besides that, Xishen will explain (albeit vaguely) that she has a special ability that enables her to amplify that effect.
It's not exactly common, though manipulating the Kenoma in such a manner has been something the Regent's followers have been working on for ages. Similar processes are used to create the black potions fed to new arrivals in the hopes of awakening their connection to the Kenoma.
