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.

We love the idea of Childe and Kaeya being procures of specialized items! As Aions they are more powerful than the average Achamite.

If they are feeling up to it, they could be sent to the mountains of Sustellus and steal something of a large creature that would be used in the creation of weaponry. We can introduce a new creature for them to encounter to be their first "big break" in making an impression with their contact. Please let us know if there are any specific phobias or lines that we should take into mind when creating the creature. Achamoth has several large arachnids we have not put on the bestiary yet.

Overall we think that this path sounds very workable. You are correct in that the Bebir would be expensive and there would be some hesitance in selling them to high profile figures like Aions, however at that point Childe and Kaeya will likely be more well-known in the Black Markets in general. Once you get close to that point you can let us know.

If you have any questions along the path of this plot, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi mods, thank you so much for getting back to us! We are excited and, after discussing it, we're all for whatever you come up with for a beast. We don't have any squicks or limitations concerning them. Time to live the scary arachnid life that they have been sheltered from thus far.

We did have one quick question: would we be needing the mods to thread things out concerning the monster fight or perhaps anything else to do with specific NPCs prior to them gaining enough notoriety with a(ny) seller(s)? If not, we figured we can start by doing a log with them snooping around the black market in general and make our way to them working on getting a better rep, but we don't want to bother you unnecessarily or accidentally go too far on our own without your input.

We have updated the Bestiary with the creature Childe and Kaeya will be hunting: The Falcetur, found in Sustellus.

No, you won't need our input this early on. You are free to thread out the monster encounter as well as meeting up with the NPCs afterwards. Once they gain a little notoriety we can offer a side NPC encounter that will give them some lore they can use later to further the Bebir quest.

As always, let us know if you have any questions along your journey. Good luck!
