| Various white portals have appeared around the city. They appear to be white circles about seven feet white. These appear on walls near the ground and emit a soft white glow. Studies have turned up no trace of the cause, but they appear to be stable wormholes allowing quick traversing of the city. A few are connecting key locations, like the mage's guild and the community center, and another on the community center connects it to the hospital. Some are connecting opposite sides of the city together. While authorities recommend caution, there have no no reports of ill effect from these portals. Nor has there been any sign of their creator. As the portals are appearing consistent in location and destination, a map of the portals is being created. Any citizens with knowledge on portal locations and where their linked partners are is encouraged to contribute to the mapping. -Public Statement -OOC Information- These portals have no effects on those that go through them aside from changing their location. To any who investigate them they will appear as normal, stable, wormholes. Players may create portals anywhere in the city under the following rules
If a wall behind a portal is destroyed or broken, the portal will remain where it was in mid-air. Attempting to pass through the backside will run into the wall the other portal is mounted on. Please respond with any linked locations your characters may find. Known list: Community Center North Wall Hospital South Wall Community Center South Wall Magic Guild East Wall Community-Center East Wall Welcome Center North Wall Community-Center West Wall MAF base West Wall Northeast building Southwest building Northwest building southwest building Part 2 There are by this point hundreds of these portals, having built up over the weeks. Now they are behaving differently. Instead of connecting to another portal in town, it connects to another portal in another world. This world is a mirror world of infinitas, mirrored around the center of the city of Marsilion. These are the differences - Perpetual twilight. Regardless of the time of day on infinitas. - No moon or other lunar effects - There is no banks of snow - There is no wind, rain, or any other weather of any kind. The air is still - There are no doors or windows on any building, though there is still door and window frames. - There are no people or plants or animals. Except of course those that have wandered in through a portal. - All the white portals on infinitas have a black portal counterpart in this world. Important information - Food and drink do not satisfy in this realm, if they are consumed while will not have hunger sated or thirst quenched. This does not count stuff consumed prior to entering. This applies to both food from this world and food brought into it. - All real world things (people, animals, objects, ect) brought into the shadow realm leave a 3D shadow in the real world that mimics their location and movements. These shadows only exist visually, they are intangible, and have no scent, taste or other effect. Magically the shadows do not appear to exist - There is no way to observe the real world from the shadow world - Magical energy drains out faster in this world. Spells will require more energy to cast, and more to maintain. Individuals with magical energy in them will after fifteen to twenty minutes have their reserve energy start to drain. - Any shadow world items that it attempted to be brought through a portal will dissolve into nothing on coming to the real world. Part 3 Characters who have been going through the other realm for whatever reason are going to find parts of them are getting stuck in the shadows. An example: When they leave their pinky remains in the shadow realm. Its shadow counterpart will appear in its place on their hand. Nothing in this world can touch it, but in the shadow realm there will be a floating finger. If its something like an elbow its still going to hold the arm together, and if its a foot its going to still support them when they stand. And no one is bleeding out. Blood transitions between the two worlds just fine, as do other bodily functions. These body parts cannot be touched int he real world, but will appear to be floating int he shadow realm, where they can be interacted with. If the person goes into the shadow realm again, they will appear whole there. But the missing part will be missing again when they return to the real world. For magic users - If a spell is cast from a body part that is in the shadow realm, the spell will come out there. - Magic reserves will not has reserves drained unless the person is at least 75% in the shadow realm. Any character who has used a portal just once can be effected at any point since their beginning. They do not need to be actively using a portal when a body part becomes part of the shadows Part 4 Any character who has used the portals even so much as once will find a personal item of some kind missing. It will have transferred to the shadow realm, leaving a shadowy imprint behind. Its location has changed, but once inside the realm its owner can sense where it is and only its owner can retrieve it, it'll phase through anyone else. It also can only be retrieved from the shadow realm. Also each time any character enters the realm they will leave more of themselves behind. Also the shadow realms community center has been cut off from access with a large black barrier. This barrier does not leave an impression in the real world and all portals on the walls of the real community center have disappeared. -No missing items will be in the shadow community center. -Items do not all have to disappear at once. They can disappear from now, to within 3 weeks Please keep us informed of when items go missing and when they are retrieved Part 4a The weather has dropped 10 degrees from what it says on the weather site. Part 4b The weather has drastically changed. The transformation snow is back from Winter Has Come The same rules of transformation apply. You may resuse a character's previous animal or select a new one. 1: Arctic Fox 2: Arctic Hare/Rabbit 3: Arctic Wolf 4: Caribou/Reindeer 5: Moose 6: Dall Sheep 7: Ermine 8: Lemming 9: Musk Ox 10: Sea Otter 11: River Otter 12: Polar Bear 13: Husky/Malamute 14: Wolverine 15: Penguin 16: Seal 17: Walrus 18: Snowy Owl 19: Puffin 20: Arctic Tern 21: Woolly Mammoth 22: Lynx 23: Snow Leopard The Community Center has frozen over, a layer of ice coating the whole thing, needless to say the building is closed now. As always if you have questions feel free to ask. Last Edited by Adreos On Feb 15, 2016 11:34 PM | |

| -Sign Ups for Part 3- Part 3 isn't starting yet. But we are looking for characters to be effected by this. We aren't saying what yet is going on with them. Nothing fatal though. You may of course do this in play, but this is for off camera start ups. Vulnerable characters are those that have spent time in this other realm., whatever the reason (curiosity, escaping the cold, searching for shortcuts, etc) Please post a reply with the character(s), or let an Op know on IRC. We need who, and how much time they have spent in this realm Players of signed up characters will be informed when part 3 starts. -PART 3 has started. Any character who has used a portal in as few times as one may be effected anytime- Last Edited by Adreos On Jan 21, 2016 3:38 PM | |

| The portals have disappeared. For several hours on the night of February 18 many large creatures appeared in shadows and appeared to try and wreck the place. No damage was done tot he town itself, though shadow rubble cleared the streets. A giant shadow titan appeared over the community center and fought people on the other side. Its top half exploded and it disappeared, along with the portals and debris. Aftermath
