Some plot ideas

Here are my thoughts going into the MSN brainstorm.

Lovitar will put the male council of Askavi kaeleer into motion against Laithrian. He will also offend many with some hunting in the closed territories. I think Galyna's plans at meadowbrook at too delicate to let lovitar loose there, but she can still use the place to keep him in her pocket. i was wondering if he could be one of the jack the ripper villans in the city of Goth. The role seems well suited to him, and Galyna might see the fear he inspires as the beginnings of a plan to deal with Salvator in some way.

Annarian will start to see the threat Lovitar poses and begin to warn Laithrian's court. I think it would nice if she was able to get key information on lovitar using methods Lovi dismisses.


Devahn and Circe are nearly set to return to Hayll, at which point devahn will join the coven thread. i want to see what circe says to Devahn before Devahn goes to the hourglass coven. At the coven devahn will need to learn to weave tangled webs. her training has been spotty, but she knows you cant weave those alone and so needs a mentor. Cire can join her there as well. :) The coven will help them learn more about ivy, which could tie in the meadowbrook plots into a huge plot. In conversations with Lala we wanted the Devahn/Circe/Ivy plot to evolve into a mystery type plot.

Emmi will follow the lead of Gabriel in Askavi Terreille.

I think Oandra will be a tremendous aid to Aiden and Kitari's court when the bad guy (I forget his name sorry) shows up to cause trouble. i think she is equipped to see his deceit beofre anyone else given her political skills and priestess training. If phalon isn't going to play kitari we can do what we have been doing and defaulting to isolde. Maybe the transition is postponed because Kitari is sick/injured/poisoned by some nefarious individual. Maybe it happened at the ball?

In starting new plot lines. I would like to make a student character for meadowbrook so we can keep that active and provide a place to play for the new people since they are gravitating in that direction.

What would be nice is for Gabriel to have a plot develop in Askavi Terreille. Maybe the sapphire queen that has taken his heart is also sick/injured/poisoned and that would be a big reason to hire Emmi as court healer and start a mystery type thread also.

And finally. Who is doing all the poisoning? Maybe the new man who is to come and sweep Raina off her feet in hayll? Sneaking throught the dark gate to Kaeleer to cause some chaos and then back to hayll. Maybe he is a tool of Galyna and she caught wind of Gabriel wanting to double cross her, so as a warning Galyna had the guy poison the sapphire queen Gabriel purchased in Raej?

What do you all think?

It sounds deliciously complex.

I don't know about the msn brainstorming. Will that be a chat discussion?

For the poisoning of Kateri -- there was a character at the ball that I made specifically for her Vladimir Reid who could perform such a feat. He's a bit impulsive so... very easy to control.

Acheron and Giselle will hopefully become a team since Ashe is drawn to Queens anyway. And the trio will hopefully become a powerful set of Queens and Healer for later.

Nharkhava's court is very thin XD; So anyone wanting to join there is cool too.

I love all your ideas Devahn. Let me know if I can help in any way!

Vlad the poisoner would be great. Poor Aiden will be devastated, good thing he found Oandra, and she could jump right in and display her skills in politics and intrigue. Another mystery! i love it! i will check but i think Vlad offered a glass of wine to kitari. i can see it now, Aiden shaking his in disbelief that anone would violate the rules against harming others at balls and Oandra shaking her head in sympathy for Aiden's naivete.

i will start thinking of someone to join the court. Which position would you like to fill first? maybe one of the new people will beat me to it? :)

We discuss plots some on MSN, but this format works just as well, maybe better since any can see it incuding those just browsing boards. Maybe seeing his will draw some in?

While on the topic of new players, I had these thoughts also.

There are a number of new people to the board and i would like to find you all a nice place to play, so if any of these ideas appeal to you let me know. If you have ideas that have nothing to do with these go ahead and let us know those also.

Many of these ideas are new to the board and flexible, so if you have some ideas you want to explore in their context, we will work with you to see it happen. In short this is a time and opportunity to have a major influence on some of the large plot lines of darkest web.

One of the easiest entry points into developed plotlines is the meadowbrook school in Nharkava. Getting into the ivy story line will require talking to Lala. If someone wants to form another clique of students then i would enjoy making a character to be part of your clique. This is nice because you can rp what is usually the background to your character. Also it is easy to take your character to the taint or away from it.

Another is the the coven and assassins guild starting up in hayll. There is a travelling acting company/Spies/assassins that is up and going. Again you should have great flexibility in character creation. You can make a actor/actress, circus performer or other entertainer, anything really except fortune teller (we have a good one). If you want a lead actress then bring her in, Devahn is not a lock for the role and that is conflict, a key component of drama. Your character does not have to be an assassin or spy but it is certain at this point that the director of the company, named Niko, reports to Damian Troy in an, as yet, unknown fashion through his assassin guild. Also note Niko is adoptable as a NPC and is no slouch with a birthright opal, mad blade skills and some posts to his credit toward his offering. Circe and i will be using this plot line to initiate mysteries.

There is also the black widow coven starting up in hayll, and is sure to have some fun plots in the machinations of Damian Troy.

Do you want to run wild and wreak havoc? Join Lovitar in Askavi Kaeleer. Do you want to protect a lovely queen from the beast? Join Laithiran in the same territory.

It is a little more complex but another good place to look is Askavi Terreille. Gabriel is assembling his court and has some juicy plot lines ongoing that tie into just about everything. So you can do what i did make a court character to get an introduction to the various plots. The problem is that some of the major players are MIA, so it might take some effort and time to clean it up and go forward. Again though, it is a potential opportunity if some of the MIA players choose to stay away. Even if they come back there should be plenty of rp to go around and it is a great way to get close to the machinations of Galyna and the taint in Terreille.

Finally there is little terreille in kaeleer. Again a little more complex because of some MIA players , but the jack the ripper type killings are starting up. You can get your feet wet by playing victims like Marrian. This will be a little slower in developing, but who doesn't want to write scary and foggy london scenes?

If i left something out feel free to post it, and if something is wrong please let me know.

i also dont want MIA players to feel like they are being pushed aside. i am just trying to figure out how to advance things in their absense and would welcome their return, prefer it actually. They did a ton of writing here, and I would prefer that others could bounce easily from this site to others.
