Aeipathy NanoWriMo! Hey there, everyone! We have successfully finished a second week of NaNoWriMo! Just like last week, this was a herculean effort on the part of everyone. I can proudly tout that we have reached 223,998 words and 360 posts between 35 writing members of the Aeipathy community in just the last 14 days. That is truly amazing, and we really have to thank you all for continuing to move forward, plot, and keep the site going. I want to encourage everyone to keep writing, keep making your goals, and keep putting yourselves out there. You’re all doing wonderfully! As usual, if you need any help with anything relating to NaNoWriMo, drop me (Urit) a DM. That said, I want to give recognition to the top five posters as of just a few minutes ago.

Member of the Moment: Tane! With such a vast world created here at Aeipathy, it can be more than a little daunting to dip a toe in the water as a new member, particularly with an original character without a host of ready made connections and ‘ways in’. With that in mind, this week’s member of the moment goes to Tane, who has done a great job of reaching out to people and getting started with her girl Semiramis. Well done Tane and we look forward to seeing more of the same!

Events and Provincial Stories
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check out the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Greece
Information on Greek Events and Provincial Stories will be in the next written broadcast in two weeks time!
Egypt
Feminine Wiles Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: Female Nobility Way In?: The ladies of the upper classes of Cairo have congregated but they aren't the only ones who could be here. Perhaps your character is spying on the gossiping women? Perhaps yours is a servant working in the tavern that hosts this party upon its rooftop. Maybe you're a petulant troublemaker throwing rocks up onto the roof? @nenet just fainted, my gods! This is going to be great gossip. She might never live this down… At least @skylla seemed to arrive just in the knick of time.
The Greatest Show On Earth Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Port of Cairo, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Literally everyone. If you're in Cairo at this point, come see the circus! Way In?: The show has finally started! Quickly to your seats and watch @zein ’s act! It looks to be ending. Who could be next? Or maybe you’re more interested as to what is being sold outside of the circus? @callidora seems to have an interesting stall. Maybe you’re a thief, looking to make some extra pocket money. Best be careful! One of @kesi ‘s snakes was lost among the crowd. Good thing @azarion ’s cat was on the case! Was it part of an act… or does the circus not have control of their animals?
Dragon’s Breath Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Manopatopa, Egypt Attendance: Grecian and Egyptian soldiers Way In?: As the sun rises into the sky, pulled by Apollo or Ra depending on your beliefs, there is no question that blood will fall on the sands today. Are you a Taengean scout that is keeping an eye on the horizon to protect your King? Or, are you awaiting the Pharaoh’s orders to charge forth with your chariot and khopesh? Now is the time to prepare. No matter which side you are on, get ready! The war begins NOW!
A Tekh of a Good Time Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: The Riverbank, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a festival to worship Hathor and it’s already starting the way she would love it- with people drunk and having a good time! Maybe you’re a merchant selling wine. @nenet could clearly use another glass. Or maybe you’re just a passerby witnessing the chaos. What’s @chione doing with someone from the circus? Just be careful going too close to the river. @issa seems convinced that River Monsters exist.
Opportunity Knocks Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What in Ra’s name is the circus planning? They look angry. And now they have robes and masks and are talking about… Setians? Aren’t they the weird priests at the Temple of Set? Will someone speak up with @onuphrious ? The Tempest of Set clearly overstayed their welcome.
Judea
The Way Is Shut Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Greeks are being ceremoniously booted out in their own absence. Are you a Judean helping to cart their belongings to the street? Are you a Grecian servant trying to keep their master's belongings from Hebrew hands? Are you for or against the Greeks being kicked out of Israel? Are you a woodworker helping reinforce the gates? Perhaps you are a simple traveller, confused by all that is happening and warning all those who will listen that there are dark days ahead if the Greeks are angered. Speaking of Greeks, there’s one right now! Oh no, what could happen? This might not be so good…
Promises Made Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Damascus, Judea Attendance: Nobles and Invitees Way In?: @maeri and @amiti are getting married! What a joyous occasion! Are you close friends with either of them to have scored the invitation? Are you someone of import where you are certainly obligated to show up? Look at Amiti’s beard! Isn’t it fabulous? And there goes the blushing bride. Everyone to your seats. The ceremony is about to begin.
Golden Afternoon Date: Nisan, 673 BC Location: Moab, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: : Just a month after Predator, this event is open to all! After a mess that involved, @hazael ‘s dog barking at @issa ’s snakes, Kesi opened a can of worms by underpaying a merchant for meat to distract the dog. Now the merchant is shouting at @issa and @miri and a standoff looks to be forming! Are you for the foreigners, the crazy ones with the snake? Or are you for the Judeans? Or would you rather ignore it all, and see what other mess that you can get into? Everyone is welcome!
Bedoa
Crime and Punishment Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Eastern Dunes, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans and Egyptians. This event is on the border of Bedoa and Egypt, near Qalha, so just about anyone in those two kingdoms can join in! Way In?: Bedoan boys are being punished by Egyptian officials. And Africa is a highly xenophobic realm. This opens up tonnes of opportunity for drama! Are you a Bedoan thinking that justice upon your own should be handled internally? Are you an Egyptian yelling for punishment? Are you a religious being seeking guidance from the ancestors? Is your character a friend to one of the NPCs being punished? Or an executioner that knows something about their innocence that he should not? Are these boys even guilty? Or are they guilty of more than they were caught for? Does the crime meet the punishment or is it too harsh? And what is @akila and @saro doing? Are they… colluding?
New Events
War events coming sooooooon!
Event Curveballs Song Of Angry Men Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Royal Palati/City, Athenia Rafail of Marikas , Danae of Stravos , @sofia , @hector , @demi , @ariadne , @chrysanthe , @elysia , @iris , @cicero , @marietta , @hebe are all in active danger in this thread! The crowd is getting violent, surging into homes, breaking up groups, and carrying off young women to be sacrificed to their lust for blood and retribution! It's getting intense.

Or maybe you’re more interested as to what is being sold outside of the circus? @callidora seems to have an interesting stall. Maybe you’re a thief, looking to make some extra pocket money. Best be careful! One of @kesi ‘s snakes was lost among the crowd. Good thing @azarion ’s cat was on the case! Was it part of an act… or does the circus not have control of their animals?
Dragon’s Breath Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Manopatopa, Egypt Attendance: Grecian and Egyptian soldiers Way In?: As the sun rises into the sky, pulled by Apollo or Ra depending on your beliefs, there is no question that blood will fall on the sands today. Are you a Taengean scout that is keeping an eye on the horizon to protect your King? Or, are you awaiting the Pharaoh’s orders to charge forth with your chariot and khopesh? Now is the time to prepare. No matter which side you are on, get ready! The war begins NOW!
A Tekh of a Good Time Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: The Riverbank, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a festival to worship Hathor and it’s already starting the way she would love it- with people drunk and having a good time! Maybe you’re a merchant selling wine. @nenet could clearly use another glass. Or maybe you’re just a passerby witnessing the chaos. What’s @chione doing with someone from the circus? Just be careful going too close to the river. @issa seems convinced that River Monsters exist.
Opportunity Knocks Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What in Ra’s name is the circus planning? They look angry. And now they have robes and masks and are talking about… Setians? Aren’t they the weird priests at the Temple of Set? Will someone speak up with @onuphrious ? The Tempest of Set clearly overstayed their welcome.
Judea
The Way Is Shut Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Greeks are being ceremoniously booted out in their own absence. Are you a Judean helping to cart their belongings to the street? Are you a Grecian servant trying to keep their master's belongings from Hebrew hands? Are you for or against the Greeks being kicked out of Israel? Are you a woodworker helping reinforce the gates? Perhaps you are a simple traveller, confused by all that is happening and warning all those who will listen that there are dark days ahead if the Greeks are angered. Speaking of Greeks, there’s one right now! Oh no, what could happen? This might not be so good…
Promises Made Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Damascus, Judea Attendance: Nobles and Invitees Way In?: @maeri and @amiti are getting married! What a joyous occasion! Are you close friends with either of them to have scored the invitation? Are you someone of import where you are certainly obligated to show up? Look at Amiti’s beard! Isn’t it fabulous? And there goes the blushing bride. Everyone to your seats. The ceremony is about to begin.
Golden Afternoon Date: Nisan, 673 BC Location: Moab, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: : Just a month after Predator, this event is open to all! After a mess that involved, @hazael ‘s dog barking at @issa ’s snakes, Kesi opened a can of worms by underpaying a merchant for meat to distract the dog. Now the merchant is shouting at @issa and @miri and a standoff looks to be forming! Are you for the foreigners, the crazy ones with the snake? Or are you for the Judeans? Or would you rather ignore it all, and see what other mess that you can get into? Everyone is welcome!
Bedoa
Crime and Punishment Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Eastern Dunes, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans and Egyptians. This event is on the border of Bedoa and Egypt, near Qalha, so just about anyone in those two kingdoms can join in! Way In?: Bedoan boys are being punished by Egyptian officials. And Africa is a highly xenophobic realm. This opens up tonnes of opportunity for drama! Are you a Bedoan thinking that justice upon your own should be handled internally? Are you an Egyptian yelling for punishment? Are you a religious being seeking guidance from the ancestors? Is your character a friend to one of the NPCs being punished? Or an executioner that knows something about their innocence that he should not? Are these boys even guilty? Or are they guilty of more than they were caught for? Does the crime meet the punishment or is it too harsh? And what is @akila and @saro doing? Are they… colluding?
New Events
