The End of the Amaranthine Wars

The result of the war has been decided based on three factors. Either faction had the opportunity to gain one point based on these three different variables. These included:

• Participation in additional threads
• Prisoners of war
• The Vigilum and Afterlife leaders thread

The results are:

• The Underworld participated in more additional threads. (+1 point Underworld)
• The Underworld had more prisoners of war at the end of Act 3. (+1 point Underworld)
• Both Afterlife leaders met the posting requirements for the thread with the Vigilum leaders. (+1 point Underworld, +1 point Utopia)

Finally tally: 

• Underworld 3
• Utopia 1

As a result, the Underworld has won the war. 

results and consequences 

• For some time, the inhabitants of the Afterlife have noticed that the mists which surround the lands of the dead has been expanding - stretching out, and consuming more of the known territories. This inexplicable power seems to have grown angry at the feud that unfolded between the Utopians and the Underworld, and it sought to resolve the issue. Though the war has come to an end, it seeks to punish those involved. For this reason, the mist has now completely surrounded Utopia, the Underworld, and Asphodel - effectively separating them from the mortal realm. Consequently, no one is able to travel between the land of the living and the land of the dead, not even the leaders of the Afterlife. Any inhabitants of the Afterlife who were not in it at the time will be stuck in the mortal realm, and thereupon will grow weak until they can do little more than simply exist. This will occur for 6 months, and is a site-wide change. 
  
  
• As a result of the damage caused by battles involving Afterlife characters and their supernatural effects, several of the Lands of the Free are now facing undesirable changes. They are as follows:

1. Kunipar Cliffs now has a massive whirlpool at the base of the cliffs that will devour anything that is unlucky enough to fall within it. 

2. Opaque Beach is now frequented by cataclysmic, tsunami-like waves that often arise with no notice, and will wash away anything, or anyone, lingering on the shores.

3. Kular Valley, as it is situated in the lowland between mountains, is now completely covered in icy snow that refuses to melt. What lush sustenance usually can be found here has died off.

• The lands who supported the Underworld are being provided rewards for their support. This includes:

1. No steals or land challenges for 4 months.

2. Desirable weather that has lead to bountiful growth of crops and other foods. Owed to this, breedings from herd members will have no chance of resulting in stillborn foal, nor a reduced mental and physical health percentage, unless otherwise requested. This will be the case for 6 months.

3. Due to the same circumstances as listed above, Afterlife breedings will have double the chance of being successful. This will be the case for 6 months (the 6 month will be an OOC aspect - any afterlife breedings that occur should be liquid-timed to after the issue with the mist has resolved, or take place with an Afterlife member who was stuck outside the mist).

The lands who are being gifted these rewards are Ittudale, The Howling Keep, The Whore House, Toxin Raj, and Trembling Shadows. 

• Otherwise, please feel free to plot out consequences for your characters if you are on the Utopian side. The Afterlife leaders are determining their own interactions and have come up with some interesting plots, so be sure to look out for that. If you have any other requests (such as your character being taken prisoner, etcetera), please ensure you speak to the Afterlife leaders regarding them.

OOC rewards for participation in the war for individual roleplayers will be posted in a subsequent post.
