Lunar festival- my favorite yearly event, is just starting. The Lunar Festival is important to Bell's RP for one major obvious reason-
It is the only time you will see Omen in game.
For those who don't know, Bellesta worships Omen as a god of Life and Death, who ushers the spirits into their next realm. He is granted with Elune's blessing, which makes him immortal. However every year he surfaces and must be reigned back into sleep (and his duty) by the one appointed to be his Bloodbeast, (That would be Bell.) by performing the ceremony of sacrifice.
The ceremony is in two parts. First is the sacrifice, in which Bellesta leads prey to Omen and lets him feast. (She thinks it calms him and fufills his hunger)
The second part is when Bellesta assembles a group to take Omen down, tiring out his physical form so he must return to sleep. She believes he may rise a few more times afterward, but it is her ritual that truly begins his decent back into the lake. (the reason to explain why he's likely to be summoned over and over)
I had intended something big last year, but my PC died literally the day before. (QQ!) So this year I intend to re-try this mess!
The plan is to have Bellesta get a group together in Tempest Keep to kill Al'ar and drag his body, literally, back to Moonglade. Phoenixes are symbols of Life and Death, and a proper sacrifice for a willing Demigod. Now to pull this off, Bell is going to need a group large enough to punk down the bird. TK bosses are easily zerg-able these days, but Al'ar is still going to take a few tanks so we don't have him floating out of range and mass-AOEing the raid down.
Once back in Moonglade, we'll summon Omen (provided he's not already tromping around) and then shove him back into the lake.
If this can be organized fast enough, I'm looking to do this on Saturday the 20th. I don't work that day. Post if you're interested in this, please
Note that characters don't have to be on good terms with Bellesta to be there, she'll take anyone along who isn't insanely disruptive.
