This thread was a blast and I'd like to thank you all for participating in it. There have already been far reaching effects from this seasonal that have been felt in the time after by many people. I really loved seeing how you three worked as a team. Vega was the notoriously stubborn leader, charging in full steam ahead with little thought for her own safety. Vivian was the sensible one who kept tactics at the forefront of her mind. Because of her, the Knights are now a step ahead of the Ring. Arlo was unfaltering in his drive to save Vega, to the point that you even jumped threads in order to come after her. Good on you!
Well done everyone, I hope you enjoy your rewards. If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Rewards and Consequences
Knightly Thanks: For your efforts you have been given a golden ring bearing emblem of Rharne. (A fist clutching lightning bolts). This ring can be used three times a Cycle to gain favors from the Lightning Knights or the Thunder Priestesses. This can mean having them do something such as forgive a crime or investigate an issue of importance to you. You now have some sway with the government of Rharne. You must only show this ring to an official of either faction and they will know what it means. These request or favors must be reasonable, so use common sense. Repeated over-use of this reward will merit consequences.
Scent of Smoke: After repeated harrowing encounters with fire, Vega finds that she occasionally experiences minor hallucinations nearby of fire or smoke. This can mean that she smells smoke that is not there or see’s illusionary flames that are a figment of her imagination.
While she will initially think this is a result of intense stress, what she does not realize is that Faldrun has gained an interest in her and has plagued her with this affliction to test her resolve. This condition will not abate until it is removed either by the Immortal of Fire or another Immortal with a vested interest in Vega’s sanity.
Mark Upgrade!
Amid the chaos and smoke following the collapse of the building and the assault on Azurewind Market, Vega notices a blonde knight in full armor standing amid the crowd. The woman watches the Biqaj mixed blood with pride in her gaze and in that moment Vega feels a warmth alight upon the glowing Celarion Mark at her wrist.
A trill later another Lightning Knight passes by, obscuring the blonde woman. By the time the Knight passes the woman who had been observing her has vanished.
New Celarion Ability!
Brilliant Weapons: The Favored is able to create weapons out of solid light. The Favored can only generate one melee weapon at a time. To produce a weapon, the Favored must be in an area of substantial illumination (ie. Outside during the day, in a well-lit room, or at night during a full moon).

Fraught with Nightmares: After time passes Arlo begins having a reaccuring dream that depicts Vega dying within a collapsing cave or building. The scene changes every time but the end result is always the same. Vega is lost during some sort of collapse and no matter how hard he looks for her he never can find her. This may come to afflict him with paranoia around her due to his worry that harm might befall her. You may decide how long he is afflicted by this dream.
Deadeye: As a gift from the Lightning Knights, Arlo is given a masterwork pistol crossbow made from beautifully laminated yew wood cut from the Ywyngyll Forest that has gleaming Adamantite metal fixtures along with fifty bolts made from matching materials. The weapon feels as if it was made for his hands and is perfectly balanced. This weapon is made to contend even with armor plating. When using the specially made bolts with the crossbow Arlo will find that his bolts more successfully penetrate armor than previously.
