Starting at midnight on the 26th, Luceti and its inhabitants will find itself the focus of the Filial spirits, usually quiet and reclusive, now stepping out to deal with one of their own.

As promised, here is some additional information to help figure out how to play around with the spirits and interacting with similarly possessed people.

First off, each spirit has a certain time or place when they are at their most powerful. Consequently, characters possessed by them will enjoy these boosts and this in itself can be a deciding factor in what would otherwise be a stalemate. Here’s a quick run down:

Sona - She’s most powerful around lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Mostly this is concentrated at the southern lake.

Kipinn - He’s most powerful in high places, like mountain tops and the roofs of community buildings.

Faeren - She’s most powerful in the farmlands alongside things that grow.

Tsinku - He’s most powerful in the village itself, where technology thrives.

Eferin - He’s most powerful in the center of the forest where his heat may cause trees to burn. In fact, the upcoming forest fire may cause some trouble if his followers get too rowdy.

Hyt - It’s most powerful during the daytime under a bright sky.

Twila - It’s most powerful during the night time.

Nala- She has no domain and is generally welcome wherever she goes.

How possessed characters will deal with other possessed characters will depend on the interactions of the spirits themselves. A useful spreadsheet sums up these relationships. Those that have a friendly attitude to one another will generally allow ‘trespassers’ into their domain, but those they are not so friendly with may cause conflict.

Finally, to elaborate on Twila-possessed characters. Those with a natural affinity for darkness are likely to be possessed first. Once they have, they can try to recruit others less-compatible candidates to ‘join the cause’. Their goal is numbers. The more who are working with Twila, the better. Once they do, they’ll be inclined to act in their own self interest and if necessary, deal with others who try to get in their way. In the long term, the spirit Twila wants to stay this way, bonded to the Lucetians as hybrids, that way it cannot be imprisoned again. Think of it as pure survival instinct of an animal that’s spent way too long in a cage.

All isn’t lost. The other spirits may not be able to cage it again, but they won’t accept Twila reacting in this manner. Though it’s hard to tell what their beef with Twila is, they have an instinctive familiarity with the dark spirit and seem to act as its jail keepers.

They have the power to free people from Twila, but given their poor communication skills, figuring that out might just be a challenge. After all, the spirits can only communicate in shades of feeling and intentions, but not actually verbalize directions or marching orders. However, there will be a Malnosso post mid-event that will give everyone, possessed or otherwise, the info they need to turn things around.

[Teddy had been in the library on one particular day, ignoring the urge to fly, even as his wings twitched with longing. This is important, after all. But no matter how much he searches, how much he pays attention to the spines, he doesn't find anything on Twila. A few books on spirits, but those were mostly about the lesser magic, not full possession.

He's about to give up when he feels a familiar tug, the one of another person influenced by Nala, and he turns to smile, the expression growing more pleasant once he really sees who it is. Prim, huh? He gives a wave, turning from the shelf he's giving up on to give her his attention.]

Hey, Prim!

[ There's a tug on her end, too. The little part of her that's influenced by Nala prodding at her, and that's enough to feel at ease, although recognizing who it is helps, too. They only spoke the once, but this is someone Katniss likes and trusts, which goes miles towards Prim's own feelings on anyone.

She smiles, and it's genuine, only mildly influenced by Nala. It is, for the most part, Primrose Everdeen. ]

Hi, Teddy! You, too? [ She'll just go over to him, since she dropped off the books she'd had checked out. She periodically comes back to swap things out. ]

[His own smile is entirely his own as well, only mildly influenced by his own spirit; Teddy's always been open and sunny, easily smiling for others. It's perhaps why Nala out of all the other spirits was attracted to him.

Teddy leans back against the shelf (with his shoulder, it's awkward trying to lean on his back now that his wings are so large) and pushes his hands into his pockets, thumbs out, shoulders relaxed. It's nice to talk to her after having two run-ins with dark-winged folk, including his own boyfriend.]

Yeah, me too. But do you mean the wings or the library?

[ There's a grin at the question, Prim realizing how open-ended that had sounded. ][ She gestured to the wings. The same color, but more than that - it just felt that way. Prim made a little face, though, nose wrinkled. ]

It's sort of hard to maneuver, isn't it?
