Notes: The account he's sending this from doesn't have any followers, but he makes sure to DM the link to the social media of larger pages, news outlets, famous metas, conspiracy theorists, etc, in the hopes that some of them might help spread it. He also DMs it to every Starfallen he's aware of and/or can trace through the friend/follower lists of those he already knows, so it's safe to assume if nobody decides to share it your character can still have read it!

[ After recent events, Heron's post prompts him to finally get his information together. It's now or never - the risk of not sharing outweighs the risk of being traced. So this goes up on Ourpowers, posted by Anonymous from a phone he'll ditch when he's done answering questions, sitting on a park bench on the other side of the country from anywhere he can usually be found.

It goes up on WOM.bat around the same time, a little delayed by all the DMs he's sending, display name the usual string of nothing revealing. ]



The people behind Fantastic's sudden rise to power and the creation of Arcadia are called the Battlements of the Shining God. They believe in predestination, keeping things moving along the path laid out for them by their god, and in the past to that end have committed murders, magical interference, and ritualised killings of powerful meta individuals.

The symbolism they use is misleading. It pertains to the celtic god of healing, Belenus, 'bright one' or 'shining one', hence all the suns in their armour and their city and their name. But Belenus isn't their god. The deity they worship is known to them as the Lady of Endings, and she's spoken directly to members of their organisation in order to help lead them and the world down her path.

Their members are everywhere. At the time of receiving this information I was told we could trust the founders of the guilds but no other authority, and since that time Atomight has been ousted unexpectedly and replaced by a man who has no business leading the Alliance, and who doesn't seem to fully understand the strings he's attached to. And then Arcadia. A beautiful new haven atop an arena with a platform with shackles in the ground.

[ The dots are easy enough to join. He's fairly confident none of them need convincing at this point that there's something More going on here than Fantastic trying to help the poor, misunderstood Starfallen. ]

The Battlements consider the Starfallen to be the greatest threat to their path that they've faced to date. They're the first problem they haven't been able to solve with a quick murder or spell, and the most powerful group of metas the world has seen in two generations. [ Thanks Frances. ] That's a lot of power to have conveniently gathered in one place if you were looking to either extinguish or reap it.

To those of you still in Arcadia, I urge you to leave immediately. There are places you can find refuge - if you need help, leave first and then reach out. I'll do what I can to link you to someone who can assist you.

To those of you who read this and believe it, Starfallen or no: be ready. This won't be over easily. Those of us who can oppose, must.



[ He'll be available for a while on OurPowers directly after the post, and after that will check in every now and then from random locations across the States in case of any requests for help or questions being asked. He'll be more regularly available on WOM.bat.

OOCly, the sources for this info are here and here for more context! ]

[ Would you look at that, it's Dr. Strange. He's dressed in his trusty blue uniform robes in an effort to look like somebody who knows what he's talking about, and the Cloak hovers in the background just over his right shoulder to add some additional authenticity. Those who were inside it recently might recognise the drawing room of a certain house, looking a little less moth-eaten than the last time it was overrun with metas, save for a couple of lingering dust sheets and the ominously dark corner where burning amber symbols sear into the black. ]

My name is Dr. Stephen Strange. I'd like to issue a reminder to those of you unfamiliar with it that magic is not a toy, or to be used lightly by those with minimal experience.

If you come across a magical artifact, relinquish it to somebody who knows what they're doing. If you notice something that might be a spell scribbled on a stall wall, do not start reading it aloud. Magic may be more accessible here than in some worlds, but that doesn't make it any safer to interact with untrained. If you don't understand it, leave it alone or speak to someone who does.

If you have questions or run into problems that you believe to be of a magical, mystical or otherwise arcane nature and you don't have a sorcerer on speed dial, you can contact me at this account.

Be safe, be sensible, and if you're interested in magic do yourself a favor and read some theory before you attempt to practice.

[ And with that, he cuts the feed. This has been a public service announcement / mild self-promotion brought to you by his endeavour to magically spring clean this accursed house. Please do magic responsibly. ]
