I.
You're not sure how long you must have been asleep for. Did you even remember falling asleep at all? It was more like you blinked. You were in the middle of something not but seconds ago, weren't you? So then, where was this place? The speckling colors of light that filtered through stained glass windows might've been some clue, but you're certain you've never seen a church like this before. It seems old, with overgrowth along the floor and holes in the ceiling.

You sit up in the pews at last to discover you're not alone.

Seems you're not the only one to have a weird day, at least? Or, hey, maybe one of them might know what's going on! Time to start asking questions, at least.
II.
Ding! A notification from your PDA. Though, it's strange, the sender isn't listed at all. The only thing it says is "the quest board has been updated", with a convenient picture of said quest board attached. Though it wasn't exactly cleared of previous papers that were tacked on it, a new bright green paper catches the eye instantly.

Help clear Viasna of debris.

Reasonable enough, right? After all, Viasna could really use the help. However, doing so by hand is immensely dangerous, since most of the buildings are ready to collapse at a moment's notice. Hope you brought a helmet!
III.
Festivals are all well and good. Fun for many, even. There are always fun quirks to every holiday or event, like, say, carving pumpkins. The cities here are no different, as all the homes around here seem to have carved pumpkins on their doorsteps. It would be charming, if there weren't one problem: they're all pretty rotten, and starting to smell just terrible.

The obvious solution is to start throwing them away. In theory, it would work. In practice? Well, the pumpkins aren't very happy about it. They still think they're cute! Trying to get near one will just cause it to bite you and do it's very best to try and roll away.
IV.
Winter is fast approaching this corner of Lyroa, and yet, for some reason, the ocean just outside of Zima seems to be less frozen over than usual. What is normally a fairly steady walk for ice is now a very risky trek, with the ice constantly threatening to break beneath you with the warning sounds of cracking. Ice floes have begun forming and bumping into each other. Perhaps the most alarming are the ships that usually sit atop the ice are beginning to slip and creak into the water. What's even more unsettling is you swear you can hear it screaming as it slips into the water. Is that how it's supposed to sound?

Investigations of these ships are not recommended, of course. After all, you'd risk yourself being caught between the ice floes. But for those of you simply too curious or worried... well, don't be surprised when ghostly hands reach from the ship to try and pull you into the icy depths below.

TDM this time around will be game canon! We will also have an arrival thread for when the game actually starts, but feel free to use this as your character's "introduction" if you'd like!

Do keep in mind that the TDM is not game canon. This TDM is meant to throw you in the thick of things to get a feeling for the game, while we want characters actually in the world to have their arrival threads and such.
