<div class="infotable">
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/3TM1agf.png" style="float:right;" />
<p> Stormclouds darken the plains like the shadow of smoke, but there’s no mistaking it: there is blood in Drifter Bay. A series of incidents caused by impulsive individuals have sparked tensions between neighboring packs who were allies just seasons ago, and war is imminent. </p>
<h2>Backstory</h2>
<ul>
<li>Last winter, Inferni and Salsola banded together against old enemies in the Second Boreas Conflict. War strengthened the packs’ alliance, but official communication ceased during the summer, when peacetime reigned.</li>
<li>Inferni accuses Salsola of stealing a horse from Drifter Bay; the grievants are coldly turned away.
</li>
<li>Injured after an incident with a collapsed cabin, a panicked Virue is assaulted by O’Riley Eternity and infected with the Luperci virus.
</li>
<li>Enraged and determined to avenge Virue, Vesper attacks a young Salsolan uninvolved in the attack.
</li>
<li>The first casuality is discovered. All signs point to the perpetrator being Salsola’s second-in-command, Lokr Revlis... </li>
<li>Inferni and Salsola declare war.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Will This Work?</h2>
<p> Rather than publish a strict timeline of pre-defined events, we’re handing the reins over to you, dear players!
While the end of the plot is predetermined, the meat of this war will be developed and played out by members of the packs. Organize your own skirmishes and raid missions; suggest fun ideas to the leadership; plot your drama around your characters! Make your very own mark on ‘Souls history!
</p>
<p> To help with this, we have published a Discord channel for the war where players can offer suggestions and collaborate on threads! ;D DM one of the pack leaders for an invite!
</p>
<h2>Events</h2>
<ul>
<li>05 October: A Salsolan caravan returning from the pack's Portland Outpost is raided by Inferni members.
<ul><li><i>Sign-ups:</i> (SL) Misery, Neith; (IF) Redtooth, Briarblack, Fang</li></ul></li>
<li>13 October: When they refuse to divulge sensitive information about Inferni, a coyote is killed. Clan members give chase and find themselves led into a trap!
<ul><li><i>Sign-ups</i>: (SL) Salvia, Scorpius, Krios; (IF) Eire, Shikoba, Goliath</li></ul></li>
<li>25 October: <b>Battle of Drifter Bay</b>! Enemy forces clash in the no-man's-land between packs. The number of people interested in this event will determine the size and division of the groups. Sign-ups open: see below!</li>
<li>08 November: <b>Secret Event!</b> What's this? Look for sign-ups later! ;O</li>
<li><i>Got an idea?</i> Suggest an event to leadership!</li>
</ul>
<p>Player-made war events can be as minor as a group spar thread or expedition to find herbs, and as major as setting up an ambush in the mountains or arranging a raid on enemy supplies. We encourage using the Discord to collaborate! Once you have an idea, please post the following form:</p>[/html]
[html]
<p>We will approve the idea (or request changes) as quickly as we can! This thread will be constantly updated to reflect new events being added, and whether there are open slots still.</p>
<p> You have until <b>25 October</b> to submit your ideas, so get them in soon!</p>

Code:
[b]Description of Event[/b]: Self-explanatory. What do you have in mind?
[b]Event Date[/b]: What general date range works for this event? (E.g., a reconnaissance mission might make more sense early in the war; a major participant might be injured after a certain date and unable to do anything).
[b]Participants[/b]: Who is interested in participating in the event?
[b]Open Slots?[/b]: How many more participants are you looking for, if any?<p>We will approve the idea (or request changes) as quickly as we can! This thread will be constantly updated to reflect new events being added, and whether there are open slots still.</p>
