Main page for Once More, With Feeling!

Several of the party met in Nexus. Which was then Soulbreaker nuked 14 times come nightfall (see Wonders of the Lost Age for details on Soul Breaker Orbs). The Mask of Winters had invaded the city via surprise nuking and then marched an army in to claim what was left. This prompted several battles between various PC's a the three listed NPC deathknights and their legions. Anshu killed the ghostblooded leader of one of those legions only to have her exalt as one of the Solars who died during the fighting (NPC: Ta'an Aesin).

The group was eventually forced from the Shadowland that was Nexus, pulling what refugees they could with them onto a giant river barge which Salamander made fly. Rapidly leaving Nexus behind us Salamander again used sorcery to pull us back into Creation and set course for Great Forks.

Arriving at Great Forks there was some yelling with a Godblooded Hawk Rider and then some marital problems between Solitary Talon and her new Lunar mate Venomous Dragon Empress (VDE) (NPC). Mainly VDE wanting to have a marriage and Solitary Talon balking due to the fact that (a) she loves Ta'an Aesin and her lunar mate Silveria Arc and (b) this wedding, like her mate appeared very suddenly with no input from her.

Then one of the masks deathknight appeared killing Cael's mate and Ziyad's friend Shofei. This drove both characters berserk and they hunted him to the wedding where Cael nearly ate his heart, stopping at the last minute. In the end Ziyad executed him. Ziyad met his Lunar mates, Solitary Talon and Venomous Dragon Empresses wedding got called off and Cael met his new solar mate Starcc Antonee, the Adamant Man. Now people are aiming to reason with the Three over the coming battle approaching Nexus with the Mask of Winter's armies.

After that, there was a brief duel between Nuwa and one of the Mask's deathknights, Evocation of the Twelve Fallen Beasts (Evocation) with others joining in after a bit. Eventually the Abyssal realized that he was tired and outnumbered and returned to the Underworld. Another bondpair, Invisible Crow Hunter and Corvid Rasp, then showed up. Five of the circle are now taking part in a raid on Juggernaut, aided by Solar Circle Sorcery, while the others are departing Great Forks for Denandsor, the Empty City.

After the raiders returned from their successful mission, the grand circle set off for Denandsor; it was a long march, but finally they arrived, and were greeted by other Exalts who happened to be in the area. All have agreed to join forces and begun exploring the Empty City, but a pair of Infernals are already there...
