BlueSolution's Haven & Hearth Achievement Progress

Haven & Hearth

There is light, and you find yourself surrounded by a vast and dark forest, with a path ahead of you stretching far off into some distant greenery. All around you, the land draws heavy breaths of wind, carrying with it scents of pine, and earth, and age. You feel light, almost floating, and yet strangely also heavier than you have ever felt before. Centuries are everywhere around, and within you.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 12:42am

A Marriage of Light and Darkness

It has been said that certain primordial, mystical, dualities of the Deep Magic will not come undone until at the End of Ages, when Hearthling is the wolf of Hearthling, and all hope is lost. Are you a man or a woman, spirit? The path ahead demands a choice.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 12:42am

Wind & Fire

You burn in the fire for what seems like an eternity, in unbearable pain singing through every fibre of your body, convulsing in darkness and flame, and it is with relief that you then suddenly sense the quite different note of a cool breeze, somewhere high above and beyond the fire and the pain. The breeze grows softly stronger, soothing your charred skin, and cooling the rage around you. Before long, there is only the wind.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 12:48am

Quenching Thirst

You drink deep and greedily in full, dank, draughts, as visions of mist and Huldra dance within the theatre of your mind's eye. Only rarely have you, in hindsight, ever felt this thirsty, and having quenched that thirst now leaves you feeling unusually alive. For the briefest moment the road ahead seems clear.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 1:29am

New Land

A feeling of mixed excitement and trepidation comes over you as you stand here, by this edge between two lands, waiting to cross.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 1:53am

Treading Grass

A patch of grass brushes against your feet, touching them with dew and damp. It tickles, reminding you of childhood joys, as a smile radiates out across your lips, and further on and away toward a universe which you in this moment know could not know evil.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 12:56am

The Symbel

It is not every meal that feels like a grand banquet held in a well-lit Hall, in the company of Kings, to symphonies of blowing horns and roaring fires, flowing with mead, but this one does.

Unlocked 7 Nov @ 2:07am

Striking the Root

Well, that took some doing, but you finally managed to untangle those darn roots, and get that thing out of the ground. Now for what to make of it...

Unlocked 6 Nov @ 12:57am

Heart of the Woods

A slow, thumping, beat, pulsating with the age of the forest around you, reveals a Heart of the Wood over yonder.

Unlocked 7 Nov @ 2:23am

Ancient Windthrow

Sometime, in the great old beginnings, when the Old Gods were still young, free, and wild, a mighty tree did here come crashing down. Now there is only shade, and damp, and the slow decay of ages. You have found an Ancient Windthrow.

Unlocked 20 Nov @ 2:08am

Jotun Mussel

Cast out before you as if by some Jotun hand lies an entish Mussel, glittering in the sun, and tattling tales of secret treasure.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 1:23am

Clay Pit

A peculiar, slow, bubbling, combined with a light reek of moisture, decaying matter, and earth, reveals the unmistakable presence of a Clay Pit.

Unlocked 21 Nov @ 1:01am

Tarpit

A bubbling of muck, the coaly smell of pitch, and the sight of bones, whitening in the sun, tells of a natural Tarpit ahead.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 1:07am

Lilypad Lotus

A sweet scent on the wind, with notes of nectar, summer, and wild honey, is noticeable long before the floral glory of the Lilypad Lotus itself.

Unlocked 6 Nov @ 12:02am

Fragrance of Flowers

The air here carries a breath of sweet perfume, and you feel the fullness of life pulsating everywhere around you, draped in a note of divine simplicity.

Unlocked 20 Nov @ 1:55am

Monster in the Cellar

The darker corners of this place can be ominously frightening sometimes. There's that frantic clawing from within the walls, and just now you can swear that you saw something large, with ravenous red eyes, skulking in the pitch.

Unlocked 21 Nov @ 1:13am

Driving out the Darkness

The light rushes out into every nook and cranny around you, driving off shadows and darkness further into hidden recesses, and revealing ever new possibilities everywhere around you.

Unlocked 7 Nov @ 2:31am

Swan Lake

The spark of a soft tremor leaps across the fabric of reality, as a majestic apparition, in ghostly white, glides over waters yonder.

Unlocked 5 Nov @ 1:24am

Great Thingwall

Ancient custom holds that Hearthings may only be convened in those places noumenal where the Old Gods, in time before time, planted a mighty oak by a table of stone. A Thingwall stands before you, and you now heed its beck and call.

Unlocked 21 Nov @ 1:17am

Conversant Boulder

An eerie feeling creeps over you as it slowly begins to dawn on you that the personage you have been searching for is none other than that old boulder now lying supinely before you, counting clouds, stars, and years. You can hear its whisper everywhere around you.
