This TP is already begun as a result of the harsh winter TP, and goes on coinciding with it, and will likely go beyond it as well.
Strange powers are beginning to awaken in certain animals of the forest. Age, gender, and species do not matter. Some are simply sensitive to the voices of the forest, which some say are echoes of the voices of the gods. Prophets, seers, visionaries, and dreamers are feeling their oddities growing more and more potent, receiving visions and portents that are at times strange, violent, terrifying, calm, helpful, or just plain gibberish. Anyone with a slightly more "spiritual" character is encouraged to take part in this, but mind it won't be a peaceful event; these dreams are invasive and annoying more often than not, and there is very little friends and family can do to help them discover what they're actually seeing. But the most common thread is that these dreams try to tell their hearers something important, generally of darkness coming, or the dead giving warnings about a "shift in the balance." Whatever the truth is, something incredibly important has happened in the world and it is beginning to affect the forest.
Most notably anyone with these qualities finds themselves drawn to others with similar abilities.
Some strange creatures have appeared as well. A prophetic raven that offers inane riddles, the meanings of which only come about much later, a mysterious stag that claims to know the forests better than anyone, to the point where he will tell you about even yourself, your faults and strengths, and how much you have fallen short of expectations. Whose expectations these are, he refuses to say. Other weird happenings like ghosts and unexpectedly seeing dead or long lost relatives are becoming more common, but these events are always quick and quiet, on the edge of perception.
Most terrifying of all is rumors of a gigantic grizzly bear terrorizing the edges of the forest, killing at will anything in his reach... and coming closer with each passing day.
If anyone has questions about this TP, wishes to take part or figure out how they can RP these events, feel free to post here, or page/mail Shag the wolf or Bramble the squirrel on the MUCK!
