History

2018

• May. Rutile arrives in Aifaran in a whirl of emotion leftover from Phos's actions just before Rutile's snatching by the Dreaming. After getting off on the wrong foot with the Sentry and some other Dreamfolk, they discover that Padparadscha is alive and well. They are temporarily relieved.

 

• June. Their relief is short-lived. At first Rutile is excited to be in Aifaran, away from the Lunarians and Phos and with Padparadscha again at their side, but it quickly becomes clear that Rutile has some trouble adjusting. The Sentry is still not fond of them, and their lack of familiarity with Ioduanese customs inhibits their acclimation to society. A trip to the Opara Core sows the first seeds that Rutile is out of their depth. They spend much of their time alone, save for some interactions over the network, merely exploring the world and trying to redefine their place in it.

 

• July. Rutile's viral post on the Network and languid explorations of the City have helped them meet more of the Dreamfolk. Unfortunately, their interactions with Valdis, their inability to discover anything substantial about the Narrakra, and their continued lack of scientific competency have shattered their confidence. They are still aloof and insecure about their lack of a job, but have been distracted by a proposition of another Dreamfolk: to seek out the barrier and see what lies beyond it. As more and more conversations suggest that the barrier holds the answer to the mystery of the Narrakra, Rutile becomes more obsessed with this journey.

 

• August. Things in Aifaran are not as they seem. The Narrakra returns and Rutile spends their time trying to discover the significance of a strange stone they found on board. Later, Rutile and Aly set off for the barrier.
