Everything

Ever since the decision in 2006 to no longer classify Pluto as a true planet, the Celestine has been in decline. While the dwarf planet still gains the admiration and discussion of the world, the loss of true planet status has drained its ego and energy. This decline has radiated out into all his spirits, causing them to act erratically. Meros is the most affected, being so closely connected to the Celestine. When Meros left his realm in the Aetherial, many supposed the wanderer was on one of his many sojourns. But, after eight years of absence many spirits suspect he isn’t coming back. Spirits of the Wyld have moved into Meros’s realm, causing mischief and chaos — and they are encroaching on the nearby realm of Shantar, Incarna of Neptune.

Spirits all across the Aetherial Realm are in an uproar about Meros’s apparent abandonment of his duties. It is all they can talk about, and some are refusing to help or do any­ thing themselves from the perceived slight. The most affected by this abandonment is Shantar, who is now dealing with Wyld spirits causing trouble in her domain. Shantar needs help, but what she really needs is for Meros to return. She has sent her spirit minions all across the Umbra looking for anyone who will lend her aid. The characters have come to her in response to this request. She believes Meros retreated into the Deep Umbra, walking its expansive reaches and has yet to return. The character must travel into the Deep Umbra to find Meros, explain the situation in his realm and neighboring ones, and convince him to return to his post.
