I'm new, so I don't understand all of the threads, but this is what I have so far:

The crows have some important information.

The Cypher is a BIG device used to translate animal languages

Their are three powers, Claaws, Fins, and Wings.

The Animals Guild/Club/thingy's mission is to destroy the Cypher (or steal it or something)

There are a lot of characters and side threads

That's it so far.......

I have a character, Summer the dragon. She's been summoned by a prophesy to destroy the Cypher and is looking for a place to join in. 

Okay, more long-overdue updating! I'll do a quick recap of the Underwater Ball thread, and then if I can I'll try summarizing the Aslahari thread, which the story continues onto.

So, there's a fancy cowboy-themed underwater ball happening off the east coast of Kyngdom, and nearly everyone is there, including Claaws, Caelani, Ecio, and Blazing Star, Guardian of the Power of Hoof, because the Guardian of the Power of Fin is to be announced there. But the punch is spiked with Brazen Goo, which affects guests in different ways, and the ice sculpture of Finny, the prime candidate for Guardian, is real. Blazing Star runs at the threat of her Power being stolen, and Laya, a being trapped in the body of a fox, types a code into the keypad at the ice sculpture's base, shattering it and freeing Finny. Icy then sets off an underwater firework that breaks the dome surrounding the ball just as Catastrophe shows up, effectively ending the ball. Everyone makes it out okay, but in the confusion, the Power of Fin is stolen and Finny disappears. It's not clear where either of them go. 

The air-breathers manage to put together at least one makeshift raft from floating debris, and spend two days there, accidentally going away from land. On the second evening, Jaaws shows up, and she and Claaws battle in the stormy sky that gathers. Claaws loses, turns back into an instrument, and falls to the bottom of a deep underwater chasm. Jaaws flies off, and the night and most of a day pass before Laria spots a B.I.G. research ship. We all get on the ship to avoid being pulled through its propellers, and another night and day pass. In the middle of the second night, Ronan gets attacked by a girl named Marsha Yearwood, and then Whist shows up with a huge flock of possessed birds and kidnaps him. Initial rescue attempts fail, but Caelani follows the birds to an abandoned inn in a tiny fishing town and watches as Catastrophe removes Ronan's shadow, and then reveals himself, only to get his own shadow removed as well.

Meanwhile, the ship has crashed on a reef, and we've made a small temporary alliance with B.I.G. and take the lifeboats to land near the Hardswallow River, where Jaaws went after her battle with Claaws. But we don't run into her. Instead, we make camp and receive a radio signal from Aslahari saying that they need our help; Catastrophe is there. Caelani and Ronan escape the inn and arrive at the camp just as we finish preparations. We set off, and my charrie Lycaella goes home to call backup and finds out that shadows can be sewn back on if the needle is made from the bone of a magic or mythic creature. The others make it to Aslahari, which is a battleground, and the thread ends with Jaaws being taken captive by sea dragons. 

That was surprisingly short. On to Aslahari!

Aslahari, the beautiful city, is a flourishing trade center in the Southern Deserts of Kyngdom. It is soon to be inspected by Catastrophe's army, however, and shadow, Icy and Mina (brainwashed into being a spy/general for Catastrophe named Ravage) escape the airship they've been on and end up there. Sienna greets them and brings them to her house, where she gives Mina/Ravage a potion that accidentally turns her into a shapeshifter, and shadow rests. She doesn't need much rest, though, and sneaks out and gets a crossbow when Mina/Ravage and Icy go to the market without her.

Octavia arrives to occupy the city using her horde of Scions, those giant mechanical bug things, and a terrible battle begins when Catastrophe shows up as well. It's huge and long, everyone fighting for their lives against at least one army. Icy and shadow get captured and are freed by Jake. But Icy gets kidnapped by a tree monster, and shadow is run down into an alley and shot by Mina/Ravage, who has revealed her loyalty to Catastrophe. Icy is freed, and Ronan arrives. Their side pulls out, leaving Catastrophe to rule the Southern deserts. shadow miraculously revives, sparing Ravage and flying away. 

Ronan and some others gather in a forest and activate Ayearth, the Power of Fin, but he is poisoned by Brazen Goo and comes out of his instrument mutated and evil, possessed by Jaaws. Fortunately, a short wizard appears and cures him with a spell. There is some minor tumult in Aslahari, but it settles down when Catastrophe makes an alliance with Octavia and Elliot. There the thread ends, continuing at least partially on The Aftermath Of....

Well, that's done. Now I just have to figure out what happened next.

I feel like a historian with some sort of writer's block. Ah, well. I'll try to keep this up if I can...

Just a note: It seems that each month in Kyngdom is about four months outside of it, so each month irl is 7.5 days in Kyngdom, and each week irl should cover 1.75 Kyngdom days, or 42 hours. So a full 24-hour day in our lives is about 6 hours in Kyngdom, and the time ratio in general is 4:1. This is based on the assumption that between early June 2016 and today, almost four months have passed in-story.

Of course, the irl time: Kyngdom time ratio isn't at all set and could actually be anywhere between 3.5:1 and 4.5:1. My suspicion is that it fluctuates.

A broad summary of events starting from December (September in-story):

With no one around to write for them, the Powers lost their place in the spotlight. The focus instead shifted to the Resistance and their Power-less war on Catastrophe. Ronan explained that the latter had discovered the tale of three ancient, powerful magic relics known as the Sword, the Shield and the Crown. With all three, he would be able to rule Kyngdom forever. But they must be collected in order. He took the Sword easily and set out for the Shield, attending a meeting with several Resistance members on the Oracle's flower in Eastern Kyngdom for a prophecy. A decoy was discovered and the flower burned. Catastrophe took the decoy, thinking it the real Shield, and set out for the Crown, which was in the possession of Queen of the Dolor Felis and Resistance General Mina. Catastrophe crashed an event she was attending and the whole thing turned into an all-night battle. It is unclear who won. 

Harbor Reinedela Mer (and I do hope I spelled that right) died, leaving behind an heir named Ocean. shadow returned to life, sans wings and on the agreement that she take the lives of five specific people or never enter the afterlife. Brynn, the Angel of Death, also died, and Alexandria turned out to have never died in the first place, escaping SOCS, dyeing her hair and taking the name Marie. Headmistress Rigga also died at the hands of Mina and her now-also-deceased friend (read: romantic partner) Baron, and the SOCS was largely if not entirely dissolved. The Elites discovered that elf magic, in sufficient quantities, may have an effect against Jaaws. One of my charries found a magically protected old house in Great Forest (or was it Secret Forest?), and a promising apprentice practitioner of magic from another world will be coming soon. 

The Resistance had a diplomatic meeting with Catastrophe and his officers, after which Mina drained the Crown's power into herself, and Alexandria/Marie took that power into herself, saying she knew how to control/safely dispose of it. Catastrophe was told that the Crown had been drained and that the Shield was being drained and now believes their power to be gone. The whereabouts of the true Shield are only known to Trixie W., a member of the Elites, and possibly her family.

Icy left with the/an Oracle to look for the Powers, and Caelani took Blazing Star's drum. Ayearth is possibly evil/possessed, and many Sideaffected Powers have allied with Catastrophe. I'm planning for one of my charries, Karune/Rose, to go insane and become an antagonist. Her sister died and she's ceased all support of the Resistance.

I'm sure I missed some stuff, and I definitely skipped over some details, but that's most of it as I remember.

I will try to write what happened after the diplomatic meeting.

The Ball of Stars began. Several Resistance members attended, some of which were Sprocket, Mina and Nygrune. Others who haven't been involved in a lot also attened, like Davina and Kimi.

So before the Ball, Mina and somehow Master Nova found out that the crown's !magic HAD NOT gone into Alexandria/Marie. Mina still had the Crown powee. Moonshadow, a wolf, now posses the Power of Howl. 

At the Ball, Master Nova forces the crown's magic out about of Mina and into Ocean. This causes Ocean to pass out, and Mina gets angry at Nova. Fortunately, Ocean awakes and is unharmed.

Later, when the stars align, Ocean climbs onto the roof and looks at them. When climbing off the roof, she falls, and magic golden dust rescues her. This is the Crown inside of her. Moonshadow is the only one to actually see this, but Nygrune feels the powerful magic...somehow.

For a short bit, things are relatively peaceful, but then Master Nova drags Mina into the ladies room. Nova calls Mina an obstacle, and says Kyngdom will only be at peace if Nova ruled it. This causes a fight. Mina is stabbed several times, and kills Nova without meaning to. Mina is aghast, and Ocean walks into the restroom...And screams.

Davina, and Moonshadow hear the scream. They are the first to get there, followed by Iyana, Mitchell, Sprocket, and Kristjan. 

Davina looks at the scene, throws up, and realized that Mina had murdered Nova. Moonshadow is distraught. Sprocket grabs Mina, and they have a talk outside the bathroom. Sprocket is worried about Mina. Davina eavesdrops on them, without realizing that sprocket was reading her mind and knew. 

At the same time, Nygrune comes to the rescue of Ocean. He leads her away and comfort her. Davina offers to help Mina because the blood is attracting a crowd. Mina refuses, even though Sprocket and Davina insist.

Mina storms away from them. Sprockey and Davina agree they must help Mina. They turn to help her, and watch as Ocean heals Mina using the crown's power. 

We haven't roleplayed past that.
