Within moments of the yawn, Andi crumples to the ground, unconscious. Nina immediately kneels down next to her to see what's wrong. As she is checking on Andi, Hammer and Fenz are the next to fall unconscious. She looks up at Qwyn, horrified. The next to fall is Bade, and before she can say anything, Nina is the next to become unconscious. Whatever effect is in the room hits Syl next, with Brenn catching her before she hits the ground. He carefully lowers her to the floor. Then, realizing that he too is being affected, mutters quietly, "Aw, chuffex," and passes out next to his wife.
This leaves Qwyn and Janceel. The effect overcomes Qwyn's paladin aura, and Janceel and IDA watch him fall. It takes another moment, but Janceel, too, is affected.
IDA is the only to remain unaffected.
EVERYONE:
When you "wake up", you find yourself in another reality. You have all your memories of your own life, but as you look around your surroundings, you realize you have memories of this reality, too.
In this place, when the Mage Wars happened nearly 700 years ago, it was not Rein and a group of Wizards who ended the war. It was Beta. The High-Archmage released Beta onto the world, and Beta "ate" every wizard he could find. Then, over the years, to feed his appetite, he sought out every magical person, creature and item he could find. The magic of the gods became extremely limited. EX: Abriel, the god of light and order, only has access to Sun and Law; Akkadey, the god of storms, only has access to Weather.
The land here is broken up into Provinces instead of Magedoms.
Codiak Province - The northern most province, encompassing the lands you all know as the Maplewood and Rein Magedoms.
Phaon Province - The lands between Codiak and the Wastelands.
Vym Province - The lands you would know as the Erickson and Broone Magedoms
Dharme Province - The lands south of the Wastelands, going down to the the Great Chasm, more or less the same as the Dharme Magedom.
QWYN
You find yourself as the High Paladin of Abriel in the city of Codiak. As you try to orient yourself in your modest rooms in the temple, you hear a knocking at the door. It is Lord Codiak's personal messenger and he is telling you that Lord Codiak has summoned you.
JANCEEL
This seems all very familiar, and not all that different from your real life. You are in the Thieves' Guild, of which you are the leader. But the city of Ermangarde is a darker place than you have ever known it to be.
BRENN & SYL
There is much familiarity in this scene for the two of you, as well. Syl, you are a famous performer and Brenn owns a butcher shop. But instead of being in Port Tylor, you are in the Elven capital. Syl, as a priestess of Edaros, you only has access to the Animal sphere.
NINA
Nina finds herself in Kyrvale, the town she was born in. There she is the proprietor of a jewelry shop.
BADE
You find yourself in the city of Rivenway. It is located on the shores of where the northern river meets the lake. (In your reality, Rivenway was destroyed during the years that Rein was trying to bring peace and the town of Riven was built further inland, along the river.) In Rivenway, you have your own business, doing what you do best.
HAMMER
You find yourself in the city of Iron Harbor. There you run the local weapon shop and teach at the fighter's academy.
FENZ
You find yourself on a ship. This is a trading ship that runs goods along the eastern coast. It's range goes from the elven lands all the way south to the Dharme Province. Currently, the ship is heading north to the Elven lands. Weather permitting, you should arrive in about 2 days.
ANDI
Andi is in the town of Wellden. (Known as Yannis in your reality.) There she is a high priestess of Gwendrae and has access only to divination spells.
