Marvel (Draft)

A marvel is a wonderous structure that heralds the end of the world.

Acquisition

All Marvels are equally massive undertakings. The process for starting one is very similar to the quest that is undertaken to secure a R8 realm.

First, you must get your hands on a rare item called Eldrich Plans. The drop rate is low, and the drop conditions are mysterious. If you find these plans, you potentially hold the fate of the world in your hands. Your concious may beg you to destroy them, or you may hope to sell them and change your life in the vain hope the buyer will never be able to construct it.

If you are the ruler of a realm, you may double click the Eldrich Plans to begin construction. Upon doing so, your tree of life is converted to a construction site. The entire server and external Discord community will be notified of this event, and your city will immediately be cursed by Nandramiel's Rebuke. While this effect is active, no spires may be activated, and all city assets are reduced to 50% of their normal health. Until construction is complete, you may place no banes. In fact, people who disagree with your actions are likely to try and bane you.

In order to complete the Marvel, you must rank it to rank 7. Each rank takes two full days, for a total of 14 days total construction time. The upgrade costs are extremely high, and each week that transpires during the Marvel's construction will require inordinate amounts of resources. Protesters are encouraged to go after the constructor's farmers to delay construction because each additional day will increase its overall cost.

If you manage to pass the hurdles above, you will enter the final phase. Your Marvel is complete, and for one week, you are free to enjoy the fruits of your labor before an inevitable apocalypse. Each guild charter has a different ending scenario, some more tragic than others.

List of Marvels

Confluence of the Wild (Amazon Temple)
