okay! well, after memoria because the dragons vanished (as instructed by their higher-ups in their social structure) due to what the otherworlders saw.
sunsнine33 minutes ago
memoria itself was a big no-no. but the fact the otherworlders saw that it was also an experiment and who was involved (being, the red dragon, and a version of the world-eater) caused quite a ruckus.

once the dragons left, the havens started to fall into decline

weather patterns went erratic - places that never saw rain would see it, it would see more, etc - and then food began to spoil. drought.
sunsнine31 minutes ago
after that, individual places started to see ranging disasters; for example, cocoon fell on the steppe and storybrooke outright disappeared (with its inhabitants cursed again)
sunsнine30 minutes ago
the havens began to die. the balance they've always had - the means to stay in a peacable state, a good state - vanished with the dragons.
sunsнine29 minutes ago
not only is it an experiment, but its entire state of being is dependant on its guardians (such as einar, for the sea) and creators (such as tiamat, for life, and druaga, for death).
sunsнine28 minutes ago
obviously there would come a point of helplessness. everything would be collapsing around the PCs and there would be no way forward.

that's when serah got her vision; her vision was that the barriers had cracked (since you couldn't go off the edges of the map before), and where to go to find the dragons.
sunsнine27 minutes ago
she also saw what would happen if they did nothing, so, an alternate timeline where they never found the dragons.
sunsнine26 minutes ago
or... more specifically, serah saw where the dragons were but not the route. the mini-plot with the clayr (which was only a week long, so understandably is not yet finished)-
sunsнine25 minutes ago
-was about them seeing serah's importance and coming along to help her figure out where she'd have to lead them.
sunsнine25 minutes ago
anyway, back to the dragons
sunsнine24 minutes ago
there are a number of reasons the havens have failed - it was time, the lost's actions, memoria, otherworlders learning its experimental status - so, as a failure, it will be destroyed by ourobos.

Yes THANK YOU! The bits that thread it all together is what I was missing. (URG RL sucked for a while there) Things make more sense now!! <3

it's sort of like a countdown. the imbalance woke him up, when he's actually awake he'll rip it to shreds... that kind of thing.
sunsнine22 minutes ago
most of it is in serah's conversation with tiamat, as you say! we wanted to get that thread done before the event went live purely because it's so consequential to what happens next, it's the pay off for-
sunsнine21 minutes ago
-a lot of stuff we've been leading up to really
sunsнine21 minutes ago
np! c: glad it makes more sense now! if you have any other questions just toss 'em my way

Makes sense!

I assume, that since the havens will be destroyed, so will the settings be? Like they won't get sent home like the outsiders do?
sunsнine3 minutes ago
they will and they won't. the people will go home. the settings will, but they're more like a duplication of the original.
sunsнine2 minutes ago
but they will too be destroyed. everything will go back to the way it was before the dragons intervened. no more dragon sightings in worlds, no more dragons taking people and places to paradise.
sunsнine2 minutes ago
everything fixed but forgotten as well
