{ canon update }


CANON UPDATEThe waiting time to update to new materials is two weeks and there are two ways for a character to canon update.

  1. Via Dream. Similar to a memory regain, characters can have a dream detailing the new things their original self is experiencing. Everything will feel as if they had also experienced it and if there were any physical changes, they will also occur. This is probably the simplest way as it's just one long dream and they'll wake up the next morning feeling a bit strange. After all, they just got a load of information dumped into them.

  2. Returning home. Thanks to dreamotion energy, a character can be sent back home either involuntarily or voluntarily. If involuntary, then nothing really needs to be done, they just randomly disappear. If voluntary, then the character can use 3 regain baubles at the Wishing Well as a return ticket to their original self with a guaranteed return back to Songerein. So it's possible for them to use the bauble to make a "quick trip" back to their world and then be pulled back in. Regardless of the method, the characters won't really remember much of Songerein while they're gone but they will remember everything upon returning to Songerein. The character can be "gone" for up to three days. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • Time lapse. Time is shenanigans and time will pass much more slowly in Songerein than it does in their world. Even if more than a year passes in their world, the character will only be "gone" for up to three days.

    • Memories. With this option the characters won't really remember much of Songerein while they're gone but will remember everything upon returning to Songerein. They can feel as if they saw glimpses of vague things from Songerein, even recurring themes, but nothing that would make them think more than, "Well that was a weird dream." Of course when they return to Songerein, they will realize those glimpses were related to the world.

In both cases it is possible for characters to obtain new clothes or items they may have acquired during the update. These can be included in the canon update, however it's limited to what they have on their person. Anything else would have be to regained normally

Now just fill out the form and comment to this entry. It's highly advised you include the new canon updated information somewhere in your journal for reference.



Your canon update should be processed within 48 hours, but if you don't hear back within that timeframe please send a PM to the mod journal or ping us on Discord!
