Ok, sorry everyone for disappearing but I'm finally getting this show on the road. I will be the first Lens of our game and as such shall be declaring the first focus and getting this round started. It shall be "The Ancient Enemy"As the lens I also begin the creation of history this round and I also have the option to create something that's nested within something I create. I'm creating the Event during "The Enemy Reemerges" before the "Death of the Tavvish King" : The Ulaoh Empire breaks the ancient taboo (Dark) I'm also creating a scene within that event. "Why did the Ulaoh Empire break the Taboo?" The quiet of a modest office was broken as robed figure burst through the door. "I've seen your newest machine you monster! Do you have any clue what it is you're messing with?" he shrieked. "Ah, Baranabar my old friend. Still got your nose buried too deep in those books of your on ancient folk lore and fairy tales to see progress when it's staring you right in the face. A pity really." The calm voice belonged to a seated woman. "I'm just doing everything in my power to help the Empress, why must you be so upset?" Baranabar slammed a clawed fist down on the desk. "I wouldn't be upset if you were being honest with the people about what you're actually making, Essemus. That machine's breaking the ancient taboo, you've linked it to the other dimension to draw out engergy. Contact with the other dimension in any way is strictly forbidden and you've got the gall to create something seemingly innocent that's actually being powered by your lack of regard to our ancient laws!" A wicked grin split Essemus's smooth face. "Why, I don't know what your talking about Baranabar. I've just figured out some very efficient magic loops to par with non magic means to create simple machinery to improve our empire's agricultural production. Why, the Empress was ecstatic when I showed it to her and she looks forward to providing funding to create more. Within the year we'll have doubled yields in the areas closest to the capital." "You will Destroy us, Essemus. Though, not if I can talk some sense into the Empress. No matter what you showed her she must listen to reason. There is no easy road to restoring this empire's greatness. This path you tempt the Empress with will only lead to ruin." Baranabar stormed back out of the office and down the hall leaving behind the smiling Essemus. "Try all you want, but I will bring this country back into greatness, kicking and screaming if I have to. It's the so-called wisemen like you who hold us back from our destiny of greatness." Essemus whispered to herself as he left. Scenes aren't declared to be dark or light, we vote to decide what tone was. So when you create history make sure to also comment on the tone of the scene. Zejety you're up. Make us some history

Sorry, I'm not frequenting this site much and I forgot to check it daily over the course of the recent downtime!
Event: Essemus' machines exceed expectations and go into mass production. (light, for now)
FO's scene sounds dark to everybody with some genre-savyness. I assume the same could be said about my event but, eh.^^
Edit: Just realized this misses the focus a bit. Is it fine or should I come up with something else?

Okay, let's use this one instead; remember that my last post is not canon at all yet!
Event in The enemy re-emerges; between The Ulaoh Empire breaks the ancient taboo and Death of Tavvish King
During a parade to celebrate the newfound prestige of the Ulaoh Empire, a soldier goes berserk, killing 5 civilians before getting taken down. People suspect political motivations, but the man was truly under the influence of the Ancient Enemy.
(Dark)

I agree Fraa's scene seems dark to me. Also this game is harder for me than I'd anticipated BUT WE MAKE IT WORK
Scene: During A Soldier Goes Berserk How was this soldier influenced?
Kenjamin woke with the sun, rolling over in bed to face his still sleeping husband. It felt like it had been an eternity since the young officer had been assigned a job in his hometown, but the privilege of sleeping in his own bed with his love was bittersweet when he still had to prepare for the day before dear Lennos would wake.
With my next promotion, this will get better... Kenjamin told himself, although it burned that he couldn't share the news that he was in line for a new command. Everything was still unofficial, and if the gossip spread too far, all the hard work could be undone.
After a brisk walk back to his unit, Kenjamin stepped into his CO's office for their routine morning meeting. The day's assignment was meant to be easy, a basic security duty for the parade. Kenjamin never noticed anything off about his CO's demeanor, nor did he taste what was off about the tea.
Everything seemed routine about the day as the parade traveled by, until Kenjamin saw the world begin to melt around the borders of his field of vision, faces distorting. Everyone knew The Enemy of their fathers' tales was on the rise, but no one expected them in such numbers here, revealing their true identities in public.
Kenjamin fired into the crowd of civilians, a soldier doing his duty to protect the parade from The Enemy's threats.
Kenjamin was killed by his own brothers in arms, who could never understand why such an upstanding soldier would commit such an atrocity.
Kenjamin's stellar reputation died, distorted like his own perception. While the city ceremoniously buried the civilians a week later, no one suspected the CO of being an agent of the enemy, and no one ever checked his belongings for the hallucinogens he slipped into his favored patsy's morning tea.
