Brigid of Amber

Regrettably, the End

That wasn’t the end of the campaign: I was able to attend a couple of sessions much later, when the Big Bad Menace was finally showing itself. To confront it, the children of Amber (our characters) were sent off to battle its attacking forces while the Elders remained in Amber to confront it directly.

The player characters diverted the forces into a Shadow of our own control and mustered whatever forces we have at our disposal: Brigid Patterned in an assault space fighter and let her daughters Rowan and Rhiannon pilot it while she mustered the Wild Hunt and as much of Faerie as could be summoned: she rode at point with her father the Seelie King on her left and her uncle the Unseelie King at her right.

Meanwhile, the Elders closed off Castle Amber. Fiona sent a message to Brigid explaining what they were doing. They were all going to sacrifice their immortality to combat the Menace, and closed off the Castle to prevent anyone from stopping them

That shattered Brigid’s world. Coming from a place where she knew she was going to outlive most everyone she knew, if she survived being a superhero and all, and finding a place where everyone would share a similar lifespan, she found a home where she never would have to worry about losing family through age.

The aftermath wasn’t examined, but I knew what Brigid would do. Some time in the past she was given the responsibility over the Forest of Arden, so she would have retreated there, to wait out the deaths of her mother (but whom she never found out) and the rest of the Elders, staying in the distance places of the forest, appearing only when needed. Arden itself would become a Fae place, where the innocent could walk from end to end and never be harmed, but woe to any who entered with darkness in their hearts.
