Beast Pathing News: Long Missing People come back?

"A strange phenomenon today happened out of the blue, as several thousands of NPCs started showing up around Beast Pathing with no memories as to how they got there. Some of these People in question having been missing between decades to over a century by in-game standards. While the Sudden influx of these new friends might have been a miracle, it is anything but; some have regarded the experience as a period of isolation and stillness; overwhelmed with the sense of dread and fear. Though most suffer from spontaneous insanity and aggression brought on by a strange confusion."

A scene of a lizard-man attacking a passerby by biting and scratching is played. Before it switches to a scene of a Victorian-Steampunk Psyche Ward.

'While their mental state is being closer observed, the implications of their arrival is baffling the experts at hand; as all of those that have 'arrived' were in the same physical state that they have gone missing, carrying with them the same items of clothing and retaining the memories of their time. Experts have yet to uncover the reason as to this, and the Developers of the game have not come through with a statement."

"The Public have now come to know these people as the "Wanderers""

Neo-Gen-News: Cat Burglar on the Loose?

"A lot of things have happened in Neo-Genis over the past few months, and just this past week, in the back alleys of code and programmed night skies, a silent terror might be arising..." A robotic Reporter lifts a mic up to her audio transmitter, as their facial display seems serious and dutiful. The background seems to be some sort of street view in front of an apartment complex.

Scene cuts to a sad looking cat-man, sniffling, tearing up. The voice over continues: "Mr. Julio Onricho had left their home on a hospital visit; onroute to their recently adopted child. When he got back to his apartment though, they had come home to the unexpected:"

 "Well, they took most things; a couple of trophies, some of my possessions, b-but, I just need to ask, Why? Why'd they take Ms. Cinnamon!?" The man starts crying. The camera angle switching to one from the balcony, overseeing the Reporter place a hand on the woman's shoulder. 

"Whoever they were, they had managed to slip by the Security systems made in place, and proceed with their criminal acts undetected. Taking items over the worth of $10000 and the life of an innocent familiar. This has set them back quite tremendously; as most of that money was going towards the child's expected surgery. Although now, with the water damages and apartment's security alarm being shattered, the costs could be too overwhelming..."

The scene switches to the street, the reporter gesturing their hands. "Now, the crime has been reported to the Marquis guild, although unfortunately, they are at a dead end, with only one lead. A calling card from said Burglar..."

"One could only wonder what other cruelties this criminal could present to the world. Although fortunately, there is a light at the end of this tunnel."

The scene cuts to what looks to be some sort of Neo-Genis Public Hospital. An executive wearing a trenchcoat and flatcap speaks to the camera with a smile, as the blurred background could be made out to be a figure of Yensid's Mascot taking a selfie with the child.  "Yensid World has seen this travesty, and have decided to generously loan Mr. Julio money for the damages done to their property, and all their stolen assets. Of course, even paying for his child's surgery..." 

-
"The Marquis are working tirelessly on this case, and are asking the public for any further information. Until further developments, this is Tita Nium, Neo-Gen News."

The beginning of the coalescence of Neo-Genis and Fromsoft?!

Neo-Tube

A player holding his camera like he is recording a vlog is speaking loudly

"YOOOO GUYS CHECK THIS OUT, IN ARCANIA THERES STARSCROUGE RADAHN, YOOO, THIS IS WILD, chat, yall think I can get a selfie with hi-"

The video is cut off as he is promptly burst into flames as a large purple flaming arrow hit him. One shotting him and sending him back to spawn.

Starscrouge Radahn - LV ??? Estimated to be 55+

A Game journalist writes an article about this boss...

STARSCROUGE RADAHN, OF NEO-GENIS

"Radahn wanders the edges of Arcania, being a wandering boss, those that encounter him will find they can run away, if they manages to survive his attack atleast. We recommend you avoid him at all cost, currently, it is assumed only the top players should engage him, AS A TEAM. To clear this boss may require a entire raid party consisting of the top players, maybe even NPC's."

"His current skillset is unknown, only that his bow can one shot level 20 players currently."

Another article is written...

Arcania Too Big?

"Hey everyone! its Roger! your daaiiiilllyyyy journalist about the current biome environment. I'm our readers here at Biome-ism, would love to learn about todays main topic! It's about the size of Arcania! Mainly, actually, about the appearance of another boss recently, STARSCROUGE RADAHN, can you imagine?! First they have a Erd tree sapling thats guarded by a Draconic Tree Sentinal of all bosses. Now they even have Starscrouge Radahn?! WILD absolutely wild. I wonder if Fromsoft is having some kind of collaboration with Neo-Genis? Is this allowed? The lack of update is really interesting too! There's been no official announcement yet!

From a Part-timer of yensid, working in yensid world...

New Mascot?

A video is following behind a part timer for yensid world. As it follows the part timer, he says "good evening everyone, players and npcs, guys and gals, pen and pals, so... I saw something interesting today... I saw a... lion? I don't really know, it was weird, had lightning dancing all around it. But when I approached it, it struck at me and nearly killed me, thank god I was in a safe zone... Does anyone recognize this beast?"

As he slowly pans the camera over, everyone is greeted with...

Divine Beast Dancing Lion - LV ??? Estimated to be 35+

Then, the comments starts flooding in...

InvulnerableBear - "YOOOO THATS THE DANCING LION DIVINE BEAST"

Luminous - "Interesting... Another Fromsoft boss appearing in Neo-genis, seems like something massive is happening"

TotallyAYensidEmployee - "Hey! I put that there! don't take my work!"

BehemothHunter - "Uh... huh... WAIT THATS ANOTHER BOSS, HELL YEA, FOUND MY NEXT RAID WOO-"

TrueTarnishedOne - "Nope, don't even think about it, yensid world is a literal minefield and i heard something about... a super explosive recently... >->"

...

As all of this goes one, all the players that were on at approximately, 7 PM, on a Saturday, witnesses something interesting... For a moment, what appears to be a Giant lion head appears, covering the sun only but for a brief moment. The entire skies, filled with darkness, as clouds brew, rain fall for a moment as if a legendary figure has fallen. The realm itself seems to weep before everything is set to normal. Many players chalk it up to a glitch, but a special few... has a ominous feeling. 

All hostile demonic, undead, draconic, and cursed knights, gain +2 levels and +1 increase to raw stats. +1 increase to damage, they acquire new looks, speaks a new language (language of the tarnished).

Leader of the writers guild, and famous author Sergeres Faltoma has just recently published a book covering all of his adventures in the Underway biome, and all the events that lead up to it now being safe for general adventures to explore. This has lead many people to flock to the Underway to see this biome for themselves. We are currently in talks to secure an exclusive interview with Faltoma as well as the caretaker of the Underway biome. With so many questions yet to be answered, what could be next?

---------------

"...so that's how the story ends..." The boy placed the book back on the shelf of the firmament library. He was careful to not damage it as he slid it into its spot. "Sad... I was hoping there would be more..." He sighed to himself, pulling his jacket closer to himself. Despite being inside, he still felt cold. He turned and headed out, back towards the front desk. It wasn't like he was going to check out any books anyway, he'd done enough reading. As he stepped outside, he raised his pale hand to his hat, adjusting it to block out the sun from his eyes, taking a few seconds to adjust to the light. He walked across the courtyard towards the entrance to the Underway. The place had become a lot safer now that the Delta Line dungeon was gone, even if not many people used it. He personally preferred it to just teleporting everywhere. It was nice, relaxing. As he walked down the steps to the platform, he quietly sat down on the bench to wait for the train to show up. It would be a while, having only one conductor didn't exactly make for the most efficient routes, but what could you do.

The boy glanced over at the platform number, Platform 11. A small smile crept over his face. "That's new..." He stands up and takes a few steps closer to the tracks. "I didn't think I'd see you here..." He clutches his side as he does, pain flaring through his whole body. "I guess... it had to die, huh... There was no way the Underground and the Underway could exist together, one would always end up overtaking the other." He winced, doing his best to fight through the pain. "That's okay though... the story of the Underground is over. Well, I guess it never exactly started... Funny how you can miss something that never fully existed..." The boy closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before straightening himself. In spite of the pain, he had something he needed to do.

The boy reached the edge of the platform and began to mimic the pose he had seen that conductor do many times. He extended his hand out sideways, his other hand going to the brim of his cap. "The train will be arriving soon, please wait for the train to come to a full stop before boarding." He stood there in silence for a moment afterwards before far in the distance, the sound of a steam whistle could be heard.

"...he hehe... guess I still have a few rounds left in me, isn't that right old friend..." He looked up at the platform 11 sign almost reverently.

"Take care of her, okay? Just like you did for me..." The boy said as he reached into his pocket,

his hand holding firmly around the golden train ticket that sat inside.

St. Hopkins Expands Services to Include Trauma Mending!

With the brand new addition of Dr. Egon Watson, St. Hopkins Hospital is getting a big jump in serviceability for players in Neo-Genis! He brings to the table vast experience in clinical therapy for those that just need someone to talk to concerning their woes and worries, as well as a much needed magical means to make those mental macabre miseries meander from the minds of the masses with his mild mannered musings.

Along with the new clinical psychology wing comes he recently moved and expanded long term stay wing which was unveiled as the "Ianthe Corridor", an extended research wing for the development of cures and future treatments, and rooms for several larger pieces of complex medical equipment meant to offer a wider range of clinical testing for patients.

But St. Hopkins isn't done there! We reached out for comments and were told that the Hospital was only in the beginning stages of growth. So stick around to see just how far Neo-Genis' newest medical facility will go!

Sightings of a Budding Grand Caravan

Story Investigated By The Pigeon

Outside of the bounds of the Player Hub, a strange sight can be seen following a wagon pulled by a flying carpet. Floating golden lights, glinting in the sun, and occasionally crashing down to earth. Despite being a moving location, this caravan appears to be a biome of it's very own according to the Neo-GENIS systems.

Our reporter Jain spoke to the owner of this caravan on the scene:

"My name is Isaac, and I'm just your average guy." A humble introduction for a jack-of-all-trades such as him. "I've always wanted to explore the world, but I've never known how to do that on a larger scale. After I was gifted this wagon from a close friend, however, I decided to put it up to good use."

"My dream is to see as much of the world as I can, all the strange and unique things it has to offer, and to invite some of them into the caravan to continue this journey together."

The Grand Caravan's journey is only just beginning, but our reporter will do follow this story as it develops.

NEW BIOME - The Grand Caravan. A moving biome following Isaac's Wagon.

Region Monster Data -

New! Glitterwing Helmcrabs - lv. 2

A broad-shouldered lion-man searching for unusual plant specimens. He offers rewards for new and unique botanical specimens from undiscovered environments.

Beast Pathing Update: Steampunk Cowboys

NEWS LETTER:

Beast Pathing has gone through quite the advancement over the past year; with this new Era of Peace Established by Marshall Of the North, Wrangler, the newfound hope in Christmas found by Father Jebediah, and the resolved plague by the newest Deputy of the West, Soppy The Waterslinger, prosperity was a definite result that would eventually become. This was a promise that most NPC experts around Beast Pathing would have presumed to come over the next coming Updates, however, by the kind actions done by multiple players, Beast Pathing has not only found such prosperity, but the promise of so much more:

A recent influx of metal coming in from the city of Blueberry, and the just-recently explored Blueprints from the Belarus Mining Company, advancements in Industrial Revolution have increased Tenfold, leading most towns to advance in a somewhat unprecedented rate into Larger, much more advanced cities. While most are concerned with the moral implications of granting a Victorian Era Populace access to advanced technology too soon, it's mostly fallen on deaf ears as the rewards are too great to pass up. This, all praise given, to a Player named "Temperance"

Over the course of just a few months, the town of BlueBerry's humble beginnings as a simple Hunting and Mining town was changed to the base of operations for a couple of eager Players: whom not only provided the town with an overwhelming flow of money, but advancements in Arms and Economy. This resulted in the influx of greater, more inspired migrations of both Player and NPCs, adding to what is now called BlueBerry City.

BLUEBERRY BEFORE and AFTER


With the Advancement of BlueBerry City as to now the richest city in all of Beast Pathing, it's technology is mostly being shared amongst the trading ports, and stations, now made openly available due to the assistance of the Deputy of the West: Soppy The Water Slinger, and the protection of the Militia Group, The Blacklist. The town of Christmas, now back to a place of faith have inspired the new influx into their flock, boosting the morale in this new era of Peace.

And now with the tremendous mineral wealth of provided by all this, and the Advancement of technology from Temperance: Beast Pathing has met the requirement for Industrial Revolution: The only question on everybody's mind right now is: What fascinating improvements do we have in store now?

UPDATE AS A RESULT OF PLAYER INTERFERANCE:

• The Wrangler, and The Blacklist: 
  With the Era of Peace, and the Crime drastically diminished, the populace were free to advance in their ways unimpeded by major physical crime. Law had come to the West. Laws are much more enforced, and Crime is Lowered. Criminal Underworld and Corruption threats has now been included.
  
  
• Father Jebediah, and The Church:
  With the crime lowered, the insistence on Faith grew passively, only made more grander by the reestablishing of the Church in a Main Trading Station: Christmas. Faith and Hope had been restored to Beast Pathing. Populace will grow and Naturalism will persist. Religious Factions and Dark Magic/Rituals has now been included.
  
  
• Soppy and The Railway:
  With the connected Railway lines, and the threat of disease gone, Trading around Beast Pathing was made even more efficient, ensuring greater migrations and money to flow. Cities and Towns had been connected. More means of Transport, and cheaper goods; hunger and disease has been lowered. Wealth disparity and Social Class has now been updated. 
  
  

Temperance and The Mines:
A spark of new technology, and the growth of more wealth led to the widespread phenomenon of Steam-Powered devices and economies. Prosperity and Production had come to Beast Pathing. Advancement of Technology has progressed to a Fantasy Steampunk Era. Beast Pathing is now under threat of Environmental destabilization (Deforestation and Air Pollution, etc)

Verdigris Ruins showcasing some activity?

Notice regarding Verdigris Vanguard lore expeditions

As a Archeolgist, I've recently noticed that there has been a strange event happening near one of the more ancient VV Ruins, where one of the inactive golems became active, though it seems to be immobile. No players seem to have been nearby around the time the Golem would've been activated, and the TP logs in the area show that no one just popped in, activated it, and popped out, but there WAS signs that people were there. NPC interactions could probably explain why this Golem activated on its own, but that doesn't help with explaining the fact that the Golem seems to be powering other parts of the ruins, and the appearance of some weird enemy knight npcs....

Hopefully this doesn't delay any research on the Verdigris Vanguard, their lore seems to be really interesting in regards to the older parts of the history of Neo Geneis!

NIGHTLY NEWS CHANNEL: Is... Brandon Wesley, Nocturn?

"HAHAHA, that's right Jim- Puppies should be allowed to legally fly planes..." A beautiful Anchor woman smiles at the camera with grace, but then suddenly goes stoically deadpan as they switch the story:

"In other news: Billionaire, Philanthropist and Mental Health Advocate for Autism and ADHD. Brandon Wesley has released a statement tonight in regards to the massive movement of funds towards the Night City Bank. Having called up a press meeting, they not only addressed the concerns of the public, but also released a statement:" 

LIVE FOOTAGE: Provided by NNC Reporter: Jane Janey Janieson
Mr Wesley stands at the top of the stairs leading up to the NC-Bank, surrounded by what looks to be a few Officials of the City, the Chief of Police, and of course the masked vigilante: Nocturne. The Press at the base of the steps flash their cameras and hold up mic-booms towards them, anticipating a break in their statements to ask questions. Finally, Mr. Wesley steps up behind the podium, taking a deep breath before they gesture towards the Masked Vigilante.


“This is Nocturne... He is my best friend and we are totally not the same person. I am helping fund his vigilance of the city, because this city needs Justice! Brandon Wesley out!” He says to the crowd, to which is met with an overbearingly loud silence, broken only by a random cough. It would have been convincing, it if were not said in an awkward manner- and not using the same exact deep gruff voice Nocturne usually swears by.

"Wait... Seriously!?" A random man cries out from the background, the footage cuts back to the studio.
                                                                 

"Night City is currently up in arms in the recent rumors flying about: A big debate whether or not Nocturne is actually being funded by Brandon Wesley, or, they are just Brandon Wesley, cosplaying a bat, beating the ever living crime out of Criminals. On the Ground, now, interviewing the opposition is Parke Peter. Parke Peter?"

A scene of a man tied up to a chair with a bag over his head is slid right side of the Anchorwoman, whom seems unperturbed and nodding with a stern look. The background of said man looks to be some sort of graffitied warehouse of some kind.

"Hello there Martha, and might I say, what a wonderful night it is. I'm right here with the Jonkler, infamous rival to Nocturne himself, and advocate for Domestic Terrorism. Now, Jonkler-" The Cameraman turns to someone sitting besides the tied-up man, gently caressing a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. "-It's been said that you do not believe that Brandon Wesley is indeed not Nocturne. Why?" 

"Now, look, some might call me crazy, but- look at them! They're nothing alike! They have two different faces for pete's sake; one's got a mask! So what if they sound the same, have the same build, drive the same car and what not- if you squint your ears hard enough, you can smell the bullsh*t a mile away. This is just a ploy from the Government." Jonkler rants, holding up photos of the two individuals whilst the tied-up man nods in understanding.

"HAHAHA, you do sure make a great point Jonkler." The Reporter laughs and turns their head to the camera. "Well, that's it for me Martha, I won't be seeing you back at the studio. Have a Great night!"

The Slide of the man escapes from view just before a gun is pointed to their head, and the sound of a gunshot is heard off camera. The News Anchor smiles as if nothing had happened.

                                                                 

"Up next folks, tonight's Highlight: "Should Pigs be allowed in Presidential Debates?" More on that after the break."
