The assault on the altar room and Ozuma's presence is far from over. Though the attacks have abated since they began, there is still a heaviness in the air, and while Ozuma can speak his power has still dwindled leaving in his orb state and unable to do much else.

Unfortunately that leaves the current inhabitants with a problem - how can they continue forward if Ozuma can't even lend his power to the rest of the castle? Beyond that... the Queen has seen fit to make her presence fully known by appearing in the Altar Room itself, along with her horned boy minions at her side. These shadows, though not often hostile aside from infrequent shoving and knocking down, are there to aid her in taking back all that has already been touched by light.

Starting tomorrow and lasting until Monday (in-game, out of game there will be continued developments until next week, allowing for everyone that is doing holiday things a chance to get in) the Queen will appear in the Altar Room in the center, declaring to all that this is her domain, and that the waif-like child, Yorda, is her daughter and must not leave this place. Unfortunately even if you wanted to leave to preserve your own life and not interfere as she demands, it's not as if there is any way out of the castle or back home currently.

The only thing you can do while the Queen attacks is help Ozuma keep light in this place and prove to the Queen that these current heroes are actually a force to be reckoned with.

Naturally this is easier said than done.

Six unfortunate souls will become specific targets of the Queen. While she is powerful, much of her power beyond shadows and their control lies in illusions currently. Be grateful, because at her current power level she can't turn you all to stone and be done with it...

But what she can do is nearly as dangerous. Those six individuals that she will target will begin to hear, see, think and even taste and touch things that aren't actually there. Their very senses, senses that they should be able to trust will no longer be accurate or even truthful to them. And if any of them have made the mistake of not sleeping in the common rooms like they should be? The effect is only going to be that much worse.

The hallucinations are going to be entirely up to the mun, anything from the voice or presence of a long gone loved one, sounds of the townsfolk that used to inhabit the castle long since dead, or even horrors of their worst fears and everything in between. The visions can be ever changing or remain the same the entire time. It can send your character in to a corner, useless against the fight or even turn them in to a temporary enemy as they see allies as something they're not. How this plays out is entirely up to you, but realize that by these six being targeted there is a very, very high chance they won't be any good in the ensuing fight and can even be a hindrance. The strength of the hallucinations will wax and wane throughout the next two days, fading and eventually being gone by Tuesday following the Queen's eventual retreat.

Keep in mind, though that there are a total four locations currently "in light" that can be lost during the fight and that everyone else who has even a remotely fighting chance needs to protect these areas in one way or another lest they be lost and have to be reclaimed once again.

Ozuma, weakened as he is, will be willing to give what he can of himself in the form of light shields to the areas outside of the Altar Room. He will give three - one for the Tower of Winds, one for the Storage Room and one for the bridge to those who wish to claim and be in charge of them. Unfortunately they're not that strong so it will take actual teamwork to keep the places light so long as the Queen is sending her force.

Plan and plot accordingly, Ravehnites! The fight will soon be upon you!
