Dark Universe Incursions
Introduction All across Earthland, strange rifts have been appearing. The rifts seem to act as portals between the Dark Universe and our universe through which their armies are being sent to weaken our universe. Similar to the rifts used by the Demons during the Demonic Incursions, the size of the rift used by the Dark Universe also indicates how much they are trying to transfer from their side to our side. The size, however, does not represent quantity. Instead, it represents the amount of power needed to send someone through. In the rifts below, as part of the Dark Universe Incursions, you will see many no-named invaders run out of them to conquer the area where they have been deployed. Should you see a single person come out of a rift, it means that it is one of the Dark Universe Raiders.
Minor Incursion In a Minor Incursion, a small tear appears in space through which lots of low-leveled invaders enter our world. The rift is usually opened in small towns rather than cities. Minor Incursions are used by the Dark Universe as distractions or to immediately conquer a single sub-location. Be careful!

Major Incursion During the Major Incursions, the Dark Universe will send out a lot all at once. The rifts are also the entry point for Dark Universe commanders and their companies. They are sent to conquer a city from outside and draw all the efforts towards protecting their walls while Minor Incursion and Moderate Incursion Rifts are opened at sub-locations.

Catastrophic Incursion During a Catastrophic Incursion, a whole battalion is sent through the rift by the Dark Universe. Since it takes time to properly deploy them all, they are usually created outside cities to then march towards their desired locations. While the invaders sent during the Major Incursions are sent to draw attention to the walls, the invaders sent during a Catastrophic Incursion are actually expected to conquer cities or at least cause significant damage to them.

Monstrous Incursion Lastly, the Monstrous Incursions. Unless the proper parties are sent to deal with them, it is considered an immediate loss on our end. Through these rifts, the Dark Universe deploys an entire brigade at once to conquer regions on Earthland instead of cities. They must be stopped at all costs. Otherwise, they may conquer regions that are needed for transportation of medicine, goods, assistance, or regions that hold powerful cities.

Event Conditions
- It is possible to participate solo, however the rewards will be halved for the solo player.
- For every additional member in the party, the total number of posts is reduced by 2. The word count is unchanged.
- Each member of a party must meet the rank requirements to participate in an incursion.
- In order to participate, one person must use the template below to sign up for their party. Once they have been approved, the steps below can be followed to continue.
- The person forming the party must start the topic. The topic can be started anywhere.
- Once started, the participants can enter this topic without traveling. The topic doesn't take up a slot either.
- The title of the topic is important. The topic title must end with the event tag followed by the difficulty e.g. (Dark Universe Incursions - Monstrous).
- In the first post, the participants witness a rift opening out of which mages and adventurers from the Dark Universe invade our world.
- Users may only take part in a Dark Universe Incursion once per month. If they do, they cannot participate in a Dark Universe Incursion.
- Users may only complete a difficulty once.
- Users may only start a new Dark Universe Incursion if they either completed or canceled their last one.
- Dark Universe Incursions can be invaded by players who are already in that region and attempt to stop you from saving it. If you are confronted by PC enemies and fight them, all parties involved are eligible for fight rewards as well, however, the invading party does not receive Incursion rewards. You do not have to meet the post/wc requirement to claim rewards should you be invaded.
- The win is guaranteed because this event only relies on posts and word counts. Therefore, the party must provide a great show to make the win seem as impressive as possible. Should a post be nonsense or focus on describing nonsense (not related to the event and clearing the event) it won't be counted.
- The minimum number of posts is the number of posts each participant must do at least in the topic. This prevents someone from dumping a single wall of text and then dipping out.
- Furthermore, if it becomes clear that the posts were written beforehand through a pattern they won't count either. This means no indication of replying to what the previous posters have stated in their posts.
