Timeline: Difference between revisions

*'''August''' ''(Presumed)'': Jess recovers from a successful surgical operation (gaining one year to live) on another unknown dimension and begins writing [[Post-Op Log]].

** The [[Lorebooks|lorebook]] ''[[Lorebooks#Shopping District|An Unfamiliar Past]]'' touches on the mysterious ruins at [[Spawn Town (Parallel Prime)|Spawn Town]] and asks where nether portals come from.

*'''May 15''' Construction begins on the [[Shopping District]] in Parallel Prime.

** The Shopping District officially opens in Parallel Prime.  

** [[Red]], a shopkeeper villager, appears in the newly established Shopping District and sets up a kiosk. He appears perplexed, unsure of where he or his shop supplies came from.

*'''June 12''': [[Diamondback88]] posts this teaser image  sent by Niall in #announcements

*'''June 14''' ''(presumed)'': Red writes [[Captain’s Log 23]] while in space, scanning [[Sector 47-B]].   

*'''June 18''': The [[Crash Site Dungeon Event]] occurs. Niall requests the help of players for investigating scattered debris across Quadrant IV of Parallel Prime, which results in players finding a distress beacon and various space ship parts. The search culminated in the discovery of the [[Crash Site Crater Dungeon]], where players found the bridge of a ship originally belonging to Red. The impact crater from the bridge component was deep enough to unearth a large dungeon directly below the ship remnant, which players explored accordingly.   

*'''July 12''': [[Parallel]] updates to Java 1.16. Nether Prime is completely regenerated for 1.16 terrain and features.  

*'''July 26''': [[The End]] opens. The Commune (now [[The Commonwealth]]) opens its borders. Players take [[The Ender Express]] from The Commune to  a stronghold in Parallel Prime and fight the [[First Ender Dragon Battle]] in the End. After defeating [[The Ender Dragon]] players explore the End and discover a plethora of new structures scattering the End, including the apparent remains of [[Eetles]] containing [[Eetle Wings]].   

*'''August 16''' Jess makes her second appearance to Parallel Prime. She notices a lot of people online and says she has to wait. Although unknown at the time, the thing she was waiting for was to open the spherical rift on Parallel Prime.  

*'''August 20''' Jess returns to Parallel Prime for the third time, saying that in a few days she will have “harnessed the power of the rift.”  

*'''August 21''' Jess makes her fourth appearance on Parallel Prime, leading to the [[Rift Harvest on Parallel Prime]]. She constructs a red sandstone scaffolding tower below the spherical rift near the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Point]]. The [[rift]] gains a quaternary layer of nether portal blocks, and a few minutes later [[Parallel]] shuts down with a message from Jess saying “I warned you.”   

*'''August 23''' [[Parallel]] reopens. Players discover the creation of the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]] near the [[Spawn Point]] and spherical rift. Niall makes an in-person appearance, where he works in the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town Observatory]]. He and the players approach the rift in Parallel Prime Spawn Town, where they notice the primary layer has condensed to a platform of purple concrete blocks. Upon contact with the blocks players and Niall are instantly transported to a new dimension, the Sky Dimension. Players meet [[Buddy]] and [[King Cloudius]], as well as [[Gino]] and [[Rudy]], in the [[Sky Kingdom]]. [[Buddy]] offers a quest to players to speak to King Cloudius upon entry to the Sky Dimension. Cloudius reveals that the opening of a [[rift]] between Parallel Prime and the Sky Dimension caused extensive damage to his kingdom, and indicated an interest in establishing a cooperative relationship with players.

*'''August 23-August 27''' Exploration of the Sky Kingdom and the rest of the available [[Sky Dimension]] reveal scattered signs with incomplete messages, an obelisk named “The Blackness of Eternity,” the appearance of Nether portal clusters, and the return of [[Wisps]].   

*'''October 8''' Upon killing [[Wisps]] spawning in the Sky Dimension, they are discovered to drop mysterious items called [[Soul Shards]].  

*'''January 18''' Niall joins the [[Parallel Discord Server]].

*'''January 21''' Niall returns to his [[Observatory]] in Parallel Prime.

*'''January 23''' Niall announces in [[Discord]] that after completing some studies of the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town Rift]], he has made some discoveries in interspatial (or intradimensional) rift-based travel, which allows the use of rift energy to easily teleport to different places in the same dimension. [[Portal pads]] from [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]] to (and from) the [[Red Rose Arena]] and the Shopping District open. Lastly, Niall informed players of an “unknown life form” detected in the [[Sky Dimension]] (later revealed to be the Crimson Dragon Ralnthar), which he needed help from players to investigate.  

*'''June 1''' [[Diamondback88]] mentions in an announcement that Niall will be delivering a message to players at an upcoming [[Game Night]].

*'''June 4''' Niall delivers a message from King Cloudius to the players. The message is a call to help to players, as the crimson dragon [[Ralnthar]], the Soul Eater has been spotted en route to [[The Kingdom of the Sky]]. He asks players to assist him in moving is wealth from his [[palace]] to [[Midas’s Well]] in [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]]. After doing this, Cloudius asks players to prepare for battle as the arrival of Ralnthar was imminent. Upon the dragon’s appearance in [[The Kingdom of the Sky]] the [[Siege of the Sky Kingdom]] event occurs, leading to the defeat of the players and the total destruction and occupation of [[The Kingdom of the Sky]]. During the siege, new mobs such as [[Fire Wisps]] and [[Juvenile Crimson Dragons]] were observed, as well as the new item [[Unstable Soul Shard]]. In the aftermath of the siege Niall, Jess, and Cloudius discuss how to cope with the reckoning of [[The Kingdom of the Sky]]. In order to rebuild, it is concluded that interdimensional technology from Red must be procured to transport the necessary amount of materials from Parallel Prime to the Sky Dimension.   

*'''July 5''' [[Parallel]] updates to [[Java 1.17]]. Parallel Prime underwent a border expansion from ±5000 x 5000 blocks to ±8000 x 8000 blocks (from a total of 100,000 to 256,000 square blocks in area, more than double its previous size). [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]] has undergone some changes, where NPCs from [[The Kingdom of the Sky]] fled to various buildings in the town. [[Rudy]] established a smithy and Gino established a bakery as [[NPC shops]]. Additionally, three [[portal pads]] from the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]] opened, each to a newly discovered [[Biome Town]]: [[Mountain Town]], [[Savannah Town]], and [[Jungle Town]]. These towns were abandoned and decrepit upon entry, so it was the task of the players to rebuild and resettle these towns. All three of these biome towns were outside of the previous world border.  

*'''July 19''' Players begin reporting the existence of various [[asteroid impacts]] on Parallel Prime. Crater sites P-A-71921 and P-B-71921. Each asteroid crater contains an obsidian asteroid with loot inside of it, including a unique named spyglass. P-A-71921's spyglass was named "explore new worlds" and P-B-71921's spyglass was named "is there more to the sky?".

*'''July 21''' An expedition lead by [[CreeperKing309]] to a [[Woodland Fortress]] leads to the accidental discovery of [[Niall's Private Observatory]] on Parallel Prime. Players noticed a [[fire wisp]] trapped in a locked room, as well as a secret basement containing an isolated [[rift block]]. A lectern written in [[Galactic Standard Alphabet]] warned of an impending [[storm]], which was not otherwise elaborated upon.  

*'''July 22''' Some scaffolding for repairing the [[Kingdom of the Sky]] are reported. Niall is observed in his [[Private Observatory]], while the [[fire wisp]] inside is reported missing.  

*'''July 26''' More scaffolding observed in the Sky Kingdom. Ralnthar continued to preside over the occupied territory during the rebuilding, apparently uninterested in stopping it.  

*'''July 30''' A storm cloud is reported underneath the main island in [[the Kingdom of the Sky]]. A map is discovered in the wreckage, depicting part of a stone castle apparently not yet observed. Niall leaves paintings of asteroids in the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]].  

**Some notebooks from [[pillager outposts]] have been documented in the ice biomes of Parallel Prime, indicating tensions between the pillagers and their villager neighbors. **[[CreeperKing309]] hosts a [[drop party]] in [[Savannah Town]], after which players accidentally discover [[Jess's Outpost]]. Players discover more about the personal history of Jess from books including [[Post-op Log]] and [[World 6 Log]].

*'''August 1''' [[Checkered planar rifts]] are documented in the Sky Dimension. [[Fire wisps]] are observed once again in [[Niall's private observatory]].

*'''August 2''' Jess is observed in her [[outpost]], displeased with the trespassing of players.  

*'''August 7''' Jess joins the [[Parallel Discord Server]] and asks players to help her investigate a structure linked to King Cloudius found on Parallel Prime.

*'''August 8''' Jess and a party of players head to [[Jungle Town]] on Parallel Prime. They find [[Cloudius's Tower]], which contains some lecterns of [[King Cloudius's]] thoughts after the [[Siege of the Sky Kingdom]]. Players learn he is increasingly preoccupied with [[Jess's]] ability to expand the rift between Parallel Prime and the Sky Kingdom, in order to expedite the rebuilding process. King Cloudius does arrive at the tower, angry with players not only for trespassing but also for failing to defend his kingdom.  

*'''August 11''' Red tells players he has made contact with his [[Space Station]] and invites them to look for parts there. Jess makes a message in discord asking players for stabilizer and powering items.

*'''August 15''' The Space Station event occurs. [[Red's ship]] arrives near the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]], and players enter the ship. Upon discovery of a zombified cadet inside the ship, the mission to reunify with the Space Station hits a much darker note. When they arrive at the space station, most of the crew had been killed and turned into zombies or skeletons. The station was severely damaged with apparent mold infestations that breached parts of the hull of the station, as well as permeating the several floors of the station. Players learn the zombification was due to a containment breach of some sort. More about [[Red's]] backstory is revealed in the various lecterns throughout the ship, as well as references to unmet characters [[Germaine Hoang]], [[Logan Carter]], [[Inmate Karl]], and [[Moondust]]. After collecting the parts from the damaged station, Red returns players to the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]]. Jess receives the parts.  

**Niall notifies players that he and Red have returned to the Space Station and cleared all the damage and infestation in the station. The Space Station reopens to players.

**More repairs to [[the Kingdom of the Sky]] are underway, including a full repair of one of the linear rifts back to Parallel Prime

*'''September 28''' Players upload more [[books]] found in various pillager castles in Parallel Prime, with possible links to the Sky Dimension.  

*'''October 30''' After a [[game night]] players see Jess conversing with King Cloudius about the status of expanding the rift to the Sky Dimension. Some progress has been made in repairs, and the pair of linear rifts in the Sky Dimension have now transformed to a single spherical rift. Additionally, a weird [[shrine to Mooism]] is found in the Sky Dimension.  

*'''December 11''' King Cloudius reveals that December 11 is his birthday.

*'''December 26''' [[Parallel]] shuts down to prepare to update to Java 1.18. After doing so Niall posts in #announcements that he has noticed unprecedented, extremely unstable energy readings near the [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town Rift]]. He does not know where the source is, but anticipates a "wild ride" upon returning to [[Parallel]].

**[[Parallel]] reopens to players. Upon rejoining, rather than being in one of the worlds of Parallel everyone is in a black chamber with Niall, Jess, and King Cloudius. Niall begins explaining what happened after players had to return all of their items into an energy vault, as they became filled with unstable rift energy for reasons described below. Then a portal pad opens, taking players to an entirely new world (in 1.18 generation) that became known as Otherside.

**Niall explains that Cloudius exploited Jess's efforts at expanding the rift in the Sky Dimension to rid himself of Ralnthar early. By coaxing the dragon through the rift, Cloudius thought he could remove him from [[the Kingdom of the Sky]], but the rift in the Sky Dimension was too small. This lead to overwhelming the rift between the Sky Dimension and Parallel Prime, and Ralnthar entering Parallel Prime.

**Niall explains that another rift was beginning to form in the Shopping District of Parallel prime, and when Ralnthar entered Parallel Prime this rift opened for Jess, Niall, and Red to escape through. Niall states that this was the cause of the energized gear and that players would not be able to have their gear for a while.  

**Another rift is beginning to form in Otherside, perhaps a way for players to return to Parallel Prime. Niall and Jess say that they will actively work on reconnecting the two worlds over the next few weeks while players settle in Otherside.

**Players explore the [[Otherside Spawn Town]] and meet [[Willie]], who mentions a fellow NPC [[Researcher Lane]] in his introduction to players. They discover notes in [[Lane's Observatory]] about various outposts scattered throughout the world that he went out to check. [[Willie]] introduces the [[Frontier Towns]] of Otherside to the players: [[Mesa Metro]], [[Lush Town]], and [[Cliff Town]]. [[Avig]], the Stump Witch, is mentioned in some of the lecterns of the town.  

**The [[Otherside Spawn Town Rift]] is explored and discovered to connect to the Sky Dimension. Players see Ralnthar's tail cut off in the Sky Dimension due to Cloudius's shunting of the dragon through the rift to Parallel Prime. [[Blue]]'s empty shop remains.  

**[[Rudy]], [[Maggie]], Gino, [[Hal]], and Red enter Otherside. Red replaces [[Blue]]'s shop.  

*'''December 29''' Players discover [[high energy fields]] outside of [[Otherside Spawn Town]], which Niall believes are necessary for returning to Parallel Prime.  

**All of Researcher Lane's outposts in Otherside have now been discovered.  

**An [[abandoned prison cell]] with a note about priests from a prisoner is discovered near the world border of Otherside.

**Niall posts in #announcements that he has deduced that Researcher Lane would be trying to clear a [[dungeon]] in Otherside, and invites players to join in meeting Researcher Lane there.  

**Players meet Researcher Lane for the first time in the [[Otherside Spawn Town]].  

*'''January 15''' An outpost belonging to a mysterious individual known as The Stormgate Keeperwas discovered on Otherside. [[The Keeper]] then introduces themself in a message in #server, saying that they lead the Stormgate Keepers, a society in the shadows that occasionally resurfaces. They say more visits should be anticipated from the Stormgate Keepers, including a [[drop party]].  

*'''January 16''' There are reports of loot chests deposited in various locations on Otherside such as [[New Scrovnia]] by the Stormgate Keepers.   

**[[Nial]], Researcher Lane, and the players raid [[The Citadel]], a dungeon in Otherside containing a [[Portal Catalyzer]].  

*'''January 22''' Construction on the [[Rift Catalyzer]] to unite Parallel Prime to Otherside begins.

*'''January 29''' After requesting more powering items from players, Jess, Niall, and Researcher Lane successfully activate the [[Rift Catalyzer]] to open a [[rift]] between Parallel Prime and Otherside. In doing so, the Shopping District was overlayed to Otherside, having been sucked away from Parallel Prime during the opening.

**For Jess and Researcher Lane, however, upon opening of this rift they were transported right into Ralnthar's body, so Niall and the players had to enter the dormant Ralnthar in order to rescue them. Ralnthar apparently settled in [[Midas's Well]], where players stored King Cloudius's gold the previous June. Players had to deal serious damage to his fire gland before he let Researcher Lane and Jess out.  

**Ralnthar admitted to being in a weakened state for the time being, and threatened vengeance for when he returned to health. He offered players the temptation of his captured riches by allowing them to exchange [[soul shards]] for randomized loot from the well, until he healed.  

**Players were able to access their vaults from the closure of Parallel Prime again, and Ender Chests gained interdimensional functionality between the two worlds.  

**Red announces that he soon will be selling a [[Pocket Teleporter]] device.   

*'''February 5'' [[Willie]] begins repairing [[Parallel Prime Spawn Town]] from Ralnthar's damage.  

*'''February 7''' Niall checks into [[Maggie's Hotel]], apparently feeling anxious from Ralnthar's earlier threats.  

*'''February 8''' Ralnthar's footprints have been observed on Parallel Prime, presumably from his initial entry from the rift incident in December 2021.  

*'''February 12''' The Stormgate Keeper's drop party platform is discovered in The Shopping District.

*'''February 17''' The [[Stormgate Keepers]] make their first in-game appearance with their leader [[The_Storm_Keeper]]. They announce a drop party at a platform in the Shopping District. After hosting a [[drop party]], Niall makes an appearance, worried about nightmares he keeps having. He says he has very little knowledge of the Stormgate Keepers.  

**Researcher Lane reports that some of [[Ralnthar's minions]] have been observed in the Sky Dimension at night. He reports that he has not seen Niall for a few days.  

**After arguing with King Cloudius, [[robbie1776]] challenges him to a fight in the [[Red Rose Arena]] where he is promptly defeated with thunderbolts.

**A book is found in [[Lane's Observatory]] where Niall says he will be out for a while.  

*'''March 20''' [[NecroticSpecter]] defeats [[robbie1776]] in the longest recorded PvP fight in the [[Red Rose Arena]], approaching 45 minutes of combat time. Researcher Lane makes a brief appearance to congratulate the victor and inform players that he and Niall are working on finding a solution to Niall's "problem".   

*'''April 2''' Researcher Lane reports that he cannot find Niall and warns that Niall is on a dangerous path at the moment.  

*'''April 3''' [[Motacilla_Alba]] hosts a [[Drop Party]] in [[Frostmere]]. Red makes an appearance at the end of the drop party, where he drops a new item: the [[End Totem]].

*'''April 4''' Niall is spotted in the [[Otherside Spawn Town]], where he quickly eludes players trying to follow him on his unknown task. He checks into the [[Red Rose Hotel]] briefly, leaving some parts. Apparently he visited [[The Parallel Prime Spawn Town Observatory]] and [[Researcher Lane's Observatory]] as evidenced by the missing parts and the apology sign from Niall. The trail ends in a cave near [[Researcher Lane's Observatory]] where there is a sign from Niall about getting rest in the cave, with a bed and redstone dust on the floor nearby. Researcher Lane confirms that this dust is not blood.  

*'''April 16''' Niall is located in a [[Fishing Village]] on Parallel Prime. His notebook says he is working on a project, but provides few details. Some [[mysterious dust]] is discovered in a chest in the village.  

**The first [[Easter Egg Hunt]] of [[Parallel]], designed primarily by [[CinderAshes2787]], commences. [[Snowy893]] is declared the winner after finding all unique eggs spread throughout Parallel Prime and Otherside.   

**Researcher Lane says that he has not heard any reports from another explorer, [[Captain Cora]], for weeks. He directs players to the [[Lake under Otherside Spawn Town]] to read her notes by the lake. [[Willie]] chimes in and mentions [[The Lake Lurker]]. The notes say that the lake has received a severe spike in salinity. From a [[diary]] left by an unknown author, they believe they may have happened upon [[The Lake Lurker]] while exploring.  

*'''April 20'''* A sign from the Stormgate Keepers is discovered in [[The Thiccy Piston]] in [[the Shopping District]]. Shortly after discovery [[The_Storm_Keeper]] enters the game brifely, acknowledging [[robbie1776]]'s discovery of the sign.  

**An update to the sign board in the [[Otherside Spawn Town Lake]] is reported, with a cross sectional map of the underground of [[Otherside Spawn Town]] with a photo of [[The Lake Lurker]] reported. Some iron golems had been created by Researcher Lane to patrol the lake.  

**An update to Niall's notes left in the [[Fishing Village]] is reported, which adds "The riddles of the past are becoming clearer and clearer" in the last page of the notebook.  

**Ralnthar warns players that someone has been frequently observing him in his lair and that anyone who comes too close will be incinerated. A notebook most likely by Researcher Lane is found nearby [[Ralnthar's Lair]] warning that the temperature is increasing, perhaps indicating an approaching return to full health for Ralnthar.  

**Researcher Lane reports that someone has broken into [[The Citadel]], where Niall left some signs saying he was looking for something but it was not in the dungeon.  

*'''May 3''' Some new books in the Space Station detail an outbreak of fungus in the menagerie floor. The book was written by [[L.W. 141]], who apparently needs to report this an [[Captain 1854]]. [[L.W. 141]] names the fungus "[[Nether Weed]]."  

*'''May 14''' Researcher Lane receives the [[Cave Paintings]] from [[Mr_PresidingDent]]. He says that they are transcriptions of real cave paintings he found while exploring underneath the [[Otherside Spawn Town]]. Players attempt to visit the [[Dig Site]] near [[Researcher Lane's Observatory]], but it had been blocked off by Researcher Lane. He provides some [[drawings]] of species he observed in the cave to players.  

**Researcher Lane reports a strange signal from Otherside of unknown origin that he received in broken coded English. Apparently, the signal translated to "approach, approach." Blueshifted signals indicated that the origin of the signal was approaching Otherside. In later weeks this signal was revealed to have come from [[the Cube Aliens]].   

**Researcher Lane provides encoded transcripts of recordings for players to decrypt, where the message hints about a formidable foe and indescribable prize approaching.

**Players ask Red if he knew anything about the signal or [[Inmate Karl]], where he provides no satisfactory answer. He also dodges the question of who is supplying him.   

**Researcher Lane provides another encoded transcript for players to decrypt. The transcript speaks of prizes that are apparently coming with the signal.  

**Researcher Lane provides a third encoded transcript for players to decrypt, which apparently challenges players to receive a reward.

**Researcher Lane provides another signal from the approaching object, saying that it is approaching from the void with a challenge. The message repeats.  

**Researcher Lane reports that Jess has attempted to communicate with the incoming object (the [[Cube Aliens]]). Players ask questions to the object.

**[[The_Storm_Keeper]] rejoins and pleads to Researcher Lane for help, but still provides no information as to what that would entail. [[The_Storm_Keeper]] warns of Ralnthar's return again.  

**The object ([[The Cube Aliens]]) reply to questions relayed by Jess, saying that they are from the stars, that they do not know about Ralnthar, and that they are not humanoid.     

**Jess relays a message from the object ([[Cube Aliens]]) saying that they travel across planes to bring wealth.  

*'''June 6''' Researcher Lane reports that the incoming object is communicating in English with no further code, but repeating messages said previously.  

*'''June 12''' Researcher Lane and Jess report that the object is incoming and anticipate its arrival on Otherside shortly.

*'''June 15''' Researcher Lane and Jess report hearing an eerie voice from the incoming object saying "Do you see us?" and a date "06/19."

**The [[Cube Alien Arrival]] event occurs. Players gather with Researcher Lane, Jess, and Red in the [[Otherside Observatory]]. The object communicates with players coordinates to find them, where players found an enormous cuboidal structure in Otherside now known as [[The Cube Dungeon]].  

**Notes from Moondust, also known as [[Vanessa Moore]], were found in the last floor of the dungeon, detailing her account of attempting to complete [[The Cube Dungeon]] to save her partner [[Germaine Hoang]].  

**The last floor of the dungeon has a [[non-organic tree]], which had blooms that she thought could help heal [[Germaine]]'s illness. She leaves notes of an emergency radio frequency to contact the Space Station with. Players looted [[Gilded Blooms]] from the tree.  

**Upon learning of this radio signal, Red immediately attempts to find [[Vanessa Moore]] and Germaine. Players return to Parallel Prime to find the two in an encampment as survivors of the Space Station.  

**Vanessa Moore admits that the Space Station maintained a large prisoner population where experiments were performed on them in exchange for early release.  

**Vanessa Moore and Germaine say that the mold infestation from [[The Space Station event]] was due to an uncontained biological experiment breaking loose, and that they escaped through escape pods to Parallel Prime.  Germaine was injured in the process, and Vanessa Moore had to go to great lengths to heal Germaine, including completing [[The Cube Dungeon]]. The medicine that Vanessa Moore had procured healed Germaine's arm, but apparently his eyes changed color. Vanessa Moore is apparently not affected by the blue mold.  

**Vanessa Moore tells players that she is blind but can read esoteric languages.   

*'''June 27''' [[Willie]] builds a house for Vanessa Moore and Germaine in the [[Otherside Spawn Town]].  

*'''July 4''' After the 3rd Parallel [[Fourth of July Fireworks Event]], [[Lane]] confirms from test reports that the substance Niall had in the [[Fishing Village]] is not blood, rather, that it is unique and radiates with energy.  

*'''July 5''' [[The_Storm_Keeper]] appears once more in [[Frostmere]] in Otherside after [[Motacilla_Alba]] finished hosting a [[drop party]]. The Keeper warned of Ralnthar's imminent return yet again, providing no further details as usual.  

*'''July 7''' The Stormgate Keepers post in #general a recording of Ralnthar from their most recent battle in which they were forces to retreat to [[Parallel]]. The audio recording states: "You bargain with your blood"

** Prior to the reopening of [[Parallel]] for 1.19, Jess posts in #announcements that she is detecting unusual weather patterns in the newly available sections of Otherside and requests players spend time to explore some specific areas once the server reopens.

**[[Parallel]] reopens for Java 1.19. Jess directs players to a site a few thousand blocks from the [[Otherside Spawn Town]], where she noted earlier strange weather readings.  The carcass of [[Ellanti]], an [[Ice Dragon]] killed by Researcher Lane many months ago by his [[Weather Machine]], was in the area, as well as some destroyed trees. Researcher Lane explains how [[Ellanti]] was a previous threat to the [[Otherside Spawn Town]] causing people to leave, but cautions against using the [[Weather Machine]] as it can lead to potentially catastrophic collateral damage. Researcher Lane then leaves abruptly as he was reminded of something from the site, while Jess collects scales from the carcass.
