Attack on Caldera event info
The Map Expand is now live! You may check it out on the Map Post. You will note that currently, only one new area has opened. As the expedition progresses, two more new areas will open up - the Desert, and the city of Caldera. This will encompass the entirety of the initial group traveling to Caldera, and for the first three days those areas will ONLY be open to the party traveling to Caldera. Once Caldera is reached and the Warp Marker has been set up, they will open up to the rest of the game. All other areas will not open up until player plots are completed to explore them. While players may plan them now, we won’t be starting any new plots to open areas until after this event has finished.
The objective of this event will be to convince the Gigas troops to withdraw from Caldera, and hopefully gain an ally in the process. As such, we are being up-front with the steps and general planned timeline of this event so plans can be made. Note these won’t be all of the event postings going up, but this is intended to give an idea of what to be planning for.
5/24: Sign-ups for the advance party to Caldera open, Flower Grove area opens for advance party members
5/25: Desert opens for advance party members
5/26: Arrive in Caldera, sign-ups for the advance party close. Flower Grove, Desert, and Caldera open to all players for bonding. Meetings begin to determine the way to proceed begin.
5/29: Begin response to Gigas threat
6/1: Gigas responds to Union and Caldera action
6/4: Tentative event end, depending on log progress. Post-event results and rewards announced.
There will be several general options available to players, both in and out of Caldera.
-Diplomacy: Attempt to peacefully convince Gigas forces to back down.
-Aggression: Through guerilla tactics, cripple Gigas supply lines and force them away.
Note: Depending on the actions in the Diplomacy or Aggression threads, they can impact each other.
-Refugees: There will be a large amount of refugees to be evacuated from Caldera and escorted back to Union. This has a Caldera and Union component, those in Caldera will need to provide the escort service whereas those in Union will need to prepare shelter and supplies for them when they arrive.
-Supply Lines: Those in Union will need to depart and move supplies of food and medicine up to Caldera to help them withstand the siege.
This post will be open to planning, we encourage people to decide what they would like to do to take part in the event. Please note, while this event is not mandatory no rewards will be issued to characters who do not take part. While these are the routes we’ve identified, players are encouraged to come up with other avenues to address the event organically.
Additionally, any characters hailing from Gigas are eligible for a bit more setting information, they may contact the mod team if they wish to have it. The suggested method of contact is sending a Plurk message to all moderators.

Re: Fight! Divine Defense Force!
Not much of a force if we aren't united right?
Setsuna isn't about to let the other Outers leave her behind.
Plus they could probably use a level head and a good calming force.
