The Deadwood Hotel Event

Overview
The Deadwood Hotel event was an a event that occurred on the 10th of July at 3pm. The event happened at the so-called Deadwood Hotel, a hotel build buy Dexter_Og and Alkethar mainly. There were some other contributors to the build. The event entailed a guest list of 70 or so people. They discovered secrets about the hotel and about the two murders that occurred there. At the end of the event, the Lich's manipulations were revealed and he was slain by throwing his phylactery (soul), Liber Sanguinis, into the void.

Plot/Timeline
- The guests arrive at roughly 3:00 and form an orderly line. They are shown to their rooms by the undead staff at the Hotel.

- By roughly 3:30, Crezyman and DHVO discover the dead body of MisticCrafter, after she was choked to death. The guests at the Hotel begin searching around and discovering more clues.

- At 4:00, a scream is heard outside amidst the rain and thunder. DHVO was thrown off of a bridge between the highest sweet and the back tower of the hotel. His body was discovered in a bloody mess underneath it.

- At roughly 4:10, the guests begin to discover the true secrets of the Hotel. There were several journals spread about describing the plights of 3 separate people. Each of them were killed and had their souls consumed by the Lich. One was by an Escharien woman who lived before the time of Azuria, one was about a man who was formerly from Valdreach, and the other was about an Abyss Mystic.

- At 4:30, it is discovered that the Lich was in correspondence with Theodore, who murdered both Mistic and DHVO. The Lich manipulated Theodore into killing the two world leaders at the event in order to consume their souls.

- Once this is discovered, a few guests realize that they will not be able to escape the hotel unless they can destroy the lich. They know that they have to find and destroy the Lich's phylactery, Liber Sanguinis.

- At 5:00, they confront the Lich in his tomb/cathedral in the catacombs underneath the hotel. He exclaims his immortality and taunts the guests before they cast the Lich's phylactery into the void, destroying him forever. This breaks the spell and the guests are thrust back out of the hotel.

Pre-event History

The Lich created the hotel in order to feed upon the souls of mortals. Liches need to eat souls in order to sustain themselves and their undead husks, so a Hotel flytrap seemed like a good idea. The Lich created the Gala to guarantee both his safety in whatever future endeavors he had planned, and also a way to eat souls and sustain himself. Other lore related to the Lich can be found at his wiki page, linked above.

The Build
The Deadwood Hotel hits both limits for building, and is 188 blocks tall from the surface. (255 counting underground) It's exterior was built exclusively by Dex_Og, while the interior was built by both Dex_OG and Alkethar. The interior featured several floors, over forty rooms, tons of secret passageways, two Theatres, several bars, a well outfitted spa, a large cellar, the largest brewing facility in rathnir, a flooded tower, lots of secrets, an underground library, huge catacombs, a cathedral, and a tomb. The build started sometime in April, and the bottom 3 floors were previously the Briarwood Hotel.
