World Event 01: Nestor Opens the Gate [Sign-up Spoilers]
The following illustrations are taken from the sign-up sequence for the site, so that you can view them again after creating your account.
This event canonically took place at midnight on the day going into Spring 1 Year 1, corresponding in Earth time to September 1, 2019. The first cats to go through the portal largely created what came to be Gardenhome City, and it took a considerable amount of time for word of the portal to spread throughout Earth after.
At the heart of the old city, a guardian stood watch
And in the night, between the lights and windows, and streets and alleys.
They could sometimes be seen, standing, quietly.
And when it was cold or raining, when we were hungry or tired.
They would come in the night.
And bring us gifts.
This is how it was in the old city.
Until one night, when Nestor came to us.
They knelt in the park, and instead of food or toys.
They opened their eyes.
And created a new gift: a door.
And for the first time they spoke to say:
You are not cats. Come home.
