Solstice SMP

Every Solstice, the crystal that holds back the tide shatters, and its shards scatter across the island of Aldura. Five factions, Aldern Wardens, Driftborn, Emberwrights, Duskraiders, and Sunmarket Concord, each with their own passive perk and internal rank ladder (Recruit through Manager, with real 24-hour elections for the top spot), are racing to collect and bank the most shards before the season ends. Whoever's ahead when it does gets real input into what the next season becomes.
 
Carrying shards is the risky part. There's one altar, shared by everyone, get caught by a rival faction before you bank and whatever you're carrying changes hands. One faction, Sunmarket Concord, can't fight and can't be fought, so for them it's always safe, just slower.
