🧊An UnPielievable Event

The Ovens of Pieland went cold on March 22, 2022 at 3:14PM Pie Standard Time. With no warning, all nine Ovens for every Slice shut off at the exact same time. Without working Ovens, all the Slices could no longer produce Octopies. With no more Octopies, what would each community do? Why did the Ovens shut off? Was this just the beginning of more terrible things to come? Would the Great Shut Off cause sup-pie chain shortages? Confusion, chaos, and panic set in around Pieland as Octopies began hoarding everything from all-purpose flour to toilet pieper.

For the first time in Pieland history, all the Slices decided to work together to solve the Oven crisis. That meant Slices had to put aside their rivalries - like the android-based Doughbots and marine-living Piesces or the cunning Pierates and half-eaten Zompies - for the greater good. The Piesons Slice, with the largest Octopies population, was hosting an emergency meeting with a newly-formed Fellowship Of The Octopies (FOTO). Every Slice sent a representative to the Pieson homeland.

The FOTO was headed up by Frodough, a very unique Octopie.

The Oven theories began oozing out like soggy fruit pie. The Expieriments were convinced it was aliens. The Pielanders were concerned their smoking pipes would go out next. The Vampiers accused the tech-savvy Doughbots of inserting nanomaterial fillings into the Ovens to cause them to break down. No one theory seemed to explain why the Ovens went cold or how to fix them.

The Fellowship Of The Octopies agreed the next step was to make the journey to the mysterious Grandoven and ask for a new pilot flame to light their Ovens. This quest would be a difficult one with many dangers. With so much uncertainty, the fellowship decided to visit each of the nine Ovens together to find any clues. Maybe there was a common theme across all the Ovens. Maybe there was a small flame flickering on at one of the Ovens. All the Octopies were filled with hope that they could solve this crisis...
