'''Aenternoll L'Draggor''' is a Dhe'nar [[warrior]] who currently resides in [[Solhaven]]. He is the younger brother of [[Zeminar (prime)|Zeminar L'Draggor]].

In 5123, Aenternoll and Zeminar became honorary Evashirans, having spent considerable time in [[Evashir]] in pursuit of forgotten knowledge.

=='''Appearance'''==
<pre{{log3}}>
You see Aenternoll L'Draggor.
Due to the ivory death mask he wears, it is difficult to determine his race...or even whether he is living or dead. He is tall. His features are hidden beneath a shattered ivory death mask set over jagged bronze mesh, though his piercing green eyes shine through. He has long, braided silver hair swept back from the temples. Little else about his appearance is easy to distinguish.
He has a Dhe'nari Temple caste tattoo on his neck, and a pair of scaled sleeves inked in green and bronze patina tones.

He is wearing a shattered ivory death mask set over jagged bronze mesh, a linked bronze chain-strung glowing shadowglass phylactery, some emerald prayer beads wound through a copper serpent, a sacred Luukosian oriflamme emblazoned with a green serpent on a brown field, a wax-darkened emerald green vylithen cloak clasped with a snake agate ouroboros, three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald, a twisted black mawflower, a battle-worn kakore greatshield scarred with the symbol of the Luukosian Order, some hooded emerald green elesine robes inked with serpentine runes of burnished bronze, some copper-clad ora vambraces adorned with interlocking emerald scales, a carved bone Luukosian idol dangling a slender albino raven feather, a bronze su'chao silk vatanura patterned in tone-on-tone whorls of flowing arabesque, and some qahzumar skin riding boots cross-buckled with hammered bronze.

As a community focused on learning, sharing and research, [[The Order of Eternal Light]] houses their archives at libraries spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire|Empire]]. As part of their mission to further the knowledge of the Arkati, these libraries are made available to the public. Here you will find the most recently submitted documents from the [[Solhaven]] chapter of The Order.

==A Most Important Play==

'''Event:''' The Tragedy of [[Leya]] and Egan 
'''Performance Date:''' 7/10/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper [[Aenternoll_(prime)|Aenternoll L'Draggor]] 
'''Location:''' Amphitheater, [[House Brigatta]] 

Tonight, we told the story of Leya and Egan as it was meant to be told. Naamit, Peatwyn, Zeminar and Bakarus each gave more than I could have hoped, and the others who supported from the shadows deserve equal thanks. I am grateful to them all. This note is only a glimpse of the evening, and I encourage any who read it to seek the full account in the archives, where the tale is preserved in full detail.

==Frontier Justice==

'''Event:''' The Trial of Bakarus Klysus 
'''Trial Dates:''' 7/6/5122 & 7/9/5122 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper [[Aenternoll_(prime)|Aenternoll L'Draggor]] 
'''Location:''' Clovertooth Hall, Icemule Trace 
'''Presiding Judge:''' [[Teaberry (prime)|Teaberry Wildroot]]

I begin this entry with an apology. In the aftermath of First Pilgrim’s trial, I set these documents aside, and only now, three years later, have I gathered the will to return to them. The delay weighs on me, though perhaps it was inevitable, given how heavy those days felt at the time.

Reading the proceedings again stirs memories I thought had dulled. The people of Icemule Trace, though sincere in their efforts, were steered into a trial that bore little resemblance to justice. That some measure of truth emerged in the end offers a degree of solace, though it does not erase the unease of how it came about. For my part, I cannot help but wonder if our Order’s thirst for knowledge left us exposed, or if the First Pilgrim was unknowingly ensnared in [[Zeban]]’s schemes from the very beginning. I lean toward the latter, yet I know perspective will always shift with time. Perhaps if I revisit these pages in another three years, I will arrive at another conclusion entirely.

The record itself is preserved in two volumes now resting in the Archives. They remain unchanged, even as my own thoughts continue to evolve around them. I suspect that, in time, the Archives will outlast not only our judgments but also the emotions that shaped them. Still, for now, I write to remember and to wrestle, quietly, with what we endured.

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege when our Order can offer support to other organizations we respect. When the invitation came to host a gathering during Winternights for Cairnfang Manor and Solhaven, we did not pause long before agreeing. The halls feel less cold when shared purpose fills them.

First Pilgrim Bakarus, with his usual quiet wisdom, chose the topic well. Kuon, patron of herbs and flowers, so rarely stands in the forefront of our thoughts, and yet his presence threads through nearly every moment of our lives. To speak of him now, in the heart of winter, was to remind us that the frost will not last forever. I find myself clinging to that thought more than I expected.

The formal report has already been placed in the Archives, but here, in these pages, I can admit that I am weary of winter’s long hold. I look to Kuon’s promise of green and bloom as one looks toward a distant shore.

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I find myself unexpectedly impressed. Though I was not able to attend the debate in person, the report makes it clear that Issiah more than held his own... against a [[Magister]] no less! That is no small feat. Magister Raelee’s reputation precedes her: a formidable mind with a seemingly endless command of, well... knowledge itself.

Yet it is not the debate alone that lingers with me, but one particular insight she offered regarding the Erithians. They often honor Lumnis and Fash’lo’nae in tandem, and that thought has settled in my mind with surprising weight. If such a pairing is not only possible but common among them, then perhaps we, too, ought to reconsider the relationships we imagine between Arkati. What other combinations might we have overlooked?

For those who were unable to attend, I strongly encourage requesting a copy of the report. It is well worth the read.

==Ivas Temple Tour==

'''Event:''' [[Ivas]], Two Sides of Temptation 
'''Date:''' 1/20/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Reporter:''' [[Lylia (prime)|Lylia Rashere]] 
'''Location:''' Ivas's temple in the [[Vipershroud]] & the Garden of Desire in Solhaven 
'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

<pre{{log2}}>
Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

I begin this entry with an apology. In the aftermath of First Pilgrim’s trial, I set these documents aside, and only now, three years later, have I gathered the will to return to them. The delay weighs on me, though perhaps it was inevitable, given how heavy those days felt at the time.

Reading the proceedings again stirs memories I thought had dulled. The people of Icemule Trace, though sincere in their efforts, were steered into a trial that bore little resemblance to justice. That some measure of truth emerged in the end offers a degree of solace, though it does not erase the unease of how it came about. For my part, I cannot help but wonder if our Order’s thirst for knowledge left us exposed, or if the First Pilgrim was unknowingly ensnared in [[Zeban]]’s schemes from the very beginning. I lean toward the latter, yet I know perspective will always shift with time. Perhaps if I revisit these pages in another three years, I will arrive at another conclusion entirely.

The record itself is preserved in two volumes now resting in the Archives. They remain unchanged, even as my own thoughts continue to evolve around them. I suspect that, in time, the Archives will outlast not only our judgments but also the emotions that shaped them. Still, for now, I write to remember and to wrestle, quietly, with what we endured.

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege when our Order can offer support to other organizations we respect. When the invitation came to host a gathering during Winternights for Cairnfang Manor and Solhaven, we did not pause long before agreeing. The halls feel less cold when shared purpose fills them.

First Pilgrim Bakarus, with his usual quiet wisdom, chose the topic well. Kuon, patron of herbs and flowers, so rarely stands in the forefront of our thoughts, and yet his presence threads through nearly every moment of our lives. To speak of him now, in the heart of winter, was to remind us that the frost will not last forever. I find myself clinging to that thought more than I expected.

The formal report has already been placed in the Archives, but here, in these pages, I can admit that I am weary of winter’s long hold. I look to Kuon’s promise of green and bloom as one looks toward a distant shore.

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I find myself unexpectedly impressed. Though I was not able to attend the debate in person, the report makes it clear that Issiah more than held his own... against a [[Magister]] no less! That is no small feat. Magister Raelee’s reputation precedes her: a formidable mind with a seemingly endless command of, well... knowledge itself.

Yet it is not the debate alone that lingers with me, but one particular insight she offered regarding the Erithians. They often honor Lumnis and Fash’lo’nae in tandem, and that thought has settled in my mind with surprising weight. If such a pairing is not only possible but common among them, then perhaps we, too, ought to reconsider the relationships we imagine between Arkati. What other combinations might we have overlooked?

For those who were unable to attend, I strongly encourage requesting a copy of the report. It is well worth the read.

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

<pre{{log2}}>
Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

2025-07-10 - Play: The Tragedy of Leya and Egan (log)

2025-09-03T03:15:56Z

THADROOP: Verbiage tweak at top

[[The Order of Eternal Light]] presented an original revival of the tragic tale of [[Leya]] and Egan. Below you will find a transcript of the play.

''(Ambient messaging, some player actions and non-related conversation have been removed to improve clarity.)''

==Event Log==
<pre{{log2}}>

'''Bakarus serenely says, "Eternal light all."'''

Bakarus smiles and makes his way toward the stage, glancing briefly at the attendants snuffing the house lights. By the time he reaches the center of it, the amphitheater is largely dark, drawing all attention to the brightly lit stage.

'''Bakarus introduces, "I am Bakarus Klysus, a humble pilgrim who is fortunate to have the privilege of representing the Order this evening."'''

'''Bakarus appreciatively expresses, "But first, a very deserved thank you to Chatalaine Traiva and House Brigatta for making this possible. Sister Traiva, if you are in the room, thank you. You are the best of us."'''

Bakarus coughs.

Bakarus suddenly loses his balance and stumbles a bit to the left before righting himself.

You smile at Traiva.

Bakarus coughs.

Traiva turns toward Bakarus and flutters her wings out wide for Bakarus to see.

Zeminar nods once.

Riend nods approvingly at Traiva.

Tikba smiles at Traiva.

'''Bakarus apologizes, "Please excuse me. My constitution is not what it once was."'''

Bakarus rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Missoni nods sympathetically.

'''Bakarus wonders, "Now, where was I? Ahh, yes..."'''

'''Bakarus proclaims, "Tonight! I will be your narrator as we reenact that most tragic tale, the tale of Leya and Egan."'''

Lylia leans forward and rests her chin in her hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Tikba gazes with interest at Bakarus.

'''Bakarus excitedly introduces, "Our titular roles of Leya and Egan will be played by Madam Naamit and Master Peatwyn this evening. And of course, perhaps a special guest or two..."'''

'''Bakarus implores, "Please... let's give them a round of applause to help steel their nerves."'''

Aerelean applauds.

You become invisible.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Jaired applauds.

Ryans applauds warmly.

Littlemelody applauds.

'''Bakarus dramatically whispers aloud, "So... without further ado..."'''

Lylia folds her hands in her lap.

Zeminar agrees with Cryheart.

Cryheart nods at Zeminar.

''Bakarus waves his hand toward the darkened stage behind him. He slowly moves to stage left as he talks.''

Speaking quietly to Cryheart, Jaired says, "No spoilers."

Cryheart clasps his hand over his mouth.

Cryheart mumbles something under his breath.

'''Bakarus recites grandiosely:'''

''' "Today... most only know Leya as the daughter of mighty Kai and the elf, Learya."'''

Jaired starts chortling.

Arbeia turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

Riend gazes in amusement at Cryheart.

'''Bakarus recites knowingly:'''

''' "Fearsome in battle, she is often associated with wielding but a simple ivory-hilted dagger."'''

'''Bakarus recites trepidatiously:'''

''' "Though... '''

''' There is one tale."'''

Bakarus smiles.

Kothos takes a moment to observe Bakarus.

Jaired turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

'''Bakarus recites ominously:'''

''' "Where she wielded a different blade..."'''

Arelder leans forward.

Arelder gazes with interest at Bakarus.

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Bakarus pulls his black ora longsword out of its troll-arm sheath accompanied by a wet squishy sound.

'''Speaking longingly to his black ora longsword, Bakarus whispers aloud, "A certain sword by the name of Soulingen..."'''

''Bakarus's voice goes hoarse as he gazes at the blade as if transfixed.''

Bakarus blinks.

''Bakarus glances up as if only noticing the audience again and grins.''

Arbeia takes a moment to observe Bakarus.

'''Bakarus recites playfully:'''

'''"This, dear friends, is where our story truly begins..."'''

''Bakarus steps to the left side of the stage in a halo of candlelight, revealing the work of the stagehands assembling scenery in the background.''

Arbeia nods at Bakarus.

Luxelle inclines her ear, listening intently.

'''Bakarus whimsically narrates, "As Leya often did, she was wandering through the forest to a pool she knew well where she could enjoy quiet contemplation."'''

Naamit comes out of hiding.

''Naamit strides from behind a painted scrim at stage right. Reaching a tussock of grass near center stage, she stops and stares at something near it.''

Bakarus glances at Naamit.

Jaired leans forward.

Lylia turns to face Naamit.

'''Bakarus narrates, "However, this day would be different. Lying next to the pool was an elf."'''

Kothos gazes with interest at Naamit.

Tikba takes a drink from her honeysuckle liramea.
CS: +300 - TD: +300 + CvA: +15 + d100: +27 == +42
Warded off!

Peatwyn suddenly fades into view.

''Peatwyn stirs and groans as if in pain.''

Arbeia takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

Peatwyn sits down.

Kothos gazes in awe at Peatwyn.

''Peatwyn struggles to stand, but can only manage to pull himself to a seated position. The effort seems to have taken all his energy.''

Tikba glances between Naamit and Peatwyn.

Peatwyn hangs his head.

'''Bakarus earnestly narrates, "Leya almost turned to leave, but catching a glimpse of his face... his beauty drew her to him."'''

''Naamit takes a few cautious steps toward the slumped figure, her hand outstretched toward him.''

''Peatwyn struggles to stay conscious, his breathing ragged from his wounds.''

''Naamit hesitates a moment longer before biting her lip in consternation. She rushes to the elf's side and assesses his wounds.''

Yunni leans forward.

Peatwyn moans.

Riend bites her lip.

Naamit frets.

''Naamit rips a strip of hem from her linen tunic and tries to staunch the blood, tending his injuries as best she can.''

'''Naamit desperately laments, "Oh, the blood, so much blood... I cannot bear this! Spirits, hear me!"'''

''Naamit beseeches the spirits of the forest for aid in a keening, haunting cry.''

''Peatwyn slowly opens his eyes as the pain begins to subside.''

Zeminar turns an inquisitive ear toward Naamit.

''Peatwyn smiles weakly at Naamit.''

Arbeia leans forward.

''Naamit helps Peatwyn slowly to his feet. He steadies himself on her shoulder, and they move at a halting pace toward stage right.''

'''Bakarus narrates, "The two departed on the short journey to Leya's woodland home where Egan might continue his recovery."'''

''Bakarus raises his voice slightly to disguise the muffled footsteps of stagehands changing out scenery behind him.''

Peatwyn stands up.

'''Bakarus continues, "By the time the couple reached her home, Egan was nearly healed, although still weakened from his ordeal. Without Gosaena's sickle above him, he was now able to see Leya clearly."'''

Yunni leans forward.

'''Bakarus quietly adds, "And he was enchanted."'''

Peatwyn glances appreciatively at Naamit.

Missoni smiles.

'''Peatwyn charmingly says, "I have forgotten my manners. Forgive me for not introducing myself to my savior sooner. My name is Egan of House Vaalor."'''

Peatwyn smiles and offers a courteous bow, wincing slightly at his healing wounds.

'''Peatwyn explains, "As I was attempting to enter an old sorcerer's tower, I was discovered. Deathly spells were cast at me, causing me to fall from the battlements."

Peatwyn whispers aloud, "The next thing I remember... is waking up near the lake with you taking care of me."'''

Peatwyn gazes fondly at Naamit.

Naamit nods understandingly.

''Naamit covers his hand with hers, and the two freeze in tableau as Bakarus picks up the thread of the story.''

Arelder takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

'''Bakarus narrates, "What Egan did not know was that the sorcerer had taken pity upon him and teleported him to the lake, knowing that Leya would find him."'''

'''Bakarus continues, "As the two grew to know each other over the passing days and Egan regained his strength, a deeper fondness set in."'''

'''Bakarus earnestly narrates, "Each stealing glances at the other, spending afternoons in animated conversation, this warmth soon blossomed into love."'''

Arbeia smiles.

'''Bakarus regretfully narrates, "However much Egan loved spending these weeks with Leya, he knew it would soon be time to return home."'''

'''Peatwyn hopefully says, "Leya, my... my love." He takes Naamit's hand in his and holds it to his chest. "I must return home to assure my family that I am well."'''

'''Peatwyn begs, "Please... come with me."'''

Naamit shakes her head and turns away.

'''Naamit recites sadly:'''

''' "No... I cannot go with you. I am forbidden to leave the forest by my father."'''

'''Naamit promises, "Instead, let us meet again in one moon's time. I can speak to him, and we may do this the right way."'''

''Naamit's expression softens as she gazes at Peatwyn.''

'''Naamit says, "It must be enough, for now. Until then, I shall see you in my dreams, and there I shall be united with the one I love."'''

''Naamit and Peatwyn embrace as the stage behind Bakarus goes dark with a sudden rush of activity from unseen stagehands.''

Lylia leans forward.

Naamit rubs her glass amulet.
Naamit suddenly disappears.

Arbeia smiles.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Egan returned home with his heart full of joy. He would see his friends and family again and reunite with his newfound love soon."'''

'''Bakarus concernedly narrates, "Yet as Egan drew closer to home, he noticed houses shuttered against the night instead of blazing with candlelight. All was quiet, unnervingly so..."'''

You are visible again.

'''Bakarus continues, "Though happy to be home, Egan sensed something was amiss with his family, especially as his father met him in the courtyard beneath a still and silent sky."'''

You turn to face Peatwyn.

Ibar rubs his chin thoughtfully.

''Aenternoll goes to embrace his son, clapping him on the back before holding him by the shoulders to get a good look at him in the wan light of a gibbous Liabo.''

Riend rubs her hands together anxiously, working her thumb distractedly over her elegant fingers.

Zeminar shifts his eyes to you.

Luxelle gulps.

'''Peatwyn concernedly asks, "Father, speak truly... everyone I have passed seems anxious and worried, if they even venture out of their homes at all to speak. What is wearing on them?"'''

Jaired wrings his hands.

'''You recite fearfully:'''

''' "We have learned that an army of undead is amassing nearby for an attack on our town."'''

Arbeia frowns.

''Aenternoll drops one hand from Peatwyn's shoulder and squeezes his forearm firmly.''

'''You imploringly continue, "Now... I know you have just returned, and I see from your bearing that you have been hurt, but please stay and fight."'''

'''Peatwyn says, "The one who healed me needs me too. I made a promise that I would return to her when Liabo grows again."'''

'''You argue, "I know you are not quite seasoned in combat, and I can see how new love draws you elsewhere, but your sword will be welcomed."'''

'''You emphatically stress, "We will need all the warriors we can muster if we are to have a chance."'''

Peatwyn frets.

Peatwyn clenches his jaw.

Peatwyn takes a deep breath.

'''Peatwyn considers, "I..."'''

Peatwyn nods slowly.

''Peatwyn turns to face Aenternoll.''

Kothos gazes with interest at Peatwyn.

'''Peatwyn confidently confirms, "I will do as you ask of me, Father."'''

You smile.

'''Peatwyn resolutely continues, "I will help defend our town. We will repel the undead, protect those that we love, and bring honor to our family."'''

'''Peatwyn confidently assures, "And when this is over and done, I shall return to my love, meeting in the forest as promised... She will see her love covered in glory."'''

Arelder ponders.

Rahj sighs.

'''Bakarus recites, "And... scene!"'''

''Bakarus brings his hand down in a sweeping gesture as the lights dim before the beginning of the second act.''

Kothos smiles.

You rub your glass amulet.
1d100: 40 + Modifiers: 154 == 194

You become invisible.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Jaired slowly empties his lungs.

Peatwyn rubs his glass amulet.

Peatwyn suddenly disappears.

Missoni bites her lip.

Luxelle says, "Oh, my."

Lylia bites her lip.

'''Bakarus says, "Let us pause one moment for a very small intermission...a minute or two."'''

Luxelle shifts her weight.

'''Bakarus says, "I hope everyone enjoyed Act One."'''

Bakarus smiles.

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Rahj exclaims, "This has been most entertaining so far!"

Jaired nods at Bakarus.

Ibar smiles.

Missoni nods appreciatively at Bakarus.

Keirloran nods in agreement.

Lylia nods enthusiastically!

You notice Zeminar slip into a hiding place.

Littlemelody says, "It's something I could watch many times."

Kothos grins.

''Bakarus gives a stagehand a nudge toward a mislaid prop and turns back to the audience.''

Cryheart smiles.

Bakarus shifts his weight.

Kothos begins chuckling at Bakarus!

''Bakarus clears his throat, drawing attention back to the stage.''

Arbeia turns to face Bakarus.

Arelder turns to face Bakarus.

'''Bakarus muses, "Where did we leave off? Ahh, yes..."'''

Peatwyn suddenly fades into view.

Peatwyn removes a bone-hilted vaalorn longsword from in his scarlet leather scabbard.

Cryheart walks over to the bench and settles down.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"So, as he had promised, Egan marched to war."'''

Arelder turns to face Bakarus.

Traiva gazes at Bakarus.

Jaired turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

''Peatwyn marches around the stage dramatically. He feints at invisible foes as offstage, zombie moans arise from the stagehands.''

Luxelle turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

Missoni nods grimly.

Tikba takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

'''Bakarus continues, "Still green but full of optimism, he dreamed of great victories in battle as bold young lovers often do."'''

Riend tilts her head toward Bakarus, examining him intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.

'''Bakarus expounds, "As the first stages of battle unfolded, there were a handful of light skirmishes which further boosted young Egan's confidence."'''

''Peatwyn swings his blade about in wild flourishes. A dark moon rises and then sets over the imagined battlefield as the undead groans grow quieter. Candles behind the painted forest scrim mimic the coming dawn.''

Ibar smiles.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Egan would begin that fateful day,'''
'''With a pitched battle imminent,'''
'''Reciting his morning prayers."'''

'''Bakarus softly continues, "Yet his thoughts wandered to Leya."'''

Arelder ponders.

Peatwyn kneels down and begins to recite prayers.

Bakarus gives a sidelong glance at Peatwyn.

'''Peatwyn murmurs, "Leya, my love. We will end this today, and I will return to your side."'''

'''Peatwyn confidently says, "I know I am in your thoughts as you are in mine, and this gives me courage and lends me strength."'''

'''Peatwyn passionately vows, "We will reunite soon."'''

Peatwyn stands up.

Peatwyn tightens his grip on his vaalorn longsword.

''Peatwyn makes his way offstage, determination written in every line of his furrowed brow.''

Peatwyn rubs his glass amulet.

Peatwyn suddenly disappears.

Bakarus smirks.

'''Bakarus sighs, "Ah... love."'''

Yunni gazes heavenward.

'''Bakarus briskly narrates, "Meanwhile, in the forest where they first met..."'''

Cryheart places a hand over his heart.

Naamit suddenly fades into view.

Arbeia turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

''Bakarus gives a small nod and the candles behind the scrim go dark, revealing the enchanted forest once again.''

Bakarus glances at Naamit.

Lylia glances at a lushly painted forest backdrop in deep perspective accented with a lone pale grey night heron feather in the foreground.

'''Bakarus narrates, "The day of the rendezvous came and went. Leya waited nervously at the predetermined spot, waiting for any sign of Egan..."'''

Naamit glances nervously around the room.

''Naamit twists the hem of her garment between anxious fingers, her gaze focused in the distance.''

'''Bakarus anxiously continues, "Day passed and night came, and passed again in its turn. Leya made herself as comfortable as she could beside the pool and drifted off to restless dreams."'''

Naamit lies down.

Naamit closes her eyes for a moment.

'''Bakarus hisses, "The next morning as the sun rose, Leya woke with a start!"'''

Naamit snaps her fingers.

'''Bakarus fearfully narrates, "Leya had a bit of her mother's gift of foresight, and panic gripped her. She sensed even in her sleep that Egan was in terrible danger!"'''

Naamit's eyes widen as she trembles in quiet panic.

Naamit moves to a kneeling position.

''Naamit makes her way on hands and knees to the pool, where she had first found the wounded elf. She stares into the still waters, eyes widening in performative fear.''

'''Naamit horrifiedly chokes out, "I see... the fires, the camp! All destroyed. Where is... Oh, my beloved NO!"'''

Ryans inclines his ear, listening intently.

Naamit snarls menacingly!

''Naamit puts a hand to the hilt of her blade.''

'''Bakarus ominously narrates, "The vision was crystal clear and very real."'''

Arbeia frowns.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Egan was surrounded by his Elven companions,'''
'''But they were vastly outnumbered by the army of the dead,'''
''' Which was slowly encircling them."'''

Ibar winces.

'''Bakarus continues, "They came in unending waves that were soon going to overwhelm the brave Elven warriors, never tiring, never yielding..."'''

Luxelle frets.

Kothos slowly empties his lungs.

Naamit stands up.

''Naamit strides away from the pond, her hands knotted into fists and her expression contorting into lethal fury.''

Cryheart fidgets.

'''Naamit calls, "Rigaetha, to me!"'''

''Naamit gives a shrill whistle to summon her mount and strides to the front of the stage in a galloping motion.''

Cryheart mutters undead.

'''Bakarus exclaims, "In a fit of blinding rage, Leya urged her steed Rigaetha to a gallop, steering him toward the barrier of the forest!"'''

Ibar shakes his head, clucking his tongue.

Arelder nods once at Cryheart.

'''Bakarus urgently continues, "The pain of crossing through the magical field caused her to cry out in agony, but nothing was going to stop her."'''

Naamit roars!

Bakarus rubs his chin thoughtfully.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Now, Kai had felt and heard all this and rushed towards the forest, but he knew he would be too late."'''

'''Bakarus sorrowfully continues, "Leya had already broken through the barrier and he was too far away, fully engaged with the war against Despana."'''

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Leya had now arrived in her beloved's ancestral lands,'''
''' Descending upon the battle like a tempest,'''
'''Filled equally with fear for her beloved,'''
''' And with hatred for the shambling evil that threatened him."'''

Naamit deftly removes the black ora longsword from her swordbelt.

The shadows darken and lengthen from Naamit's black ora longsword and wrap around her hand.

As Naamit raises her black ora longsword, the shadows swirl upward and race off of it and ascend high above, darkening the room. After a moment, they recede and return to the longsword, which flickers with pulses of greenish-black essence.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Without a thought of caution, she unsheathed Soulingen with a blood lust so strong that it awakened the mighty weapon."'''

Naamit looses a ghastly, keening wail!

''Naamit strides forth, the sound of her ululation amplifying with the curve of the amphitheater like bats seeking escape from a sudden mortal terror.''

'''Bakarus exclaims, "The fury consumed her!"'''

As Naamit waves the black ora longsword around, shadows swirl from it, momentarily obscuring Naamit from view. A sibilant hiss is heard from within the gloom.

Tikba gazes with interest at Naamit.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"With the daughter of Kai on their side,'''
'''The Elves turned the tide and won the day!"'''

You are visible again.

Peatwyn suddenly fades into view.

Peatwyn lets out a cheer!

You let out a cheer!

Cryheart lets out a cheer!

'''Speaking in Elven, you exclaim, "For the pride of the Vaalor!"'''

Jaired slowly empties his lungs.

Bakarus glances around the room.

''Aenternoll moves off stage, celebrating the victory with elven comrades.''

You rub your glass amulet.

'''Bakarus whispers aloud, "But unbeknownst to Leya, Luukos, Lord of Death and Lies, has also arrived on the battlefield that day."'''

Arelder takes a moment to observe Bakarus.

Zeminar comes out of hiding.

''Bakarus turns toward the far side of the stage where the candles are winking out, one by one, as a dark figure passes before them.''

Luxelle shudders.

''Zeminar moves slowly onto the stage, barely distinguishable from the shadows behind him.''

Lylia shifts her eyes to Zeminar.

Jaired leans forward.

Grhim smiles ever so slightly.

Ordim scowls.

Bakarus glances at Zeminar.

Bakarus smiles with sinister intent, the expression half-hidden in the gloom.

Yunni frowns.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Luukos hid in the shadows, watching and laughing, seeing to it that Egan was disguised in Leya's eyes to appear as one of the enemy."'''

Zeminar cackles deep in his throat, his voice rising in chilling laughter.

Ibar gazes heavenward.

'''Bakarus recites excitedly:'''

'''"And as such...'''
''' In her blindness,'''
'''Leya slew Egan!"'''

Cryheart winces.

Luxelle gasps.

Obviously overcome, Riend gives a quiet gasp.

Ibar nods slowly.

Yunni winces.

Kothos looks thoughtfully at Bakarus.

Naamit turns to face Peatwyn.

Arbeia sighs.

Naamit growls at Peatwyn.

Riend clasps her hand over her mouth.

Jaired coughs.

Peatwyn raises his hands toward Naamit in surrender!

Naamit reverses her grip on her black ora longsword and darts toward Peatwyn at an angle!
[SMR result: 203 (Open d100: 35)]
Sidling in close, she drags the blade across the back of Peatwyn's left arm!
... 20 points of damage!
Powerful slash just cracks Peatwyn's shield arm!
He is stunned!
Peatwyn starts to favor his wounded left arm!

Naamit rotates her wrist, her black ora longsword executing a casual spin as she advances upon Peatwyn!
[SMR result: 183 (Open d100: -3, Bonus: 40)]
Naamit's flashing blade, hypnotic in its fluidity, slices toward Peatwyn at the apex of its deadly arc!
AS: +529 vs DS: -6 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +69 = +645
... and hits for 282 points of damage!
Blast to Peatwyn's head destroys left eye!
Brain obliterated!
Disgusting, but painful only for a second.

''' * Peatwyn drops dead at your feet!'''

A small human child cries out, "Murder!". His mother then sends him off for the night watchman.

The mesmerizing sway of body and blade glides to its inevitable end with one final twirl of Naamit's black ora longsword.

Someone screams, "Murder by Naamit! Call the night watchman!"

''' * Peatwyn just bit the dust!'''

Arbeia glances at Peatwyn.

Arbeia shakes her head.

'''Bakarus narrates, "As Egan fell, the disguise Luukos had placed on him fell away, revealing to Leya what she had done."'''

Missoni fidgets.

Kothos stares at Peatwyn's lifeless body, apparently lost in thought.

''Zeminar watches with apparent satisfaction before melting into the shadows once more.''

Luxelle holds her breath.

Speaking naively to Arbeia, Arelder whispers aloud, "Good effects..."

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.

The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

Tikba nods slowly.

Arbeia agrees with Arelder.

Zeminar rubs his putrid ether, causing shadows to coalesce and enshroud him completely.

Arbeia grins at Arelder.

The night watchman, leading a group of deputies, strides swiftly in.

With great ease, the night watchman grabs Naamit and shackles her wrists.

"Aha, Varlet! I have you!" the night watchman cries out.
The night watchman then drags her off.

Arbeia rubs Arelder tenderly.

Arbeia smiles.

Cryheart blinks.

Ordim waves.

Greatorex blinks.

Tikba glances out.

'''Bakarus says, "Perhaps one moment."'''

Bakarus grins wryly.

Greatorex forces Peatwyn's mouth open, and pours in a small amount from his azurite flask.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Peatwyn, then fades into the body.

You are visible again.

You glance at Bakarus.

Arbeia chuckles to herself.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.

The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

You glance at Peatwyn.

Speaking to himself, Ordim whispers aloud, "That must be the special guest."

You shrug.

Ordim fidgets.

'''You say, "That hasn't happened before...."'''

Speaking surreptitiously to Lylia, Tikba says, "Your doorman is not very effective."

Kothos begins chuckling at Ordim!

Arbeia nods at Ordim.

Arelder frowns.

'''You ask, "Who wrote this?"'''

You glance around the room.

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "Terrible."'''

You rub Peatwyn.

Lylia quietly notes, "He is not usually going to bar the night watchman."

Arelder stands up.

Arelder takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

Kothos nods at Lylia.

Arbeia glances at Peatwyn.

Arbeia frowns.

Arelder glances at Arbeia.

Arbeia shrugs at Arelder.

Arelder turns to face Peatwyn.

Speaking to Lylia, Kothos says, "After all, we did nearly burn down the banyan..."

'''You say, "I am sure our Leya will return shortly."'''

Kothos glances at a tall wooden double-doored portal.

You smile.

Arelder sits down next to Arbeia.

Jaired nods to you.

Greatorex says, "Was that part of the play."

Arbeia smiles at Arelder.

You glance at a tall wooden double-doored portal.

Arelder frowns.

Luxelle touches one finger to her lips.

Riend slowly empties her lungs.

Arbeia rubs Arelder tenderly.

'''Bakarus says, "There was much grieving for Egan."'''

Arbeia nods.

'''Bakarus says, "I think."'''

Arbeia agrees with Bakarus.

Bakarus ponders.

You nod at Bakarus.

Luxelle nods at Bakarus.

Tikba nods understandingly at Bakarus.

Kothos says, "It extends over the course of a few minutes..."

Arelder glances between Bakarus and Peatwyn.

'''Speaking to Bakarus, you ask, "Did we hire an understudy?"'''

Arbeia starts chuckling at you!

Speaking quietly to Lylia, Kothos says, "Long enough for a certain Kindred's trial..."

Missoni murmurs, "One would think the law would appreciate good theatre."

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "Was not in the budget."'''

Missoni shakes her head, clucking her tongue.

Arbeia snickers at Bakarus.

Jaired nods at Missoni.

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "We are poor, humble people."'''

Kothos laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement from Missoni.

Riend agrees with Missoni.

'''Speaking to Lylia, you ask, "You know the lines correct?"'''

Arbeia gazes heavenward.

Ibar grins.

You glance at Lylia.

Ibar chuckles.

Arbeia turns to face Arelder.

Lylia blinks.

Arbeia rolls her eyes.

Arbeia leans softly against Arelder.

''Bakarus watches the scene with a look of deep sorrow on his face. His hands are folded before him.''

Speaking to Missoni, Kothos says, "A regretably humorless institution."

Grhim says, "This town has never appreciated the dramatic."

Ibar grins at Missoni.

Tikba appears to be struggling to keep a straight face as she glances at Bakarus.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Because of the power it contains,'''
''' Egan's soul was now a part of Soulingen."'''

Speaking to Grhim, Traiva agrees, "Not at all."

You nod at Bakarus.

Lylia says, "I do, but I am not exactly prepared..."

'''Bakarus sadly resolves, "There would be no hope of resurrection."'''

Bakarus appears lost in thought.

Madam Naamit strides in through a tall wooden double-doored portal with fluid grace, each footstep leaving behind a faintly glowing, murky sanguine eagle feather that twirls in her wake.

Naamit clears her throat.

Luxelle hangs her head.

Bakarus's black ora prayerbeads pulses and he looks a bit more vitalized.

You let out a cheer!

Ordim applauds politely.

Bakarus applauds.

Bakarus turns to Naamit and cheers!

Grhim applauds Naamit.

'''You say, "Our Leya has returned to us."'''

Riend gives a sidelong glance at Jaired.

Yunni leans softly against Ibar.

Naamit fans herself.

Kothos says, "Grief has kept her silent, clearly."

Traiva praises Naamit.

Ibar grins at Yunni.

Naamit clears her throat.

Cryheart whistles tunelessly to himself.

Lylia gives a sigh of relief.

Arelder frowns.

Kothos gazes with awe at Naamit.

You nod at Naamit.

Yunni grins at Naamit.

'''You say, "We'll take it from the top."'''

Ibar shakes his head, clucking his tongue.

You nod at Naamit.

Naamit begins chuckling at Aerelean!

Arelder gazes blankly at you.

Naamit falls to her knees beside the body of Peatwyn and wails mournfully!

Naamit cries in pain, her face contorted in torment as she weeps.

You rub your glass amulet.
Feels smooth!

''Bakarus watches the scene with a look of deep sorrow on his face. His hands are folded before him.''

Riend furrows her brow.

''Naamit collapses next to Peatwyn, cradling his lifeless body.''

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Because of the power it contains,'''
'''Egan's soul was now a part of Soulingen."'''

Tikba gazes admiringly at Naamit.

'''Bakarus sadly resolves, "There would be no hope of resurrection."'''

Bakarus appears lost in thought.

'''Bakarus thoughtfully continues, "Leya stayed next to Egan for some time, keeping vigil."'''

Naamit dabs at the outer corners of her eyes, then looks off into the distance.

Naamit stands up.

Naamit nods once.

'''Naamit somberly vows, "I will bring you to the place where we first met, my love."'''

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Legends say that it was at the bluff,'''
''' By the pool where they first met,'''
'''That Leya built Egan's tomb."'''

Ibar smiles.

Peatwyn's body jerks and trembles involuntarily, his muscles no longer controlled by his brain.

''Bakarus moves toward the tussock of grass that first concealed Peatwyn's body, passing it on his way to the other side of the stage. His gaze directs the audience's attention to Naamit at center stage, softly haloed in light.''

Jaired sniffs.

Riend gets a blank look on her face.

'''Bakarus stoically continues, "When Leya was done, atop a crown of boulders in what had once been a magical forest created by her father, she sealed Egan's tomb and whispered a final goodbye."'''

''Naamit stacks some stones with apparent effort, completing the top of a cairn. She gazes over the tomb for a few moments.''

'''Naamit forlornly whispers aloud, "Goodbye my love..."'''

Naamit stares at her black ora longsword.

'''Naamit angrily commands, "And you! May you never tempt others with your seductive bloodlust again!"'''

Cryheart sniffs.

Kothos gazes with interest at Naamit.

Luxelle sighs.

''Naamit casts Soulingen aside in anger.''

'''Naamit exaggeratedly swears, "I shall never hold aught but a simple dagger for the rest of my days!"'''

Arbeia sighs.

Bakarus nods knowingly.

The shadows surrounding Naamit's black ora longsword wrap tighter around her hand.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Unbeknownst to her, that utterance acted as an incantation and forever bound the discarded blade upon the black marble surface, where it may still be seen today."'''

Bakarus stares at Naamit.

Bakarus smiles sadly.

'''Bakarus solemnly continues, "Kai waited for Leya's sorrow to abate, but it never did..."'''

'''Bakarus quietly narrates, "Leya wandered the lands for many cycles of the moons, grief her only companion."'''

'''Bakarus forcefully concludes, "She was confronted with the power of Luukos and for all her gifts, she was powerless to do anything about it."'''

Arelder frowns.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

''' "Thus we conclude the tragic tale of Leya and Egan."'''

Yunni lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Luxelle sighs.

Arbeia sighs.

Jaired shakes his head.

Grhim adopts an agreeable expression.

Bakarus smiles and takes a deep breath that sounds a good bit like a hiss.

Cryheart slowly empties his lungs.

''Cryheart waves one of Peatwyn's arms.''

Ibar whispers aloud, "Truely dedicated to the role.."

Ibar glances at Peatwyn.

Riend slowly empties her lungs.

Lylia nods at Ibar.

The ghostly voice of Peatwyn says, "What matters most is the craft."

Zeminar nods at Bakarus.

Ibar breaks out in a silly grin.

You smile at Peatwyn.

Kothos touches Peatwyn.

Jaired applauds Zeminar.

Tikba nods slowly at Peatwyn.

Speaking to Peatwyn, Traiva says, "And you have truly dedicated yourself to it."

2025-09-03T03:14:36Z

THADROOP: The Play of Leya and Egan Transcript

[[The Order of Eternal Light]] presented a unique revival of that most tragic tale of star-crossed lovers, [[Leya]] and Egan. Below you will find a transcript of the play.

''(Ambient messaging, some player actions and non-related conversation have been removed to improve clarity.)''

==Event Log==
<pre{{log2}}>

'''Bakarus serenely says, "Eternal light all."'''

Bakarus smiles and makes his way toward the stage, glancing briefly at the attendants snuffing the house lights. By the time he reaches the center of it, the amphitheater is largely dark, drawing all attention to the brightly lit stage.

'''Bakarus introduces, "I am Bakarus Klysus, a humble pilgrim who is fortunate to have the privilege of representing the Order this evening."'''

'''Bakarus appreciatively expresses, "But first, a very deserved thank you to Chatalaine Traiva and House Brigatta for making this possible. Sister Traiva, if you are in the room, thank you. You are the best of us."'''

Bakarus coughs.

Bakarus suddenly loses his balance and stumbles a bit to the left before righting himself.

You smile at Traiva.

Bakarus coughs.

Traiva turns toward Bakarus and flutters her wings out wide for Bakarus to see.

Zeminar nods once.

Riend nods approvingly at Traiva.

Tikba smiles at Traiva.

'''Bakarus apologizes, "Please excuse me. My constitution is not what it once was."'''

Bakarus rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Missoni nods sympathetically.

'''Bakarus wonders, "Now, where was I? Ahh, yes..."'''

'''Bakarus proclaims, "Tonight! I will be your narrator as we reenact that most tragic tale, the tale of Leya and Egan."'''

Lylia leans forward and rests her chin in her hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Tikba gazes with interest at Bakarus.

'''Bakarus excitedly introduces, "Our titular roles of Leya and Egan will be played by Madam Naamit and Master Peatwyn this evening. And of course, perhaps a special guest or two..."'''

'''Bakarus implores, "Please... let's give them a round of applause to help steel their nerves."'''

Aerelean applauds.

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Jaired applauds.

Ryans applauds warmly.

Littlemelody applauds.

'''Bakarus dramatically whispers aloud, "So... without further ado..."'''

Lylia folds her hands in her lap.

Zeminar agrees with Cryheart.

Cryheart nods at Zeminar.

''Bakarus waves his hand toward the darkened stage behind him. He slowly moves to stage left as he talks.''

Speaking quietly to Cryheart, Jaired says, "No spoilers."

Cryheart clasps his hand over his mouth.

Cryheart mumbles something under his breath.

'''Bakarus recites grandiosely:'''

''' "Today... most only know Leya as the daughter of mighty Kai and the elf, Learya."'''

Jaired starts chortling.

Arbeia turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

Riend gazes in amusement at Cryheart.

'''Bakarus recites knowingly:'''

''' "Fearsome in battle, she is often associated with wielding but a simple ivory-hilted dagger."'''

'''Bakarus recites trepidatiously:'''

''' "Though... '''

''' There is one tale."'''

Bakarus smiles.

Kothos takes a moment to observe Bakarus.

Jaired turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

'''Bakarus recites ominously:'''

''' "Where she wielded a different blade..."'''

Arelder leans forward.

Arelder gazes with interest at Bakarus.

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Bakarus pulls his black ora longsword out of its troll-arm sheath accompanied by a wet squishy sound.

'''Speaking longingly to his black ora longsword, Bakarus whispers aloud, "A certain sword by the name of Soulingen..."'''

''Bakarus's voice goes hoarse as he gazes at the blade as if transfixed.''

Bakarus blinks.

''Bakarus glances up as if only noticing the audience again and grins.''

Arbeia takes a moment to observe Bakarus.

'''Bakarus recites playfully:'''

'''"This, dear friends, is where our story truly begins..."'''

''Bakarus steps to the left side of the stage in a halo of candlelight, revealing the work of the stagehands assembling scenery in the background.''

Arbeia nods at Bakarus.

Luxelle inclines her ear, listening intently.

'''Bakarus whimsically narrates, "As Leya often did, she was wandering through the forest to a pool she knew well where she could enjoy quiet contemplation."'''

Naamit comes out of hiding.

''Naamit strides from behind a painted scrim at stage right. Reaching a tussock of grass near center stage, she stops and stares at something near it.''

Bakarus glances at Naamit.

Jaired leans forward.

Lylia turns to face Naamit.

'''Bakarus narrates, "However, this day would be different. Lying next to the pool was an elf."'''

Kothos gazes with interest at Naamit.

Tikba takes a drink from her honeysuckle liramea.
CS: +300 - TD: +300 + CvA: +15 + d100: +27 == +42
Warded off!

Peatwyn suddenly fades into view.

''Peatwyn stirs and groans as if in pain.''

Arbeia takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

Peatwyn sits down.

Kothos gazes in awe at Peatwyn.

''Peatwyn struggles to stand, but can only manage to pull himself to a seated position. The effort seems to have taken all his energy.''

Tikba glances between Naamit and Peatwyn.

Peatwyn hangs his head.

'''Bakarus earnestly narrates, "Leya almost turned to leave, but catching a glimpse of his face... his beauty drew her to him."'''

''Naamit takes a few cautious steps toward the slumped figure, her hand outstretched toward him.''

''Peatwyn struggles to stay conscious, his breathing ragged from his wounds.''

''Naamit hesitates a moment longer before biting her lip in consternation. She rushes to the elf's side and assesses his wounds.''

Yunni leans forward.

Peatwyn moans.

Riend bites her lip.

Naamit frets.

''Naamit rips a strip of hem from her linen tunic and tries to staunch the blood, tending his injuries as best she can.''

'''Naamit desperately laments, "Oh, the blood, so much blood... I cannot bear this! Spirits, hear me!"'''

''Naamit beseeches the spirits of the forest for aid in a keening, haunting cry.''

''Peatwyn slowly opens his eyes as the pain begins to subside.''

Zeminar turns an inquisitive ear toward Naamit.

''Peatwyn smiles weakly at Naamit.''

Arbeia leans forward.

''Naamit helps Peatwyn slowly to his feet. He steadies himself on her shoulder, and they move at a halting pace toward stage right.''

'''Bakarus narrates, "The two departed on the short journey to Leya's woodland home where Egan might continue his recovery."'''

''Bakarus raises his voice slightly to disguise the muffled footsteps of stagehands changing out scenery behind him.''

Peatwyn stands up.

'''Bakarus continues, "By the time the couple reached her home, Egan was nearly healed, although still weakened from his ordeal. Without Gosaena's sickle above him, he was now able to see Leya clearly."'''

Yunni leans forward.

'''Bakarus quietly adds, "And he was enchanted."'''

Peatwyn glances appreciatively at Naamit.

Missoni smiles.

'''Peatwyn charmingly says, "I have forgotten my manners. Forgive me for not introducing myself to my savior sooner. My name is Egan of House Vaalor."'''

Peatwyn smiles and offers a courteous bow, wincing slightly at his healing wounds.

'''Peatwyn explains, "As I was attempting to enter an old sorcerer's tower, I was discovered. Deathly spells were cast at me, causing me to fall from the battlements."

Peatwyn whispers aloud, "The next thing I remember... is waking up near the lake with you taking care of me."'''

Peatwyn gazes fondly at Naamit.

Naamit nods understandingly.

''Naamit covers his hand with hers, and the two freeze in tableau as Bakarus picks up the thread of the story.''

Arelder takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

'''Bakarus narrates, "What Egan did not know was that the sorcerer had taken pity upon him and teleported him to the lake, knowing that Leya would find him."'''

'''Bakarus continues, "As the two grew to know each other over the passing days and Egan regained his strength, a deeper fondness set in."'''

'''Bakarus earnestly narrates, "Each stealing glances at the other, spending afternoons in animated conversation, this warmth soon blossomed into love."'''

Arbeia smiles.

'''Bakarus regretfully narrates, "However much Egan loved spending these weeks with Leya, he knew it would soon be time to return home."'''

'''Peatwyn hopefully says, "Leya, my... my love." He takes Naamit's hand in his and holds it to his chest. "I must return home to assure my family that I am well."'''

'''Peatwyn begs, "Please... come with me."'''

Naamit shakes her head and turns away.

'''Naamit recites sadly:'''

''' "No... I cannot go with you. I am forbidden to leave the forest by my father."'''

'''Naamit promises, "Instead, let us meet again in one moon's time. I can speak to him, and we may do this the right way."'''

''Naamit's expression softens as she gazes at Peatwyn.''

'''Naamit says, "It must be enough, for now. Until then, I shall see you in my dreams, and there I shall be united with the one I love."'''

''Naamit and Peatwyn embrace as the stage behind Bakarus goes dark with a sudden rush of activity from unseen stagehands.''

Lylia leans forward.

Naamit rubs her glass amulet.
Naamit suddenly disappears.

Arbeia smiles.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Egan returned home with his heart full of joy. He would see his friends and family again and reunite with his newfound love soon."'''

'''Bakarus concernedly narrates, "Yet as Egan drew closer to home, he noticed houses shuttered against the night instead of blazing with candlelight. All was quiet, unnervingly so..."'''

You are visible again.

'''Bakarus continues, "Though happy to be home, Egan sensed something was amiss with his family, especially as his father met him in the courtyard beneath a still and silent sky."'''

You turn to face Peatwyn.

Ibar rubs his chin thoughtfully.

''Aenternoll goes to embrace his son, clapping him on the back before holding him by the shoulders to get a good look at him in the wan light of a gibbous Liabo.''

Riend rubs her hands together anxiously, working her thumb distractedly over her elegant fingers.

Zeminar shifts his eyes to you.

Luxelle gulps.

'''Peatwyn concernedly asks, "Father, speak truly... everyone I have passed seems anxious and worried, if they even venture out of their homes at all to speak. What is wearing on them?"'''

Jaired wrings his hands.

'''You recite fearfully:'''

''' "We have learned that an army of undead is amassing nearby for an attack on our town."'''

Arbeia frowns.

''Aenternoll drops one hand from Peatwyn's shoulder and squeezes his forearm firmly.''

'''You imploringly continue, "Now... I know you have just returned, and I see from your bearing that you have been hurt, but please stay and fight."'''

'''Peatwyn says, "The one who healed me needs me too. I made a promise that I would return to her when Liabo grows again."'''

'''You argue, "I know you are not quite seasoned in combat, and I can see how new love draws you elsewhere, but your sword will be welcomed."'''

'''You emphatically stress, "We will need all the warriors we can muster if we are to have a chance."'''

Peatwyn frets.

Peatwyn clenches his jaw.

Peatwyn takes a deep breath.

'''Peatwyn considers, "I..."'''

Peatwyn nods slowly.

''Peatwyn turns to face Aenternoll.''

Kothos gazes with interest at Peatwyn.

'''Peatwyn confidently confirms, "I will do as you ask of me, Father."'''

You smile.

'''Peatwyn resolutely continues, "I will help defend our town. We will repel the undead, protect those that we love, and bring honor to our family."'''

'''Peatwyn confidently assures, "And when this is over and done, I shall return to my love, meeting in the forest as promised... She will see her love covered in glory."'''

Arelder ponders.

Rahj sighs.

'''Bakarus recites, "And... scene!"'''

''Bakarus brings his hand down in a sweeping gesture as the lights dim before the beginning of the second act.''

Kothos smiles.

You rub your glass amulet.

Luxelle shifts her weight.

Bakarus smiles.

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Jaired nods at Bakarus.

Ibar smiles.

Keirloran nods in agreement.

''Bakarus gives a stagehand a nudge toward a mislaid prop and turns back to the audience.''

Cryheart smiles.

Bakarus shifts his weight.

Kothos begins chuckling at Bakarus!

''Bakarus clears his throat, drawing attention back to the stage.''

Arbeia turns to face Bakarus.

Arelder turns to face Bakarus.

'''Bakarus muses, "Where did we leave off? Ahh, yes..."'''

Peatwyn suddenly fades into view.

Peatwyn removes a bone-hilted vaalorn longsword from in his scarlet leather scabbard.

Cryheart walks over to the bench and settles down.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"So, as he had promised, Egan marched to war."'''

Arelder turns to face Bakarus.

Traiva gazes at Bakarus.

Jaired turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

''Peatwyn marches around the stage dramatically. He feints at invisible foes as offstage, zombie moans arise from the stagehands.''

Luxelle turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

Missoni nods grimly.

Tikba takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

'''Bakarus continues, "Still green but full of optimism, he dreamed of great victories in battle as bold young lovers often do."'''

Riend tilts her head toward Bakarus, examining him intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.

'''Bakarus expounds, "As the first stages of battle unfolded, there were a handful of light skirmishes which further boosted young Egan's confidence."'''

''Peatwyn swings his blade about in wild flourishes. A dark moon rises and then sets over the imagined battlefield as the undead groans grow quieter. Candles behind the painted forest scrim mimic the coming dawn.''

Ibar smiles.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Egan would begin that fateful day,'''
'''With a pitched battle imminent,'''
'''Reciting his morning prayers."'''

'''Bakarus softly continues, "Yet his thoughts wandered to Leya."'''

Arelder ponders.

Peatwyn kneels down and begins to recite prayers.

Bakarus gives a sidelong glance at Peatwyn.

'''Peatwyn murmurs, "Leya, my love. We will end this today, and I will return to your side."'''

'''Peatwyn confidently says, "I know I am in your thoughts as you are in mine, and this gives me courage and lends me strength."'''

'''Peatwyn passionately vows, "We will reunite soon."'''

Peatwyn stands up.

Peatwyn tightens his grip on his vaalorn longsword.

''Peatwyn makes his way offstage, determination written in every line of his furrowed brow.''

Peatwyn rubs his glass amulet.

Peatwyn suddenly disappears.

Bakarus smirks.

'''Bakarus sighs, "Ah... love."'''

Yunni gazes heavenward.

'''Bakarus briskly narrates, "Meanwhile, in the forest where they first met..."'''

Cryheart places a hand over his heart.

Naamit suddenly fades into view.

Arbeia turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

''Bakarus gives a small nod and the candles behind the scrim go dark, revealing the enchanted forest once again.''

Bakarus glances at Naamit.

Lylia glances at a lushly painted forest backdrop in deep perspective accented with a lone pale grey night heron feather in the foreground.

'''Bakarus narrates, "The day of the rendezvous came and went. Leya waited nervously at the predetermined spot, waiting for any sign of Egan..."'''

Naamit glances nervously around the room.

''Naamit twists the hem of her garment between anxious fingers, her gaze focused in the distance.''

'''Bakarus anxiously continues, "Day passed and night came, and passed again in its turn. Leya made herself as comfortable as she could beside the pool and drifted off to restless dreams."'''

Naamit lies down.

Naamit closes her eyes for a moment.

'''Bakarus hisses, "The next morning as the sun rose, Leya woke with a start!"'''

Naamit snaps her fingers.

'''Bakarus fearfully narrates, "Leya had a bit of her mother's gift of foresight, and panic gripped her. She sensed even in her sleep that Egan was in terrible danger!"'''

Naamit's eyes widen as she trembles in quiet panic.

Naamit moves to a kneeling position.

''Naamit makes her way on hands and knees to the pool, where she had first found the wounded elf. She stares into the still waters, eyes widening in performative fear.''

'''Naamit horrifiedly chokes out, "I see... the fires, the camp! All destroyed. Where is... Oh, my beloved NO!"'''

Ryans inclines his ear, listening intently.

Naamit snarls menacingly!

''Naamit puts a hand to the hilt of her blade.''

'''Bakarus ominously narrates, "The vision was crystal clear and very real."'''

Arbeia frowns.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Egan was surrounded by his Elven companions,'''
'''But they were vastly outnumbered by the army of the dead,'''
''' Which was slowly encircling them."'''

Ibar winces.

'''Bakarus continues, "They came in unending waves that were soon going to overwhelm the brave Elven warriors, never tiring, never yielding..."'''

Luxelle frets.

Kothos slowly empties his lungs.

Naamit stands up.

''Naamit strides away from the pond, her hands knotted into fists and her expression contorting into lethal fury.''

Cryheart fidgets.

'''Naamit calls, "Rigaetha, to me!"'''

''Naamit gives a shrill whistle to summon her mount and strides to the front of the stage in a galloping motion.''

Cryheart mutters undead.

'''Bakarus exclaims, "In a fit of blinding rage, Leya urged her steed Rigaetha to a gallop, steering him toward the barrier of the forest!"'''

Ibar shakes his head, clucking his tongue.

Arelder nods once at Cryheart.

'''Bakarus urgently continues, "The pain of crossing through the magical field caused her to cry out in agony, but nothing was going to stop her."'''

Naamit roars!

Bakarus rubs his chin thoughtfully.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Now, Kai had felt and heard all this and rushed towards the forest, but he knew he would be too late."'''

'''Bakarus sorrowfully continues, "Leya had already broken through the barrier and he was too far away, fully engaged with the war against Despana."'''

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Leya had now arrived in her beloved's ancestral lands,'''
''' Descending upon the battle like a tempest,'''
'''Filled equally with fear for her beloved,'''
''' And with hatred for the shambling evil that threatened him."'''

Naamit deftly removes the black ora longsword from her swordbelt.

The shadows darken and lengthen from Naamit's black ora longsword and wrap around her hand.

As Naamit raises her black ora longsword, the shadows swirl upward and race off of it and ascend high above, darkening the room. After a moment, they recede and return to the longsword, which flickers with pulses of greenish-black essence.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Without a thought of caution, she unsheathed Soulingen with a blood lust so strong that it awakened the mighty weapon."'''

Naamit looses a ghastly, keening wail!

''Naamit strides forth, the sound of her ululation amplifying with the curve of the amphitheater like bats seeking escape from a sudden mortal terror.''

'''Bakarus exclaims, "The fury consumed her!"'''

As Naamit waves the black ora longsword around, shadows swirl from it, momentarily obscuring Naamit from view. A sibilant hiss is heard from within the gloom.

Tikba gazes with interest at Naamit.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"With the daughter of Kai on their side,'''
'''The Elves turned the tide and won the day!"'''

You are visible again.

Peatwyn suddenly fades into view.

Peatwyn lets out a cheer!

You let out a cheer!

Cryheart lets out a cheer!

'''Speaking in Elven, you exclaim, "For the pride of the Vaalor!"'''

Jaired slowly empties his lungs.

Bakarus glances around the room.

''Aenternoll moves off stage, celebrating the victory with elven comrades.''

You rub your glass amulet.
1d100: 15 + Modifiers: 154 == 169

You become invisible.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

'''Bakarus whispers aloud, "But unbeknownst to Leya, Luukos, Lord of Death and Lies, has also arrived on the battlefield that day."'''

Arelder takes a moment to observe Bakarus.

Zeminar comes out of hiding.

''Bakarus turns toward the far side of the stage where the candles are winking out, one by one, as a dark figure passes before them.''

Luxelle shudders.

''Zeminar moves slowly onto the stage, barely distinguishable from the shadows behind him.''

Lylia shifts her eyes to Zeminar.

Jaired leans forward.

Grhim smiles ever so slightly.

Ordim scowls.

Bakarus glances at Zeminar.

Bakarus smiles with sinister intent, the expression half-hidden in the gloom.

Yunni frowns.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Luukos hid in the shadows, watching and laughing, seeing to it that Egan was disguised in Leya's eyes to appear as one of the enemy."'''

Zeminar cackles deep in his throat, his voice rising in chilling laughter.

Ibar gazes heavenward.

'''Bakarus recites excitedly:'''

'''"And as such...'''
''' In her blindness,'''
'''Leya slew Egan!"'''

Cryheart winces.

Luxelle gasps.

Obviously overcome, Riend gives a quiet gasp.

Ibar nods slowly.

Yunni winces.

Kothos looks thoughtfully at Bakarus.

Naamit turns to face Peatwyn.

Arbeia sighs.

Naamit growls at Peatwyn.

Riend clasps her hand over her mouth.

Jaired coughs.

Peatwyn raises his hands toward Naamit in surrender!

Naamit reverses her grip on her black ora longsword and darts toward Peatwyn at an angle!
[SMR result: 203 (Open d100: 35)]
Sidling in close, she drags the blade across the back of Peatwyn's left arm!
... 20 points of damage!
Powerful slash just cracks Peatwyn's shield arm!
He is stunned!
Peatwyn starts to favor his wounded left arm!

Naamit rotates her wrist, her black ora longsword executing a casual spin as she advances upon Peatwyn!
[SMR result: 183 (Open d100: -3, Bonus: 40)]
Naamit's flashing blade, hypnotic in its fluidity, slices toward Peatwyn at the apex of its deadly arc!
AS: +529 vs DS: -6 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +69 = +645
... and hits for 282 points of damage!
Blast to Peatwyn's head destroys left eye!
Brain obliterated!
Disgusting, but painful only for a second.

''' * Peatwyn drops dead at your feet!'''

A small human child cries out, "Murder!". His mother then sends him off for the night watchman.

The mesmerizing sway of body and blade glides to its inevitable end with one final twirl of Naamit's black ora longsword.

Someone screams, "Murder by Naamit! Call the night watchman!"

''' * Peatwyn just bit the dust!'''

Arbeia glances at Peatwyn.

Arbeia shakes her head.

'''Bakarus narrates, "As Egan fell, the disguise Luukos had placed on him fell away, revealing to Leya what she had done."'''

Missoni fidgets.

Kothos stares at Peatwyn's lifeless body, apparently lost in thought.

''Zeminar watches with apparent satisfaction before melting into the shadows once more.''

Luxelle holds her breath.

Speaking naively to Arbeia, Arelder whispers aloud, "Good effects..."

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.

The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

Tikba nods slowly.

Arbeia agrees with Arelder.

Zeminar rubs his putrid ether, causing shadows to coalesce and enshroud him completely.

Arbeia grins at Arelder.

The night watchman, leading a group of deputies, strides swiftly in.

With great ease, the night watchman grabs Naamit and shackles her wrists.

"Aha, Varlet! I have you!" the night watchman cries out.
The night watchman then drags her off.

Arbeia rubs Arelder tenderly.

Arbeia smiles.

Cryheart blinks.

Ordim waves.

Greatorex blinks.

Tikba glances out.

'''Bakarus says, "Perhaps one moment."'''

Bakarus grins wryly.

Greatorex forces Peatwyn's mouth open, and pours in a small amount from his azurite flask.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Peatwyn, then fades into the body.

You are visible again.

You glance at Bakarus.

Arbeia chuckles to herself.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.

The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

You glance at Peatwyn.

Speaking to himself, Ordim whispers aloud, "That must be the special guest."

You shrug.

Ordim fidgets.

'''You say, "That hasn't happened before...."'''

Speaking surreptitiously to Lylia, Tikba says, "Your doorman is not very effective."

Kothos begins chuckling at Ordim!

Arbeia nods at Ordim.

Arelder frowns.

'''You ask, "Who wrote this?"'''

You glance around the room.

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "Terrible."'''

You rub Peatwyn.

Lylia quietly notes, "He is not usually going to bar the night watchman."

Arelder stands up.

Arelder takes a moment to observe Peatwyn.

Kothos nods at Lylia.

Arbeia glances at Peatwyn.

Arbeia frowns.

Arelder glances at Arbeia.

Arbeia shrugs at Arelder.

Arelder turns to face Peatwyn.

Speaking to Lylia, Kothos says, "After all, we did nearly burn down the banyan..."

'''You say, "I am sure our Leya will return shortly."'''

Kothos glances at a tall wooden double-doored portal.

You smile.

Arelder sits down next to Arbeia.

Jaired nods to you.

Greatorex says, "Was that part of the play."

Arbeia smiles at Arelder.

You glance at a tall wooden double-doored portal.

Arelder frowns.

Luxelle touches one finger to her lips.

Riend slowly empties her lungs.

Arbeia rubs Arelder tenderly.

'''Bakarus says, "There was much grieving for Egan."'''

Arbeia nods.

'''Bakarus says, "I think."'''

Arbeia agrees with Bakarus.

Bakarus ponders.

You nod at Bakarus.

Luxelle nods at Bakarus.

Tikba nods understandingly at Bakarus.

Kothos says, "It extends over the course of a few minutes..."

Arelder glances between Bakarus and Peatwyn.

'''Speaking to Bakarus, you ask, "Did we hire an understudy?"'''

Arbeia starts chuckling at you!

Speaking quietly to Lylia, Kothos says, "Long enough for a certain Kindred's trial..."

Missoni murmurs, "One would think the law would appreciate good theatre."

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "Was not in the budget."'''

Missoni shakes her head, clucking her tongue.

Arbeia snickers at Bakarus.

Jaired nods at Missoni.

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "We are poor, humble people."'''

Kothos laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement from Missoni.

Riend agrees with Missoni.

'''Speaking to Lylia, you ask, "You know the lines correct?"'''

Arbeia gazes heavenward.

Ibar grins.

You glance at Lylia.

Ibar chuckles.

Arbeia turns to face Arelder.

Lylia blinks.

Arbeia rolls her eyes.

Arbeia leans softly against Arelder.

''Bakarus watches the scene with a look of deep sorrow on his face. His hands are folded before him.''

Speaking to Missoni, Kothos says, "A regretably humorless institution."

Grhim says, "This town has never appreciated the dramatic."

Ibar grins at Missoni.

Tikba appears to be struggling to keep a straight face as she glances at Bakarus.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Because of the power it contains,'''
''' Egan's soul was now a part of Soulingen."'''

Speaking to Grhim, Traiva agrees, "Not at all."

You nod at Bakarus.

Lylia says, "I do, but I am not exactly prepared..."

'''Bakarus sadly resolves, "There would be no hope of resurrection."'''

Bakarus appears lost in thought.

Madam Naamit strides in through a tall wooden double-doored portal with fluid grace, each footstep leaving behind a faintly glowing, murky sanguine eagle feather that twirls in her wake.

Naamit clears her throat.

Luxelle hangs her head.

Bakarus's black ora prayerbeads pulses and he looks a bit more vitalized.

You let out a cheer!

Ordim applauds politely.

Bakarus applauds.

Bakarus turns to Naamit and cheers!

Grhim applauds Naamit.

'''You say, "Our Leya has returned to us."'''

Riend gives a sidelong glance at Jaired.

Yunni leans softly against Ibar.

Naamit fans herself.

Kothos says, "Grief has kept her silent, clearly."

Traiva praises Naamit.

Ibar grins at Yunni.

Naamit clears her throat.

Cryheart whistles tunelessly to himself.

Lylia gives a sigh of relief.

Arelder frowns.

Kothos gazes with awe at Naamit.

You nod at Naamit.

Yunni grins at Naamit.

'''You say, "We'll take it from the top."'''

Ibar shakes his head, clucking his tongue.

You nod at Naamit.

Naamit begins chuckling at Aerelean!

Arelder gazes blankly at you.

Naamit falls to her knees beside the body of Peatwyn and wails mournfully!

Naamit cries in pain, her face contorted in torment as she weeps.

You rub your glass amulet.
Feels smooth!

''Bakarus watches the scene with a look of deep sorrow on his face. His hands are folded before him.''

Riend furrows her brow.

''Naamit collapses next to Peatwyn, cradling his lifeless body.''

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Because of the power it contains,'''
'''Egan's soul was now a part of Soulingen."'''

Tikba gazes admiringly at Naamit.

'''Bakarus sadly resolves, "There would be no hope of resurrection."'''

Bakarus appears lost in thought.

'''Bakarus thoughtfully continues, "Leya stayed next to Egan for some time, keeping vigil."'''

Naamit dabs at the outer corners of her eyes, then looks off into the distance.

Naamit stands up.

Naamit nods once.

'''Naamit somberly vows, "I will bring you to the place where we first met, my love."'''

'''Bakarus recites:'''

'''"Legends say that it was at the bluff,'''
''' By the pool where they first met,'''
'''That Leya built Egan's tomb."'''

Ibar smiles.

Peatwyn's body jerks and trembles involuntarily, his muscles no longer controlled by his brain.

''Bakarus moves toward the tussock of grass that first concealed Peatwyn's body, passing it on his way to the other side of the stage. His gaze directs the audience's attention to Naamit at center stage, softly haloed in light.''

Jaired sniffs.

Riend gets a blank look on her face.

'''Bakarus stoically continues, "When Leya was done, atop a crown of boulders in what had once been a magical forest created by her father, she sealed Egan's tomb and whispered a final goodbye."'''

''Naamit stacks some stones with apparent effort, completing the top of a cairn. She gazes over the tomb for a few moments.''

'''Naamit forlornly whispers aloud, "Goodbye my love..."'''

Naamit stares at her black ora longsword.

'''Naamit angrily commands, "And you! May you never tempt others with your seductive bloodlust again!"'''

Cryheart sniffs.

Kothos gazes with interest at Naamit.

Luxelle sighs.

''Naamit casts Soulingen aside in anger.''

'''Naamit exaggeratedly swears, "I shall never hold aught but a simple dagger for the rest of my days!"'''

Arbeia sighs.

Bakarus nods knowingly.

The shadows surrounding Naamit's black ora longsword wrap tighter around her hand.

'''Bakarus narrates, "Unbeknownst to her, that utterance acted as an incantation and forever bound the discarded blade upon the black marble surface, where it may still be seen today."'''

Bakarus stares at Naamit.

Bakarus smiles sadly.

'''Bakarus solemnly continues, "Kai waited for Leya's sorrow to abate, but it never did..."'''

'''Bakarus quietly narrates, "Leya wandered the lands for many cycles of the moons, grief her only companion."'''

'''Bakarus forcefully concludes, "She was confronted with the power of Luukos and for all her gifts, she was powerless to do anything about it."'''

Arelder frowns.

'''Bakarus recites:'''

''' "Thus we conclude the tragic tale of Leya and Egan."'''

Yunni lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Luxelle sighs.

Arbeia sighs.

Jaired shakes his head.

Grhim adopts an agreeable expression.

Bakarus smiles and takes a deep breath that sounds a good bit like a hiss.

Missoni breathes, "Wonderful."

Arbeia gives Arelder a lingering kiss on the cheek.

Jaired applauds Naamit.

Yunni praises Bakarus.

Arbeia glances at Peatwyn.

Kothos nods at Peatwyn.

Bakarus bows.

Luxelle says, "What a wondrous telling. I would cheer for the players, but the scene is still so somber in my heart."

Bakarus glances at Peatwyn.

'''Bakarus confidently says, "He would bow if he could."'''

Jaired praises Peatwyn.

Lylia says, "I do not know that I can restore him, but I can allow him to take a bow..."

''Cryheart waves one of Peatwyn's arms.''

Ibar whispers aloud, "Truely dedicated to the role.."

Ibar glances at Peatwyn.

Riend slowly empties her lungs.

Lylia nods at Ibar.

The ghostly voice of Peatwyn says, "What matters most is the craft."

Zeminar nods at Bakarus.

Ibar breaks out in a silly grin.

You smile at Peatwyn.

Kothos touches Peatwyn.

Jaired applauds Zeminar.

Tikba nods slowly at Peatwyn.

THADROOP: Adding the play of Leya and Egan as performed by the Order of Eternal Light

{{creative-work
|title = Keeper Archives
|type = 
|author = The Order of Eternal Light
|author-displayed = [[The Order of Eternal Light]]
|date = 2023-04-08
}}

As a community focused on learning, sharing and research, [[The Order of Eternal Light]] houses their archives at libraries spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire|Empire]]. As part of their mission to further the knowledge of the Arkati, these libraries are made available to the public. Here you will find the most recently submitted documents from the [[Solhaven]] chapter of The Order.

==A Most Important Play==

'''Event:''' The Tragedy of [[Leya]] and Egan 
'''Dates:''' 7/10/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper [[Aenternoll_(prime)|Aenternoll L'Draggor]] 
'''Location:''' Amphitheater, [[House Brigatta]] 

Tonight, we told the story of Leya and Egan as it was meant to be told. Naamit, Peatwyn, Zeminar and Bakarus each gave more than I could have hoped, and the others who supported from the shadows deserve equal thanks. I am grateful to them all. This note is only a glimpse of the evening, and I encourage any who read it to seek the full account in the archives, where the tale is preserved in full detail.

==Frontier Justice==

'''Event:''' The Trial of Bakarus Klysus 
'''Dates:''' 7/6/5122 & 7/9/5122 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper [[Aenternoll_(prime)|Aenternoll L'Draggor]] 
'''Location:''' Clovertooth Hall, Icemule Trace 
'''Presiding Judge:''' [[Teaberry (prime)|Teaberry Wildroot]]

I begin this entry with an apology. In the aftermath of First Pilgrim’s trial, I set these documents aside, and only now, three years later, have I gathered the will to return to them. The delay weighs on me, though perhaps it was inevitable, given how heavy those days felt at the time.

Reading the proceedings again stirs memories I thought had dulled. The people of Icemule Trace, though sincere in their efforts, were steered into a trial that bore little resemblance to justice. That some measure of truth emerged in the end offers a degree of solace, though it does not erase the unease of how it came about. For my part, I cannot help but wonder if our Order’s thirst for knowledge left us exposed, or if the First Pilgrim was unknowingly ensnared in [[Zeban]]’s schemes from the very beginning. I lean toward the latter, yet I know perspective will always shift with time. Perhaps if I revisit these pages in another three years, I will arrive at another conclusion entirely.

The record itself is preserved in two volumes now resting in the Archives. They remain unchanged, even as my own thoughts continue to evolve around them. I suspect that, in time, the Archives will outlast not only our judgments but also the emotions that shaped them. Still, for now, I write to remember and to wrestle, quietly, with what we endured.

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege when our Order can offer support to other organizations we respect. When the invitation came to host a gathering during Winternights for Cairnfang Manor and Solhaven, we did not pause long before agreeing. The halls feel less cold when shared purpose fills them.

First Pilgrim Bakarus, with his usual quiet wisdom, chose the topic well. Kuon, patron of herbs and flowers, so rarely stands in the forefront of our thoughts, and yet his presence threads through nearly every moment of our lives. To speak of him now, in the heart of winter, was to remind us that the frost will not last forever. I find myself clinging to that thought more than I expected.

The formal report has already been placed in the Archives, but here, in these pages, I can admit that I am weary of winter’s long hold. I look to Kuon’s promise of green and bloom as one looks toward a distant shore.

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I find myself unexpectedly impressed. Though I was not able to attend the debate in person, the report makes it clear that Issiah more than held his own... against a [[Magister]] no less! That is no small feat. Magister Raelee’s reputation precedes her: a formidable mind with a seemingly endless command of, well... knowledge itself.

Yet it is not the debate alone that lingers with me, but one particular insight she offered regarding the Erithians. They often honor Lumnis and Fash’lo’nae in tandem, and that thought has settled in my mind with surprising weight. If such a pairing is not only possible but common among them, then perhaps we, too, ought to reconsider the relationships we imagine between Arkati. What other combinations might we have overlooked?

For those who were unable to attend, I strongly encourage requesting a copy of the report. It is well worth the read.

==Ivas Temple Tour==

'''Event:''' [[Ivas]], Two Sides of Temptation 
'''Date:''' 1/20/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Reporter:''' [[Lylia (prime)|Lylia Rashere]] 
'''Location:''' Ivas's temple in the [[Vipershroud]] & the Garden of Desire in Solhaven 
'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

<pre{{log2}}>
Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

'''Event:''' The Trial of Bakarus Klysus 
'''Dates:''' 7/6/5122 & 7/9/5122 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper [[Aenternoll_(prime)|Aenternoll L'Draggor]] 
'''Location:''' Clovertooth Hall, Icemule Trace 
'''Presiding Judge:''' [[Teaberry (prime)|Teaberry Wildroot]]

I begin this entry with an apology. In the aftermath of First Pilgrim’s trial, I set these documents aside, and only now, three years later, have I gathered the will to return to them. The delay weighs on me, though perhaps it was inevitable, given how heavy those days felt at the time.

Reading the proceedings again stirs memories I thought had dulled. The people of Icemule Trace, though sincere in their efforts, were steered into a trial that bore little resemblance to justice. That some measure of truth emerged in the end offers a degree of solace, though it does not erase the unease of how it came about. For my part, I cannot help but wonder if our Order’s thirst for knowledge left us exposed, or if the First Pilgrim was unknowingly ensnared in [[Zeban]]’s schemes from the very beginning. I lean toward the latter, yet I know perspective will always shift with time. Perhaps if I revisit these pages in another three years, I will arrive at another conclusion entirely.

The record itself is preserved in two volumes now resting in the Archives. They remain unchanged, even as my own thoughts continue to evolve around them. I suspect that, in time, the Archives will outlast not only our judgments but also the emotions that shaped them. Still, for now, I write to remember and to wrestle, quietly, with what we endured.

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege when our Order can offer support to other organizations we respect. When the invitation came to host a gathering during Winternights for Cairnfang Manor and Solhaven, we did not pause long before agreeing. The halls feel less cold when shared purpose fills them.

First Pilgrim Bakarus, with his usual quiet wisdom, chose the topic well. Kuon, patron of herbs and flowers, so rarely stands in the forefront of our thoughts, and yet his presence threads through nearly every moment of our lives. To speak of him now, in the heart of winter, was to remind us that the frost will not last forever. I find myself clinging to that thought more than I expected.

The formal report has already been placed in the Archives, but here, in these pages, I can admit that I am weary of winter’s long hold. I look to Kuon’s promise of green and bloom as one looks toward a distant shore.

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I find myself unexpectedly impressed. Though I was not able to attend the debate in person, the report makes it clear that Issiah more than held his own... against a [[Magister]] no less! That is no small feat. Magister Raelee’s reputation precedes her: a formidable mind with a seemingly endless command of, well... knowledge itself.

Yet it is not the debate alone that lingers with me, but one particular insight she offered regarding the Erithians. They often honor Lumnis and Fash’lo’nae in tandem, and that thought has settled in my mind with surprising weight. If such a pairing is not only possible but common among them, then perhaps we, too, ought to reconsider the relationships we imagine between Arkati. What other combinations might we have overlooked?

For those who were unable to attend, I strongly encourage requesting a copy of the report. It is well worth the read.

'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

Kuon, the patron of herbs and flowers, is a lesser known spirit who has an outsized impact on our lives, and in the dead of winter, it never hurts to give a bit of hope towards the coming Spring.

Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

==Frontier Justice==

'''Event:''' The Trial of Bakarus Klysus 
'''Dates:''' 7/6/5122 & 7/9/5122 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper [[Aenternoll_(prime)|Aenternoll L'Draggor]] 
'''Location:''' Clovertooth Hall, Icemule Trace 
'''Presiding Judge:''' [[Teaberry (prime)|Teaberry Wildroot]]

I begin this entry with an apology. In the aftermath of First Pilgrim’s trial, I set these documents aside, and only now, three years later, have I gathered the will to return to them. The delay weighs on me, though perhaps it was inevitable, given how heavy those days felt at the time.

Reading the proceedings again stirs memories I thought had dulled. The people of Icemule Trace, though sincere in their efforts, were steered into a trial that bore little resemblance to justice. That some measure of truth emerged in the end offers a degree of solace, though it does not erase the unease of how it came about.

For my part, I cannot help but wonder if our Order’s thirst for knowledge left us exposed, or if the First Pilgrim was unknowingly ensnared in [[Zeban]]’s schemes from the very beginning. I lean toward the latter, yet I know perspective will always shift with time. Perhaps if I revisit these pages in another three years, I will arrive at another conclusion entirely.

The record itself is preserved in two volumes now resting in the Archives. They remain unchanged, even as my own thoughts continue to evolve around them. I suspect that, in time, the Archives will outlast not only our judgments but also the emotions that shaped them. Still, for now, I write to remember and to wrestle, quietly, with what we endured.

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege for the Order to support other respected organizations. When the opportunity to host an event at Winternights in support of [[Cairnfang Manor]] and Solhaven presented itself, the answer was immediately yes. In his wisdom, First Pilgrim Bakarus knew exactly the topic to present on. Kuon, the patron of herbs and flowers, is a lesser known spirit who has an outsized impact on our lives, and in the dead of winter, it never hurts to give a bit of hope towards the coming Spring.

The report has been filed in the Archives and is now available to be read:

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I am impressed. While I could not personally attend the event, after reading the report, Issiah managed to hold his own against a [[Magister]] no less. Magister Raelee is a formidable debater with a near endless knowledge on the subject of well... knowledge. Having had time to reflect on the report, I am drawn to what Raelee mentioned about the Erithians, how they often worship Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae together. Perhaps there are other Arkati we should consider pairing the same way.

For those who were also unable to attend, request a copy of the report. It is a worthwhile read:

==Ivas Temple Tour==

'''Event:''' [[Ivas]], Two Sides of Temptation 
'''Date:''' 1/20/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Reporter:''' [[Lylia (prime)|Lylia Rashere]] 
'''Location:''' Ivas's temple in the [[Vipershroud]] & the Garden of Desire in Solhaven 
'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

'''Location:''' Clovertooth Hall, Icemule Trace 
'''Presiding Judge:''' [[Teaberry (prime)|Teaberry Wildroot]]

I start this entry with an apology. In the hectic days following First Pilgrim's trial, I placed these documents on the shelf and never came back to them until just now. I hope you will forgive me. With that out of the way...

Reading through these court proceedings, even now with three years to process the events, I find myself getting angry. I know I shouldn't, that I should only feel pity or sadness for the citizens of Icemule Trace as they were the ones who were tricked into this sham of a trial. But perhaps it is just my protective nature wanting to defend our First Pilgrim. Thankfully, in the end, the truth mostly won out.

I will continue to examine the trial and the days leading up to it, looking for lessons that can make myself and the Order better. Did our ardent desire for knowledge and understanding lead us astray in this instance? I still believe no, that First Pilgrim was but an unfortunate pawn in [[Zeban]]'s evil plans. Ask me again in three more years. Perhaps I will have a different answer then.

The events of the trial have been records in two volumes, filed in the Archives for posterity:

2022-07-09 - The Trial of Bakarus Klysus - Day 2 (log)

2025-08-28T03:36:48Z

THADROOP: Creating Volume 2 of the Trial

This is Volume 2, covering Day 2, of the the Trial of Bakarus Klysus held in [[Icemule Trace]] during the month of Koaratos in the year of 5122.

''(Ambient messaging, some player actions and non-related conversation have been removed to improve clarity.)''

==Event Log==
<pre{{log2}}>
A distant crier announces, "The trial of Bakarus Klysus will continue in Clovertooth Hall shortly. Interested parties are welcome to make their way to the auditorium."

Raw cedar timbers perfume the air, comprising the walls of the expansive hall. Living evergreen boughs contrast frame the southern entrance, brightly illuminated by faceted glimaerstone orbs set high into the ceiling. The light scatters over a few dozen rows of comfortably padded seats and rugs covering parts of the polished floor. A central aisle delineated by a quartet of braziers leads toward an expansive cedar and pine stage framed by silver-trimmed blue curtains. You also see the Dendum disk and a stocky snow white puppy with oversized black-tipped paws.
Also here: Bakarus, Zeminar, Mayor Talliver, Hadya, Avaia, Roelon, Dendum who is sitting, Chronicler Opalina who is sitting, Defender of Mist Harbor Teaberry, Merrymaker Gespry who is sitting, Arianiss, Perigourd
Obvious exits: south

Arianiss slowly empties his lungs.

Speaking melodically to Talliver, Gespry asks, "Hows Reiphe doing?"

Speaking quietly to Gespry, Talliver says, "Recovering."

Bakarus says, "Eternal Light, to all."

Talliver asks, "Might I trouble the... active members of the Council for a moment before we begin the trial?"

Bakarus says, "At least I hope the truth will be shown clearly."

The black ora prayerbeads around Bakarus's neck is momentarily engulfed in a shroud of darkness!

The voice of Jiarine offers, "At least the crowd seems less blood thirsty at the moment and much smaller."

Hadya quietly says, "I'm sure you'll have your pint of blood, Scorpion."

Teaberry paces back and forth.

(OOC) Bakarus's player whispers to the group, "Little pre court bump of coke in the bathroom. nice."

Gespry melodically says, "Sorry everyone..we are here.."

Speaking darkly to Talliver, Zeminar asks, "Has the plan been cemented?"

Hadya takes a moment to observe Talliver.

Speaking to Talliver, Jiarine asks, "Are you going to actually stay here this time?"

Jiarine asks, "Or has the important business more important than the trial of our scapegoat?"

Jiarine says, "Scapemule."

Talliver slowly empties his lungs.

Speaking to Teaberry, Talliver says, "I apologize sincerely for the delay."

Zeminar darkly says, "One moment."

Zeminar's group just went south.

Zeminar put a glass of Dhe'nari blood wine in his spidersilk cloak

Speaking to Talliver, Teaberry says, "It's all right. I am curious about what you were talking about..."

Teaberry exclaims, "Anyway. Time to start. Court is now in session!"

Speaking to Teaberry, Perigourd says, "If I'm not mistaken your honor, the defense was in the process of cross-examing former Councilman Arianiss, and attempting to present evidence not mentioned or related to his testimony during his original questioning. We object as per your statement that this is the proper time to introduce such evidence."

Speaking darkly to Arianiss, Zeminar says, "Mr. Winterfox, before the recess, we heard your testimony."

Speaking darkly to Arianiss, Zeminar says, "You stated Mr. Klysus had been possessed by the Lich Zeban."

Arianiss says, "Appeared to be, yes."

Speaking darkly to Arianiss, Zeminar asks, "Mr. Winterfox, are you aware that Mr. Klysus was issued a full apology regarding the forged letter incident?"

Arianiss says, "I am aware, yes."

Zeminar darkly says, "Very good."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Who do you think wrote those letters?"

Arianiss asks, "The ones that were found in Reiphe's home?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Eii."

Arianiss says, "I don't know."

Zeminar darkly says, "Very good. No more questions for Mr. Winterfox, your honor."

Teaberry asks, "Very well, counselor. Does the prosecution have any questions?"

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Were the letters found in Reiphes office ever proven to have been forged through hard evidence?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Mr Winterfox was their witness. He's already been questioned."

Speaking to Zeminar, Perigourd says, "Redirect, sir, redirect."

Teaberry says, "Correct."

Arianiss asks, "Who is correct?"

Teaberry says, "They both are. You were already questioned by the prosecution, and redirect is possible after cross-examination."

Arianiss asks, "So answer the question?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "Can we not moves things along?"

Teaberry says, "Please answer the question, Mr. Winterfox."

Talliver turns an inquisitive ear toward Arianiss.

Speaking to Perigourd, Arianiss says, "I believe the evidence against Reiphe was enough to win over the majority, and hold him for questioning. During his being taken to a more secure location his guards were attacked and he went missing. We assumed he escaped. I do not believe the notes were every verified, one way or another, their authenticity. Were they written by Reiphe? I don't know. Were they written by someone else? I don't know that either."

Perigourd says, "It does seem odd to issue a letter of apology to someone who hasn't been proven innocent of anything."

Perigourd says, "No more questions."

Perigourd says, "I'd like to call Aethyra Winterfox to question."

Bakarus says, "I always thought it was innocent until proven guilty."

Bakarus says, "Odd."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "How are you this eve?"

Speaking hesitantly to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "I'm ok, thank you."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "Can you tell us what you saw the night after the Crimson Legion was drilling in Icemule Trace?"

Aethyra says, "I saw a frightening presence in the shrine of Amasalen, and a pristine copy of the letter in question on the altar there."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "And did this presence speak to you?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "It did."

Perigourd asks, "What did it say?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "The voice said, "A pity, this little discovery of yours. But he was just a catspaw, a distraction for you impudents to toy with while I worked. Run along. Tell them of his treachery if you want. Nothing can halt what I have put into motion now."."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "Now the letter that was found, had you seen the full contents of that letter prior to going to the shrine of Amasalen?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "The full contents, no. Only what was on the smudged copy dropped earlier in the evening."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "Can you repeat what the full contents of the copy you found were?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Objection, irrelevant. We are talking about corrupted evidence here... Talliver confirmed the forged letters."

Perigourd says, "It is hardly irrelevant in establishing credibility to my witness."

Zeminar darkly says, "Credibly with forgeries."

Zeminar darkly says, "Credibility...."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Credibility from a witness at a shrine of... Amasalen?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Indeed..."

Speaking to Zeminar, Perigourd says, "Perhaps you'll wait for your cross-examination, council."

Speaking to Teaberry, Aethyra asks, "Do I answer the question?"

Teaberry says, "Objection overruled. Witness will answer the question. Gentlemen, please, let's keep this moving."

Zeminar darkly says, "Amazing."

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "The letter said Arnabas, I certainly hope this missive finds you well. I wished to report that our sad little town has taken to finding aid from outside sources. Namely the Silver Gryphons and the Vaalorian Legion. A two pronged strategy where half assault your location and half remain in town for safety will be in place. Triage is to be in town center with a fallback at the gates of Voln. How quaint. I am not certain if any of this information is necessary, but I willingly provide it regardless. Your Servant, B."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "You were also present on Niiman, the 27th of Lormesta, the night Reiphe O'Mallory was called in to be questioned by the townsfolk, were you not?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "I was."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "And you presented this same information to the Mayor and the public that night?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "I did."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd asks, "Did Bakarus say anything to you about the matter?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "He whispered to me that I should be careful, that he heard that time in Amasalen's presence could cause one to go insane."

Speaking to Perigourd, Aethyra says, "I have mostly avoided Icemule since, but I keep running into him. I never feel safe in his presence."

Arianiss says, "Hrmm."

Speaking to Aethyra, Perigourd says, "Thank you. No more questions."

Speaking darkly to Aethyra, Zeminar says, "Mrs. Winterfox..."

Speaking darkly to Aethyra, Zeminar asks, "Amasalen is a well known threat in these parts. You felt it odd for a Counsilor to tell you that you could be driven mad?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Aethyra says, "Given the timing and circumstances, his comment felt like a threat and a mockery."

Speaking darkly to Aethyra, Zeminar asks, "Do you feel you are perhaps already driven mad? Spending so much time around these shrines?"

Perigourd says, "Objection, argumentative."

Speaking to Zeminar, Aethyra says, "I do not."

Speaking darkly to Aethyra, Zeminar asks, "The letter.. Signed with a B... Along with the forgeries. Are you certain that letter is from my client?"

Imperatrix Lylia just arrived.

Speaking to Zeminar, Aethyra says, "As I did not see him write it, I cannot swear to it, but I do know that he was the only one to hear the information contained in that letter and that he was the only one present when the information was whispered whose name starts with a B."

Talliver nods with satisfaction.

Speaking darkly to Aethyra, Zeminar asks, "We don't know who wrote it. Would you say it's reasonable that my client is being framed?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Aethyra says, "I do not believe that is a reasonable assumption, no. No one heard that information in order to frame him."

Speaking darkly to Aethyra, Zeminar asks, "And, could you elaborate on the "private" information?"

Zeminar whispers to the group, "No further questions after this."

Perigourd says, "Objection, Arianiss already estalbished the private discussion in his testimony as to what was discussed and how."

Speaking to Zeminar, Aethyra says, "I was present when they were discussing the defense during the drills, and I was aware that Arianiss and Bakarus were having a whispered conversation at the same time."

Zeminar darkly says, "No further questions for this "witness" your honor."

Teaberry says, "You may sit down."

Perigourd says, "I would like to call the honorable Mayor Talliver Dabbings to questioning."

Talliver blinks.

Talliver says, "Very well."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Mr. Mayor, you were also present the night Reiphe O'Mallory was brought in to be questioned by the townsfolk, weren't you?"

Talliver says, "I was, yes."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "And at that meeting you also stated that during an investigation several copies of a note had led you to believe that Bakarus was in league with the lich Zeban, is this true?"

Talliver says, "That is accurate."

Talliver stares at Bakarus.

Talliver says, "I still believe that."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Did Aethyra have any access to the information of that investigation?"

Talliver says, "I don't believe that she would have, no."

Talliver says, "Not directly."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Did the text of the note found during the aforementioned investigation correspond with the text of the duplicate note Aethyra testified as to finding?"

Talliver nods at Perigourd.

Talliver says, "It did."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "During Aethyra's recounting on the eve of that meeting Reiphe made two comments interrupting Aethyra while she was sharing her findings, for which you chastised him. Do you remember what Reiphe said and to whom he said it?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver asks, "I don't. Would you refresh my memory?"

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Was it not "And remember the warning about the upside-down star!" and then specifically to Bakarus "Don't you think I didn't see your pentagram!"?"

Talliver takes a deep breath.

Talliver says, "He did say that, yes."

Teaberry says, "Leading the witness, counselor."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Toward the end of this meeting, you had two guards escort Reiphe O'Mallory from the room back to await further trial, did you not?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "I did."

Zeminar darkly says, "Objection. Irrelevant. A warning from a witch about a witch warding Talisman."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "It was found a short time later that those guards had in fact been murdered, and Reiphe was no where to be found, correct?"

Teaberry says, "Sustained."

Talliver nods at Teaberry.

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "That's correct."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "There was a poison used to make sure those guards wouldn't speak again, wasn't there?"

Zeminar whispers to the group, "Mr. Klysus, you didn't poison any guards, did you?"

Talliver says, "Yes. Luukosian deathwort."

Bakarus whispers to the group, "I did not."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "And in later investigations regarding this disappearance, a Vornavian bank note was discovered to have been in some way transacted with by the killer?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "Objection, relevance?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "Yes. We deemed Vornavis to be the likely source due to the city's--"

Talliver glances at Teaberry.

Talliver seems to be waiting for something.

Perigourd says, "The relevance your honor is that Reiphe dissapeared shortly after being painted as a possible traitor by Bakarus himself."

Perigourd says, "And had a motive for the dissapearance of Reiphe."

Zeminar darkly asks, "So everyone from Vornavis is on trial now?"

Perigourd says, "Not everyone in Vornavis had a reason to harm Reiphe O'Mallory."

Perigourd says, "Nor had everyone in Vornavis just pointed to a symbol that a seer said would identify a traitor to Icemule."

Zeminar darkly says, "Objection, speculation."

Teaberry says, "Sustained."

Talliver's entire body tenses as he clenches his fist.

Speaking to Talliver, Jiarine says, "You are starting to look tense."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Were you with the defenders at Berserker's end the night Zeban met his demise?"

Talliver takes a deep breath.

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "I was, yes, and when Bakarus's allegiances were revealed at last."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "And were you injured during the battle?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Speculation. Please. Objection."

Perigourd says, "This isn't speculation, it's a stated fact by a witness."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Bakarus's allegiances?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Perigourd says, "The witness is entitled to his opinion of observance, it is for the judge to decide whether to lend it credence or not."

Zeminar darkly says, "When Bakarus was so unfairly forced to act on behalf of the lich through the influence of its vile power...."

Zeminar darkly says, "But sure, opinions."

Zeminar sits down.

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "And were you injured during the battle?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "I was only slightly injured during the encounter with Zeban."

Perigourd amusedly says, "I'd call having a hand blown apart a bit more than minor."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "After Zeban had been torn apart by the Disir, and you were recovering from your wounds, isn't it true that Bakarus physically struck you?"

Talliver says, "Yes."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "Has he ever physically struck you before?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "No. He turned against us because he was trying to defend the master he chose to serve."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd asks, "From your observations did Bakarus continue to goad and mock those around him including after the party had returned to Rawknuckles Tavern, clearly after Zeban's fall?"

Jiarine says, "Curious... you said US but I was not attacked personally."

Speaking to Perigourd, Talliver says, "Absolutely he did. He mocked us well after Zeban was torn apart by the disir."

Speaking to Talliver, Perigourd says, "Thank you Mayor. No more questions your honor."

Talliver nods grimly at Perigourd.

Talliver glances at Zeminar.

Speaking darkly to Talliver, Zeminar asks, "Mayor Talliver, would you agree that Bakarus was, during that night, under the control of the Lich Zeban?"

Talliver says, "No."

Talliver says, "No on two counts."

Speaking darkly to Talliver, Zeminar asks, "All other witnesses testified to this?"

Perigourd says, "Objection, No witness has testified to the possession of Bakarus on the night in question."

Talliver says, "A lich has a phylactery that allows them to persist beyond injuries that would normally cause death."

Speaking darkly to Talliver, Zeminar says, "Are you aware that a liches control can extend past their untimely demise? There are several historical occurrences of this."

Speaking to Zeminar, Talliver says, "Zeban was no lich."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Oh? What was Zeban?"

Talliver says, "Moreover, if he could command Bakarus surreptitiously, I fail to see why he shouted out orders to his catspaw."

Speaking darkly to Talliver, Zeminar asks, "You seem to know an awful lot about Zeban. Tell me, what was he?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Talliver says, "Zeban was whatever a lich is when it no longer has a phylactery. We witnessed him occupy multiple bodies."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Including Bakaurs?"

Talliver says, "No. The bodies that he occupied decayed beyond usefulness rapidly, all except for the body of Arnabas."

Speaking darkly to Teaberry, Zeminar says, "No further questions for the esteemed mayor Talliver," as he chuckles, "who didn't seem to see the same thing all other witnesses did."

Talliver scowls at Zeminar.

Teaberry asks, "Any further witnesses?"

Perigourd says, "The prosecution now calls Sorlu Jae'kym for questioning."

Speaking to Teaberry, Sorlu assures, "And let me state here and now that I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...so lash me Ivas."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "You were the one who found the Tablet of Life, correct?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "That is correct."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And this tablet was also sought by the lich Zeban?"

Sorlu says, "It was, yes."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "Did someone approach you looking to acquire the tablet on behalf of the lich Zeban?"

Sorlu says, "Zeban himself, but often I would notice shadows stalking after me."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "When and how did you meet Bakarus?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "I have know Bakarus now for several years. Since my return to Icemule, well before this whole mess started."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And did he ever approach you regarding the Tablet of Life?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "No. I approached him."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "Why?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "Well, as we all know, and have heard repeated several times....Darcena was the one to point out that he may be the spy. A little too fast, if you ask me. As she did seem to know even before the seer could finish speaking those words of warning. And so, picking up on this, I wished to investigate myself."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And what did you and Bakarus discuss when you approached him?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "I offered the Tablet to him, of course. I needed to know his reaction."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And what was his reaction?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "Unlike the man I had seen before, he seemed to fill with excitement....it was quite odd. I had not suspected him, it did not seem to fit his character, but in the presence of the Tablet I could sense a sudden darkness within him grow. A lust, a desire for it....if I didn't know better, I would think he was moved by Ivas herself."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And did you give him the Tablet?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "No, I would not. And had no plans to. The survival and security of this town, this place I call home, is what matters most to my heart. I only wished to tempt him with the promise of it, of it being delivered to Zeban, in the hopes that it would buy us time."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "Prior to the night of Zebans demise, there was a decided lull in Zeban's advances on the town. Was the offer of this tablet in any way involved?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "I believe my deception is what allowed that to happen, yes."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And the night Zeban was destroyed, did Bakarus murder you?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu mutters, "He did."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "Because you would not relinquish the tablet to him as agreed?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "I did not expect him to move with the speed he did. When I took a moment to tease Zeban, and it was known I would not be handing it over, that is when I was struck down."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "You met with him on multiple occasions to plan this proposed transaction, did you not?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "I did. To assure that we were still aligned in that regard....or at least make sure he believed us to be."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "Based on your conversations with him, what do you think he hoped to achieve by giving Zeban the Tablet of Life?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "Quite possibly the same reward Zeban offered me if I should hand it over. Power....control over this town. Promises of all that we desire."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd says, "Thank you, no more questions."

Speaking darkly to Sorlu, Zeminar asks, "Mr. Mr. Jae'kym, you said a darkness grew within Bakarus. Yes?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Sorlu says, "I did."

Speaking darkly to Sorlu, Zeminar asks, "And you said he moved with unnatural speed? Do you believe my client was under the influence of the lich Zeban?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Sorlu says, "I am no expert on the supernatural, but I do not believe it beyond possibility."

Speaking darkly to Sorlu, Zeminar asks, "Why would Zeban be controlling Bakarus?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Sorlu asks, "Zeban controlled many. Why would he not try to use a member of our town council for his ill will?"

Sorlu says, "And I suppose, at least initially, he was not a suspected doer of evil."

Speaking darkly to Sorlu, Zeminar asks, "Perhaps to unite the tablets?"

Perigourd says, "Objection, calls for speculation."

Sorlu says, "Ah, yes, that was Zeban's goal."

Speaking darkly to Sorlu, Zeminar asks, "Mr. Jae'kym, in the time you have known my client, would you consider Bakarus to be a good counselor for this fair city? Before these tragic events?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Sorlu says, "I have spent a lifetime working amongst less than ideal people. Bakarus never seemed like one to me. In fact, I've seen him make decisions that did not seem to line up with the wishes of Zeban."

Speaking to Zeminar, Sorlu says, "So in that regard, yes."

Speaking darkly to Sorlu, Zeminar asks, "While we have determined that Bakarus's physical body murdered you... who would you say is responsible for your demise on the wretched night? The lich Zeban, or Mr. Klysus?"

Speaking to Zeminar, Sorlu says, "My eyes look always towards the source, not the symptom. So to me, it is Zeban who is responsible for my death."

Zeminar darkly says, "No further questions, your honor..."

Perigourd says, "Redirect, your honor."

Teaberry says, "Go on."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "You said you can neither confirm nor deny that Bakarus was possessed the night he murdered you?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Sorlu says, "That is true."

Zeminar darkly says, "Objection, badgering. We have already covered this."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "And while Zeban put events into motion that led to the situation where you were murdered, It was in fact Bakarus who slew you, was it not?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Same objection."

Teaberry says, "Asked and answered, counselor. Move along."

Speaking to Sorlu, Perigourd asks, "Is Bakarus a follower of Luukos?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "Objection, relevance to this trial?"

Teaberry says, "Sustained."

Talliver almost gets to his feet, but visibly calms himself and sits.

Perigourd says, "No more questions your honor."

Perigourd says, "The prosecution rests its case."

Talliver whispers something to Perigourd.

Speaking darkly to Teaberry, Zeminar says, "Your honor, the defense calls no further witnesses."

Speaking to Teaberry, Perigourd says, "If it pleases the court."

Teaberry says, "Proceed, counselor."

Perigourd says, "Lets look at what we know. We know that a seer provided a warning to Icemule about a traitor to the town and even described a manner in which to recognize them, and that this symbol was seen and recognized by not one, but two separate individuals, Darcena and Reiphe O'Mallory. We know that Darcena attempted to warn several people that Bakarus was a traitor in pointing this out, and that Reiphe's comments during the meeting of his question were likewise ignored."

Perigourd says, "We know that information was being passed by this traitor to the Lich Zeban, and that a note was recovered with details known only to Arianiss and Bakarus, and which was signed with the initial B."

Perigourd says, "We know that when a note with the exact same information was discovered at a shrine to Amasalen, the Arkati that the council of ten served, by Aethyra, and that this note contained the exact same information as the first note, information which Aethyra wasn't privy to, and that this note was then destroyed by a manifestation of Zeban, who then threatened her, and admitting the spies treasonous nature."

Perigourd says, "We know that shortly after a meeting where Aethyra and Reiphe were attempting to point out that the traitor was Bakarus that one of them was ignored and left out of fear, and the other disappeared in a mysterious murder where Luukosian deathwart was used to prevent any possible identification of the attacker."

Perigourd says, "We know that the traitor was in fact Bakarus, who was attempting to gain the tablet of life for Zeban through negotiations with Sorlu who held it, and who he believed would turn it over to him when the truth is Sorlu's tactic was devised to keep the bloodshed from Icemule's doorstep."

Perigourd says, "We know that on the night of Zeban's demise, when it was clear Sorlu wasn't going to turn over the tablet, Sorlu was murdered by Bakarus in order for Zeban to claim the tablet of life, and that after the Disir had already torn Zeban apart, he not only continued to mock and goad those gathered, but struck the very mayor of this township without any seeming provocation."

Perigourd says, "Why would a lich have to command someone to right down information on a note to leave at a shrine in order to pass that information on to themself? The fact is they wouldn't need to."

Perigourd says, "This led to a second consideration. If Bakarus wasn't in fact possessed, why write down and pass information to Zeban if he wanted what was best for the town? The truth is there was only one answer that made sense. Bakarus wrote that note because he didn't care one bit for the townsfolk, their betterment or their safety. He was the traitor. He wasn't in fact possessed, he was lying."

Perigourd says, "And why did Bakarus try so hard to push all the blame from himself? Because as was made clear from Aethyra's encounter with Zeban, Zeban didn't care if Bakarus had been discovered or not. This meant the only one harmed by Bakarus being revealed as the traitor was himself. He had to deflect all the blame from himself not because he was possessed, but because he was lying."

Perigourd says, "And when it was clear that Sorlu was not going to honor their agreement to hand the tablet over to either him or Zeban, Zeban forced Bakarus to take action, not through possession, but through revealing to those gathered that Bakarus was in fact the traitor in pleading for his aid. Thus Bakarus murdered Sorlu of his own volition having been exposed and having nothing left to lose. Others might have understood this better except that murdering Sorlu caused the kind of momentary chaos that Luukosians thrive in, that chaos of uncertainty."

Perigourd says, "It was then that Bakarus took his moment to indulge in castigating those around him, quoting Luukosian phrases, calling people fools, about how easily we were misled, even striking the mayor physically when he was still recovering from his wounds during the stalwart stand against Zeban."

Perigourd asks, "And as the dust started settling a thought occurred to him. Had he not gotten this far by doing the thing he was best at? Had he not achieved an end that would satisfy Luukos, his master, in helping corrupt the Angargreft ? Taken some measure of victory out of those around him? Could he not retain his position on the council and relish once more the defeat of those around him which gave him so much pleasure?"

Perigourd says, "Yes, all these things were within his reach, if he did what he was best at."

Perigourd says, "Lying."

Perigourd says, "Thank you."

You say, "Indeed."

Teaberry says, "Go ahead, Counselor."

You say, "It was a strange thing that happened the other night. There was this stunted halfling 'bloodspeaker' up in the Boreal Forest..."

You say, "Ritualistically burned, scarred, misshapen. Gurgling and garbling. Until it came across a dead body."

You say, "It clawed its way through the chest of the corpse, then ripped out the heart and ate it."

You say, "Suddenly, its skin was ripped apart as it rapidly grew until it was several heads taller than a giantman, sprouting bloodstained antlers from its skull."

You say, "Now, I cannot quite put my finger on it, I do not know what it was exactly..."

You say, "But something about this did not seem to be entirely natural."

You say, "The Truefolk up there get a certain fever for cannibalism sometimes. After all, who doesn't? But these ones were the disciples of Zeban."

You say, "There are also flayed gigas of his up near Angargreft. I saw one tear the fabric of reality, which then lashed out with tentacles."

You say, "Maybe Zeban handed out pamphlets, held some convincing seminars. His willing followers still keeping up the good fight."

You say, "But there is just this nagging suspicion that, even though Zeban was destroyed by the Disir..."

You say, "... that maybe, somehow, these halflings and gigas are not quite themselves."

You say, "You see, they are not 'possessed', not puppets. Zeban is gone."

You say, "But it is perhaps too generous, far too generous, to suggest their will is not compromised."

You say, "So. We have this problem of Zeban victimizing Bakarus."

You say, "Is it disputed that the Council of Ten liches would possess others, whether partly or wholly? No."

You say, "Is it disputed that those liches would cause the possessed to have visions? No."

You say, "Is it disputed that Zeban spoke through Bakarus? No."

You say, "Do the undead compel actions in others? Yes."

You ask, "Is it necessarily obvious when those liches were partly or wholly possessing others?"

You say, "Thurfel was thought to be living. It turned out a divination crystal from his Keep was his broken phylactery."

You say, "Ellerel ran for Mayor without it being known that he was actually Prangar."

You exclaim, "How much more subtle it is when all you need is compromised will!"

JYou say, "Zeban issued a command to Bakarus. Bakarus suddenly obeyed."

You say, "Sorlu himself said he believes Zeban was at fault."

You ask, "Does it really matter he did it by venting out loud instead of waving a hand?"

You say, "Bakarus attempted to warn others of his visions."

You say, "His hand is marked by the lich."

You say, "You know who else would mark others with corpseflesh? The Lich King, Barnom Slim. Whose phylactery was destroyed in 5113 and he was consumed by shadows."

You say, "... and yet, Barnom returned, possessing a host body in spring of 5120. Very shortly before all of this began in Icemule."

You say, "Imagine that. Known associate of Luukosians. Known for his manipulations across towns. Himself a demi-lich."

You say, "That is quite the coincidence. Such proximity for 'B' to not be involved with 'Z'."

You ask, "Those love letters, after all, are only signed 'B'. Was this ever questioned?"

You say, "Then you have this seer, Kadya, who one imagines could have 'seen' any sort of private meeting, including defense plans for the town."

You say, "Somehow a seer is to be used as a proof of secret knowledge in one way, but we are to believe not in other ways."

You say, "This is a witch who says her powers come from Eorgina. Queen of the Dark Gods. Ruler of the pantheon of Luukos and Amasalen."

You ask, "What proof does this witch offer that the town will be betrayed by someone wearing an inverted star?"

You say, "Which, after all, is an ancient symbol of protection, against witchcraft."

You ask, "Is this meaningfully different from just another accusation through one layer of indirection?"

You say, "All we really know from this is that a seer wished to place guilt on the wearer."

You say, "That there were forces wanting blame to fall on Bakarus seems clear enough."

You say, "Some sort of 'catspaw' for what sounds like an Andelasian manipulator."

You say, "But what we do not have is any compelling reason to believe Bakarus did not have his will compromised by Zeban."

You say, "Possession is nine-tenths of the law. We have every reason to believe Bakarus was not himself."

You say, "Instead of trying to help him, making sure he is well, here we are persecuting him."

You say, "This is, in the end, nothing but immense reasonable doubt and hearsay."

You conclude, "There is only one right choice here, and that is to dismiss all charges."

You say, "Thank you."

Speaking darkly to Teaberry, Zeminar asks, "Well, your honor?"

Perigourd says, "I suggest we allow the Judge his time to render his decision."

Lylia asks, "Did we suddenly become a circus and not a courtroom?"

Speaking quietly to Lylia, Hadya says, "It certainly seems to be that way."

You dryly say, "If the hand itches, you must blame the liches."

Bakarus says, "I am so tired."

Teaberry says, "All right. Court is adjourned while I consider my verdict. And it will be given tonight."

Speaking sharply to Bakarus, Talliver says, "Treachery must be exhausting work."

Speaking darkly to Talliver, Zeminar asks, "You could say the same about corruption?"

Speaking to Talliver, Bakarus says, "I've apologized as much as I can Mayor, such tragedy."

Talliver holds up a hand in Bakarus's direction and shakes his head.

Rammael gives a polite nod of his head.

You see Rammael the Clerk.
He appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
He is short and has a lithe physique. He appears to be in the flower of life. He has heavy-lidded ale brown eyes and tanned skin. He has lank, dark blond hair that is starting to silver at the temples. He has an angular face, an unforgiving nose and thin lips.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a dark peaked hat adorned with a single yellow feather, a woven steel neckchain suspending a piece of chatoyant golden quartz, a combed dark woolen doublet adorned with an even march of golden buttons, a collared cream cotton shirt, a pair of heavy leather gloves, a pair of dark wool pants, and some dark cuffed slouch boots.

Rammael softly says, "Not at all. As I was charged with ensuring Judge Teaberry had the support she needed, I returned to assist."

Teaberry says, "Thank you, Rammael."

Teaberry says, "All right, court is again in session."

Teaberry says, "First of all, I want to thank you all for attending. I know that many of you would rather be at the Feast in the Iyo Glade on the Isle of Four Winds."

Geijon asks, "If Bakarus is guilty, do th' Angargeist ghosts go away in th' Hinterwilds?"

Teaberry says, "Second, this was a tough case to decide. There were many gaps and a lot of speculation in the prosecutor's case. The possession defense didn't wholly convince me, but there have been many possessions over the past year and a half, so I can't wholly discount it. I think, ultimately, that I have to say that I think Bakarus did write the letter signed with a B, but I don't know if he was possessed, treasonous, or playing the spy game with Zeban as Sorlu did with him. I don't know if he injured the mayor accidentally or deliberately. It's a muddle."

Teaberry says, "It's therefore my decision that Bakarus is guilty of second -degree murder and second-degree assault. As to the charge of treason, his actions are deeply suspicious, but there is insufficient proof that he acted willingly or maliciously. I have to go with the Paradis Verdict--not proven."

Speaking to Teaberry, Rammael says, "Thank you for your considered effort toward impartial justice."

Rammael says, "The remaining Town Councillors have heard the verdict provided by this court."

Speaking to Geijon, Bakarus says, "Everyone loves a peanut gallery."

Speaking to Bakarus, you say, "In the Landing they made one of Barnom Slim's disciples the Mayor."

[Clovertooth Hall, Main Lobby]
A dark riverstone statue occupies the center of the expansive public space, its height drawing attention to the dome that rises two stories overhead. Silence hangs heavy on the night air, and the few citizens moving around the building do so with an air of dour resignation. A few benches stand empty along the walls, which reflect the silvered moonlight that streams through the two entryside windows. You also see the Tabubu disk, a fat ginger cat, the web-draped Missoni disk, a lazy wild brick red dog and a carved white stone staircase climbing to the second floor.
Also here: Neovik, Dragoon Dayzed, Aenternoll, Bakarus, Zeminar, Blades, Tabubu, Stormyrain, Lady Meliyara, Avaia, Commodore Jaysehn, Missoni, Perigourd, Magister Raelee, Defender of Mist Harbor Teaberry, Hadya, Mohrgan
Obvious exits: north, east, west, out

Bakarus says, "Nice to see so many friendly faces."

Aenternoll nods to you.

Stormyrain places a hand over her heart.

Blades leans against a dark riverstone statue.

Zeminar nods to you in greeting.

A distant crier announces, "Parties interested in the trial of Bakarus Klysus for high crimes against Icemule Trace should meet in the auditorium at Clovertooth Hall promptly!"

Speaking darkly to Bakarus, Zeminar asks, "Once exonerated, where shall the after party be?"

Talliver says, "Good evening, everyone."

Bakarus says, "A lovely turn out this evening."

Rammael says, "I apologize for my tardiness."

Teaberry says, "Well, there are plenty of dark elves present, Meliyara. Surely you think that your people are rational."

Rammael says, "Icemule Trace's justice system scarcely provides clear provisions for addressing such an alleged crime as this."

Rammael says, "As a result, it will be largely up to the selected judge to set the parameters for this trial."

Teaberry nods at Rammael.

Rammael says, "The documents of the early settlers of Icemule Trace are scattered at best, and largely incomplete."

Bakarus whispers to the group, "So things are unorganized and also made up by Teaberry. Noted."

Rammael says, "Indeed, the Council of Ten were the last individuals to stand accused of such crimes, and they were found guilty."

Teaberry says, "Given what happened with them, I really do no think that burying people alive--or in lich form--is the way to go."

J>look bakarus

You see Bakarus Klysus the Pilgrim.
He appears to be a Human from Jantalar.
He is average height. He appears to be very young. He has piercing black eyes and pale skin. He has shoulder length, wavy black hair. He has a square-jawed face, a classical nose and broad shoulders. The fingertips of one hand are twisted and black, with a texture like corpseflesh.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a glass of Dhe'nari blood wine in his right hand.
He is wearing a strand of black ora prayerbeads, and some soft white silk robes.

Talliver glares at Bakarus.

Darcena says, "Really? I've found Bakarus incredibly polite at nearly all times."

Darcena furrows her brow.

Speaking to Jiarine, Bakarus says, "I was elected in this town, surely rational thought will rule the day."

Speaking to Teaberry, Rammael says, "The trial is yours to orchestrate. I am, of course, here to advise."

Teaberry says, "From what I have been able to discover, in the absence of statutary law, common law prevails. So let's just treat this as a normal trial. Prosecution presents the list of charges and evidence if any, the defense tries to disprove the prosecution's case. Cross-examination and redirect are permitted but no one can introduce information on cross-examination or redirect that has no previously come up in questioning."

Naliya signals, "While I don't know the outcome of this, you have my vote, Bakarus."

Bakarus signals, "You have my thanks Naliya. Too many here are eager for chaos and blood. We have seen too much already."

Teaberry asks, "Master Perigourd, do you have any objection to the defense reading an opening statement?"

Speaking to Teaberry, Perigourd says, "I do not."

Speaking to Teaberry, Bakarus says, "If I may, I would like to state for the record I am the defendant in this case."

Speaking to Teaberry, Bakarus says, "I am being represented by L'Draggor, L'Draggor & Kul'shin , LLP."

Speaking to Teaberry, Bakarus says, "First consult is free."

Zeminar nods once.

Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "Whenever you are ready, counsel."

Teaberry nods.

Aenternoll turns to face you.

You say, "I have been retained to speak on this matter of will and its manipulation."

You ask, "Am I not beautiful?"

You say, "That is what the vereri ask their victims. Melting away their resistance, immediately before their glamors drop..."

You say, "... and they are revealed, for what they truly are. Horribly grotesque and evil."

You say, "For you see, that is what the undead are, fundamentally. They are vile deceptions, pantomimes, twisted broken spirits."

Perigourd folds his hands behind his back.

You say, "They inflict crippling emotions with their very presence, and they compel the will of their victims."

You say, "There are all too many examples. Sheer fear, so called. Pookas drowning others in sorrow."

You say, "There are still more powerful assaults on the mind."

You say, "Bog wraiths hurling weapons with telekinesis."

You say, "Wind wraiths possessing Luukosian soul golems, troll wraiths forcing utter terror with songs, wraithlike banshees immobilizing with wails."

You say, "Vourkha are wraiths who make their victims follow them. Their eyes mindlessly glazing over and obeying."

You say, "Vereri themselves are vampiric, wraithlike lamia, who feed on blood and spirit."

You say, "As I understand it, their Temple of Hope is where this all began, with the Tablet of Death."

You say, "The demi-lich Zeban, possessing the body of another, then stole this powerful relic."

You ask, "... and what is a demi-lich, after all, if not a kind of vampiric wraith?"

You say, "Bereft of its phylactery. Forced to possess and feed upon others."

You say, "Liches are even known for staying the hand with dark empathy."

You ask, "Who here has never had their will compromised by the undead? Even possessed to assault others by demons?"

You say, "Marshal Thadston of Wehnimer's Landing was possessed by a haunted brothel worker."

You say, "Now? He is Mayor. How? It was not.. his... fault."

You ask, "Is it so difficult to believe that Zeban compelled Bakarus to kill, as he could not take the Tablet of Life from Sorlu while he lived?"

You ask, "That Bakarus cannot be reasonably expected to resist a demi-lich, who in that very moment was attempting to possess even Zerroth?"

You exclaim, "Zerroth! Whose berserker rage was so great, the Miscere'Golab itself was an extension of his will!"

You ask, "Now, I have no doubt some of you will question, how could we know if Bakarus was possessed and not a willing accomplice?"

You say, "I would tell you this. That such violations of the will may transcend momentary obvious symptoms."

You ask, "Was anyone able to tell, from mere casual observation, that Ellerel was possessed by Prangar?"

You ask, "Did not villainous figures, such as Elithain Cross, seem to be autonomous when they were truly pawns of Althedeus?"

You say, "Even forces of 'good' may be twisted. Consider the tainted disir, who are literally angels."

You say, "Consider the minions of the savant blood mage Grishom Stone, such as former museum curator Glethad, who is only an abject and servile illusion of free will."

You say, "Or Malluch Burdos, once a crusader against darkness who is now a zealot of that 'Blood God', after his shattered mind was 'healed' by Stone."

You say, "Think of how Tseleth, before he was even a lich, was able to control the will of others by exploiting soul fragments and symbols."

You say, "Speaking through Sir Bristenn Mires, a knight of Vornavis, who had no awareness of what he was saying."

You say, "Forcing Shannivar, an intercessor of Lorminstra, to kill others with her own hand."

You say, "This did not even require possession, only Luukosian black magic."

You say, "There are so many ways. Hex dolls, blood bonds, flesh marks."

You ask, "Is it not a well-known fact in this town that the accused, Bakarus Klysus, was seized upon and spoken through remotely by this Zeban?"

You say, "I confess confusion on how a man with the good name of Councilman Klysus could be thought a willing consort of Luukosians."

You say, "He is quite plainly a victim in all of this, just look at what Zeban did to his hand."

You say, "Truly, he might as well have the skull marking of Onar on his neck."

Teaberry says, "Actually, this is the first time I've heard of Bakarus being possessed."

You say, "Speaking to you as an outsider, someone with no stake in these matters, there is nothing here but reasonable doubt and hearsay."

You say, "... and, above all, you must remember. Possession is nine-tenths of the law."

You conclude, "It would be an injustice to convict Bakarus of these insults to his honor. Thank you."

Teaberry asks, "Mister Prosecutor, will you please state the charges, followed by your own arguments?"

Speaking honestly to Teaberry, Darcena says, "You know that I do not lie. It appeared at one time that Bakarus had been possessed by the lich. He did not seem to be using his own voice."

Perigourd says, "As I recall, the charges are Treason, murder, and collusion with a lich against the town of Icemule Trace."

Perigourd says, "With Treason and collusion constituting high crimes under the statues of Icemule."

Jiarine asks, "Do you the laws with you to prove that?"

Rammael says, "His understanding of the matter is accurate."

Rammael nods.

Perigourd says, "We just listened to much talk about possession, and many different forms of it."

Perigourd says, "And there is much truth in the fact that people can fall under the sway of such possesion, especially if their will is weak."

Perigourd says, "But he failed to address the fact that the council of ten has possessed members of this city before, or any of the manner in which they affected responded."

Perigourd says, "The crux of the matter isn't in his actions as many here were witness to Sorlu being murdered in order for Zeban to achieve the tablet."

Perigourd says, "I would like however to begin at the beginning with witness testimony as regards certain facts."

Perigourd says, "I would call Coucnilman Roelon to questioning."

Roelon deeply says, "Aye. Ask what ye will."

Rammael says, "If it please the judge..."

Rammael says, "I believe the opening statement must conclude before the questioning of any witnesses begins."

Teaberry asks, "Is your opening statement concluded, Master Perigourd?"

Speaking to Teaberry, Perigourd says, "It will be momentarily then, I'll hold my questions till after."

Teaberry says, "Go on."

Perigourd says, "It's been stated at meetings that information was being passed by a spy within Icemule trace to the benefit of Zeban, we intend to present evidence that links Bakarus as the culprit."

Perigourd says, "We also intend to prove that such matters had to have been of his own volition, and that such possessions as described were not in force at the time of his actions."

Perigourd says, "Thank you."

Teaberry says, "At the moment, we do not have a time limit. And yes, the prosecution may present its first witness."

Speaking to Bakarus, Mystiq asks, "Are you in a hurry to be framed?"

Perigourd says, "Then I again call Councilman Roelon to question."

Speaking to Mystiq, Bakarus asks, "Its that obvious?"

Speaking to Bakarus, Mystiq says, "Well..."

Speaking to Roelon, Perigourd asks, "Councilman, during the strife regarding Zeban's threat to the town, were you aware that information was being passed to Zeban by a source within the town?"

Speaking deeply to Perigourd, Roelon says, "We were made aware of such ah person within our town doin' this, aye."

[Clovertooth, Auditorium]
Raw cedar timbers perfume the air, comprising the walls of the expansive hall. Living evergreen boughs contrast frame the southern entrance, brightly illuminated by faceted glimaerstone orbs set high into the ceiling. The light scatters over a few dozen rows of comfortably padded seats and rugs covering parts of the polished floor. A central aisle delineated by a quartet of braziers leads toward an expansive cedar and pine stage framed by silver-trimmed blue curtains. You also see the oleaginous Whisker disk trailing slick ebon tentacles, the faenor Queatus disk inlaid with intersecting bands of jet, the Fyg disk, the Quildor disk, the Naliya disk, the Tabubu disk, the web-draped Missoni disk and a stocky snow white puppy with oversized black-tipped paws.

Obvious exits: south

Roelon deeply says, "Ah believe it was first brought to our attention, by the seer Kadya."

Roelon deeply says, "She did nae name the person outright. Nae. But rather, told us of ah sigil, carved of wood with ah star inverted. This would lead us to the person."

Speaking to Roelon, Perigourd asks, "Did you ever witness this sigil on anyone?"

Roelon deeply says, "Ah mahself did nae witness this sigil, there hae been warnings by others however about this."

Speaking to Roelon, Perigourd asks, "Which others, if I might ask?"

Roelon deeply says, "Darcena, as ah recall."

Zeminar darkly says, "I'll be doing the cross examination, if it please Your Honor."

Teaberry says, "That's fine. Please proceed."

Speaking darkly to Roelon, Zeminar asks, "Mr. Roelon, You have known Mr. Klysus for quite a long time, correct?"

Rammael inclines his ear, listening intently.

Speaking deeply to Zeminar, Roelon says, "Before the troubles here, ah hae known him ah bit. Aye. Slowly, knowing him ah bit more as ah fellow Councilor."

Speaking darkly to Roelon, Zeminar asks, "Roelon...Yes, have you known Bakarus to be anything other than a good councilman, someone who you have fought side by side with many times?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Please, a simple yes will do."

Roelon deeply says, "Ah hae known Bakarus as both the good councilor and one who struck ah fatal blow to another."

Zeminar darkly asks, "You bore witness to the lich speaking through Bakarus, clearly targeting him for possession, did you not?"

Roelon deeply says, "Ah hae heard Zeban speak through Bakarus. Ah cannae confirm or denie if he was possesed or ah vessel."

Zeminar darkly says, "Yes of course."

Zeminar darkly says, "So it's not unreasonable, that the friend you knew, and the one who struck the fatal blow you described, are not the same person."

Zeminar darkly asks, "And Bakarus, has ever talked to you about feeling better after the ordeal?"

Roelon deeply says, "He has mentioned such words to me, aye."

Speaking deeply to Teaberry, Dayzed says, "Your honor, I highly recommend finding a new prosecutor for this case. The appointed one is not doing their duty."

Aenternoll says, "Objection. The gallery has no place directing either counsel."

Teaberry says, "Zeminar, your questions are becoming argumentative. Please watch yourself. You should not be testifying."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Moving along then. Mr. Roelon, do you know what goddess Kadya claims bestowed her her gift of sight?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "And would you trust someone who has faith in Eorgina?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "Mr. Roelon, the sigil, were you referring to a pentagram, correct?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "A commonly worn symbol, correct?"

Perigourd says, "Objection."

Perigourd asks, "How is the witness to know what is or isn't a commonly worn symbol amongst the masses?"

Perigourd asks, "Does he sell them?"

Bakarus says, "Eyes."

Bakarus says, "He has them."

Zeminar darkly says, "If the witness doesn't know if a pentagram is a common symbol, then he is a very poor witness."

Roelon deeply says, "Might be commonly sold aye. But not so common amung those who were around us."

Roelon deeply asks, "Otherwise we'd hae quite a few more suspects some time ago. Aye?"

Zeminar darkly says, "A wooden pentagram charm is a sensible thing to wear if one is worried about being malignly afflicted or hexed by a possessing force."

Zeminar darkly asks, "You know, like if there was some kind of vampiric demi-lich around... Correct?"

Perigourd says, "Objection, leading the witness to a conclusion."

Speaking deeply to Bakarus, Dayzed says, "We might as well just acquit you now."

Speaking darkly to Teaberry, Zeminar says, "I'm asking very sensible questions here."

Zeminar darkly says, "I don't need an answer for that one."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Councilor Roelon, could you characterize your relationship with the judge Teaberry?"

Perigourd says, "Objection, relevance."

Rammael glances at Teaberry.

Roelon deeply says, "Next ye will ask me what kilt size ah wear? Ye might be suprised."

Speaking darkly to Roelon, Zeminar says, "Justice is not fun. And these questions are very important, so please be patient Mr. Roelon."

Teaberry says, "Objection sustained."

Zeminar darkly asks, "Mr. Roelon, would you say you are close friends with Judge Teaberry?"

Teaberry asks, "Mr. Zeminar, in what way does my relationship with Roelon have anything to do with whether or not Bakarus killed someone and betrayed the town?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Clearly, clearly a conflict of interest, your honor."

Zeminar darkly says, "No further questions."

Zeminar sits down.

Speaking to Teaberry, Perigourd asks, "If I may redirect, your honor?"

Teaberry says, "Go ahead."

Speaking to Roelon, Perigourd asks, "Councilman Roelon, during the events surrounding Zeban, did you ever once take note of anyone involved wearing a pentegram sigil, even in passing?"

Roelon deeply says, "Honestly? Ah nae personally seen such directly. Nae."

Speaking to Roelon, Perigourd asks, "Have you ever known anyone to wear such a symbol in an attempt to ward off the magic or potential possessions of another malevolent force?"

Roelon deeply says, "Ah dinnae use such methods. But ah cannae say for others. Ah dinnae recall seeing them often enough."

Speaking to Roelon, Perigourd says, "Thank you councilman."

Perigourd says, "I call Captain Darcena Wolf-Valslayer to question."

Darcena asks, "Yes?"

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Were you present at the time the seer Kadya gave the warning that Councilman Roelon spoke of in his testimony?"

Darcena says, "Yes."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "And what was the warning Kadya gave, if we can hear your own description of it?"

Darcena says, "Kadya informed us that she could see a sigil of wood, carved with a star inverted, which would lead us to the betrayer."

Perigourd asks, "And did you see this symbol on anyone since the warning?"

Darcena simply says, "Yes."

Perigourd asks, "Is that person in this room?"

Darcena says, "Yes."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Who did you see wearing this symbol?"

Darcena says, "I have a question, however. When I immediately informed Archernar, Iseo, Kittai, Teaberry, Gespry, Lauranathalasa, Earthdiver, Joskin, Neovik, Randsford, Erienne, Ycelacie, Mearyn, Roelon, Kobane, Sorlu, Jiarine, Sorrenn, and Dayzed of the symbol and asked follow-up questions, they deemed at that time that my suspicions were not worth listening to me."

Darcena says, "They evaluated the situation and decided that my observations and thoughts were not valid."

Darcena angrily says, "How amusing that suddenly now it is worth listening to the Captain of the Wehnimer's Landing Militia and a Council person for the Order of hte Silver Gryphons."

Darcena says, "Someone known to never lie."

Darcena asks, "Are some of those people not here as well?"

Sorlu says, "I most certainly said no such thing."

Darcena asks, "Those who did not heed my words at all?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Darcena says, "I'll answer your question, squire."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd says, "If you would."

Darcena says, "Bakarus was the one wearing the symbol. The one whom all around dismissed my concerns as they did not feel that it was important or representative of him then. Weird how suddenly they do now."

Darcena asks, "Is it not possible they are looking for a scapegoat to pin their own ignorance upon?"

Mystiq says, "Sure they are."

Darcena fiercely growls, "Or perhaps they should have listened."

Maylan asks, "Isn't that what a trial is for?"

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Did you ever speak to Bakarus regarding the sigil?"

Lylia murmurs, "And yet she is the one who has the floor, when she was not granted it in the past. Who can blame her for taking that opportunity."

Speaking to Randsford, Stormyrain whispers aloud, "Isn't that exactly what this is? Accusations against Bakarus?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Darcena says, "Yes."

Rammael coughs.

Rammael says, "Please leave the speaking to those recognized."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Can you summarize the conversation you had with him about it?"

Darcena says, "When I spoke with him initially I both said outloud that Kadya had mentioned a wooden inverted star and glanced at him. I then asked him if he would allow me to see his jewelry. He said, and I will never forget, so I quote, 'Stay away from me she wolf.' It was very disrespectful. I then informed Dayzed directly of the conversation and he declined to follow up on it."

Darcena says, "I then continued to talk that evening and indicate that Bakarus was wearing a pentagram, including directly to Randsford himself."

Darcena says, "Who declined to follow up on it as well."

Darcena says, "I also told Jiarine directly that it was openly being worn."

Darcena says, "And was ignored once again."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "After Bakarus asked you to stay away from him, did you have any further interaction with him?"

Darcena says, "Yes."

Darcena says, "He often comes to bandits in Solhaven."

Darcena says, "He is a town councilor of Icemule Trace and is at many of these similar events as well."

Darcena says, "He also sometimes resurrects me in the Hinterwilds when I have died."

Darcena mutters, "Which is really damned useful."

Bakarus says, "I only wish to serve."

Arianiss: "Barakus, Bakarus's evil twin!"

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Do you believe he betrayed Icemule?"

Arianiss: "He's been innocent this whole time!"

Arianiss: "Also not to be confused with Baracus.. he's a good guy.."

Darcena says, "That is an excellent question. I am not Koar nor Ghezresh."

Darcena says, "I believe you will need to be more specific in your question. That is impossible to answer."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Do you know of any instance in which you saw, heard or came into knowledge of Bakarus passing information to the lich Zeban?"

Darcena breathes, "Yes."

Darcena quickly adds, "We all do know about this, as well. Zeban saw through his eyes."

Darcena says, "Whether intended or not, he was always passing information to Zeban in some way."

Aenternoll says, "Objection. The witness is speculating."

Teaberry says, "Sustained."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Do you know of any information that Bakarus acquired outside of his alleged possession that was passsed by him willingly to the lich Zeban?"
The bright luminescence fades from around Geijon.

Darcena says, "I do not remember the specifics of any information to share with you."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "But there was information passed willingly?"

Darcena asks, "Is that a question?"

Aenternoll says, "Objection. The prosecution is attempting to lead the witness."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Was there any information passed willingly from Bakarus to the lich Zeban that you know of?"

Darcena says, "Yes."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Do you know what the details of THAT information was?"

Mystiq asks, "How would anyone truely know that?"

Darcena says, "Many of us shared information willingly with Zeban such as that we would be coming after him soon."

Speaking sincerely to Perigourd, Darcena says, "I do not remember any details of what kind of information Bakarus may have passed to Zeban himself."

Xorus is very amused.

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "How do you know he passed information willingly to Zeban?"

Darcena says, "Some of it I witnessed, as did we all, and he also told me."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "Was any of this information regarding the defense of the city?"

Darcena surprisedly says, "Oh, that is a very good question."

Darcena says, "I do remember making some assumptions and hearing some accusations from others that he may have passed information about patrols and defense information about the city to Zeban. This, however, I did not directly witness myself and I was not present in the defense meetings to know for sure."

Darcena says, "It was also information that was widely being rumored across the city at the time."

Darcena says, "Some seemed true, some seemed not."

Speaking to Perigourd, Darcena says, "I am afraid that is not how you corner me, squire."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "What information did Bakarus tell you he passed to Zeban?"

Darcena says, "You have already asked this question, and I have already answered it."

Bakarus asks, "Can this just go on...indefinitely?"

Zeminar darkly says, "Objection, badgering the witness at this point."

Teaberry says, "Please wrap this up, counselor."

Darcena asks, "Squire," she pauses and watches him evenly with feral eyes, "Do you have anything else?"

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd says, "I have a final question."

Darcena says, "At the time of Zeban's initial threats to the city, there were no other betray--"

Darcena patiently asks, "Yes?"

Teaberry says, "The question presumes that the defendant is a spy."

Darcena says, "I will finish my sentence nonetheless."

Darcena says, "No other betrayers known than the one Kadya warned us of."

Speaking to Darcena, Perigourd asks, "How many spies were working for Zeban during his threat to Icemule, and what were their names?"

Darcena says, "When Zeban threatened Icemule, we were warned of only one betrayer in the town."

Darcena says, "I informed the town at that time I believed it to be Bakarus."

Darcena says, "As I have already said."

Darcena says, "I was discounted by the good people of Icemule."

Roelon deeply says, "Fearful citizens sometimes don't listen. Ah apologize as well if ah was such ah citizen."

Randsford says, "As do I, however to say we ignored the warning is to say context is lacking."

Meliyara idly says, "Goodness, I did not realize so many witnesses were on the stand with Darcena all at once."

Zeminar darkly says, "All of this, originating from a witch of Eorgina."

Zeminar darkly says, "No questions your honor."

Perigourd says, "I would like to call former Councilman Arianiss Winterfox to questioning."

Arianiss says, "Yes."

Zeminar whispers to the group, "I at least hope they have a club sandwich lunch break out in the hallway."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Councilman, were you also informed that there was an individual passing information within Icemule to the lich Zeban?"

Arianiss says, "Not directly at the time, but I tried to stay on top of current events, so yes I was aware there was a traitor."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Did you come up with an idea to attempt to discover the identity of this traitor?"

Arianiss says, "No."

Arianiss says, "Well.."

Arianiss says, "I broached it maybe, but it was just talk with other Councillors."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "During the drill session with the Crimson Legion, did you have a private conversation with Bakarus?"

Arianiss says, "Yes."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "What was talked about during this conversation?"

Arianiss says, "An idea I had for the use of the Crimson Legion, Silver Gryphons, and Town Guard."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Did you tell this idea to anyone else at any other time?"

Arianiss says, "No."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Was anyone immediately in your vicinity when this was discussed?"

Arianiss says, "Not that I could detect."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Was this conversation spoken aloud?"

Arianiss says, "It was not."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "After this discussion, was a note found containing the details of the idea you shared with Bakarus?"

Arianiss says, "Yes."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "How long after this conversation took place?"

Arianiss says, "Based on the better recollection of Aethyra, the next evening."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Who was the note addressed to?"

Arianiss says, "I don't remember. Zeban or Arnabas.. but it was a pristine version of the one Reiphe shared with us at the town meeting."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Was the note signed?"

Arianiss says, "Yes."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "What was the signature?"

Arianiss says, "A stylized B."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Has Bakarus ever been possessed in your presence?"

Arianiss says, "To my non-expert opinion, yes."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "When this happened, did his manner or appearance change from the norm?"

Arianiss says, "To my perception and awareness, just his voice."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "How did his voice change?"

Arianiss says, "Didn't sound like him.. I don't remember the specifics. Whatever it was, was attempting to be thought of as Zeban."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd asks, "Have you ever heard Bakarus' voice to change similarly since?"

Arianiss says, "No."

Zeminar darkly says, "He isn't possessed anymore..."

Speaking to Arianiss, Perigourd says, "Thank you sir, that is all I had."

Arianiss says, "You're welcome."

Zeminar darkly says, "We shall cross examine."

Arianiss says, "Yes."

Speaking darkly to Arianiss, Zeminar says, "The case resides on wether or not Mr. Klysus was possessed."

Arianiss says, "Okay."

Speaking darkly to Arianiss, Zeminar asks, "Which you testified that indeed he was, correct?"

Zeminar darkly asks, "You testified to this?"

Arianiss says, "It appeared to me that he was during the meeting, yes."

Zeminar darkly says, "Yes of course."

Zeminar darkly says, "I have a parchment here, that was also found."

Arianiss adds, "The town meeting, not the drill session."

Zeminar darkly says, "In a dark alley in this here town. Among the excrements and fluids."

Zeminar darkly says, "I shall read this parchment."

Arianiss says, "Okay."

Zeminar darkly says, "In the common language, of course."

Zeminar darkly says, "Counselor Gespry."

Perigourd says, "Objection, the defense is presenting evidence which hasn't been proven to be relevant to the questioning of the witness."

Speaking darkly to Teaberry, Zeminar says, "This is quite relevant."

Perigourd asks, "How are we to know how the witness can testify to anything regarding it when no connection to Councilman Arianiss' knowledge has been made?"

Zeminar darkly says, "I am proving a point, your honor."

Teaberry asks, "What is the point, counselor?"

Zeminar darkly says, "These letters... This B... It has no legal weight within a courtroom."

Zeminar darkly says, "We have a posessed man. Being set up for slaughter."

Zeminar darkly says, "The court has clearly seen he was possessed."

Teaberry says, "It's getting late and there is much yet to discover. I declare the court in recess until the evening of Feastday the 9th, 9:30 elven time."

Teaberry says, "I look forward to seeing you again in three days."

Rammael says, "I will let everyone know what delayed Mayor Dabbings."

Rammael says, "...once I have found that out myself."

THADROOP: New Archive - The Trial of Bakarus Klysus

{{creative-work

As a community focused on learning, sharing and research, [[The Order of Eternal Light]] houses their archives at libraries spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire|Empire]]. As part of their mission to further the knowledge of the Arkati, these libraries are made available to the public. Here you will find the most recently submitted documents from the [[Solhaven]] chapter of The Order.

==Frontier Justice==

'''Event:''' The Trial of Bakarus Klysus 
'''Dates:''' 7/6/22 & 7/9/22 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Clovertooth Hall, Icemule Trace 
'''Presiding Judge:''' [[Teaberry (prime)|Teaberry Wildroot]]

I start this entry with an apology. In the hectic days following First Pilgrim's trial, I placed these documents on the shelf and never came back to them until just now. I hope you will forgive me. With that out of the way...

Reading through these court proceedings, even now with three years to process the events, I find myself getting angry. I know I shouldn't, that I should only feel pity or sadness for the citizens of Icemule Trace as they were the ones who were tricked into this sham of a trial. But perhaps it is just my protective nature wanting to defend our First Pilgrim. Thankfully, in the end, the truth mostly won out.

I will continue to examine the trial and the days leading up to it, looking for lessons that can make myself and the Order better. Did our ardent desire for knowledge and understanding lead us astray in this instance? I still believe no, that First Pilgrim was but an unfortunate pawn in [[Zeban]]'s evil plans. Ask me again in three more years. Perhaps I will have a different answer then.

The events of the trial have been records in two volumes, filed in the Archives for posterity:

[[2022-07-06 The Trial of Bakarus Klysus - Day 1(log)|The Trial of Bakarus Klysus - Volume 1]]

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege for the Order to support other respected organizations. When the opportunity to host an event at Winternights in support of [[Cairnfang Manor]] and Solhaven presented itself, the answer was immediately yes. In his wisdom, First Pilgrim Bakarus knew exactly the topic to present on. Kuon, the patron of herbs and flowers, is a lesser known spirit who has an outsized impact on our lives, and in the dead of winter, it never hurts to give a bit of hope towards the coming Spring.

The report has been filed in the Archives and is now available to be read:

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I am impressed. While I could not personally attend the event, after reading the report, Issiah managed to hold his own against a [[Magister]] no less. Magister Raelee is a formidable debater with a near endless knowledge on the subject of well... knowledge. Having had time to reflect on the report, I am drawn to what Raelee mentioned about the Erithians, how they often worship Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae together. Perhaps there are other Arkati we should consider pairing the same way.

For those who were also unable to attend, request a copy of the report. It is a worthwhile read:

==Ivas Temple Tour==

'''Event:''' [[Ivas]], Two Sides of Temptation 
'''Date:''' 1/20/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Reporter:''' [[Lylia (prime)|Lylia Rashere]] 
'''Location:''' Ivas's temple in the [[Vipershroud]] & the Garden of Desire in Solhaven 
'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

<pre{{log2}}>
Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

The Order of Eternal Light is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] focused on improving understanding of the [[Arkati]]. It is based in [[Solhaven]]. 

==Purpose==

The stated goal of the Order:

<blockquote>''The Order seeks enlightenment of the Arkati for all peoples through the study of the various religions, religious orders, rituals and cults on Elanthia. All are welcome in the sharing of knowledge, even the faithless should they earnestly seek to study the Gods.''</blockquote>

===Core Tenets===
Members of the Order are to be:
 
::'''Curious'''
:::Never cease seeking out opportunities to further our understanding of the Arkati.

::'''Open-minded'''
:::Set aside personal beliefs and biases. All Arkati and [[Pantheon|Pantheons]] are worthy of our study.

::'''Vigilant'''
:::Move aggressively to investigate reports and rumors when the Arkati or their avatars walk among us.

::'''Devoted'''
:::Be purposeful in action and remain dedicated in support to fellow Order members and our communities.

==Insignia==

The insignia of The Order of Eternal Light is three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald.

* The three rings are a reflection of the never ending pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
* The left ring represents mortals.
* The right ring represents the Arkati.
* The central ring represents the unbreakable connection between Gods and mortals.
* The faint scales covering the rings are a reminder of the connection to the [[Drakes]], for without them, the Arkati do not exist.
* The bronze used to fashion the rings is a symbol of humility, knowing that true enlightenment is impossible for mortals.
* The emerald backdrop symbolizes the natural world in which all mortals exist.

==Structure==

===Keepers===
As the scholars and chroniclers of the Order, the Keepers are responsible for the safekeeping and curation of the Order's manuscripts and archives. A Keeper's role is not purely academic though. They seek to further enlightenment by hosting lectures and debates, guiding pilgrimages, and conducting experimental rites and rituals.

===Seekers===
As the investigators of the Order, the Seekers are responsible for investigating all reported Arkati activity in Elanthia as they become aware of the encounters. Tenacious in the pursuit of the truth, Seekers interview witnesses, collect tangible evidence, and thoroughly document their findings.

===Guardians===
As the fighting elite of the Order, the Guardians are responsible for guiding and protecting those seeking enlightenment. Decisive when provoked, Guardians are often found patrolling the roads throughout Elanthia, providing safe passage for pilgrims on their journey.

==Membership==

===Requirements===
All with a sincere and earnest curiosity to better understand the Arkati are welcome to join the Order.

==History==

Founded in the shadows of [[Tamzyrr]], the Order of Eternal Light has worked with quiet diligence, studying and researching the Arkati and their adherents for centuries. While an ancient order, little is known about its origin and founders as all of its recorded history, archives and numerous members were destroyed by the eruption of [[Mount Ysspethos]] in 4327. Those that survived, having learned tragic lessons, rebuilt the Order as a decentralized organization, creating safeguards for the protection of future archives and knowledge.
 
As is with most long-lived organizations, the Order of Eternal Light has traditions, rituals and sayings that have evolved over time. There are two important sayings that are often overheard between members. The first is the Order’s formal greeting - “Eternal Light”. Said to have originally been part of formal ceremonies, over time it has evolved into a greeting between members. The second is “In these halls, there are no secrets.” While the true origins and meaning have been lost, it is now used as a way to gently admonish a fellow member who is not being completely honest or not setting aside their personal beliefs and bias. In more recent times, it has been shortened further to a simple “In these halls…”
 
Today, the Order has spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]], having a presence in nearly all cities and towns within the Empire’s claimed borders. Individual chapters are generally autonomous and loosely organized, with a First Seeker, First Keeper and First Pilgrim being the de facto leadership group if a consequential decision needs to be made.

===Recent History===

In late Imaerasta in the year 5120, tasked with founding a new chapter on the frontier, Pilgrim Bakarus embarked from [[Jantalar]] to the northern reaches of the Empire. While assisting the [[Icemule Trace]] community, he became acquainted with Zeminar and Aenternoll L’Draggor. In 5122, in the month of Eorgaen, the three formally created the Solhaven chapter of The Order of Eternal Light.

The Order of Eternal Light is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] focused on improving understanding of the [[Arkati]]. It is based in [[Solhaven]]. 

==Purpose==

The stated goal of the Order:

<blockquote>''The Order seeks enlightenment of the Arkati for all peoples through the study of the various religions, religious orders, rituals and cults on Elanthia. All are welcome in the sharing of knowledge, even the faithless should they earnestly seek to study the Gods.''</blockquote>

===Core Tenets===
Members of the Order are to be:
 
::'''Curious'''
:::Never cease seeking out opportunities to further our understanding of the Arkati.

::'''Open-minded'''
:::Set aside personal beliefs and biases. All Arkati and [[Pantheon|Pantheons]] are worthy of our study.

::'''Vigilant'''
:::Move aggressively to investigate reports and rumors when the Arkati or their avatars walk among us.

::'''Devoted'''
:::Be purposeful in action and remain dedicated in support to fellow Order members and our communities.

==Insignia==

The insignia of The Order of Eternal Light is three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald.

* The three rings are a reflection of the never ending pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
* The left ring represents mortals.
* The right ring represents the Arkati.
* The central ring represents the unbreakable connection between Gods and mortals.
* The faint scales covering the rings are a reminder of the connection to the [[Drakes]], for without them, the Arkati do not exist.
* The bronze used to fashion the rings is a symbol of humility, knowing that true enlightenment is impossible for mortals.
* The emerald backdrop symbolizes the natural world in which all mortals exist.

==Structure==

===Keepers===
As the scholars and chroniclers of the Order, the Keepers are responsible for the safekeeping and curation of the Order's manuscripts and archives. A Keeper's role is not purely academic though. They seek to further enlightenment by hosting lectures and debates, guiding pilgrimages, and conducting experimental rites and rituals.

===Seekers===
As the investigators of the Order, the Seekers are responsible for investigating all reported Arkati activity in Elanthia as they become aware of the encounters. Tenacious in the pursuit of the truth, Seekers interview witnesses, collect tangible evidence, and thoroughly document their findings.

===Guardians===
As the fighting elite of the Order, the Guardians are responsible for guiding and protecting those seeking enlightenment. Decisive when provoked, Guardians are often found patrolling the roads throughout Elanthia, providing safe passage for pilgrims on their journey.

==Membership==

===Requirements===
All with a sincere and earnest curiosity to better understand the Arkati are welcome to join the Order.

==History==

Founded in the shadows of [[Tamzyrr]], the Order of Eternal Light has worked with quiet diligence, studying and researching the Arkati and their adherents for centuries. While an ancient order, little is known about its origin and founders as all of its recorded history, archives and numerous members were destroyed by the eruption of [[Mount Ysspethos]] in 4327. Those that survived, having learned tragic lessons, rebuilt the Order as a decentralized organization, creating safeguards for the protection of future archives and knowledge.
 
As is with most long-lived organizations, the Order of Eternal Light has traditions, rituals and sayings that have evolved over time. There are two important sayings that are often overheard between members. The first is the Order’s formal greeting - “Eternal Light”. Said to have originally been part of formal ceremonies, over time it has evolved into a greeting between members. The second is “In these halls, there are no secrets.” While the true origins and meaning have been lost, it is now used as a way to gently admonish a fellow member who is not being completely honest or not setting aside their personal beliefs and bias. In more recent times, it has been shortened further to a simple “In these halls…”
 
Today, the Order has spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]], having a presence in nearly all cities and towns within the Empire’s claimed borders. Individual chapters are generally autonomous and loosely organized, with a First Seeker, First Keeper and First Pilgrim being the de facto leadership group if a consequential decision needs to be made.

===Recent History===

In late Imaerasta in the year 5120, tasked with founding a new chapter on the frontier, Pilgrim Bakarus embarked from [[Jantalar]] to the northern reaches of the Empire. While assisting the [[Icemule Trace]] community, he became acquainted with Zeminar and Aenternoll L’Draggor. In 5122, in the month of Eorgaen, the three formally created the Solhaven chapter of The Order of Eternal Light.

==The Ninefold Tale of Revelia==

'''I.''' Revelia is a faraway land where the denizens honor their beloved patron [[Cholen]], and the first of his servants [[Tilamaire]], as well as his brother [[Jastev]] throughout the year.

'''II.''' Cholen and Tilamaire first observed that there were corners of Elanith that lacked for song and revelry, and set out to bring their light to these dark places.

'''III.''' To bring their idea to the mortal realm, they prevailed upon Cholen’s brother Jastev to reveal their desires to those mortals most able to remedy the need, the people of Revelia.

'''IV.''' For the favor of relaying this revelation to the mortals, Jastev included his own geas to the mortals, that they would not neglect the visual arts as well as those of his kin.

'''V.''' The revelations came to the people of Revelia in nine separate omens, each embodied within a different sphere of the influences of the three Arkati.

'''VI.''' The Firsts of Revelia convened a council to study the omens and discern how best to spread the Arkati’s wishes.

'''VII.''' The nine councilmembers spent nine days in seclusion, the council returned with their decree.

'''VIII.''' Each year, Nine Muses of Revelia were to be selected from among the people to embody the wishes of the Arkati and to spread the love of art, music, dance and all things that bring joy to dark places

'''IX.''' After many years, all of Revelia was lit with joy and now the Nine Muses finally begin to travel the rest of Elanith to bring the favor of the Arkati to the nine corners of the world...

==The Ninefold Tale of Revelia==

'''I.''' Revelia is a faraway land where the denizens honor their beloved patron [[Cholen]], and the first of his servants [[Tilamaire]], as well as his brother [[Jastev]] throughout the year.

'''II.''' Cholen and Tilamaire first observed that there were corners of Elanith that lacked for song and revelry, and set out to bring their light to these dark places.

'''III.''' To bring their idea to the mortal realm, they prevailed upon Cholen’s brother Jastev to reveal their desires to those mortals most able to remedy the need, the people of Revelia.

'''IV.''' For the favor of relaying this revelation to the mortals, Jastev included his own geas to the mortals, that they would not neglect the visual arts as well as those of his kin.

'''V.''' The revelations came to the people of Revelia in nine separate omens, each embodied within a different sphere of the influences of the three Arkati.

'''VI.''' The Firsts of Revelia convened a council to study the omens and discern how best to spread the Arkati’s wishes.

'''VII.''' The nine councilmembers spent nine days in seclusion, the council returned with their decree.

'''VIII.''' Each year, Nine Muses of Revelia were to be selected from among the people to embody the wishes of the Arkati and to spread the love of art, music, dance and all things that bring joy to dark places

'''IX.''' After many years, all of Revelia was lit with joy and now the Nine Muses finally begin to travel the rest of Elanith to bring the favor of the Arkati to the nine corners of the world...

==The Ninefold Tale of Revelia==

'''I.''' Revelia is a faraway land where the denizens honor their beloved patron [[Cholen]], and the first of his servants [[Tilamaire]], as well as his brother [[Jastev]] throughout the year.

'''II.''' Cholen and Tilamaire first observed that there were corners of Elanith that lacked for song and revelry, and set out to bring their light to these dark places.

'''III.''' To bring their idea to the mortal realm, they prevailed upon Cholen’s brother Jastev to reveal their desires to those mortals most able to remedy the need, the people of Revelia.

'''IV.''' For the favor of relaying this revelation to the mortals, Jastev included his own geas to the mortals, that they would not neglect the visual arts as well as those of his kin.

'''V.''' The revelations came to the people of Revelia in nine separate omens, each embodied within a different sphere of the influences of the three Arkati.

'''VI.''' The Firsts of Revelia convened a council to study the omens and discern how best to spread the Arkati’s wishes.

'''VII.''' The nine councilmembers spent nine days in seclusion, the council returned with their decree.

'''VIII.''' Each year, Nine Muses of Revelia were to be selected from among the people to embody the wishes of the Arkati and to spread the love of art, music, dance and all things that bring joy to dark places

'''IX.''' After many years, all of Revelia was lit with joy and now the Nine Muses finally begin to travel the rest of Elanith to bring the favor of the Arkati to the nine corners of the world...

The Order of Eternal Light is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] focused on improving understanding of the [[Arkati]]. It is based in [[Solhaven]]. 

==Purpose==

The stated goal of the Order:

<blockquote>''The Order seeks enlightenment of the Arkati for all peoples through the study of the various religions, religious orders, rituals and cults on Elanthia. All are welcome in the sharing of knowledge, even the faithless should they earnestly seek to study the Gods.''</blockquote>

===Core Tenets===
Members of the Order are to be:
 
::'''Curious'''
:::Never cease seeking out opportunities to further our understanding of the Arkati.

::'''Open-minded'''
:::Set aside personal beliefs and biases. All Arkati and [[Pantheon|Pantheons]] are worthy of our study.

::'''Vigilant'''
:::Move aggressively to investigate reports and rumors when the Arkati or their avatars walk among us.

::'''Devoted'''
:::Be purposeful in action and remain dedicated in support to fellow Order members and our communities.

==Insignia==

The insignia of The Order of Eternal Light is three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald.

* The three rings are a reflection of the never ending pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
* The left ring represents mortals.
* The right ring represents the Arkati.
* The central ring represents the unbreakable connection between Gods and mortals.
* The faint scales covering the rings are a reminder of the connection to the [[Drakes]], for without them, the Arkati do not exist.
* The bronze used to fashion the rings is a symbol of humility, knowing that true enlightenment is impossible for mortals.
* The emerald backdrop symbolizes the natural world in which all mortals exist.

==Structure==

===Keepers===
As the scholars and chroniclers of the Order, the Keepers are responsible for the safekeeping and curation of the Order's manuscripts and archives. A Keeper's role is not purely academic though. They seek to further enlightenment by hosting lectures and debates, guiding pilgrimages, and conducting experimental rites and rituals.

===Seekers===
As the investigators of the Order, the Seekers are responsible for investigating all reported Arkati activity in Elanthia as they become aware of the encounters. Tenacious in the pursuit of the truth, Seekers interview witnesses, collect tangible evidence, and thoroughly document their findings.

===Guardians===
As the fighting elite of the Order, the Guardians are responsible for guiding and protecting those seeking enlightenment. Decisive when provoked, Guardians are often found patrolling the roads throughout Elanthia, providing safe passage for pilgrims on their journey.

==Membership==

===Requirements===
All with a sincere and earnest curiosity to better understand the Arkati are welcome to join the Order.

==Library==
Each chapter of the Order is responsible for maintaining a local library of knowledge, sending regular reports back to Tamzyrr.

*[[The Order of Eternal Light Keeper Archives|Keeper Archives]]

==History==

Founded in the shadows of [[Tamzyrr]], the Order of Eternal Light has worked with quiet diligence, studying and researching the Arkati and their adherents for centuries. While an ancient order, little is known about its origin and founders as all of its recorded history, archives and numerous members were destroyed by the eruption of [[Mount Ysspethos]] in 4327. Those that survived, having learned tragic lessons, rebuilt the Order as a decentralized organization, creating safeguards for the protection of future archives and knowledge.
 
As is with most long-lived organizations, the Order of Eternal Light has traditions, rituals and sayings that have evolved over time. There are two important sayings that are often overheard between members. The first is the Order’s formal greeting - “Eternal Light”. Said to have originally been part of formal ceremonies, over time it has evolved into a greeting between members. The second is “In these halls, there are no secrets.” While the true origins and meaning have been lost, it is now used as a way to gently admonish a fellow member who is not being completely honest or not setting aside their personal beliefs and bias. In more recent times, it has been shortened further to a simple “In these halls…”
 
Today, the Order has spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]], having a presence in nearly all cities and towns within the Empire’s claimed borders. Individual chapters are generally autonomous and loosely organized, with a First Seeker, First Keeper and First Pilgrim being the de facto leadership group if a consequential decision needs to be made.

===Recent History===

In late Imaerasta in the year 5120, tasked with founding a new chapter on the frontier, Pilgrim Bakarus embarked from [[Jantalar]] to the northern reaches of the Empire. While assisting the [[Icemule Trace]] community, he became acquainted with Zeminar and Aenternoll L’Draggor. In 5122, in the month of Eorgaen, the three formally created the Solhaven chapter of The Order of Eternal Light.

==[[Kuon]] Lecture==

'''Event:''' A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers 
'''Date:''' 1/16/5125 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Imaera's Grove, Solhaven 
'''Host:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus

It is always a privilege for the Order to support other respected organizations. When the opportunity to host an event at Winternights in support of [[Cairnfang Manor]] and Solhaven presented itself, the answer was immediately yes. In his wisdom, First Pilgrim Bakarus knew exactly the topic to present on. Kuon, the patron of herbs and flowers, is a lesser known spirit who has an outsized impact on our lives, and in the dead of winter, it never hurts to give a bit of hope towards the coming Spring.

The report has been filed in the Archives and is now available to be read:

[[2025-01-16 A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers (log)|A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers]]

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I am impressed. While I could not personally attend the event, after reading the report, Issiah managed to hold his own against a [[Magister]] no less. Magister Raelee is a formidable debater with a near endless knowledge on the subject of well... knowledge. Having had time to reflect on the report, I am drawn to what Raelee mentioned about the Erithians, how they often worship Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae together. Perhaps there are other Arkati we should consider pairing the same way.

For those who were also unable to attend, request a copy of the report. It is a worthwhile read:

==Ivas Temple Tour==

'''Event:''' [[Ivas]], Two Sides of Temptation 
'''Date:''' 1/20/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Reporter:''' [[Lylia (prime)|Lylia Rashere]] 
'''Location:''' Ivas's temple in the [[Vipershroud]] & the Garden of Desire in Solhaven 
'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

<pre{{log2}}>
Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

2025-01-16 A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers (log)

2025-02-16T21:59:44Z

THADROOP: Log of Kuon Event

First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus of [[The Order of Eternal Light Keeper Archives|The Order of Eternal Light]] led a discussion on [[Kuon]] in Imaera's Grove in [[Solhaven]]. This lecture was during Winternights, hosted by [[Cairnfang Manor]].

''(Ambient messaging, some player actions and non-related conversation have been removed to improve clarity.)''

==Event Log==
<pre{{log2}}>
[Imaera's Grove, Orchard - 13176 - 13176] (u4749607)
The veil of leaves above parts toward the outer edge of the grounds, flooding the grove with pure moonlight. Nurtured by natural sustenance, a scattering of miniature lemon trees release an ambrosial citrus fragrance in the air. The ends of a few branches are carefully pruned on an angle, a reverent gesture toward the Lady's plentiful gifts.
Also here: Sirona, Dwi, Sir Guarrin, Swampwort, Zeminar, Bakarus, Magister Raelee, Lord Lorcrest, Sister-in-arms Mourdeyan, Peatwyn, Protector Kilthal, Sir Cryheart, Kippe, Lady Cylnthia, Squire Delindra, Granfenberg, Telare, Jisandra
Obvious paths: east, southwest, down

Swampwort says, "Kuon's presence is not here, but anywhere plants grow is a fine place to speak of my Patron."

'''Bakarus cordially says, "First and foremost… Eternal Light, friends."'''

Cylnthia bows her head and chants a short prayer, causing golden brown and green light to momentarily coalesce in front of her.

Kilthal glances at a coiled serpent candle.

Lorcrest strides a few steps forward.

Lorcrest moves over to Bakarus and stands ready to guard him from attack.

You echo, "Eternal Light, First Pilgrim."

Speaking to Bakarus, Cylnthia repeats, "Eternal Light."

'''Bakarus recites:'''
'''"Thank you all for gathering here this evening. Certainly thank you to Cairnfang for hosting such a wonderful few days of activities. We all seek warmth and light during this time of the year."'''

Speaking raspily to Bakarus, Zeminar says, "Eternal light."

Zeminar nods.

Peatwyn exclaims, "Eternal Light!"

'''Bakarus says, "I understand if many of you do not know me, I tend to stay among the temples where I am most comfortable. My name is Bakarus Klysus, a pilgrim in the Order of Eternal Light."'''

The serpent candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.

'''Bakarus informally says, "Tonight's session will be a short discussion regarding Kuon and some of the other spirits we acknowledge and worship in these lands. I wished to share some general knowledge of what we might call lesser spirits or Arkati."'''

Swampwort bows his head and chants a short prayer, causing gold and brown light to momentarily coalesce in front of him.

'''Bakarus says, "I also wish to point out that if any of you have knowledge or experiences regarding Kuon or the spirits in general, please share them at any time. This is an open discussion."'''

Bakarus points at Swampwort.

Cylnthia smiles.

Swampwort nods slowly.

'''Bakarus says, "I am pleased to have learned that one among us is of Kuon."'''

Bakarus applauds Swampwort.

Speaking to Bakarus, Swampwort says, "I yield to the host."

A faint, flickering light emanates from a coiled serpent candle, warming the area with its glow.

Telare grins.

'''Bakarus says, "I tend to avoid the term lesser as these beings are far beyond our own power and have been granted some level of immortality. Understanding that the word immortal causes great debate and disagreement, I mean it in the sense that these beings do not perish through age or disease or common causes that end life here as we know it."'''

Cylnthia says, "I followed Kuon for quite some time, myself, as well. Only recently did Imaera call me back to her fold."

'''Bakarus concernedly says, "Ahh."'''

Swampwort adopts an agreeable expression.

'''Bakarus says, "Well."'''

The angry shriek of an owl suddenly erupts from near Cryheart.

'''Bakarus says, "I began thinking about Kuon for two reasons recently. One, I simply realized that I needed to learn more about these divine spirits as I spend much of my time studying the Liabo pantheon. Second, as I look across the lands there are times that I fear Lady Imaera may be withdrawing from us. Undead roam in new areas trampling nature underfoot and forests seeming to decay and wither in front of our eyes."'''

'''Speaking to Cylnthia, Bakarus says, "I hope your lady shines her light, truly."'''

Bakarus nods at Cylnthia.

A coiled serpent candle burns with a warm golden light.

Cylnthia nods at Bakarus.

Zeminar turns an inquisitive ear toward Bakarus.

'''Bakarus says, "But that is a discussion for another time."'''

Cylnthia says, "Every minute and day, she does."

'''Bakarus says, "Perhaps in these dark times a spirit such as Kuon may become more important to us."'''

Swampwort nods slowly.

'''Bakarus simply says, "Kuon is often depicted as a giantman and is said to have been blessed by Imaera in the days following the Ur-Daemon war. Legend says he knelt beside Imaera to aid in the regrowth and healing of the flora of the land. Due to this, Imaera blessed certain herbs to have healing properties which are commonly known to us today."'''

Cylnthia nods in agreement at Bakarus.

'''Bakarus says, "Acantha, Ambrominas and Basal being the most referred to in the literature I could find. Though, I should add in an interesting and likely incorrect theory I was told regarding acantha leaf - the herb known as Deathwort."'''

Dwi blinks.

Peatwyn gasps.

The serpent candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

'''Bakarus says, "An alchemist I spoke to believes that Deathwort is some sort of poisonous perversion of the Acantha leaf. I for one have never seen Deathwort and believe the tales of its existence to be far-fetched, likely conjured up in an effort to frighten."'''

Peatwyn blushes a glowing shade of red.

Bakarus shrugs.

Bakarus glances at Peatwyn.

Telare grins.

Zeminar nods slowly.

Cylnthia says, "Very interesting."

Swampwort shakes his head.

'''Bakarus says, "Legend also states that as Kuon walks, despite being a giantman of immense size, that flowers grow beneath his footsteps and no plants are ever crushed by his passing."'''

Cylnthia nods at Bakarus.

Swampwort says, "Most herbs called worts are healing herbs, such as my namesake."

'''Bakarus interestedly says, "On a quick side note regarding herbs, and I must disclose that I am no herbalist or alchemist, I did find this nearby and believe it may have healing properties."'''

Bakarus taps a glistening viper thorn, which is in his right hand.

Bakarus carefully places a glistening viper thorn on the ground.

'''Bakarus says, "Whoever wishes."'''

Cylnthia gazes thoughtfully at a glistening viper thorn.

Dwi rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Cylnthia squints at a glistening viper thorn.

Zeminar pores over a glistening viper thorn, engrossed in the study of it.

'''Bakarus says, "I will leave it here for any who may want to use it on the sick and infirmed."'''

Dwi grunts at the thorn possessively, glaring at the same time!

Peatwyn says, "Like as if from a rose."

Telare takes a drink from his dry Selanthia merlot.

'''Bakarus says, "Admittedly, it was difficult to find information tying directly to Kuon's presence being seen or directly noticed here in our surrounding areas. I was able to speak with a few from Icemule who recalled a time when a giantman from the Wsalamir clan visited the town. He was a cleric of Kuon, but his name seems to have faded into history. From what I could gather at the time, he either helped build or purified a well there, though this was decades ago. Apparently his magic was significant and truly in the healing spirit that Kuon would champion and represent."'''

'''Bakarus wonderingly asks, "Again, I am curious if anyone has any anecdotes or tales related to Kuon that I did not uncover during my research?"'''

Cylnthia says, "The empathic spell Regeneration was given to empaths by Kuon."

Peatwyn asks, "Are most of his stories originating from the north?"

Speaking heartily to Bakarus, Dwi asks, "Issit true he's Aiea's baby?"

Dwi grunts, amused.

Cylnthia says, "He came at the height of a wasting sickness that was affecting empaths, and taught them how to overcome it."

'''Speaking to Dwi, Bakarus says, "I do not believe so, no. However I do wish to discuss their similarities in a moment."'''

Swampwort says, "One thing I did not note, of mention."

(Telare swirls the wine around a bit in his glass.)

Kippe thoughtfully specifies, "A ranger's ability to regrow herbs in a location -may- be a gift from Kuon."

Cylnthia nods at Kippe.

'''Bakarus says, "And thank you for sharing, certainly."'''

Swampwort says, "Is that Kuon will be with us so long as there is a single green leaf still alive on Elanthia.

'''Bakarus says, "I was also informed that House Sovyn has a wonderful herb garden dedicated to Kuon that I was able to visit. The statues there are quite remarkable, dedicated to Imaera and Kuon. I would highly recommend seeing it, if you are able."'''

Speaking to Kippe, Cylnthia says, "Indeed, that would be quite the gift from Him. As would an empath's ability to grow herbs as well."

The black ora prayerbeads around Bakarus's neck is momentarily engulfed in a shroud of darkness!

'''Bakarus asks, "I can assume most here are familiar with the Dragonspine Fane and its relevance as a common pilgrimage for worshippers of all faiths?"'''

Bakarus glances around the area.

'''Bakarus says, "I believe it is worth noting that the fifth stair on the journey contains both depictions of Kuon and Aeia side by side. Similar color schemes are evident, and while Kuon seems to represent the more curated and kept side of nature, Aeia's realm is more distinctly wild and lush in nature."'''

'''Bakarus says, "Aeia, of course, being a local deity mostly worshipped in River's Rest, but I have known many who have found comfort in her spirit. The two seem to represent slightly different aspects of nature, healing and regrowth. Though in the case of Aeia, I could not find a definitive theory of her origin story. If anyone here has heard tales or legends regarding that matter, I would be more than happy to hear them."'''

Telare nods understandingly.

Dwi concernedly asks, "Wait...Am I bout to join a cult?"

Dwi surveys the area.

Kippe smiles at Bakarus.

'''Speaking to Dwi, Bakarus says, "Too late my friend."'''

'''Bakarus knowingly says, "I understand there are far too many of these local or "lesser" spirits to give a comprehensive discussion on in one sitting, and I doubt anyone would want to sit for that long. However, I do encourage everyone to take time to learn and understand these forces that shape our lives. There are many to explore and learn about, no matter how seemingly small or insignificant they may appear to be at first glance. Meyno, Tilamaire and Voln come to mind."'''

Swampwort says, "All who live could be considered members of Kuon's following, especially if they use herbs."

Bakarus agrees with Swampwort.

Cryheart takes a drink from his spring water.

'''Bakarus says, "The Huntress for instance..."'''

'''Bakarus says, "I am also quite pleased to know more than a few who consider The Huntress to be their patron deity. Her legend is remarkable as it ties into Arachne and her fierce demeanor draws those who feel a certain thrill when on the hunt. We in fact have a few in our Order."'''

Peatwyn chants a short but reverent orison, asking to have rightful vengeance delivered upon the deserving.

Swampwort nods at Peatwyn.

Peatwyn says, "May her horns ring across the valleys of time."

Kippe gazes up into the sky.

'''Bakarus says, "Before we depart, I do have something I wish to give away to thank you all for your attendance this evening. It is a serene painting of nature done by our very own Sister, Meliyara."'''

'''Bakarus says, "I have never done trivia, so I figured we should give it a try in an informal setting."'''

Peatwyn smiles playfully.

Bakarus nods respectfully to you.

Speaking to Bakarus, you whisper aloud, "We must still discuss the fee for the commission of this work."

'''Bakarus says, "I believe it pays homage to Imaera, and moving forward in each of our events, I will be giving further editions away dedicated to the Liabo pantheon. My hope is that whoever wins it might have a place to display the piece or ability to share it with others. Perhaps even an enterprising art collector gains many in the series."'''

You casually glance at Bakarus.

'''Speaking to you, Bakarus says, "I have lawyers."'''

You glance appraisingly at Zeminar.

Bakarus produces an elaborate gold-framed painting from the depths of his pale viridian cloak.

'''Bakarus says, "We will do an easy bit of trivia, and the first to answer this question then earns the painting, if that is agreeable."'''

'''Bakarus recites:'''
'''"What trio of lesser spirits have no known symbols?"'''

Cylnthia says, "Meyno, Khaarne, Illoke."

Bakarus produces a ruby-flecked Kuon figurine from the depths of his pale viridian cloak.

You nod approvingly at Cylnthia.

Peatwyn applauds.

Bakarus carefully places a ruby-flecked Kuon figurine on the ground.

You say, "Well done."

Swampwort gazes with interest at a ruby-flecked Kuon figurine.

'''Speaking to Cylnthia, Bakarus asks, "So that everyone may share in the art, would you mind showing it about?"'''

Bakarus offers Cylnthia an elaborate gold-framed painting.

Speaking to Bakarus, Cylnthia says, "Indeed."

Cylnthia accepts Bakarus's gold-framed painting.

Cylnthia recites:
"At first glance, the canvas appears to depict an idyllic scene, rolling fields of green in the foreground giving way to a cheery farmer burning logs in the distance, a coil of smoke rising from the fire pit. Puffy white clouds in a lazy, clear sky add a touch of innocence and serenity. Upon closer inspection, the deep green of the grass hides small, bronze-colored snakes, slithering playfully. A discordant note is struck by the stack near the farmer, as it becomes clear that the stiff logs may not be wood."

Bakarus produces a burnished golden Kuon symbol from the depths of his pale viridian cloak.

Telare says, "Quite lovely."

Cylnthia recites:
"It reads, 'The Work is Never Done'"

Swampwort accepts Bakarus's Kuon symbol.

Xanthalas grins.

Peatwyn ponders.

'''Bakarus says, "This will conclude our brief discussion for this evening. Thank you to Cairnfang and the Order of Eternal Light whose Keepers and Seekers strive to gain knowledge and investigate Arkati activity in our world. If any have interest about learning more about the Order, please find myself, First Seeker Zeminar or any of our Brothers and Sisters. All are more than capable of discussing what we do and membership into our group."'''

Speaking to Bakarus, Swampwort says, "A fine representation."

Cryheart nods at Bakarus.

Zeminar nods once.

Telare says, "Thank you for hosting such an engaging discussion."

Speaking to Bakarus, Cylnthia says, "This will assuredly be put in a place of honor, in my home."

Speaking raspily to Bakarus, Zeminar says, "Eternal light friend. Thank you for the lesson."

'''Bakarus says, "Thank you all for taking the time."'''

Peatwyn says, "Eternal Light. May Phoen's brilliance illuminate every corner."

Kuon, the patron of herbs and flowers, is a lesser known spirit who has an outsized impact on our lives, and in the dead of winter, it never hurts to give a bit of hope for the coming Spring.

The report has been filed in the Archives and is now available to be read:

[[2025-01-16 A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers (log)|A Discussion on Kuon, Patron of Herbs and Flowers]]

-- Aenternoll, First Keeper

==[[Fash'lo'nae]] and [[Lumnis]] Debate==

'''Event:''' A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge 
'''Date:''' 1/25/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Location:''' Lumnis' Temple in Solhaven 
'''Hosts:''' [[Raelee (prime)|Magister Raelee Svala]] & Issiah

I am impressed. While I could not personally attend the event, after reading the report, Issiah managed to hold his own against a [[Magister]] no less. Magister Raelee is a formidable debater with a near endless knowledge on the subject of well... knowledge. Having had time to reflect on the report, I am drawn to what Raelee mentioned about the Erithians, how they often worship Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae together. Perhaps there are other Arkati we should consider pairing the same way.

For those who were also unable to attend, request a copy of the report. It is a worthwhile read:

==Ivas Temple Tour==

'''Event:''' [[Ivas]], Two Sides of Temptation 
'''Date:''' 1/20/5124 
'''Archivist:''' First Keeper Aenternoll L'Draggor 
'''Reporter:''' [[Lylia (prime)|Lylia Rashere]] 
'''Location:''' Ivas's temple in the [[Vipershroud]] & the Garden of Desire in Solhaven 
'''Host:''' Seeker [[Traiva (prime)|Traiva Verethundi]]

The Arkati never cease to amaze me. Any preconceived notion of Ivas I had was destroyed by Seeker Traiva. A lifetime spent believing Ivas was merely seduction, carnal pleasures, and disease, now replaced with a new understanding of what desire and control can be through her worship. I will be mulling these thoughts for weeks to come I'm sure. For those that were unable to attend, I do encourage you to request a copy of Lylia's report:

==Ronan Commune==

'''Event:''' [[Ronan]] Commune 
'''Date:''' 3/8/5123 
'''Archivist:''' First Pilgrim Bakarus Klysus 
'''Location:''' [[Icemule Trace]], Hall of the Mind 
'''Notables:''' [[Falvicar_(prime)|Falvicar Jalcon]] & [[Roelon_(prime)|Roelen McColend]]

A commune with Ronan was held on Leyan, the 8th day of Charlatos, 5123, prompted by a series of dreams that Roelon had experienced some days earlier. I had the privilege of witnessing this successful commune first hand. Falvicar and Roelon, both known Ronanites, led the ritual.

The [[Tartan Dreamer: Nightmarish Future|dream]] as shared by Roelon:

<pre{{log2}}>
Shadows dance through your sleep, dark and terrible. You look down at a field of cracked and dry earth, hideous blue light bleeding up from below. The air is impossibly hot, and trees around you are ablaze, blown by a sere breeze that makes their fires dance like candle flames.

As your smoke-stung eyes search about, you see a man in black. He has the build of a warrior, but his form is tortured. His skin is as cracked as the earth, and from it blazes the same unsettling energy. The energy is of a hue that you cannot name, some unknowable shade that is beyond the spectrum of colors you have come to know. He looks down upon you from atop a heap of smoldering bodies, each more twisted and broken than the last.

You are haunted by the last shreds of the dream. It is almost as if you can feel the last tingles of the immense heat that assaulted you in that desert landscape, a tormented, burning land without relief. You recall the sight of the hills to the east of you, burned clear of snow and trees and wildlife, the ruins of the abbey scattered like a broken crown over the barren earth.
</pre>

My recounting of the commune:

<pre{{log2}}>
The two halves of this room have been covered--ceiling, walls, and floor--with black granite and grey marble. Meeting seamlessly in the middle, the two kinds of stone have been carved into gently sloping, crenulated curves. Set against the backdrop of a bas-relief carving in the grey northern wall is an altar of misty white vaalin, while an altar of snowflake obsidian lies at the foot of the granite southern wall.

Falvicar falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Falvicar calmly opens his eyes.

(Roelon works at filling the empty space of the circle with more fine black particles, smoothing it as he spreads the sand with his ebon falcon prayer-feather. He then traces a single Saramar rune on the edge closest to himself.)

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

The shadows stretch toward Falvicar, crawling along the ground in fits and spurts. One twines about his leg and vanishes into his flesh. An instant later, blackness pools in his eyes, their surfaces glowing faintly silver.

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Not all that moves in the shadows moves for ill."

In a voice not his own, Falvicar rasps, "Vile powers move as they have moved before, shrouded in dusk." You notice that he has no shadow.

Five pillars of blackness stretch along the southern wall, lightless and impenetrable against the dark marble.

Falvicar says, in a voice not his own, "Their hand stretches across the face of the world. Alone, you will fall. Together, there is hope." A trickle of blood drips from his nose.

The voice speaking with Falvicar's mouth and lungs attenuates like a candle flame burning low. "They must not claim... the knowledge..." More blood streams from his nose.

With a last burst of energy, Falvicar groans, "Unity. Or destruction."

* Falvicar drops dead at your feet!
</pre>

The symbolism did not go unnoticed when Falvicar spoke about vile powers. Both the reference to a hand and the five shadows that appeared leads one to believe that there could be five [[Arkati]] involved. We shall see if this line of reasoning holds true. Perhaps I will be able to add a further addendum at a later date. Nevertheless, this is something the Seekers must investigate.

A final note - I find it curious that Falvicar perished. I assume Ronan would prefer having his supplicants alive to assist in their constant war with [[Sheru]] and [[Luukos]].

|tier = Prominent
|founded = 2022
|insignia = Three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald}}
The Order of Eternal Light is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] focused on improving understanding of the [[Arkati]]. It is based in [[Solhaven]]. 

==Purpose==

The stated goal of the Order:

<blockquote>''The Order seeks enlightenment of the Arkati for all peoples through the study of the various religions, religious orders, rituals and cults on Elanthia. All are welcome in the sharing of knowledge, even the faithless should they earnestly seek to study the Gods.''</blockquote>

===Core Tenets===
Members of the Order are to be:
 
::'''Curious'''
:::Never cease seeking out opportunities to further our understanding of the Arkati.

::'''Open-minded'''
:::Set aside personal beliefs and biases. All Arkati and [[Pantheon|Pantheons]] are worthy of our study.

::'''Vigilant'''
:::Move aggressively to investigate reports and rumors when the Arkati or their avatars walk among us.

::'''Devoted'''
:::Be purposeful in action and remain dedicated in support to fellow Order members and our communities.

==Insignia==

The insignia of The Order of Eternal Light is three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald.

* The three rings are a reflection of the never ending pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
* The left ring represents mortals.
* The right ring represents the Arkati.
* The central ring represents the unbreakable connection between Gods and mortals.
* The faint scales covering the rings are a reminder of the connection to the [[Drakes]], for without them, the Arkati do not exist.
* The bronze used to fashion the rings is a symbol of humility, knowing that true enlightenment is impossible for mortals.
* The emerald backdrop symbolizes the natural world in which all mortals exist.

==Structure==

===Keepers===
As the scholars and chroniclers of the Order, the Keepers are responsible for the safekeeping and curation of the Order's manuscripts and archives. A Keeper's role is not purely academic though. They seek to further enlightenment by hosting lectures and debates, guiding pilgrimages, and conducting experimental rites and rituals.

===Seekers===
As the investigators of the Order, the Seekers are responsible for investigating all reported Arkati activity in Elanthia as they become aware of the encounters. Tenacious in the pursuit of the truth, Seekers interview witnesses, collect tangible evidence, and thoroughly document their findings.

===Guardians===
As the fighting elite of the Order, the Guardians are responsible for guiding and protecting those seeking enlightenment. Decisive when provoked, Guardians are often found patrolling the roads throughout Elanthia, providing safe passage for pilgrims on their journey.

==Membership==

===Requirements===
All with a sincere and earnest curiosity to better understand the Arkati are welcome to join the Order.

*[[The Order of Eternal Light Keeper Archives|Keeper Archives]]

==History==

Founded in the shadows of [[Tamzyrr]], the Order of Eternal Light has worked with quiet diligence, studying and researching the Arkati and their adherents for centuries. While an ancient order, little is known about its origin and founders as all of its recorded history, archives and numerous members were destroyed by the eruption of [[Mount Ysspethos]] in 4327. Those that survived, having learned tragic lessons, rebuilt the Order as a decentralized organization, creating safeguards for the protection of future archives and knowledge.
 
As is with most long-lived organizations, the Order of Eternal Light has traditions, rituals and sayings that have evolved over time. There are two important sayings that are often overheard between members. The first is the Order’s formal greeting - “Eternal Light”. Said to have originally been part of formal ceremonies, over time it has evolved into a greeting between members. The second is “In these halls, there are no secrets.” While the true origins and meaning have been lost, it is now used as a way to gently admonish a fellow member who is not being completely honest or not setting aside their personal beliefs and bias. In more recent times, it has been shortened further to a simple “In these halls…”
 
Today, the Order has spread throughout the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]], having a presence in nearly all cities and towns within the Empire’s claimed borders. Individual chapters are generally autonomous and loosely organized, with a First Seeker, First Keeper and First Pilgrim being the de facto leadership group if a consequential decision needs to be made.

===Recent History===

In late Imaerasta in the year 5120, tasked with founding a new chapter on the frontier, Pilgrim Bakarus embarked from [[Jantalar]] to the northern reaches of the Empire. While assisting the [[Icemule Trace]] community, he became acquainted with Zeminar and Aenternoll L’Draggor. In 5122, in the month of Eorgaen, the three formally created the Solhaven chapter of The Order of Eternal Light.
