  1. Past hour
  2. " . . . They are Lectors?" queries an old and retired Arch-Lector. Truly, he was perplexed.
  3. [!] The Pharaoh looks at the missive from a familiar soul with a brow raised. After reading through it, he rises to his feet and tosses it into the blazing of fire that rests at the foot of the Ra'tuhmet's shrine. He then shakes his head, walking off to the temple of Truth to mull over these matters.
  4. "What the Lector?" The Hyspian Sorvian Evaristus de Mantequilla, once a Lector of the Third Flame says.
  5. Khazaefron, the clan chief of the blackroots, eldest of the dwed epiphytes, Keeper of Hefrumm casts his vote for Thurgrimbindal. "Ney otha sensible choice."
  6. seems alright, i agree that the redline should be deleted and just refer to ixris kid lore
  7. [!] A Missive would be posted to the public notice board in Valdev, as well as delivered to the Royal Duma and the King and Queen of Haense via Lector-Skull. [!] Tech-Lector's Response on the Edict of Cleansing Drafted on the 16th day of Msitza ag Dargund of 524 E.S. By Rakhnar Uristson, Forgemaster and Armsman of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, Ordinance Officer of the Sacred Guard of Owyn, Lector-Alchemist "Take hold of this blade, a symbol of holiness, and by it you shall cleanse mankind of sin." Dark has grown these days. The light shines dimly and the shadows grow long, their tendrils entangled in deep places where one cannot see. These are trying times for good and holy folk everywhere. In the lands I call home, here in the Dual Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska, folk know this struggle greater than most. The Great War against the Veletzers. The dreadful raids of the Harrower and Necromancers, the infiltration of our society by Inferai, the Kidnapping of Royals at the hands of Orcs, and the Murder of the Venerated Queen Amaya. All just to name a few. I am an honored citizen of Valdev and this Kingdom. I have fought and bled in her wars as a soldier in the Brotherhood, slayed many foes to protect her people and her lands, labored in the fields to provide ration for her armies, toiled in the armories to forge her weapons of war. I’ve served her community in Valdev’s taverns during my early days here, assisted in public construction projects, and have done my civic duty in paying taxes and giving alms to the poor and needy. Never once asking for payment or reward in return. But, I am also a Canonist, a servant of God, and a proud member of The Lectorate of Exalted Owyn and the Sacred Guard, a Holy Order which has not only now been cast away and reduced to a ‘cult’ in the eyes of the Koeng and the Duma, but has even been outlawed and banished in accordance with the Edict of Cleansing as issued by the Crown of the Dual Kingdom. In these days where the enemies of Horren’s Folk and the Lord God are abundant and plentiful, it baffles me that we would turn upon our own. Within the Edict, the Lectorate of Owyn have been accused of many things, spoken of as borderline crimes against not only the Kingdom but to God himself, many of which are simply blatant falsehoods and accusations, while others are the results of simple misunderstandings. I aim to address these accusations directly. Firstly, we have been spoken of using magicks, as if we are some accursed void sorcerers or demon-worshippers. The Lectorate has always made use of simple and advanced alchemy throughout its history, and we are no different. The practice of Alchemy and the use of Animii constructs are, while practiced by few in the Dual-Kingdom, not illegal or unsanctified by the Church of Canon. So I cannot fathom why its use in this particular case would be spoken of in a bad light. Secondly, we are accused of disgracing and defiling the dead, as if we are blood mages or necromancers. I can understand this misconception, specifically in our use of Lector-Skulls. Simply put, these skulls are in no way, shape, or form made of organic material, dead or otherwise. They are forged of iron, and made to match the likeness of fallen Lectors and Warriors who had a wish in life to continue their service beyond the Seven Skies, even if it is purely symbolic. Moreover, I would say that the Order’s use of the skull as a common icon upon our tapestries and arms and armor are highly symbolic, bringing forth a personification of the constant struggle and sacrifice of the men and women who fight and die to preserve light and holiness, as well as being a very literal anatomical representation of Mankind, as no other descent race has a skull exactly in the shape of that of a Man. Lastly, we are spoken of polluting the rivers and air around the city. This we understand to be a valid reason for concern. Our Manufactorim, or simply Factory, does produce smoke from coal fuel, as well as slag waste from the production of steel, both of which are dispensed in the most efficient manner possible through stacks and river-dumping. However, it is worth saying that before plans for construction were even blueprinted, the Order had worked closely with His Majesty King Aleksandr, God rest his soul, as well as the Stewarts of Valdev and the Office of the Royal Treasury to ensure that the sight for construction was distant enough so that the waste products would not affect the populace and fauna of the lands surrounding Valvev and Waltonburg, and that construction would be done with as little environmental effect as possible. It is also worth noting that the method of disposing of the slag was temporary until we could construct and install a sophisticated slag removal system, which would recycle the slag for different uses. The Order has ensured that the construction of the factory was done with the complete consent of the Crown and the Duma, was built within the defined guidelines and requirements laid out for us by the Crown and its Offices, only for it to now be scheduled for demolition after months of labor without so much as a word spoken to the Lectorate. Now, with the written issued laid out and addressed, I would write here a list of the Blessed Labors and Virtues the Order and it’s Guard have brought during our service in Valdev and the Dual-Kingdom. - Aiding on many occasions the Brotherhood of Saint Karl in joint-operations. Fighting and dying alongside our fellow brothers and sisters in arms. - Including the assaults made on the Harrower’s forces, the siege of the Shadow Raiders encampment, the efforts made to reclaim Castle Morteskvan, as well as numerous skirmishes with the Harrower’s forces. - Provided a rapid-response defense force for Waltonburg and it’s people in the absence of the Brotherhood. - The destruction of necromantic forces scouring the graveyards of Waltonburg. - The destruction of an Azdrazi raiding party on Waltonburg, which resulted in the An-Gho routing his forces. - The repelling and defeat of numerous Ferryman and Orc raiding parties during the Great Coalition War. - The destruction of a demonic knight whose aim was to maim a young Chris Weiss and other children. - The production of arms and armor for the Brotherhood of Saint Karl during the Great Coalition War. - The production of cannon and powder for the Brotherhood of Saint Karl during the Great Coalition War. - The production of medical supplies and alchemical medicine for the Clinic of Valdev and the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. - Providing advanced medical care to the sick and wounded, as well as giving Animii limb replacements to those who need it free of charge, in the name of charity. - Providing training in the arts of metalworking, alchemy, and medicine free of charge to the citizens of Valdev and the Dual-Kingdom. - Providing clergy services to the good people of Canon, including officiating weddings, baptisms, and performing funeral rites. - Providing care and upkeep to holy grounds around the Chapel in Waltonburg at no expense of the Kingdom or the Church. - Aiding in construction of various infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and fortifications. These are just to name the major actions and projects we have conducted during our time in the Dual-Kingdom. In conclusion to all this, I can only ask one thing: why? Why has the Crown and the Duma suddenly turned upon us, when we have done nothing but good for the Kingdom and her people? The Lectorate cannot understand such a sudden, radical shift in attitude and doctrine. We would implore the Koeng and the Duma to reconsider their decisions made in the Edict. We are open to negotiate and speak with the Crown and the Duma should there be room for negotiations. We are all people of God, and aim to serve him righteously and with unwavering faith; so in these trying times we should not seek to cast down our brothers, but lift them up. The Lectorate shall await the response to this missive. God bless you all.
  8. yes... finally.. backpacks that look like minecraft
  9. VERILY, THE SON OF MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN FILLED WITH VANITY. KNOW, THAT THIS DECEIT IS ONLY RESERVED TO IDOLIZERS. YOU HAVE SINNED. FOR THIS, OUR LORD GOD IS MERCIFUL, AND HE WILL FORGIVE YOU. AT THE SAME PLACE YOU CAUSED DESTRUCTION, THERE HIDES AN EMPTY PYRE OF OWYN, FORGOTTEN. BURN IT YET MORE, AND WE SHALL SEE TO IT THAT THIS WAS MISGUIDED FAITH. Margareta did not fear death - what cause was there, when death was merely ascension by terms more grave? Indeed, she embraced it - she would be perfected in GOD’s Bosom, and made whole. Death was no more ascension, now - it was stasis. This much, she had been told: that man’s sin was so grievous and so unrepentant, that the Gates of the Skies had been closed; that the soul of folly could no longer be purified. She had not thought sin so rife, for she was a woman of pride - of prideful nature and prideful action, both. She had burnt idols, and made sacrilege to what was once-holy. This was her grave sin: that she determined faith by her will alone, and enacted her will of faith as unilateral - that her faith was divided from the flock, and the people, and all the goodly souls that GOD had so carved. She was rebuked. Her shrines were her repentance. THE HEARTLANDERS The pyre was candle, only, and it was found and lit by Margareta, and her alone, for this was her land-home, and this shrine was truly hers to bind to. It was later expanded - an action not of hers, for she did not know metal-smithing, nor had the gold to expend on such a costly thing. She was glad for it. The Pyre of Owyn THE REINMAREN Her second shrine was one unplanned. She had made visitation to Reinmar, and therein found and gathered some folk - an ag-ed Holy Dame, an Owynist-yet-to-be, a Reinmaren Sergeant, and a pittance of local militiamen. It was set in the lake in the upper-city, and dedicated to Saint-King Caius. The Lake Shrine of Saint-King Caius THE ADUNIANS The third, came upon a visit to the White-City of the Adunians. Thereupon, found she some man made pitiful and lonely, and bade his following, and sent him unto a girl-alike. She would not know their conclusion - of happiness or discontent either, and she was contented in it. There, where she had met that sorrowful boy-child, she erected her shrine. It was by the aid of a becrowned woman that it was made, and, by her will, dedicated to Saint-King Caius. The Sorrowful Shrine of Saint-King Caius THE BALIANITES A fourth was founded in Balian, where she found much merriment. A knight and her babe made aid in its construction, clearing that tavern-corner where it would be made. It was dedicated to Saint Tobias of Sarkoz, on suggestion from the tavernkeep there. The Tavern Shrine of Saint Tobias THE HYSPIANS A fifth came to be in Hyspia. Some great travel with her wood-cart had brought her to the city, for she had been waylaid on her path to the Petrine, following her meeting with some pious and goodly nomad-folk. Therein, she traveled about the city with an elf, who so agreed - in hesitation - to make aid in the shrine’s construction. Another man, of warrior-bearing and indeterminate homeland, made aid in its making. Neither knew of the canonized, or the beatified, or the venerated - but they chose among some few letters the initial of a saint, and it was hence dedicated to Saint Richard of Aldersburg. The Tree Shrine of Saint Richard THE HIGHLANDERS A final was founded in the new-built city of the Haeseni, where an elf of reddened skin joined her about the city. They would find a boy, of distant heritage but local growing, who would help in its locating and construction. There, between their church and barracks, a military-shrine was made, and dedicated initially to Blessed Francisco Altamarino. It would later be rededicated, in times unknown to her, to Saint Otto of Vanderfell. The Barrack Shrine of Saint Otto & Blessed Francisco HER FORGOTTEN PYRES WERE THUS BURNT.
  10. Valindra read over the missive, seemingly intently. However, after checking it over in full, the faintest of chuckles left her lips. "Heh, butte."

    Bwintery

    You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.” ((How do you respond?)) Example:my village was destroyed when i was young my village was a village of prophecy tellers im the last of my kind im travelling the world helping people with there troubles but i have never sided in a war i will be nutral like all my kind that is my story.
