Princeton 395 Share Posted April 20, 2019 [!] Missives are widely spread around Llyria and the surrounding area, written on fine parchment in impeccably neat and flourishing handwriting. [!] ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ “ Ever blessed shall those be that follow the light. Join me, those Arcanists born from my blessing, to guide others down the path and to rebirth our world in light. “ The Celestial Order seeks to bathe the realm in the blessed light of the Arcane Mage’s gift and act as patrons of magic to the realm. The Order seeks prosperity for all regardless of their national affiliation, their mundane worth or their godly practices. There is no monarch within the void but rather a collective seeking its infinite potential for the betterment of all instead of a few. The Order maintains the stance that this potential must be used to support the light rather than allow its abyssal darkness to leak corruption upon the realm. The majority of time spent by those in the Order will be dedicated to identifying key locations of interest before conducting delves or assisting other factions in their own process should they be called upon. The Order will also time take to identify prominent groups of Dark Magi casting the void in an abhorrent light and dismantle them if necessary. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ “ Like the cosmos above, each of us exists as a singularity of light in the expanse of the abyss. " Those dedicated Arcanists who heed my call may find their way to the Celestial Hall to join with their fellow Magi in the quest for Celestial Light. - Arcane Mage I.E. The Arcane MageWhile currently away on travels unknown, the Arcane Mage is the constant leader of the Celestial Order, the creator of Arcanism and the Shepherd of the Celestial Light. The Arcane Mage dictates the pursuit of the guild as well as the development of campaigns involving the Order. Also referred to as the Caretaker of the Celestials.The Oracle The Oracle leads the Grand Magus, acting as a liaison between the Arcane Mage and the rest of the Order. The AeonsThe Aeons represent those Celestials of extremely high caliber and are held in the highest regard for their devotion to the Celestial Light.The Grand MagusThe Grand Magus, not always a singular position, are tasked with leading the daily operations and functions of the Order to ensure it retains relevance throughout the realm. The MagusThe general assembly of Arcanists within the Order who are tasked with the discovery of anomalies within the realm as well as acting patrons to the various settlements the descendents have chosen to inhabit.The AcolytesThose newly accepted into the Order. Until they are proven to be of worth to the guild they are tasked with the duty of spreading the Order’s name as well as seeking out prospective members among other various tasks assigned to each individual. The EruditeThose still unlearned. Until they have become proficient those few selected to be trained by a teacher within the Order are done so before they may become Acolytes. They hold no duties within the Order nor are permitted free entrance.The Associates Those allies to the Order that are either non-magi, are not Arcanists or operate outside the context of the Order. “ We are beacons in the abyssal dark. "The Celestial Edict serves as the pillars of a Arcanist’s life. Honor, militance, scholarship, loyalty, balance, the void and the light, seven principles which define the path that each Arcanist follows. Through these, each Arcanist stands apart from other mages, more righteous and devoted to the void and its proper usage. The Edict of Honor The Arcanist wields the arcane with honor and righteousness. To repudiate the amorality of the void and its boons. They shall protect the innocent and aid the needy. Holding true to all their oaths and vows. To uphold their morality in service of creating a better world. To display a high level of respect to both allies and fellow magi. The Edict of Militance The Arcanist must begrudge the use of voidal violence. Yet wield it confidently when their ferocity is just. To deny the powermonger and the upstart. To protect the descendants from improper use of the void Risking their lives in devotion to their honored arcane probity. To lend aid to our allies in there time of need against unholy corruption. The Edict of Scholarship The Arcanist will go beyond militance and devote themselves to scholarship. Expanding knowledge upon the void and other pursuits. To serve as learned authorities upon various expertise. The Edict of Loyalty The Arcanist gives their life to their Order and its cause. Serving the Arcane Mage dutifully and rightfully. Never shall they harm their brothers and sisters of the Celestial Order. To safeguard the knowledge held within the Order against the greedy. To avoid associations that seek to harm the Order, And to protect its name against those who do it injustice. The Edict of Balance The Arcanist is bestowed with a noble duty. For the noble understand the plague of the tipping scale. That the pendulum swings in either direction, And what is dark may be illuminated For the order preserves this balance. The Edict of the Void The Arcanist shall become a master of voidal practice. To preach its every value and encourage its use within the Order. Indoctrinate others into the path of connection with the arcane. And decry the use of darker arts and their repugnant power. For we are of the void, enlightened by its endless offerings. The Edict of Celestial Light The Arcanist shall hold the light of the void in the highest regard. Those Celestials born from this blessed light as sacred, And seek to be a beacon of light in the Arcane Mage’s image. To be a bastion for the realm and assist in illuminating the dark.

Princeton 395 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) 16 hours ago, Parker said: “More people to kill.” “Funny how objective this can be. There is a clear distinction between those who would kill and maim with aid from the void – versus those who would seek to fight against such danger and maintain peace for the descendants of Arcas. Anyone else seeking justification for the use of their malignant magics obviously operates in a grey zone, unable 0r unwilling to aspire to such peacefulness.. Our Order stands on upon the simple ideal that that harming others with the void is wrong, and malfeasance that taints the name of voidal practitioners will not be tolerated.” Edited April 21, 2019 by Princeton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auriel_ 651 Share Posted April 21, 2019 “How odd. How bold – of you to assume that th’ void is both not a benevolent god, but that of a weapon of the righteous. I find you concerning if not entirely rent mad by your own failed delving into the ever-expanse. Your authority, being bound to the kith and kin of Sutica, shan’t speak on the subject of ‘rampant magic’ or ‘weaponized void’, for you are yet doing nothing for the sake and protection of it: is challenged. Said the archimandrite as it derives forth it’s essence onto Arcas in a flurry of power, truthfully, however, it was merely a message; for they, the order, to take how they liked. The notice as it were is simple in it’s make if not ornate and decadent in it’s writing. “You are not a paragon of truth and righteousness as is expected one of that watches over the ever-expanse. The Celestials are a people of power, obvious as it is, but left unchecked, are a danger to all in perpetuity in protection of the realms of Arcas and are thusly a threat to the concept of righteousness and the vows of a defender as one takes as a true Arcanist.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
