King_Kunuk 888 Share Posted October 10, 2021 "In times of darkness, let the paths of knowledge give us light" The Ivory Tower Seekers of Truth Founded at a time when sorcery, magic, and scholars without direction seemed at a low in the Silver State, the Ivory Tower, founded on the eve of 45th year of the Second Age came about to be the guiding light needed for the High Elven people on their eternal pursuit of strength through wisdom. Created with great ideals to continue the push and acting as an independent organization, the Tower shall stand as a monument for the coming future, being the gilding light which shall lead on to new pathways into magic that have yet to be reached. Creed of Ivory Stone In order to properly guide those that gain membership of the Tower, a set of core beliefs have been divined from months of study and debate. Decreed to be the best leading principles the Tower shall try to embody, they are the following: 1. The Void is not a God. It is a tool to be used as a sorcerer sees fit. It is a method of study as a sorcerer sees fit. The Void is not alive- it has no emotion nor thought. 2. The Circle seeks to gain and guard knowledge. Knowledge is sacred, work hard to gain it. Knowledge should not be shared to those unworthy of it. Knowledge of all kind is equal, though one must understand dangerous knowledge against safe knowledge. 3. Consigning one’s soul to entities beyond and within is considered the ultimate sin. Your soul is sacred, and worth far more than the sweet succor of forbidden knowledge. Consigning another one's soul to such entities is also considered a vile path to walk. 4. Bargaining with entities beyond is shunned, and should be avoided at all costs. Kneeling before those of the Other World for knowledge is a price worse then death Guild Ranks Unlike guilds of old, there are no defined ranks for the Ivory Tower. Instead, leadership is held by a collective grouping of all of it's members (which is not simply limited to High Elves). That as well, membership to the Ivory Tower is not consigning simply to those who partake in the Voidal Arts. All those who walk the paths seeking truth are considered members to be had within the tower walls, and are welcomed to stand amount it's ranks as fellows in arms. Though consulship is gained upon membership, there are 3 distinct ranks within the Tower which are as followed:Acolyte of Ivory- A new member of the Ivory Tower; they have joined the ranks and are free to enter and go as they please. However they lack a voice within the tower, and are not privy to voice opinion or concerns within the Inner Circle until they are elevated into the position by at least 2 of the Circle's standing members who must both approve of such rank once the Acolyte has proven themselves in their eyes via trails, tests, and other assortments deemed worthy.Scholar of Ivory- A member of the Tower's Inner Circle and seated on it's council, a Scholar of Ivory is considered an equal among many, and is able to vote on polices and other such agreements which are taken by the Tower as a whole. They may suggest as well policies and doctrine to act upon. Simply put, they are a fully fledged member of the Guild.The Ivory Wizard- Still equal and holding the same authority as all other members of the Inner Circle, the rank of Ivory Wizard is used to give the Tower a single, collective voice when sending a representative to the Silver Council of Haelun'or, or conducting official business elsewhere. They are the figurehead of the guild, and serve at the behest of all other members of the Inner Circle. The Ivory Wizard may also find their position as figurehead revoked if the Inner Circle finds them wanting, with a vote of non confidence being held which requires at least 2/3 of the serving Circle to agree on, removing the rank before an election is had for a new Ivory Wizard.

Zonty 457 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Elf would blink a few times upon seeing the poster and slowly rubbed his nape "Haelun'or might return to magical glory it seems." Orinmon lets out with a chuckle. His face blurred in a soft smile and he tilted his head backwards, simply peering into the beautiful sky. Though it was cloudy, he quite enjoyed such weather. Elf stood in that posture for a few minutes and then headed off, in his normal position. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
