sam33497 2820 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2023 [!] Letters are dispersed throughout Hohkmat, with a few making their way to other major cities. [!] An artistic rendering of Lanre stares at the reader from the top of the page, seemingly serving no contextual purpose whatsoever. Perhaps an attempt to make the letter more personable? HELLO CITIZENS OF HOHKMAT. I hope you are all okay in the wake of the unfortunate events of earlier this eve. As any sane mali would, I take attempts on my life very seriously, and thus I would like to extend my thanks to the noble ranks of the Ferrymen, the kind Captain-General Gaspard of Veletz, my wonderful kin of Celia’nor and the mighty orcs of the Horde for coming to my aid in this act of retribution. With this battle settled, and proper retribution for the earlier attack upon me, the slaughter of my allies, and the severing of my arm accounted for, I would like to say this: all is forgiven. I am not a sympathizer of darkspawn, and you probably either know this or are ignoring the evidence in order to maintain your conviction. Either way, I do not care. Cease your accusations, and let us live in peace once more. I have no intention of war nor continued conflict with Hohkmat, nor do I intend to disrupt its relations with Petra, nor unduly unseat Fatebinder from his rightfully-wrought throne. I wish to further the pursuit of Voidal magic, and ensure that its people do not fall into the hands of the dark, and that is all. I have reflected upon my methods, and in the future I will keep the violence down to where it is manageable, or otherwise in controlled settings such as duels, so that mages near me need not live in fear. I would like to come and reclaim my seat and work with you all once more. I will not sit before a trial which treats me with guilt - but I will gladly assuage any doubts you have about my integrity and the truth behind the accusations you originally leveled. Let us all move on so that this need not ever happen again. By the way, on this very same eve, I forged a new spell. I would like my ‘Sage’ ranking. This sounds really cool, and I can already feel my wisdom increasing just thinking about it. Thanks. Lanre Cerusil 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laeonathan 4001 Share Posted November 26, 2023 "That's my student!" Raziel cheered, pointing at the staring picture. "I need to seek out more students again; there is nothing but a student you slowly see overshadowing you." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We created Veil Watching before Edvard the pitiful invented anything." The spiteful mage Sulieronn commented. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morigung-oog 2367 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Valindra Nullivari, the fallen Magister and devout of the canonist faith smiled the sun's smile, and worked on a letter to Fatebinder regarding her own Sage rank alongside that of Sulieronn Ashwood. "If he reclaims his seat, I am owed mine too." 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hom 563 Share Posted November 26, 2023 "Oh, all is forgiven, water under the bridge, let me be a bloody Sage-" Atticus Reinhold is gripping the missive so hard the paper crinkles, glaring at the smarmy image of Lanre's face. "You kidnapped my-" He crumples the missive up into a ball his hands, with uncharacteristic anger "He wasn't even there!" And with that he tosses the ball of paper into a wastebin, storming off.A few seconds later he circles back, and sets the wastebin on fire. It isn't as satisfying as one would hope. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeawithFrisket 2648 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Vivien maelstrom looks at the missive as she studies further… her bored hums echo. ”oooohhh so that’s what he looks like. If he brushed his hair he look less insane. But then again…” she touched her own unbrushed curls 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECS1999 957 Share Posted November 26, 2023 1 hour ago, MeteorDragon said: Edvard the pitiful And yet Edvard 'The Pitiful' sits on his sage throne, looking at Sulieronn from avobe in his way much more extense wisedom. "I don't blame you Sulieronn, a poor guy whose dreams of becoming a mage were overshadowed by not only the man who beat you in a duel while he allowed you to cast but also by a man whose path into the arcane started much later than yours. You are but a poor man whose only achievement in life is imbueing one's eyes with mana to make them look different while turning them crazy. I might be pitiful but the title that better fits you is Sulieronn 'The Failure' Ashwood." His lips curl up into a smile as The Sage, holds his staff tighter, not in anger but in joy. "That being said, i leave you to your job in Hohkmat running the academy, i am sure your students find you as lacking in that matter as i do. Me and my Hohkmat students send our best regards" 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_of_losers 957 Share Posted November 26, 2023 "Hmm." Pondered a blonde wizard by the name 'Sarah Artenin'. "Hmmm..." She thought a little more, all the while puffing on a very long pipe. So long, in fact, that it could be considered 'silly'. Impractical. "Tsk tsk tsk." She tuts her tongue as she reads, nodding once or twice at some of the missives contents. "Well. That entire ordeal is going straight into the Black Vault." And with that the Muscle Wizard closed her eyes, going to put the events of the raid into the deepest pit of her brain, sealed within the 'Black Vault' along with the rest of her unsavoury thoughts, feelings and recollections. She proceeded to get up with a stretch before extending the ludicrously lengthy pipe outside of her window to dump the bowl outside, barely even smoked. What a waste. "I would also like to be called a sage." Her last thought on the matter, for now. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuvas 2900 Share Posted November 26, 2023 "Lanre .." he remarks to a scribe walking with him "Has always been a pretentious elf. To request peace in the same breath that he makes war. To plot the downfall of society and the beg it's forgiveness." Sighs his hands behind his back as he walks down the palace corridors"It would have been better for him that he would admit his wrong doings and fade into obscurity like Valindra, and lash out privately at his world about him - letting tavern bar crawlers receive his sympathies alone" "These scales, however, are out of balance..." He says once more looking to the scribe "Gather the War Council, we will defend when we have been attacked. Lanre has managed to use his dark powers to puppet the people of Veletz, and I am told the Army of Veletz strike across Aaunic lands in this attack, our strategy will need to be..." The Grand Magister affirmed with great and powerful wisdom, dictating the next steps. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greygre 199 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A young Oblazeki Gnome would go about cleaning up the wreckage left after the attack. "Ow!" He'd cry, picking out a thorn which had lodged itself in his thumb. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds really cool, and I can already feel my wisdom increasing just thinking about it. The Lord-Magister of Paradox, Haus, struggles to make sense of the closing statement as he recovers from the cognitive dissonance of seeing a artist's rendition of Lanre, who does not look like a old elf as he had imagined. He resolves to inquiring further on it another time, jolting down the concept hastily on parchment before he returns to his never-ending work. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
