SYNOD | Marching Orders

[Xergarok 811]

This is an internal Sixth Synod document written in Al'tarhn-Durngo.

Opening Lament

"Let it never be said that the Synod does not understand the principles of the eternal climb. There is wisdom in might making right, ends justifying means, and the weak who are meat while the strong do eat. So too can Xion endorse these principles, but unlike the beasts we seek to destroy we shall not let these principles define us. Instead, we merely employ these ideas. We strive towards a higher goal than this. By staying in control of ourselves we remain masters of our own fate." 

 

Stone Ascension

In honor of past and future strife, the opportunity will be afforded for a singular Eidolon to ascend from Knighthood to Lordship. Let it be known that from this day forward, the Sixth Synod will endorse a healthy competition between Eidola. Any Eidolon wishing to take their chances must follow a clear set of rules and understand a set of principles. Lordship is a position of power, but also responsibilities. A Lord of the Pale is expected to lead our Brothers and Sisters to war, like a Barrowlord is expected to lead the Synod as a whole. The Synod will not create a Lord who will slumber the moment they ascend. Let it be known that, in accordance with nonsectorial laws xi and xiii as upheld by all Denominations of Xion under Primeval Law, this competition may never go at the cost of the internal cohesion of the Synod. Competition will only be expressed through the display of ones capacities and competencies. No serpentine deeds but merit will earn one the privilege of ascending. Let this be both a motivation and a stark warning. 

 

The War of the North

Recent developments have strengthened our hand. In due time this news will be shared internally. I implore all inhabitants of Lumbridge, all members of the Sixth Synod, all members of the Pale Legion, and all Xionists to prepare for war if you have not already. Our essential Menhirs have been secured, though our inner sanctum has been breached numerous times and some Menhirs have naturally been destroyed. Should any Eidolon be without a Menhir they should immediately contact a Shepherd to create one anew. Let any who would aid in the fortifications of the Seat of Xion contact their Barrowlord. Any Alchemists are stimulated to begin the production of weaponry, either in their own workshops or one provided by the Synod. Any Occultists are encouraged to invade the Ebrietaes and bolster our ranks with the souls of the damned. For any needs, reach out. Let none use ignorance as an excuse, for these will be the years that will determine the future of the Sixth Synod. Let terror and war tell the truth of it.

 

So mote it be.
