THE IMMACULATE BLADE

[Karim 250]

 

 

 

“It is not a sword, no. It is a title. A title which bears in itself the most terrible of all responsibility. 

A reminder, a reminder of our ultimate limitations. . . A reminder which can deny even the 

fires to burn, cleaving the flame from its source.” 

 

 

Akin to the spiraling towers of the Nephilim’s citadel, the order within is raised stone by stone, each serving its place. Each soul a mason in turn, hewing from their own knowing to set another block upon the bastion that time and countless gaunt hands have wrought. A spire needs all manner of bricks, as an assembly needs all manner of folk. And so it is that these labors are ever extracted and compiled by many a votary, each building upon the words of those who walked before him. What one man does not know, another recalls; what one hand cannot fashion, another may set in its stead. Thus is the work unbroken. Thus the congregation endures.

 

However, there are heights beyond the stones of towers. Thoughts that soar over the pleasantness of the assembled. That fly over the courtesies and niceties of mannered company. Night is of life as day is. Shadows, in kind, serve their own ends. The hammer that forges can also shatter. So too is there a place for one set apart, charged with a burden as grievous as it is needful. For what good is the tower, if rot is left to spread within its stones? That which flaunts the laws of Flame may never be left to fester. Should a dragonkin turn against their essence, there need be a hand to strike them down, else all that is built shall founder.

So comes to be this charter. Writ by the Regent of Tor’Praeth, Maekar. Sealed by the Prophet and Prince among the Nephilim, the blest An-Gho, together with the Elder of Mul’naar, Ysivyrn. The advent of this decree aims to serve as the establishment of a new office. A position which shall come to exist outside the purview of the hallowed orders of the Azdrazi and their creeds. A standard whose purpose shall be to administer and regulate all those who share in the ember soul while exercising justice to the highest degree. 

 

At the head of the office, bearing the esteemed title of  'Tʜᴇ Iᴍᴍᴀᴄᴜʟᴀᴛᴇ Bʟᴀᴅᴇ', shall be the Nephilim A ʀ ' ʏ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ (@Java17), whose name is henceforth bound to this charge. Let her hands not be sworn to the whim of any single council, but devoted to the greater good of the draconic race entire so long as this vigil stands. Hers shall be the commandment: that no fire lie blackened with the bile of corruption, that no kin be left to languish in shadow. And any who spit upon the sacred order of the Nephilim’s hierarchy, the structures decreed by the Third Eye and the likewise Elders, shall be struck down and cast aside before their rot can spread.

 

Should one amongst the dragonkin be cast out of their order by its judgment and verdict, they shall be delivered unto this office. There, a company of the capable will be chosen to see the Office’s sentence carried through. Should a Nephilim without an order betray the very fires of their beating heart, they may be brought before the Office itself, which shall serve as judge, jury, and executioner.

 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED

 

The Nephilim Prince, The An-Gho,

The Elder of Mul’naar, Ysivryn,

A bell is rung within the temple of Redmont. Cast in draanfire, it rings brilliant. "There are no words to those who fall to the flame most fell."
