The (Who'scountinganymore)Th Spirit Council

[Lexperiments 18]

Lex'Lur paces within Krugmar, deep in thought. He's realized a lot in a short period of time and needs to figure out what the Shamans need to do. He believes them to be discordant lately, and he knows not of a place for them to meet. He simply summons them to the oasis in the middle of the city, sending out his darkness spirit messangers to tell them. When the majority of them had arrived, he would begin:

"We 'ave been separated for too long. As da races, including the Uruks, have grown technologically, mentally, and border-wise, more mages have come into Asulon, races have fallen into da shadows and brought to da light, da Shamans have remained idle. It be time for us to help.

First of all, we need to learn from each other. Blawharag knows most everything dere is about the Major Spirits and Ancestors. Mogroka knows about the Spirit World and da elementals of things like emotions, disease, war, etcetera. Nel'thok, while absent, is probably da master of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. I'd like to think m'self to be a master on da spirits of dings like Time, Space, Life, Death, and Darkness. We all have sumtin to offer, an' we need ta collaborate.

More importantly is da relationships with Asulon and da races. Personally, I believe dat-- maybe, jus' maybe-- we could help.. expand Shamanism. We are a force dat, while rooted deep with da Uruks and shall always be part of dem, I believe dat da Shamans cannot be fully part of any race. We need to help da balances of da world. We must force, but not force any one race instead of another. I personally like no true affiliation with a race. I have only affiliation with the wonders of Life and civilization, the flow of Time and its effects, and the Spirits in general. I would like ta hear all of latz's opinions on this.

Latz might want to klomp me for this statement; I can guarantee not a skahin' ding. Banish or klomp if latz wish. I simply have brought to attention what I find to be da future of the Shamans. Da spirits have shown me the way to greatness. I see da Path. Da true Path to figuring out Life. I'm already on my way. Everywhere I follow it, it brings me to where I need to go! So I followed it to dis oasis. And I knew what I had to do. I had to tell latz all about da future of Time. I know dat we need to seperate to get to our full potential, to help the world to get into full Balance, and to force all da right things onto the world.

Please, do dink about this, fellow Shamans. I see the Path. Follow me and help the Shamans prosper."

Eurhurhur, Lex. Hab lat furgutten? We ur da' Spiritual Leadah uv da' Uruk, nub Shara, Gazat, ur Albai. Dey nub'n Uruk, spirutz wha' made bai Krug agh dey ar fo' uz.

[Blawharag 277]

<Blawharag arrives as Lex is starting his speach, he waits patiently until he finishes and then follows up after Brevias speaks. He speaks in the Blah ((though for sake of clarity I will type in english because I am typing a lot))>

Brevias is correct. The Spirits will not heed the call of the other races, for they do not revere the spirits as we do. Even you are a mighty exception Lex. Even if the Elves attempted to commune with their ancestors, the ancestors would not whisper back for the elves have not paid them the correct observances. The Immortal Spirits will not heed the call of the Humans, who do not even realize how closely their lives are tied to such things. Only the Orcs of the Warnation live close enough to the spirits to be able to practice shamanism, and even then not all of us. With very few exceptions, Shamanism cannot be spread outside our own race. You being one of those few exceptions.

That being said, that doesn't mean we do not have certain tasks which fall upon us. For example, Hanseti Leadership has fallen and two now struggle for power over the realm. In this, Gaius Marius must speak to his people and lend them his wisdom. I intend to see this ancestor, and old friend, brought forward that he may give it. Mogroka has already agreed to accompany and I would be very honored if any others would come, for granting an ancestor and open voice in our realm is not an easy task and we will need all the help that can be mustered. The Hanseti have been faithful allies in our past, and though at the moment they have yet to renew their blood pact with us (for they do not possess an undisputed leader to do so) I at least still owe Gaius the right to speak to his people in what may be the most difficult and trying time they will face.

There is much else that should be seen to as well. Spirits all around Asulon are restless. I sense restlessness in Enrohk, our own ancestors whisper of the Orcs softening and I cannot hear well the Elements, but I imagine they too are restless with the rise of Siege Weaponry that tears down the world around it. This Elder Council is too few in number to handle all of this, but I believe our apprentices, those who have left the novice stage of learning and understand the most basic aspects of Shamanism, can accompany us as we set out to repair whatever damage we can find being done to the Spirits. In this manner, when they achieve the rank of Journeyman, they can be sent out and permitted to wander on their own. They will understand what must be done and will be experienced enough to aid us. This way the Elder Council can focus on the most dire of situations.

I still have much work to do as Warbozz of the Kheshig, but those duties are not so encumbering that I cannot also act as the Elder Battleshaman that I am. After Gaius has had his audience, I intend to begin making regular pilgrimages. I will travel to a location I sense a disturbance in, handle the disturbance and return. I believe if we all do this, we can keep the order that is so precious to the spirits as well as strengthen our own ties with them. If nothing else, it will serve to keep the rust off me until we see some worthy war that I can swing my blade in...

Lex'Lur looks at Blawharag, nodding in agreement, but his face is in the slightest grimace for a moment. He then makes his face expressionless, and begins to speak again:

"Ah. Latz make good points, brudda. I agree wit what latz have to say. I gruk dat da races can nub, nub yet, understand the spirits. That is why I wish to teach dem of da spirits. I am one of dose "exceptions", as latz say. . . I understand da spirits as much as lat do. I wish to spread da knowledge of the spiritz, as I already have been doing. None have been successful, yet.. but I will keep trying. Anyways-- I understand what latz have to say, and agree.

But, also, az I was saying-- We need ta share our knowledge of da spirits. If ash of us dies, den da rest will not gruk what dey gruk. I do not dink we should write down or record, for books can be easily stolen, but what we can do is teach each other for further generations.

Do latz agree?"
