Helvetius 314 Share Posted November 27, 2012 A man, hooded and cloaked, walks out into the middle of Arethor by the fountain. With great emotion in his voice, he cries out many words. People of the Oren Empire, have thee not thought strangely or ill of the religion here among the people? The religion in which if you dare speak ill of it, you will have your head chopped off? They speak in which only violence for the Oren Empire be good, but for any other it be damning you to the nether! Be that naught unfair? Be that naught one sided and hypocritical? They say that the Creator is kind and generous to those who are good. Then why did he, the oh so generous one, create the terrible Iblees? Even as a test, it whipped the many good people from life when Iblees lived! A test you say? Be damned to his test then! His test was naught but a great suffering across the lands! The Creator is kind and generous to those who are good? Then all nobles and knights who have slain for money, greed, corruption, which be many, will rot in the nether! That includes those such as Queen Kyral, Prince Lancel, and Godfrey himself! The creator's religion is supposed to be to help and be kind. Nay be it to slaughter those who speak truth or pay their grubby taxes or those who question why the creator did what he did! Question the ways of the Creator! Question the ways of in which all of these corrupt people who sit upon their thrones use it! To use it as a way to keep everyone in line and nay question their evil ways I say! Be free and have free thought! Don't be consumed by their lies! This cloaked man stops his emotional speech immediately when guards begin to run in towards the square. He runs off into the streets in hopes of escape now. The only identity of him were the pointy ears of an elf and white shoes... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkelos 1027 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Kyral listens to the man from a distance, before raising an eyebrow when he mentions taxes. She grumbles and says to the cloaked man. "Since when do my citizens pay taxes? We removed the taxes for a long period of time, and even then it was used to bring more people in, rather to fill the Hightower coffers, which we still use for the city. You also hide behind a veil of lies, what brave man peaks his mind, yet has no audacity to show his face? You also say I have slain for money greed and corruption, yet war is a last resort for me when all diplomatic channels are taken and have failed. You honestly have no idea about me, so I ask of you not to speak of me as a warmonger. As for your claims to having ones head chopped off for speaking ill of The Creator, one would consider it best not to offend ones way of life, should it be based around our Creator. Iblees is gone, his reach will never be felt again because we the people defiantly stepped up and sealed him into our lost home of Aegis, we already damned the creators test, and those we lost along the way will not be forgotten. Today the creator shines his rays of approval, his growth of success, and blesses all who walks in the light. Right now you are treading a fine path to the shadows, so I ask you. Take off your cloak, and speak your piece again, and tell me if you feel more whole." Kyral motions the guards and any offended citizenry away from the man before motioning him to repeat what he said again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldd 126 Share Posted November 27, 2012 *Elizabeth Silverblade's eyes widen at the hooded man. Then suddenly a silver fury bursts through them as she begins to speak in a loud and commanding tone.* "How dare you speak against the Creator when you don't know the full story!? They great Creator did not corrupt Iblees from what I've read! I will also have you know, Queen Kyral is one of the greatest leaders in our history! Emporer Godfrey is what united Oren, and saved us from many wars between Salvus, Renatus, Hanseti, and Seventis! You are a disgraceful for speaking such a way." *Elizabeth immediately begins to write a letter after her little rant. Her silver eyes blaze with fury, as she writes a letter, the quill quickly going across the parchment. Her beauty goes very well with her anger.* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elindor 666 Share Posted November 27, 2012 A wizard approaches the man preaching against Oren. "Speak soft of that which you do not know, child. There be great mysteries of Aenguls and Daemons, and none of which has right to be revealed to mortal ears." He leans closer to speak softly. Speak ill of your country. Speak ill of your king. Speak ill of the religious politics. But do NOT speak ill of the God of whom you know nothing and against whom you are a blade of flax in a fire."

Redbaron™ 690 Share Posted November 27, 2012 *Looks at Kyral with confusion* Muttering to himself lightly "That's not at all what we did... we gave free homes and kept the taxes around..." Sighs at Kyrals lack of knowledge of her in city and walks off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaun 102 Share Posted November 27, 2012 *Kaun looks at the hooded man and sighs then speaks* "It seems much has been lost over the long years of time. So be it that I will allow your ignorance to stay among the people, but hear this foolish young one may Alzeptor have mercy on your soul when you go through the age of time and its following end. Alzeptor to him you must pray fool." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Boiendl 1454 Share Posted November 27, 2012 High Pontiff Adeodatus the First hobbles into the main square and sighs at the shouting man. He shakes his head in sadness and begins to speak "My good sir, what you say is false. The Creator hath gifted the church with enough food to feed the Empire and that we do. Quite often the clergy can be seen giving out food to the poor. Also, the Creator gives people choice and freewill thus you may see deeds that seem a bit strange and sinful. Would you rather live in a world created by the Blessed Creator in which you have no choice, or one in which you have choice? " Hobbles off back towards the church Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvetius 314 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 The man chuckles as he runs away from the raging crowd. His eyes glinting nastily as he accomplished his goal. Turning the corner into a tavern, he sneaks upstairs to strip out of the cloak and hood. A nasty smile lays on his face as he turns to head downstairs. He soon turns it back to his normal, bland look as he heads out as Haldamir once more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuyose 3285 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Adorellan watched the scene unfold, tilting his head as the group begin to speak among themselves, but as the man began to walk inside the tavern, Adorellan followed. He had recived the news from his dear love, Elizabeth, and so, he would attempt to strike the man down, he placed his hand to the hilt of his sword, following the man inside the tavern, but not up the stairs, as the man came down, Adorellan slowly raised his head, stepping out in front of him before he left. "Do you think we can be fooled so easy?" He had taken note of the height and weight, and also the voice of the man before hand, but he hopes he didn't get the person wrong. "T'was it thee who spoke ill of the Creator?" He tilts his head once more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvetius 314 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Surprised that someone actually managed to follow him through the winding streets, he looks confused at the man. Uh.... What are you talking about? I think you have the wrong person... However I did see someone cloaked 'ead upstairs lookin' nervous... Haldamir attempts to walk past now in an attempt to leave. Trying to keep his face shocked and confused by the accusation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaSolaray 242 Share Posted November 28, 2012 "Funny, for someone who is coming from the direction of the mysteroious person, you seem to know he was robed, and nervous looking...Quite well informed..." A voice spoke from the shadows of the tavern, as a figure seemed to be hiding behind midnight-black bangs, his voice cold and mysterious as he notes a /friend/ of sorts, or rather the man he had assisted once before. HOnorable, I would not cross... He humoured the thought in his head for a moment more before readdressing, "You seem intent to leave, enough interest to remember a hooded figure looking nervous, but not enough to stay and watch what unfolds...rather, there was few to go up, but you are the only one to come down."

Tsuyose 3285 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Adorellan was no fool, he reached out to grab the man by the collar, frowning behind the bandanna. His grip was tight, and he leant in to whisper to the man. "I don' care if ye' speak ill of the creator.. But speak ill of the beloved Emperor and I'll slaughter you." He chuckles slightly as he hoped to intimidate the man, he released him, pushing him slightly and looked towards the shadows with a raised brow.. But then he decides to walk away, he had to plan his marriage with Elizabeth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elindor 666 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Elindor laughs "The emperor is ash in the wind against the meekest of aenguls. But I shan't expect any of the dirt upon Arethor's pavement to understand that." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvetius 314 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Haldamir looks around the tavern confused, unable to pin where the voice is coming from but speaks in a fairly annoyed voice. Are you saying it wasn't possible to look at a man comin' up the stairs? Nor was it possible to see 'im constantly looking over his shoulders and fidgeting his hands before passin' by? Then by all means, I guess it I am lyin' if I can see that not but a few moments ago. As Haldamir finishes speaking, he is forced to his tip-toes as Adorellan pulls him by the collar. A shocked look crosses his face from mainly the sudden action of Adorellan before being let go. Watching him leave, he mutters under his breath before leaving after him. Nether...Can't even look at someone without being accused by people now... Clearing his throat, he looks around one more time for the source of that voice. Still unable to find it, he heads towards the tavern door to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
