Razad , leader of Mages, could not help but feel vindicated at this long known understanding "Though it is regrettable she has any association as a mage, her reputation continues to bring harm to all mages by these associations....."

A certain Mage far away, would not be surprised by such accusations. He remarks simply "The truth always comes forth..."

Minuvas wonders if this was a famous Dame Viktoriya marriage ad... @TreeSmoothie Conversely, Razad had never met this mage...and sighed at the idea of mages being afraid in public.

Sorry. Boomer moment. In the second post it states 'The organizer has received a 2 month ban from the Moderation Team' which is worded differently than the two previous individuals who are stated to have just 'received a ban'. And I realize this is meant to be read as the mod team issued a ban to this individual for two months, not that they were banned from being on the mod team.

The ban of an owner seems lenient. A two month moderator ban for the owner of a discord that was engaging in this supposed behavior on its surface seems like a slap on the wrist.

Razad could only recall Elena as a zealot, whom started as a friend but soon was consumed by paranoia - leaping at shadows and striking at rumor to her own detriment. Her banishment was unfortunate, her death even more so should he ever learn of it. He would ponder how much better her fortunes might have been would she had chosen to work with the old magi....instead of walking the path of a fanatic. He gave it the briefest of thought, then he supposed it was ultimately better this way for everyone.

'Allow me to state this as a living eye witness, for I was there at the time of the young Emperor Philip III wedding to Anastasia, served as his Archchancellor at his side following deposition of his grand father, and later as an Imperial Prince when him and the Empress died - and shortly thereafter the subsequent collapse of the 8th Empire. The matter of Peters disinheritance might rest on the argument on whether one might believe Anastasia was vested with the full authority of the Emperor as co-regnant. The scholars of my time were split, many believing Empress Anastasia's authority came only from her living husband while others believing her authority was valid and independent of Emperor Philip III. I am of the latter camp; believing Empress Anastasia to be a rightful inheritor to the throne of man, if even only briefly - and her decrees did carry the full weight of law for the time of her brief and sickly reign. However, I will state for the record this matter is moot. My family has served as confidant to the Imperial family since the time of Johannesburg, and I can say with confidence that Frederick was never intended to rule. The decree, a fabrication of Fredericks supporters - and he did surround himself with sycophants. Peter IV, and his line are the legal inheritors to the Imperial throne, and the legal mechanisms for this succession remain unviolated. Peter IV suffered from a bout of poor general ship, and Frederick an over abundance in skullduggery - but this should not detract from Emperor Peter IIIs rightful, if very brief, reign. The last Emperor of his time. ' Minuvas Melphestaus

"Excellent.." Remarks Razad, tinkering on a creating a gift for his new found friends in Vikela

In the event that the aggressor against either state is a nation or territory, and that same nation or territory is mutually agreed to currently being led by a Rogue Magi or allies to the same - this clause remains in effect.

This functions the same in the case of a Hohkmat criminal committing a crime within Lurin, they’ll be trialed in the Lurinite Court and overseen by Hohkmat officials. In cases of dual-citizenship, the nation in which the crime is committed shall hold the trial. II. These individuals may still be detained for the purpose of safety, and deadly force used to defend citizens or property. III. The outcome of such judgments shall be respected by Lurin and Hohkmat and no party shall seek to pursue further action against said individuals related to these accusations unless new crimes are committed. The signatories agree to respect the other’s nation law and not interfere in the judicial procedures of the other. IV. Judgments made against citizens by foreign courts, not party to this agreement, shall have no bearing on this arrangement. V. Nobles of the Mageocracy in Hohkmat who are members of the Chamber of Lord Magisters shall never be tried within the Most Serene State. The Courts of Hohkmat shall try them and return to the wronged party with a suitable verdict.

ARTICLE VIII: Duration & Termination I. This pact shall remain in effect unless otherwise canceled by either the Silver Lubba or the Grand Magister. II.

RIP booklight. Good mage.

The Saneyir overlooked the writing of his old friend "Our Father awaits our unity"

THE CHANGE OF THE AGE [INTERNAL DOCUMENT - DISSEMINATE TO ALL MASTERS & VIZIERS] The time of my reign has been marked by contest and by struggle, by the clash of mage on mage for dominance of ideas and position. For nearly half a century, all of you have joined me in the fight to preserve the magic city and its beliefs: our pursuit of magic. This was a bloody time, a challenging time, but a necessary time. From our ranks rose great leaders and talented magi and those who would see us turned to ash - were cast out. This unification of the magical world under Hohkmat came at great cost - but this age, which we shall mark as the AGE OF STRUGGLE shall , upon the conclusion of the Kaggath between the Houses of Paradox and Silveira, come to an end. The time of Kaggath between Magi shall become a memory, our right to exist - is now undeniable. We shall soon enter THE AGE OF CHANGE. This is a transitory time period. This age shall be marked by the radical re-orientation of the magi of Hohkmat and its government, preparing us for the age that is to follow - THE AGE OF CREATION. This is a future that will be marked by scholarship, artificery, political neutrality, and a mastery of the void. ENTER THE AGE OF CHANGE In this AGE OF CHANGE, I direct all agencies of the Mageocracy to undertake the following preparations - which shall come into effect within two scholars weeks. Chamber of Stars & The Lord-Magisters. I. The Principle structure of the Lord Magisters shall remain unchanged, recognized as the most noble and talented of our people. However the KAGGATH shall no longer be a means in which to seize power, with the Grand Magister and the Chamber of Lord-Magisters now managing these appointments internally. The duties of trial and justice, appointment of titles such as sage and mastery, shall now be managed by the Lord-Magisters ; previously reserved for the Chamber of Masters and Sages. II. The structure of government administration shall remain largely unchanged, under the Viziers of each Chamber. The function of a city-state's government shall exist primarily to execute necessary functions that occur outside of the realm of the academy but are required for the management of a city-state, such as taxes, maintenance, defense, security, trade and diplomacy. Chamber of Water. Shall make its primary mission the removal and protection of the state from Apostate Magic. Even in our magic city, we cannot be blind to the temptations of power - and the Chamber of Water shall remain our safeguard against temptation. Their work shall be essential in protecting that nation from its most dangerous threat - itself. Chamber of Fire. I. To believe the Magi will ever truly be left unmolested is a foolish thought. The Chamber of Fire shall remain the principle defender of the law and the nation. As the rest of the nation focuses on scholarship and creation, we must maintain a standing cadre of no less than ten officers of evocation magic within the Chamber of Fire. II. The Chamber is to negotiate the services of a company of footmen or Soldiers to aid in the protection of the vastness of the new planned cityscape. Chamber of Wind. I. Diplomacy: Henceforth directed to review any and all current political arrangements. We are to begin to orient our political allegiances to neutrality with all. In particular, we shall pursue more benevolent relationships with magic-aligned nations, which includes Lurin, Haelunor, Celianor related strictly to arrangements in voidal studies and exchanges. We shall pursue diplomatic interests that ensure our safe existence within our new realm. We shall initiate the political process of change to our political status with Petra to one of political independence and sovereignty in accordance with current signed treaties. II. Trade: The AGE OF CREATION shall be marked by Hohkmats investments in science, understanding, knowledge and magic. These will be the tools of our profit. The Chamber shall arrange trade agreements that generate revenue of our inventions and discoveries; and trade them generously with those who wish to partake of our knowledge. Chamber of Earth. I. Prepare the national treasury for our relocation with a total sum of 15,000 MINAS within two scholar’s months. II. Begin architectural design, construction, and mining in preparation. Aevos largest site of Arcaurum has been discovered by the Chamber of Fire and the Chamber of Wind for our future construction and we shall be generous in its application. III. The Chamber is to acquire, or create, no less than two magical artifacts over the course of the next two scholar’s months. Academy of the Sorcerous Path. In the AGE OF STRUGGLE, the palatial ziggurat - the Palace of authority, served as the throne that looks upon all magi for obedience. This shall no longer be the principle heart of Hohkmat. The apex of society in the AGE OF CREATION shall be its academy. The Academy shall shadow over any such facility ever seen in our time, with grand halls for study, research, and the free trade of magic. Our libraries shall come to dwarf those of any realm, great artificery forges shall ring with the creations of magic. And so in the AGE OF CHANGE the Academy is to take the following actions. I. The Heir of Hohkmat shall now, as their principal title, take on the role of Headmaster of the Academy. a. The Headmaster of the Academy shall begin the search for a ‘Master’ to fulfill the role of each school of magic. b. The Headmaster is to recommend a naming convention and organization of the academy initial staff. The Grand Magister shall be fully briefed on the design of this organization and its staff within the next three scholar’s weeks. II. The position of Head Librarian shall be absorbed under the Academy, reporting directly to its Headmaster.They shall compile and prepare as many books and research to fill the libraries of our future city, our goal shall be no less than 200 books as an initial start within one scholar’s month. @greygre III. The Academy is to undergo the spread of Artificery and Transfiguration within Hohkmat. Hohkmat shall have NO LESS than 5 Artificers and Transfigurations within two scholar’s months. COUNCIL of MASTERS and SAGES. Is to be disbanded. Its duties are to be returned to the Chamber of Lord-Magisters. Other notable efforts; Law. I. The three mysteries shall remain the guiding philosophy of Hakad law. II. Magical True-Lineage shall remain the succession system of the great houses. III. The Kaggath shall no longer be utilized to resolve internal matters to the state. Henceforth, Kaggath shall be an emergency measure activated in defense of the state against external threats. Culture. I. Appropriate cultural dress of the Hakad shall be prescribed for all those in positions of authority when conducting formal business; this is to enable Magi to be unencumbered while casting in the hot climes of the south. II. A renewed emphasis shall be placed on welcoming Bardmancers and Housemages into the definition of 'Mage', where they may form guilds and perform studies with the rights of voidal mages. SO BOUND GRAND-MAGISTER, Sorcerer-King, Hierophant of the Mysteries, Master of the Ziggurat of Hohkmat

The Grand Magister would pen a small note to the leader of Canondom, "May your pontificate be just and enduring, congratulations on your ascension. Razad of Hohkmat" And so it would be sent.

VIZIERAL AND OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS Proclaimed in an era of Calming Winds of Magic CHAMBER OF FIRE Vizier Ayche has requested retirement from his position of leadership, to serve as an advisor and Soldier in the Chamber of Fire and I have accepted this warrior-Magis request. Let it be noted in our great magisterial records; AYCHE of the Great Magi House TEMPEST has served as a leal and loyal agent of the void during a nearly thirty year period of service within the Chamber of Fire as its Vizier, Eldritch of our War forces in the coalition war, and perhaps of greatest consequence - as the Hero of the BATTLE OF PARADOX did Ayche fight at my side against the attempted COUP of LANRE CERUSIL. After the discovery Cerusils use of necromantic artifact and in spite of the aide of Draconic allies, AYCHE and the Chamber of Fire did drive this from our city - resulting in an era of unbridled growth of the City States. For this reason we shall allow the Vizier to retain the ceremonial stylizing of ELDRITCH, an otherwise wartime only rank, in retirement, in honor of his accomplishments and honor him with the rank of MASTER. HOUSE TEMPEST Let it be noted in our great magisterial records; FAERYEL of the Ruling House of FAHRAZAD is to be elevated to that of Vizier of Fire. May she inspire our warrior-magi of Hohkmat for a new era and strike fear in our enemies. THAYMARK APOSTACY Let it be noted in our great magisterial records; Our specialized force designated to combat and defeat the apostate magi and their dark agents shall undergo a change in leadership. Henceforth YERA of Magister House SYLVEIRA and HAUS of Magister House PARADOX are henceforth relieved from their joint-duties of Thaymark Leadership that they might focus on their upcoming KAGGATH. My apprentice, the Grand-Apprentice, FAERYEL of Ruling House FAHRAZAD shall be appointed as the new leader of the Thaymark and shall strike with resolve against the Necromancer, the Demon, and agents of Apostacy. ON RELATIONS TO THE CHURCH OF CANON AND ACCUSATIONS OF DARK APOSTACY Hohkmat is no stranger to accusations of dark magic within our walls, as the fears of Ando Alur still remain fresh in the minds of a great many historians. We pride ourselves in the fact that no allegations have ever been found to be true in our city. We believe this good natured behavior has contributed to the Pontiff of the Church of Canon in his enlightened sanctioning of our magics among the human realms. Our leaders, myself included, are tested to ensure no taint. We have not attacked the High Pontiff, unlike some who would try to besmirch our name. We have killed more Dark Spawn than most nations can take credit for. We have slayed the anathema when the Canonist realms have asked us to. Yet our good name is often carried on the wind by fearful and jealous individuals, whose agenda is as naked as a newborn babe. We would not see those who lash tongues to triumph over our good works, and thus I decree the following. It is diktat. We shall establish a permanent diplomatic office to the Holy See of the Canonist Church. We shall select a representative to ensure communication with the Holy See, and while it is unlikely there will be agreement on a host of issues - our ambassador shall strive to keep these issues within the threshold below that of conflict. It is diktat. That the Paladins of Xan shall henceforth be welcome in Hohkmat, as they have never been denied, though in keeping with the laws of the Canonist nations in which we reside- shall be restricted in the use of their magics while in our territory. They are however offered an additional caveat: extrajudicial attempts at execution of our citizens on suspicion shall be met with fierce hostility. SO BOUND GRAND-MAGISTER, Sorcerer-King, Hierophant of the Mysteries, Master of the Ziggurat of Hohkmat

Good luck Josh

-1 This is the only mobility ability skillset for a player archetype that requires space and mobility to employ it's skills with limited or no ability to counter close combat other than being a scion. Every other mainline magic has the ability to be disconnected and still fight, not voidal. Without distance, and the ability for limited mobility generation, you're seriously crippling a mage. The nerfs ro distance don't allow escape from an encounter, arguably it's primary function. Mounted goon will run you down in 3 turns.

The Grand Magister was pleased to hear of the success of his fellow desert dwellers, for in the desert - there is always struggle.

*A note is penned to his southern friend* Rex of Krug, While I will not interfere in the private wishes of both my Chieftains, if this is the means by which they want to pursue their Kaggath - nor will I deny your right to privately judge individuals as the Rexdom sees fit to do so. But I am their MageRex, and this matter is internal to we Magi, and I have heard the cause of both these individuals and judge their conflict to be resolved by a trial by KAGGATH (An Honor Klomp). This is the way we agree to resolve our disputes, and the method to which all Magisters are bound to obey. I am culturally, and as their leader, obligated to resolve disputes between my Chieftains in our traditions. They should not dishonor themselves by attending such a trial. That the Chieftain of Kaethul has appealed gives me concern that she feels her cause is weak and she fears she cannot resolve it by KAGGATH, but that is a matter for her to gain strength. No punishment from the Rexdom of two of the most senior members of my Clan can be held as valid in our eyes without my consent. Such an illegal trial would be an ill begotten way to earn my disfavor for otherwise worthy relationship. I am encouraged that we might speak more on this topic. However if we do not, I will be instructing my Chieftains to forego their attendance. -Razad the Magerex" @Narthok ----- Separate letters are sent to Yera and Haus @Ewdrawings @PrimnyaQuorum "Neither of you will be attending a trial held by the Rexdom. Seek your victory in struggle and battle, as you knew was the way when you accepted your throne. The KAGGATH is your judge, the KAGGATH is your liberation. Do not try to escape your responsibility. If you believe I will allow two of my most senior magi have a foreign power impose their will on them you are more mad than I already thought you both to be. You may both think me old and soft, and I have not personally had to muster my own retinue ever since Lanre came into possession of a Necromantic artifact and him and his damn Azdrazi were fighting us, but make no mistake I will enforce my will in this manner. I am not some immortal elf but I promise my ghost will linger long after my death to haunt you and your children if you mock the magical state with this. You may write your letters of protest to the Chamber of Earth - the accusations between you two has one solution: KAGGATH. Choose the path of shame and it will be known -R" A smaller section is left only for Yera: Yera I've given you an exceptionally long leash to do as you please, because your efforts contributed to the greater magical good. This relationship has benefited us both. Your recent public stunt besmirching the capital, trying to rope me into your issues with Haus, and now this gimmick with the Orcs is souring on me. I do not want another rival as a Magister. Cooperation has always suited you better. Will we smooth this over? If Im a rival, it's because you are making me one"

The Grand Magister looked through a very old archive of letters "What is our nations stance on the Barony? Oh we recognize it and the Baron? Ah well, yes, I remember now...I like a good autocrat. If this becomes a problem for the Baron, someone let me know...we can help him restore discipline" He would remark privately to an aspirant.

"Ah, selectively choosing what to believe in the Canonist faith is all the rage now a days it seems." Remarks the voidal Mage, Razad. "Have these people even talked to a mage?" He scoffs

"Posturing...jockeying for public opinion....distortions of truth...truly. Some might even say she is gifted..." "This Kaggath shall prove to be one of the better ones. Also, now my private letters remarking on my own ugliness are made public. Truly, an embarrassment. Why cannot I just be an old aggravated mage who worries about the pools of my oasis as I debate voidal theory - I imagine Fahrazad must have had it easier" 3,000 Minas is a large sum, though. I only wonder who will take it.

The Grand Magister would file Haus note, awaiting to see what response might await.

Two Elven Magisters locked in Kaggath, as they slay eachothers retinue before focusing on eachother Ancient Kaggath Magister House Paradox * Magister House Silveira THE DECREE IS MADE Having come to a state of beyond discourse, I discharge my duties as Grand Magister in authorizing KAGGATH, a sanctioned war between two Magister Houses. As these two houses have risen to a state of dispute between each other that is endangering the balance and stability of the state, only power may restore order and prevent decades of violence. Ancient Kaggath has served as the tool by which the Hakad have used to resolve the ungovernable nature of the most powerful of magi since we have thrown away the shackles of servitude from the warlords who enslaved us, condensing these disputes in time. This ancient code is perhaps one of the only strictly adhered to tenants of Hohkmat, given the unruly nature of Mages. Reserved only for the highest echelons of power. It is the ‘great challenge’. The struggle of powers. All who take up our mantle and claim one of our thrones as the most powerful Magi in Aevos are bound by it. Victory, liberation. Defeat, ruination. THE RULES ARE CAST Each Magister may call on the entirety of their power base and employ all tools at their disposal to seal victory in this conflict to assert their will with the following exceptions. All Members of the Chamber of Earth and the Chamber of Fire are off limits for recruitment. All destruction, vandalism, and violence is restricted only to the holdings of the Magisters in question (District of Paradox, District of Greed, City-State of Kaethul and any undeclared or unknown private properties). Once allegiances are declared, no outside interference may be offered by any non participating party upon commencement of the Kaggath. All parties are absolved of punishment for acts taken as a part of Kaggath within all involved territories of Hohkmat (Paradox,Greed, Kaethul) and who are also participants in the conflict; but are subject to the laws and norms of acts conducted in foreign territories. The Houses are responsible for their power bases actions in these instances. Mages may choose to remain unaffiliated and uninvolved. Any violations of the rules are to be appealed directly to the Grand Magister. The Chamber of Fire shall be prepared to punish violators. The Kaggath ends upon forfeit or by declaration of the Grand Magister. The apprentice of the House shall continue the Kaggath if the Master is slain. The Houses may negotiate a cessation between them at any time. THE OUTCOMES; MADE CLEAR The winning Magister may seize the life of the losing Magister; at the discretion of the Grand Magister, properties may be transferred from the defeated to the victor. This feud shall then be declared over. In the event there are no heirs of a house remaining at the conclusion of the Kaggath, a masterless house's holdings shall return to the Grand Magister for distribution to another Magister. Otherwise, magical true lineage shall apply. MY Authority of these Magisters is Supreme. Judgment reserved to Kaggath alone. Their Fates are now Bound. ALLEGIANCES TO A MAGISTER HOUSE MAY BE DECLARED FORMALLY, SENDING YOUR DECLARATION TO THE SACRED ZIGGURAT OF HOHKMAT AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATION DECLARE TO THE ZIGGURAT (OOC: Signups begin today, and end next Sunday. Events will begin that week)

Razad would remark to a small council of mages "Curious....our treaty bound friends trying to disparage us in the dark, while they themselves are hosting agents of the enemy, while I wait endlessly for those forces they promised to help us fight the demon and the necromancer..." With a flick of a wrist a quill and parchment hover into his hands "I should write Valindra about this, a devoted Canonist Mage." @Morigung-oog "Dearest friend, It would seem the Lurinites can't seem to help but crossbow themselves in the foot. I'd not see our own people do the same, and I'm interested in establishing more permanent and formal relations with the Church...let us meet. -The Binder of Fates"
