Ooh, this sound fun, Acria Jusmia Dark Elf shaman who pacted with the moon and stars

Atop the temple of Nor’asath under the moonlit sky, two maehr knelt before the shrine of Luara. “For Mother Moon. You will find a new member of her council, erect their shrine. And you will find a worthy sacrifice for Luara. Bring her power. In addition your task will be to turn more ‘Ker’s eyes to her light.” Spoke the High Priestess. Both maehr, Acria Jusmia and Dal’lisse Oussana, affirmed their conviction to this goal and were given the spiritual mark of Luara upon their bodies as a reminder of their oath. Their tasks now lay ahead of them.

Acria sat in the Vau’jer embassy alongside her wife. Bitter memories crossed her mind after a visitor, and with it, a flicker of anger. She frowned, ‘Why, why is it so hard to fight this feeling, to remain calm?’ As the visitor left, she would ponder upon this thought in silence, coming to a conclusion. “Do you want to go on a spirit walk?” Acria would ask Dal’lisse. They descended to the lounge, and soon the pair entered the spirit realm. A great pine forest, the night sky above them, filled by the new moon. As they walked, Acria discussed the issue she had with herself with her wife, but was cut short. “For what reason do I have visitors?” The spirit questioned as it landed atop a great marble pillar. “I seek to be reborn, free of the burdens I have felt of late. I wish to share this, too, with others in your name” Acria replies with a bow. And thus a pact was forged. Acria was to return night to the city, free herself of her burdens, and spread the word of Sheprakht. When she returned, she pondered upon what this meant for her as she did the ritual of Luara’s councilor.

Acria Jusmia smiles faintly upon reading the missive, "Lup Luara." As she set the missive back down, her mind would wander to the concerning implications this would have for the future. The mori had blood magic...

If Farseer has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Farseer has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Farseer has no fans, that means I'm dead.

Very well written. DOWN WITH FREYGOTH!

"Too much liquid opium," Acria Jusmia mutters, shaking her head as she passed by the missive.

Would work great, however, growth speeds are severely limited during anywhere near peak hours. If the chunk is rendered by an EU or late night gamer, however, it would work.

The recluse Norlandic 'ker alchemist, Heldalel Indoren, would finally stumble upon this letter picking it up to read it, he would frown, "I don't remember signing this... or even hearing about it. And I'm one of the only maehr in Norland." He shrugs and continues on, "Must be the ramblings of a depraved fool who decided to sign for those he did not consult."

Hope you're still doing these!

Adalsteinn places the heads of a Jindle and their ally on stakes outside the gates of Alisgrad, shaking his head, "I do not know who you think you are, but let this serve as a reminder."

Adalsteinn wishes his last conversation with Mera did not end in argument.

"A well deserved ascension," Adalsteinn says with a nod.
