*You read the aforementioned scroll with a heavy heart. You know what it says is true, but are unable to understand. You and your brethren have bene chosen for a higher purpose; it is mystifying how many have fallen to their baser needs. You would think your people could rise above this, but you have yet to see it happen.
Perhaps you should have been less preoccupied with your tomes and sketches? Perhaps it is time you set aside your pick and shovel to journey back to the great cities. The people of Aegis must know your people can be better than they have seen.*
OOC RANT:
I am very disappointed in the Ascended. Riizu has just told me what spurred this thread, and I must say, I expected better from you. We set out to create a place where everyone could have fun on this server in a time when even the admins were still trying to get everything set up in the cities.
I know we talked almost in an OOC manner in RP chat almost constantly during the first month or two of this project, but that was simply because we were so preoccupied with actually building. Now that we have been released, we should RP CONSTANTLY, even among each other. No one is excused from this or any other rule. Not sages, not acolytes, not even initiates. All classes should be conducted in an RP manner as well.
Also, another thing brought to my attention is the fact that we have barely been seen fighting the Undead. I would like to reiterate that fighting the Undead is our sole purpose. If someone is late for an important event because they were helping to ward off the Undead, they are NOT to be reprimanded (don't take that as an excuse to miss your obligations, though). We are to fight the undead at any and EVERY opportunity we can. The only time we will not join a war is if it concerns the mortal races of Aegis only (i.e. the Elves, Dwarves, Humans and Orcs). If the Undead are involved at all, it is our duty to fight them off.
