*Posters and letters are placed throughout the Kingdom of Oren as well spread throughout the cloud temple.* *The red hound of House Briarwood is stamped on the fine piece of parchment* Let it be known. As of late, recent murmurs of a powerful enchantment has been on the lips of every man, woman, and child. There have been a multitude of discussions based around how said enchantment came to be, and whether or not it is a hoax cooked up in a mischievous enchanter’s basement, which in all honesty appears to be a more reasonable story. While no answer will be provided concerning the origins of said mystical rune, this missive has been penned to alert the masses that, the rumors are true. Those who work in service of House Briarwood have indeed unearthed the method of producing mystical armor. As to how a man of considerable wealth might gain such a piece of work, this missive serves as a means of acquiring the enchantment. For the price of one thousand five hundred minas, a book bound with the rune’s power may be purchased. For the price of one thousand and nine hundred minas, a prodigal crafted helm imbued with the rune’s power may be purchased. For the price of one thousand nine hundred and thirty minas, a prodigal crafted chestplate also imbued with the rune’s power may be purchased. For the price of one thousand nine hundred and twenty minas, a prodigal crafted set of leggings may be purchased, containing the same runic power. For the price of one thousand eight hundred and ninety minas, a prodigal crafted set of armored boots can also be purchased. For an order of an entire suit of armor, of course also imbued with said mystical enchantments, the price comes to a total of five thousand minas. In addition, holding the tradition of merchants dear, all prices can be arranged to be negotiated through a letter to Griffith Briarwood. (Lynxy) OOC Note:

OOC MC Name: Lynxy Skype User: Lynxykins IC Name: Francis Thorne Age: 17 Race: Human- Highlander Prior Merits and Service: Other than to my brother Arstan Bedell, none note worthy Do you understand that as an Initiate, your actions do not represent the Order of the Hallowed Flame? Do you agree to submit yourself to the Hierarchy of the Order, and in doing such, serve with loyalty undying to both your superiors and to Owyn himself?: Aye, I do

You were disconnected by Hosper, while I was the first at the scene. You knew they were a dark arts user and moved to not rid them rather flirt and try to engage in a relationship with them, the one that alerted us only did so after hearing about you doing similar things before. Your job as a war-cleric is to purge those that use evil magics, not to nurse them back to good.

The only issue with that is if a cleric does something wrong and no one is around when they did said thing who would inform the clerics they did this? An example being Jakir, who was only caught doing something he shouldn't have because a gm happened to be around there at the time. Managing disconnections is tricky business as no one wants to be caught doing something wrong. As well, those disobeying something told to them by an Itharel is almost the same as doing something against the patron(Other then telling them to do something against the patrons beliefs obviously). This being because they are meant to be Tahariae's will in the world and most trusted. I'm not saying that everyone wouldn't tell if they had done something wrong but going off past experience there are those that would not say anything. I do agree with the fact that swearing a lot and the rest are not valid reasoning's for disconnections and looked down upon, though at the same time those matters should be dealt with in rp and stay in rp.

"Because their ability to influence the world directly is so weak, Aengudaemons work by proxy: they act through followers. They build cults or orders of followers with which to further their goals and thwart the goals of their enemies. While in truth they are not innately good or evil, daemons are seen as evil by the Descendant Races and thus have a tendency to align themselves with isolationists, outcasts, "evil" groups or any other group that is separate from or shunned by most of mortal civilisation as they are. Likewise, while generally trusted and viewed as innately good by most of civilisation, there are aenguls that coldly focus on achieving their goals at any cost. One of the most potent powers of any aengudaemon is form a magical connection to their followers, allowing them followers, to draw on its magical power. This grants the followers magical powers akin to an arcane mage which are not hampered by the impermenant nature of arcane magic. However, drawing on too much power too soon can overwhelm, physically harm or even kill a user of aengudaemonic magic. Thus, like an arcane mage, an aengudaemonic mage must learn to control their magic before growing more powerful. Forging the initial connection usually requires the help of the aengudaemon or more commonly powerful mages of the order or cult, and thus to gain an aengudaemon’s magic one must share the motives and goals of the aengudaemon and their followers. When manifest, an aengudaemon is akin to a powerful mage in magical power, even though it can only use a fraction of its true power and whenever it does it risks temporarily binding itself to the physical world. When unmanifested, an aengudaemon can channel its power through several followers, resulting in several powerful mages and no risk of harm to the aengudaemon itself. Aengudaemons work via proxy because it is both far more effective, far more efficient, and because the risk to the aengudaemon itself is practically none. Because of this, the colder and less empathic aengudaemons may view the world as little more than a game: the death of a pawn is a setback, not a tragedy. Once an aengudaemon has allowed a mortal mage to draw on their power, they can no longer stop them from doing so. If one of their followers goes renegade and continues to use the aengudaemon’s magic, the aengudaemon will send their loyal followers to hunt them down and use severing magics (usually known only to the highest mages of the order or cult) to cut the rogue off from the aengudaemon. The only other way to sever the connection is to remove the aengudaemon from the world, as was the case with Aeriel and Iblees at the end of the Undead War." This was pulled from the Aengudaemon lore, and such is the reason why disconnection is a spell. Though I may be wrong about this still being a thing, and if so my bad on being wrong.

MC Name: Lynxy *A small bird would find its way, carrying in its talons a small letter, neatly folded as best as it could be* IC Name: Bryn Wold Age: 10 Race:Human, Heartlander Back story: *Written in the best penmanship a ten year old could* I've been a farmer most of my life, raised by my mother and grandfather on his farm and taught the ways of the land, how to read and write, and very little on swordsmanship. My mother passed away from illness a year ago and I've been wandering about since. I've heard about and ran into a few of your group and have been told a bit about then by my cousin. I would like to be trained and become a member in your organization if you would have me - Bryn Wold

Selian dips his head in a nod, a faint smile coming to his face "Hopefully something worth calling brethren, unlike those others that my teacher told me not to mix into" he sighs turning away, the old orders robes fluttering as he does. Fond memories of Therins teachings come to mind.

The only issue I see with this lore is the way she acts toward the human world and intervening if it falls out of balance, which I am pretty sure Eshtael the Aengul of Balance already does if it is /heavily/ needed

S'lith Elibar'tossair paces back and forth in the war tent they have set up, going over their coin and troops with a smile crossing his face. After word reached him of his brothers plans things set in motion rather fast. He goes over their supplies with a firm nod before going back to focus on the war table and plans.

This is...just yes..

It's not called power gaming. Is he in any way being Over powered? Is he denying to die? Is he refusing to lose? No By RPing it he was trying to work out kinks and find out what and what not to do, in no way did it harm anyone. I have seen him use it and it seems fair, it does not grant him anything too special besides a fighting style. It also does not matter what date he joined if he can RP it well, and maybe it is part of his back-story or something?

Can't tell if troll or serious......>_>

((I would like to note that I sent it off the letter attached to a bird as it said to in the post Secondly I would like to add I wrote the letter in the privacy of my home so please don't meta ^.^))

*looks at the note with a wicked smile, walking to his house and taking out a quill and ink. He begins to write a note.* “I, Bayde Thyone, swear my life to this cause. Ever since the age of fourteen I have been secretly worshiping Iblees and have had the luck and honor of being blessed by an undead on my birth. I have murdered people since I was fifteen, torturing people slowly and giggling madly as they pleaded for their life. I am a master swordsman and a master smith(both level 100) willing to use my skills and carry out an order without a single question. I have also seen many wars in my youth, beening just a child when the undead started to attack. A undead gave pity on our little town and lets us leave peacefully and for that I am thankful. As for wanting to become undead, I care not, but will take great honor in it if the opportunity is presented. My history is a long one starting with my birth. I was born in a small town named New Alstion in the northern parts of Aegis. On my birth and undead named Vardak put a blessing on to me and my twin sister. Around the age of four or five our small town was taken over by undead. Luckily, we were given a chance to leave peacefully. At the age of fourteen I began to worship Iblees and I started killing at the age of fifteen. I still live the same life now, killing when I can and worshiping a bit more openly within my family.“ *As he finishes the letter he take out his dagger, poking his index finger with the tip letting a small line of blood flow out before signing his name in with the crimson liquid “Bayde Thyone” he then waits for the ink and blood to dry. After it drys he folds the letter and seals it using wax with the Thyone crest before sending it off with the selected bird and sits back down at the desk with a dark smile* (MC name:Roxses20)
