Aelu / Rel (Combustionary)

The last time the birdies ever killed something... they had asked me to do it.

((Only members can know this)) We will be supporting Seventis in the upcoming battle, to gain Renati's support against Aliquam. I need somebody willing to gather some information to send a bird. ((Also, I need to do most rp via forums for a week ish. On vacation and browsing via phone.))

Your walls only defend you, birdies, when the heart of your city; your people, wish to keep me out.

Orex is hardly my only supporter in Alquam, He's hardly even my only Spectre. Corvas Spectris will have a new leader soon enough. Orex, stay safe. I can arrange a safe area for you soon enough. ((Going on vacation, be back in a week or so. Won't be in-game too much. Also. If I were to find a mage, would it be possible to make my copy of the Book of Souls powerful, like the original?))

((Alright, on an OOC note, are the Spectres going to need a WC for this, or can we arrange some RP that leads up to this. So far, every time I am in AP, either I am alone, or there are some Spectres and no Order people. Spectres are supposed to be trying to take over the city, and to me it is looking like either a Timezone issue, or just 1 or 2 WO's even being in the city. If it's just a timezone issue, and the WO has a time where 4 or 5 of them at once are online, alright, but if it's otherwise it feels like the Spectres control the city atm.))

*Relgard laughs at his words, shaking his head before his reply.* I was here, in Aliquam, a while ago. I gained a new Spectre recruit from your own list of citizens. I can keep this interesting, though, have fun finding who he is. There were four of us, four Spectres, in the city. There were none of you. Past that, I find it amusing that you think you can intimidate me... I've single handedly driven the Dark Brotherhood from the city they once inhabited. What have you done? Played executioner for these poor, little birdies?

If it caused bad RP, it would have been "Fixed" ages ago. Let rp take care of its' self.

Because each of those was unrealistic and lowered the quality of the server's RP. There's no way to RP out that all the little groups just decided to forget their differences and work together. The groups and such are made because of the roleplay behind them. The more thought-out guilds with good structure will naturally gain more members, and those that do not will fall behind. People building wherever scarred the landcape. People making towns wherever did the same thing. Jack of all trades were poor RP'ers, mostly, so that was resolved. Bad Villains also, were caused by poor rp.

Funny, this is. I recruit men who already live in your city. Apparently your cowardly acts are not well received by the public? As I said before, little order of birdies, your city, or your heads. Decide too late, and I will gladly take both. ((4 people in AP. All are Spectres. lol))

That's still not an issue to be resolved oocly. Every player has the right to make a guild. As I have said before. This is an issue to be solved ICly.

*Chuckles* Certainly enough to destroy your order... we've done it once already.

I see this has been a large issue lately, and honestly, it is rather saddening. This is an RP server. If you want all the guilds with similar goals to band together... arrange it via RP. NOT OOC. I feel like people are fogetting that guilds are PLAYER RUN RP, not OOCly guided by say, mods or something. On an offnote... I love how I'm mentioned in the second post.

*Relgard looks to Aodran peacefully, and smiles* I come for revenge, I come for the end of the miserable existence of a once noble guild. I come for your heads, or your city. If you stay here, though, I will happily oblige and take both. Maybe you should leave to the White knights? Your combined forces will actually make things interesting when I descend apon them. *Relgard walks off, disapearing to the underground*

*Relgard listens from a rooftop, laughing to himself* Yes, birdies, leave me something to work with.

*Chuckles at the birds, planning to move an entire city* This, birdies, is personal. I will follow you to the nether if necessary for my revenge. *Looks over to his spy, just walking beside him, smiling as they discuss the Amell Island* ((ALSO, does this mean I get control of the old AP, since I essentially "Forced you out", or is it Seventis?))

((And the Amells are leaving, I am sure))

I am reacting against their past aggression. After everything I have done for these people, they betrayed me. Syrila was the one who called for my head after the incident. When we spoke, and I told her my story, we departed as friends. Does that not show something? The Ravens are corrupted, they no longer abide by the virtues of Alvaska. They work in self-preservation instead of selflessness. I do not wish to take the city from Seventis, I simply wish to destroy the corrupted White Order. I ask one thing of you; let the righteous side win. Either way, the city is under Seventis. I will not ask for outside aid, but in return, I ask that you allow me to do my work.

They are corrupted and traitorous. Even Syrila has become a friend of mine after hearing my story.

I am far too refined for war, my friend. I have my methods. That, is for certain.

*A notice is found on the city, on a large board covering much of the city's notice board* Is it not humorous, the situation we are in today? Once the revered ally and friend, now the traitor and weakened enemy? The Ravens have split, one group to an Island, one remaining in the city of Aliquam Purus. Aliquam Purus is such a misleading name, no? New Spectris sounds good, no? Perhaps "The City of Skybreak"? I can decide on something. When I joined this order in Aegis, it guided me to become a honorable person. It guided me to follow chivalry and honesty. It is a shame that its' changes were not permanent. Well, a shame for you, perhaps. But, how could I expect more from traitors? In my time, I've saved the Raven city of Corvas Animas from the brotherhood, I've always made sure the Spectres would not interfere with them. In fact, many of the Ravens were by my side in the Spectre-Walkers war. I thought that we were a bonded group. 'Tis a shame, you ask me for help against Barias' corruption, knowing I would oblige. 'Tis a shame, you disown me as soon as the defeated enemy looks for a person to blame. 'Tis a shame you likely expected me to turn myself over to our enemies, in guilt, to save you. I saw the ruse, of course, when I was banished and hunted. At this point, I simply marveled. I had brought war to the city, just with one assassination and some words. Even though your city was not destroyed, that is probably for the best. There is something for me to take as payment. You are divided, the "White Knights" and this "Order" This will be a simple matter. I am the Eye of Spectris, and I have cast my gaze on you, birdies. Let the games begin. ((And may the odds be ever in your favor))

Thank you, my friends. ((Now I get to go murder ravens at my leisure! Yay! :D))

I have decided that I may leave Holm to start anew. My role as the Spymaster requires me to be many places, and having to serve a constant role at Holm hinders that. Had I became king, I would have appointed one of my trusted Spectres as the new steward, to ensure that the plans for the city that I lay are completed. I feared that Holm would be left in bad hands, but I have since decided that she wishes the best for the nation. I do not feel that, in these conditions, I can effectively lead both then Spectres and Holm. Hannibal, I have some plans for new lands. If you wish to be a part of them, a part of the Spectres, you will be welcomed with open arms. Amell family, the offer applies also to those of you not already in our ranks. Luke Meyers, you may be asked to assist in construction, should another Spectre Nation be created. I do not leave Holm on hostile terms, quite the opposite. I am proud of the role I played in it, but, the plan for Unity has many fronts, and I cannot lead effectively in this position of Holm. -Relgard Sintel, The Eye of Spectris.

If a person wants power over a group ICly, and has followers, he has every right to create a guild. As I've said in a different topic. Forcing RP never makes it better. I mean. think about it RPly. Why would every single knight or warrior work with every other one? Why would every assassin work for the DB? Guilds are, and should be, almost entirely player-run. To bring OOC matters into would ruin the RP behind it.
