    Petition Of Adunia

    in Anthos Roleplay Archive

    Posted

    ((1. All of those where written from an ic perspective and i tried to be as objective as possible

    2. I did not even mention my father's name in the history

    3. I doubt you know that nestor wrote it ic, so meta(+there was no signature)

    4. When i was in the adunian chat and repeatadly asked for any stories to include no one wanted to add anything. So you should have been there instead of blaming me now.

    5. If you meant your character's father tell me who that was and i will respond appropriately.

    6.pm let's not flood this with ooc any longer

    7.Sorry for the mistakes i did not correct in the book i will make an updated edition later

    8. You can always make your own edition later, it will better depict the truth anyway to have more sources))

    The New Adunian Anthem

    in Thales and the Fringe Roleplay Archive

    Posted

    When she made the thread with the song she explicitly asked not to make fun of it an here we stand.

    It does not matter if you consider this a joke I doubt she will and in the end its her call regarding her stance towards it.

    Regardless she can speak for herself when she gets a chance to see this and I will not spare any more time here.

    Edict Of Anadune

    in Thales and the Fringe Roleplay Archive

    Posted

    ((You know chi I just published our recent history where we are obly classified as adunijians and anadunai. (And two books have alteady been sold and are in circulation.)

    So we scratch that clarification and roll with this? Cause then i will have to publish the next addition to the history with this clarification in mind.))

    Nestor takes a good look at the edict and tries to pronounce the names between his teeth.

    Valtors Of The Old Faith

    in Inactive Guilds

    Posted

    ((I will request no more ooc is posted in here and I am posting this only once as an exception. 

     

    To answer your question, there are no flyers or posts about it, but it's fairly easy to find us if you make a character that believes in the old faith since we aren't many Valtors or believers in the old faith. Asking around in character and you will probably stubble upon me at some point, probably sooner than later. If your character is not of the old faith though then it's unlikely to gather more information since it was never Nestor's intention to be known to others than the anadune and the believers of the old faith. Hence why I only recruit in character. Plus the fact that an app will not be as personal as the questions my character comes up with.

     

    In addition I do not wish any religious orders who are fond of purging non-believers to learn about us, so easily. It's not fun. 

     

    If that did not answer your question or you have further queries, feel free to pm me.

     

    Edit:This acts mostly as documentation, and allows me to easily direct recruits here who wish for further information. Plus it might attract someone who wishes to create a fresh character to join the Valtorians.

     

    Ps. Yeah I love Kayle's artwork. Hard to find something as good.))

    Valtors Of The Old Faith

    in Inactive Guilds

    Valtors of The Old Faith
    kayle_wallpaper_kayle_official_retouched
     
    "If my bones are to shatter and my armor to crack, Thalia let my spirit remain intact.
     
    And in these times full of shadows, let us dream the dawn."
     
    The Valtorians or Valtors for sort, is a group of holy warriors of the Old Faith that was created by Nestor Tarus at the 14th of The Amber Cold, 1450. Their goals is to seek the truth behind the visions that the gods provide and to combat the evil creatures that dwell into Anthos. Their ultimate purpose, despite being unknown to most Valtors, is to protect the Erythian Stars. Deeply religious and strong the Valtors are still few in numbers.
     
    Some of the Valtorian recruits choose to follow the path of Thronn and learn the secrets of heartfire. Yet the majority of the Valtors chooses to adopt the arts of war and they are trained in the use of sword, shield and spear.
     
    Chief Values and Morals of the Valtors
    Honesty. - None should lie without just cause- to prevent a wrong or to save someone.
    Tolerance. - "He  who speaks my tongue is my equal". We were all created by the same God.
    Loyalty. - Remember exactly who you're loyal to. Words are less valuable than blood.
    Hard work. - Conviction, conviction, conviction.
    Freedom. - To be held in highest esteem, none can bound a man, none can chain him down.
    Endurance. - Both mental and physical. When the time comes our strength will be tested.
    Hope. - For the journey will be long, and we all must keep walking.
     
    The Goddess Thalia
    A lesser god under Morighaen. The visions are believed to be derived by her and her initial worship began from Nestor. Despite her contribution to knowledge, she does not assist the Valtors in other ways but many Valtorians choose her as the patron god instead of one of the three, regardless.
     
    Known Rituals
    The Bonding of Silverline
    skyrim_mage.jpg
    "The men stood still and inhaled deeply. They blinked once and their eyes were normal. They blinked twice and their eyes stood still and pale. They blinked thrice and it was like nothing happened at all. And yet they had been enlightened."
     
    Most are unaware of the origins of the visions. If they are granted to the one who sleeps, or the one who after deep meditation has connected to the gods. Yet when the vision is seen, proper words are usually found insufficient to describe the message.
     
    This ritual provides the Valtors the ability to share what they saw with no omittance. It only requires the leaves of Silverline and the smoke that it generates when set ablaze.
     
    Ritual of the Shieldbond
     
    In a pitch black room, a candle burns in the center of the shadows, the only source of light. Two prospective-shield brothers step towards one another with their shields on their left arms. In the center of them burns the candle. The two circle the candle, staring at one another, smashing their palms into the shield in a rhythm unique to them. This persists for three minutes, after which, both most stop circling, take a knife, and cut the others free hand. They utter the words,
     
    "Before the sight of Thronn, and his inumerable faces, I swear to put guard my shieldbrother/sister's life with these hands. With this blood, I tie ourselves as one, unified in purpose and movement. With this shield, I raise it to defend our conjoined life, and the way of the Three." 
     
    They grasp each other by the blood hand and hold it firmly over the candle. They hold their hands over the flame until one of them cannot stand the heat and retracts, after which, they exit.
     

    More rituals will be added soon.Edit:Added the Ritual of Shieldbond. All credits regarding this ritual go to IlumTarus.  

     
    Ranks of the Valtorians
    There are no ranks within the Valtorians, aside from the ArchValtor, due to the small numbers of men, within the order.
     
    Recruiting

    Is done in character usually, and I currently see no point in an application. Pm me if you wish to create a character of the old faith or want to meet in game.

    Should The Rebellion Continue?

    in Anthos Roleplay Archive

    Posted

    ((I will state again what has been said along with something that may have not been as clear.

    A strong leader does not concern himself with (the opinion of sheep?) the doubt of others. Changing a nation through rebellion or other means is ambitious. Your ambition/vision of a better kingdom can not be explained. It can only be seen in the reality.

    Doubt your own idea and ask some second opinions and form the finest possible idea and the way it can be executed. And then make sure it is made into reality, through effort, patience and dedication.

    No one grants you his trust, cause in most cases you have to earn it. If you trully believe you can do a better job then go ahead and let the others worry about opposing you or stopping the rebellion.

    Ps. I am tired. If that seemed to general, simply research, spent time in game and lead by example

    Only you know if you are up for it))

    [Playable] Wraiths - Harbingers of the Fourth Age

    in Outdated Lore Archives

    Posted

    Mixed opinion on this lore. Great introduction and way to put it and your effort is clearly shown.

    Personally, though, I fail to see what the core idea achieves that other similar antagonists haven't.

    But all in all, I can't see harm coming from it and I do not see why one should dislike something about some inevitable similarities considering originality is about using the same ingredients with your own recipe.

    Or something along those lines.

    +1 and great work

    Let's Play Lone Wolf

    in Thales and the Fringe Roleplay Archive

    Posted

    Man.. Anyway i will edit here movie/plot and the full quote if no one finds it after pi4t has made his post.

    Edit: The prestige.

    Two young magic performers that antagonize each other. They are both obsesed with how the other makes the magic trick.

    It's a great movie about obsesion. Cast: Christian Bale, The guy who played wolverine, michael cane, scarlet jonhasson.

    A small narattion is done throughout the movie by michael cane. Where he explains the basic principles of how a trick is done and you compare this tonlife because of the scenes that are shown. Also it has plot twists.

    Best movie about magical performers i have seem but can be too complex to immediatelly understand.

    http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/

    Full Quote:Robert Angier: Many of you may be familiar with this technique, but for those of you who aren't, do not be alarmed. What you're about to see is considered safe.

    Angier(hugh jackman) says that when he is about to perform a seemingly dangerous trick.
