Asul'athri walks around the new-born city, high up upon their plateau. It is growing more lively with every day, but each and every day, more threats arise to halt the progress of the new city. And more and more, it became apparent that their long-sought peace would soon be broken - not by mortal men, but by Undead ranks. Hammers strike the anvils, and swords and armour take shape. Bowstrings snap, and arrows crack against their sullen make-shift targets. And birds in flock carry letters to the four corners of the earth, to all those whom would attempt to fight against the Undead. "The Fragments of Silver prepare. We march with you against the Betrayer and his ilk."

Love it. Just one question - is it edible? :P Jk. +1

You've said that about a lot of lore, Jistuma, whether you were simply offering opinions or denying it. To be fair, it is your job and the latter is a valid reason to deny lore. Back on topic, me likey. +1

Yowch. I wonder if he needs ice for that burn. I wasn't even the guy being burned and I need ice.

There was great chaos upon leaving for the Refuge, and many of our kind were lost, slaughtered by the ame and assimilated into others' peoples. But Silver was eternal, and in the times to come, there would be great change and reform. Indeed, there would be progress, even if, for the time, the aheral would have no health. With the Usurper Phaedrus risen to power, and aheral being persecuted and hunted from all across the lands, there were those whom sought to save their culture and rescue their people, and they took on the sacrifice of the Sillumiran. Thus was the Chapter of Ellomian'thilln born. And so, in groups of two and three, the Blessed Elves sought their kindred out deep in the hearts of hostile lands, and brought them back to home. Progress would be made. Thusly did the Blessed Elves stand proud once more, and began to rebuild a life from ruins. They sought peace, unity, and isolation, as in the days of the Tomb, and tempers began to simmer down. And though for a few years they were fearful and quiet, the discontent in the failed nation of Laureh'lin grew, and the mali'aheral grasped the opportunity with both hands. And so the, the leaders of the time, of Tilruir'tir Asul'athri and of Avern'dionne, of Maheral Delonna and of Andria, whom had given up her seat, began to plan for peace, and for war. Progress would be made. But of course there were times when peace was shaky, and the ground uncertain - Renatus and Oren clashed, and clashed again, and then clashed again, before the kingdom of Crows was made gone. And though the aheral enjoyed peace with the Crows in the times of Kalenz, they turned their backs, and forged a new alliance with Renatus. An ally strong was made. Progress would be made. The Naysayer, in his time, had estranged the bortu and the uruks, had spread filth upon them with insults, assuming wrongly that our aid from the Carrions would last forever. And so we had paid dearly with it, when the gates of Annil'sul were opened that we might be forced from them, and cut down where we stood. But the aheral were not stagnate - they, as the tempers of the other nations cooled, and they were forgiven of their had-been leader's trespasses, forged and brokered treaties with cool mind and silver tongue. And thus were two allies in the uruks and bortu made. Progress would be made. And then, a group of a dark elven people rose up from their brethren, and upon Phaedrus and on their counterparts, they waged war, calling upon the might of the world to aid them. And with them the aheral promised to ride, and to set their skills to the test. The Sillumiran were sparked with flurries of activity, as men were gathered up and action was taken - scouting and spying, strategising and training. The people of Laureh'lin were not stupid, except for their senile leader the Usurper. They foresaw the coming of a world war, and to the nations they pleaded for mercy and peace. And some among them came up to push aside Phaedrus' mantle, who stubbornly refused the terms of both aheral and ker, and there was peace. The flurry of the Sillumiran died down, and quieted, as did the pens and blades of all the other races and nations. There would be peace. And at last, our true home, the lands beneath our Annil'sul, was being returned to us. Progress has been made. And as we wait to return en masse, progress will be made.

A black smoke, with burning streaks of red, passes into the Catacombs, unheralded, violent, and silent. In a booming, sinister voice, the once-Sentinel proclaims, "Your founder has come again. I request entry as your Silencer - and should we need to join the Covenant again, I may now do so - and gladly... The fools of the wood elves will most dearly pay."

That's very largely the POINT of the whole magic. It was meant to be a simple rewrite such that it would become the exact same as evocation magic, except that it comes from a Deity. If this issue continues to come up, and/or a loremaster posts support for this particular issue to be addressed, and/or denies the lore, expect a repost or edit to account for such - a complete overhaul to make it more unique.

It's more like physically impossible - connecting with a deity generally severs your ability to learn unrelated magic, such as is the case with Tahariae. Also, gods tend to be jealous. Doesn't matter what religion, they generally as a rule don't like their followers following other deities to the same extent as they would follow their patron. Plus, particularly in the regards of the Fire Daemon, he WOULD want his follower to remain somewhat physically strong - remember, he prefers to choose his champions out of seasoned warriors and swordsmiths. As for air... Well, I based it sort of and sort of not off of Buddhism. It's sorta of a big melting pot for a few major religions. ut due to it's freedom aspects, I feel it connects a lot with the Indian prince. He imposed rules and restraints on himself to allow himself to become free. It works, as paradoxical as it seems. Thanks. And yeah, I see what you mean about the down-sides - I think both up-sides and down-sides have been expressed by various people on the post. Though, like you, I believe it has more pros than cons. Hmmm... You know, that makes sense. I didn't think of that too much.

^ Main reason I wanted this lore. I can work with pretending OOC, but others might not. So, after some consideration, this post is still active, and should be taken as such. 1. Just makes it easier for them to achieve their goal. 2. Sorry, I'll try. I followed Goldensaint's post for a format. 3. Thanks. :P 4. Explained in post, see paragraph 3 in the individual Aengudaemon's section.

That works for me. In that case, someone deny and remove this lore to the archives. :P Though I'd kindly request that clarification of this be put up in the guides or lore forums, so that others may see and work with it - at the moment, the majority of people believe that the character must ICly know it is void magic. Edit: On second thought, leave this idea up, in case someone still wants it to happen.

Lago told me otherwise. Well, at the moment, they don't. An alternative source IS unnecessary - it's something that would be nice to have. If you have another suggestion, shoot away.

This is about what I would intend - it could be the same as normal evocation, just drawing from a different source. So yeah, this would work. I'll start working on it. :) Thanks.
