Scholar's Society

~*~ The Scholar’s Society ~*~ In the City of Silver stand a few, Of wisdom and progress they pursue, In memory they hold the ways of the old, And their traditions, they will uphold. ~*~ First Annual Haelun'or Debate: Clericism ~*~ Long has it be debated if being a cleric, paladin, or ascended of the like is a pure act. Some say it promotes the maehr'sae hiylun'ehya, while others say worshipping another above our creed is outlandish. Thus, the Scholar's Society is holding a debate this upcoming Grand Harvest to have the citizenry voice their opinion. The Sohaer has been kind enough to offer to moderate this session, and it is sure to be a show! It is hoped to see the many citizens of Haelun'or about to share their thoughts on the matter. The debate will be held upon the stage in the town square of Lin'sulan. ((Saturday, March 12 at 3 PM EST / 8 PM GMT - Stage in city below the spire)) ~*~ To Call A Meeting ~*~ For the Society to progress and for our mission to spread, we must meet and discuss matters. Let it be known that a meeting has been called of all the membership of the society, and any who are interested in joining may attend! It will be held on this upcoming Malin's Welcome in our official residence in Lin'sulan. ((Friday, March 11 at 5 PM EST / 10 PM GMT - Large house near the giant tree))
