Someone far away looks over the architectural plans for a revitalized Academy of Hohkmat; what would have happened, had this world valued builders and scholars as it does soldiers and fire.

The Lich screamed in her mind: YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS THE FACE OF MAGI AS THEY BRING THE END. ---- She would be lying if she said she hadn’t considered it. All it would have taken was an unsigned warning. Who would have suspected Razad’s faithful lieutenant? But she said nothing. The storm of death in 1963 went unhindered. Faeryel has a weakness for fairy-tales. The guilty must be punished, even if it makes things worse. She did not tolerate a lesser evil for the greater good. She is now the Sorceress-Queen as the Void kisses the world.

“Escalate and be escalated against,” says the Grand Magister icily. “Cerusil and his Ferrymen were brought low by the might of the world in the last war.” “Does he think he will do better this time?”

i’m mageposting but there shouldn’t be any armored titans slinging T5 voidal magic who can’t be disconnected by normal means. i think they should have the same limitations on magic that they did in the old lore- ie only malda can do void edit: it's been suggested to me by people who aren't the lore-writer that they'd still have to follow voidal connection guidelines (eg a rakaal with water evo has voidal mage strength) but that should definitely be specified in the lore.

Governmental Appointments; A Search for a Vizier She who performs the duties of a job is entitled to the respect it entails. Subordinates often do better their superiors' jobs than their superiors themselves; I will rectify this as I see it. Appointments The Sage, Sarah of the House Artenin, is elevated to the MISTRESS OF STARS. As ever, this role is tasked with overseeing the duties of the Chamber of Stars, and its constituent FIRE, WIND, WATER and EARTH. The Sage has been my Vizier of Fire for some years, and in that time, while greatly expanding said Chamber, also dutifully served Earth and Wind. The Mistress of Stars has stood empty since my own ascension, and she is the natural choice for the title. Sage Artenin did not leave the role of VIZIER OF FIRE unfilled; she has appointed Avindor Divadri as her successor, and I have ratified his appointment. He is capable, dependable, and organized; the Patriarch of House Divadri; and an old comrade-in-arms. I look forward to his service as Hohkmat's shield. HELP WANTED I do not mean to impugn the capabilities of Isabella of House Fahrazad, VIZIER OF WIND; she has been a dutiful servant of Hohkmat for many long decades. However, time passes, and peoples' presence and powers wax and wane. As the Academy seeks to balance its weight on the ever-shifting world stage, I find myself in need of a new Vizier. Hohkmat is full of competent, intelligent people. I have begun the search for one who is knowledgeable of international affairs, as well as charismatic. If you are such a person, or know one, I am ever reachable by bird or found walking the streets. SO KNOWN Faeryel the Scholar, GRAND-MAGISTER, Sorceress-Queen, Hierophant of the Mysteries, Mistress of the Ziggurat of Hohkmat

Faeryel, who lived on Aevos, wiped a bead of sweat from her brow. "Phew! I thought something bad would happen to us!"
