Remember when CT got in contact with new players constantly rather than sit on people's heads? Yea...

A towering atronach of flame reads the missive "They allow void within Norland now?"

“Nah. My character has seen more scary things than this!” A very powerful rewrite tho, I like this.

Stripping of a Raguk Name [!] A missive is sent and can be seen throughout the spiritualist settlements. As many of you have heard by the recent Grand Moot, conducted by the Motsham himself with the presence of the Dominus, one of our own has been corrupted by the very thing we seek to destroy. Kul ‘The Worm’ Raguk has been marked with the title of not only whitewash, but as a darkspawn as well. I know I am not qualified to declare such an order belonging to a Wargoth, but there are no other Raguks of status here in the Iron Uzg which can execute this. With a heavy heart, I declare the following: Kul ‘The Worm’ Raguk is hereby stripped of all Raguk titles and benefits which come with those titles. The trinity of Gentharuz, Gazigash, and Leyd have judged Kul as unfit for the clan of Leydluk’Raguk, the clan of Skalp’Raguk, and the clan of Grizhluk’Raguk. With my authority as elder, may the spirits act. Draaghluk’Raguk

An Elder Raguk reads the missive with a nod "Hozh. Nub need to worri about thoze bloodzuckerz animore."

A certain atronach of flame hears rumors of the plight of Celia'nor. "The principality have been very naughty this year by allowing the undead within their walls. So I suppose they had it coming." A voice echoes from within the metallic plates.

A construct of voidal flame, member of the Brotherhood, takes note of the missive. “It appears we see the same then, Vallien. Thus we are correct on our assumptions that Celia’nor allows darkspawn within it’s walls. Unfortunate.”

The Brotherhood's Report on the Existence of Darkspawn in Celia’nor BEGIN REPORT. The 6th of Sun’s Smile, 103 of the Second Age. While acting upon Brotherhood duties within Celia’nor by testing the residents of the city which included pressing aurum into the skin to scan for soul affliction, we were stopped multiple times by what is assumed to be a guard official in which he stated that we cannot do this within the confines of the law without the permission of another official. We ignored this until an official recognized as “Aearion” stated that we could not do this even under Section 2 Article 8 part 1 and 2 of the Celian Law which state: Classified as forbidden arts are the following forms of magic: Dark Shamanism, Necromancy, Shade Magic, Mysticism, Frost Witch. If performed, taught or in any other way used within the principality one shall be prosecuted with the full extent of the law. Dark Magic: Bringing the dead back to life, in any way or form, is forbidden in any possible way within the Principality. This includes the usage of Necromancy, the usage of any relics, or any other way. Bringing a dead person back will result in banishment and the destruction of the undead being. These laws as they are in place allow for the habitation of darkspawn within the walls of Celia’nor as indirectly admitted. We request part one and two of these laws to be immediately changed as soon as possible to the following to avoid confirmation that Celia’nor does indeed host darkspawn within their walls: Classified as forbidden arts are the following forms of magic: Dark Shamanism, Necromancy, Shade Magic, Mysticism, Frost Witch. If performed, taught, in any other way used, or tested to have a weakness to aurum, associated with the dark arts, within the principality one shall be prosecuted with the full extent of the law. Dark Magic: Being undead or bringing the dead back to life, in any way or form, is forbidden in any possible way within the Principality. This includes the usage of Necromancy, the usage of any relics, or any other way. Bringing a dead person back will result in banishment and the destruction of the undead being. Failure to comply will be subject to further scrutiny. END REPORT.

Draaghluk sat on the bench alone with limp posture within the forge of the city, his eyes dulled of both color and emotion. Before him, a chalk-made ritual circle of shamanic design. It appears to have already activated some time ago, noting the burnt incense and melted candles which have let the wax fall onto the floor. His foot tapped rapidly against the floor with anxiety, echoing throughout the quiet with nothing but the rain outside pattering against the earth. Within his trembling hand, a note. The forsaken note he knew full well was coming but feared nonetheless. Skaatchnak was dead. The crimson goblin clenched the note tightly, crumpling the tear-stained paper as more tears appeared within his equally tear-stained eyes. He could still see his dearest friend before him, the ever-dreaming fool who sought to bring the orc race to glory once more. The goblin throws the note aside in a moment of rage, letting the crumpled piece roll across the cobblestones as he shakily lifts himself from his seat. He takes a few deep breaths, trying to control himself before picking up the note once more. After regaining composure, he takes a few slow steps outside within the pouring rain. He sets his sights upwards to the looming gray clouds, letting the cool droplets fall upon his face. He closes his eyes as he lets out a heavy, yet saddened sigh as he lets a few shaky words from his mouth, “Why… Why won’t you answer me…? What is the forge without the flame…?” Yet no answer came.

“All decendentz allowed to participate… Perhapz a trident of Ankrus,” A crimson goblin blacksmith reads over the missive then frowns “Zkah. I am nub gonna pray to their ‘godz’” He scowls as he shakes his head, returning to the forge.

The most powerful of shaman subtypes...

To be fair... That's pretty funny.

Shamanism is saved...

So… am I the only one to find it strange it is based on a spiritual magic source and not have shamans be able to interact with them in some way. Edit: After looking over the lore I can say this is eerily similar to shamanism, especially witch doctor and haruspexy with a lot of power buffs shoved into it, especially the Beastial Form reminiscent to Siliti.

"Nub way mi iz letting lat get da forge. It belongz onli to da worthi." A crimson goblin elder known as Draaghluk grumbles as he begins to write a counter missive to the claim to Rukagoth set forth by Turkurz’Raguk. TO THE COWARD RAGUK WHO CLAIMS THE AANGHUM ZNARIM-OB I, Draagkluk’Raguk, elder of Clan Raguk, counter your claim to the title of Rukagoth. I and our community of the Iron Uzg have put too much work into this holy forge for you to squander it with your self declaration of the “Master of the Forge” without any evidence to prove you have earned it. You are dealing with a power far beyond your meager capabilities of a smith. I therefore will entertain your thoughts of a smithing competition, but note that, you cowardly Raguk of no renown, I will never let you claim the holy forge, blessed by Azog and Gentharuz themselves.

"Raguk doez nub have trialz..?" An elder Raguk grunts as he reads over the missive

An elder Raguk Shaman looks to the black sea of the night sky above the Uzg. He notes the dimming of the stars and constellations within the heavens. With a small grunt, he moves to his home, taking up paper and pen to write.

Too busy running around mechanically in a circle. Sorry.

An elder shaman looks over the missive with a smirk "Zpiritual theroeiz huh. Thiz one might be hozh to zpeak to."

Never listen to anyone but yourself, the rest are palebeasts. I always hate the palebeast.
