[Do not metagame any of this information; the information of this retelling may be obtained through valid roleplay] ❯━━━━━━━「₪」━━━━━━━❮ THE ABYSS GAZES BACK A MASSACRE WITHIN THE CRATER It was an autumn day like any other amidst Malin’s Welcome, and not a Descendent could have prescience to what was soon to come. A gaggle of Urguani and members of the Mages guild alike ventured into Ando Alur, merely to research and exit by nightfall. Eighteen adventurers entered, while only ten returned to tell the tale. … In the heart of the fallout decades hitherto was the epicenter — a grand crater rife with raw Voidal energies, enough to overwhelm anyone and certainly stir chaos into spells. The group clambered up the crest of the rocky hills, and with their new vantage gazed upon the crater full of despair. Roars of incomprehensible terror bellowed from the epicenter and the company faltered in their determination to persist. Some advised exploring other areas of the Hollow, though the stubbornly bold pressed onward, descending the crust of the crystalline pyres of mana in the dreadful abyss atop blackened rock. Eyes peered toward them from afar, and though fleeting spiels of rituals were spoken, none came to fruition. Shadows, larger than life, watched from overhead, augmented by the crystal spires. It was a dwarf by the name of Kronk Stormheart who led them onward alongside another, Grimdal Irongut. The brazen group feared not, only faltering when the cliffside crumbled under their feet and a draconic, sable beast arrived. A behemoth.Silhouettes ordered them from afar, babbling incoherent tongues with occasionally words in between: Ľ̶̯̀͂̈̎͊Ẻ̷̬̯͙͎̻̮͕͑ͅA̶͎̬̰͑̐̈́̆̾͛͋͠V̴̨̡̝̪̱̭̰͊̒͛͋̆͠Ę̷͈̻̳̠͉̈́̍ Some fled, evanescing from the dreadful scene, others stayed for a short battle, outnumbered by the robed shadowy figures and great dragon. Panic fell upon the expedition as a sense of dread filled them, few unaware now of the turmoil they stood in. Several sought to escape, translocate elsewhere, far away; some were successful, while others met their end in the ether or simple suffocation. Air Evocress was the first fatality, followed by the dwarven trio cornered and incinerated by the dragon against an earthen barrier. Eliza, the leader of the Mages guild was transfixed by her own creation — pillars of quartz stabbing through the ground. The shadowmen closed in, having hauled an elfess, Ruina, and another elf, Beranabus away, pulled into the abyss. ❯━━━━━━━「₪」━━━━━━━❮ In the end, they returned to what had spawned this deathly sight: a void. Utter darkness, enshrouding their every sense. They were faced with the imminent, to eventually coalesce with it no matter their struggle and strife, without an exit from the pitch black plane. No matter a woman’s musings of alchemical abilities, no matter a friendship cut short. Even witnessing so-called salvation was only watchful eyes blurred by the darkness, arriving to offer a deadly embrace. Their reality was warped, here, fading in tandem with their consciousness. It was no use, thence adjoining the shadowmen’s conglomerate within an instant. ❯━━━━━━━「₪」━━━━━━━❮ Garbled words had surrounded the group prior, from the harbingers of quietus, reapers of the Void. Perhaps those who had escaped were the truly unlucky ones, left with the injury, the memory of the occurrence bygone. Vestiges of what was to come, in the wake of the Void; whilst fallout grew weaker, it preyed on many notwithstanding this. Despite their valiant struggle, when faced with eternity and a lack thereof, it returned them whence it came: to the abyss. Gone, forevermore, those left would be the only remaining to tell the tale of the Second Fall- the beginning of the end for Ando Alur, and to recollect the fallen. Air, Beranabus, Ruina, Eliza, Kronk, Gwydion, Grimdol, Odysseus. Perhaps brave, perhaps idiotic; they would never know. Ten had escaped. Nemesis was nigh, and the unfortunate coincidence offered a dramatic irony alongside it.

Alurian General Medical Clinic -Code of Conduct- 19th Of The First Seed Year 54 Of The Second Age Medical Personnel: Medical Director: The medical director is the head of anything and everything medical related to the clinic of Aluria, being appointed by the prince/princess of Aluria through showing the prince/princess the ability to lead and show they’re of great knowledge within the medical field. They are tasked with the ability to maintain the clinic which means upholding the values and rules of the code of conduct , appointing a surgeon general to help the upkeep of the clinic. The director is able to rewrite the code with approval of the prince/princess, and revise it at any time. Surgeon General: The surgeon general is the second in command under the medical director, being appointed by the medical director, the surgeon general’s duties are to help maintaining the clinic and the code of conduct being the acting medical director if they are away, hiring those who educate the young medics of today, the surgeon general is tasked with giving the medical exam one needs to pass to become a practitioner of the clinic. Deputy Surgeon General: The third in command to the medical director who is appointed by the surgeon general and being approved by the medical director. The job of this role is to help both teach those under them and hire those who wish to teach. Finally, they are also able to help the surgeon general in the duty of giving and ‘grading’ the medical exam one needs to become a practitioner. Chief Practitioner: The chief practitioner is the role one ‘lucky’ practitioner get’s for a term of four years (four IRL weeks). They have shown that they are capable of being more than just a normal practitioner within the clinic and can handle the extra duties of assisting in the education of the apprentices and average practitioners. The chief is also able to assign and re-assign medical cases according to the practitioner's skill set. Practitioner: A medic that has completed the education and passed the medical exam given by clinic management, therefore receiving their license. They may now practice medicine within the Principality of Aluria. Apprentice: A medic that has not completed the education and has not passed the exam given by the clinic management to receive their medical license. Though they are allowed to assist in cases with someone who is a practitioner or more to gain more knowledge on the practice. Auxiliary Practitioner: Auxiliary practitioners are the nurses/midwives, combat medics and those medics that have not devoted themselves to being within Aluria as a practitioner or have skills that most do not have as a practitioner such as being a fulltime midwife or nurse. They have been approved by the surgeon general in order to practice medicine within the walls and lands of the principality. Medical Curriculum: Current Used Medical Curriculum (Click It!) The medical curriculum of the Alurian General Medical Clinic has been given to the medical director from the surgeon general of Haense. Though we are able to use the paper based curriculum gifted to us by our allies in the northern parts. The clinic management has approved it best to only have your teachers based around the curriculum and it does not have to be generally exactly what the pages say within this post above. The management finds it best for those teaching to teach their students the easiest way possible… Which is how the student has told their teacher they wished to be taught such as, very hands on, book work, and or private or group lessons. Medical Licensing: Obtaining Your Exam: When the apprentice has found themself wishing to become a full practitioner, there shall be a meeting with the surgeon general or deputy surgeon general on if both the apprentice and teacher think the apprentice is ready. Then they shall move on to discuss when the apprentice shall take the exam. The Written Exam: Once the apprentice and the teacher have completed talking to one of the general’s of the clinic management they shall forth to begin the written medical exam. This exam is to mainly cover some questioning of the code of conduct and then theoretical events where medical knowledge is needed. The Practical Exam: Once the apprentice has then passed the written exam they shall move on to the practical exam, this exam will be given on a cadaver (a deceased body, meant for studies and educational purposes). The surgeon or deputy surgeon general will harm the cadaver, give detail and then allow the apprentice to begin the healing of the body. This will demonstrate to the exam giver that the apprentice is able to handle things that are randomly thrown to them, showing the skills to be a practitioner. Licensing: Once the apprentice has then passed both of these exams they are finally qualified for the role of practitioner they may practice freely within the principality. The rules of the the licensing are the same as those of the north which are the following in our own words: Should any apprentice practice without getting a license, they are at risk for all wounds caused and will be brought under the eye of the court for malpractice. Should any member of the clinic management practice without a license or have gotten their license renounced, they will be prohibited from practicing medicine inside the Realm of Aluria and in case of getting caught one will be brought under the eye of the court for malpractice. Should the medical director, surgeon general or deputy surgeon general lose their license, they will be deprived of their position, restricted from practicing within Aluria, and brought before the court for malpractice and gross incompetence. Patient Care: Patients may refuse treatment so long as they are fully conscious when the attending practitioner arrives. Only the clinic management (Medical director ---> Deputy Surgeon General) may overrule this should they deem it necessary ! Another descendant or next of kin may NOT refuse on behalf of the patient if said patient is unconscious Practitioners may NOT refuse to treat a patient of the citizens or allies of the Principality of Aluria unless the following has happened to the medic or patient, which is able to be overruled by the medical director Have assaulted (verbally or physically) the medic in question Have disregarded previous orders from a practitioner or higher ! If the patient gets severely crippled, wounded, or dies due to the practitioner refusing to treat the patient, the practitioner cannot be held liable if the patient falls under any of the above mentioned categories. Morgue Procedures: Morgue Entry: Morgue is and should always be a place of peace, and respect. Meaning those who have the right to enter the morgue are the following: The medical director, the surgeon general, the deputy surgeon general, and those who have been approved by the medical director to enter the morgue. Proper Care of Corpses and Cadavers: The proper care of the clinics corpses and cadavers should be upheld by the Surgeon general and their deputy. When working with the bodies they shall be stored up to twelve months before cremated. This is to prevent a disease or infection from breaking out outside the clinic, along with this adds to the fact of the limit of time a family has to receive a body from the clinic, for possibly proper burial or other reasons. Cremation: Once a corpse has been sitting within the morgue for the twelve months the clinic shall hold the right to begin the cremation process. Reporting: Basic Medical Reports: To keep track of patients and who works on them, after an operation a practitioner should feel out a medical report and hand it to the medical director. Depending on the times of Aluria there will be pay according to the number of operations. Morgue Reports: Reports are written by those working the morgue at the time on the person who has undergone autopsy, then being given to the surgeon general who will then hand it over to the medical director, so they may have the report in case a problem arises within the morgue.

In the olden days of Vira’ker the Syllar brothers stood together; Avurak, Canaan, Vulnir, and Valen constructed something they hadn’t thought of having in quite some time, a home. Although difficult it was living under the watchful eye of the descendants of Krug, they managed for some time. Soon enough the nation was prospering and the ‘ker people were united. Canaan and his brothers did their best to maintain the nation, until Vulnir had gone on a spiritual journey, only to be lost in the process. With the loss of his brother, the now three brothers were left stumbling without the head of state. Avurak and Valen were content with picking up where their eldest brother left off, whereas Canaan went off to find him. His journey began into the wasteland of the desert, the vast dunes and hollowed caves ahead of him. Canaan had hardly prepared himself for the journey however, he found the desert to be very unforgiving, the harsh sun scorching the ground and his skin alike. He sought out refuge within the caves below. The young ‘ker found momentary respite within the caverns, the shade cooled his skin and gave him plenty time to recover, and so he began to make his way out. He swore the entrance was just there, could he have made a wrong turn? He approached the supposed location of the exit, only to find stone in its place. He must’ve lost his way. He began to panic, stumbling throughout the caverns in a desperate search, plunging him deeper into the hollowed depths. His resolve weakened, his will broken by the caverns as he desperately searched in vain, alas it seemed hopeless. Within the week Canaan resurfaced, his rations depleted to nearly nothing. He stood emaciated and feeble, barely able to continue on, but he pushed onward for his brothers. He searched and searched, coming up with nothing. Throughout the years he began to accept his elder brother was gone, lost just as he was; then came the nation of Ando Alur, Canaan hearing rumors of a ‘ker named Vulnir at the head. He immediately made his way to the city, to find the rumors true, his brother at the head of another fine city. Canaan, now reunited with his brother, swore at all costs to never lose sight of him again, and protect him at all costs. As such the younger ‘ker was thus named the first Herald of the White Tower, Canaan of the Hollows.
