An Ascended may not bring harm upon a descendant with an untainted, mortal soul; unless in doing so, they shield further souls from corruption. 2. An Ascended must swear themselves fully to the cause of our order and devote their lives to the enactment of Aeriel's will. The politics and allegiances of this mortal coil are fleeting; and must be abandoned. 3. An Ascended must give their whole to protect the mortal races; their very existence is to be a barrier against the darkness that seeks to devour the souls of the Sons. 4. The powers bestowed upon the Ascended are designed to combat those that would bring harm to the descendant races. Place your trust in the Flame; as it is Aeriel's will incarnate. 5. In all actions taken, thy must avoid endangering the integrity of the order. To bring ruin upon the Ascended is to taunt Aeriel herself. 6. Every soul is precious, from the tiniest of insects, to the creatures of myth. Even when sundered a sanctity remains. Aid those that come to us with goodness lingering in their hearts; destroy those that find solace in the darkness. A single broken soul saved is worth ten thousand destroyed. -
Three months ago Mephistophelian gathered the leaders of the holy orders into a chat and offered us all an opportunity to differentiate ourselves because, in all honesty, we did just about the same thing with slight color variations. Now the number of Ascended active in Axios is higher than it has been in actual years, and to welcome in this new activity I, Aelesh, and others set about modernizing our lore into something more interesting. We'll be looking over comments and concerns as they become apparent, but I ask that all responses be constructive. Ascended Rewrite Slideshow (All Slide View) Once all changes have been made this slideshow will be converted to regular forum form for documentation.

We know many of you remember the times in Aegis, specifically those of the Undead vs Ascended. For those of you who weren’t there or have only heard through forums or older players, the Ascended of Aegis were the main protagonists and were meant to battle the Undead. The problem with this, as many of you have stated, is that this role as the main protagonist left the races idly sitting by, unable to do much. And as we can see it’s left a lot of bad blood and stigmas from then that has carried over for the last four years of the server. This post is not only meant to clarify some misconceptions, but also gives us a chance to explain the future of the Ascended. The Ascended from this moment on will not be the main protagonists of Lord of the Craft. As part of the reformation, we all agreed that when 4.0 began we would not be thrust into the limelight of saving Athera. We do not wish to be the protagonists, that is up to you, it is the job of all the players of Lotc to be the protagonists. The Ascended are here to help, provide guidance, and assist the players against the Undead. While the reformation changes much of the way the Ascended work, we still hold onto many ideals that we believe help the server. Mainly, this would mean recruitment. While I’m unsure completely on how the Ascended of Aegis recruited members, I am aware the selection process was rather strict (i.e. Anyone who asked was immediately blacklisted.), the current Ascended will be recruiting through observation and roleplay. Everyone will have an equal chance. (Yes, including Staff.) We’ve worked months to choose and roleplay with people who are active on the server, thus giving everyone an opportunity to interact with us. We will also PM anyone we are looking at, giving them a chance to voice any concerns, and ask any questions they may have before inviting them. Interactions with the Ascended: The Ascended are slowly, but surely spreading out across the map. Currently we have a few members who try their best to be several places at once, watching, roleplaying and over all interacting with the players. As more members join our ranks, our presence will hopefully be seen more in nations, working together with guilds and settlements to help the descendants. How to become an Ascended: As stated before, the Ascended will be roleplaying across the map, looking for new members. However, while this may be true, we can not be everywhere at all times, so if you do wish to join us, we do have a main base of operations anyone may be able to locate through RP. What does it mean to be Ascended: With the reformation of the Ascended our new goal is simple: Providing fun RP for everyone on the server. With that in mind there are some responsibilities to being an Ascended. We do not wish to force anyone to RP with us. Characters will have their biases, fears, hatred towards us, that is all fine and remember that for every RP action, there is a RP reaction. Also keep in mind that we are all still human behind the computer screens, and we all joined Lord of the Craft for the sole purpose of having fun. If you are wanting to join the Ascended because you are looking for power, We can tell you now this is not the place for you. Our focus is not in power, but in providing RP. We do not shun groups away as we try to interact with as many people as possible. We as an order try to keep things fair, and if someone should stumble along the way and make a few mistakes we try to help them learn from their folly. We then address the error by trying to help you learn In-character as well as clarifying out-of-character. Should someone continue to make errors after being attempted to help improve it is then taken into consideration by the leadership. If the leadership decides it is fruitless to continue trying to assist the errors then the person will be stripped of their abilities and removed from the order. Questions, answers, suggestions: Hopefully, this post has shed some clarifications for you. There will be some of you who have your doubts, complaints, questions, which is understandable. In this case, we ask that you keep as respectable as you can. We’ve updated our Wiki pages for the more basic answers, if those do not help you, then please direct a PM to one of us below, any questions in this topic may get overlooked: James27049 501Warhead Zilldude Originally written by: Morsmordre in 4.0 TL;DR- Ascended reforms, new ways of doing things, not the protagonists, roleplay to provide fun for everyone.
