7/19 Full t1 Sweep

ok, after the first Haven Hosted raid, I think we should all give it another shot, make this a weekly thing for sure. For this reason i have saved my Dark Templar out for the whole week and will be leading all three tier one raids on Monday, 7/19, at around 7 pm PST.

Reasons are the same as neverlins. Ill go ahead and lead them, unless somebody else wants to, FFA on erping, jokes are allowed, girls no shirts. ;P

If you all would like, and i am totaly game to do this, we can have this be an IC raid, or OOC. IC would be a lot of fun, ill leave that open for response.

So Rsvp here just by commenting after it and lets have a fun monday night.

Come and Get the Mad LOOTZ!!

 

Into the Sightless Vortex (A proposal for an Open RP Framework)

Into the Sightless Vortex is open for all to enjoy.

Thanks everyone!

Wedding Reception in Tortage

The Wedding Reception

The stink of the seashore loomed heavily in the humid night air as Neverlin took another long swig from the bottle of blackberry wine. Smacking his lips, he slunk against the side of an abandoned warehouse. He strained to keep his eyes open as the soporific effects of the sweet liquor dulled his senses.  Normally, he did not condone drinking to excess, being a firm believer in keeping one’s facilities optimal.

But it had been a particularly tough week and the life he led now seemed a grim caricature of the one he envisioned.  So he sighed and indulged himself with another swallow.

Keptah

She awoke with a start. Something wasn’t right. “Keptah…” she breathed.


Sitting up in her bed, she looked out her open window into the night sky. She could see the stars, beautiful against the dark expanse. She could no longer feel his presence. He was gone.


She suddenly felt a strong sinking feeling in her chest. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. She quickly cast a simple spell and realized that she was healthy. What could this feeling be? She had heard others talk of love sickness… but surely that could not be what this was. Then again… could it?

Hot Gardack Nights

Hot Gardack Nights

A mosquito zipped and buzzed about the mammothskin tent, bumping up futilely against the soot covered ceiling searching for an escape.  Neverlin sighed, dabbing the moister from his forehead with a silk napkin and sunk deeper into an arrangement of satin pillows.  Even in the late evening the sticky hot weather was intolerable, and he was sweating like a virgin in the Pyramid of Ancients.  A pile of searing red coals in the center of the tent certainly didn’t help matters either. The mosquito dove towards him suddenly, perilously close, but still just out of the Necromancer’s grasp. With a blink, Neverlin snuffed the life force out of the tiny insect and watched it spiral downward onto the smoldering coals, incinerating it with a faint sizzle.

He really hated the swamps.

Chat Room

Is it possible to embed a chat room into the haven?

 

I think this would be a good place to do some lve event coordination.

A Grey Turn of Events (continued)

*** After their run in with Amtexa from the Grey Knights, Keptah and
Cymera seek refuge in their Guild City of Hus in Poitain.  They walk to the large study in the Library.***

*** Keptah summons one of the students and instructs him to take Cymera to her room and ensure that she is comfortable.***

 

[Keptah]: "Cymera?"

[Cymera]: yes?

[Keptah]: "About the scene back there... You do know... that I never meant what I said... about you being nothing to me..."

[Cymera]: *she looks at him almost tenderly* i know that

[Keptah]: **He bows his head in respect.** "I just... was hoping you knew this... And I apologize for letting my anger get the best of me..."

[Cymera]: do not worry... it was justified... *she grimaces* amtexa turned out to be just like the others

[Keptah]: "You must understand..."

The long walk

"Its fer the best..." 

Doc said as he trudged on through the snow.  He sounded more like he was trying to convince himself than the horse he appeared to be talking to...

"She'll hate me... She'll move on... an' She'll be happy an' safe, right?" 

He pets the horse's mane, trying to calm himself.  It doesn't seem to be working.  He frowns and rubs his eyes as he continues to trudge uphill, moving farther and farther into the mountains.

"Its fer the best..."

((Leaving Iraq! :D Losing access to game for a bit D:  I'll keep checking on this from time to time... so if ya wanna keep contact, I'll try to check it out ;)  Love RPing with you guys, and as the governer of the great state of California once said.... I'll be back.))

[Keptah]: "Can you see it ahead of us?" **He asks Cymera**

[Cymera]: yes *she eyes him with a smirk because he looks to be hiding in the bushes*

[Keptah]: "What is it you see?"

[Keptah]: "I ask."

[Cymera]: i assume you are speaking of the ship

[Cymera]: *her eyebrow arches in interest*

[Keptah]: "And it is why you are incorrect, Cymera..."

[Cymera]: what is it you speak of then?

[Keptah]: "Death, war, souls to be left for wandering... Chaos... I see these things as mere objectives which we, meaning; you and I, must come to pass and complete... Together..."

[Keptah]: "You and I, we are one... United... We are legion, yet in two forms... Not one."

[Keptah]: "Twice as strong..."

[Keptah]: "My goals are yours."

[Keptah]: "And yours are mine..."

The Iron Tower and 'The Prisoner'

 
Keptah paced back and forth across his study room. A symbol of the Black Dragons and a mask which the gangs ‘The Daughters’ seem to wear lay upon the desk along side the various papers scattered upon the wood.
 
Long has Keptah walked the living realm to make countless enemies and gain a very few allies that could stomach the sinister aura which clinger to Keptah. Many nights ago Keptah had spoken with a man outside the gate which leads to the Common District of Tarantia.

Through the veil ov Deception

((OOC: This is just to help some people OOCly understand what's going on with the Thorgard plot that is going on.

Thorgard ran into Keptah briefly one night, the two introduced and exchanged names, and afterwards Thorgard had seen Keptah attack Invicta one night(Tesso Thursday.) Keptah wanted to turn Invicta against each other, and test them to see how united they were.

So he confronted Dracaris weeks later and told him of his Three apprentices, and mentioned that one is an archer of Invicta. This was a lie Keptah made, he then gave a convincing story how he branded the archer with a mark that allows him to control the Invictan and then he would cause the Archer to turn on his Invictan comrades.(Keptah never marked Thorgard, this was a lie)

Disparate Times

The sky was obscured by a dense arboreal canopy; the stars and full moon, in turn, were largely obscured by thick cloud cover.

Beneath it all she lay. Still. Ears imagined as twin vessels into which liquid sound would pour. The soundscape clicked and popped with the rustle of foliage and howled with the frigid winds. Beasts stalked prey; the insects sang paeans to would-be mates. Alien noises in an alien place.

The soft rasp of slumbering bodies also could be heard, plaintive and oddly comforting.

The darkness was receding now, and she turned her head, peering over at the Mitran. He had promised to be up for the final watch, a promise now as ethereal as his dreams. Not that it mattered. Unused to the nighttime cacophony of the Cimmerian lowlands, Axun had laid awake for most of the night, drifting in and out of fitful slumber. She had woken the bald pale-skin at one point, only to find him sound asleep again when next she woke.

Strange Bedfellows

The river’s gentle pulse very nearly drowns out the small clacking of the prayer beads. Tk-tk-tk, they are chiding.  The Mitran – Cleric, more technically – intently regards the archer bathing there in shallows. She has gone under thrice now and for a third time she rises up from the water, head flung back and then forward, sunrays catching silver strands of riverwater thrown in lazy parabolas from her cropped dark hair.

((Some background... Keptah has returned and has begun terrorizing again... Members of the Order of the Silver Dragons have quarantined him in Silverar's Tower until they can find a way to exorcise Keptah from it's human host...  Cymera, a confused necromancer of the guild has come to pay him a visit... ))

 

[Cymera]: *whispers* keptah...

[Keptah]: **His face remains facing the wall.** "It's funny... Isn't it?"

[Cymera]: what is funny?

[Keptah]: "The way the world works..."

[Cymera]: umm... *feels a little nervous* i guess?

[Keptah]: "Such an amusing joke the way life is created... Like a disease the infection spreads.."

[Keptah]: "When the sun rose.... All my people were destroyed..."

[Cymera]: i did not know that

[Keptah]: "Why mine, when all others only receive joy and life?"

[Keptah]: "Such a cruel little joke."

A Necromancer's Tale (chapter 3)

Chymera relaxed stood alone outside the Serpent's Head Inn. She relaxed her mind and pictured her master's study. Breathing deeply, she uttered three words in the language of magic. Shadows surrounded her, carressing her body. A few moments later, she opened her eyes and found herself standing in front of her master's desk. He was bent over a large scroll. "Hello, young one," he said as he looked up at her, a look of pride on his face. "You have met my friend?"

"Yes, Master," she replied. "He has asked me to join the King's Guard, but I do not know if I am ready for such a task."

Chymera's picture

A Necromancer's Tale (chapter 2)

Over the next decade, Chymera studied every form of Necromancy and Alchemy under the guidance of Master Ghede. On her days off, she would roam the great city of Khemi. She would go to the Serpent's Head Inn to sample the wine and observe the various mercenaries that passed through on their adventures. They had the most intriguing tales! One day, a dark, robed man sitting at a table with one of these groups would not stop watching her. Finally as the man moved to leave, she walked up to him. "Why have you been watching me all night?"

The man smirked. "I have been watching you longer than this one night, Chymera."

A Necromancer's Tale

Chymera had always been a strange girl. Growing up in Budshur, she was the only daughter of a middle class merchant and his wife. She had no real friends because she was quiet and kept to herself. When she did venture out seeking companionship, other children found her a little odd. On Chymera’s sixth birthday, her father came home one day with a little puppy whom she named Eos. Eos became her one and only friend. They did everything together and were never apart.

 

The Hero (Part 2)

It was night, the very air was cold as the Icy Mountains and the sky above was black. The only source of light was the pale specks of stars and the full moon. The clan guards remained awake and ready at the gate which led to the forest where War-Chief Steel and his warriors marched through to greet the enemies’ blades with their own. The torches around the clan fences burned brightly, and all the villagers slept soundly with confidence that they were well protected... All but one, who always saw things in a grim yet all so true way.

The Hero (Part 1)

Thorgard lay against the large willow tree in a soundless sleep. The ground beneath him was slightly wet, and the grass was cold and frozen. Behind the tree he lay his head against was a rushing river which sparkled in the dim sunlight. The waters were pure and clear as crystal. The dirt road was ahead of him which led west to the huts in Conarch Village and to the east where the wilderness rested. The skies were grey and murky and the pale colorless sun was at the highest.

Young Thorgard was only 19 winters old, his muscular body was well toned and his flesh was pale. He was dressed in leather pants and a black wool tunic. His snow boots were slightly worn, and beside his sleeping body was a large axe and a long sword.

It was a grim time for everyone in the clan. They were soon to meet blades with the Clan Swiftfeather which long held a grudge against War-Cheif Steel, Thorgard's father.

Mitran Mythology

I wrote this in answer to a question on the Invicta forums. Mitrans are the most restricted morally; nice to know the boundaries expected.
I shall endeavour to keep this organised as firstly what is known from the books/ingame, secondly interpretations by players.


A
Mitran Mythology, what is known from books/ingame.


Mitra is the supreme deity, standing alone above all other divinities.
He has no pantheon of fellow deities but he does have saints, those who have displayed supremely his virtues during life. [How sainthood is conferred is unknown to me.] People swear by them, and some believe they work miracles.
He does not exist in his idols nor in animals in the world but is immanent, all around.
