The snow clung to the fiery curls of the man's beard like the most tenacious burrs or brambles.  The blue paint on his face had long since cracked and flaked to be nearly unrecognizable.  Had it once been a bird?  Hard to tell.  His thick furs held much of the winter's offal as did his gloved hands and large scabbard.  As he walked south through the swirling blizzard, he half hoped one woman had moved on and forgotten him... and half hoped she would be waiting to give him the worst tounge lashing he'd ever recieved...   A small smile quirked the corner of his mouth, and he trudged ever south... back toward civilization...

Next Wednesday, November 11th, the web server will come down in the morning for the installation of a new operating system.  If everything goes as expected, I plan for the site to be back up by noon.  I'll be working to backup everything over the next week, but you should likely go ahead and back up anything truly precious to you (if you don't already have a copy somewhere).  I fully expect everything to come back up as you see it now, but I don't want anyone to lose their creativity because of a technical error.

I plan to lock down RP-Haven during the day Tuesday so I can back up the database without people adding blogs and updating things, etc.

If you have any questions, reply here.

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?

The Stygian High Council will convene in Nakeset Village to make preparations for war.  All high priests of recognized noble houses are asked to represent.

Satet-Ka

High Priest of Set

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.

*** 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..."

"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.))

The second portion of the quest for the body of Amun Ra will kick off tonight.  There are over 50 people invovled now in a very unstructured format.  Information needs to be sought out in RP.

Neverlin, Zinfi, Claudina and a few other loyal servants of Stygia have gone in search of a holy temple in search of the ancient relic.  Please contact neverlin IC if you want to be involved.  He can be found in local brothels or abusing foriengers in his Khemi based lab. :) 

Time frames are approximate.  Rez is discouraged.  Respect is important.  This is just a kickoff and not a completion of the event.  It may last for days depending on the success of the players or never be completed.

))

((I was swamped at work.  I wanted to write a better IC description for the events on Sunday but I ran out of time.  The event will continue tonight for Keptahs group heading into deep southern stygian in search of the phallus of Amun Ra.  It has been rumored that the relic they seek is used by the cult of Ajujo in the southern most temples of the country.  Same rules of respect apply as before.  Look forward to any and all RP partcipation.

The Styxx....

Beautiful.....  the golden eddies flowing with the faintest of reddened hues.

"I missed you Satet-ka...why did you leave us?" said the fair skinned beauty cradling his broken body.

The sky was bluer then he had remembered it.  The heat rising from the desert danced playfully with the palms mirrored upon the waters edge.

It was not the seagull picking at his ear that had awoken me.  It was not the gnashing of bone against bone in his side that brought me back.  At first it was simply the distinct smell of the Styx.  How can one describe the smell of this the oldest of mothers veins?  Something like a decaying honeycomb....sweet...musky...giving everything and yet surrendering to the lust life has for all that Set creates.  Ambrosia....mana of Set himself/

I love you man!!

Everyone, is this ok if I tell Satetka this? I mean this in a non sexual way. I just want him to know, WELCOME BACK BUD!

The darkness embraced her warmly. The moon was high, full.
 
It was the fifth turning.

The falling leaves brushed against her legs, a light tickling. She smiled at the sensation. The air was crisp, the scent of the trees, and wild grasses filled the air. She liked these new boots, it had taken time to make, but the effort had paid off. The sticks could not break through as easily.

She only moved by night now. Sometimes, at the beginning, she had watched those she loved. Giggling to herself, as the “guards” had no idea she was there. Lurking in the tall grasses, curled up in a tree. All to soon though, it became to painful to stay. They had become her family, hearing their laughter. The familiar bickering. Then, all to soon, she heard them calling for her.

It was to dangerous.

[Agatone]: You have secrets

[Cymera]: who said that?

[Cymera]: *looks around*

[Agatone]: go behind the Inn, we will speak

[Cymera]: *is curious*

((She goes behind the inn and sees Agatone standing in the bushes))

[Cymera]: you! *she spits*

[Agatone]: I do not wish to produce your secret to all..if you wish for me to keep those that already know *smiles at her* Quiet..

Thursday Nights at Tesso is a weekly roleplaying event hosted by Invicta in Epic Tesso. All are invited to enjoy and pvp is encouraged, but we do ask that those who are interested solely in pvp to please avoid disrupting the event. We'd love to see some fights, but we don't want the whole event turning into one mass combat, please.

If you do wish to bring some PvP to the event, please contact Aurelius or Kemena prior to the event. That'll give us the opportunity to coordinate with you and ensure folks have some time to relax before the fighting starts.

Contact Kemena, Aureleus, Hrothgard, Tereska, Kaper or Khari for further information.

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."

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."

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.

That's the link! :D Please post comments there and tell me what you think! Cheers! ^_^

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.
