[Actions 1418] Laria'rathi NStevens - Posted: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 00:33:13 GMT

Extreme effort will be made to explain how to integrate Celpali living practices into the Kel'ren'aie faith to those repulsed by last year's effort. The members of the church on Celpalar (human and Laria'rathi) and its colonies will also emphasize the superiority of our faith. Since the initial rush conversion was not successful, the members of the church and other Shakaari will work on long-term relationships with locals and local leaders, demonstrating to them how Kel'ren'aie is better than their ritual religion.

Action I

Strategic-External (2 of 2) Type: Conversion Actor: Prelate Le'noir Summary: Continue to actively seek out Celpali and convert them to believers in Kel'ren'aie. The focus will be narrowed to try to convert Celpalar leaders and influential people, in the hopes that they will then convert their followers and constituents.

Celpali are utterly repulsed by Kel'ren'aie - Celpali are not receptive 0 some are converted, some are driven away + a lot are converted ++ Kel'ren'aie is very well received and embraced by many of Celpalar +++ becomes dominant religion on Celpalar

The initial colonists are very pleased with their success. Now fortifications must continue to be built to keep out undesirables and protect the locals. A castle will be constructed for defense at each colony, using local resources as much as feasible. Special care will be used in Stone Isle, the colony with the ruins, to protect it. Divine protection of the fortifications will be implemented by the Church of Kel'ren'aie. A new organ of the church will be created; this will be composed of many templar and magi, led by a few guards and Sentry Moorgral. More farming towns will be built as we expand. Food supplies have been ample but we should save some for a possible bad harvest or some other mishap.

The War of Faith Jtsl - Posted: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 23:32:16 GMT

Sorry I should of sent this in last year.

Part One: The New Plan (year 1417)

Southern Forest

In great southern forest a cry rises from ancient ruins. Standing in the ruins is the Traitor, around him are the ruins of a once mighty fortress city. He stood there his robes are torne his faces and arms covered with wounds. He silently sent out his thoughts. "Ancient One."

"Yes mortal?" the voice said.

"You said the scepter would be here." The Traitor said accusingly.

"It was. It has been removed." The ancient once's voice eoched

"Were is it.?"

"I don't know. The Eerith have hidden it."

"But you control the Eerith."

"Not these one. The Eerith are beging to free themselfs, but these are the last of my worries. Because of your arrogence we have lost the Mirror." The voice said angrey.

"But with out the scepter how can we win. The plan has fallen apart?" The Traitor responded.

"Your plan may have failed but mien has not." the voice said smugly

"Your plan." The Traitor said his face draining of color. How could he have been so stuped. He had been played the fool. The Ancient One had another plan that he wished to achive.

"You know to much. If you dare run away from me I will kill you, or else Mir will catch you and hand you over to one to whom you betrayed even more then the Sorcerers. What will you do?" The voice said, the threat clearly there.

"I will do as you ask." The Traitors voice was no more then a wisper. "What do you plan to do?" Then the Ancient One told him, and his face whitened. He began to regreat his ambition...

Ruins of Myr-Kun

The Seeresses were asleep and as one they woke. They knew with out seeing that Sin-Alb was ready. They left the ten to discover that the home of Sin-Alb was moving and it was heading south east towards the land of the Midsea.

Kala stood there when she felt something take control of her body, and then she spoke in a voice not her own. "Children of Sin-Alb the time has come. We will revenge are murdered leader and the Seeresses. We shall destroy the land of the heathens. Follow Sin-Alb." Then the Sinari let out a great chear as the began to pake to leave.

An hour later the Sinari were on the move. Leaving behind them the only other bastion of Mirish culture and faith in ruins.

Many of the Seeresses of the Shanari have been killed, paving the way for the shamans of the old religion to re-assert their influence on the lives and politics of the Morvali people. The shamans still sit in the High Council of Corryn, and the ruling-matriarchs have remained true to the goddess Jaikosa, but much of the Morvali population worships the Shanari god Sin-Alb, threatening the hegemony of the Wandering Shamans. The Wandering Shamans have decided to undertake a massive re-conversion attempt by syncretizing the Shanari and Morvali faiths. The Wandering Shamans have declared Sin-Alb, to be the son-consort of Jaikosa, and will direct his worship.

As the rudimentary attempt last year was largely a failure, the High Council has decided to make a more concerted effort to improve the production of the lands north of Corryn. Workers will once again be conscripted from the neighboring clans, but workers loyal to the ruling matriarchs will also be brought in to advance the cause. In addition, fertility magicians from the Wandering Shamans will also help.

The War of Faith Jtsl - Posted: Sun, 23 Apr 2000 17:46:14 GMT

The War of Faith Part Two: The fall of Wyr.

Out of the North it came. Fear followed it as it traveled south. Darkness following it, a darkness that could destory the Qayiore. Its towers pierced the clouds. Its mist hiding its rocky base. Annayea once the vessels of Mirish conqest was know the vessel of Sin-Alb and his nomads.

The city of Wyr watched in horror. They had head the tails from Myr-Kun and Sarunor. The Sinari destoyed the army and then destoyed the city. They left no prisoners unless you converted to the worshiped of their heathen god. The people watched in horror.

(Sinari Force Good Wyr Force Fair + defenders Results: +1 (+1 +1 0 0) = +3 0 +1 (-1 -1 +1 +1 ) = +1 3 to 1 ratio)

The Sinari push past the defenders and enter the city. They quikly destroy all of the city and set up camp out side of the city. The citzen flee south towards the gathered army called the Western Defences

Talishara

The Warlord, Farcesa, Rease, and the Cedonian Generals look up at the commotion from outside. "What is going on out there?" The Warlord said as she stood up. Just then a sorcerer entered the tent out of breath. "What is it." The warlord demanded.

"The Oracle." He said trying to catch his breath. The Warlord taped her foot in impaticence. Finally the Socerer regained his breath. "The Oracle spoke."

"What did it say?" The Warlord said.

"She of the Isle and the Empire comes. Beware she comes." The Warlord started at him for a long moment. Then she turned to Facresa. "I though Sin-Alb was a He?"

"Last time I checked he was always betrayed as a he." Facresa said.

"Warlord." the sorcerer said inturupting. She turned to him. "We felt a precence in the Oracle. It was the same one that was in the Grand Hall when Facresa joined us."

"What can it mean." She said siting down.

Rease eyes glowed with amusment.

*****

Qayiore stands on the brink of war. From the once great and mystious city of Wyr the Sinari shall invaded were will they strike? The Army of the Western Defence wait at Talishara to see were the Sianri will invaded at. Qayiore holds it breath. For one wrong move could leave Qayiore in ruins.

0-1+1+1+(0+1-1+0)=+1 Success. The armies begin to gather. With multiple chains-of-command, there is a great deal of confusion and a significant number of details need to be sorted out (possibly requiring a consent roll to determine how efficiently the mixed armies will work together). With the exception of Reese, the eerith withdraw from training the Mir, deciding that, even though the training is not completed, there is no more time.

0-1+1+1-1+(+1-1+0+0)=0 Mixed results. While most nations contacted underestand the nature of the threats, they do not, necessarily share the Mirish concerns. The specific reaction of PS depends on the players but most societies are still content to wait and try to let the Mir fight their battles for them if possible.

-3+1-1+(-1-1+0+1)=-4 Severe failure. Having almost no idea where to begin the search, the sorcerers spend most of their time on fruitless investigation and wasted effort. As a result of the severity of the failure, the eerith significantly increase their presence amoung the seekers but provide no actual help in the search. If anything, the eerith presence seems to hinder the search rather than help it.

0-1+1+1-1+(0+1+0+0)=0 Marginal results. With all that is going on in Mir, the Archmage is simply too overextended to put sufficient energy into this attempt. His job is further complicated at this time by the presence of multiple forgien leaders and the turmoil of the times. It does seem that Eubatrosa may be more sucessful in this if he can use these forgien leaders to garner support, ie, by increasing his international standing during this period of continental crisis.

possiblities so that they can begin a search in earnest. Surprisingly,the eerith significantly increase their presence amoung the seekers but provide no actual help in the search. If anything, the eerith presence seems to hinder the search rather than help it but does serve to insure that the searches will be kept safe from most physical hardships and dangers when they will be forced to begin their search in hostile areas.

(Cedonia already did that.) The cedonian general are a little confused by the way the Mirish army works. Were Cedoians have many generals Mir has only two. The Warlord, and the Archmage. The big probel is not the armies but combining the diffrent technqiues together.

The many nations of Qaiyore head Mirs call to war and an almost universal decloration of war is declared on the Sinari. (The PC players can desided if their society declares war or not.) But that as far as it goes. They are contented in the war but thats all. Except Taltheran who has sent its armies to its border to defend agaisnt the Sianri.

The Sorcerer haveing already determend that it was in the south begin to tare the south apart. Acoponed by Eerith how on more then once saved them as the were going throught the southern forest from stay goblins often as not would always be under the Sorceres feet. They do narrow down the area though.

Eubratosa ever the diplomat seeing that the council is devided desided that the only way to gain more power is to forse his power on them. He begins to turn towards the foriegn leaders in Mir for support. Espesial the Celpalar military advisors.
