It appears that Eclipse (or at least three members) and Sunrise (or at least three members) have declared WAR against L ife. I call upon Justice to rule against them. And I call for Vengeance against them which is my right! Those of you who by your actions have declared yourself my enemy; destroy m...

You are not the one who should be in a position to become angry, Goddess of Earth. It is true, you have done nothing in the past, but now you have deliberately destroyed two cities under the protection of members of the Sunrise Court. It is we who should have reached the end of our tolerance for you.

Forgive me if I do not tread kindly with my words, but I do not take the murder of the inhabitants of two cities lightly. I am not atfault for this matter of poor timing. No sooner had I learned of this crack than you performed your reshaping; my people, who sailed from Ramath, were left with little...

Was it not your followers that crusaded against mine? And you who said you would deal with them without my help? I see that their crusade has indeed ended, and so I am thankful; my own fanatics have been given other tasks to occupy their attention. So I must confess that I am at a loss to understand...

There is a matter of grave importance that I must bring before you all. Shortly before the Goddess of Earth's reckless reshaping of the continent of Halym, some of those that follow Peace discovered that there is a crack in the icewall near to where Ramath stood. The crack was only small, but who kn...

Do you think that one must know one has Peace in order to be safe from the evils of War? It is not the knowledge of Peace that I desire, but its fact.

Zephyr, your argument is futile. You say yourself: they would kill whomever they find sufficient justification to do so. If that is so, and those that kill believe their reason is sufficient, then you shall not convince them otherwise. Nor shall they convince you to set aside your own reason. Such c...

Might you give an example so I may respond? I am unsure what you mean specifically. I have given them. You claim that the members of the Eclipse are strong, yet you yourself are weak. You claim that others not in your alliance are deluded and bloodthirsty, when there those among your own number who...

I hold nothing against my allies, and they hold nothing against me. In a world of hostile intentions for little apparent reason, is it foolish to find common ground? You're first interactions with me Bel, and I doubt that this tone implies wishing to find peace with me. Is it truly surprising that ...

How curious, the selection of those who represent your mighty alliance. Perhaps your fellows in the shadows are wise to remain there. The Eclipse claims that the Courts are filled with deluded gods, yet look upon their own number: the Void denies the very existence of its vaunted allies; the Serpent...

Dust gathered on spires and steeples; stone weathers and crumbles. An older city still. A city built upon the ruins of ancient malice. A shadow haunts this place. Echo of long dead forces. The darkened streets twist upon themselves, winding up and around the sides of old stone hills. The buildings a...

The Parable of the Two Gods There came a time when two gods fought a great battle, and each threw his strength upon the other with great abandon; yet the gods were evenly matched, and neither could land a blow upon the other, for both were of great skill with weapons. And so their battle raged acro...

"In the name of the Great God, I have brought you Peace!" The Prophet raised up his arms and spread his wings as he proclaimed his Lord's will for all to hear. He strode down the centre of the street, tall buildings on either side of him. "Give yourselves into the grace of the Great L...

"I mean the cities He claims, the lands belonging to those cities, and the Fallen Ones' mountain home. Wherever the Great Lord's chosen people rule."


[OOC: that would be pretty much just the cities, at the moment. Don't have much else to rule, yet.]

"Very well. We will agree to overlook this incident so long as you remove any of your worshippers from the lands under the Great Lord's care, and know that they will no longer be welcome among His people. Do you agree with this arrangement?"

"'Lessons'--Those we are quite capable of giving ourselves. As for diseases, why, is that not the very reason your Yekith chose to attack? That we are free from such imperfections--free from your touch. The mortals-- pah --they are chaff. They are weak--they die. Unfortunate as it may be, it is...

"A preacher of the Great Lord has been slain. Does Rothmog wish to make recompense for the actions of his servant?"

We are born to the world from nothingness. Full-formed we emerge, gasping into the knowledge of our own existence. We enter from nothing and we end in nothing, and we leave no legacy behind us. It is left to us to find meaning in what lies between. So it is with the world. As we are summoned, so was...

Such contest can prove nothing, Lord of Life. Conflict is the recourse of the weak to exert their will upon their fellows and so fool themselves that they are strong. Nothing will be solved in such a manner.

Yet these demands, Bel, are being made by a goddess of your own court. Her demands are no less than her adversary's yet according to members of your own court, she has absolute right and needs to make no negotiations - a completely inequitable situation. Where is your response to hers? It is not th...
