Leukippes, a Dekontar among the ScrollSworn, looked about her. This village, like so many others the Order was finding, was a sad place indeed. People working to provide enough for themselves to be choicer meals for *she shuddered at the though* vampires. Convinced their only reason for existing was...

Brother Velt, Lord of Nature. My apologies. The spirit which has transgressed into your demesne is a simple seeker of Knowledge. I shall ensure that in their wanderings no others will trespass so. Bespeak Me privately, and I am willing to discuss what manor of favor I may grant You as token of My si...

Nkol spends some time with the artisans here from Vinzhest, observing their work, offering some suggestions to improve their techniques, before joining the celebration of Love's people. The effusiveness and interpersonal closeness of Agape's folk are a change from home....neither better nor worse, s...

Nkol looks mildly interested in the news of this enigmatic visitor. His primary interest being works in stone and wood, he simply ponders that for a few seconds. Jee Dai, as ScrollSworn, is ever eager for new learning, and quickly scans the sky, hoping to see this woman, and speak to her. The remain...

Days pass aboard the ship, and Nkol watches the complexities of seagoing life with avid interest. Every line, sheet, knot, and word he seeks to capture, fascinated by this entire culture which he knew nothing of. Jee Dai and the Sworn take more than a passing interest, albeit not with the intensity ...

"We are a supply ship, not used to many passengers at once, but we will accommodate as we can, for the friendship between Love and Knowledge ," Jamson replied. Signaling Thea forward, he introduces her to the two. "First Mate Thea here will see to your needs, assigning berths and hav...

"You need but show us where to place these things, the necessary tools of our trades, for the voyage." said Nkol. Jee Dai added, "If a space upon the deck might be set aside for the Sworn to train. Room to move, for maintaining the body. Clear space, to meditate and exercise the mind....

A man of Serloth's people steps forward, executing a strange bow....left fingers tap over heart, right fingers tap forehead, then all fingertips come to lips, then arms spread wide as he bows. He has a strange insignia upon his tunic, some manner of esoteric tools, they seem. "I am Master Artif...

All across the northern half of Mekoth, the ScrollSworn, those dedicated to Knowledge, travel. Seekers of truth, they carry word of Serloth, the Lorekeeper, He Who Is Wisdom. They bear Knowledge. To farmers, they teach how to tell what manner of crop will grow best, what soils, when to change planti...

OK, so I've been doing a lot of reading about DOMA and DADT, and about what I feel is a grave civil rights injustice in the treatment of American citizens who do different things with their private parts. I'm baffled by the "GLBT groups". Doesn't make any sense. If you're a transgender (a...

Indeed, Your Vampires did coerce. They exerted their Will upon my man Roth, turning him against his companions and even compelling him to seek the life of My Prophet. In the strife which ensued, your vampire was slain, as was Roth. I assume that the vampires are most favored of Your people, just so ...

Their "food", nay, their "hapless victim" did not offer to nourish them. And then their memory of being attacked would be taken from them? You would destroy their Knowledge of the Truth of what transpired? This I cannot countenance. Those who, uncoerced, choose to offer themselve...

Your vampires were abroad, outside of the territory you claimed as your own, and they were draining the life on an innocent man. Those folk who worship you are certainly willing to give of their lifeblood, but those who do not yet worship you are another matter entirely. If the mountains are yours, ...

I am greatly aggreived. Nay, outraged. For while I thought it somewhat dubious for the God of Undeath's Prophet to claim so vast an area as the entirety of the central mountain range as his demesne, in the name of courtesy I was willing to accede to this. However, vampires have come forth out of the...

You may want to rethink having Legion as your defender....I mean, the Age of Apocalypse was pretty bad. Well, OK, it did have one HUGE thing going for it...Wolverine FINALLY got the girl. No angsting, just had her. Oh...wrong Legion? *ducks head abashedly* um....I would say something about my "...

*malefic glares all around*

one little mistake, yeesh.....

"I find Our sister Agape's suggestion an acceptable compromise."

--turning to face Agape, "Though I am called Wisdom, Your gentler nature has found a path which escaped My perception. My thanks to you, sister."

Lord Tepes, I cannot accede to Your demands. You ask favor of Myself and Agape, yet insist that We must accept what You see fit to offer in return. Perhaps another season We may discuss this further, but at this time We seem to be at an impasse.

My engineers would not merely sit back. They would need to be at the construction, for no one can fully predict all possibilities, nor nay plan cover all contingencies. True, My folk will work for but a season, yet without them Your wood and stone would remain as such. Perhaps I spoke unclearly...I ...

A handsome offer indeed, Lord Tepes. However, these examples you give are transitory things, whereas the Hall we shall build will endure long and long. Therefore, Our divine Sister Agape and Myself ask rather this in return for your Hall: that Our people be allowed to work mines in a small area of t...
