Casting my gaze over the city, the aftermath of the violence and butchery leave me saddened and concerned. The city needs to be soothed and calmed, and perhaps redirected from frustration and loneliness. Idly strumming my harp, I send its tones drifting on the breeze; a musical phrase and some words...

The young street rats gathered round old Silas, dirt and grime ground into their faces and clothes like a badge proclaiming their status, or lack of it, within the city. The older among them, the tweens, watched barely concealing their sneers. These lessons meant little to them; of what use were the...

Her steps echoing in the silence of the Forum, the burnished skinned deity strode purposely to the center of the square surrounded with mostly empty space. Her qaftan billowed behind her, the tiny beaded braids which hung out from her head wrapping paralleling the qaftan's snapping. In her arms she ...

I know, probably one of the last but...

Brother, do not the local ranchers and farmers deserve to make a living as well? Cost is well and good, but it leaves little opportunity for more than the bare essentials of survival, for both man and beast. While my own domain eases the strain of labor and routine of industry, it thrives when leisu...

Would that it was so simple, Sister. I would prefer my sacrifices be instruments set upon the Alta Cantabile , improving in musicality and playability as time progresses. But a sacrifice must leave the mortal world and be destroyed to have meaning; I will not have that done to an instrument which co...

Ah, my wonderful cartographer! Please take a well deserved bow!!

Now, if only all of the artisans of the city were as marvelous as you...

It is our pleasure to serve, Autarch.
I look forward to seeing for myself and to showing Blackhawk what his efforts on my behalf have earned.

Nyx, perhaps you are beginning to see the light. I still hold you will gain more flies with honey than with vinegar. I am not advocating being nice to those who do not choose to sacrifice to us, but to cause no harm to those who do nothing in particular to draw our ire. In so doing, I expect when th...

I apologize for my ineptitude in making my point clear. We are given our power through the sacrifices of the mortals . There is no other reason for our power on this world. Should one of us cause them harm, why would they choose to sacrifice to that deity, instead of to one who has done them no harm...

To whom much is given, much is expected, Nyx. How you choose to make use of your power is most definitely your own choice. Yet it is by the mortals choice through sacrifice which determines how powerful each of us will be. Are the citizens of the City only interested in power and benefit for each of...

Since we are being literary only in our game thread posts, a quick post here for those who may have already read Virelai's latest post in the game thread prior to this one to point out it has been edited.

...in case anyone should care.

And DPJ...

Ah, Nyx. You quote me accurately, yet it seems I misspoke. When I said "bestow no harm upon those we serve," I meant not only each of our own faithful, but all mortals throughout the lands. For in spite of what we seem, we are intertwined as the mortals are a fickle bunch who turn from one...

Such a response from you was not unexpected, Sister.

I will not necessarily claim that all will see the same Goodness in a thing as another, Sister. However... Enlightenment has been attained via the Music of the Spheres. Joy , as well as Sorrow , have been expressed in a chord well played and sung. Vision has been shared through physical and emotiona...

*bows to the Autarch and then the rest of the pantheon of gathered deities* I had requested a map be drawn up from two of my enlightened scribes. Both had agreed, but one cautioned his other missions may interfere. This appears to be the case. However, the other, known simply as Blackhawk , has comp...
