i mean...is Allfather saying we can never petition him for anything?
there must be another way, yes?

Are you a Goddess? Or a mortal that seeks to curry favors with her better? We may respect the AllFather's authority and power ... but our focus should be on our OWN glory!!O-gon-cho wrote: ...I will ask my followers to compose fervant psalms to his glory.

I bend my knee to NO ONE!
We are still in agreement in this, Merielle. I would ask a favor, though. Do not jump to conclusions. Combat is an unruly place, and mistakes will be made on BOTH sides. I fully expect that some of your people will attack mine. Instead of calling foul on you, I will ask whether or not this was intentional. I ask only that you do the same for me. My followers have explicit orders NOT to attack your people, but mistakes DO happen. I have almost been involved in two seperate wars because of such actions of my followers. I do NOT wish to be involved in a third.Xar wrote: And to Lord Adomorn I publicly say: I promised you I would not join Nor Yekith's forces if you waged war against him, as long as your men would not harm or attack my followers in Nor Pupae. The disappearance of Nor Yekith will cause many of his erstwhile followers to turn to one or another of the Khenstorn Gods for comfort and protection. My promise still stands: I will not get in your way as long as you and your followers, and any who ally with you, do not harm my people, including those who will convert now. Should any of my people be harmed, and reparations not be made, I will consider it an act of war and act accordingly.
I feel I should clarify to you and the Pantheon. I am NOT a God of War. I saw what happens when Conquest or War comes about. I do not walk that path anymore. I am the God of Combat. My soliders a guided by a Code of Honor that I am having spread to all corners of my lands. If you wish, I will PM you their new code.Xar wrote:I spoke of this with the God of War when he was still Justice - and I hope that the change has not shattered our agreement.
Perhaps in YOUR combat Asta, but in mine we are guided by our fundamental morals. There is also Order in battle, and Combat without Destruction. I ask now to NOT refer to me in such terms again.Astavyastataa Kadna wrote: In combat is CHAOS and DESTRUCTION ... I approve cousin, indeed I APPROVE! *bows*
I agree Bhakti, you and I of all people should know the truth of this.Stonemaybe wrote:Does the fact that a child is your child of destiny give you the right of possession? Those children that Nor kidnapped from your lands - would you have accepted his act if it turned out that one of them was his 'child of destiny'? I don't think you would have. If the child is born to a family of Melirelle's worshippers, the child is hers. Surely you would be wiser to seek alliance with Melirelle, rather than level accusations her way? As you know, I speak from experience. A child of destiny's heart is much more easily turned away from you than towards you.
Watch and ware godling ... your new Domain perhaps is giving you delusions of grandeur!! I do NOT take orders. You would do best to hold a civil tongue; lest you see your ability for combat substantially reduced!Lord Adomorn wrote: ...Perhaps in YOUR combat Asta, but in mine we are guided by our fundamental morals.

The next request will not be polite.
Astavyastataa Kadna wrote: Watch and ware godling ... your new Domain perhaps is giving you delusions of grandeur!! I do NOT take orders.
In the past I would not attack Nor despite his threats against me and the Pantheon. I am no longer held by such bonds.Astavyastataa Kadna wrote: You would do best to hold a civil tongue; lest you see your ability for combat substantially reduced!
Mithyaat Vam wrote:Bhakti and Melirelle WILL come to an agreement to either kill the child or each other fighting over the child, or some other solution to the situation.
you both have my blessings toward a peaceful solution.
In my previous two messages, I said the child is Melirelle's. The matter is resolved. Peacefully. I have already said I will take no action against her. I seriously doubt she will have Argothoth's requested assistance in raising the child to be my greatest enemy, but she is free to do so on her own. Aside from that one thing, she is getting exactly what she wanted. But now, the Pantheon knows what she did and is attempting to do, and she knows that all of you know. That was the only thing I had any hope of achieving.Lord Adomorn wrote:I agree Bhakti, you and I of all people should know the truth of this.Undine wrote:Bhakti:

I was only trying to make sure she was not able to change the conversation from the topic of my child of destiny - which is how I began this "conversation" (Although I did not begin it by accusing her of anything. I merely stated what Argothoth told me. It was possible that Argothoth misunderstood whatever messages Melirelle sent him regarding the child, or that he was lying to me about it.) - to Argothoth's actions and his "betrayal" of Nor Yekith. To answer that...Maeror wrote:Bhakti, the lines you are quoting here are referring not to the child but to the actions of Argothoth and whether or not you knew of his actions, a question I am increasingly wondering about myself, since you are so adamantly ignoring it.
Yes. Yes you may.O-gon-cho wrote::::raised eyebrows:::Tarnished Sword wrote:Well, I am glad to see that I am not hated the moment I set foot in to exsistance, that's the last thing I need is the monkey the size of a mountain on my back.
I have already welcomed you, Moxinomal, may I also call you Mox?
One of your's, sadly. One who had to watch their family die twice would be hard to keep under the your light.But as far as hating you as soon as you arrive, that may depend on how you answer a few questions I have.
Tell me, is this mine, Astavyastataa Kadna's or Simjen's follower you have usurped? As far as I know, there are no other sentient beings on Immeril other than our followers.Tarnished Sword wrote:On the continent of Immeril, set within a valley between two looming and craggy peaks sat a small cottage.
Why throw myself in the fray off the bat? Perhaps someone is contesting for the domains I have?Tarnished Sword wrote:"All you have to do is go forth in to this world of chaos and spread my word.”
Where on Immeril are your lands? We already have areas in contention, why not join in the fray?
Is this one of Astavyastataa Kadna's followers then? I know of no mountains in his lands. But as his are the only habitable lands of Immeril that was effected by the mutation wave, if the land has become dangerous and chaotic it must be there.
Talking more? Ohhh goody! I so do enjoy pleasant conversations.:::however, I am also fatigued, and may be reading the whole thing wrong:::
Answer my questions satisfactorily, Moxinomal and I will still welcome you gladly. Confirm my worst fears, and we may have to talk more.
In the name of the AllFather, who ever said that be undead means pain? Who ever said that it is a "bad" thing?Melirelle wrote:If you want me to prove I have no evil intent, then I request you judge the God of the Undead first, for the crime he has performed and the pain he has visited upon countless souls in Eiran.
Well, since you said "please."Astavyastataa Kadna wrote:Bahkti, I am the God of CHAOS ... but even I am weary of the CHAOTIC thoughts of your so called mind and the cacophony of your whining!!
Please cease IMMEDIATELY!!
