RUNE: *steps inside softly and smiles at the small gathering as he recognizes the faces*
FATHER CLAUDE: *a gentle smile* Hello *to Rune* and welcome
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *waves and grins at rune*
MIRIEL HANA: *shuffles to the side, to make space for Cati*
TA’ANCORINA: *nods and smiles to Cat*
RUNE: *bows respectful before entering the circle of pillars*
TA’ANCORINA: Pelail Rune *nods and smiles to him*
FATHER CLAUDE: ahh *a pleased look*
FATHER CLAUDE: then it must be time for introductions
RUNE: *smiles bright to all* hello Corina
RUNE: *nods to Fatehr Claude*
FATHER CLAUDE: I am Father Claude, and this is Lord Edding of Queen Adathi's court
LORD EDDING: *a short nod*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: ooh!
TA’ANCORINA: *smiles to them both*
TA’ANCORINA: *stands*
TA’ANCORINA: I am Ta'Ancorina, but most call me Corina
LORD EDDING: *stands with a stoney expression, glances to each appraisingly*
FATHER CLAUDE: Well met, sister *his tone is gentle and happy*
TA’ANCORINA: Thank you Father *returns his smile*
FATHER CLAUDE: Please, Rune *gestures to the untaken log*
THIENNA: I am very happy to meet you Corina, I am Thienna Hurst
RUNE: *studies Lord Eddings a moment and then looks to Corina with a smile.. then looks to father claude and nods* and I am Rune Amanta
MIRIEL HANA: Well met. *nods in turn to Ta'Ancorina* Miriel Xilo, I come as a Sentinel of this city.
TA’ANCORINA: It is a pleasure to meet you also Thienna *smiles warmly to her*
RUNE: *smiles slight to Thienna and nods to her*
LORD EDDING: *in a deep rich voice* and she remains at my request
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: pelail *smiles* Catrionae Raykeeshen, Avenger of Dru'El
TA’ANCORINA: Well met Miriel, are there many Avariels serving as sentinels here?
MIRIEL HANA: *bows her head at the armoured Avariel*
RUNE: *smiles and nods to Miriel*
FATHER CLAUDE: well met indeed *inclines his head to Catri a moment*
MIRIEL HANA: - A fair number. Rune was one of them for a good many years.
FATHER CLAUDE: perhaps to the business at hand
RUNE: *nods to Miriel and looks to Corina* yes.. a number of the settlers in Apara Thorpe are
MIRIEL HANA: *ears twitch; the numerous ear-rings jingle*
FATHER CLAUDE: Rune, it is my sincere hope to ease your pain this day
RUNE: Nice to see you again Cati. *smiles and says softly to her*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *smiles warmly at rune*
FATHER CLAUDE: it was through divine happenstance that I came upon your friend Thienna in Elsyia and she was able to tell me some of your troubles and direct me to your note
RUNE: *tilts his head as he looks at Father Claude*
FATHER CLAUDE: Let me start by reassuring everyone that we, Avariels, are not being hunted by the Dragonari...at least, not on this plane, as for any other plane I could not tell you
TA’ANCORINA: *_listens carefully*
RUNE: *looks curiously at him as he listens*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *raises her eyebrows*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li?
FATHER CLAUDE: further more and of much more importance to my view of the world, Cha'reth has not forsaken any one
RUNE: *raises a brow*
FATHER CLAUDE: no *very seriously to Catri*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: huh
RUNE: *raises a brow again at the last*
FATHER CLAUDE: the Church is active in sending aid to Grantir
FATHER CLAUDE: lastly
FATHER CLAUDE: *looks to the armored Avariel*
LORD EDDING: Her Majisty the Queen Adathi, the gods bless her name, is not hidden from the Dragonari
RUNE: *listens with a calm curious expression*
LORD EDDING: she is kept safe and out of any public view as are most of those cosest to her, rumors of her cowardess *his body tightens* are unwelcome
FATHER CLAUDE: please, My Lord
RUNE: *looks to Lord eddings and studies him again as he listens*
FATHER CLAUDE: we are in a place of peace
LORD EDDING: *his lips form a single thin line*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm...
FATHER CLAUDE: now then *smiles peacefully to the group* questions?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *raises hand*
FATHER CLAUDE: yes my dear?
RUNE: I have many..
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: well
RUNE: *lookst to Cati*
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods in aknowledgement of Rune's statement*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i li follow cha'reth obviously, and while i'm glad the queen is safe i li really know her and all
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: so *shrugs*...but the first bit...
LORD EDDING: *tightly* few do
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i've been murdered once and threatened multiple times
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: by angadarians and by dragonari
RUNE: *nods* I have been hunted by Drangonari many times.
FATHER CLAUDE: I am not saying there are not rogue Dragonari who still bear us ill intent
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: well toova
FATHER CLAUDE: there are, just as there are Avariel who have aided the Shaahesk
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i was assasinated by the high priestess of angadar
RUNE: Why do you say the Drangonari of Grantir do not hunt us? Is it just because of the current war with Drotid?
FATHER CLAUDE: the Angadarian church is currently in a dreadful state, but one can only assume that was brought mostly upon themselves
FATHER CLAUDE: *gently to rune* they do not hunt us, brother
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: and the people that threatened me were old ones...from grantir. i was told the only reason they were letting me live is because they were looking for aid from elysia
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: or they would rip my wings off
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: this was the official embassyage people
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li that i can't handle it mind you *grins*
THIENNA: *waits patiently*
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods sadly*
RUNE: I do not believe you Father .. with all resspect
FATHER CLAUDE: there is no respect in your words, child, or your manner
RUNE: How do you believe this to be the case? *tilts head*
FATHER CLAUDE: *looks to Catri* all I can tell you is that things have sense changed
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: well toova...i hope so
FATHER CLAUDE: the last envoy to Elysia held new faces
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *shrugs* they come after me and they have a lot of problems
FATHER CLAUDE: and a letter of apology
FATHER CLAUDE: *small smile to Catri*
FATHER CLAUDE: *looks to Rune* you are running from a shadow *his tone is sad and gentle*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *winks at father claude*
RUNE: *looks to Lord Eddings* Did they send official word to the Queen of this?
LORD EDDING: Did who send official word to the Queen?
RUNE: Let me rephrase...
RUNE: Has the nation of Grantir made any official decloration of their position regarding the Avariel?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: ooh! that would be toova
LORD EDDING: Some time ago, yes
RUNE: And the Queen heard of this?
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] pfft...i missed it
LORD EDDING: yes
RUNE: And ohter nations heard of this?
LORD EDDING: I can not speak for any nation
RUNE: How was it made publically?
RUNE: I have heard nothing.
LORD EDDING: I do not know that it was
MIRIEL HANA: *tilts head slightly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm....well
FATHER CLAUDE: some few were told
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i think the administrators in blandenberg know
RUNE: Oh.. I htought you just said there was a public decloration.
FATHER CLAUDE: from what I understand, there was not a tavern announcement
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i only heard something because i work in the building, fen?
LORD EDDING: I said there was an official decloration, do not try and put your paranoid words into my mouth
FATHER CLAUDE: please, my Lord Eddings
RUNE: *looks sharply at Eddings briefly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: hey...
LORD EDDING: *glowers, rests a hand on the jeweled pommel of a longsword*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li any of that now
TA’ANCORINA: *sighs*
RUNE: *looks astonished at him*
FATHER CLAUDE: *takes a long breath*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: most of us were raised to think dragonari were our enemies, they hated us!
MIRIEL HANA: *puts her hand on Cati's shoulder, face straight*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: my oovu fought them!
FATHER CLAUDE: My Lord, perhaps we have taken too much of your time
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li fight amongst ourselves!
RUNE: wait...
LORD EDDING: no, Claude, I will remain
FATHER CLAUDE: as you wish
FATHER CLAUDE: *says a short prayer*
RUNE: *looks to Eddings* may I ask Lord...
TA’ANCORINA: *bows her head in reverence*
RUNE: *stops and bows his head*
FATHER CLAUDE: *lets out a long cleansing breath* shayla
FATHER CLAUDE: *seems deeply peaceful once again*
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] dotah hoovaire *smiles at miriel*
LORD EDDING: *relaxes a bit, his hand going back to his side and away from the sword*
MIRIEL HANA: *casts a small smile at Cati*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: pfft...we're all family here, fen?
RUNE: *raises his head and opens his eyes*
LORD EDDING: *glances at Catri* no
RUNE: *looks back to Eddings*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li?
RUNE: Lord Eddings...
LORD EDDING: Edding
RUNE: It has been many years since I saw the Queen here in Visimontium.. is she well?
LORD EDDING: yes
RUNE: and her children?
LORD EDDING: what is your point?
RUNE: *blinks* .... I merely wish to know how she is...
RUNE: It was right here in this temple when I saw her last.
LORD EDDING: she is safe
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *rolls her eyes*
RUNE: *smiles to himself slight as he looks thoughtful*
RUNE: Good *nods respectful to Eddng*
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] he nees to smoke more mellow
LORD EDDING: *nods in return...seeming to have reached an understanding*
RUNE: Do you have any idea if she ever received my many letters? *to Edding*
RUNE: *looks around for Isande briefly*
LORD EDDING: *his expression softens slightly* most likely she has not
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *wrinkles nose* pfft
RUNE: I mean...
LORD EDDING: for quite some time she received no correspondence
RUNE: I know she recieved many of them early on but...
FATHER CLAUDE: *glances at the Lord a moment*
RUNE: *nods* Why?
FATHER CLAUDE: then there was a traitor *sadly*
TA’ANCORINA: *glances around calmly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen?
LORD EDDING: *stiffens again*
LORD EDDING: yes *darkly*
FATHER CLAUDE: working for Drotid
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i volunteer to shoot
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *grins at lord edding*
LORD EDDING: a small sect, all *frowns at Claude* all have been dealt with
FATHER CLAUDE: *sighs sadly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: toova!
FATHER CLAUDE: *slowly shakes his head*
MIRIEL HANA: *raises hand slightly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: ...*thinks a moment*...
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods to Miriel*
THIENNA: *glances a moment at the Father*
MIRIEL HANA: A question if I may.
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] fek...i hope was li ril
FATHER CLAUDE: of course
MIRIEL HANA: Would it not be beneficial to request a public announcement, since an official decree has already been sent to those in authority? - Concerning Grantir's stance on the Avariel, that is.
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: ooh! toova point!
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods agreement*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: was toova to send word to blandenberg when we declared...but
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: all li know it
LORD EDDING: *clears his throat*
TA’ANCORINA: *looks to Lord Edding*
LORD EDDING: Let us be more specific about what was said
RUNE: *listens*
MIRIEL HANA: Please. *nods stiffly*
LORD EDDING: They no longer declair war on us or call for our extermination
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *wrinkles nose*
LORD EDDING: They strongly encourage their fellows not to harm Avariel outside of Grantir
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: still li happy about their wings fen *giggles*
RUNE: *glances at Cati and then back to Edding*
LORD EDDING: *faint twitch of a smile* no, I expect they are not *to Catri*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *snickers*
RUNE: and does the queen believe this?
LORD EDDING: I would suggest caution around older Dragonari and I would not attempt to vacation in Grantir
LORD EDDING: yes, she does
FATHER CLAUDE: Hate breeds hate, my friends
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: hmm...
FATHER CLAUDE: fear feeds on itself to grow
RUNE: This is wonderful news indeed.. *looks to Father Claude*
FATHER CLAUDE: I am told that there are members of le'Nofaythen who have actively tried to restart the war with M'Chek
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: what!!!?
FATHER CLAUDE: and likewise members of the Blackhawks who have tried the same
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm....
THIENNA: Rumors... Cati
TA’ANCORINA: *sadly* For some old hatred is hard to get over
RUNE: *looks confused*
FATHER CLAUDE: unfortunately, they are not idl rumors
FATHER CLAUDE: *idle
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i'm li in the army
MIRIEL HANA: *clutches to the two silver rings stringed to her necklace*
FATHER CLAUDE: not so long ago a member of le'Nofaythen took part in the mass murder of hundreds if not thousands in M'Chek
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *thinks*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen?
FATHER CLAUDE: she was consequently turned over to their authorities...and viciously slaughtered *makes a holy gesture*
RUNE: *looks to Lord Eddings* What is the Queen planning to do? ... since she heard the news from Grantir?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: ooh!!! was when i was a leafling *giggles*
MIRIEL HANA: *turns to Cati quietly*
FATHER CLAUDE: more recently le'Nofaythen were being actively hunted along the southern border
FATHER CLAUDE: I mention these tragic events to give perspective
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] we long before i was in training. ... but fen i agree
FATHER CLAUDE: would we say M'Chekians still hunt those of T'Nanshi?
FATHER CLAUDE: or that the Elves hunt the humans?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *thinks* li, li really
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i mean....i'm in a position to see it fen?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: and there are some...but li all
FATHER CLAUDE: so you are *nods*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: oh *grins* i'm liason to blandenberg, if li one knew
FATHER CLAUDE: exactly, there are...for lack of a better way to say it... bad apples
FATHER CLAUDE: there are those of us, of Avariels, who would kill any Dragonari they saw
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li rali!!
FATHER CLAUDE: *his tone and expression are deeply sad*
FATHER CLAUDE: and there are those Dragonari who will kill Avariel
TA’ANCORINA: And there are some who only kill in defense of themselves or others
LORD EDDING: *slow nod*
MIRIEL HANA: *glances to Cati startled, more by her tone than anything*
RUNE: &*nods to Corina*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: when i first left silverfall...
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i was...uhm...*bites lip*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: engaged....to an avariel named thradril rastille
RUNE: *looks back to Lord Eddings* Lets say we choose to believe the Drangonari for now.. and that they are not trying to deceive us... What will the Queen do next?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: he...*looks a little ashamed* almost converted to angadar
TA’ANCORINA: *shakes her head sadly*
FATHER CLAUDE: *gives Catri a kind and sympathetic look*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *wrinkles nose*
LORD EDDING: remain safe
RUNE: *blinks*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm...well fen
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: what about the rest of us
RUNE: *nods* What would she have the rest of us do?
LORD EDDING: fight the Shaahesk, drive them back
RUNE: *blinks again*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *rolls her eyes* duh
LORD EDDING: *glances to Catri* he asked
RUNE: *looks surprised*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: shaahesk are a menace to everyone
RUNE: huh
RUNE: But.. we...
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li dragonari, li elves, li ....they try to enslave everyone
MIRIEL HANA: *nods to Cati*
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods sad agreement*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *mumbles about filthy shaahesk and nasty dreams*
FATHER CLAUDE: *sighs, his wings drooping*
RUNE: We have no order... we have no unity.. we are not a people of unity right now...
LORD EDDING: speak for yourself
RUNE: We have no leadership.
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *looks hard at lord edding*
RUNE: I speak for many of us that I have seen.
LORD EDDING: I see a member of the Blue Order, a Healer of Cha'reth, a Priest of Cha'reth, and an Avenger...I do not see people without direction and guidance
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: pfft
RUNE: *rolls eyes*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: are we supposed to have a queen?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: and like...be a nation or something...?
RUNE: We have no nation right now! *raises hsi voice more*
LORD EDDING: no
LORD EDDING: and so long as you drive people with fear and rumor and your own paranoia you will not
RUNE: or if YOU do it is a very secret one that is not serving many of us.
RUNE: *looks more irritated*
LORD EDDING: Avenger, what Nation do you represent?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: Blandenberg
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *forcefully*
RUNE: *looks to Edding* I seek to sserve our kind.
LORD EDDING: and ultimately who or what do you serve?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: Dru'El
RUNE: to offer them protection and comfort.
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *also forcefully*
LORD EDDING: *ignores him, speaking to Catri* and you wish an Avariel nation so you can serve a queen?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i want avariel to prosper and grow...i want to know that we are li forgotten
THIENNA: *leans back and studies the ceiling...*
LORD EDDING: forgotten by whom?
FATHER CLAUDE: *quietly* we are not forgotten
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: by anyone
TA’ANCORINA: Do you feel forgotten?
FATHER CLAUDE: that's a bit silly, my child *gently to Catri*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *shrugs* most people see me as nanshi...and for me that's ok
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: for so long there were li avariel babies, fen?
FATHER CLAUDE: *smiles faintly* you think their acceptance of you means they do not see your wings?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i just want our cousins to be happy
LORD EDDING: *snorts*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: if they are smart, they li care *grins at the father*
FATHER CLAUDE: exactly
FATHER CLAUDE: so, tell me, you would have all nations know of our plight and how it was overcome?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: we have a toova story fen?
TA’ANCORINA: ((brb))
FATHER CLAUDE: so we do, but no better than others
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li?
FATHER CLAUDE: *gentle smile* no
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: have the elves ever face extinction?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: or humans?
FATHER CLAUDE: is that the only thing that matters?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *shrugs* li
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: but we should be proud of who we are, fen?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i am proud to be avariel...broken wings and all
FATHER CLAUDE: are we the only race to ever face that?...li, thankfully we, unlike many others, have overcome with His grace
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *grins* fen
FATHER CLAUDE: *faint frown* your wings are not broken
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li?
FATHER CLAUDE: no, you may not fly but they are beautiful
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods some to Thienna*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: oovu said we once could fly..
FATHER CLAUDE: *speaks quietly to Thienna a moment*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li matters...i am proud of my heritage, fen? but i am li against moving forward. to where ever that may lea
RUNE: //afk a min
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *lead
FATHER CLAUDE: *slight nod*
TA’ANCORINA: ((back))
TA’ANCORINA: What do you mean by moving forward?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm...
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i li follow cha'reth
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i li live in galdos
FATHER CLAUDE: inhospitable place
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i li think it matters too much who lives where *giggles at the father*
THIENNA: *coughs*
TA’ANCORINA: I never said one has to follow Cha'reth to move forward, I was just interested in what you mean by it?
FATHER CLAUDE: well it is *to Thienna a bit apologeticly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i think...*looks at all of them* all of us are free
TA’ANCORINA: *smiles*
RUNE: *nods to Cati and smiles* indeed
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: and that...we should celebrate
FATHER CLAUDE: we are
FATHER CLAUDE: and we should
MIRIEL HANA: *hints at a smile*
THIENNA: Rune, Father, may I bring this back to the subject at hand?
FATHER CLAUDE: of course *smiles to Thienna*
RUNE: *nods to Thienna* yes.. please.. I have many questions still
TA’ANCORINA: *looks to Thienna*
TA’ANCORINA: *looks to Rune*
THIENNA: Rune... I have travelled to Arkaz, and to various other places along the Infinite Staircase, and I understand how deeply you have commited yourself to these plans.
RUNE: *nods to her slight as he listens*
THIENNA: Now we know that Grantir and the Drangonari are no longer a direct and confrontational threat,
MIRIEL HANA: *cups her chin in her hand*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *giggles* watch out for amonien
RUNE: *listens patiently*
THIENNA: *continues through the interruption* The offer you make of a seperate island away from Avlis
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] true. i never saw amand treat avariel badly. but that was before cati
FATHER CLAUDE: *absently his hand moves to hold his holy symbol*
THIENNA: Are you determined to see it through?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm...
RUNE: *looks to Thienna with a kind expression and then to Father Claude and Lord Edding* May I propose something...
RUNE: ?
FATHER CLAUDE: *holds up a hand to Catri*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *bites her tongue and sites on her hands*
FATHER CLAUDE: of course
TA’ANCORINA: *looks from Rune to the Father*
RUNE: *looks to Thienna* I would like to and I'll tell you why...
FATHER CLAUDE: *looks pained*
THIENNA: *nods, listening*
MIRIEL HANA: *brushes a lock of white hair off her eyes*
RUNE: I'm still paranoid as Lord Edding says I suppose, but I have become that way over years of fighting against Angadar and his faithful...
RUNE: I still do not trust the Drangonari nor their god of deception...
FATHER CLAUDE: *quietly* not all Dragonari follow Angadar
RUNE: this is great news however, and I hope they mean wha they say...
RUNE: *nods to Claude*
RUNE: *continues*
RUNE: We still must fear the faithful of Angadar...
FATHER CLAUDE: *gently* no
FATHER CLAUDE: we don't
RUNE: *tilts his head*
FATHER CLAUDE: not any more than we must fear the followers of Maleki
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: pfft...shoot em
FATHER CLAUDE: or Evrak
MIRIEL HANA: *nods lightly* There should be no fear, Rune.
RUNE: has the Church of Angadar indicated that they no longer seek our downfall?
FATHER CLAUDE: they seek everyone's downfall
TA’ANCORINA: *frowns sadly*
RUNE: *chuckles soft and nods to Claude* okay... *continues*
FATHER CLAUDE: we are not unique or even specail to them
LORD EDDING: for some of them we are
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen? except for the odd twit?
RUNE: umm... Angadar hates us.
FATHER CLAUDE: well, yes, but he hates Andrinor a lot more
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *snickers*
RUNE: But he already destroyed our god.
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] he must really hate me and theinna then!
FATHER CLAUDE: a very very long time ago, Rune *kindly*
FATHER CLAUDE: and we have a new god
FATHER CLAUDE: Cha'reth loves us
RUNE: or the god that some of us followed before.
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm...
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *grins at the father*
FATHER CLAUDE: a moment, my dear *with a small smile of understanding to Cati*
RUNE: *continues* if I may...
TA’ANCORINA: *smiles happily* Fen He does
FATHER CLAUDE: please do
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] pfft...dru'el was toova enough for cha'reth
RUNE: as I am still leary to believe Angadars Drangonari of Grantir.. I would still propose to set up a small settlement for some of the Avariel on this other land that I have live ...
RUNE: *lived
FATHER CLAUDE: no one can stop you or anyone else from leaving
RUNE: just as a protection in case they decide to change their minds.
FATHER CLAUDE: but keep in mind, your actions are not benevolent
RUNE: *nods to Father Claude*
RUNE: Why?
MIRIEL HANA: *chews on her lower lip*
FATHER CLAUDE: you are doing no one favors seperating families or attempting to remove the children of Cha'reth from the His realm
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: uhm...
FATHER CLAUDE: you are acting out of your own fear and attempting to foist it upon others
RUNE: *shakes his head*
FATHER CLAUDE: *sighs* I have no choice but to declare that the Church of Cha'reth will publicly oppose this
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: wait...
LORD EDDING: as will the queen
RUNE: I would think that the faithful of Chareth would probably stay...
LORD EDDING: I have heard what I came here for *frowns darkly*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *sighs*
LORD EDDING: I will write to you soon, Claude
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i have a question
FATHER CLAUDE: *wings slump* thank you, my Lord
THIENNA: Father, Lord Edding...
MIRIEL HANA: *stares at her feet intently*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *sighs and rests her head on miriels knee*
TA’ANCORINA: *watches Lord Edding leave then looks back to the Father*
FATHER CLAUDE: *sighs again*
RUNE: I force nothing on others *to claude*
[eunfion] Catrionae Dy'nei: [Whisper] well fek
MIRIEL HANA: *is clearly dumbfounded by Cati's gesture*
FATHER CLAUDE: I said foist *almost absently*
THIENNA: Father...
FATHER CLAUDE: yes, my dear? *a small sad smile to Thienna*
TA’ANCORINA: *looks to Thienna*
THIENNA: Many of the people of Visimontium moved here from M'Chek because they wished to start again, in a new place.
FATHER CLAUDE: yes
FATHER CLAUDE: because they were actively starving, though
THIENNA: But they did not leave their hearts behind, or forget their forebearers
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen
FATHER CLAUDE: I do not know
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: pfft...
FATHER CLAUDE: I don't, do you?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i have a picture of toostan on my wall
RUNE: I have lived in a land called Arkaz for many years now.. I still come back often to Visimontium.. to my friends here at Apara Thorpe...
FATHER CLAUDE: I can't speak for the hearts of those who made the long and dangerous trek here
FATHER CLAUDE: I have never left Cha'reth *almost pointedly*
RUNE: I do not see a village in Arkaz being that different from one of the remote villages of Galdos.
FATHER CLAUDE: so I would not know what it is like to be seperate from this palce
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i have li worshipped cha'reth *giggles*
FATHER CLAUDE: Dru'El does not have domain there either, friend Avenger
FATHER CLAUDE: would you leave Him?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: li i would li leave him
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: but there are some who li serve a god here, fen?
MIRIEL HANA: *sighs*
FATHER CLAUDE: *slight nod*
RUNE: Why could you not serve Cha reth where ever you were?
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: so...uhm...if they want to live somewhere else. who cares?
FATHER CLAUDE: and if they wish to go they will, I only ask that it not be out of being lead by fear
THIENNA: *nods to Father Claude's words* That is the crux of the matter, Rune.
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *grins at father* oh...toova oovu. as long as everyone is free to go where they want to
MIRIEL HANA: Aye - *nods as Thienna speaks up*
TA’ANCORINA: If I may say something?
FATHER CLAUDE: of course, sister
TA’ANCORINA: Thank you Father. I had Rune show me the way to this new island and stayed in the area for a while to meet the people, helping as I could. I prayed as usual but the response from Our Lord was not the same there as here, as if He could not quite reach me
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: //gah...sorry everyone
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods to Corina*
MIRIEL HANA: On another plane you will naturally receive some blessings from deities of your own persuasion.
MIRIEL HANA: But not Cha'Reth.
FATHER CLAUDE: *nods*
TA’ANCORINA: There was a presence of some sort there, I could tell that it was good, but it was not Our Lord
RUNE: *nods to Corina* but we can still serve Cha'reths beliefs
FATHER CLAUDE: it is a falsehood to suggest that is the same, though
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: but li all of us serve cha'reth!
TA’ANCORINA: Fen I prayed in His name there as I did here before healing others
RUNE: Really? *titls head to Claude*
RUNE: I find my path in the healing of others...
RUNE: I can still do this there.
FATHER CLAUDE: but it is not Cha'reth that answers you
TA’ANCORINA: You are correct Catri, but you would not feel the touch of Dru'El there either
RUNE: It is Chareth wishes though.
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: fen, i li do
FATHER CLAUDE: *sighs deeply*
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: i've been there twice
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: once to aid in an undead attack
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: and once with run
CATRIONAE DY’NEI: *rune
