There are ~17 days until my order from [[Ember and Ash]] will be ready ## During Session [[Sister Aurelia]] is here, it’s us with four other guests: - [[Brother Milan]] is also here - Rich Lady - Femora thinks [[The Golden Word]], is in a book club - Phil Anthropic, was in Mumbai’s for the museum gala - [[Estellene Atropos]] goes up to the poorest one, orc, he is a laborer, he’s working hard, he thinks the undead are creepy does not like galas, his name is Borug - [[Tajka Walenth]] is going to talk to [[Sister Aurelia]]: - [[Dax Davenett Derichael Daydrich the Druid IV]] apparently walked up as well - [[Roth Ira]] asks if he sees a [[Protectorate of the Umbral Primacy]] mage he does not - [[Brother Milan]]’s lesson, mentions connection with [[Anahar|Soulweaver]] - Eyes which are now unclouded from that which is meaningless in this world, eyes that let me better see the righteous path, but also see this world through the eyes of our creator, the creator of the fractured wave intended in the days of creatio. It is a humbling experience, all who commit themselves fully will have the pleasure and honor of receiving this gift. - In the beginning there was but a single thread, a single source of all that would be, through conflict in the past that thread was severed into countless pieces, eventually shepherded by [[Anahar]] and woven into a tapestry of our experience, and is most explicitly the soul we possess. Once could lament the severing, [[Anahar]] rejoices in the many ways the threads have been oven together, until eventually they are once gain unified - When all are unclouded we will rejoice in the true tapestry of souls becoming one - To reconnect: must see and experience and understand how we originally were - The gods are liars, they have taken [[Anahar]]’s tapestry and shaped it in their image, and claimed they were the creators. To become one again the lie of the gods (that we are in their image) must be shattered - We do not need to kill the gods, we just need a different one - He has all hold hands, to feel the spark in ourselves, and the resonant spark in those whose hands we are holding, he walks around and cradles our head placing his thumb on our forehead, mutters something, - The first real steps requiring listening to the words, the next apes are where your ill find your eyes unclouded, do you want to take the next step - Yes - Feel a warmth - Out of the corner of my eye I see a few leaves and I see the green in the leaves as almost effervescent, truly incredible green, sounds like I’m rolling - [[Dax Davenett Derichael Daydrich the Druid IV]] - Sure, buddy man - [[Estellene Atropos]] - Yes - Fails a wisdom save - Triggering moment brings back memories of the confrontation in [[Mossdeep]] - caught between her previous beliefs and what this religion might offer - [[Roth Ira]] - Yes - [[Pemme]] - No, and is also not holding hands, wants no part of this - [[Tajka Walenth]] - Yes - eyes close, seeing segments breaking in half and in half until they scatter, seeing the shattering of the universal soul, voice that seems to contain everything, brother Milan smiles knowingly with a tear in his eye, whispers: “you are truly blessed by the [[Anahar|Soulweaver]]” - you are one step closer to seeing your true divine potential - We are going to join together in a prayer of well-wishes to one of their brothers who has been called to a higher purpose, gifted by Anahar with a task that will help greatly bring about this reality. - [[Andres Krall]], - Brother Milan is further along on the path than [[Sister Aurelia]] Merrick Voss is the person who was murdered on the SS Gallant - senior arcane researcher at the CIAA CIAA - [[Center for the Innovation of the Arcane Arts]] [[Saint Rennick]] died a few years ago [[Roth Ira]] notices someone who was watching us. - They run, Roth cases ‘stealthily’ - When Roth hits the tree line no sound, and then sound starts again, might be magic affoot - ‘does a 13 hit you’ - they’re on the run again, with the guy taking pot-shots on the run - Roth notices that this a 30-something halfelven man wearing a black cloak over decent armor - Roth tries to grapple him - He screams for help - He gets away What is [[Anahar]]’s stance on Guantanamo Bay?
