"I remember just watching as the life I knew was striped away. I remember thinking how worthless I was. But above all I remember the look in her eyes when she knew her life was soon to end. All this, over a few crowns. What life is worth so little?"
Synopsis: The underworld is a dark and scary place, home to far more then the syndicate and bandit. Those that find them selves brought to this place would find all manner of law breaking, whether it be slaver, drugs, murder, or the selling of obscure and illegal parts, if a corrupted mind could think of it they could find it here. There is no hope to be found in the place, no hope to be saved, and no hope to stop it. Though if one wished to find it, all it would takes is knowing where to look.
With the sudden disappearance of several known dead beats and proprietors of debt, including the young drakanites father, Ancel and company begin the desperate search to find and rescue them before they could be lost forever to the black market and the underworld from which it spawned.
Contact Info: Carrot #3057
Attendees: Ancel along with any friends, companions or knight that want to join! (only taking 3 of you, will come to you ICLY if you're accepted.)
Tone: Dark, Lot's of underworld stuff, Race against time!
Specific Request: DM already knows, will probably be multiple parts!
Risk: CoI probably get worse as we go.
Date: TBD by the group!

Contact/Character Name: Sokkxx#5957/Robin lei Queen
Synopsis: Murmurings about the Islands that surround the East have been sending deepened word of a dishonored and corrupted swordsman. A warrior once holding acclaim and radiance among many, that had been corrupted by the influences of the darkness that each and all of the inhabitants had fallen prey to under some mysterious and seemingly irreversible ritual. Half of Valero's Vigilant, had heard the cries from those that had successfully fled before things got too bad over in the area. The swordsman had supposedly began slaughtering all the very people he swore to protect. Intending to bring light, and liberate this smaller Island, and perhaps any surviving inhabitants.. the group would embark on a duel against dark attuned people much closer to demons than men and women about now and all toting some seriously intense swordplay skills to boot before coming face to face with the Fallen Swordsman himself.
Extra Attendees: Ravan Karnstein, Fors.
Tone: Adventurous, Swordplay
Danger: Medium CoI
Requests: Unarmed Tree opener refunded (Iron Fist), as Robin proves himself worthy of being a great swordsman... Maybe some cool dev for attendees. The hilt of a legendary blade(?)

During the cruel and vexing period of the Witch Trials in Esshar's history, some stood above all others, A union endorsed by both the Church of the Celestials and Osrona’s Current Monarch would eventually evolve into what the Order of the First Light is today.
The union started to be known as the Silver Sun a group that single-handled annihilated the forces of darkness upon Esshar during their most terrifying times. At first, an Order of mostly well-trained Exorcists eventually branched out into highly trained militia whose sole purpose was the extermination of the occult.
It was said during the Era the coven of witches first drew their power from Helheim and demonic forces set upon the masses and began laying waste to the mortals of Esshar. Thus the Silver Sun tested a multitude of methods and experiments delving into the deepest recess of humanity to find the power to combat such evils.
And what they found changed the very course of an Esshar being encroached by evil. Rivhad Stelhart was the first to forge a contract between the Silver Order and a Warden of Joruhiem. As he contracted the warden as not only a hunter of evils and Nethradadic witchcraft being used he also took part in a ritual that forever changed the battle between light and darkness.
In an event that was known as the Silver Supper, Rivhad and the Orders 10 most prominent witch hunters, and Demon Slayers all partook in the consumption of the Wardens silver blood something the creature was at first reluctant to doing yet seeing the spread of Helheim's influence within the mortal realm the creature bound itself to Esshar's land and served the heads of the Order and those instilled with its blood for the next 1000 years until both Witchcraft and Demonic activity was eradicated.
Those who indulged within the blood of the Warden found themselves capable of retaining a few of the Warden's abilities capable of becoming entierly different types of magi. Although over time the bloodline was distilled and distorted and now only those who have a connection with Holy or Cosmic light can channel the small remnants of the Wardens blood.
Although this power is not given freely, Many who inherit power are likely to abuse it and thus the within the original contract trials are laid out that would determine if one was capable of awakening such strength only those who had the will to not only fight against Darkness but become a Beacon of Light for all to follow in the footsteps of.
And thus the three strongest of the Silver Sun became known as the Lightbringers, The most deeply connected and visibly endowed with the power of the Warden. With the powers given the warden was capable of passing down 5 of its powers to those who sought to gain them were named the 5 commandments
Most would awaken at least 2 but those who excelled or surpassed the flock were able to attain 4. The 5th, however, was reserved for those who had not only awakened all 4 powers but those who's abilities were not only proficient enough to become a Lightbringer but proved themselves capable of interacting with the lifestream and acting according to its will.
The 1st Commandment, Thou Shall see Truth.- The user is capable of seeing spirits and other forms of Spectres if trained well enough they can even sense the lifeforce in humans and animals. And distinct occultic signatures from normal ones. While this power fails in comparison to the Warden's Truth gaze it can quite easily pick up on wicked Magics.
The 2nd Commandment, Thou Shall be Repent.- Mostly used as a form of punishment the power of Repentance was used form seals and other variations of this magic. Some even went as far as to seal away large creatures and objects, and would often time take enormous amounts of mana.
The 3rd Commandment, Thou shall be Pacified - The power of Pacification was perhaps one of the most necessary ones to be developed during the age of Witches and Demons, While their curses and Hexes caused bouts of rage, death, and unending sin and slaughter the power of the Sanctuary nullifies such effects. And could even prevent them from happening if the ritual is performed prior.
The 4th Commandment, Thou shall Purify all creation- The power of purification was one already instilled within the Holy and Cosmic arts, To burn and purge out all corruption at its core, Yet with the Silver blood of the wardens, this strength grew even stronger. Those who wielded it were able to dispell any darkness within a person destroying the root of their chaos, Even going as far as to cleanse them by force leaving no such trace of their magics. Although oftentimes such things were never conducted Occultists were rarely given the luxury to start life anew and when they did a scant few survived the process.
The 5th Commandment, Thou Shall Pass Judgement.- Perhaps the most volatile of the commandments given its ability was not able to be deemed upon Evil but upon the living and the innocent as well. Anywho awakened it were immediately taken to be trained within the order and learned to fully realize their capabilities. Those who have such qualities can dictate to the lifestream willingly and pass judgment upon the foes they have defeated in battle. Once the ritual of judgment takes place it cannot be ended until a decision has been made and those who are deemed to act in defiance of the lifestream would see themselves burst into silver flames before their very eyes. The power of the Cosmos and holy light purging them of all sin. These silver flames are said to be pure lifeforce channeled by the Warden of the past. Dying in this manner is not only extremely painful but it comes with the added clarity that any who have been judged will have their Life essence extracted and would disband them from any dark forces most specifically those of Helheim. Sentencing them to burn within a star instead of serving their dark master.
Of all the commandments the Power of Judgment was misused the most, In the days of the Witch trials describing those who were witches from those who were not was not only a good way to get rid of one’s enemies but to eliminate any suspicious acts or threats. Because of this many were put to the stake and burned in the silver fire. Only half of which turned out to be true Witches.
Even in the modern era, the biggest threat to the Exorcist force is discerning who the actual witches are from the false ones. Eventually, those of the Silver Blood were assimilated into modern culture, The Silver Sun anointed by the Crown the right to become the main branch of the Military. A new order that did not have such a bloodied passed and the 5 Commandments disappeared within the recesses of time. And Esshar continued to grow into the nation it is today.
And with the return of the Wickedness of witchcraft in the current era, Those who shared ancestors blood with the Warden and the 10 soon feel the stir of their powers beginning to emerge.

They're way too long now for the horrible low drop rates on Shards etc that are required for perms.
Either make them respawn faster or drastically improve the drop rates, please.

Synopsis: Research led Lukas to Aegis- Its kingdoms, both fallen and standing scattered across the far eastern continent. What caught their attention most was a kingdom that stood proudly thousands of years ago but was whisked away seemingly overnight by a powerful, flood, seemingly erasing it from existence. The teen figured it to be a good test for the researchers of the Seekers. Were they to venture there, what they'd find would be a total mystery. What caused such a massive flood remained unknown to this day. Perhaps these ruins, out of the many others, piqued Lukas' interest the most was the flood...
The Seeker Researchers will set out on a journey to a drowned kingdom in Aegis. Seeking knowledge first and foremost and developing trust amongst guild members who attend.
Attendees: Lukas, Cicero, other members of The Knowledge Seekers, specifically of the Researcher rank.
Risk: Chance of injury. They are venturing to the unknown. Surprises are welcome.
Tone: Mysterious, adventurous
Requests: Leaving with more knowledge than when entering, bonding and situations that perhaps test trust.
Lukas also very intentionally searched for something involving water (Can be discussed with DM)
For others, perhaps their own personal development alongside bonding with one another further
But, please do surprise us.
Contact: ry0un0suke#6117 if more nitty-gritty discussion is needed
Time: TBD. Whatever works best with everyone. I'm free all-day
DM: Trey

Yes, hello. You all know me as Eternal Kitten from Eternia and Spires, though I'd prefer to go by Astronomical now. It's a silly story about why I've changed the username, but I won't get into that. Regardless, I'm here to happily show off my art and many, many Dreamcatchers I've made throughout the years!
I'd also like to show you all my Etsy account hehe. I've temporarily (or permanently; unsure yet) have quit the game as a result of things going on with myself, therefore I've gone off to pursue my little business. I want to show off my creations to the community I've shared these last five years with. My art and hand crafted things are something I'm passionate about as shown through my work, which I put a lot of love and effort into. This helps me immensely to fight back in my battle of depression and many other mental disorders that I struggle with daily, so to share what I make with others definitely helps pick me up if I'm feeling low.
Anyways! Here is the link to my Etsy if anyone wants to take a look, send it to their friends, or what have you! I'll also post pictures below throughout time of what I've made previously or at the time of posting! C: Please enjoy! https://www.etsy.com/shop/OfADreamCrafts
Also god someone increase character length

It is a creature older than any living magi.
Its power rivals that of many spirits, speculated to be born of the sorrow of men and women throughout time. A banshee, they called it. During the old times, when Witchcraft and magic were both at their peak, it roamed Esshar seeking for innocent victims. It carried the sole intent of claiming lives with its infamous cry. An omen of death, the sighting of a Banshee hasn't been recorded in the books of history for centuries now.
Until a couple of weeks ago.
During the full moon, as Aerandale's Gala commenced. Its scream had been heard once more, awoken from a slumber-- no, summoned from the depths of Hel itself. It has a goal and purpose once more, it seeks to hunt the civilians of Esshar. It cares not for status or race, only for what little despair it can find within its victim. The Banshee's cry allows the creature to find the mental weakness of its prey, it takes pleasure in driving them mad until their very essence is stolen. Many families across different villages have been torn asunder by this spirit, and now, it's headed towards the city of Orsona itself.
It is coming.
You've been warned.
OOC Info
Relevant Attendees: Any resident of the city & First Light members & The Church & Citywatch members.
When & Where: This Wednesday, 6 PM EST. Will take place in the city.
