The Birth of Keldjan kol Granbanast

[provisionist1]

Sitting down to a simple meal of grilled carp and diaboli wine, Xirius notices a stranger running quickly towards him on the rocky road from Solkhakhum to Hydlaa.

\"Hail good stranger!!!\" Xirius shouted.

The dwarf, as Xirius could now plainly see, slowed down with his call. Breathing deeply after stopping at Xirius\' camp, he lay his scruffy mining-worked hands on his knees, bending over for air.

Come sir, have a drink, you look tired, Xirius remarked.

\"No, thanks though\" the dwarf breathed out with more air than words. \"We dwarves are not meant for long distance running...sprinting, but not running.\"

\"Ah, well than may I ask where you are running in such a hurry?\"

\"Aye. I am going to Hydlaa, I was called upon by the town guard to help with security in case the Octarch election goes awry.\"

\"Ah, well good luck to you then. I myself am curious with the result, but have little interest in democracy.\" Xirius says smuggly offering a glass of water to the dwarf.

\"Thank you\" the dwarf said finally having fully caught his breath.

\"Well, could you please take a message for me? I\'ll pay you well, seeing as you are headed that way anyways.\"

\"I suppose that would be acceptable, except, how am I to find the deliverant?\"

\"He will find you\" Xirius said with a slight smile across his lizard-like lips. \"His name is Llyando, a Dermorian fire-mage, living in Hydlaa, managing our...ahem...organisation until I return.\"

\"Sure, it shouldn\'t be a problem then.\"

\"Good.\"

Xirius pulled out a scroll of tefusang hide, wrote down a message and gave it to the dwarf, along with two golden circles.

\"Ah, sir this is more than generous...\" The dwarf said surprised at the large sum of payment.

\"Please, I insist, the message is quite important. I have unfortunately been delayed in Solkhakhum with work, and this contains some important instructions for my Sentinel. Here is some water for the road as well,\" Xirius replied as he filled the dwarf\'s canteen.

The dwarf took one more sip and bid Xirius a good evening before returning to the road.

\"Excellent\" Xirius said to himself. \"I should be back in a couple days and all will be prepared.\"

Bows in respect to the rise of a new power Welcome to this realm, I hope your newly established guild enjoys its stay if it is to last...best of luck ignore the ignorant citizens they only know what they make up in their head well on the \"John\"

[Sangwa]

*Sangwa chuckles coldly*
Welcome to Yliakum, cultist, may the shadows watch over you.

OOC: The guild looks fine, good luck. Who knows, maybe you\'ll  prove that Saint is wrong.

[provisionist1]

A cold wind blowing and rain pouring down, Xirius sheathes his falchions and enters the warm Tavern. He hopes to see a busy lively crowd, but unfortunately there is only the barkeep and a sleeping female Enki.

\"Greetings, may I have a Dwarven ale please?\" Xirius asks coolly, wishing there were more people around.

\"Aye sir...\"

The barkeeper hands him a frosty mug, and Xirius walks over to the fireplace, and sits, contemplating his next move.

\"Well, at least I am back in Hydlaa...\" he says, sipping his ale and munching on some carpcakes leftover from his journey.

Xirius reports the latest news of Keldjan kol Granbanast in the crowds of Hydlaa Plaza

My friends, after a long and tiresome sabatical in my village outside of Solkhakhum (the mac client was down and I had exams), I have come back to Hydlaa to increase membership in the guild and work on other matters.

We now have three new members: Hartaro who was appointed to apprentice yesterday, Waurelie who was also appointed to apprentice a couple days ago and Travus who has yet to undergo the initiation ceremony.

Keldjan can and will be a ruling force, but we need more members, please visit the website (of which the server will hopefully be again up soon) at http://www.keldjan.garlando.org and look at our philosophies.

Thank you, May Keldjan light the darkness...

Xirius Dolaktisht, Master of Keldjan

The website is coming along nicely, we now have forums! They are fully functioning, but there are a couple graphics and texts that need to be changed.

Visit the website: http://www.keldjan.garlando.org

The website is a little basic, but it is clean.  I see you still have a little work to do on it.  Do you have forums?  When I click on  the forums button it takes me to the Hierarchy page.  Also, the only real mistake I saw on your site is when you mention using the Red and Blue Ways because of the polar opposites you believe in... then you say Fire and Water O_o.

[provisionist1]

Hierarchy page? Huh, very odd, works for me and my guild members. What browser are you using? We know it works on Mozilla, Netscape, and Safari, of course I never know about Windoze Exploder (hehehe, little mac joke there). I\'ll check it out, I think I still have that particular piece of software on my computer, buried deep in the shadows.

To get to the forums go to: http://www.keldjan.garlando.org/phpBB2/index.php

Yeah, the website still needs some work, there will eventually be a news box that adds from postings in the news section fo the forums, and a member logon that allows access to the ceremonies page and guild quests page. Hierarchy needs updating, as does the What is Keldjan page.

Yes, red and blue to us are opposites but work together to be very powerful (as are crystal and dark, and azure/brown). Somewhere I remember reading about realm ten spells that will combine opposing glyphs for uber-power. Hehehe, and even though it might be years before this happens, we still roleplay it. Also, in the descriptions of the ways, red is derived from the fire element and blue from the water, just as brown is from earth and azure from air. More polar opposites might seem to be crystal and dark, but we prefer red and blue as they are not \"good and evil,\" just powerful in two opposing ways.

Hope this answers some of your questions, thanks for the constructive critisism, it\'s really helpful, I want this guild to be the best it can be and last a long time.

Cheers,

Xirius

Im using firefox.  I checked it again and it still does it hmmm....  

But really, keep up the good work.  I do like what you have done so far.  Your guild seems to be one of the most promising new guilds out there.  Not that you are brand new.  How long have you been around now?

[Rumley Benson]

Great idea and excellent execution.

[provisionist1]

Anyways, here is a picture of me...



Hehehehe, yeah, we need cloaks in game.

Also, to everyone; do not think this wipe will wipe Keldjan as well, it will come back, stronger than ever.

It would seem the apocalypse has finished millions of souls having been devoured by The Carcarass, and Yliakum itself still appears to be suffering environmentally from the sudden disappearance of millions of tons of weight on the inside of the stalactite as everyone disappeared from the rapture. Apparently top mages are hard at work resurrecting souls, many of them coming back in different forms than before, with different names and species.

I for the moment am back in my village outside of Solkhakhum, helping some healers resurrect the dead. I know only that I will be back when the great and loved-by-all archangel Daniel Fryer finishes his magical repairs to the Azure Sun.

[for those of you who are confused, I am offline until the mac client is rebuilt, should be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.]

As the rapture apparently destroyed all guildhalls as well, the Temple of Keldjan kol Granbanast will be re-built when I return.

I, Llyando Autora, Sentinal of Keldjan, have returned once again to Hydlaa.
If you are interested in the nature of Keldjan, or indeed wish to join our quest for balance. Please feel free to speak to me during my frequent trips to Hydlaa.

[ooc] whilst our esteemed guild leader is unable to connect due to the nature of his computer *cough*mac*cough* please feel free to speak to me in game about our guild or if you wish to join.
I will try to be online each night between about 8pm and 10pm BST (English time) but on this I make no guarantees.
