Memorable quotes

Achilles

He was pointing out the irony of not taking anything from Mhaldor and then showing a Hashani house with necromancy.

Also why wtf my post  Clearly Mannimar wasn't done with setting the hodgepog collection of classes.  Occies and Necros in the same house?

Sabiru

Hashan ^_^

Dude writes a mean letter though.

Eh, that is just an artifact, not like Mhaldor would let us have any necromancers anyway. I vote SW be Shaman only.

Spirit Walkers have had apostates since Apollyon was their patron back in the day, if I'm not mistaken. Makes more sense than the Merchants having infernals, anyway.

Ya, like I said, it is an artifact from back during Mhaldor's "secret invasion" where they were actually trying to influence our culture, cold war style.

I opted against flowery in my own response:

You see that the letter contains the decapitated head of Proficy, the decapitated head of Dontarion, and the decapitated head of Xer.

You read what is written on a golden-toned letter:

Jurixe,

Your mind is clearly addled, so allow me to set one thing straight for

you: Targossas will not, now or ever, lower itself to rubbing shoulders

with the so-called Mhaldorian elite.

You may continue to whore out your city and your ideals to Ashtan and

Hashan, as you have ever done, but you must be on gleam to think I would

spend 150,000 gold sovereigns to bear witness to Mhaldorian culture. I

wouldn't pay 150 bits to walk your squalid streets.

Please find attached the heads of three of Mhaldor's finest, collected

the last time I paid your city a visit, in lieu of the three Targossians

who will not be attending your gala.

In Their name,

Silas Maynard

Dawnlord of Targossas

It has been signed with:

    Azure, a pair of swords in saltire Argent and a falcon volant contourny in chief Or, the arms of Silas

Jurixe

I won't be posting my own letter/responses as I prefer keeping stuff like that IC, but I'm glad you all had fun composing the responses. I like trying to be creative in penning letters, particularly to enemies - one of the best things I liked about the Game of Thrones series was the clever dialogue, particularly at Joffrey's court, between the political players. The GoT writers do a far better job than I ever will, though. I figured it could be fun for you guys to write if nothing else!

It was far-fetched, of course, that any would respond in the affirmative; it would have made for a very interesting event if it was, but I didn't really expect that to happen - the gesture was made for a different reason. It was interesting to see the various styles of responses and how that reflected the relations between the responding city and Mhaldor. Most, if not all of them, stayed true to form!

Vayne

I thought your letter was exquisitely well done, @Jurixe; it captured the Mhaldorian air perfectly.

You say to Lyaeus, the travelling bard in a rich, contralto voice, "Only if you've a song about Ashtan."

An old sailor slaps his thighs and guffaws like an old man.

An old sailor exclaims, "Aye, Ashtan is the place to be, mate!"

Lyaeus, the travelling bard taps his hoof thoughtfully on the floor.

Lyaeus, the travelling bard says, "This song, entitled "A song for Mhaldor", was composed by the talented Ulrike Dracrotalus around the year 370AF"."

:-L Thanks Lyaeus.

I miss Ulrike, and now I shall temporarily despise you for reminding me of that fact.

To be fair, I think it was pretty effective. Cough. We receive so many Hashani converts and in turn, you enemy them for leaving and coming to Mhaldor, just like Mhaldor would have done.

Props for the letter though.

Mhaldor's "secret invasion"

It sounds so sexy and intriguing when you describe it like that. Please continue to describe it like that.

@Pathers says in a low, charismatic voice, "My reflex works though, I now have arrowcatching up." 

An arrow flies in towards Pathers. 

The arrow strikes Pathers, gouging a deep and bloody wound. 

Pather's eyes close suddenly as he falls asleep. 

 You say in a cold, monotone voice, "Excellent reflexes". 

 @Artanis snickers softly to himself.

Not sure what you are referencing, since what I am talking about happened years ago. The only real lasting effect of that era is we still have necromancers on our accepted class lists. I thought it was especially poetic when Ourania threw the spire into the Ivory Temple.

Sabiru

heh, yeah.

Now that's all over though I bet she'd have time to adjust the list of allowed classes in the houses in which she patrons, just to remove any artifacts which no longer make sense. You should hit her up

Dunn

RIP Ivory Temple.

I do believe that is up to the houses themselves, not the matrons, as previously stated, Hashan is not Mhaldor. :P

Sabiru

oh, right.

Maybe let them know in game that they aren't Mhaldor, so they can ask her to fix any artifacts

Vayne

Sabiru said:

Nah, I'm sorta busy. You can if you want since it seems to bother you so much!

> Seneschal of Hashan writes letter about Hashan not embrace Mhaldorian culture rar!

> 2 Hashani houses accept Necromancy.

> Seneschal says "Not my problem!"

Thanks for the laughs. +1

Vayne

Again, Hashan works a bit differently, the houses and city are largely independent of one another, unlike Mhaldor which is essentially one giant unilateral organization with subdivisions. Hashan is actively hostile against Mhaldor. Mhaldor has effectively run out any necromancers from the city(See Hhaos). However, dropping or keeping necromancers is the right of the houses themselves and I have no right to tell them otherwise, whether I approve or not. I don't feel that takes away from my reply to Jurixe in declining attendance and thus not condoning an event specifically designed to lord Mhaldor over everyone else.

Agravain

I'm just ruffling your feathers 

Vayne

I don't have any feathers. I'm a mammal.

Agravain

Calm down...

Silas

Oh, Hashan. The Ashtani "Not my problem bro" defence should be beneath you if you want to be taken seriously as an org. I mean shit, even Ashtan is moving away from that.
