Cain

Whilst talking about @Rangor  

Xenomorph tells you, "Why does he even play our game anyways. Not like I log onto shitass D&D Norway
and kick it with foo's."

Xenomorph

Got my name wrong when I created my character.

Should have been Xenophobe

Rangor

D&D Norway is called VIKING MUD.

Vayne

Verily said:

Ourania, Goddess of the Moon says to Vayne, "Seneschal, can you dodge?"

Vayne says in a warm, confident voice, "Oh my."

Vayne begins to weave back and forth, like the cobra.

...

Ourania trains Her expert eye on a distant target and lets fly an arrow with breathtaking precision.

Vayne has been slain by the might of Ourania, Goddess of the Moon.

Vayne has been slain by Ourania.

Glittering celestial lights accompany the smooth vibrations of Ourania's husky laugh.

Ourania, Goddess of the Moon says, "It seems the Seneschal cannot dodge!"

...

(Hashan): Jacen says, "Um."

(Hashan): Jacen says, "Something wrong?"

(Hashan): Mystara says, "My question exactly, master."

(Hashan): Ourania says, "I assure you the Seneschal is fine. He simply.. tripped... and fell upon an arrow."

My efforts to get away were all in Vayne.

Tvistor

You shouldn't know why that is frightening.

Hey, Daeir, your alt is showing.

Kresslack

Lys has formally declared you an enemy of the Divine Order of Lorielan, the Enlightened.

That was pretty random.

Lothien

I'm assuming it's in case they have to worldburn during a raid.

Yeah. Same thing, here. Was there a leadership change, maybe?

Antonius

Lorielan's Order became considerably more relevant by virtue of her being the only God Shallam has left alive, so I imagine they're pre-emptive enemyings for worldburn and because at some point you guys are going to defile anyway.

Mannimar

am I the only one who finds it ironic that the Goddess of Knowledge is a god of the book burning city?

Some knowledge is too dangerous, I think it's somewhere in the philosophy

Not really. One could even say that Shallam and Ashtan were two opposite sides of the same coin - Ashtan willing to preserve all knowledge, even though some knowledge(Occultism) is inherently dangerous to the world at large, and Shallam opting to only preserve knowledge that is safe, willing to go to extreme lengths(Burning Times) to do so.

In short, Shallam is the MIB. We should totally have a Warehouse 13-esque museum of 'DO NOT TOUCH, YOU FOOL' occultic curios retrieved over the years of purging the occultic arts.

Jacen

When we were discussing possible Patrons for the Lotus, I threw Lorielan's name out there, just by sifting thru HELP GODS and their open help files. When I got "wtf no, she's a Shallamese goddess" I was like wtf???

Talonia

You mean like Marvin the Martian?  Gonna need a pretty cool exhibit to replace that one... 

Synbios

Novice says, "Sir Synbios, what's that weird glowy book over there?"

Novice 2 says, "And why is the man reading it growing scary-looking tentacles all over his body?"

Synbios says, "A moment, and I'll answer your questions."

-brokenstars the occultist with Roaring Crickets-

-burns the book in the pyre-

Novice, "Oooooooh, cool! How'd you do that?"

Synbios says, "Ok young ones, let me explain..."

Synbios is now wearing a pair of heavily-tinted spectacles.

Synbios begins to wield a Neuralizer on his left hand.

Raising a Neuralizer to everyone's faces, Synbios presses a hidden button, which emits a blinding flash.

Synbios says, "...You two have been excellent novices, finding a poor kid's textbook! Though you should have gotten out of the way of a meat stand nearly crushing the textbook and you. Now run along. I'll deliver the book to the kid's parents."

Novice says, "Yes sir. Yay textbook."

Novice 2 says, "Meat...delicious meat...need to eat dinner now..."

Novice leaves to the north, a dazed look on his face.

Novice 2 leaves to the south, a dazed look on her face.

Jonathin

I'm not really sure where to put this because I don't have the actual quote on hand, but basically, @Xenomorph asked me if I was going to continue 'bandwagoning' to cities. Not really sure what he meant, but he said that he gives me 3 more years in Shallam before I quit for another city (not really sure where he got that idea).

Then, last night I had a dream that I got pissed off at Shallam, quit, and rejoined Mhaldor and woke up thinking 'omg I have to log in, I made a huge mistake'.

CHARACTERS list

I didn't even know this existed. Also, I'm surprised to see that I've only bought credits on two characters. I didn't even buy a few to make my previous main character permanent.

Erasariel

TIL there's a CHARACTER list.

I gotta head back and see how many of mine still are around.

Lothien

CHARACTERS also tells you when you registered. Wow. Four and a half years! Flies by.

It tells you when you last registered, so for older players it basically just tells you when the new (edit: I guess it's not really new anymore) registration system went in.

Alyssea

It only says when you last updated, character age - 18 / 29 is more accurate if you've registered more than once.

Edit: And ninja'd by Sena

11.22 LORIELAN, THE ENLIGHTENED

The former Queen of Proteus and once Jade Empress, Lorielan was recently 

released from Her crystalline prison to walk among the worlds once more. Her 

first return introduced a goddess of strict Knowledge and history

She patrons the realms of Knowledge, 

Wisdom, Truth, and Enlightenment

Mishgul

So is anyone going to unravel her (mysteries)?

The former Queen of Proteus and once Jade Empress, Lorielan was recently
released from Her crystalline prison to walk among the worlds once more. Her first return introduced a goddess of strict Knowledge and history, Her interest in the simple facts of existence and their endless accumulation. A
breath of time and a second respite to the Kx'Khrah plane found the Lady no longer satisfied with the neutrality and moral ambiguity of that realm, and Her focus turned to the use and analysis of the information She once so ardently attained.

She patrons the realms of Knowledge, Wisdom, Truth, and Enlightenment, using them in accordance with those beliefs, yet does not claim them as solely Hers.

Cooper

Read the whole thing and stop making yourself look stupid.

Thaumas

Lorielan is not "the Goddess of Knowledge". Seriously, English is barely a language. Surely you can understand that phrase?

Cooper

Chryenth

I don't know much about language, but that looks pretty much like Lorielan is a Goddess, of a set of things that includes 'Knowledge'.

Hence, Goddess of Knowledge. In the same way Athena was Goddess of Wisdom - true, as far as it goes, but not completely accurate.

Thaumas

The. The Goddess of Knowledge.
