Here is probably not ze best place to be bringing up personal issues about vat ze Scouts, Skathen or Bears haf or haf not done. It is done now, whether there are repercussions, ve vill see.
But lets concentrate on ze issues in hand.
Ze three critters that came to visit us in order to pike power and try and palm off swords vere not pleasant. Von at a time i sink ze guild could put zem down but three, vell i saw vat zey were capable of. Very cunning, Ze angry von vould engage you in not so polite conversation zen ze little female von viz ze stare vould strike you in ze back through ze ritual of peace. And ze other von, ze sveet talker, he vas ze most dangerous.
I haf heard ze armourers guild is capable of destroying an artefact veapon of great power. Next time ze swords arrive, how about ve run zem over zere?

Okay, hello, I am Romani, and I am not member of your Guild just as the yet, but did sit in it for sometime reading all your papers.

Perhaps please to be informing me? I know of Hildarion, great smith of Taranaith, as every elf does. How does he come to be in league with peculiar fat used-to-be-ancester-monster and after destroying the Guild he admired, please?

Romani

Romani,
Yes, I remember you, welcome. Please accept the hosiptality of learning.

How this happened is not known, though some likely theories could be offered.

But I would have some questions for you:
What do you know of Hildorian?
-It is known that he was a smith in Morias but did this carry on through until the founding of Taranaith (or was the centre of Morias always refered to as Taranaith)?
-Do you know the history of Hildorian, to your knowledge did he (and indeed how) die?
-Why do you call him the 'great smith'?

With thanks,

-Othgir

PS Alfredo - you may have a point there but not knowing more we should be hesitant to act rashly. After all it will surely anger the Avatars and they may have the capabiltiy to exist without the Bladeds.

there is always a choice about what you giev someone. if they take it well thats a different thing.

i'll try and make sure my family is around the guild more or available incase these avatars show up at the next moot.
do you want them talking to or "dealing with".....

im at the masters service...

He's a smith of legend, so great smith. He made the first Swords of Suns Dawning, I heard. Surely these are the swords you now speak of? His name is legend, belonging to the time of the first, and is placed with the Mistraevens and the golden Twins. But those are echoes to me, remnants of a time long lost. I've little other knowledge of him, growing up among humans most of the lore I have is gleaned from wise people I have met. Much of it will be garbled and untrue.

Morias is the heart of Taranaith, where grows the White Tree. A district, you could call it. I don't know if Taranaith grew up about Morias., but I suppose it seems likely, now you say it. Cities always grow. The city was ruined and abandoned hundreds of lives ago, lost to Deamons which infested the Tree. I can tell you little more than that.

Romani,

You are very knowledgeable.

The sword of suns dawning, no that is not the sword which we speak. Is that not a viper artefact?

These swords, are weapons enchanted by hildorian and iimbued with the power of ancestral avatars. There are three for each college. They can possess you to do things. I myself went berserk holding one. If you die holding one....it's bad. Othgir is probably better at explaining than I.

Hamish

I have heard something about the swords of suns dawning and suns setting, alas not much information but mahaps it may come to be of some use.

They were strangely designed blades, shaped in homage to the ancestral trees.

Both swords were enchanted, to be especially affect any unliving however Suns Dawning was able to lay to rest those it struck down on the final blow and the Suns Setting dedicated the pattern to the weilders ancestor.

They were Incantors artifacts, but i am not sure what happened to them in the past few years.

The original Swords of Suns Dawning were created by the Dragons, Gwion led the ritual when we created them 12 or 13 years ago. They were effective against unliving and laid them to rest on the final blow. (OOC Enchanted versus Unliving & Lay to Rest on the final blow. It was a very cold morning and early start as we did the ritual at the crack of dawn during a campaign event, with the first rays of sun hitting the ritual group at just the right time for a fantastic ritual)

A master smith produced some copies a few years ago, and named them Suns Dawning and Suns Setting, I believe that they were stolen from the guild by some illithids...

Iragora,

definately the swords. I don't have the guts to raise a weapon agains't gilzarn as the sword made me do as she was in the way. It is not a situation I wish to happen again.

Interesting in regards to the swords. Do we know what happened to them?

I would not be putting all that much store in my knowledge, as I am a hedge-witch, not a lore mistress. As may be seen by the fact that I'm wrong with the names and types of the swords! It is indeed the swords that so affected unliving and laid them to rest that I was thinking they were.

I read up the history of the swords in the guild, most interesting. I will come and be of the joining if I get time at the Moot. This is in the tarantula lands, si? Never I have been travelling in the Underdark, and much look forwards to it. But there are ancient elves surely there who might remember Hildarion? What of the Gazers?

Romani

The scrolls found at the consecration suggest Gwion knew Hildarion before his 'corruption'.

Perhaps he might have somehting to say on the matter.

In Faith

p.s Hamish, i don't believe you :p

I imagine most of the gathering at the moot will be held aboveground, a shame. Most of the beauty of the underdark is below, As I am trust those who have visited the Dyar'turic guildhall will attest.

I for one hope that the Moot is somewhat less, ahh.. eventful in terms of politics than the Games where.

There is a lot of information to be shared and discovered and some time to collate such would be most beneficial for all of the colleges.

I am dissapointed i did not get to see this avatars in person, I wonder if we have enough theologists to controll one within the guild? That would answer many questions i trust.

Lorr,

the avatars were of the 50th rank.

Thats quite alot and bear in mind they come in three's...

if we can prepare its a maybe but I highly expect the other two to go nuts as a result of it.

Hamish

Romani,
Those of the elder-elves I have spoken of remember Hildorian as a lesser-craftsman and little more. Indeed this was how Hildorian thought of himself - from the knowledge I have Shaol Mistrivven was the one to see some spark of possibilty within Hildorian.

Unfortunately Hildorian did not know Gwion, rather he saw him at council - little was known of him other than he was a artisan and smith (if there was a difference to people of that time).

These swords were originally created before the sundering but have been reforged within the last year and a half. There are nine in total

3 Swords of the Sun (light)
3 Swords of the Moon (dark)
3 Swords of the Stars (without bias)

Don't worry Hamish, it is the combination of light and darkness within us all that makes us who we are.
