A homing pigeon flutters in towards you, gliding over you as it drops a letter into your hands before flapping away once more.
You read what is written on an elegant white letter:

Aarbrok bares his teeth in a feral grin.

(Spirean Hunters): Eleanor says, "Man, and people used to get riled when I sprinkled butterflies everywhere."
(Spirean Hunters): You say, "How did you get them..."
(Spirean Hunters): Eugenides says, "Maaaaagic."
(Spirean Hunters): Volka says, "Oh god, remember when the butterflies in the ambassador's office got out?"
(Spirean Hunters): Volka says, "Oh lord."
(Spirean Hunters): Aarbrok says, "I have commanded them to retrieve all the balls."
(Spirean Hunters): Aarbrok says, "I shall be the balls overlord."
(Spirean Hunters): Volka says, "...."
(Spirean Hunters): Volka says, "You made me snort my coffee. Damn you Aarbrok."
(Spirean Hunters): Aarbrok says, "People will hear the angels cry out of the day Aarbrok claimed all the balls in the name of the Great Republic Spinesreach!"
(Spirean Hunters): Aarbrok says, "Then I will likely get assassinated."
(Spirean Hunters): Aarbrok says, "You say to a soulless pixie, "You should truly claim the balls from the great pit, atop the central spire....litter them for the Republic...let the balls free.""

Jami sets her palm against a warm obsidian pillar veined with fire.
The temperature around the Pillar rises to uncomfortable heights as fire blossoms within it, heat and light erupting from the surface beneath Jami's touch.
Your eyes sparkle with amusement.
Jami looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.
You say, "Please take the time until this gathering to consider what words you wish to put to Oath."
(Web): Jami says, "So..it will record our oaths?"
(Web): You say, "Yep!"
(Web): Jami says, "How will it know!?!?"
(Web): Jami says, "Artifice."
(Web): You say, ">:)"
Grand Mistress Tylera, the Autumn Phoenix asks, "So now we each form our own oath, rather than the predescribed one I had spoken?"
(Web): You say, "It engraves them onto it's surface."
You nod your head emphatically.
You say, "Correct."
Grand Mistress Tylera, the Autumn Phoenix exclaims, "Excellent!"
Grand Mistress Tylera, the Autumn Phoenix says, "I feel it is much more meaningful that way."
(Web): Jami says, "I hope nobody likes...does something to be funny when we're not around."
You say, "Future generations will be able to gain from your words, so choose what you will say and make it mean something, as it carries your will as a zealot to them."
(Web): You say, "Well, only members can use it that are GR3 and up."
Grand Mistress Tylera, the Autumn Phoenix asks, "So the pillar will store our energy and the oath we spoke?"
(Web): You say, "I'll be working on embellishing the Awakening of the Spark Ceremony some, too, in the future. That's next, before the blueprint designs start up."
You nod your head emphatically.
Tylera blinks.
Grand Mistress Tylera, the Autumn Phoenix says, "That is quite impressive."
You say, "A small piece of your inner spark."
(Web): You say, "Which I'll need your help with."
(Web): You say, "Because I don't know if I can just make it happen myself to review it - the ceremony >>."
The sun begins her downward journey towards eventual sleep, casting even, full light upon the land.
Grand Mistress Jami Siarani, The Bruiser says to you, "Can we make Kylan go first."
The Pillar flashes with incandescent light, spilling forth a wave of heat from its glowing form; words burn themselves into the stone, seared indelibly into the Pillar's surface.
Jami pointedly says nothing at all.
You say, "..erk.."
The smell of fresh baked goods drifts across your senses from a nearby home.
(Web): You say, "AHAHAHAA."
Jami sets her palm against a warm obsidian pillar veined with fire.
(Web): You say, "Asthdyhh."
The temperature around the Pillar rises to uncomfortable heights as fire blossoms within it, heat and light erupting from the surface beneath Jami's touch.
Nola raises her hand to her mouth, stifling a laugh.
(Web): Jami says, "Oh I see."
(Web): Jami says, "You touch it, then it records."
(Web): You say, "Yep!"
Tylera covers her mouth with her hand to hide a grin, but fails to hide the amused twinkle in her eyes.
(Web): Jami says, "Shit, now my oath is making kylan go first."
(Web): You say, "XD."
(Web): You say, "I'll get it fixed."
Grand Mistress Jami Siarani, The Bruiser says to you, "Wisdom for the ages."
You say to Jami, "Always make Kylan go first? Of course."
(Spirean Hunters): You say, "Bright side of breaking up - my ex was a bad kisser."

(Spirean Hunters): You say, "So i won't be stuck with that forever."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "I just kind of."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Smash my lips into theirs."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Stick out my tongue."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Eyes -wide- open."
(Spirean Hunters): You say, "It's like a fucking drive through car wash, kissing trager."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Don't knock it till u try it."
(Web): Ellenia says, "I wish I was 16 still
(Web): Ellenia says, "Those were the days."
(Web): Ellenia says, "No bills, bi responsibilities."
(Web): Ellenia says, "*no."
(Web): Trager says, "I'm more interested in these bi responsibilities."
(Web): Ellenia says, "The Bi responsibilities only came around in college."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Sounds like a myth, tbh."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Folklore."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Like bigfoot."
(Spirean Hunters): Trager says, "Or the loch ness mobster."
(Spirean Hunters): You say, "Loch ness mobster?"
."
(Spirean Hunters): Volka says, "Yeah see, my lake, see."
(Spirean Hunters): Eleanor says, "Och aye break yer kneecaps."

(Spirean Hunters): Eleanor says, "Something something PLESIOSAUR JOKE."
(Web): You say, "Yes, what are you doing now?"
(Web): Jalil says, "Barmaid."
(Web): Jalil says, "...that came out wrong."
-
(Recruits): You say, "Oof another one."
(Recruits): You say, "You two siblings by any chance?"
(Recruits): Jiah says, "Where's Jalil? He should be here by now."
(Recruits): Jaii says, "Indeed."
(Recruits): You say, "Looks like he's running from some slavers."
(Recruits): Jiah says, "Always was the slow one."
(Recruits): You say, "You three want an introduction when he finds his way up the mountain?"
(Recruits): Jiah says, "Sounds lovely!"
(Recruits): You say, "That's one word for it."
(Recruits): Jaii says, "Certainly. And let's not complain about him being the slow one. We usually let the bears and other such things catch him, remember?"
(Recruits): Jiah says, "Well, I could have said it sounds brutal and menacing, but I thought you might prefer that line yourself."
(Recruits): You say, "I'll be in the barracks, when he gets here and you all get your bearings."
(Recruits): Medeya, the gatewarden says, "Hail, Recruit Jalil and welcome to the Carnifex - now stop your dawdling and report to the Keep! Just PATH FIND GUILD and then follow the trail up the giant mountain. Turn left at the gallows tree. Can't miss it. PULL AXE when you arrive to enter and then get started on your basic training by reading the duty board in the barracks or browsing HELP GUILDNOVICES CARNIFEX. Direct any questions to us via GNT . Good luck. You're gonna need it."
(Tells|Solaria): Solaria tells you, "(( You got lots of newbs. Geez. ))"
(Tells|Solaria): Solaria tells you, "(( 3 in a row ))"
(Tells|Solaria): You tell Solaria, "((yeah....))"
(Recruits): You say, "Right. Report to the barracks, recruits, for a basic introduction to the Keep."
(Recruits): You say, "Just PATH FIND GUILD, PULL AXE and head west and far north."
They show up, I examine...
(Research): You say, "Oh god help they are all imps."
(Carnifex): You say, "Hail, Ser."
(Carnifex): You say, "About time we saw your pretty face."
(Carnifex): Argolis says, "Greetings, Comman.."
(Carnifex): You say, "Der."
(Carnifex): Argolis says, "Yes, a noise I'm used to hearing from you."

Weight shifting from bare foot to bare foot, Pearle grimaces beneath the bartender's smile, beneath your scalding reply, and beneath his own foolish rambling. "I've been betting five hundred on thirteen," he begins to say. Hurriedly, he takes another drink.
You have emoted: Moirean gives a slight smile as you gulp at the drink, before leaning a bit closer to confide, "Most people, they've a reason for what they pick and why." She gives her eyebrows a waggle, apparently quite proud of her insight, before she lets her coins trickle out of her hand to form a small pile on the felt, above the number "9". She then watches you expectantly, as if to divine great secrets about you from your next bet.
"It's -suppose- to be my lucky number, I guess," Pearle mutters, leaning across the bar to lay down some gold.
A dapperly dressed bartender winks at Pearle as he places a bet of 500 sovereigns on 13.
You have emoted: "Why?" Moirean pertly asks.
A dapperly dressed bartender says, "No more bets!" and gives the wheel a good spin. The ball begins to smoothly spin around the wheel.
The ball starts to bounce around wildly on the wheel, giving you no idea where it will stop.
The ball finally settles down on 13 (black).
A dapperly dressed bartender exclaims to Pearle, "We have a winner! You've won 17500 gold!"
You have emoted: Moirean blinks at Pearle in surprise. "Oh," she says. "That's why."
