^Secrets^
Quote:
This section is for things that are hidden in my journal. From time to time I will add a clue here to something that is hidden. Things are not always as they seem. Sometimes you see more IF the words are lighted in the proper way.
Secret #1:: "A rose by any other name is still a rose." Think about what this applies to.
Highlight the Tajnevaki post below to figure it out.
Secret #2:: Even if the title is in another language, the story is still the same.
Go to the Klju'c tajne post and highlight the title.
Secret #3:: What are secrets for? Find them.
Look for secrets right here, lol. XD
Secret #4:: A name is carefully picked even for a pet.
Look at Krimsa very carefully and you will find something hidden there.
Secret #5:: Rumors! Rumors! Rumors!
Rumors & Barmaids has a secret title.
Secret #6:: Ale abounds and plenty to go around!
Inebriated Inspriation has a hidden phrase and a link to a hidden pet for Jaster
Secret #7:: I know something you don't... Neener neener!
I absolutely adore the works of Lewis Carroll!
Secret #8:: Tajnevaki Part 4 has a Jaster comment hidden somewhere.
Neener Neener! You will have to find it.
Secret #9:: A lady hidden in a tree will be very special to Taj.
I guess you will have to find the tree.
Secret #10:: There is a voice of a different color hidden within J & D.
Look for his voice.
Secret #11:: There is a secret item and a secret name that have been placed within the journal.
Sorry, no clues. You will have to simply search for this one.
Secret #12:: A Quiet Moment can be more than expected.
It can also be A Lesson Learned. Look in the title.
Secret #13:: Krimsa has a meaning to his name. It is close to him.
Look in the critters section on this page.
Secret #14::
Secret #15:: .
**Just a note**
This was not my idea. I borrowed the idea from DareDelvil and his journal at ITL.
If you use it, please give Dare the credit for such.
My Tally
Most recent tally at top 12.30.10
Ivynian
Things get a little wackie with all the WIP going on with Page 10, but I accredited 1 pt for each of the joints that are started into being logged there.
Ending on page 10,
Joint // Solo
83 91
normal=60-75 solo, 60-75 joint
So you pass to youth with flying colours, and are in a really good place as far as being started towards attaining Deity.

JOINT SOLO
31 // 49
Ended Page 4 , some reserves there
I like my own writing=20-25 solo, 10-15 joint
Pass with flying colours. Many of your entries have good length, and you also had some really great response posts that really got into some meat about Taj and Jaster's thoughts about the goings-on of the plot. I always like reading reactionary posts and posts where the player uses the character to reason out the clues...in character. You've got a lot a of good brainstorming going on about the hints that have been given along the way, how Jaster himself would read them against the very character of Harmodius, and the conclusions he draws.

^ Story Index ^
Just a note.....
The dates I list here are the dates the story is finished. Not the date it is begun. It is my timeline also. Look for the page and post number to find the story as they are not all in order in the journal. The most recent is at the top with the earliest stories at the bottom of the listing. It's easier for me to keep this updated. It is still my timeline, just in reverse.
Gold was first tally, blue is second tally, green is current tally.

^Tajnevaki^
Personality: To understand his personality, his name must first be understood. His name can be broken down into two pieces: Tajne and Vaki. Tajne is a polish word for Mystery and since mysteries are his forte`, he thought it ironic that he called himself that. What is the Vaki, you ask? *laughs*
Vaki means nothing. It's only a simple distraction to hide what he is.
A playful feline that may be amused by a ball or bell in the open, but just as the feline’s eyes see more in the dark, so too does he. He can be loyal if he so chooses though he seldom gives a straight answer. Sometimes he will be seen with a simple smile on his face as he watches. At other times nothing is seen in his expression. But like cats, those he likes, he likes a long time. Those he does not, he seldom gives quarter. This aspect of his personality has not been truly seen yet and usually it is only his enemies who see such.
Taj merged with Jaster and with both so much alike, Taj has picked up some of Jaster's mannerisms. His host also has a son, Madrigal Araven, or a Mad Raven, as Taj calls him. Jaster barely had a chance to see his son, but Taj has become the boy's father in all aspects. There has been some trouble with Betting, the mother, and she blames Taj for her losing Jaster. It matters little to her that Jaster was in love with Cinderfae, Karaskis' host. Taj himself is involved with Karaskis.
His rooms at the Pantheon hold not only his own but also the people of the Lady of Fire. The rest of their followers are in the mortal mall nearby.
Not much is known of the God of Mystery before the fading. It may never be known. But since the fading, he has been actively trying to help rebuild what has been lost a second time.
His stone was found deep in a cavern in Jareth’s Labyrinth, a rather fitting place, by Jaster Renaude, the young man who became his host. Its coral shape perfectly fits the waterfalls he loves as well as the mazes and mysteries that follow him. After a conversation with Destruction in one of his various forms, that of a beautiful youth, Jaster carried the stone with him. With his friend Saljin, Jaster began a search for the Pantheon and gods that Destruction had told him of.
During the trip, Taj sent varied dreams trying to entice and pull that love of the hidden out in his host. Just after the first wave hit, Jaster unhesitatingly fused Mystery’s stone to the hollow on the right side of his collarbone.
As he found his way to the Pantheon, Taj via his host, found the older reborn gods facing a grigori named Samyaza who took the name of the Twin Crown causing Gehenna to begin. She also managed to gain Gaia’s arm and vanished while Mystery and others were left to cleanup the aftermath of her visit. Armed with information Taj and his host began looking for a way to help prevent Gehenna when both were pulled into space with Cinder, the host of Karaskis, Goddess of Fire and Eddard, the host of Eid, God of Oath. They were looking for the pieces collected by Panacea who had gone searching for the fragments of Aristogeiton and that were said to perhaps aid in restoration of the Twin Crown.
After finding information, dealing with various races and pirates, Mystery, Fire, and Oath managed to collect the opal necklace, the bones of a dragon, and a man named Faren. Faren and the bones were found to have fragments of Aristogeiton linked to them and all three items were brought back to the Pantheon and given to Nergal to be safeguarded with the ones he had found.
Since his return from space, Mystery has been working in the nearby forge jointly created by Laughter’s followers from Baadris, Oath, Fire, and himself while living from his rooms at the Pantheon. With the return of Creation, many of those, mortal or otherwise, have been found and pulled to the green of the Pantheon for protection. For now he is trying to help build up the stocks of weaponry knowing that the grigori will not sit idle long. All must be prepared for what is to come.
Mystery is silent- mute. He may write on a tablet or simply shrug his reply. Not even laughter passes his lips and the marking on his face speaks of such though others know not what it means. And he refuses to explain to even those closest to him- Saljin and Karaskis. In a private moment before Gehenna, Taj gave the Twin Crown a private name that perhaps could help to prevent such an event from happening again.
In the midst of such trouble, Mystery has become lover to Fire as Jaster was to Cinder, and gained an elven son in Madrigal Araven Renaude, his host’s biological son. The baby boy lives with him as does Karaskis at the Pantheon. Taj has promised to take care of the boy and Jaster’s friend Saljin. There is a cult of Zrathian sorcerors that hunt the shapeshifter. Mystery promised his host that he would take care of them and prevent whatever they try with Saljin. What happens remains to be seen.
Likes: To sit and watch before playing a prank leaving it unknown who did so. Wood carving. Mandarin silk shirts as well as the more old fashioned goth style from the Labyrinth. Quiet moments with Madrigal. Waterfalls and secret gardens. Collecting unusual books, items, and creatures. Likes space travel and seeing new worlds.
Dislikes: Nothing yet. Odd.

Features: As given by Ivynian for morph stage:
Taj got an upgrade!! Woot! He's now more feline like than ever, his wings larger and tail larger. His feet are clawed also.
beneath right eye is a series of light blue markings, his eyes are slit-pupil, Jaster's red hair has become mostly darked towards a deep indigo. He's got wings and a cat tail.
Confidentiality & Minor prescience
His powers got an update too with youth.
powers
Confidentiality is obfuscate upgraded. Using it he can, as before, mislead or misinform, leading odd information trails. However, now Mystery can invoke a ban on words or information in the mouths of others. If Mystery invokes this power, then the subjects could say, never directly talk about their home town. Directions to it would be impossible for them to utter, though they could talk AROUND the subject still. This is how mysteries, religious or otherwise, could be strictly enforced. It works for speaking, writing, music, any form of communication where one could reveal information to another.
Minor prescience - part of being a god of mysteries is being able to DISCOVER them. If a petitioned or supplicant wants to know about something and asks the god for guidance in revealing this mystery to them..and Taj IC knows nothing about it....then he can invoke this power much like an oracle, and have a chance to channel some real information about the subject. This information should be determined and arranged OOC with those whom it concerns, and should be altered into a suitably 'mysterious' and obscure oracle revelation. This power is minor, meaning nothing in depth would be revealed in such an oracle, and it may not always work (much like the Pythia), particularly if a stronger god has exerted power to block discovery.
Words, in as far as committing subterfuge. It isn't hiding or shadowing them as much as it is making ideas or answers hard to follow and discover....like really good con artists, politicians, etc.
Objects much the same, confuse the path to make them mysterious, strange, almost unattainable. "In plain sight, yet never seen"

^Jaster Konran^
Species: Half human and elven
Age: 17
Host Of: Tajnevaki
Gender: Male
Personality: Hurt, angry, determined to remain free of his father and the carnival. He's mischievous, but somewhat wary now of other people. A part of him is scared about what is going to happen to him. But to a true friend he'd be loyal once they prove their worth to him. He dislikes being patronized and treated as a child. He has been on his own since he was 11 and he's nearly 18 now, so he expects to be treated as an adult. He almost always has a secret smile or expression on his face though he will seldom explain what he is thinking.
Powers:
Never had a chance to really discover them, but they may be reflected in Madrigal.
Other Information:
History: His father has no use for him after his mother dies and decides to sell him to a carnival. The father pretends to take the boy there for some fun, but really takes money from the carnival owner to leave him there. Thinking quickly, the boy sets the animals loose as a distraction and runs away. Before he leaves he grabs a bag, shoving extra food and such in it. When he spots the orb, he shoves it inside, thinking to sell it later.
Saljin, the shape-shifter from the orb becomes not only his best friend, but also his guardian. He and Taj got along well. Jaster and Saljin lived in the Labyrinth for several years avoiding the human world, and explored it slowly. There are those who are after Saljin, Zrathian cultists, and periodically they show up causing trouble for Jaster and Saljin. He only returned when he heard rumors of the state the world was in and the problems began to trickle down into the Labyrinth.
Some time after he made it to the Pantheon and returned from space, Jaster and Tajnevaki found out that Jaster had a son. Madrigal Araven Renaude`. His mother Bettina lives in the mortal quarters but Madrigal lives with Mystery as a precaution for his safety.
Jaster extracted a few promises from Tajnevaki before he vanished, merged entirely into the god. One was to protect Madrigal and raise him as his son. The second was to protect Saljin from the Zrathian cultists and prevent them from trapping him. The other promises remain to be seen.
Truvin
Jaster's mount. An Erras. She is War ex-spirit. This equine does not talk or fly, but it can blink from world to world. To summon it, Jaster has a horn that cannot be heard except by Truvin. She appears whenever he needs her.
Originally gleaming white bone and polished silver, the horn is far from what it once was. With time, war, blood, and tarnish, the once shining horn has turned dark. It summons a creature not unlike it. The blood red gems are said to be blood rubies and worth a great deal though they will never be pried from their settings.
Truvin now belongs to Tajnevaki.

^Pantheon Room^
First Floor
Quote:
It is a very plain, looking like the door of a closet or attic or even basement. The first time someone opens his door, they would see a closet, an attic, or even the basement. All would have the proper things in place, mops and buckets, cobwebs, and shelves. Perhaps even boxes and old furniture. It would take a second time opening the door to find their way into his rooms, but in that first instant all would see what they expected to see of his room.
A large cave with high ceiling and darkness scattered here and there. The floor is a dark marble, nearly indigo with silvery striations through it, just enough to give it some glitter. Small gardens around the edges, open bedrooms that lead into the plants so that each room has access. Several small nooks filled with seats and couches for comfort as beds and other necessities shaped where needed.
It all spirals as it leads into the center where bookcases were naturally cut into the walls. Some tomes were already there. A large library formed at the heart to give quiet and comfort to any seeking the knowledge that Mystery has. A second set of stairs shaped in a corner and obscured from sight. There are secret doors that lead upwards to the second floor. A large kitchen is set up for the meals with enough tables for guests and entertaining. Curtains hang across the large opening that leads into a stone paved area complete with seating and tiered waterfall. There are a total of three such waterfalls, one in each corner of the cavernous room with an oni cavern in the fourth.
Another room, one hidden from all but the god. It will hold shelves of the oddities that he finds knowing they needed protection or simply safeguarding from the use of those who would misunderstand or abuse them. A stairway from the secret room down into a secret garden whre only Taj walks. No others would have access to it. Several baths are added in scattered for the ease and comfort of those living with them.
The oni cavern is off-limits to the average person and the oni guard it fiercely. It is dark, dank, and well suited to them.
Various animals are seen wondering about and there is a fairy grotto in the corner opposite the oni cavern. It has as small castle with the waterfall and tall lush plants surrounding it.
Second Floor
Quote:
The second floor rises upwards to nearly the top of the cavern-like room. The shape fits perfectly to the oddness of the floor below. More shelves line the walls and spaces within it. The curving walls leading to an opening where a workshop curves towards yet another room, Taj's bedroom. The workspace included several long benchlike tables against the walls for whatever he wants to do. Rhys, and a few others have access to the workshop also. Shelves for supplies were placed nearby. It all connects to the secret room beneath to allow for access to the room of oddities and to the private garden.
Taj's bedroom was large, spacious, and luxurious. A huge bed for comfort as well as a fireplace, nightstands, an area for bathing, and several large cushions on the floor for relaxing. The staircases themselves were entirely hidden from sight, the latter with a secret door laced into the front area for easy access to the second floor. Lady Karaskis shares it with Mystery.
A room at the side of his own for Madrigal, his son, with all the amenities that a child needs- toys, furniture, a space to play. A second room that descended from stairs allowed for a room for Siddhi-the boy's guardian- for her own pleasure and quiet moments. Next to Madrigal's room, is a room for Rhys, Cinderfae/Karaskis' son. Then a third room for Clotho who is guardian to Rhys. A secret doorway from the small hallway to his and Kara's bedroom would allow them to spend time together easily.
The ceiling over the entire second floor was open. It was as if the architect had simply forgotten the roof there. The first floor does have ceilings over all the rooms.
Arctang, the God of Numbers, resides in a room on this floor also. See Arctang's journal for description.

:: Restaminthrybal ::
Quote:
Rybal or Minth as she is often called, is mysterious. Her claim to fame is that she is Labyrinth Master of Mystery's Labyrinth. She has many forms. For those expecting to see a riddlesome sphinx, that is what they will see. For those uncertain, her form will vary with the person. Even more than one person together may see different images of her. None know her true form except the gods and perhaps a few choice aoide. She prefers to remain elusive and only those who reach the end of the labyrinth will earn her respect.
One of her favorite forms is that of the shadow fiend sprite covered in runes. She is usually tricking someone unworthy whenever she is in this shape. Few understand it is her, but be wary whenever she is seen.
She is typically tied to the Labyrinth. What would the place be without its master as guests arrive at all hours of the day and night. When she is in Taj's temple and serving him directly, she prefers the more humanoid shape she has than the others.
.
::Excentrique & Pretzel::
Quote:
Excentrique is rather an innocent in most ways. She is very lighthearted and funny at times. Taj found her again when he was in space. She helped them with some information but had been looking for him. The staff and flask she carried for a long time as part of her defense. The flask itself contains nothing, but some bubbling liquid that seems to be potent. She threatens with it if needed, but it does absolutely nothing.
The staff is another matter. It contains a creepy little creature named Pretzel. Pretzel was once a demon of sorts or perhaps just a spirit that wished ill upon all. He resorted to corrupting and killing innocents before the fading. Something happened and though most is unknown, Taj sealed him to the staff. When Triq found him, he coaxed her into taking him with her, but he's very mean and hurtful most of the time to her, calling her names and constantly badgering her. At the moment, Pretzel thinks that he will never be free of the staff because Taj has no voice. Unkown to him, he can be broken free the proper way. None know the solution, and Taj is not saying.

::Mirshu & Rasmus::
Quote:
Mirshu is the quieter of the two and spends alot of time with his cat, Jack. Little is known of either Rasmus or Mirshu whether before they became undead or after their zombification. ((Is that a word? LOL No clue. )) They room with the undead aoide named Shyam who serves Lady Karaskis. They are usually found greeting guests and away from the kitchens and food.
::Siddhi::
Quote:
Siddhi appeared just after Lord Harmodius was returned. With her four arms, she is more than capable of taking care of Jaster/Taj's son, Madrigal. She is very capable and protective. In fact, her name means "Protector", and Taj put her in charge of Maddie's needs entirely. She does not get along well with Bettina, Madrigal's mother and puts the boy's needs ahead of his mother's. She can be fierce when protecting him though usually she remains rather calm.
Krimsa The name is backwards. He is A Smirk
Quote:
It's not really known where Krimsa came from.
He simply lives with them and sits in Taj's lap from time to time to be petted.
Maybe more will be told later though there is a secret for his name
but you will have to look for it. It is nearby.

Elven

Age: 125 (immortal)
Gender: Male
Quote:
Personality: He can be possessive of something he has or wants, but in the end if it's not his, he will move on. He would fight if backed into a corner. He's the type who would pretend to having fun when first arriving at a party only to slip away and sit, just listening to the sounds as everyone else enjoys themselves. He put in his appearance. Not entirely a loner, but not a true joiner either. He finds his own secret amusement in the actions of others. Silent, sad, brooding most of the time.
Powers: Shapeshifter. He can study shapes and take them. It takes the use of them several times before he has a full grasp on the form.
Other Information: Markings: black/violet tattoo on back of right hand
Typically wears dark gray silk shirt, loosely laced in front, Black vest, bright blue embroidered accents with darkgray lining, black pants, black and silver boots. Ears are pointed like elves, wears a silver chain and cuff in right ear with a bright blue sapphire stud below Silver ring with black & blue swirled stone on index finger of right hand. If he played a prank, it would be an impulse of the moment and more fun based than malicious, though he's not beyond doing something hurtful to someone he dislikes intensely.
Jaster and Puck were his best friends, but with Taj appearing, he sees as much Jaster there as Taj so he will remain. He had a fling with Excentrique and Felista, who had Kayan, his daughter, but he loves Delphine and plans to marry her. He has learned to survive no matter what is thrown his way. His immortality came about with the curse of Zrath, a sorceror who binds those with power to him in a way they can never break free of what he makes of them.
Saljin's father interrupted the ritual to turn his son into a shapeshifting monster at Zrath's beck and call. It cost him his life but Saljin managed to escape. Ending up in the Labyrinth, Saljin became friends with Puck until the fairy did something that Saljin took the blame for. Ending up in one of Jareth's orbs, Saljin was stolen by Jaster. They have been together since.

A barmaid that spend the night with Jaster in fun as her sister Felista did with Saljin. She fell head over heels in love with Jaster though her sister did not with Saljin. She had a very rough time being pregnant as well as having understood that Jaster is becoming Taj. She is not a good mother to Madrigal but instead tries to use him against Taj. The god quickly saw thru that and he has no patience with her. She is bitter and only sees her own needs. She will probably end up doing something desperate to get control of her son which likely will lead to trouble.
A barmaid that spent a night with Saljin, Felista is fun-loving and understanding. She left with Puck when things got bad in the Labyrinth looking for the shifter for protection. She currently is Kayan's mother and Saljin likes to spend time with both of them. She does understand Saljin's love for Delphine and she does nothing to interfer with it. She and Delphine have actually become friends instead of enemies they might have been. At a loss about her sister's attitude, she has increased the distance between them.

A barmaid that spend the night with Jaster in fun as her sister Felista did with Saljin. She fell head over heels in love with Jaster though her sister did not with Saljin. She had a very rough time being pregnant as well as having understood that Jaster is becoming Taj. She is not a good mother to Madrigal but instead tries to use him against Taj. The god quickly saw thru that and he has no patience with her. She is bitter and only sees her own needs. She will probably end up doing something desperate to get control of her son which likely will lead to trouble.

^Critters^
This is where the critters will be. Some are those that he has collected for one reason or another. The rest have come to him by their own choices. Not sure where all fit in yet, but for now this is their listing. They can all be found in his rooms at the Pantheon in the garden or cave that is part of his rooms.

^Items^
I'm not entirely certain where or how Jaster/Tajnevaki gain these things yet. I just know they are theirs. I'll figure it out.
Shell Pendant
Jaster found this carved shell pendant in the cavern where he found Tajnevaki's stone.
He's unsure why it was there, but Taj later gives it to Jenga.
Whether it was already hers or he simply gave her a gift, is yet to be discovered.
Bottle of Poison
Not sure about this one yet. When I am, I will finish filling this in.
Jar of Eyes
These have a specific name, but it's unknown at this time.
Jaster dreams of these before he finds them.
Still not sure what their purpose is to Tajnevaki.
Redheart Lotus
Taj carved this and gave it to Harmy-pod along with a secret name.
Vial of Blood
Taj found this in his oddity room, but has no idea where it came from. He is certain that the owner will show up to claim it sooner or later.
Shaman Staff
Taj found this in his oddity room. Why it was there, he has no clue. But he does think that it will be useful at some point in the future.
Crystal Hearts
Taj gave these to Karaskis for Valentine's Day 2010. They were her colors.
Daemon Orb from the Labyrinth
Who knows what this will be. It has a strange wolf marking in the center. Saljin and Puck know it came from Jareth's Labyrinth.
Chest for Kios
Taj gave this to Kios to hold his parchment and writing utensils. He liked the boy and thought it suited him.
Atomizer of Laughing Gas
A bottle of potent laughing gas that Lisana sent to Taj. She sent one out to all the gods.

Quote:
The Athenia was captured and boarded by the more numerous Diswes Corsairs, a pirate band some twenty vessels strong. The Corsairs were roaming for new territory and encountered the Athenia by chance. The Diswes Admiral, Tybalt, determined it was worth it to him to lose some ships and men in order to take the Athenia (less mouths to feed for great profit). The band now numbers twelve vessels.
In the time since the battle, the Diswes have been getting what bounties are still available in the chaos and selling the rest as slaves or goods. Panacea was sold off to a penal coloy to serve as their physician. Faran, the basket of bones, and the pendant all remain on the Diswes flagship, Squalldancer. Tybalt fancies the pendant, having not see its like before. The demand for engineers is mostly limited to warring states, but the Diswes have not visited any yet. The original bounty for Faran was 100,000 gp, or equivalent notes.
The Diswes are suspisicious of approach out of port, but they regularly visit the air city of Delta Centra to trade.
The order of these requirements is not set, fulfil them in whatever order works:
once that is all decided:
Huzzah, now the pieces are recovered, even if panacea is not.

Stage 2 - Morph
The morph is the second stage. It will replace the jewel in the owner's signature, showing the begining chrysallis of merging between the jewel soul power and the soul of the owner. This process may be interpretted as painful, not painful, fast, slow, whatever, depending on the jewel.
-At this stage, the deity is either in process of destroying the hosts mind/soul, is trying to merge with the hosts mind to try to keep some shard of them alive, or maybe some other option. Talk it over with me if you have a fun idea.
-At this stage, deities are not reborn yet. Abilities of the host are still partially usable/manifest. Abilities of teh deity are basic at best. Maybe one small magic is available to them, and not with great control over it. And example of this would be a water deity being able to fill a glass of water, and that's all.

Stage 3 - Youth
A "youth", the third stage of the Edelsteine, is the deity reborn. This means that everything is now the deity's. It is their mind, their body, and their soul now.
-the original host character, provided they have not been destroyed by the deity, only exists as a whisper, a conscience, or a voice in the mind of the deity. None of their powers remain. They cannot control the body. They were sacraficed for the rebirth of the deity, and if they still exist in that smallest sense, it was only at the desire of the immortal whom is beyond their puny mortal comprehension. Maybe a mannerism of the host, such as sucking on their hair, or liking the color blue, is still apparent. But not much beyond that. -These creatures have minor powers associated with their fields of influence.
-These creatures are NOT AT THEIR FULL STRENGTH. A youth deity is a deity with no followers, no beleivers, no influx of any human regard to return them to their full glory and power. Just as lack of followers or cult is what made them forgotten and killed them, it is what keeps them from becoming great and powerful again.

Stage 4 - Diety
The final and rarest stage of the Edelsteine. The powers of this stage will be listed on the cert next to the fully individual art of the character. At this stage, a player may pursue building their Temple.
-It is not a necessary stage of development, however if acheived the deity is at full strength. They can influence the world in major way. (please not this doesn't give any player the right to kill another player's character without consent.)

Deity candidates must have gathered 40 followers or more to their banner via the plushie system. For every extra 2 plushies over 40, 1 point of either joint or solo post can be gained. There is a limit to 30 points (+60 plushies) to be gained in this manner.
Candidates must have at least three commissions from outside artists. These can be informal, from a friend, sketchs or pictures.
Candidates must have created at least 5 works in glory of their edel. These many be pictoral, prose, poetry, or the like.

Info For Zrath for my use...
People of the Midnight Hex
Rhayan Enclave -- founded 100 years ago by a dark and powerful lord, the wizard Zrath. Through guile, murder, intrigue, and magic, Zrath created a cabal like society of wizards. Eventually he lost power, but for nearly 100 years, the Hexes conducted experiments and rituals involving potent curses, some designed for control over others, and some simply no other reason than they could.
Saljin was one such created for no reason other than they could. The son of a rich man who refused to serve Zrath. The man was murdered but they didn't stop there. Saljin was cursed as Zrath thought it might be interesting to control him. Instead Saljin barely escaped with his life into the underground, a place Zrath dared not follow. Puck befriended him almost immediately. He was punished for something that Puck did and Jareth turned him into an orb, knowing that Saljin had done nothing wrong. It was a lesson for Puck about friendship and what should or should not be done. Saljin is the only one who has ever escaped from Zrath and whether it was luck on his side or divine providence, noone knows.
It's rumored that the Hexes take their victims at midnight, hence the name, People of the Midnight Hex. Their symbol is a black clawed hand that appears to have dark magic rising from the fingertips and they leave the marking behind on the wall of their victims' bedrooms. The curse on Saljin's hand is black, clawed but almost birdlike. The shapes he shifts to easiest are ravens, crows, and panthers. He believes it's linked to the shape of the runic curse.
The wizards have the ability to blend into shadows should they wish to for a short period of time. They have the ability to cast a temporary curse upon a person. Only Zrath can make it permanent so they would take their victims to him. Once the curse is permanent there is no way out of Zrath's order except by death. Saljin's curse was never entirely completed. He doesn't say, but something happened that allows him to access the curse shifting as he wishes but he does not follow the orders of Zrath. The process was interrupted and Saljin received the benefits without the unblindingly fanaticism that all Zrath's followers have.
It was thought they died out, but there are those who bear a marking not unlike Saljin's. It's rumored that Zrath's true curses carry immortality with them. Saljin has lived a long time but whether he is immortal or not, he does not know nor really care. He lives day to day. It is also rumored that Saljin is the only one who has shown the longevity that Zrath is looking for. He will do anything to get Saljin back to him so he can figure it out for use on himself. Right now Zrath reinforces himself with spells each and every day never leaving his base of operations. That is still hidden for the moment, but this is also why he adhers to getting such strict control over his minions. He has a fatal weakness because the spells take a great deal of his power to cast as well as leaving him tired and at risk afterwards.
Their abilities include:
Blending into shadows twice a day.
Casting a minor curse in a minute.
Casting a medium curse in 3 minutes.
Casting a strong curse in 7 minutes.
All can use basic dark magics including the darker more destructive nature of the elemental magics. They never use holy magic at all.
A minor curse will paralyze their victim and cause them to do whatever they wish him to until the next day unless he's taken and the curse reinforced in his permanent induction to their society. They don't take just anyone though. They carefully process and watch their prey so that they remain unseen.
If a spell is interrupted, they are disoriented for a short time depending on the strength of the spell they were casting. Losing control of a spell is costly. So they will often have one distract while another casts to keep an advantage.
Interruption penalties:
Minor curse 3 minutes
Medium curse 7 minutes
Strong curse 15 minutes
Anything more than that and they may be down for an entire day. This is not D&D, but more in the way of limits on what they can and cannot do.
Rasim - Master of Curses. He can do several strong curses a day before he cannot manage magic.
Thorvin - Minor Curse. He has just been taking as an apprentice to Rasim and knows little more than a slowing spell.
Here starts the beginning of the end. The name of the crown is gone, and the form of the crown is now developing into the creature called Gehenna. This will take some time, and the weeks left to what exists are on a schedule. This can be stopped prior to the opening of the chrysalis, or even after if the players gather and are creative. If nothing is achieved, the Edelsteine game will end.
The schedule begins now, with the first phase starting on friday, and it will end 13 weeks from then (or about 3 months). Each week will have a focus influence/power or event that would indicate to scholars and seers precisely what was going on. Each Week begins with the breaking of one of the great windows in the Throne hall, and the sounding of a great unseen(currently) trumpet.
1 July 4th – The week of Sloth –
The wave has hit, and all that Is reacts mostly in despair. Mortals are lethargic, listless, certain of the end and only mourning or wailing. The lethargy is a spirit that pervades even the strongest hearts, even the gods. While the gods may be able to get themselves moving, this week the difficulty to muster the energy in the overwhelming face of doom should be evident. How this manifests depends on character, some may be snarky, others just quiet and reserved. Why do anything?
2 July 11th – The week of Envy –
Surrounded by filth, those few shining things left are now something to covet. If the end is coming, everyone wants to spend the last days with the small comforts of the last treasures, whatever they may be. Fights may be brewing.
3 July 18th – The week of Lust –
As oft comes before an end, envy has turned to lust. Covetousness has become free fraternizing and theft in order to do so. Mortals and immortals alike, yearning for some last comfort or endorphins, are indulging in all manner of carnal pursuit.
4 July 25th – The week of Greed –
Whereas before it was to enjoy the last treasures, now the corruption has progressed to just possessing them, whether or not they are being used or enjoyed. Gather all that you can and hoard, for it is yours, in these last days, and that may be all that matters. That something, other then life, was yours.
5 August 1st – The week of War –
From all the brewings of the proceeding weeks, now sparks the battles for the last treasures: land, food, water, resources, people, money, whatever it is. Some have and others have not, and there will be strife to determine who will have in the end.
6 August 8th – The week of Plague –
War is always followed by sickness. It is a dirty business, and carrion and blood breed sickness. So do siege and weapons themselves. Those not killed in the battle often fall to the disease that comes after.
7 August 15th – The week of Famine –
So many are dead, and so much is destroyed. What crops there were have been mostly destroyed, the remaining ones have not enough hands to tend them. Those that still live wane, bones poking at the thin covers of their flesh.
8 August 22nd – The week of Decay –
So many bodys, sickness, and filth everywhere, and yet also the blight extends to those last remaining plants that destroyed and over grew. Everything is falling apart rapidly into dust or rot. Everything is becoming a great wasteland, stinking and foul.
9 August 29th – The week of Hell –The so called dimensions of ‘hell’, where demonic races dwell, are forced open and merged one-on-one with the current planes. They may or may not be happy for this development.
10 September 5th – The week of ‘Paradise’ –
This is the quiet before the storm. The ebbs of chaos seem to have ceased. The tremors in the fabric of what Is have quieted. Perhaps the storm is over and has bee averted? Those who remain are cofused, irresponsibly euphoric. But for all that it is paradise, the stars are swallowed, one by one, and the sky is gone.
11 September 12th – The week of Air –
The storm comes. This is the start of the reversal of the creation of the planes. Raging winds blast the planes, air turns sour and choking, or disappears altogether and suffocates some.
12 September 19th – The week of Water –Again, the second stage of the reverse of the creation of the planes. Water floods or is drunk up by the earth with no trace.
13 September 26th – The week of Fire –
The parched earth is all that is left, and what hasn’t been parched, drowned, suffocated or blown away is now scorched and purified. Everything that Is …..is a plane of blank ash.
Final day October 3, 2008 – The day of Terra – The great plane of Gaia, mother, is raped, devastated and cracked by the Void.
Nothing is left. It is over.
