== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding. She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her '''Aspect of [[Weaver]]''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed '''[[Abe]]''' but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: '''[[The Weaver's Geasa]]''' 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by '''[[Katrana]]''')
# To write, of the past and the present (given by '''[[Aoide]]''')
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by '''[[Wish]]''').

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well)

'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes.

===Ebrithil===
 
The Ebrithil are an elite group of chosen elements representing the Keepers as a whole, 
making important decisions and arrangements, and seeing to the affairs of the following as 
needed. They are also in charge of dealing with any possible recruits before DarkClaw meets 
with them, both answering and asking questions, as well as observing the interested party. 

Each member of the Ebrithil is responsible for upholding the laws and vision of the following 
both as an individual, and also as a member of a team. They will each be responsible to adhering 
to the vows that he or she spoke of upon acceptance into the council, which are as follows: 

"I stand before you and beside you, Keepers of the Elements." 
"The vows I speak now I uphold till the end of time." 

"By the power of Fire, I bring protection and strike down those who oppose us." 
"In honor of the Earth, I give you grounding, solidarity and balance." 
"In the name of Air, my guidance, knowledge and wisdom are yours." 
"With the grace of water, may I show you growth and opportunity." 
"And as one with the Spirit, I offer you peace and divinity." 
"I bring strength, honor, passion, devotion and support as my oath." 
"I am Ebrithil, Master of the Elements. May I serve the Keepers well." 

<nowiki>***</nowiki> Side note on the Ebrithil 
I had chosen the following mortals to make up the Ebrithil, as they had each shown the above 
qualities to us on a continuing basis. There were others that deserved to be recognized as well, 
but I felt that I should offer it to the oldest Keepers first, as long as they each possessed 
what the Ebrithil represents. In addition, ordained Keepers of the Elements were automatically 
inducted into the Ebrithil. These people did not all serve during the same timeframe.

==Original Immortality Petition==
Dear Immortals, 
 
In lieu of Solaron’s retirement, I am re-petitioning for Immortality here on TFC. Forgive me for sounding redundant if I repeat anything that I included in my last petition, please. I have thought long and hard about this the past few days. As some of you know, I have had several immortals over the years (elsewhere), and I mulled over whether I should re-petition or not, not because I didn’t think I was capable, or because I didn’t want to… but I wondered if I should step back and let someone else have a chance that hasn’t had the opportunity of immortality at all. But then I thought…I’ve been here a long time. I’ve put a lot of effort and time into TFC. Why shouldn’t I? If that sounds greedy or self-centered, I apologize. TFC was my first MUD, aside from BBS-based MajorMUD. It has been “home” to me for over 11 years now (I started sometime in 1995) and always will be. It holds a lot of memories and has helped me make many friends throughout the years. Regardless of how much we tell ourselves that it’s “just a game”, it’s a little more than that. It’s a way for us to experience achievement, growth, guidance, knowledge and more…without having to worry about real life repercussions. It’s a way to be ourselves without having to worry about rejection or humility. It’s a place to “escape” to from the troubles of reality. 
 
I have had many characters over the years on TFC, some bigger, some smaller. While my knowledge of the realm lacks considerably compared to some (just being honest), I have still managed to make it to level 50, to learn how to escape from PK’ers, have been an ordained, and I feel I have mastered the “art of neutrality”. *snicker* But I think that’s because of my being so neutral in real life. 
 
I honestly can’t think of an incident where I would’ve had disciplinary action taken against any of my characters. I try to abide by the rules as much as possible anywhere I go. It’s not necessary to break the rules to have fun, and it takes away from the enjoyment of others as well. Rules are set in place for good reason. 
 
I feel that I would be a good candidate for immortality for several reasons. I respect everyone, regardless of who they are, what they believe in, or what their standing is, both IRL and IC. I believe in communication and compromise, and am adamant about working as a team. (Why do I feel like I’m applying for a job? Hehe.) And I also believe in interacting with the mortals on a daily basis. It makes it more enjoyable for everyone, in my opinion, and it also gives them a sense of security knowing someone is there to listen if need be. People like me and look up to me. I don’t know why, but they do. Perhaps because I listen and show compassion. I have always been a source of “grounding” and I have a knack for being a peacekeeper. On the downside, I am also well aware of the fact that I am way too nice. It is a weakness that I have been trying to overcome over the years and am slowly making progress with. I have always tried bringing players to TFC throughout the years, and have also done what I could to convince those thinking about leaving not to. TFC has undergone a lot of change. It is far different from when I started. But change is necessary. And it is still a great place to play, regardless of what anyone else might think. They just need to give it a chance and mold themselves to those changes. I will continue to do what I can where I can in any way to help TFC. 
 
The mortals that will vouch for me are as follows: Ghazkull (UA), Vaalgamon (UA), Miressa and Belsambar. Immortal: Isolas. 
 
Following Idea: 
Name: Keepers of the Elements 
Premise: The four elements of nature (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) are the very foundations of creation and the basis of life itself. They link mortals to nature, the Heavens and the Divine. 
* The Earth is the essence of Change, Balance, and Physical Healing. The Earth signs, of course, would be our healers.
* Air is the essence of Intelligence, representing Advancement, Influence of Children, Volunteer and Civic Services and Achievement. The Air signs would be our Authority Figures, those that the others would look up to.
* Fire is the essence of Strength and Defense. It represents Power, Courage, Aggression, Combat, Confrontation, War and Justice. They would be our Protectors and Killers (There is a fine line between those two sometimes.).
* Water is used for dealing with such matters as Emotion, Opportunity, Travel, Religion, Growth and Self-Improvement. The Water signs would be our Helpers, those that assist in individual growth.
* The Spirit is the compilation of all four elements, those who have mastered all aspects of the elements and are absolved of their sins because of this, setting them apart from everyone else. This would be my Ordained.
 
As for alignment, I see it more as a neutral following but I would be willing to go whatever alignment the current Immortals feel is needed the most, as I believe that this premise would be able to work on many different levels. 
 
Finally, I wish to thank you all for your time and consideration in this matter, as well as for everything you do for TFC. This MUD has indeed made my life much more tolerable and enjoyable over the years. Regardless of your decision, I look up to each of you. 
With much love and respect,

===Party Time!: April 30, 2009===
(Taken from the KOTE Forums) 
In honor of Tynian (and his wish for one, hehe), KotE is going to
throw a party for the big Dwarf in the sky! I want everyone to
work on gathering party items (cakes, ice cream, drinks, dancers-
hehe, whatever you can think of). All of these items must be held
ON YOUR PERSON! This means that I will not take them. I don't have
the room for all of them, nor would I be able to keep everyone's things
separate successfully.

On the afternoon of Saturday, May 16th, we are going to try and meet up
with Tynian on the mud to do all of this. There is a chance that it won't
work out, as his schedule is quite unpredictable, but this sounds like the
best chance. So everyone has till then to collect and work on presents!
We will be holding the party and offering sacrifices to Tynian in the
Dwarvenhold Temple.

Why gather all these items, you say? Because...there WILL be prizes...
two of them. One prize will be for the most number of party-related
items gathered by one person. The other prize will be for the sacrifice
(or present, if you will) that pleases Tynian the most!

PLEASE do not let word of this party get out to any non-KotE individuals,
including Tynian. That would spoil all the fun! Thanks and good luck!

== Mud Contributions: ==
* Nicholai is acknowledged and respected as the Eldest of the mortal Kindred yet remaining within the world.
* Nicholai is a member of the [[TFC Explorers Society]] twice over, having discovered the Tenayuka and Quelesta's Maze.

 

== Current Description: ==
Before you stands a sorcerer clad in black. His age indiscernible at a glance,
his Elven frame appears strong and youthful but a cold, expressionless face and
piercing blue eyes hint at a wealth of wisdom lost in an eternity of darkness
and pain. His pale complexion contrasts the few Moorish teak strands of hair
that stray from under his dark hood and fangs are barely noticeable behind
closed lips, rarely breaking to smile. About him flows a cape of pure darkness,
once a symbol of the Ordinus Nosferatu, a mark of the kindred, now a relic of
an ancient time and a warning to this realm that he is perhaps the eldest,
the last remaining of the original kindred to walk among them, and should be
feared and respected as such. Close to his heart and hidden from view he keeps
a token of love given to him by a little girl as a reminder of what is most
important in this life, and that perhaps there is hope in the darkness.
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.
Nicholai is in perfect health.

===Prior Desc, date unknown===
Before you stands a Sorcerer clad in black. Around his neck hangs a pentagram softly shedding a red aura. Chills run up your spine as you meet the gaze of his sapphire blue eyes shining with intelligence and a hint of insanity. The fresh blood on his lips contrasts his pale complexion, while the fangs barely showing through his evil grin warns you to stay away. 
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye. 
Nicholai is in perfect health.

== Character History: ==
In his mortal life Nicholas De Brabant stumbled upon the realm of The Final Challenge as a young Elf learning the ways of Magick. Lacking in strength he struggled his way on sheer will and intellect. In his travels, he encountered a stunning yet dark and mysterious woman. She introduced herself as [[DarkClaw]] and flashed a fanged grin. Enchanted by this dangerous beauty, he followed her to her lord, the Master vampire [[Khore]]. He embraced the Darkness and its power and was welcomed into the [[Kindred Vampyric]]. In his new existence as Nosferatu, calling himself Nicholai and choosing the title Akhkharu (Sumerian for Vampire), he has strived to gain in strength and knowledge of Magick. To know all, to be all, with the Darkness his home, the Blood his life, and the Kin his strength, he has come a long way, but still has far to go... 
Basically a loner, Nicholai tends to shy away from public view. He holds no contempt for others who would leave him or his Kin be. If you should find him in your area, chances are he is not hunting you, unless you have given him reason. He values friendship greatly, and would risk his life for his kin or close friends. His loyalty surpasses even his heart, but he does take betrayal seriously. Within the Kindred, Nicholai is closest to [[Combee]], perhaps the Kindred who understands Nicholai the most. His closest friend amongst mortals is [[Corri]], her free spirit and undying youth intrigues him.

===Nicholai's Solitude===
(Writing Contest entry, January 16th, 2014. "Capture a specific moment, place, or person of this world." ) 
The wind howls as it sweeps past the western wall of the keep, turned away with stubborn indifference by stone laid ages ago. Once a testament to the strength and hope of the people, now a relic weathered by the tests of time in a land wrought with decay and misery. Do not seek me within those cold towers, you will not find me there. Despite my callous and stoic demeanor I prefer a different kind of solitude high up in the branches of an ancient tree, an oasis of life amidst a world seething with death. It just feels more like home as I remember it, if my memory is to be trusted, having spend many a day in my youth amongst the branches of Loth-Llorien. From here I forget the passing of time as the sun rises and sets, lost in my own thoughts. The townsfolk below carry on, almost trance-like, with their mundane lives from birth unto death. It all seems so pointless yet they persist seemingly unaware of their fate. It is of no matter to me, I cheated death in return for this permanent existence, and in that choice I remain. Feelings like hope, joy, and love seem so distant like the faded words in a child’s diary long forgotten on dusty shelf. Where they ever real? Or just the delusions of youth? As I glance at the initials carved long ago in the wood I am reminded of the love once shared here, something that has kept this place untouched by the blight and is perhaps a source of hope. It is in fact a pleasant tree. A slight smile barely parts my lips as I recall the first mention of it, an amusing and innocent misunderstanding of pleasantry that became truer with the time she spent here. I scan the branches for any sign of her, perhaps a petal I may have missed, a memento of hope, or a grain of sand having voyaged by boot from the far off desert. What was it that caused her to seek me out? Questions at first an annoyance, bringing me out of my conscious slumber like a waking limb, thrusting me into a story not of my own making, but one in which I would play a role. Now it is her absence I find frustrating, though I would not admit it, I miss the to-a-fault politeness, the almost questions, and the way a simple greeting becomes an epic tale in true bard fashion. When she had asked if I craved her blood I told her I did not. That may have partly been a lie, while it did not taste like almonds to me, there was a sweetness, an alluring innocence and purity that in my younger years would have stirred the fiery passion within my still heart and I do not deny that the thought to indulge it had crossed my mind. But there was something else, an inner strength and power, a potential yet untapped for this desert rose. A potential far greater left to grow, nurtured, guided. Perhaps I will end up corrupting her, or she corrupting me. The future holds more secrets than can be wrung out of the present, and time has always been on my side. So for now I remain here in my solitude, lost in my own thoughts and waiting for the page to turn. Perhaps there is no hope, save for the few who seek its light, but even they ultimately succumb to the darkness.

===Nicholai Noir===
[ 6] Crunch: * Nicholai Noir *
Sun Jan 25 11:51:57 2015
To: all
I wanted to give me Goddess, DarkClaw a gud wine. So Baron Marel's son
and a few workerz teach me how to make it. Why Nich, you may ask?
Well, he is Vintage. But most important, he is Elf. Duh!

Ingredienz:
5 dropz Nicholai blood; red grapez; grape stomper; wine yeast; egg

Directionz:
Scream HELP! over Ftell or other public channel. Wait for a Nicholai
to run to you. Feign distress in a very dark mine shaft. When he lookz
for a large alien mutant zombie rat you swear is after you, grab his hand
and stab his elfy pinky by accident. I know - not an elf toez, but itll do.
Squeez blood dropz into vial, then RUN away superOgurfast, before he
*** ANNIHILATES *** you. Shout, Sorry! Hide out in the Void for a bit,
just in case. Next, pick grapez in Vineyard (eatz worker, or 2, for energy).
Squish grapez (and a grape stomper for extra Oomph) into vat and add yeast.
Add Nich dropz. When wine is dark red, pour in barrel, and let sit a few munthz.
Siphon goo and gunk floating on top. So much work, take a break in Fens mud
puddle. After wine "rests" for munth, add egg white to absorb tannin (what
ever that is). Pour wine into bottlz and cork em. Cheerzzz!

Servz: Kindred Goddess , plus 1 or 2 Kindred guest. OR 1 drunk Ogre chef.
Optional serving suggestion: 3 inebriated dwarf or 4 DUI gnomz.
Bonus pointz for: 7 FUI Aaraz (Everyone knowz drunk birdy crash into tree
and window. Free entertainment and ogurlishus snack drool).

===mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain===
<worn on body> (Powerful magic) mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain
Long Description: These robes of enchanted black elven chain were a gift from Chyld to Sire.

'''Look Chain:'''
Enchanted to shift from potent solidity to mist, mirroring its wearer, these
sorcerous robes are made of the highest quality elven chain. Each link is an
ebon-black, protecting the wearer from being revealed by the reflection of a
light upon the metal. Supple and fluid, this robe was made by a master smith,
for it flows like fabric but protects like the finest armor. Each link has a
serpentine scale-like shape, hinting at the sinuous grace and strength of an
ancient dragon.

'''Look Mist:'''
Cool mist shrouds the hem of this garment, flicking outward in sinuous tongues
of gray vapor, erasing every footprint and trace of passage by he that dons it.
Faint shapes appear here and there within the mist, winged and ethereal, their
whispering voices bringing word of the speaking of a Name.
 

===a tiny daisy protected within a glass band===
Worn: <worn on finger> (Artifact magic) a tiny daisy protected within a glass band
Long Description: A band of glass encloses and protects a tiny daisy from ever fading.

'''Look Band Glass''':
Sand struck by lightning creates a unique form of glass - whether the
bolts are called down by storm or by song, the end result is the same.
Gathered and brought to the mage-smiths of Kharad-Delving, melted and
reformed, it has been shaped into a ring that protects and encloses a
tiny daisy. The design of the band has a childlike simplicity to it:
no fancy bezels or ornate gems. On the inside curve of the glass ring,
words have been carved in in flowing desert script:

. "Moments of joy and hope last as long as you let them."

'''Look Daisy''':
It was an impulsive gesture to reach out and connect with one she admires that
prompted Samiyah to pick this tiny daisy. Its humble simplicity looked out of
place in the pale hand of the Eldest when it was given but its message was one
that was heartfelt: Hope need not fade. Bright moments of joy are not lessened
by time, if the heart and soul are open to them. Now, that same bloom has been
given a home within a frame of glass to preserve its message for always.

'''Look Flower Hope''':
Studying the daisy, you see a ghostly reflection of it within the glass. Or
perhaps it is not a reflection, but a captured ghost of a flower given at a
time when both the one giving and the one receiving needed a reminder: Hope
exists, no matter how dark the night.

'''Look Storm Song'''
A crystal clear vision appears into your mind, sweeping across your senses
like a desert wind. Samiyah stands upon the soft desert dunes of her home,
a thundering sky above her. Hands raised high, she sings to the storm: the
answer is a series of three lightning bolts raining down from the heavens,
as electric blue as the eyes of the one for whom she is crafting a gift.

'''Look Keywords:'''
Object Keywords: daisy flower glass band
Restring Keywords: Band Glass | Daisy | Flower Hope | Storm Song | Keywords

Crafted as part of the Nicholai Project, in deep respect for the Eldest,
Nicholai, from one proud to name him friend.

===flowing umanori hakama of ebon Yochlol silk===

Long Description: These wide-legged silk pants would allow complete freedom of movement.

Look umanori hakama silk
The fabric of these hakama is thick and luxurious: a heavy black silk that is
pleasingly soft to the touch yet oddly resistant to puncture or tear. Crafted
from the rarest fabric - Yochlol silk, only obtainable by the Goddess Cordir,
when She scolds the demon in spider form sufficiently to obtain its weaving -
the wearer would have full freedom of movement. They are cut generously, with
no restrictive seams that would prevent one from, say, kicking an opponent in
the head, or climbing a tree at a near sprint. All while looking ridiculously
fashionable, at the same time.

Look Yochlol
As your fingers slide over the silk fabric, an odd image slips into your mind,
as smoothly as your skin glides over the garment in your hands. The Weaver, a
singularly determined expression on Her face, squares off against an enormous,
crimson-aura'd spider-creature. Her voice is calm but it contains steel: "You
WILL do as I say. I ask it rarely - Only for those worthy." The demon glares,
shifting angrily, its clawed forelegs dragging along the marbled floor. But it
cannot refuse - and so it begins to spin. "You would remember this one - more
than once, he came down into the depths of your city, and fought you, alone in
the dark. The Eldest." At this, the spider-demon hisses, remembering, mantling
in anger, and then grudging respect. The Thread spins on...
 

===the Sephirot of the Eldest===
long description: Glowing symbols hover in the air, each individual, each a part of a collective. 

Look Sephirot:
Seemingly flowing out of the intensely powerful aura of the sorcerer before you,
a series of glowing symbols appear. They seamlessly shift, one into the other, a
whole in truth, yet each unique and independent, as if distinct notes in a chord
or leaves on a tree. Glimmering, pulsing in time to a heart long since still, an
incantation wrought by a will that is ageless and eternal and ancient - they are,
because he wishes them to be.

Look Will
A sense of wordless rage, thirst and anger washes over you, centuries old, ancient
before entire continents rose from the Maelmordian Sea. Emotion such as this could
scorch earth to bare stone -- and yet, it is held in check, this Kindred blaze, by
a schooled, disciplined will, stronger than iron, tempered by millenia of practice.
It is this focus that created and maintains the Sephirot.

=== (Sneaky) split-toe black spidersilk tabi===
Long Description: Even devoid of feet to animate them, these spidersilk tabi look positively sneaky. 

Look Tabi:
Heavy, matte black spidersilk - yes, that terribly rare Yochlol kind, and boy is
she cranky about it - has been used to craft tabi that exude sneakiness. From a
hue the color of midnight that seems to absorb light around it, to the soft sole
that would not give away so much of a whisper of sound at the wearer's step, the
essence of this footwear is cat-like stealth. With a split toe that would permit
the wearer to practically sprint up a tree trunk or balance deftly atop the wire
passages above Harpers, these tabi are made for one who is active and must move,
in silence, through dangerous places.

Look Catlike hair:
A single clear pawprint on the upper calf area of the left boot, and a scattering
of hairs clinging to the silk, mark these tabi as owned by one who is owned by an
interesting array of felines.

Look Yochlol:
A clear, vibratingly angry image wavers in your mind's eye, of the Yochlol, that
ancient and horrific demon in spider form, being commanded by the Lady Weaver. A
slash of its forelimb in Her direction indicates the creature's overwhelming ire
at a second request in a single moon's span. Yet, the Lady will not be refused -
though the creature seems to relent some small amount when she hears to whom her
labors will be gifted.

In 2004, Lanae was hidden in "The Short Way to Hell ..." in the Chapel Catacombs.

== Mud Contributions: ==
* Nicholai is acknowledged and respected as the Eldest of the mortal Kindred yet remaining within the world.
* Nicholai is a member of the [[TFC Explorers Society]] twice over, having discovered the Tenayuka and Quelesta's Maze.

 

== Current Description: ==
Before you stands a sorcerer clad in black. His age indiscernible at a glance,
his Elven frame appears strong and youthful but a cold, expressionless face and
piercing blue eyes hint at a wealth of wisdom lost in an eternity of darkness
and pain. His pale complexion contrasts the few Moorish teak strands of hair
that stray from under his dark hood and fangs are barely noticeable behind
closed lips, rarely breaking to smile. About him flows a cape of pure darkness,
once a symbol of the Ordinus Nosferatu, a mark of the kindred, now a relic of
an ancient time and a warning to this realm that he is perhaps the eldest,
the last remaining of the original kindred to walk among them, and should be
feared and respected as such. Close to his heart and hidden from view he keeps
a token of love given to him by a little girl as a reminder of what is most
important in this life, and that perhaps there is hope in the darkness.
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.
Nicholai is in perfect health.

===Prior Desc, date unknown===
Before you stands a Sorcerer clad in black. Around his neck hangs a pentagram softly shedding a red aura. Chills run up your spine as you meet the gaze of his sapphire blue eyes shining with intelligence and a hint of insanity. The fresh blood on his lips contrasts his pale complexion, while the fangs barely showing through his evil grin warns you to stay away. 
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.

== Character History: ==
In his mortal life Nicholas De Brabant stumbled upon the realm of The Final Challenge as a young Elf learning the ways of Magick. Lacking in strength he struggled his way on sheer will and intellect. In his travels, he encountered a stunning yet dark and mysterious woman. She introduced herself as [[DarkClaw]] and flashed a fanged grin. Enchanted by this dangerous beauty, he followed her to her lord, the Master vampire [[Khore]]. He embraced the Darkness and its power and was welcomed into the [[Kindred Vampyric]]. In his new existence as Nosferatu, calling himself Nicholai and choosing the title Akhkharu (Sumerian for Vampire), he has strived to gain in strength and knowledge of Magick. To know all, to be all, with the Darkness his home, the Blood his life, and the Kin his strength, he has come a long way, but still has far to go... 
Basically a loner, Nicholai tends to shy away from public view. He holds no contempt for others who would leave him or his Kin be. If you should find him in your area, chances are he is not hunting you, unless you have given him reason. He values friendship greatly, and would risk his life for his kin or close friends. His loyalty surpasses even his heart, but he does take betrayal seriously. Within the Kindred, Nicholai is closest to [[Combee]], perhaps the Kindred who understands Nicholai the most. His closest friend amongst mortals is [[Corri]], her free spirit and undying youth intrigues him.

===Nicholai's Solitude===
(Writing Contest entry, January 16th, 2014. "Capture a specific moment, place, or person of this world." ) 
The wind howls as it sweeps past the western wall of the keep, turned away with stubborn indifference by stone laid ages ago. Once a testament to the strength and hope of the people, now a relic weathered by the tests of time in a land wrought with decay and misery. Do not seek me within those cold towers, you will not find me there. Despite my callous and stoic demeanor I prefer a different kind of solitude high up in the branches of an ancient tree, an oasis of life amidst a world seething with death. It just feels more like home as I remember it, if my memory is to be trusted, having spend many a day in my youth amongst the branches of Loth-Llorien. From here I forget the passing of time as the sun rises and sets, lost in my own thoughts. The townsfolk below carry on, almost trance-like, with their mundane lives from birth unto death. It all seems so pointless yet they persist seemingly unaware of their fate. It is of no matter to me, I cheated death in return for this permanent existence, and in that choice I remain. Feelings like hope, joy, and love seem so distant like the faded words in a child’s diary long forgotten on dusty shelf. Where they ever real? Or just the delusions of youth? As I glance at the initials carved long ago in the wood I am reminded of the love once shared here, something that has kept this place untouched by the blight and is perhaps a source of hope. It is in fact a pleasant tree. A slight smile barely parts my lips as I recall the first mention of it, an amusing and innocent misunderstanding of pleasantry that became truer with the time she spent here. I scan the branches for any sign of her, perhaps a petal I may have missed, a memento of hope, or a grain of sand having voyaged by boot from the far off desert. What was it that caused her to seek me out? Questions at first an annoyance, bringing me out of my conscious slumber like a waking limb, thrusting me into a story not of my own making, but one in which I would play a role. Now it is her absence I find frustrating, though I would not admit it, I miss the to-a-fault politeness, the almost questions, and the way a simple greeting becomes an epic tale in true bard fashion. When she had asked if I craved her blood I told her I did not. That may have partly been a lie, while it did not taste like almonds to me, there was a sweetness, an alluring innocence and purity that in my younger years would have stirred the fiery passion within my still heart and I do not deny that the thought to indulge it had crossed my mind. But there was something else, an inner strength and power, a potential yet untapped for this desert rose. A potential far greater left to grow, nurtured, guided. Perhaps I will end up corrupting her, or she corrupting me. The future holds more secrets than can be wrung out of the present, and time has always been on my side. So for now I remain here in my solitude, lost in my own thoughts and waiting for the page to turn. Perhaps there is no hope, save for the few who seek its light, but even they ultimately succumb to the darkness.

Well, he is Vintage. But most important, he is Elf. Duh!

Ingredienz:
5 dropz Nicholai blood; red grapez; grape stomper; wine yeast; egg

Directionz:
Scream HELP! over Ftell or other public channel. Wait for a Nicholai
to run to you. Feign distress in a very dark mine shaft. When he lookz
for a large alien mutant zombie rat you swear is after you, grab his hand
and stab his elfy pinky by accident. I know - not an elf toez, but itll do.
Squeez blood dropz into vial, then RUN away superOgurfast, before he
*** ANNIHILATES *** you. Shout, Sorry! Hide out in the Void for a bit,
just in case. Next, pick grapez in Vineyard (eatz worker, or 2, for energy).
Squish grapez (and a grape stomper for extra Oomph) into vat and add yeast.
Add Nich dropz. When wine is dark red, pour in barrel, and let sit a few munthz.
Siphon goo and gunk floating on top. So much work, take a break in Fens mud
puddle. After wine "rests" for munth, add egg white to absorb tannin (what
ever that is). Pour wine into bottlz and cork em. Cheerzzz!

Servz: Kindred Goddess , plus 1 or 2 Kindred guest. OR 1 drunk Ogre chef.
Optional serving suggestion: 3 inebriated dwarf or 4 DUI gnomz.
Bonus pointz for: 7 FUI Aaraz (Everyone knowz drunk birdy crash into tree
and window. Free entertainment and ogurlishus snack drool).

===mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain===
<worn on body> (Powerful magic) mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain
Long Description: These robes of enchanted black elven chain were a gift from Chyld to Sire.

'''Look Chain:'''
Enchanted to shift from potent solidity to mist, mirroring its wearer, these
sorcerous robes are made of the highest quality elven chain. Each link is an
ebon-black, protecting the wearer from being revealed by the reflection of a
light upon the metal. Supple and fluid, this robe was made by a master smith,
for it flows like fabric but protects like the finest armor. Each link has a
serpentine scale-like shape, hinting at the sinuous grace and strength of an
ancient dragon.

'''Look Mist:'''
Cool mist shrouds the hem of this garment, flicking outward in sinuous tongues
of gray vapor, erasing every footprint and trace of passage by he that dons it.
Faint shapes appear here and there within the mist, winged and ethereal, their
whispering voices bringing word of the speaking of a Name.
 

===a tiny daisy protected within a glass band===
Worn: <worn on finger> (Artifact magic) a tiny daisy protected within a glass band
Long Description: A band of glass encloses and protects a tiny daisy from ever fading.

'''Look Band Glass''':
Sand struck by lightning creates a unique form of glass - whether the
bolts are called down by storm or by song, the end result is the same.
Gathered and brought to the mage-smiths of Kharad-Delving, melted and
reformed, it has been shaped into a ring that protects and encloses a
tiny daisy. The design of the band has a childlike simplicity to it:
no fancy bezels or ornate gems. On the inside curve of the glass ring,
words have been carved in in flowing desert script:

. "Moments of joy and hope last as long as you let them."

'''Look Daisy''':
It was an impulsive gesture to reach out and connect with one she admires that
prompted Samiyah to pick this tiny daisy. Its humble simplicity looked out of
place in the pale hand of the Eldest when it was given but its message was one
that was heartfelt: Hope need not fade. Bright moments of joy are not lessened
by time, if the heart and soul are open to them. Now, that same bloom has been
given a home within a frame of glass to preserve its message for always.

'''Look Flower Hope''':
Studying the daisy, you see a ghostly reflection of it within the glass. Or
perhaps it is not a reflection, but a captured ghost of a flower given at a
time when both the one giving and the one receiving needed a reminder: Hope
exists, no matter how dark the night.

'''Look Storm Song'''
A crystal clear vision appears into your mind, sweeping across your senses
like a desert wind. Samiyah stands upon the soft desert dunes of her home,
a thundering sky above her. Hands raised high, she sings to the storm: the
answer is a series of three lightning bolts raining down from the heavens,
as electric blue as the eyes of the one for whom she is crafting a gift.

'''Look Keywords:'''
Object Keywords: daisy flower glass band
Restring Keywords: Band Glass | Daisy | Flower Hope | Storm Song | Keywords

Crafted as part of the Nicholai Project, in deep respect for the Eldest,
Nicholai, from one proud to name him friend.

===flowing umanori hakama of ebon Yochlol silk===

Long Description: These wide-legged silk pants would allow complete freedom of movement.

Look umanori hakama silk
The fabric of these hakama is thick and luxurious: a heavy black silk that is
pleasingly soft to the touch yet oddly resistant to puncture or tear. Crafted
from the rarest fabric - Yochlol silk, only obtainable by the Goddess Cordir,
when She scolds the demon in spider form sufficiently to obtain its weaving -
the wearer would have full freedom of movement. They are cut generously, with
no restrictive seams that would prevent one from, say, kicking an opponent in
the head, or climbing a tree at a near sprint. All while looking ridiculously
fashionable, at the same time.

Look Yochlol
As your fingers slide over the silk fabric, an odd image slips into your mind,
as smoothly as your skin glides over the garment in your hands. The Weaver, a
singularly determined expression on Her face, squares off against an enormous,
crimson-aura'd spider-creature. Her voice is calm but it contains steel: "You
WILL do as I say. I ask it rarely - Only for those worthy." The demon glares,
shifting angrily, its clawed forelegs dragging along the marbled floor. But it
cannot refuse - and so it begins to spin. "You would remember this one - more
than once, he came down into the depths of your city, and fought you, alone in
the dark. The Eldest." At this, the spider-demon hisses, remembering, mantling
in anger, and then grudging respect. The Thread spins on...
 

===the Sephirot of the Eldest===
long description: Glowing symbols hover in the air, each individual, each a part of a collective. 

Look Sephirot:
Seemingly flowing out of the intensely powerful aura of the sorcerer before you,
a series of glowing symbols appear. They seamlessly shift, one into the other, a
whole in truth, yet each unique and independent, as if distinct notes in a chord
or leaves on a tree. Glimmering, pulsing in time to a heart long since still, an
incantation wrought by a will that is ageless and eternal and ancient - they are,
because he wishes them to be.

Look Will
A sense of wordless rage, thirst and anger washes over you, centuries old, ancient
before entire continents rose from the Maelmordian Sea. Emotion such as this could
scorch earth to bare stone -- and yet, it is held in check, this Kindred blaze, by
a schooled, disciplined will, stronger than iron, tempered by millenia of practice.
It is this focus that created and maintains the Sephirot.

=== (Sneaky) split-toe black spidersilk tabi===
Long Description: Even devoid of feet to animate them, these spidersilk tabi look positively sneaky. 

Look Tabi:
Heavy, matte black spidersilk - yes, that terribly rare Yochlol kind, and boy is
she cranky about it - has been used to craft tabi that exude sneakiness. From a
hue the color of midnight that seems to absorb light around it, to the soft sole
that would not give away so much of a whisper of sound at the wearer's step, the
essence of this footwear is cat-like stealth. With a split toe that would permit
the wearer to practically sprint up a tree trunk or balance deftly atop the wire
passages above Harpers, these tabi are made for one who is active and must move,
in silence, through dangerous places.

Look Catlike hair:
A single clear pawprint on the upper calf area of the left boot, and a scattering
of hairs clinging to the silk, mark these tabi as owned by one who is owned by an
interesting array of felines.

Look Yochlol:
A clear, vibratingly angry image wavers in your mind's eye, of the Yochlol, that
ancient and horrific demon in spider form, being commanded by the Lady Weaver. A
slash of its forelimb in Her direction indicates the creature's overwhelming ire
at a second request in a single moon's span. Yet, the Lady will not be refused -
though the creature seems to relent some small amount when she hears to whom her
labors will be gifted.

== Mud Contributions: ==
* Nicholai is acknowledged and respected as the Eldest of the mortal Kindred yet remaining within the world.
* Nicholai is a member of the [[TFC Explorers Society]] twice over, having discovered the Tenayuka and Quelesta's Maze.

 

== Current Description: ==
Before you stands a sorcerer clad in black. His age indiscernible at a glance,
his Elven frame appears strong and youthful but a cold, expressionless face and
piercing blue eyes hint at a wealth of wisdom lost in an eternity of darkness
and pain. His pale complexion contrasts the few Moorish teak strands of hair
that stray from under his dark hood and fangs are barely noticeable behind
closed lips, rarely breaking to smile. About him flows a cape of pure darkness,
once a symbol of the Ordinus Nosferatu, a mark of the kindred, now a relic of
an ancient time and a warning to this realm that he is perhaps the eldest,
the last remaining of the original kindred to walk among them, and should be
feared and respected as such. Close to his heart and hidden from view he keeps
a token of love given to him by a little girl as a reminder of what is most
important in this life, and that perhaps there is hope in the darkness.
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.
Nicholai is in perfect health.

===Prior Desc, date unknown===
Before you stands a Sorcerer clad in black. Around his neck hangs a pentagram softly shedding a red aura. Chills run up your spine as you meet the gaze of his sapphire blue eyes shining with intelligence and a hint of insanity. The fresh blood on his lips contrasts his pale complexion, while the fangs barely showing through his evil grin warns you to stay away. 
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye. 
Nicholai is in perfect health.

== Character History: ==
In his mortal life Nicholas De Brabant stumbled upon the realm of The Final Challenge as a young Elf learning the ways of Magick. Lacking in strength he struggled his way on sheer will and intellect. In his travels, he encountered a stunning yet dark and mysterious woman. She introduced herself as [[DarkClaw]] and flashed a fanged grin. Enchanted by this dangerous beauty, he followed her to her lord, the Master vampire [[Khore]]. He embraced the Darkness and its power and was welcomed into the [[Kindred Vampyric]]. In his new existence as Nosferatu, calling himself Nicholai and choosing the title Akhkharu (Sumerian for Vampire), he has strived to gain in strength and knowledge of Magick. To know all, to be all, with the Darkness his home, the Blood his life, and the Kin his strength, he has come a long way, but still has far to go... 
Basically a loner, Nicholai tends to shy away from public view. He holds no contempt for others who would leave him or his Kin be. If you should find him in your area, chances are he is not hunting you, unless you have given him reason. He values friendship greatly, and would risk his life for his kin or close friends. His loyalty surpasses even his heart, but he does take betrayal seriously. Within the Kindred, Nicholai is closest to [[Combee]], perhaps the Kindred who understands Nicholai the most. His closest friend amongst mortals is [[Corri]], her free spirit and undying youth intrigues him.

The wind howls as it sweeps past the western wall of the keep, turned away with stubborn indifference by stone laid ages ago. Once a testament to the strength and hope of the people, now a relic weathered by the tests of time in a land wrought with decay and misery. Do not seek me within those cold towers, you will not find me there. Despite my callous and stoic demeanor I prefer a different kind of solitude high up in the branches of an ancient tree, an oasis of life amidst a world seething with death. It just feels more like home as I remember it, if my memory is to be trusted, having spend many a day in my youth amongst the branches of Loth-Llorien. From here I forget the passing of time as the sun rises and sets, lost in my own thoughts. The townsfolk below carry on, almost trance-like, with their mundane lives from birth unto death. It all seems so pointless yet they persist seemingly unaware of their fate. It is of no matter to me, I cheated death in return for this permanent existence, and in that choice I remain. Feelings like hope, joy, and love seem so distant like the faded words in a child’s diary long forgotten on dusty shelf. Where they ever real? Or just the delusions of youth? As I glance at the initials carved long ago in the wood I am reminded of the love once shared here, something that has kept this place untouched by the blight and is perhaps a source of hope. It is in fact a pleasant tree. A slight smile barely parts my lips as I recall the first mention of it, an amusing and innocent misunderstanding of pleasantry that became truer with the time she spent here. I scan the branches for any sign of her, perhaps a petal I may have missed, a memento of hope, or a grain of sand having voyaged by boot from the far off desert. What was it that caused her to seek me out? Questions at first an annoyance, bringing me out of my conscious slumber like a waking limb, thrusting me into a story not of my own making, but one in which I would play a role. Now it is her absence I find frustrating, though I would not admit it, I miss the to-a-fault politeness, the almost questions, and the way a simple greeting becomes an epic tale in true bard fashion. When she had asked if I craved her blood I told her I did not. That may have partly been a lie, while it did not taste like almonds to me, there was a sweetness, an alluring innocence and purity that in my younger years would have stirred the fiery passion within my still heart and I do not deny that the thought to indulge it had crossed my mind. But there was something else, an inner strength and power, a potential yet untapped for this desert rose. A potential far greater left to grow, nurtured, guided. Perhaps I will end up corrupting her, or she corrupting me. The future holds more secrets than can be wrung out of the present, and time has always been on my side. So for now I remain here in my solitude, lost in my own thoughts and waiting for the page to turn. Perhaps there is no hope, save for the few who seek its light, but even they ultimately succumb to the darkness.

To: all
I wanted to give me Goddess, DarkClaw a gud wine. So Baron Marel's son
and a few workerz teach me how to make it. Why Nich, you may ask?
Well, he is Vintage. But most important, he is Elf. Duh!

Ingredienz:
5 dropz Nicholai blood; red grapez; grape stomper; wine yeast; egg

Directionz:
Scream HELP! over Ftell or other public channel. Wait for a Nicholai
to run to you. Feign distress in a very dark mine shaft. When he lookz
for a large alien mutant zombie rat you swear is after you, grab his hand
and stab his elfy pinky by accident. I know - not an elf toez, but itll do.
Squeez blood dropz into vial, then RUN away superOgurfast, before he
*** ANNIHILATES *** you. Shout, Sorry! Hide out in the Void for a bit,
just in case. Next, pick grapez in Vineyard (eatz worker, or 2, for energy).
Squish grapez (and a grape stomper for extra Oomph) into vat and add yeast.
Add Nich dropz. When wine is dark red, pour in barrel, and let sit a few munthz.
Siphon goo and gunk floating on top. So much work, take a break in Fens mud
puddle. After wine "rests" for munth, add egg white to absorb tannin (what
ever that is). Pour wine into bottlz and cork em. Cheerzzz!

Servz: Kindred Goddess , plus 1 or 2 Kindred guest. OR 1 drunk Ogre chef.
Optional serving suggestion: 3 inebriated dwarf or 4 DUI gnomz.
Bonus pointz for: 7 FUI Aaraz (Everyone knowz drunk birdy crash into tree
and window. Free entertainment and ogurlishus snack drool).

===mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain===
<worn on body> (Powerful magic) mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain
Long Description: These robes of enchanted black elven chain were a gift from Chyld to Sire.

'''Look Chain:'''
Enchanted to shift from potent solidity to mist, mirroring its wearer, these
sorcerous robes are made of the highest quality elven chain. Each link is an
ebon-black, protecting the wearer from being revealed by the reflection of a
light upon the metal. Supple and fluid, this robe was made by a master smith,
for it flows like fabric but protects like the finest armor. Each link has a
serpentine scale-like shape, hinting at the sinuous grace and strength of an
ancient dragon.

'''Look Mist:'''
Cool mist shrouds the hem of this garment, flicking outward in sinuous tongues
of gray vapor, erasing every footprint and trace of passage by he that dons it.
Faint shapes appear here and there within the mist, winged and ethereal, their
whispering voices bringing word of the speaking of a Name.
 

===a tiny daisy protected within a glass band===
Worn: <worn on finger> (Artifact magic) a tiny daisy protected within a glass band
Long Description: A band of glass encloses and protects a tiny daisy from ever fading.

'''Look Band Glass''':
Sand struck by lightning creates a unique form of glass - whether the
bolts are called down by storm or by song, the end result is the same.
Gathered and brought to the mage-smiths of Kharad-Delving, melted and
reformed, it has been shaped into a ring that protects and encloses a
tiny daisy. The design of the band has a childlike simplicity to it:
no fancy bezels or ornate gems. On the inside curve of the glass ring,
words have been carved in in flowing desert script:

. "Moments of joy and hope last as long as you let them."

'''Look Daisy''':
It was an impulsive gesture to reach out and connect with one she admires that
prompted Samiyah to pick this tiny daisy. Its humble simplicity looked out of
place in the pale hand of the Eldest when it was given but its message was one
that was heartfelt: Hope need not fade. Bright moments of joy are not lessened
by time, if the heart and soul are open to them. Now, that same bloom has been
given a home within a frame of glass to preserve its message for always.

'''Look Flower Hope''':
Studying the daisy, you see a ghostly reflection of it within the glass. Or
perhaps it is not a reflection, but a captured ghost of a flower given at a
time when both the one giving and the one receiving needed a reminder: Hope
exists, no matter how dark the night.

'''Look Storm Song'''
A crystal clear vision appears into your mind, sweeping across your senses
like a desert wind. Samiyah stands upon the soft desert dunes of her home,
a thundering sky above her. Hands raised high, she sings to the storm: the
answer is a series of three lightning bolts raining down from the heavens,
as electric blue as the eyes of the one for whom she is crafting a gift.

'''Look Keywords:'''
Object Keywords: daisy flower glass band
Restring Keywords: Band Glass | Daisy | Flower Hope | Storm Song | Keywords

Crafted as part of the Nicholai Project, in deep respect for the Eldest,
Nicholai, from one proud to name him friend.

===flowing umanori hakama of ebon Yochlol silk===

Long Description: These wide-legged silk pants would allow complete freedom of movement.

Look umanori hakama silk
The fabric of these hakama is thick and luxurious: a heavy black silk that is
pleasingly soft to the touch yet oddly resistant to puncture or tear. Crafted
from the rarest fabric - Yochlol silk, only obtainable by the Goddess Cordir,
when She scolds the demon in spider form sufficiently to obtain its weaving -
the wearer would have full freedom of movement. They are cut generously, with
no restrictive seams that would prevent one from, say, kicking an opponent in
the head, or climbing a tree at a near sprint. All while looking ridiculously
fashionable, at the same time.

Look Yochlol
As your fingers slide over the silk fabric, an odd image slips into your mind,
as smoothly as your skin glides over the garment in your hands. The Weaver, a
singularly determined expression on Her face, squares off against an enormous,
crimson-aura'd spider-creature. Her voice is calm but it contains steel: "You
WILL do as I say. I ask it rarely - Only for those worthy." The demon glares,
shifting angrily, its clawed forelegs dragging along the marbled floor. But it
cannot refuse - and so it begins to spin. "You would remember this one - more
than once, he came down into the depths of your city, and fought you, alone in
the dark. The Eldest." At this, the spider-demon hisses, remembering, mantling
in anger, and then grudging respect. The Thread spins on...
 

===the Sephirot of the Eldest===
long description: Glowing symbols hover in the air, each individual, each a part of a collective. 

Look Sephirot:
Seemingly flowing out of the intensely powerful aura of the sorcerer before you,
a series of glowing symbols appear. They seamlessly shift, one into the other, a
whole in truth, yet each unique and independent, as if distinct notes in a chord
or leaves on a tree. Glimmering, pulsing in time to a heart long since still, an
incantation wrought by a will that is ageless and eternal and ancient - they are,
because he wishes them to be.

Look Will
A sense of wordless rage, thirst and anger washes over you, centuries old, ancient
before entire continents rose from the Maelmordian Sea. Emotion such as this could
scorch earth to bare stone -- and yet, it is held in check, this Kindred blaze, by
a schooled, disciplined will, stronger than iron, tempered by millenia of practice.
It is this focus that created and maintains the Sephirot.

=== (Sneaky) split-toe black spidersilk tabi===
Long Description: Even devoid of feet to animate them, these spidersilk tabi look positively sneaky. 

Look Tabi:
Heavy, matte black spidersilk - yes, that terribly rare Yochlol kind, and boy is
she cranky about it - has been used to craft tabi that exude sneakiness. From a
hue the color of midnight that seems to absorb light around it, to the soft sole
that would not give away so much of a whisper of sound at the wearer's step, the
essence of this footwear is cat-like stealth. With a split toe that would permit
the wearer to practically sprint up a tree trunk or balance deftly atop the wire
passages above Harpers, these tabi are made for one who is active and must move,
in silence, through dangerous places.

Look Catlike hair:
A single clear pawprint on the upper calf area of the left boot, and a scattering
of hairs clinging to the silk, mark these tabi as owned by one who is owned by an
interesting array of felines.

Look Yochlol:
A clear, vibratingly angry image wavers in your mind's eye, of the Yochlol, that
ancient and horrific demon in spider form, being commanded by the Lady Weaver. A
slash of its forelimb in Her direction indicates the creature's overwhelming ire
at a second request in a single moon's span. Yet, the Lady will not be refused -
though the creature seems to relent some small amount when she hears to whom her
labors will be gifted.

* Nicholai is acknowledged and respected as the Eldest of the mortal Kindred yet remaining within the world.
* Nicholai is a member of the [[TFC Explorers Society]] twice over, having discovered the Tenayuka and Quelesta's Maze.

 

== Current Description: ==
Before you stands a sorcerer clad in black. His age indiscernible at a glance,
his Elven frame appears strong and youthful but a cold, expressionless face and
piercing blue eyes hint at a wealth of wisdom lost in an eternity of darkness
and pain. His pale complexion contrasts the few Moorish teak strands of hair
that stray from under his dark hood and fangs are barely noticeable behind
closed lips, rarely breaking to smile. About him flows a cape of pure darkness,
once a symbol of the Ordinus Nosferatu, a mark of the kindred, now a relic of
an ancient time and a warning to this realm that he is perhaps the eldest,
the last remaining of the original kindred to walk among them, and should be
feared and respected as such. Close to his heart and hidden from view he keeps
a token of love given to him by a little girl as a reminder of what is most
important in this life, and that perhaps there is hope in the darkness.
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.
Nicholai is in perfect health.

===Prior Desc, date unknown===
Before you stands a Sorcerer clad in black. Around his neck hangs a pentagram softly shedding a red aura. Chills run up your spine as you meet the gaze of his sapphire blue eyes shining with intelligence and a hint of insanity. The fresh blood on his lips contrasts his pale complexion, while the fangs barely showing through his evil grin warns you to stay away. 
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.

== Character History: ==
In his mortal life Nicholas De Brabant stumbled upon the realm of The Final Challenge as a young Elf learning the ways of Magick. Lacking in strength he struggled his way on sheer will and intellect. In his travels, he encountered a stunning yet dark and mysterious woman. She introduced herself as [[DarkClaw]] and flashed a fanged grin. Enchanted by this dangerous beauty, he followed her to her lord, the Master vampire [[Khore]]. He embraced the Darkness and its power and was welcomed into the [[Kindred Vampyric]]. In his new existence as Nosferatu, calling himself Nicholai and choosing the title Akhkharu (Sumerian for Vampire), he has strived to gain in strength and knowledge of Magick. To know all, to be all, with the Darkness his home, the Blood his life, and the Kin his strength, he has come a long way, but still has far to go... 
Basically a loner, Nicholai tends to shy away from public view. He holds no contempt for others who would leave him or his Kin be. If you should find him in your area, chances are he is not hunting you, unless you have given him reason. He values friendship greatly, and would risk his life for his kin or close friends. His loyalty surpasses even his heart, but he does take betrayal seriously. Within the Kindred, Nicholai is closest to [[Combee]], perhaps the Kindred who understands Nicholai the most. His closest friend amongst mortals is [[Corri]], her free spirit and undying youth intrigues him.

===Nicholai's Solitude===
(Writing Contest entry, January 16th, 2014. "Capture a specific moment, place, or person of this world." ) 
The wind howls as it sweeps past the western wall of the keep, turned away with stubborn indifference by stone laid ages ago. Once a testament to the strength and hope of the people, now a relic weathered by the tests of time in a land wrought with decay and misery. Do not seek me within those cold towers, you will not find me there. Despite my callous and stoic demeanor I prefer a different kind of solitude high up in the branches of an ancient tree, an oasis of life amidst a world seething with death. It just feels more like home as I remember it, if my memory is to be trusted, having spend many a day in my youth amongst the branches of Loth-Llorien. From here I forget the passing of time as the sun rises and sets, lost in my own thoughts. The townsfolk below carry on, almost trance-like, with their mundane lives from birth unto death. It all seems so pointless yet they persist seemingly unaware of their fate. It is of no matter to me, I cheated death in return for this permanent existence, and in that choice I remain. Feelings like hope, joy, and love seem so distant like the faded words in a child’s diary long forgotten on dusty shelf. Where they ever real? Or just the delusions of youth? As I glance at the initials carved long ago in the wood I am reminded of the love once shared here, something that has kept this place untouched by the blight and is perhaps a source of hope. It is in fact a pleasant tree. A slight smile barely parts my lips as I recall the first mention of it, an amusing and innocent misunderstanding of pleasantry that became truer with the time she spent here. I scan the branches for any sign of her, perhaps a petal I may have missed, a memento of hope, or a grain of sand having voyaged by boot from the far off desert. What was it that caused her to seek me out? Questions at first an annoyance, bringing me out of my conscious slumber like a waking limb, thrusting me into a story not of my own making, but one in which I would play a role. Now it is her absence I find frustrating, though I would not admit it, I miss the to-a-fault politeness, the almost questions, and the way a simple greeting becomes an epic tale in true bard fashion. When she had asked if I craved her blood I told her I did not. That may have partly been a lie, while it did not taste like almonds to me, there was a sweetness, an alluring innocence and purity that in my younger years would have stirred the fiery passion within my still heart and I do not deny that the thought to indulge it had crossed my mind. But there was something else, an inner strength and power, a potential yet untapped for this desert rose. A potential far greater left to grow, nurtured, guided. Perhaps I will end up corrupting her, or she corrupting me. The future holds more secrets than can be wrung out of the present, and time has always been on my side. So for now I remain here in my solitude, lost in my own thoughts and waiting for the page to turn. Perhaps there is no hope, save for the few who seek its light, but even they ultimately succumb to the darkness.

[ 6] Crunch: * Nicholai Noir *
Sun Jan 25 11:51:57 2015
To: all
I wanted to give me Goddess, DarkClaw a gud wine. So Baron Marel's son
and a few workerz teach me how to make it. Why Nich, you may ask?
Well, he is Vintage. But most important, he is Elf. Duh!

Ingredienz:
5 dropz Nicholai blood; red grapez; grape stomper; wine yeast; egg

Directionz:
Scream HELP! over Ftell or other public channel. Wait for a Nicholai
to run to you. Feign distress in a very dark mine shaft. When he lookz
for a large alien mutant zombie rat you swear is after you, grab his hand
and stab his elfy pinky by accident. I know - not an elf toez, but itll do.
Squeez blood dropz into vial, then RUN away superOgurfast, before he
*** ANNIHILATES *** you. Shout, Sorry! Hide out in the Void for a bit,
just in case. Next, pick grapez in Vineyard (eatz worker, or 2, for energy).
Squish grapez (and a grape stomper for extra Oomph) into vat and add yeast.
Add Nich dropz. When wine is dark red, pour in barrel, and let sit a few munthz.
Siphon goo and gunk floating on top. So much work, take a break in Fens mud
puddle. After wine "rests" for munth, add egg white to absorb tannin (what
ever that is). Pour wine into bottlz and cork em. Cheerzzz!

Servz: Kindred Goddess , plus 1 or 2 Kindred guest. OR 1 drunk Ogre chef.
Optional serving suggestion: 3 inebriated dwarf or 4 DUI gnomz.
Bonus pointz for: 7 FUI Aaraz (Everyone knowz drunk birdy crash into tree
and window. Free entertainment and ogurlishus snack drool).

===mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain===
<worn on body> (Powerful magic) mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain
Long Description: These robes of enchanted black elven chain were a gift from Chyld to Sire.

'''Look Chain:'''
Enchanted to shift from potent solidity to mist, mirroring its wearer, these
sorcerous robes are made of the highest quality elven chain. Each link is an
ebon-black, protecting the wearer from being revealed by the reflection of a
light upon the metal. Supple and fluid, this robe was made by a master smith,
for it flows like fabric but protects like the finest armor. Each link has a
serpentine scale-like shape, hinting at the sinuous grace and strength of an
ancient dragon.

'''Look Mist:'''
Cool mist shrouds the hem of this garment, flicking outward in sinuous tongues
of gray vapor, erasing every footprint and trace of passage by he that dons it.
Faint shapes appear here and there within the mist, winged and ethereal, their
whispering voices bringing word of the speaking of a Name.
 

===a tiny daisy protected within a glass band===
Worn: <worn on finger> (Artifact magic) a tiny daisy protected within a glass band
Long Description: A band of glass encloses and protects a tiny daisy from ever fading.

'''Look Band Glass''':
Sand struck by lightning creates a unique form of glass - whether the
bolts are called down by storm or by song, the end result is the same.
Gathered and brought to the mage-smiths of Kharad-Delving, melted and
reformed, it has been shaped into a ring that protects and encloses a
tiny daisy. The design of the band has a childlike simplicity to it:
no fancy bezels or ornate gems. On the inside curve of the glass ring,
words have been carved in in flowing desert script:

. "Moments of joy and hope last as long as you let them."

'''Look Daisy''':
It was an impulsive gesture to reach out and connect with one she admires that
prompted Samiyah to pick this tiny daisy. Its humble simplicity looked out of
place in the pale hand of the Eldest when it was given but its message was one
that was heartfelt: Hope need not fade. Bright moments of joy are not lessened
by time, if the heart and soul are open to them. Now, that same bloom has been
given a home within a frame of glass to preserve its message for always.

'''Look Flower Hope''':
Studying the daisy, you see a ghostly reflection of it within the glass. Or
perhaps it is not a reflection, but a captured ghost of a flower given at a
time when both the one giving and the one receiving needed a reminder: Hope
exists, no matter how dark the night.

'''Look Storm Song'''
A crystal clear vision appears into your mind, sweeping across your senses
like a desert wind. Samiyah stands upon the soft desert dunes of her home,
a thundering sky above her. Hands raised high, she sings to the storm: the
answer is a series of three lightning bolts raining down from the heavens,
as electric blue as the eyes of the one for whom she is crafting a gift.

'''Look Keywords:'''
Object Keywords: daisy flower glass band
Restring Keywords: Band Glass | Daisy | Flower Hope | Storm Song | Keywords

Crafted as part of the Nicholai Project, in deep respect for the Eldest,
Nicholai, from one proud to name him friend.

===flowing umanori hakama of ebon Yochlol silk===

Long Description: These wide-legged silk pants would allow complete freedom of movement.

Look umanori hakama silk
The fabric of these hakama is thick and luxurious: a heavy black silk that is
pleasingly soft to the touch yet oddly resistant to puncture or tear. Crafted
from the rarest fabric - Yochlol silk, only obtainable by the Goddess Cordir,
when She scolds the demon in spider form sufficiently to obtain its weaving -
the wearer would have full freedom of movement. They are cut generously, with
no restrictive seams that would prevent one from, say, kicking an opponent in
the head, or climbing a tree at a near sprint. All while looking ridiculously
fashionable, at the same time.

Look Yochlol
As your fingers slide over the silk fabric, an odd image slips into your mind,
as smoothly as your skin glides over the garment in your hands. The Weaver, a
singularly determined expression on Her face, squares off against an enormous,
crimson-aura'd spider-creature. Her voice is calm but it contains steel: "You
WILL do as I say. I ask it rarely - Only for those worthy." The demon glares,
shifting angrily, its clawed forelegs dragging along the marbled floor. But it
cannot refuse - and so it begins to spin. "You would remember this one - more
than once, he came down into the depths of your city, and fought you, alone in
the dark. The Eldest." At this, the spider-demon hisses, remembering, mantling
in anger, and then grudging respect. The Thread spins on...
 

===the Sephirot of the Eldest===
long description: Glowing symbols hover in the air, each individual, each a part of a collective. 

Look Sephirot:
Seemingly flowing out of the intensely powerful aura of the sorcerer before you,
a series of glowing symbols appear. They seamlessly shift, one into the other, a
whole in truth, yet each unique and independent, as if distinct notes in a chord
or leaves on a tree. Glimmering, pulsing in time to a heart long since still, an
incantation wrought by a will that is ageless and eternal and ancient - they are,
because he wishes them to be.

Look Will
A sense of wordless rage, thirst and anger washes over you, centuries old, ancient
before entire continents rose from the Maelmordian Sea. Emotion such as this could
scorch earth to bare stone -- and yet, it is held in check, this Kindred blaze, by
a schooled, disciplined will, stronger than iron, tempered by millenia of practice.
It is this focus that created and maintains the Sephirot.

=== (Sneaky) split-toe black spidersilk tabi===
Long Description: Even devoid of feet to animate them, these spidersilk tabi look positively sneaky. 

Look Tabi:
Heavy, matte black spidersilk - yes, that terribly rare Yochlol kind, and boy is
she cranky about it - has been used to craft tabi that exude sneakiness. From a
hue the color of midnight that seems to absorb light around it, to the soft sole
that would not give away so much of a whisper of sound at the wearer's step, the
essence of this footwear is cat-like stealth. With a split toe that would permit
the wearer to practically sprint up a tree trunk or balance deftly atop the wire
passages above Harpers, these tabi are made for one who is active and must move,
in silence, through dangerous places.

Look Catlike hair:
A single clear pawprint on the upper calf area of the left boot, and a scattering
of hairs clinging to the silk, mark these tabi as owned by one who is owned by an
interesting array of felines.

Look Yochlol:
A clear, vibratingly angry image wavers in your mind's eye, of the Yochlol, that
ancient and horrific demon in spider form, being commanded by the Lady Weaver. A
slash of its forelimb in Her direction indicates the creature's overwhelming ire
at a second request in a single moon's span. Yet, the Lady will not be refused -
though the creature seems to relent some small amount when she hears to whom her
labors will be gifted.

What was that you just saw out of the corner of your eye? 
You look again but you cant see anything, however you can smell wet fur and a very foul smell. 
The smell reminds you of when you were a kid and you visited the potion shop. 
All of a sudden you see a dark cloaked figure standing in front of you 
Whatever is behind that cloak obviously knows what hes doing as he was the one who reveled himself. 
He makes a low grunting minotaurian, All you can see to make of it is something of protecting 'His' . 
he then turns, looks over his shoulder and grunts something off safe passage. 
He turns and with a gust of wind disappears, however just before he disappears you notice the mark of a Farseer. 
For some reason this strange encounter makes you feel safer on you path knowing something out there is there to protect. 
Avatarr won't win any beauty contests. 
Avatarr is in perfect health. 
 
===06/18/2003===
Walking through the stone carvings you catch the glimpse of a 
small humaniod creature. Prey...you think to yourself. At 
a closer distance, feature come into view. A female gnome... 
with metal armor...'a cleric' you think to yourself. Upon her 
shield is the Sigil Odegra. 'One of the Hunt...' 
 
<nowiki>*Blink*</nowiki> Something caught your eye, though what it was is keeping 
itself hidden. The feeling is unsettling... The overwhelming scent 
of wet fur intrudes the area. Looking behind you, a dark towering 
silhouette stands before you. His breath blowing over your face. 
He says something in minotaurn to the gnome now behind you. You 
hear laughter, then what you believe is a response from behind you. 
A white aura suddenly surrounds the minotaur before you. He snorts 
once, then says, 'It is amusing how the hunter becomes the hunted 
is it not?' The minotaur then gives what you believe to be a smirk? 
'It is not my belief to hunt unless someone hurts my brethren or my 
love.' The minotaur then glances to the gnome now beside him. 'So 
do consider the Triat to be watching over you. Thank the Weaver 
your Thread was protected, and the Wyld for not taking it.' 
 
Turning to leave, he adds over his shoulder a farewell of safe 
passage. You hear the low growl of a Tiger as the female follows. 
A gust of wind blows, and their dark forms are carried, leaving in 
your view the mark of a Farseer. It too fades from view, though the 
warm blanket feeling of protection remains with you after this Wyld 
encounter.

== Character History: ==
It was a frightening storm. A lot of lives had been lost in this war of the Great Dragons and the denizens of the realm. But on one night while the Dragon lords had stopped their pillaging of the city of Ofcol, the warriors of the realm were standing around a bonfire trying to keep warm, one warrior decides to place a huge log on the fire. 
The guards were happy. It was a great thing to be resting when a lightning bolt hit the log, three men were killed in the explosion that was to come. Guards rushed to put the fire out. It was five days before the task was completed. But to their great surprise the log had not burned. 
They removed the log from the fire and discovered words charred into the side 'From earth, To fire, Then water, Then to earth again i will raise the embodiment of this realm, protector of innocent friend to all who ask, Love me or Fear me FOR I AM AVATARR'. Now the guards thought this was a joke and threw the log away. Many years away when the great cold had passed the wars ended, the log used as a seat for passer bys. 
the log had been a great legend for many years to come but still no-one believed it. But it one day when a child sat on the log that he jumped up straight away, all laughed at his pain but alas there was something sitting on the log that had not been there before. There on the log were 2 great horns one made of fire and water the other earth and air. The towns people were puzzled at this as no-one could remove then and all who touched them were stuck with a peace that they were no longer interested. It was years later when a ancient shaman minotaur was passing through Ofcal that he decided to examine the horns, for some reason he was able to remove them from the log. He examined them and placed them in his bag. When he returned to Mithas he was attacked and killed by thieves. Once the thieves examined the horns they fled from fear of the gods. It was only when passerbys noticed the dead shaman on the side of the road that he was buried. (little did they know of the horns in his bag) And so the Prophecy was fulfilled and the horns were back in the earth. That night a being arose from the grave, but it was not the old shaman it was the being that had been prophesied. Standing the normal height of a minotaur wearing a long black cloak with a Spider web symbol on the back, under his hood his horns FIRE,WATER,EARTH,AIR. And so the legend came true 'Avatarr' the embodiment of the elements and the realm serving one god Lady Cordir. No more has been recorded of this mythical beast besides the legend came true, but many tales have been told of when those who are in dire need of help a Minotaur of Godly powers appears ,but these are nothing more than that, just tales, no-one really believes theses tales but they are still told.

===12/07/2002:===
What was that you just saw out of the corner of your eye? 
You look again but you cant see anything, however you can smell wet fur and a very foul smell. 
The smell reminds you of when you were a kid and you visited the potion shop. 
All of a sudden you see a dark cloaked figure standing in front of you 
Whatever is behind that cloak obviously knows what hes doing as he was the one who reveled himself. 
He makes a low grunting minotaurian, All you can see to make of it is something of protecting 'His' . 
he then turns, looks over his shoulder and grunts something off safe passage. 
He turns and with a gust of wind disappears, however just before he disappears you notice the mark of a Farseer. 
For some reason this strange encounter makes you feel safer on you path knowing something out there is there to protect. 
Avatarr won't win any beauty contests. 
Avatarr is in perfect health. 
 
===06/18/2003===
Walking through the stone carvings you catch the glimpse of a 
small humaniod creature. Prey...you think to yourself. At 
a closer distance, feature come into view. A female gnome... 
with metal armor...'a cleric' you think to yourself. Upon her 
shield is the Sigil Odegra. 'One of the Hunt...' 
 
*Blink* Something caught your eye, though what it was is keeping 
itself hidden. The feeling is unsettling... The overwhelming scent 
of wet fur intrudes the area. Looking behind you, a dark towering 
silhouette stands before you. His breath blowing over your face. 
He says something in minotaurn to the gnome now behind you. You 
hear laughter, then what you believe is a response from behind you. 
A white aura suddenly surrounds the minotaur before you. He snorts 
once, then says, 'It is amusing how the hunter becomes the hunted 
is it not?' The minotaur then gives what you believe to be a smirk? 
'It is not my belief to hunt unless someone hurts my brethren or my 
love.' The minotaur then glances to the gnome now beside him. 'So 
do consider the Triat to be watching over you. Thank the Weaver 
your Thread was protected, and the Wyld for not taking it.' 
 
Turning to leave, he adds over his shoulder a farewell of safe 
passage. You hear the low growl of a Tiger as the female follows. 
A gust of wind blows, and their dark forms are carried, leaving in 
your view the mark of a Farseer. It too fades from view, though the 
warm blanket feeling of protection remains with you after this Wyld 
encounter.

== Character History: ==
It was a frightening storm. A lot of lives had been lost in this war of the Great Dragons and the denizens of the realm. But on one night while the Dragon lords had stopped their pillaging of the city of Ofcol, the warriors of the realm were standing around a bonfire trying to keep warm, one warrior decides to place a huge log on the fire. 
The guards were happy. It was a great thing to be resting when a lightning bolt hit the log, three men were killed in the explosion that was to come. Guards rushed to put the fire out. It was five days before the task was completed. But to their great surprise the log had not burned. 
They removed the log from the fire and discovered words charred into the side 'From earth, To fire, Then water, Then to earth again i will raise the embodiment of this realm, protector of innocent friend to all who ask, Love me or Fear me FOR I AM AVATARR'. Now the guards thought this was a joke and threw the log away. Many years away when the great cold had passed the wars ended, the log used as a seat for passer bys. 
the log had been a great legend for many years to come but still no-one believed it. But it one day when a child sat on the log that he jumped up straight away, all laughed at his pain but alas there was something sitting on the log that had not been there before. There on the log were 2 great horns one made of fire and water the other earth and air. The towns people were puzzled at this as no-one could remove then and all who touched them were stuck with a peace that they were no longer interested. It was years later when a ancient shaman minotaur was passing through Ofcal that he decided to examine the horns, for some reason he was able to remove them from the log. He examined them and placed them in his bag. When he returned to Mithas he was attacked and killed by thieves. Once the thieves examined the horns they fled from fear of the gods. It was only when passerbys noticed the dead shaman on the side of the road that he was buried. (little did they know of the horns in his bag) And so the Prophecy was fulfilled and the horns were back in the earth. That night a being arose from the grave, but it was not the old shaman it was the being that had been prophesied. Standing the normal height of a minotaur wearing a long black cloak with a Spider web symbol on the back, under his hood his horns FIRE,WATER,EARTH,AIR. And so the legend came true 'Avatarr' the embodiment of the elements and the realm serving one god Lady Cordir. No more has been recorded of this mythical beast besides the legend came true, but many tales have been told of when those who are in dire need of help a Minotaur of Godly powers appears ,but these are nothing more than that, just tales, no-one really believes theses tales but they are still told.

'''[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]]''' 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding. She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her '''Aspect of [[Weaver]]''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed '''[[Abe]]''' but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: '''[[The Weaver's Geasa]]''' 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by '''[[Katrana]]''')
# To write, of the past and the present (given by '''[[Aoide]]''')
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by '''[[Wish]]''').

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]''' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]'''
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

'''[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]]''' 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding. She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her '''Aspect of [[Weaver]]''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed '''[[Abe]]''' but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: '''[[The Weaver's Geasa]]''' 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by '''[[Katrana]]''')
# To write, of the past and the present (given by '''[[Aoide]]''')
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by '''[[Wish]]''').

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]"' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]"'
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding. She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well)

All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]"' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]"'
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

'''[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]]''' 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding. She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed '''[[Abe]]''' but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: '''[[The Weaver's Geasa]]''' 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by '''[[Katrana]]''')
# To write, of the past and the present (given by '''[[Aoide]]''')
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by '''[[Wish]]''').

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]"' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]"'
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

'''[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]]''' 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]] and other challenges. ''Please note:'' If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding. She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed '''[[Abe]]''' but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: '''[[The Weaver's Geasa]]''' 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by '''[[Katrana]]''')
# To write, of the past and the present (given by '''[[Aoide]]''')
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by '''[[Wish]]''').

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]"' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]"'
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

'''[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]]''' 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. ''Please note:'' If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]"' before bidding.'' She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below). 

=== Additional/Ongoing Projects: ===
* 189 Bard Memorization phrases in use.
* 6 Newbie Advice entries ('''[[Algenara]]''' Help phrases)
* Wrote four existing '''[[Socials]]''' (Gag, Boggle, Bah, Praise) and submitted three that were not (Thwap, Tipcap and Tkiss).
* Created over 60 pieces of clothing and equipment for the '''[[Snowman Wars]]'''.
* Revised/Updated the Bunny Quest mobs, rooms and objects for 2011.
* Created the Tarot card reading performed by Bethany of the Adventurer's Inn on the '''[[Mountain of Knowledge]]'''.
* Created all of the unique clothing for the mobs in the Adventurer's Inn on the '''[[Mountain of Knowledge]]'''.
* Created a set of "Good" and "Evil" +Charisma clothing for brides and grooms - '''see her on Mud for use!'''

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed '''[[Abe]]''' but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: '''[[The Weaver's Geasa]]''' 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by '''[[Katrana]]''')
# To write, of the past and the present (given by '''[[Aoide]]''')
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by '''[[Wish]]''').

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well)

My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]"' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]"'
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber.

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

'''[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]]''' 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including '''[[Madman]]''' himself, '''[[Molo]]''', '''[[Daelin]]''' and '''[[Sirak]]'''. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her '''[[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]'''. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "'''[[Fateful Hour]]'''s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and '''[[Bardic Circle]]'''s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ('''[[Whitehawk]]''' & '''[[Aoife]]''', '''[[Jahiliya]]''' & '''[[Zrie]]''', and '''[[Isolas]]''' & '''[[Erian]]'''.) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as '''[[The Great Race]]''', '''[[Triat Mastery Quests]]''', and co-authored/administered '''[[Class Mastery Quests]]'''. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by '''[[Marisa]]'''. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with '''[[Tokugawa]]''' (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the '''[[Black Conclave]]''' and '''[[Nexus]]'''.
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]"', '''[[Bug Hunt]]"', '''[[Writing Contests]]"' and other challenges. ''Please note:'' If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others. She sometimes hosts auctions: Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]"' before bidding.'' She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: '''[[Gwyrdain]]''' was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: '''[[An Engagement]]'''). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to '''[[Mireya]]''' - named '''[[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]'''. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by '''[[Molo]]''' and forced to join the '''[[Black Conclave]]''', that she was pregnant with '''[[Keller]]''''s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by '''[[Keller]]''' and '''[[Kylera]]''' was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by '''[[Khore]]''') to gain permission to wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as '''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''' had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, '''[[Sirak]]''' proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a '''[[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]]''' and the fifth to complete one.
* When '''[[Thaygar]]''' was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the '''[[Ebon Hand]]''' was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the '''[[Silver Fellowship]]''', Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, '''[[Gryphon]]''' gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, '''[[Wren]]'''.
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by '''[[Madman]]''' for events during '''[[At Your Service]]'''.
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by '''[[Khore]]'''. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in '''[[Seaside]]''' by a member of '''[[Zarous]]''''s following, '''[[Adventure]]''', on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that '''[[Jerald]]''' took "'''[[Bards]]'''" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of '''[[Thaygar]]''' to reach FLI status, preceded by '''[[Jerald]]'''. ('''[[Raistlin]]''', '''[[Mekt]]''' and '''[[Malkav]]''' immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from '''[[Sirak]]''' to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by '''[[Molo]]''') as an Ambassador when she wed '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: '''[[Weaver Embraced]]'''
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was '''[[Lanae]]''', based on '''[[Lanfear]]'''. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was '''[[Phraustea]]'''.
* Cordir received mentions in '''[[BlissPoll 2000]]''': Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by '''[[Kerriariadne]]''' in '''[[An Interview With The Booga]]'''. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of '''[[Nayr]]''''s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in '''[[Lycron Poll 2011]]''': Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of '''[[Riverhold]]''', it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by '''[[Abe]]''', named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by '''[[Molo]]'''), another two using her nickname (zones written by '''[[Foolkiller]]''' & '''[[Molo]]'''), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth '''[[Ink]]''')'' 
* Cordir's daughter ('''[[Mireya An-Shalach]]''') was in '''[[Isolas]]'''' following, and Isolas' son ('''[[Delan]]''') was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the '''[[Triat]]''' known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are '''[[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]'''. This is as much due to her regular interactions with '''[[Khore]]''' (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to '''[[Deamhan An-Shalach]]''', to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets '''[[Nicholai]]''' as The Eldest.

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord '''[[Thaygar]]''', to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to '''[[Gryphon]]''''s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]"' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]"'
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
'''[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''[[Abe]]''' & '''[[Cordir]]''''s Wedding, 2004]]''' I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate '''[[Gryphon]]''' introduced me (and several of our friends, including '''[[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]]''', '''[[ZARA]]''', '''[[Nameless Demonspawn]]''', '''[[Yvon]]''', '''[[Polnevdra Zrelendar]]''', '''[[Taffron]]''' and others) to mudding. My first character was '''[[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]]''' a cleric in '''[[Coleman]]''''s '''[[Mirth]]''', and my second, '''[[Lena]]''', a '''[[Kindred Vampyric]]''' under '''[[Khore]]'''. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting '''[[Thaygar]]''' in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the '''[[Chosen of Fate]]''' for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit '''[[User:Cordir]]'''.

[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]] 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including [[Madman]] himself, [[Molo]], [[Daelin]] and [[Sirak]]. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her [[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "[[Fateful Hour]]s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and [[Bardic Circle]]s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ([[Whitehawk]] & [[Aoife]], [[Jahiliya]] & [[Zrie]], and [[Isolas]] & [[Erian]].) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as [[The Great Race]], [[Triat Mastery Quests]], and co-authored/administered [[Class Mastery Quests]]. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by [[Marisa]]. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with [[Tokugawa]] (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the [[Black Conclave]] and [[Nexus]].
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, '''[[Cat & Mouse]]''', '''[[Bug Hunt]]''', '''[[Writing Contests]]''' and other challenges. ''Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others.'' She sometimes hosts auctions: ''Please read and understand '''[[Cordir Auction Rules]]''' before bidding.'' She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below). 

=== Additional/Ongoing Projects: ===

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: [[Gwyrdain]] was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: [[An Engagement]]). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to [[Mireya]] - named [[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by [[Molo]] and forced to join the [[Black Conclave]], that she was pregnant with [[Keller]]'s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by [[Keller]] and [[Kylera]] was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by [[Khore]]) to gain permission to wed [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as [[Mireya An-Shalach]] had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, [[Sirak]] proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a [[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]] and the fifth to complete one.
* When [[Thaygar]] was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the [[Ebon Hand]] was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the [[Silver Fellowship]], Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, [[Gryphon]] gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, [[Wren]].
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by [[Madman]] for events during [[At Your Service]].
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by [[Khore]]. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in [[Seaside]] by a member of [[Zarous]]'s following, [[Adventure]], on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that [[Jerald]] took "[[Bards]]" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of [[Thaygar]] to reach FLI status, preceded by [[Jerald]]. ([[Raistlin]], [[Mekt]] and [[Malkav]] immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from [[Sirak]] to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by [[Molo]]) as an Ambassador when she wed [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: [[Weaver Embraced]]
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was [[Lanae]], based on [[Lanfear]]. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was [[Phraustea]].
* Cordir received mentions in [[BlissPoll 2000]]: Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by [[Kerriariadne]] in [[An Interview With The Booga]]. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of [[Nayr]]'s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in [[Lycron Poll 2011]]: Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of [[Riverhold]], it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by [[Abe]], named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by [[Molo]]), another two using her nickname (zones written by [[Foolkiller]] & [[Molo]]), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth [[Ink]])'' 
* Cordir's daughter ([[Mireya An-Shalach]]) was in [[Isolas]]' following, and Isolas' son ([[Delan]]) was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the [[Triat]] known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are [[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]. This is as much due to her regular interactions with [[Khore]] (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets [[Nicholai]] as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed [[Abe]] but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: [[The Weaver's Geasa]] 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by [[Katrana]])
# To write, of the past and the present (given by [[Aoide]])
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by [[Wish]]).

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord [[Thaygar]], to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to [[Gryphon]]'s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]''' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]'''
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Abe]] & [[Cordir]]'s Wedding, 2004]] I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate [[Gryphon]] introduced me (and several of our friends, including [[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]], [[ZARA]], [[Nameless Demonspawn]], [[Yvon]], [[Polnevdra Zrelendar]], [[Taffron]] and others) to mudding. My first character was [[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]] a cleric in [[Coleman]]'s [[Mirth]], and my second, [[Lena]], a [[Kindred Vampyric]] under [[Khore]]. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting [[Thaygar]] in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the [[Chosen of Fate]] for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit [[User:Cordir]].

[[File:Cordir-Guardian-2012.jpg|left|Cordir, the Weaver of Fate]] 
== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including [[Madman]] himself, [[Molo]], [[Daelin]] and [[Sirak]]. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her [[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "[[Fateful Hour]]s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and [[Bardic Circle]]s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ([[Whitehawk]] & [[Aoife]], [[Jahiliya]] & [[Zrie]], and [[Isolas]] & [[Erian]].) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as [[The Great Race]], [[Triat Mastery Quests]], and co-authored/administered [[Class Mastery Quests]]. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by [[Marisa]]. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with [[Tokugawa]] (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the [[Black Conclave]] and [[Nexus]].
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, [[Cat & Mouse]], [[Bug Hunt]], and other challenges. ''Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others.'' She sometimes hosts auctions: ''Please read and understand [[Cordir Auction Rules]] before bidding.'' She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below). 

=== Additional/Ongoing Projects: ===

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: [[Gwyrdain]] was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: [[An Engagement]]). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to [[Mireya]] - named [[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by [[Molo]] and forced to join the [[Black Conclave]], that she was pregnant with [[Keller]]'s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by [[Keller]] and [[Kylera]] was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by [[Khore]]) to gain permission to wed [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as [[Mireya An-Shalach]] had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, [[Sirak]] proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a [[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]] and the fifth to complete one.
* When [[Thaygar]] was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the [[Ebon Hand]] was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the [[Silver Fellowship]], Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, [[Gryphon]] gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, [[Wren]].
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by [[Madman]] for events during [[At Your Service]].
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by [[Khore]]. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in [[Seaside]] by a member of [[Zarous]]'s following, [[Adventure]], on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that [[Jerald]] took "[[Bards]]" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of [[Thaygar]] to reach FLI status, preceded by [[Jerald]]. ([[Raistlin]], [[Mekt]] and [[Malkav]] immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from [[Sirak]] to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by [[Molo]]) as an Ambassador when she wed [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: [[Weaver Embraced]]
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was [[Lanae]], based on [[Lanfear]]. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was [[Phraustea]].
* Cordir received mentions in [[BlissPoll 2000]]: Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by [[Kerriariadne]] in [[An Interview With The Booga]]. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of [[Nayr]]'s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in [[Lycron Poll 2011]]: Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of [[Riverhold]], it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by [[Abe]], named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by [[Molo]]), another two using her nickname (zones written by [[Foolkiller]] & [[Molo]]), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth [[Ink]])'' 
* Cordir's daughter ([[Mireya An-Shalach]]) was in [[Isolas]]' following, and Isolas' son ([[Delan]]) was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the [[Triat]] known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are [[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]. This is as much due to her regular interactions with [[Khore]] (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets [[Nicholai]] as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.
# The Lady of Fate will always Read the Pattern whenever an individual asks to know of their own Fate.
# The Lady of Fate will always grant aid when it is asked of Her, if it is within Her power to do so.
# Temporary: Will speak not a word aloud, save to Her folk or immortals.
# Temporary: Will accept no offerings of any kind from Her folk.
# Temporary: Will accept no Oaths of Service.
# The Lady of Fate swears to always hold true to her vows to Deamhan An-Shalach, never marrying again. (For this reason, Cordir never wed [[Abe]] but did take his name.) 

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: [[The Weaver's Geasa]] 
# To take no husband, save Deamhan An-Shalach, and no lover, save Abe Stormreaver.
# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by [[Katrana]])
# To write, of the past and the present (given by [[Aoide]])
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by [[Wish]]).

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord [[Thaygar]], to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to [[Gryphon]]'s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]''' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]'''
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Abe]] & [[Cordir]]'s Wedding, 2004]] I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate [[Gryphon]] introduced me (and several of our friends, including [[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]], [[ZARA]], [[Nameless Demonspawn]], [[Yvon]], [[Polnevdra Zrelendar]], [[Taffron]] and others) to mudding. My first character was [[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]] a cleric in [[Coleman]]'s [[Mirth]], and my second, [[Lena]], a [[Kindred Vampyric]] under [[Khore]]. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting [[Thaygar]] in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the [[Chosen of Fate]] for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit [[User:Cordir]].

== Mud Contributions: ==
=== Mortal: ===
As a mortal, Cordir's primary contribution to the mud was as an RP catalyst and participant, drawing a wide variety of people into RP that didn't generally participate in it, including [[Madman]] himself, [[Molo]], [[Daelin]] and [[Sirak]]. She wrote and posted poetry on a wide variety of topics, a collection of which is found in her [[Cordir - Ebon Book|Ebon Book]]. She was an active writer, creating two areas (see below), as well as writing colorful emotes, descriptions and props for mud-wide quests such as Lorna's Dwarven Pirate Invasion. 

=== FLI: ===
Cordir was extremely active in hosting mud-wide storytelling competitions, scavenger hunts and trivia contests, both large and small. She hosted "[[Fateful Hour]]s" - a role-play focused gathering of her followers (and other guests) - and [[Bardic Circle]]s on a semi-monthly basis for several years. She served as the officiant for a number of weddings, including those of non-followers ([[Whitehawk]] & [[Aoife]], [[Jahiliya]] & [[Zrie]], and [[Isolas]] & [[Erian]].) She also crafted individual personal challenges such as [[The Great Race]], [[Triat Mastery Quests]], and co-authored/administered [[Class Mastery Quests]]. For the mud populace at large, her greatest contribution was the TFC Timeline, a personal historical project of hundreds of logs that was later donated to the MUD and merged with one by [[Marisa]]. This can be seen on the [http://finalchallenge.net|TFC Home Page]. While an FLI, she co-authored a zone with [[Tokugawa]] (see below). The Chosen of Fate lasted a remarkable nine years, and is the third longest existing following in TFC history, beaten only by the [[Black Conclave]] and [[Nexus]].
 

=== God+ ===
As the Patroness of Bards, she enjoys the opportunity to preside over Bard Council Reviews and does so whenever possible. Cordir also focuses on the running of quests: Coded & uncoded scavenger hunts, Trivia, [[Cat & Mouse]], [[Bug Hunt]], and other challenges. ''Please note: If Cordir is running a quest, she has specific expectations for behavior -- that means, don't screw over others who are participating. While that might be cool with others who run the same kinds of quests, it is Very Frowned Upon when Cordir runs it. If you have questions; ASK. Participate and accept the challenge, and don't ruin it for others.'' She sometimes hosts auctions: ''Please read and understand [[Cordir Auction Rules]] before bidding.'' She is the leading contributor of content for the TFC Wiki with well over 3,000 edits and also serves as one of the Site Administrators. She has continued her prolific area writing, with a number of temples and offices and new zones (see below).

== Current Description: ==
Slim and pale as a shaft of moonlight or the bared blade of a sword, the Weaver
stands before you. Ancient flames of sable black, first called by Lord Thaygar
Himself, flicker about Her person, causing Her waist-length silver hair and Her
gown to stir as if in a light breeze. As you dare to meet Her star-touched ebon
gaze, you find yourself dissolving into the abyss of Her eyes. Time shatters -
moments and eons swirling in the wind - your soul overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope
of existence - eternal instants of joy, anguish and wonder. She grants release
from the madness of Her gaze and your head bows, purely of its own volition. A
slight, knowing smile plays about Her lips, for a single glance told Her it all:
your past, your present, your future. Hopes, fears, dreams, all bare for Her to
witness and to know.

== Mortal Trivia: ==
=== Relationships ===
* Partner: [[Gwyrdain]] was engaged to Cordir when she was a mortal member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately 1997: [[An Engagement]]). For various reasons, the wedding never occured. ''(This information is '''not''' common knowledge and is currently obscured from Gwyrdain's memory. No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory - and incurring Cordir's wrath.)''
* Children: Cordir may (or may not) have had a second child - prior to [[Mireya]] - named [[Kelton Trap D'Augustine]]. There are rumors that during the time she was captured by [[Molo]] and forced to join the [[Black Conclave]], that she was pregnant with [[Keller]]'s son. She has no memory of this time, but strongly suspects that the child raised by [[Keller]] and [[Kylera]] was her own, taken from her by the Arch-Lich during the Week of Madness (a period in which the mud player files got corrupted and everything went topsy turvy). This has never been confirmed.
* During her quest (given by [[Khore]]) to gain permission to wed [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], Cordir completed certain of the tasks while carrying "a small infant" instead of wielding a weapon, as [[Mireya An-Shalach]] had just been born.
* During an evening of drunken excess, [[Sirak]] proposed to Cordir (because, well, she was unwed at the time, female, and Nashite). When Cordir pointed out that his marriage to Darkmoon was still in effect, he declared that it didn't make any difference. Eventually, however, he decided to marry Borneo instead and instructed her to arrange a time for Darkmoon to kill Borneo properly.

=== Honors: ===
* Cordir was the 6th person to ever be granted a [[Triat Mastery Quests|Triat Mastery Quest]] and the fifth to complete one.
* When [[Thaygar]] was promoted to God, during the span of time between when the [[Ebon Hand]] was disbanded and his office was removed, he gave Cordir the key to the temple and his altar. She was able to unlock it and obtain the holy symbol of the Ebon Hand at will.
* While she was a mortal member of the [[Silver Fellowship]], Cordir served as its Silver Witch. Because of her dedication, [[Gryphon]] gave her the informal title of Paladin of the Silver Fellowship, as he said she was doing more for the following than their (actual) paladin, [[Wren]].
* Cordir was informally named the Mud Secretary by [[Madman]] for events during [[At Your Service]].
* Cordir was referred to as the Mad One by [[Khore]]. She was also the topic of a poem by him: [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khorequestion.html The Question] and it's follow up, [http://www.tfcmud.com/tfc/community/timeline/1997/khoreanswer.html The Answer].

=== Rebirth: ===
* During the last brief moments of 2x (on October 27, 1997), everyone was free to PK like crazy, if they so desired. Half the mud had a (KILLER) or (THIEF) flag, including Cordir. ### DarkClaw killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar ### Sadow killed by Cordir at By the Temple Altar. It was the only time in which she PK'd anyone who did not volunteer for it. :)
* Cordir was PKd as a mortal voluntarily, more than she was involuntarily. She was involved in several RPs in which she either took a life, or gave up her own. She was PK'd in [[Seaside]] by a member of [[Zarous]]'s following, [[Adventure]], on a day in which their normal following rules (including allowed targets) was suspended.

=== Bard: ===
* As a mortal who was known as the "Ebon Bard," Cordir was more than a little irritated that [[Jerald]] took "[[Bards]]" has his following concept. Her irritation was such that he declared to his followers that she was to be treated as if she was Evil aligned, in a board note. ''[ 2] Jerald: Cordir. \ Fri Jun 19 17:12:21 1998 ] To followers of: Jerald \ Since Cordir has made it clear that she feels I am a 'farce' and takes exception to my existance and sphere of influence, you are to treat her as though she were evil, or better yet have nothing to do with her.''
 
== Immortal Trivia: ==
* Cordir was the second (prior) follower of [[Thaygar]] to reach FLI status, preceded by [[Jerald]]. ([[Raistlin]], [[Mekt]] and [[Malkav]] immorted prior, but never reached Demigod.) This can be seen on Thaygar's [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/File:Gen-Thaygar.PNG Immortal Line of Descent].
* Cordir had every intention of being a Nashite Immortal, and had permission from [[Sirak]] to do so. However, she was Excommunicated (by [[Molo]]) as an Ambassador when she wed [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], a non-Nashite. 
* Cordir gave her following many internal quests. For one, she challenged them to write of how their life would have been, had they not joined Fate. She joined them in this task, writing of an alternate life, had one decision been made differently: [[Weaver Embraced]]
* In 2002, Cordir made an entry for [http://www.finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2002/halloween2002.htm Tamar's Halloween Costume Contest], and was the winner. The subject? Cordir, the Evil PK'er.
* Cordir's Avatar (for Avatar Wars in 2004 & 2006) was [[Lanae]], based on [[Lanfear]]. Her Snowman, for Snowman Wars, was [[Phraustea]].
* Cordir received mentions in [[BlissPoll 2000]]: Most Enigmatic Immortal, Most Lovable Immortal, Best Immortal Entrance to a Room, and Best Immortal Departure from a Room.
* Cordir was mentioned by [[Kerriariadne]] in [[An Interview With The Booga]]. As thanks for his accepting her as an Attendant, Cordir crafted a second restring for him. (The first was given to him at his Ascension, when she was a Lesser Goddess.)
* Cordir was not allowed the privilege of an immortal 'pet' her first time as a Lesser Goddess as a sign of [[Nayr]]'s disfavor.
* When Cordir was promoted to Demigoddess for the second time (post punishment), it was, very fittingly, the month of the '''Testing of Fates''',in the year 2505.
* Cordir won two categories in [[Lycron Poll 2011]]: Most Helpful Immortal and Scariest Immortal.
* With the installation of [[Riverhold]], it was revealed that Cordir had another child - fathered by [[Abe]], named Boreal.
 

== General Trivia: ==
* There are four mobs named after Cordir's player - one, using her legal name (zone written by [[Molo]]), another two using her nickname (zones written by [[Foolkiller]] & [[Molo]]), and a fourth using a youthful version of her legal name (zone written by Cordir). 
* Cordir loves Swarfs. ''(So Sayeth [[Ink]])'' 
* Cordir's daughter ([[Mireya An-Shalach]]) was in [[Isolas]]' following, and Isolas' son ([[Delan]]) was in Cordir's following. This was as much from the rebellion of the children as it was the deep trust that the immortals had in one another to safeguard each other's progeny.
* Cordir is one of the top 10 [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Eldest Eldest] active characters on TFC (for number of hours played). She hit the venerable old age of 9,000 years old on May 16, 2016.
 

==Roleplay==
Cordir is a participant in, a catalyst for, and a mentor in, roleplay. She welcomes RP with virtually anyone. (Yes, there are exceptions.) In interactions with mortals, she does tend to be distant - physical touch activates her ''Aspect of Weave''', and she 'Reads the Thread' of the individual with whom she is in contact. It is for this reason that she rarely, if ever, touches anyone - generally only past members of the Chosen of Fate, who's Thread is is well familiar with. Additionally, Cordir has taken an oath of celibacy (see Geasa below). ('''''Flirtation with Cordir or unwelcome contact HAS been known to result in a very sudden and painful death.''''')
* What is her ''Aspect of Weaver''? Cordir is an incarnation of the [[Triat]] known as the Weaver. As such, she has the ability to 'read the Thread' of anyone who touches her (unless, expecting it, she acts to prevent that knowledge) - instantly seeing their life, their past thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams - and their present and future as well. This is one primary reason that she avoids physical touch. However, some have sought her out, asking her to do just such a Reading of their Thread: to provide direction or clarity when it is needed.

===Kindred===
Cordir has deeply ingrained respect for those who are [[Kindred (Vampires)|Kindred]]. This is as much due to her regular interactions with [[Khore]] (who bit her twice), and with her marriage to [[Deamhan An-Shalach]], to whom she was fully blood-bonded. The presence of Kindred is both delight and torment to her, as her Bonded has been gone from this world for several thousand years. As a Goddess, Her blood is *particularly* potent, and has been known to cause near-instant addiction for Kindred and week-long hallucinations and temporal shifts for non-Kindred. In diluted form, it has extremely powerful restorative properties, and has been used to Heal vampires that were starving themselves to near destruction, or to calm a frenzy. (Khore, Deamhan, Cirth the Pale, Ghazkull Mahsong, DarkClaw, and Clue are all Kindred who have tasted of her blood at one point or another.) It is partly due to her respect for the Kindred and the long interactions she has had with them, that she always publicly acknowledges and greets [[Nicholai]] as The Eldest.
 

== Geasa: ==
===Prior Geasa===
# The Lady of Fate will never take the life of one She has Chosen. (Geasa removed upon Demotion/restoration at follower request)
# The Lady of Fate will never hide from Her own people, unless administrative duties of Immortality require it.

(#4-6: 2/26/00 - 3/5/00) Taken for killing Trakker, and thus breaking #1) 
(#4 & #5 taken again 10/2/01 - 10/11/01 for killing Tranquility) 
===Current Geasa===
See: [[The Weaver's Geasa]]

# To seek out three teachers, one for each Aspect of the Triat, and reconnect with mortality through their instruction. (given by [[Katrana]])
# To write, of the past and the present (given by [[Aoide]])
# To open herself up to others, becoming emotionally vulnerable, rather than distancing herself (given by [[Wish]]).

== Firsts: ==
Cordir has the dubious privilege of a variety of 'firsts'... 
* First TFC bride slain at the wedding ''by the groom''
* First player to simultaneously complete a mob mastery and gain a level of the same number (MM#30 for level 30 mage).
* First Immortal petitioner to have prior '''roleplay''' raised as a potential problem/warning flag
* First Non-God+ Webmaster for TFC's home page
* First immortal retired/denied as punishment but allowed to go back through the Ambassador/Attendant promotion cycle to regain her position as an FLI. (Cordir has been promoted to an Immortal rank a record 8 times, has been honorably Retired once, and punitively Demoted once.)
 

== Immortality Petition(s) ==
* Petitioned for Immortality twice, once in 1997 and once in 1999: 
'''[112] Cordir: Immortality Petition (Part 1 - sorry)'''// Sun Feb 16 20:40:31 1997 // To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly "chance" - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and heart, and subsequent service to Lord [[Thaygar]], to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to [[Gryphon]]'s acceptance of my service. Now, much of who and what I am to be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life - the service and protection of others and the tending of the Tapestry of the Pattern Web of Fate. I respectfully await your decision. - Cordir 
'''[113] Cordir: Petition Part II: Out of Character''' // Sun Feb 16 20:45:57 1997 // To: Immortal 
OK.. here's the nitty gritty stuff... what the heck I"d like to do "upstairs". (Just FYI, I plan on having very strong links to the following of another individual who is seeking Immortality, and more will be added if/when she applies and is accepted, as well) 
Order Name: The Strands of the Web 
Order Alignment: Good 
Aspect/Sphere of Influence: The Life Aspect of Fate 
Title : The Weaver of the Web, also "The Grey Lady" 
Nashite Title (if accepted by the Council) : The Oracle of Nash 
Holy Symbol : (tattooed)(writhing) The Sigil of the Web 
Follower Title Keyword : Web 
Order Dictates: Service to all. Honor in all things. Forgiveness and Growth. 
My temple description is complete, as are the requirements for entry, personal description, web page info, entry/exit strings, you name it. All of these can be submitted for approval whenever you wish. Once more, thank you for your consideration of me as an Immortal Applicant. I can be emailed at (email address removed) or paged at (pager number removed) with any questions. (RL name removed) 
'''[14] Immortality Petition''' 
From: Cordir 
Subject Immortality Petition 
Date: sun Jan 3 l0:50:l7 1999 
To: Immortal 
Long have I known that Fate held a strong hand in my life, and that nothing is truly 'chance' - from fleeing my home in Southshire, hearing the voices of the Triat in my mind and subsequent service to Lord Thaygar to my being taken by the Arch-Lich, to Gryphon's acceptance of my service. Now, much of who I am and what I may yet be has been made clear to me, and I can see the fullness of that potential just out of my grasp, waiting for one last bridge to be crossed before its full bloom. 
Therefore, I, Cordir, would hereby petition to be granted Immortality to pursue what I believe is the destiny and purpose of my life the service and protection of others, through leadership and guidance of a following. I am aware that it is both an honor and a burden, a great responsibility and trust, and feel I can shoulder it with grace. 
I respectfully await your decision. 
Cordir 
 

== Personal Timeline: ==
'''[[Cordir - Timeline]]''' 
'''[[Cordir's News Page]]'''
 

== TFC Website Immortal Page Description: ==
If ebon flames writhe at the edges of your vision, or a single black widow spider watches you as it weaves its web, you may have caught the notice of the Lady Cordir. It is She who spins the Tapestry of Fate, tending to the weaving of each Thread within that metaphor of existence. Each and every life is known to her: watched and observed, and when the time comes, a whisper to Her Sister, and it is cut and rewoven. 
 
In Her wakening to Goddesshood, Cordir serves as the Patroness of Bards, playing close attention to each and every one of them, listening to their songs, and presiding over Bard Councils whenever possible. It is said that music and rhyme have always been a great treasure to the Ebon Bard as She was known in her mortal days, and it is rumored She has even accepted poetry as a form of payment in one of Her equipment auctions. 
 
The Lady is also active in the running of quests, and nary a week goes by that Her spidery minions do not assault some poor racial city, a mud-wide Scavenger Hunt is offered, or Arch-Mage Mobs unleashed. As the Triat Weaver, She watches for those who may be worthy of the greatest of quests: A Trial of Triat Mastery. 
 
Her interaction with mortals ranges from quiet, formal reserve to warm, caring mentor-ship. All, however, can seek her out and receive equal measure of attention and focus to their issue or need, with the caveat that She is still learning the fullness of Her new role, the many changes in the Realm since Her retirement, and the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the MUD. 
 
Cordir also is a high-volume contributor to the TFC Wiki (with well over 2,000 edits in her first three months alone) and serves on the Administration Staff, reviewing and moderating entries for accuracy. 
 
In the past, Cordir served as the leader of the Chosen of Fate, a Neutral following, for a record nine years (the only Neutral following to reach that longevity). During that time, she accepted the worship of some one hundred and sixty-eight souls, ranging from the newest of players to some of the most ancient players/characters in the world. Eight of those Chosen later went on to become Immortals in their own right. Certain words became part of the Final Challenge lexicon due to Cordir's Chosen: Anathema. Geasa. Destined. Initiate. Blade. Taoiseach. Still to this day, three years after its disbanding, there are those who walk in solitude, refusing to give any other Immortal their oath of worship, in honor of what they had in Fate, and still others, who yet observe each of their Geasa. This legacy, perhaps more than any other, is one that Cordir cherishes. 
 

== Current Immortal Entrance and Exit: ==
'''Entry:''' 
A ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern before you. 
Cordir fades in from the shadows. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 
 
'''Exit:''' 
Cordir raises her hand in a graceful gesture of summoning. 
An ebon light appears, and expands into a shadowy web-like Pattern. 
Cordir gathers the shadows around herself, ebon flames outlining her for a moment. 
The Pattern fades into wisps of darkness, scattered about the chamber. 

=== 2003 ===
'''Entry:''' Cordir steps quietly into the room, almost unnoticed but for the glimmer around her. 
'''Exit:''' Cordir steps through the Pattern Web, disappearing from the chamber. 
 

== Player Information: ==
[[File:DnB.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Abe]] & [[Cordir]]'s Wedding, 2004]] I've been playing TFC since Summer of 1995, with an intermittent break after Retirement in June of 2008. My ex-room mate [[Gryphon]] introduced me (and several of our friends, including [[Ivarr|Ivarr the Disenchanted]], [[ZARA]], [[Nameless Demonspawn]], [[Yvon]], [[Polnevdra Zrelendar]], [[Taffron]] and others) to mudding. My first character was [[Kestrel|Kestrel Loriah]] a cleric in [[Coleman]]'s [[Mirth]], and my second, [[Lena]], a [[Kindred Vampyric]] under [[Khore]]. Not surprisingly, I have '''never''' played an active PK'er, although some of my mortals HAVE gotten debt through one mad-cap roleplay or another. It was meeting [[Thaygar]] in the winter of 1995 that inspired me to create Cordir, who would become my primary (and highest level) character. When granted the privilege of Immortality, my deepest enjoyment of TFC blossomed. I had the joy of leading the [[Chosen of Fate]] for nine wonderful years; a better group could not be hand-picked from the heavens. Each and every one of them have my thanks for the contribution they brought. 

I've had the delight of meeting several dozen TFC'ers from all over the USA at multiple GTS in Los Angeles and Arizona, and spoken to some on the phone (and video) from across the globe. (I love to communicate, and can be followed on '''Twitter @lady_cordir''' or on '''[https://www.facebook.com/cordir.anshalach Facebook]''' ) Several meetings of folks from the MUD bloomed into friendships that I treasure still today - and one became the love of my life and my husband. :) 

I live in the Midwest, and am generally online in the evenings during the weekday (6 PM-ish CST through 11 pm-ish), and weekends, on and off most of the day. (Yep: Nerd.) For further information, please visit [[User:Cordir]].

== Current Description: ==
 
Mercury is the standard over-drinking half-elf in recovery. 
With what appears to be cardboard wings taped to his shoes 
and Halloween fairy wings glitter-glued to a pair of earmuffs, 
it appears that Mercury has taken the entire "messenger 
of the gods" thing way to seriously. 
 
When Mercury notices you looking at him, he tries to pull his 
much-too-small shirt down over his giant beer belly. However, 
with him refusing to put down his beer to do so, he spills 
on himself, making you realize that it isn't a brown tie-die 
shirt at all. It may have actually been white at some point. 
 
Mercury is in a perpetually semi-drunken state.

look hangover: 
THIS... this is not your garden-variety hangover. This is far
beyond the amateur efforts of teenage boys feeling their oats.
It exceeds the practiced oblivion of old men who have nothing
to live for. This is a gleeful, deliberate, worshipful affair
with the demon alcohol. A passionate debacle. A choreography
of inebriation. A love-poem to Bacchanalian excess. A howling
Katzenjammer of EPIC proportion.

('''Potent magic) a bedraggled, beer-stained, and road-worn robe [m|AC 3 svs:-3 da:3 mr:2 1#|about-body]'''

look robe: 
Road dust and beer stains co-mingle on the soiled surfaces of this robe.

== Current Description: ==
Before you stands a sorcerer clad in black. His age indiscernible at a glance,
his Elven frame appears strong and youthful but a cold, expressionless face and
piercing blue eyes hint at a wealth of wisdom lost in an eternity of darkness
and pain. His pale complexion contrasts the few Moorish teak strands of hair
that stray from under his dark hood and fangs are barely noticeable behind
closed lips, rarely breaking to smile. About him flows a cape of pure darkness,
once a symbol of the Ordinus Nosferatu, a mark of the kindred, now a relic of
an ancient time and a warning to this realm that he is perhaps the eldest,
the last remaining of the original kindred to walk among them, and should be
feared and respected as such. Close to his heart and hidden from view he keeps
a token of love given to him by a little girl as a reminder of what is most
important in this life, and that perhaps there is hope in the darkness.
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.
Nicholai is in perfect health.
 
===Halloween Costume Contest, 2013===

Behold, the noble bullfighter, here for your amusement.
Pay no attention to the fangs.
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.
Nicholai is in perfect health.

Nicholai is using:
<worn around neck> a glittering necklace of pewter and glass gems
<worn on body> a nobleman's costume of moth-eaten velvet
<worn on head> a crown of foil and glass gems
<worn on feet> a single filthy black leather knee high boot
<wielded> a tin sword with rounded, dull edges
<held> a crimson and black bullfighter's cape
<worn with pride> a soft brown sparrow feather
<worn with pride> the Ebon Sigil Odegra
 
===Prior Desc, date unknown===
Before you stands a Sorcerer clad in black. Around his neck hangs a pentagram softly shedding a red aura. Chills run up your spine as you meet the gaze of his sapphire blue eyes shining with intelligence and a hint of insanity. The fresh blood on his lips contrasts his pale complexion, while the fangs barely showing through his evil grin warns you to stay away. 
Nicholai has a special twinkle in his eye.

== Character History: ==
In his mortal life Nicholas De Brabant stumbled upon the realm of The Final Challenge as a young Elf learning the ways of Magick. Lacking in strength he struggled his way on sheer will and intellect. In his travels, he encountered a stunning yet dark and mysterious woman. She introduced herself as [[DarkClaw]] and flashed a fanged grin. Enchanted by this dangerous beauty, he followed her to her lord, the Master vampire [[Khore]]. He embraced the Darkness and its power and was welcomed into the [[Kindred Vampyric]]. In his new existence as Nosferatu, calling himself Nicholai and choosing the title Akhkharu (Sumerian for Vampire), he has strived to gain in strength and knowledge of Magick. To know all, to be all, with the Darkness his home, the Blood his life, and the Kin his strength, he has come a long way, but still has far to go... 
Basically a loner, Nicholai tends to shy away from public view. He holds no contempt for others who would leave him or his Kin be. If you should find him in your area, chances are he is not hunting you, unless you have given him reason. He values friendship greatly, and would risk his life for his kin or close friends. His loyalty surpasses even his heart, but he does take betrayal seriously. Within the Kindred, Nicholai is closest to [[Combee]], perhaps the Kindred who understands Nicholai the most. His closest friend amongst mortals is [[Corri]], her free spirit and undying youth intrigues him.

===Nicholai's Solitude===
(Writing Contest entry, January 16th, 2014. "Capture a specific moment, place, or person of this world." ) 
The wind howls as it sweeps past the western wall of the keep, turned away with stubborn indifference by stone laid ages ago. Once a testament to the strength and hope of the people, now a relic weathered by the tests of time in a land wrought with decay and misery. Do not seek me within those cold towers, you will not find me there. Despite my callous and stoic demeanor I prefer a different kind of solitude high up in the branches of an ancient tree, an oasis of life amidst a world seething with death. It just feels more like home as I remember it, if my memory is to be trusted, having spend many a day in my youth amongst the branches of Loth-Llorien. From here I forget the passing of time as the sun rises and sets, lost in my own thoughts. The townsfolk below carry on, almost trance-like, with their mundane lives from birth unto death. It all seems so pointless yet they persist seemingly unaware of their fate. It is of no matter to me, I cheated death in return for this permanent existence, and in that choice I remain. Feelings like hope, joy, and love seem so distant like the faded words in a child’s diary long forgotten on dusty shelf. Where they ever real? Or just the delusions of youth? As I glance at the initials carved long ago in the wood I am reminded of the love once shared here, something that has kept this place untouched by the blight and is perhaps a source of hope. It is in fact a pleasant tree. A slight smile barely parts my lips as I recall the first mention of it, an amusing and innocent misunderstanding of pleasantry that became truer with the time she spent here. I scan the branches for any sign of her, perhaps a petal I may have missed, a memento of hope, or a grain of sand having voyaged by boot from the far off desert. What was it that caused her to seek me out? Questions at first an annoyance, bringing me out of my conscious slumber like a waking limb, thrusting me into a story not of my own making, but one in which I would play a role. Now it is her absence I find frustrating, though I would not admit it, I miss the to-a-fault politeness, the almost questions, and the way a simple greeting becomes an epic tale in true bard fashion. When she had asked if I craved her blood I told her I did not. That may have partly been a lie, while it did not taste like almonds to me, there was a sweetness, an alluring innocence and purity that in my younger years would have stirred the fiery passion within my still heart and I do not deny that the thought to indulge it had crossed my mind. But there was something else, an inner strength and power, a potential yet untapped for this desert rose. A potential far greater left to grow, nurtured, guided. Perhaps I will end up corrupting her, or she corrupting me. The future holds more secrets than can be wrung out of the present, and time has always been on my side. So for now I remain here in my solitude, lost in my own thoughts and waiting for the page to turn. Perhaps there is no hope, save for the few who seek its light, but even they ultimately succumb to the darkness.

===Nicholai Noir===
[ 6] Crunch: * Nicholai Noir *
Sun Jan 25 11:51:57 2015
To: all
I wanted to give me Goddess, DarkClaw a gud wine. So Baron Marel's son
and a few workerz teach me how to make it. Why Nich, you may ask?
Well, he is Vintage. But most important, he is Elf. Duh!

Ingredienz:
5 dropz Nicholai blood; red grapez; grape stomper; wine yeast; egg

Directionz:
Scream HELP! over Ftell or other public channel. Wait for a Nicholai
to run to you. Feign distress in a very dark mine shaft. When he lookz
for a large alien mutant zombie rat you swear is after you, grab his hand
and stab his elfy pinky by accident. I know - not an elf toez, but itll do.
Squeez blood dropz into vial, then RUN away superOgurfast, before he
*** ANNIHILATES *** you. Shout, Sorry! Hide out in the Void for a bit,
just in case. Next, pick grapez in Vineyard (eatz worker, or 2, for energy).
Squish grapez (and a grape stomper for extra Oomph) into vat and add yeast.
Add Nich dropz. When wine is dark red, pour in barrel, and let sit a few munthz.
Siphon goo and gunk floating on top. So much work, take a break in Fens mud
puddle. After wine "rests" for munth, add egg white to absorb tannin (what
ever that is). Pour wine into bottlz and cork em. Cheerzzz!

Servz: Kindred Goddess , plus 1 or 2 Kindred guest. OR 1 drunk Ogre chef.
Optional serving suggestion: 3 inebriated dwarf or 4 DUI gnomz.
Bonus pointz for: 7 FUI Aaraz (Everyone knowz drunk birdy crash into tree
and window. Free entertainment and ogurlishus snack drool).

===mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain===
<worn on body> (Powerful magic) mist-shrouded robes of black elven chain
Long Description: These robes of enchanted black elven chain were a gift from Chyld to Sire.

'''Look Chain:'''
Enchanted to shift from potent solidity to mist, mirroring its wearer, these
sorcerous robes are made of the highest quality elven chain. Each link is an
ebon-black, protecting the wearer from being revealed by the reflection of a
light upon the metal. Supple and fluid, this robe was made by a master smith,
for it flows like fabric but protects like the finest armor. Each link has a
serpentine scale-like shape, hinting at the sinuous grace and strength of an
ancient dragon.

'''Look Mist:'''
Cool mist shrouds the hem of this garment, flicking outward in sinuous tongues
of gray vapor, erasing every footprint and trace of passage by he that dons it.
Faint shapes appear here and there within the mist, winged and ethereal, their
whispering voices bringing word of the speaking of a Name.
 

===a tiny daisy protected within a glass band===
Worn: <worn on finger> (Artifact magic) a tiny daisy protected within a glass band
Long Description: A band of glass encloses and protects a tiny daisy from ever fading.

'''Look Band Glass''':
Sand struck by lightning creates a unique form of glass - whether the
bolts are called down by storm or by song, the end result is the same.
Gathered and brought to the mage-smiths of Kharad-Delving, melted and
reformed, it has been shaped into a ring that protects and encloses a
tiny daisy. The design of the band has a childlike simplicity to it:
no fancy bezels or ornate gems. On the inside curve of the glass ring,
words have been carved in in flowing desert script:

. "Moments of joy and hope last as long as you let them."

'''Look Daisy''':
It was an impulsive gesture to reach out and connect with one she admires that
prompted Samiyah to pick this tiny daisy. Its humble simplicity looked out of
place in the pale hand of the Eldest when it was given but its message was one
that was heartfelt: Hope need not fade. Bright moments of joy are not lessened
by time, if the heart and soul are open to them. Now, that same bloom has been
given a home within a frame of glass to preserve its message for always.

'''Look Flower Hope''':
Studying the daisy, you see a ghostly reflection of it within the glass. Or
perhaps it is not a reflection, but a captured ghost of a flower given at a
time when both the one giving and the one receiving needed a reminder: Hope
exists, no matter how dark the night.

'''Look Storm Song'''
A crystal clear vision appears into your mind, sweeping across your senses
like a desert wind. Samiyah stands upon the soft desert dunes of her home,
a thundering sky above her. Hands raised high, she sings to the storm: the
answer is a series of three lightning bolts raining down from the heavens,
as electric blue as the eyes of the one for whom she is crafting a gift.

'''Look Keywords:'''
Object Keywords: daisy flower glass band
Restring Keywords: Band Glass | Daisy | Flower Hope | Storm Song | Keywords

Crafted as part of the Nicholai Project, in deep respect for the Eldest,
Nicholai, from one proud to name him friend.

===flowing umanori hakama of ebon Yochlol silk===

Long Description: These wide-legged silk pants would allow complete freedom of movement.

Look umanori hakama silk
The fabric of these hakama is thick and luxurious: a heavy black silk that is
pleasingly soft to the touch yet oddly resistant to puncture or tear. Crafted
from the rarest fabric - Yochlol silk, only obtainable by the Goddess Cordir,
when She scolds the demon in spider form sufficiently to obtain its weaving -
the wearer would have full freedom of movement. They are cut generously, with
no restrictive seams that would prevent one from, say, kicking an opponent in
the head, or climbing a tree at a near sprint. All while looking ridiculously
fashionable, at the same time.

Look Yochlol
As your fingers slide over the silk fabric, an odd image slips into your mind,
as smoothly as your skin glides over the garment in your hands. The Weaver, a
singularly determined expression on Her face, squares off against an enormous,
crimson-aura'd spider-creature. Her voice is calm but it contains steel: "You
WILL do as I say. I ask it rarely - Only for those worthy." The demon glares,
shifting angrily, its clawed forelegs dragging along the marbled floor. But it
cannot refuse - and so it begins to spin. "You would remember this one - more
than once, he came down into the depths of your city, and fought you, alone in
the dark. The Eldest." At this, the spider-demon hisses, remembering, mantling
in anger, and then grudging respect. The Thread spins on...
 

===the Sephirot of the Eldest===
long description: Glowing symbols hover in the air, each individual, each a part of a collective. 

Look Sephirot:
Seemingly flowing out of the intensely powerful aura of the sorcerer before you,
a series of glowing symbols appear. They seamlessly shift, one into the other, a
whole in truth, yet each unique and independent, as if distinct notes in a chord
or leaves on a tree. Glimmering, pulsing in time to a heart long since still, an
incantation wrought by a will that is ageless and eternal and ancient - they are,
because he wishes them to be.

Look Will
A sense of wordless rage, thirst and anger washes over you, centuries old, ancient
before entire continents rose from the Maelmordian Sea. Emotion such as this could
scorch earth to bare stone -- and yet, it is held in check, this Kindred blaze, by
a schooled, disciplined will, stronger than iron, tempered by millenia of practice.
It is this focus that created and maintains the Sephirot.

=== (Sneaky) split-toe black spidersilk tabi===
Long Description: Even devoid of feet to animate them, these spidersilk tabi look positively sneaky. 

Look Tabi:
Heavy, matte black spidersilk - yes, that terribly rare Yochlol kind, and boy is
she cranky about it - has been used to craft tabi that exude sneakiness. From a
hue the color of midnight that seems to absorb light around it, to the soft sole
that would not give away so much of a whisper of sound at the wearer's step, the
essence of this footwear is cat-like stealth. With a split toe that would permit
the wearer to practically sprint up a tree trunk or balance deftly atop the wire
passages above Harpers, these tabi are made for one who is active and must move,
in silence, through dangerous places.

Look Catlike hair:
A single clear pawprint on the upper calf area of the left boot, and a scattering
of hairs clinging to the silk, mark these tabi as owned by one who is owned by an
interesting array of felines.

Look Yochlol:
A clear, vibratingly angry image wavers in your mind's eye, of the Yochlol, that
ancient and horrific demon in spider form, being commanded by the Lady Weaver. A
slash of its forelimb in Her direction indicates the creature's overwhelming ire
at a second request in a single moon's span. Yet, the Lady will not be refused -
though the creature seems to relent some small amount when she hears to whom her
labors will be gifted.

Cordir: /* Current TFC Explorer's Society Information */

== Historical (As of February 1997)==

The TFC Explorer's Society is an elite group, filled with those who are not happy merely to accumulate experience. These adventurers seek, search, and explore their way across the vast realm of TFC, hunting down adventure. Entry into this select band is achieved in one of two ways: 

* When a new area is installed on the MUD, there is often an associated Quest with the opening. The first player to find the area and a given item within it wins the quest and automatic entry into the society. 

* If a player distinguishes themselves as exceptional in word, deed, or action in their handling of the challenges faced on the MUD, they may be admitted to the Society in a special ceremony. Members of the Society are recognized by the Medal they wear, and they are expected to wear it at ALL times. Immortals are honorary members and are not listed on the roll. 

'''The following have gained admission to the Society:''' 
[[Syrinx]] (also recipient of the Medal of TFC Bravery) 
[[Gygnor]] (also recipient of the Medal of TFC Bravery) 
[[Jerald]] (also recipient of the Medal of TFC Bravery)

==Current TFC Explorer's Society Information==
Entry into the select band of mortals who make up the society's membership is achieved in three ways. First, when a new area is installed on the MUD, the first player to find the area and a given item within it wins the quest and automatic entry into the ranks of the society. The second method relates to deeds done. If a player has shown themselves as exceptional in word, deed, or action in their handling of the challenges faced on the MUD, they may be admitted to the society in a special ceremony. The third method is to discover a hidden game feature in a special quest to find that feature. Members of the society are recognized by the medal they are expected to wear at ALL times.

warning that a horrible danger may lurk all too near. The caster's bane, 
manatherite, is clearly visible in the stones of this cave, adding to a

[Exits: east west] 
This chamber was obviously the site of a horrible battle long, long ago. 
Extensive damage to the side of the chamber is visible: Deep gashes in 
the rock from claw and weapon reveal glints of manatherite, the melting 
char of acid etching into the stone, and large rocks scattered about from 
impact to the ceiling. The scent of decay is faint upon the stale air. To 
the west, the chamber seems to open up into a larger cave, judging by the 
echoes of sound emerging from that direction. Marks gouged into the floor 
reveal that at some point, something large was dragged in that direction.

At the Bottom of a Plunging Fissure 
[Exits: east west up] 
Razor sharp stalagmites and stalactites line the floor and upward sloping 
walls of this chamber. Shaped like a funnel, the ceiling grows narrower 
as it rises towards the fissure above. A smaller side tunnel branches to 
the east, but the strangely cold, foul air that flows outward from it is 
warning that a horrible danger may lurk all too near. The caster's bane, 
manatherite, is clearly visible in the stones of this cave, adding to a 
sense that this is a dangerous place to be.

impact to the ceiling. The scent of decay is faint upon the stale air. To 
the west, the chamber seems to open up into a larger cave, judging by the 
echoes of sound emerging from that direction. Marks gouged into the floor 
reveal that at some point, something large was dragged in that direction.

At the Bottom of a Plunging Fissure 
[Exits: east west up] 
Razor sharp stalagmites and stalactites line the floor and upward sloping 
walls of this chamber. Shaped like a funnel, the ceiling grows narrower 
as it rises towards the fissure above. A smaller side tunnel branches to 
the east, but the strangely cold, foul air that flows outward from it is 
warning that a horrible danger may lurk all too near. The caster's bane, 
manatherite, is clearly visible in the stones of this cave, adding to a 
sense that this is a dangerous place to be.

==Official Information==
 
==Player Provided Information==
STR = '''[[Strength]]''' - A rating of how strong you are. 
INT = '''[[Intelligence]]''' - A rating of your learning capacity. 
WIS = '''[[Wisdom]]''' - A rating of your judgment. 
DEX = '''[[Dexterity]]''' - A rating of your agility. 
CON = '''[[Constitution]]''' - A rating of your health. 
CHR = '''[[Charisma]]''' - A rating of your influence. 
LUC = '''[[Luck]]''' - A rating of how random events affect you (for and against). 
 
Just because your stats are at MAX, does not mean you don't need to wear any of the stat. Racial maximums for each stat vary from race to race (see help race<attribute> for racial comparisons) so depending on your stat rating (LOW, BAVG, AVG, AAVG, HIGH or MAX) you will need to adjust the amount of a given stat you wear. As an easy point of reference, all humans at MAX in any stat require 7 for "perfect" (the maximum amount of that stat your character can wear while still gaining bonuses from that stat). 

When looking at the help race<attribute> charts, an easy way to figure out how much YOU need to wear is by comparing with humans. Each spot lower than humans will require one more of the stat at MAX, and the inverse for races higher on the chart. Finally, once you've determined how much you would need to wear at MAX, you can work backwards adding on stat points required for each level below MAX you are.

_________________________________
 
Scores rolled at MAX during character creation *can* be higher than the listed values. I have seen a MAXed stat (specifically luck) drop and still be MAX. LOW is also a range, being anywhere from BAVG-1 to, I would assume (but have not confirmed), 3. 
It looks to me like the racial relationships have changed, in some cases fairly drastically (elves ranking 8th in LUC would MAX at 14, not 18, for example).
According to the methods Corri used, the races I have looked at would have the following MAX stats (I assume human baseline is the same): 
Hum: STR: 18 | INT: 18 | WIS: 18 | DEX: 18 | CON: 18 | CHA: 18 | LUC: 18
Aar: STR: 16 | INT: 19 | WIS: 17 | DEX: 21 | CON: 16 | CHA: 18 | LUC: 14
Elf: STR: 17 | INT: 22 | WIS: 17 | DEX: 18 | CON: 17 | CHA: 19 | LUC: 14
Gia: STR: 21 | INT: 20 | WIS: 15 | DEX: 16 | CON: 18 | CHA: 17 | LUC: 17
Hel: STR: 17 | INT: 21 | WIS: 17 | DEX: 17 | CON: 17 | CHA: 16 | LUC: 21
Sah: STR: 17 | INT: 17 | WIS: 19 | DEX: 20 | CON: 17 | CHA: 16 | LUC: 16
 
I can also confirm that at least some of the stat descriptions (BAVG, AVG, etc) are no longer a single point. I have seen BAVG and AVG each remain unchained through 3 trains, and AAVG and HIGH both change to the next stat after only one train was used (the stat was AVG when 3 trains were used and ended up at MAX).

== Training Your Stats ==
''(From the TFC For Newbies website, by [[Nyx]])'' 
Trains are used to increase your stats. You will start with a few of them, 2 to 4 depending on your race, and with luck you will occasionally get one when you level. They are uncommon, though, so be careful not to waste them. Prior to level 12, your stats are still shifting of their own accord, so using a train merely effects the potential of that stat. Training after level 11 affects the stat itself, so most people wait until then. That way they don't end up wasting a train on a stat that was going to end up at its maximum anyway. The choice, however, is up to you. You can find out how many trains you have by checking your score and finding the line that looks like this: 
You have 2 training sessions remaining. 
To use a train you must first find a special mob that is a trainer. If you are under level 5 you can train with the individual who watches over your class’ section of Camp Tolanrael. If you are level 5 or bigger then your best bet is to find the trainer in your hometown. All hometowns have one. They are usually well-traveled and respected members of their society. You know you have found a trainer if you type TRAIN and see something like this: 
''You have 2 training sessions.'' 
''You can train: str int wis dex con chr.'' 
If you type TRAIN and are told “You can’t do that here” then you’ll need to keep looking. If you are having trouble finding the trainer in your hometown, ask for help. 
Once you have found a trainer and you are ready to train a stat, all you have to do is type TRAIN , where is the abbreviation for the stat you want to have increased. You cannot train luck or any stats that are already at their maximum.

Bard

Cordir: /* Performance Criteria */

==Official Information==
Bards serve many diverse roles in life. They are entertainers, historians, explorers, trouble finders, trouble solvers, diplomats, curiosity seekers, tinkerers, and sometimes another sword in the fight. Given their various roles, and that they are seemingly into everyone's business, bards have learned from several disciplines. They fight enough to be at least somewhat competent with the sword. They have picked up enough magic here or there to cast an odd spell or two. And their curiosity may have taken them through a locked door or two, though that can be neither confirmed or denied. One day, the bard may be rubbing elbows with the common folk, ear to the ground for new adventure. That same bard may be in the company of kings and queens the next day.

As bards are the "glue" of society, all races have some version of the bard.

See Also: '''[[Levelcheck]]''' & '''[[Perform]]'''.

== Performance Criteria ==
The bard class has a role-play foundation. Aside from other performances, demonstrations, story tellings, historical accounts, and other works that the bard may participate in, a bard is periodically reviewed by a council of high-ranking bards (HELP [[Bards Council|BARDS COUNCIL]]). As a bard grows in skill, more is expected of him or her. The following is a brief summary of what is being looked for during a Bards' Council 
review: 
 
4th level - The bard performs in front of an audience. There are no specific quality expectations, and the performance need not be original. 
9th level - The bard performs in front of an audience. The performance need not be original. Participant is graded on stage presence. 
14th level - The bard creates an original work. This may take the form of a song, poem or story that is done in front of an audience, or a small written work that is made public. There are no specific quality expectations. 
19th level - The bard creates an original work, which will be evaluated on quality. 
24th level - The bard creates an original work. 
29th level - The bard creates a major original work. 
 
Out of character note: "Original" doesn't necessarily mean that the player needs create the work him/herself. The player can get as much help as s/he needs from others but the work must be original and not performed or presented yet on TFC. The idea is to have fun, not for perfect style.

===Learning Spells Permanently ===
As a bard, unlike other classes, your spells do not go up in damage or effectiveness with use -- they stay at the point at which they were learned permanently. This means that it is VERY important to know the level of your spell before you learn it permanently! 
 
To figure out what level your spells are at, prior to memorization:
* Go to the '''[[Mountain of Knowledge]]''', and purchase a crystal sphere from Astaldo
* Attempt to '''[[Imprint]]''' the sphere with the spell you want to memorize. (syntax: "Imprint (spell name) 30") This will attempt to imprint the spell at level 30. The failure message will tell you what level the spell is currently memorized at. 
 

===Bard: An Overview===
'''By Whistler:''' 
The bard is the most difficult character class to both to play, and to level. I would not recommend a bard as your first character in TFC, because it really is so difficult to play. It is so difficult, that since the inception of the class a few years back, only one ('''[[Cadee]]''') has achieved the coveted maximum possible level. (Other character classes can usually max out with a couple months of play time.) Once you have tried some other characters, and have a handle on where and what is going on though, it can really prove to be a lot of fun. Over the years, I’ve tried my hand at all the possible class/race combinations, and have enjoyed none of them so much as I’ve enjoyed the bard. 

The bard is NOT a combat class. If you are looking for a run and shoot, or a min-max pker, look elsewhere. The bard is designed to put the roleplay back into rpg. Whereas other characters can level simply by gaining xp (read ‘killing stuff’) the bard can only increase their spell casting level by finding and memorizing scrolls and scores—then casting some of the memorized spells. Their skill level can only be increased through the successful completion of progressively more difficult quests: [[Mobhunt|Mobhunts]], [[mobmastery|Mobmasteries]], [[lq|Location Quests]], and performances. This means that if you’ve got a creative bent, or enjoy acting or writing, you’ll love playing a bard. If such is anathema to you, you don’t want to go this route. For me though, as I have said, this class has been the most fun. 

So why play a bard if it’s so tough? Well, there are a few reasons. One is the challenge. Another is that bards can do a little bit of everything, with some exceptions. Bards cannot wear metal armor, dual wield, or use two handed weapons. (There has been a little discussion about changing certain aspects of this.) Bards CAN do some things which are normally class restricted. (For example, a bard can [['''Memorize''']] the thug skill ‘rush’ which allows them to knock down an opponent at the beginning of combat.) Bards also have access to Lyricals, which are rare and sometimes powerful bard only scroll-type items. And finally, playing a bard can allow you to partially circumvent certain racial restrictions. Taking myself as an example, Halflings are normally disallowed to play mages, but as a bard, I have a number of Mage spells that I have learned, and use on a regular basis. 

Bards do well in groups. Any person(s) grouped with a bard receive a special ‘fortified’ bonus. Yes, just hanging around us can make you feel better about yourself, and add to your confidence. Special bard ‘performance’ spells (distinct from quest performances) are also usually beneficial to grouped characters—for example, ‘perform managen blossoms’ vastly boosts the mana regeneration of those grouped with the bard—at a cost of rapid mana depletion for the bard him(/her)self. 

Grouping with others also benefits the bard. It allows for much faster xp advancement than by solo play, and the bard can benefit greatly from the spells, skills and knowledge of others when they are location questing or mobhunting. (They may not undergo mobmastery quests while under the influence of others’ spells, and having a spell cast on you when attempting such a quest will result in a quest failure.) 

The play is the thing though. If you choose to play a bard, really role play them. Does your bard have an ego? Are they an emo? Coward? Nuts? Lisp? Racist? Is their art form something other than song? (I havn’t seen a jester yet…) do they tumble, are they an acrobat, poet, mime? Do they stutter? (B-b-baby, you ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet…) 

Come up with a role, really play it, and let the fun ensue….

===General Bard Etiquette===
By '''[[Whistler]]''' 
Being a bard can be very competitive. 

There are only so many scores out there, and lyricals seem to pop only one at a time, with about 3-4 hours between them. so what do you do when you see another bard on? 

Well, what i do is try to be considerate of the other person. if i am focusing on xping, i may do a locate score for the other person, or pit any scores i find that i'm not particularly interested in memoing. (you should do this anyway, except please, sac any score of common you find!) 

I ask the other bard what they're working on. if they are lower level than myself and looking for scores at the same time i am, i may switch to focus on my xp, or do a mobm or an lq. if they're working on skill level, i offer to mobhunt register, and then don't participate in the mobhunt. 

Keep others apprised of Nevyn Sightings, or location of lyricals you may not be interested in--this can work to your benefit because it will help another pop that you might be interested in. Let people know when you have found a lyrical that others could be looking for. 

Above all, try to remember that your role in tfc is one of roleplay. when interacting with other characters...well, to put it in the words of my grandfather, "Whatsoever you choose to do in this world, do it with Panasche!" 

These are the etiquette rules i try to which i try to stick, though the same may not work for you. 

For example, if you are a bard in an Evil following, it would be wholely appropriate to be more competitive, give false information, etc...i dunno, i just follow the music. But please, some Panasche! 

Also, give some thought to a musical instrument. Every bard should have some instrument. If you get a decent weapon talk to some of the gods about a restring to make it into one. 

When someone else is having a performance (or performance review), try to attend. 

If you are going to have a performance (now i've screwed up on this one, so i need to point it out here-) check to make sure there is not a mobhunt or scavengerhunt in progress. some who might otherwise attend your performance might not due to their investment in the hunt. 

that's all for tonight folks!

Syntax: levelcheck 
 
Unlike other multi-classed characters bards level using other methods than 
experienced gained while killing mobs. This command is used to tell the 
bard what areas he or she has completed and what areas need additional 
attention. 

==Player-Supplied Information==
(From [[The Bard Primer]] by [[Oook]]) 
Bards can get an idea of what they need to do to level by using the “levelcheck” command. This will return a list of requirements still needed to level and looks something like this: 
'''> levelcheck''' 
You need 8522 experience points to level your 1st class. 
You have not cast enough spells to advance. 
You haven't learned enough archmagic to advance. 
You haven't sufficient spell knowledge to advance. 
You don't know a wide enough variety of spells to advance. 
Try again once the requirements are met. 
You need Bards' Council review (HELP BARDS COUNCIL for more information). 
You need 10 mobmasteries to advance. You have 8. 
You need 20 mob hunt points to advance. You have 17. 
You need 55 location quest points to advance. You have 44. 
Try again once the requirements are met. 
 
As you can see, the xp needed for the 1st class (Combat) is made very clear. The requirements for Skill are also specifically set out. The only part that needs some deciphering is the requirements for the Magic class. You never know how many more spells you need to memorize or cast, but you are given an idea of what you need to do. 
* If you haven’t cast enough spells to advance, cast more. (These have to be spells from memory, not ones directly recited from scrolls or spells you know permanently.) 
* If you haven’t sufficient spell knowledge to advance, you need more spells memorized. They can be the same ones you have already memorized; you just need more charges in your brain. 
* If you don’t know a wide enough variety of spells then you need to memorize some you don’t already have in memory. (At later levels this may require memorizing arch magics off of spell crystals.) 
* If you don’t know enough arch magics then you need to specifically memorize some spells arch mage spells off of spell crystals. 
* If you don’t know powerful enough magics then you need to memorize more spells at higher levels. 
“Levelcheck” is also the means by which you tell the system to check if you are ready to level your Magic or Skill class. (Combat will level automatically when you collect enough xp.) So if you think you are getting close, just type in “levelcheck” periodically and see if you level. 
 
===Archmagic===
There are many theories on what the Archmagic requirement is, exactly. Some feel it is the studying of Lyricals. Others, say it is Bard ability scores. Still others feel it is very high level scrolls. Another school of thought is that it is the studying and/or memorizing of Spell Crystals. I firmly agree with [[Oook]] that it involves spell crystals -- ''whether you are able to memorize them or not''! Try and memorize every crystal you can get your hands on. It has helped me, even when I failed! - [[User:Samiyah|Samiyah]] ([[User talk:Samiyah|talk]]) 09:36, 6 December 2012 (MST)

==Official Information==
Bards serve many diverse roles in life. They are entertainers, historians, explorers, trouble finders, trouble solvers, diplomats, curiosity seekers, tinkerers, and sometimes another sword in the fight. Given their various roles, and that they are seemingly into everyone's business, bards have learned from several disciplines. They fight enough to be at least somewhat competent with the sword. They have picked up enough magic here or there to cast an odd spell or two. And their curiosity may have taken them through a locked door or two, though that can be neither confirmed or denied. One day, the bard may be rubbing elbows with the common folk, ear to the ground for new adventure. That same bard may be in the company of kings and queens the next day.

As bards are the "glue" of society, all races have some version of the bard.

== Performance Criteria ==
The bard class has a role-play foundation. Aside from other performances, demonstrations, story tellings, historical accounts, and other works that the bard may participate in, a bard is periodically reviewed by a council of high-ranking bards (HELP [[Bards Council|BARDS COUNCIL]]). As a bard grows in skill, more is expected of him or her. The following is a brief summary of what is being looked for during a Bards' Council 
review: 
 
4th level - The bard performs in front of an audience. There are no specific quality expectations, and the performance need not be original. 
9th level - The bard performs in front of an audience. The performance need not be original. Participant is graded on stage presence. 
14th level - The bard creates an original work. This may take the form of a song, poem or story that is done in front of an audience, or a small written work that is made public. There are no specific quality expectations. 
19th level - The bard creates an original work, which will be evaluated on quality. 
24th level - The bard creates an original work. 
29th level - The bard creates a major original work. 
 
Out of character note: "Original" doesn't necessarily mean that the player needs create the work him/herself. The player can get as much help as s/he needs from others but the work must be original and not performed or presented yet on TFC. The idea is to have fun, not for perfect style.

===Learning Spells Permanently ===
As a bard, unlike other classes, your spells do not go up in damage or effectiveness with use -- they stay at the point at which they were learned permanently. This means that it is VERY important to know the level of your spell before you learn it permanently! 
 
To figure out what level your spells are at, prior to memorization:
* Go to the '''[[Mountain of Knowledge]]''', and purchase a crystal sphere from Astaldo
* Attempt to '''[[Imprint]]''' the sphere with the spell you want to memorize. (syntax: "Imprint (spell name) 30") This will attempt to imprint the spell at level 30. The failure message will tell you what level the spell is currently memorized at. 
 

===Bard: An Overview===
'''By Whistler:''' 
The bard is the most difficult character class to both to play, and to level. I would not recommend a bard as your first character in TFC, because it really is so difficult to play. It is so difficult, that since the inception of the class a few years back, only one ('''[[Cadee]]''') has achieved the coveted maximum possible level. (Other character classes can usually max out with a couple months of play time.) Once you have tried some other characters, and have a handle on where and what is going on though, it can really prove to be a lot of fun. Over the years, I’ve tried my hand at all the possible class/race combinations, and have enjoyed none of them so much as I’ve enjoyed the bard. 

The bard is NOT a combat class. If you are looking for a run and shoot, or a min-max pker, look elsewhere. The bard is designed to put the roleplay back into rpg. Whereas other characters can level simply by gaining xp (read ‘killing stuff’) the bard can only increase their spell casting level by finding and memorizing scrolls and scores—then casting some of the memorized spells. Their skill level can only be increased through the successful completion of progressively more difficult quests: [[Mobhunt|Mobhunts]], [[mobmastery|Mobmasteries]], [[lq|Location Quests]], and performances. This means that if you’ve got a creative bent, or enjoy acting or writing, you’ll love playing a bard. If such is anathema to you, you don’t want to go this route. For me though, as I have said, this class has been the most fun. 

So why play a bard if it’s so tough? Well, there are a few reasons. One is the challenge. Another is that bards can do a little bit of everything, with some exceptions. Bards cannot wear metal armor, dual wield, or use two handed weapons. (There has been a little discussion about changing certain aspects of this.) Bards CAN do some things which are normally class restricted. (For example, a bard can [['''Memorize''']] the thug skill ‘rush’ which allows them to knock down an opponent at the beginning of combat.) Bards also have access to Lyricals, which are rare and sometimes powerful bard only scroll-type items. And finally, playing a bard can allow you to partially circumvent certain racial restrictions. Taking myself as an example, Halflings are normally disallowed to play mages, but as a bard, I have a number of Mage spells that I have learned, and use on a regular basis. 

Bards do well in groups. Any person(s) grouped with a bard receive a special ‘fortified’ bonus. Yes, just hanging around us can make you feel better about yourself, and add to your confidence. Special bard ‘performance’ spells (distinct from quest performances) are also usually beneficial to grouped characters—for example, ‘perform managen blossoms’ vastly boosts the mana regeneration of those grouped with the bard—at a cost of rapid mana depletion for the bard him(/her)self. 

Grouping with others also benefits the bard. It allows for much faster xp advancement than by solo play, and the bard can benefit greatly from the spells, skills and knowledge of others when they are location questing or mobhunting. (They may not undergo mobmastery quests while under the influence of others’ spells, and having a spell cast on you when attempting such a quest will result in a quest failure.) 

The play is the thing though. If you choose to play a bard, really role play them. Does your bard have an ego? Are they an emo? Coward? Nuts? Lisp? Racist? Is their art form something other than song? (I havn’t seen a jester yet…) do they tumble, are they an acrobat, poet, mime? Do they stutter? (B-b-baby, you ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet…) 

Come up with a role, really play it, and let the fun ensue….

===General Bard Etiquette===
By '''[[Whistler]]''' 
Being a bard can be very competitive. 

There are only so many scores out there, and lyricals seem to pop only one at a time, with about 3-4 hours between them. so what do you do when you see another bard on? 

Well, what i do is try to be considerate of the other person. if i am focusing on xping, i may do a locate score for the other person, or pit any scores i find that i'm not particularly interested in memoing. (you should do this anyway, except please, sac any score of common you find!) 

I ask the other bard what they're working on. if they are lower level than myself and looking for scores at the same time i am, i may switch to focus on my xp, or do a mobm or an lq. if they're working on skill level, i offer to mobhunt register, and then don't participate in the mobhunt. 

Keep others apprised of Nevyn Sightings, or location of lyricals you may not be interested in--this can work to your benefit because it will help another pop that you might be interested in. Let people know when you have found a lyrical that others could be looking for. 

Above all, try to remember that your role in tfc is one of roleplay. when interacting with other characters...well, to put it in the words of my grandfather, "Whatsoever you choose to do in this world, do it with Panasche!" 

These are the etiquette rules i try to which i try to stick, though the same may not work for you. 

For example, if you are a bard in an Evil following, it would be wholely appropriate to be more competitive, give false information, etc...i dunno, i just follow the music. But please, some Panasche! 

Also, give some thought to a musical instrument. Every bard should have some instrument. If you get a decent weapon talk to some of the gods about a restring to make it into one. 

When someone else is having a performance (or performance review), try to attend. 

If you are going to have a performance (now i've screwed up on this one, so i need to point it out here-) check to make sure there is not a mobhunt or scavengerhunt in progress. some who might otherwise attend your performance might not due to their investment in the hunt. 

that's all for tonight folks!

===Learning Spells Permanently ===
As a bard, unlike other classes, your spells do not go up in damage or effectiveness with use -- they stay at the point at which they were learned permanently. This means that it is VERY important to know the level of your spell before you learn it permanently! 
 
To figure out what level your spells are at, prior to memorization:
* Go to the [[Mountain of Knowledge]], and purchase a crystal sphere from Astaldo
* Attempt to [[Imprint]] the sphere with the spell you want to memorize. (syntax: "Imprint (spell name) 30") This will attempt to imprint the spell at level 30. The failure message will tell you what level the spell is currently memorized at. 
 

===Bard: An Overview===
'''By Whistler:''' 
The bard is the most difficult character class to both to play, and to level. I would not recommend a bard as your first character in TFC, because it really is so difficult to play. It is so difficult, that since the inception of the class a few years back, only one ([[Cadee]]) has achieved the coveted maximum possible level. (Other character classes can usually max out with a couple months of play time.) Once you have tried some other characters, and have a handle on where and what is going on though, it can really prove to be a lot of fun. Over the years, I’ve tried my hand at all the possible class/race combinations, and have enjoyed none of them so much as I’ve enjoyed the bard. 

The bard is NOT a combat class. If you are looking for a run and shoot, or a min-max pker, look elsewhere. The bard is designed to put the roleplay back into rpg. Whereas other characters can level simply by gaining xp (read ‘killing stuff’) the bard can only increase their spell casting level by finding and memorizing scrolls and scores—then casting some of the memorized spells. Their skill level can only be increased through the successful completion of progressively more difficult quests: [[Mobhunt|Mobhunts]], [[mobmastery|Mobmasteries]], [[lq|Location Quests]], and performances. This means that if you’ve got a creative bent, or enjoy acting or writing, you’ll love playing a bard. If such is anathema to you, you don’t want to go this route. For me though, as I have said, this class has been the most fun. 

So why play a bard if it’s so tough? Well, there are a few reasons. One is the challenge. Another is that bards can do a little bit of everything, with some exceptions. Bards cannot wear metal armor, dual wield, or use two handed weapons. (There has been a little discussion about changing certain aspects of this.) Bards CAN do some things which are normally class restricted. (For example, a bard can [[memorize]] the thug skill ‘rush’ which allows them to knock down an opponent at the beginning of combat.) Bards also have access to Lyricals, which are rare and sometimes powerful bard only scroll-type items. And finally, playing a bard can allow you to partially circumvent certain racial restrictions. Taking myself as an example, Halflings are normally disallowed to play mages, but as a bard, I have a number of Mage spells that I have learned, and use on a regular basis. 

Bards do well in groups. Any person(s) grouped with a bard receive a special ‘fortified’ bonus. Yes, just hanging around us can make you feel better about yourself, and add to your confidence. Special bard ‘performance’ spells (distinct from quest performances) are also usually beneficial to grouped characters—for example, ‘perform managen blossoms’ vastly boosts the mana regeneration of those grouped with the bard—at a cost of rapid mana depletion for the bard him(/her)self. 

Grouping with others also benefits the bard. It allows for much faster xp advancement than by solo play, and the bard can benefit greatly from the spells, skills and knowledge of others when they are location questing or mobhunting. (They may not undergo mobmastery quests while under the influence of others’ spells, and having a spell cast on you when attempting such a quest will result in a quest failure.) 

The play is the thing though. If you choose to play a bard, really role play them. Does your bard have an ego? Are they an emo? Coward? Nuts? Lisp? Racist? Is their art form something other than song? (I havn’t seen a jester yet…) do they tumble, are they an acrobat, poet, mime? Do they stutter? (B-b-baby, you ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet…) 

Come up with a role, really play it, and let the fun ensue….

===General Bard Etiquette===
By [[Whistler]] 
Being a bard can be very competitive. 

There are only so many scores out there, and lyricals seem to pop only one at a time, with about 3-4 hours between them. so what do you do when you see another bard on? 

Well, what i do is try to be considerate of the other person. if i am focusing on xping, i may do a locate score for the other person, or pit any scores i find that i'm not particularly interested in memoing. (you should do this anyway, except please, sac any score of common you find!) 

I ask the other bard what they're working on. if they are lower level than myself and looking for scores at the same time i am, i may switch to focus on my xp, or do a mobm or an lq. if they're working on skill level, i offer to mobhunt register, and then don't participate in the mobhunt. 

Keep others apprised of Nevyn Sightings, or location of lyricals you may not be interested in--this can work to your benefit because it will help another pop that you might be interested in. Let people know when you have found a lyrical that others could be looking for. 

Above all, try to remember that your role in tfc is one of roleplay. when interacting with other characters...well, to put it in the words of my grandfather, "Whatsoever you choose to do in this world, do it with Panasche!" 

These are the etiquette rules i try to which i try to stick, though the same may not work for you. 

For example, if you are a bard in an Evil following, it would be wholely appropriate to be more competitive, give false information, etc...i dunno, i just follow the music. But please, some Panasche! 

Also, give some thought to a musical instrument. Every bard should have some instrument. If you get a decent weapon talk to some of the gods about a restring to make it into one. 

When someone else is having a performance (or performance review), try to attend. 

If you are going to have a performance (now i've screwed up on this one, so i need to point it out here-) check to make sure there is not a mobhunt or scavengerhunt in progress. some who might otherwise attend your performance might not due to their investment in the hunt. 

that's all for tonight folks!

==Bardic Spells and Skills Explanation==
Okay, so bardic spells and skills can be a bit tricky. This might help answer some questions regarding them. 
 
When talking about bards and spells, it gets confusing because you have spells that are permanently learned, spells that are memoed off scores, spells that are memoed off scrolls, and spells that you just know naturally. 
 
In this explanation, all spells memoed off scores but not permanently learned will be referred to as charges. For example, I will mention casting charges and casting spells differently. All spells memoed off scrolls will be referred to as memoes. Thus you can cast a charge (memoed off a score), cast a memo (memoed off a scroll), or cast a spell (spell permanently learned). 
 
When a bard starts off with a spell, say Soul Rift, he starts by either memoing scores or low-level scrolls. That spell is known at level 1 (casting a charge will cast a level 1 Soul Rift). That bard then needs to cast charges and memoes of Soul Rift to increase the spell level. The more times he casts charges of Soul Rift, the higher the spell level becomes. While the exact ratio is unknown, it seems that roughly 3 cast charges of a spell boosts the spell level by 1. Casting a memo of Soul Rift may boost it one or two levels, but that exact ratio is undetermined. 
 
Thus, to get a spell such as Soul Rift to maximum charge casting level, a bard needs to cast it approximately 93 times. 
 
However, the maximum level a bard can cast a spell at has a direct correlation to the level at which it can be learned by the original magic user class. The maximum level for the bard’s spell charges is level 32 minus the lowest level at which the spell can be learned by another magic class. This means that a bard can get to the point where he is casting charges of Soul Rift at level 31 (a Shaman gets Soul Rift available at level 1, and 32 - 1 = 31). 
 
Now, when a bard casts a memo (spells memoed off scrolls), they are cast AT his current spell charge level on the spell, and NOT at the level of the scroll he memoed it. Thus, if somehow you memoed a level 30 rift scroll and only had your Soul Rift charges at level 1, then when you cast that memo, it would be a level 1 Soul Rift. 
 
Permanently learning a spell off a scroll is possible and advisable when doable. This is done my maxing out the natural charge level of the spell, casting all the charges, memoing the spell off a scroll, then permanently learning it. This is advisable for any bigger-level spells. For example, if one is to permanently learn Improved Invis, one can only get the bardic charges up to level 13 (32 minus 19 – the level when mages get Improved Invis). However, one can sometimes find a level 30 Improved Invis Scroll. When learned this way, one gets the “Bard Invis” which is crazy good. 
 
Expertise is another thing that effects a bard’s spells. A bard’s expertise refers to how well he knows a spell that he cast cast charges or memoes or spells of. Normally, non-bards can only get a spell to the expertise level of “superb”. Bards can get their expertise to “expert”. This is done by maxing out the spell level of the charges (such as getting Soul Rift to level 31), then casting another 12-20 charges or memoes of the spell. Before the spell level is maxed out, a bard’s expertise on the spell fluctuates wildly, but once the spell level is maxed out, the expertise gets higher and higher until it hits expert. This is one way of knowing if a spell level has hit the maximum. 
 
Yet another correlation is between spell charges and mana. It burns mana each time a bard memoes a score or scroll. The amount of mana burned is a direct proportion to the level the bard knows the spell at. This measurement applied to spell scores only is approximately 18+(6x spell level known). So, if a bard knows Soul Rift at 31, he will burn off 204 (18 + (6 x 31)) mana to memo a Soul Rift score. The number of charges on the score have no influence on this. It should be noted that spell scores normally have 2-4 charges of a single spell on them. 
 
Skill scores are different. They seem to do the same thing in regards to expertise level and mana burning, but levels cannot be determined. When you permanently learn a skill, it must be learned off a skill score. There are no scrolls for skills. It is recommended that any skill permanently learned should be leveled to the maximum with just charges. This can be determined by getting two scores of the desired skill, memoing one, burning the charges, memoing the second score of the same skill, and comparing the mana burn. If the skill is burning the same mana and the expertise is maintained at expert, then it should be the maximum level possible for the skill. 
 
It is important to know that casting all the charges of a specific spell does not delete the progress made on the levels of that spell. If a bard casts all the charges of Soul Rift until it isn’t showing up on his memo list, and then memoes a Soul Rift score, it will come back at the same level it was before. However, it WILL wipe all the progress made if the scores are memoed over a permanently learned spell. 
 
Very little information is needed regarding skills and spells that are naturally known (info, info3, refresh) besides the fact that these can no longer be wiped using Amnesic Lyricals. 
 
As a side note, memoing a score of a spell you already have permanently learned burns no mana at all. 
 
As a final note, this all is just what is testable for bardic spells. Bards get an additional bump on spells beyond what is testable. This happens when the Efficacious Lyrical is studied. A great example of this is the Make Bag spell – an eff 50 shaman casting this spell makes a bag that can carry 32kgs, but an eff 50 bard casting this can make a bag that carries 36 – 37 kgs.
