Following Description / FINFO:

Darkclaw, leader of Keepers of the Elements, Greater Power.
Following's self-perceived alignment: Chaotic Neutral.
The followings of Cytoxan, Isolas are considered enemies.

Brief following description:

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. Our followers
will represent the elements in their actions accordingly.

Earth represents change, balance and physical healing.
Air represents intelligence, wisdom, intellect and communication.
Fire is, of course, strength, power, protection and aggression.
Water represents emotion, religion and self-growth.
Spirit is one who has mastered all of the Elements, which would be the ordained.

Membership

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."

• • • Side note on the Ebrithil ***

I had chosen the following mortals to make up the Ebrithil, as they have 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.

Requirements for Entry

1. You must be level 10 or higher.
2. You must convince DarkClaw of your sincerity in joining.
3. You must show DarkClaw a place of nature and voice what it means to you.
4. You must complete a quest designed by DarkClaw or one of the current Keepers of the Elements.
5. You must pick which of the Elemental sects you wish to become a part of and adhere to that path. This path may be changed at a later time with DarkClaw's blessing.

Rules

1. Obey all rules of The Final Challenge as a whole.
2. Obey all commands given by Immortals. If you do not agree with these commands or feel you weren't treated fairly, obey the command and THEN discuss it with DarkClaw.
3. Do not instigate or take part in verbal arguments or cut-downs. Your actions reflect our following as a whole. What you say and/or do CAN affect the rest of us.
4. Share extras with the following when you can and assist your fellow followers. I do not ask that you offer every item to the following first, but please keep in mind that working together keeps us strong and helps us to learn.
5. Adhere to the Elemental path that you have chosen. These sects were chosen for a reason, to help keep order and to strengthen us as a whole. If you are not happy with your path, or if you feel that you might benefit more in another, please feel free to discuss it with DarkClaw.
6. No PKing (Player Killing) is allowed without the permission of DarkClaw. As a neutral following, I expect us to be passive unless aggression is shown to us, or harassment.
7. Have fun! This is just as important as each of the other rules. We would not be here were it not fun.

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!
