Current Description:

November 3, 2001 - Written by Cordir:
Before you stands the lean figure of an elven warrior. His is an aura of undeniable power, the air around him seeming to crackle with magical energy. His eyes are the intense shade of the darkest purple velvet, and in them, a myriad of emotions can be seen: faith, devotion, anger, hatred, determination, and resolve.
As lanky and slender as whipcord, this elf bears a number of scars and tattoos. Each is a bit of history, a lesson in survival, or a mark of pride as he rose in power within the Coven and the favor of his Goddess. One in particular, half-hidden on his throat beneath the fall of his dark hair, marks him as the Patriarch of the Ash Moon Coven.
As your gaze lingers, his hand slips to the hilt of the wicked dagger he bears, and with a gutteral word, the aura of power that swirls about him intensifies even further. Those eyes meet yours, and he whispers harshly, "Friend or foe, be about your business and cease your gawping."

Player Provided Information:

Restrings:

(Braided) the might of three spirits

Long Description: These three glowing strands of light have been interwoven.

Extra Description: Spirits
(Blue Aura) Magna Cum Laude of Passion's Blade
(Shadowed ) the penultimate of Druidcraft
(Red Aura ) the Patriarch of the Coven
.
Three spirits. Three essences. Three lifetimes of valor
and courage. Interwoven, entwined, one.

(Shrouded) the Lady's Gift

Long Description: A deceptively simple garment of embroidered silk lies here.

Extra Description: Garment
The shimmering, soft folds of this garment have been touched by
a great power. Woven by a lady's hand, crafted and offered in a
pure gesture of justice and respect, this piece of clothing can
protect it's wearer from sorceries and lend deadly skill to any
battle upon the field.

Extra Description: Embroidery Embroidered
Tracing the delicate embroideries upon the hem, collar, and cuffs
of this garment, a repeating pattern of spiderwebs. A few of them
are stained slightly darker than the rest, where the tears of the
Lady of Fate fell upon them.

Extra Description: Gift
The shimmering surface of this cloth is so brilliant that it casts
a slight reflection of your peering face. For a moment, the image
shifts, and you see a Lady, imperious and coldly angry, attempting
to right a wrong by committing a wrong action herself. Instantly,
the wrath of the High Ones falls upon her, and she is cast down...
yet the intent, spirit, and presence of her Gift remains, as well
as the sentiment behind it.


(Woven) a band of gathered moonlight

Long Description: The light of a distant moon glimmers here.

Extra Description: Moonlight
In sacred places known to few, the Coven gathers.
Their beloved Goddess leads them in united ritae,
beneath the fullness of a shuddering ashen moon.
For that soul greatest among Her select, the Lady
has caught up the glimmer of that moonlight, and
had it woven into a band as a token of her esteem
and pride in his courage, heroism and leadership.


a braided belt of cords

Long Description: Dozens of knotted leather cords have been braided to form a belt.

Extra Description: Cords
In each Coven, one person is given the responsibility
of holding its most precious and dangerous artifact -
the measuring cords of each coven member. Upon entry
into a Coven, a postulant's measure is taken. Should
they ever violate the sacred oaths given, that cord
would be used either in magical ritual to rain curses
down upon them... or more directly, applied to their
throats. He who bears the cords of the Coven, holds
its honor.

October 4, 2001: [ Mael posts a proclamation http://finalchallenge.net/tfc/community/timeline/2001/maelproc.html] regarding the reunification of the Coven.

Mael is trying to kill me!'." and 'Wow, I never realized how ugly Maldobar was...' resound throughout the realm.

October 23, 2001: Mael is part of an adventuring group with Lexie, who takes on a series of mobs sent by Tynian. When he mobdies, Maldobar steals the corpse and refuses to return it. Cordir becomes so upset that this has been allowed to occur, that she gives items to one of her followers and orders them to leave a safe room, telling Mael to steal the items. When immediately questioned about this by the God+ staff, Cordir responds inappropriately. She is force-quit and retired. Many on the mud put "Long live Mael & Cordir!" in their titles to protest the situation.

October 25, 2001: Tynian posts a note about the events of the 23rd.

October 26, 2001: Mael does a CR for Kaleyah at the Blue Dragon in Dragon Tower, in the Chamber of Storms, when no one else "Not even Maldobar" (according to her sister Kaori) would make the attempt. In exchange for his help, she gives him a nice amulet.

October 28, 2001: Mael completes a CR in Dragon's Tower for Weezer, just to make Cordir happy and give her time line news. (Cordir gossips, 'C'mon, you mean to tell me, Mael, you haven't heroically rescued someone from a place of Certain Death in the last 24 hours?'.)

November 24, 2001: Belsambar dies on 5th floor of Master's Tower. Rather prophetically, Abe gossips (in common), 'Stinky and Vex commit suicide at Master's. Film at 11.'

November 26, 2001: Ebonie dies in the Dream Realm, and Rocky and Mael (separately) go fetch her some more 'pretty clothes' at Cordir's request from various dangerous places. Mael decides to do one better, and CR's the corpse.

You have been hexed if you are not an ally of Coven and one of the following is true: * The golem representing your following advanced beyond the first round of the golem quest * The golem representing your team specifically advanced beyond the first round of the golem quest . Being hexed means that any member of Bliss' following is permitted by her to attack and kill you. I myself plan to follow through on some of the hexes. You have been warned, if you care. Maybe you should.
