The Theran Mystique - Volume 2, Issue 4
THERANS TALK BACK ( Part One)

If you wish to have your comments or annoucements displayed here, please send your scroll to HERALD.

BUNNYPOCOLYPSE by Nephit
------------------------
As the non-believer Torkalen has so kindly opened the pages of the Mystique to submissions from non-heralds, I would like to take the opportunity to say a few words. First of all, I'm afraid that I must condemn Torkalen, and all who follow him, to an eternity of pain and misery locked inside a box of pink fire. This horrific future can only be avoided if Torkalen himself will publicaly apologize for the wonton slaying of fuzzy pink bunnies, and promise to do all in his power to spread the word of fuzzy salvation. As I personally believe there is little or no chance that he will see the error of his ways before it is too late, I would encourage all good mortals to put a fair amount of distance between themselves and Torkalen before the coming Bunnypocolypse wipes that silly grin off of his face. Moving on to less severe matters, I would like to extend an open invitation to all Lightwalking citizens of Thera to join the new order. SOLBA, or the Society Of Lightwalking Bunny Appreciators, will be truly instrumental in the salvation of Thera, as it is our job to make sure every citizen is given the opportunity to repent and accept the divine goodly might of Theras greatest creatures. Just send a note to Nephit if you're interested. Rank fourty and up lightwalkers need only apply.

THE IRONY OF THE LIGHT by Zode
------------------------------
This day is much like the rest that one may experience in Thera. A person who walks the Light echoing their tainted beliefs to those who do not follow their path. Erdessa, a healer who hails from the Dwarven colonies, failed in her miserable attempt to purify me. However, they were successful in taking my life, which as a result, reinforced my resolve to spread hate among the land. I shall explain the irony of her ways, her words.

I confronted this Dwarf, asking if they enjoyed the look on my face as my soul was released from it's shell. Her reply was short, claiming purification was administered. "Silly Dwarf", I replied. The very meaning of purifying escapes this lovely maiden, as it does so many others who choose the virtues of Light. To purify is to cleanse ones soul of sin, of hatred. How is this accomplished by murder? It is not. Only oneself can choose to be purified. To accept that you have led a life of sin, of hate. It is our souls that are embued with this essence. Not our mortal shells, our bodies. How can these lightwalkers truely purify those who stand against them? By offering words of encouragement, of understanding. Thera has seen true purveryors of the light, but there have not been many. So what of those who walk Thera as I speak? They live the life of Light's hypocrisy.

Is it not a shame that one of Corruptness, of the Dark, can better understand the virtues of walking in the Light? Indeed it is. It is this that brings my sword to strike you down. It is my lust, my impurity, the pollution of sin in my soul that causes this. For creatures like myself, we are incapable of change, unable to digress. You can not purify us by your petty words. Only the final blow that sends our soul to the Abyss will cleanse our bodies of this Chaos.

I await you.

THE SEEKER CLAN by Odgu
-----------------------
I have created a new clan Seeker. It is focused upon mages for their arcane abilities which none are judged unfairly so it is open to all. They sell their spells and talents to better further both their knowledge of their own abilities and Thera. To make sure the applicants are not corrupt they will have standard cabal questions as well as several multipule questions to test their intentions. All applicants must have at least 5 self enhancing spells mastered and 3 offensive. The more spells and skills mastered the more qualified you may become to enter. Seekers will only do what benefits themselves and not attack directly but let others do it for them unless to defend themselves.
