Entrance to the Citadel.
Moving south from the gate, this space opens up into three distinct basilicas to the north. Each basilica is separated from the others by tall stonework thatare parallel to each other.
Here, inside the curtain wall, the stonework has been solidly fitted together that even the thinnest of blades could not be slid through the space between two of the hewn ashlars.
This opening through the curtain wall is the only entrance from the south into the Citadel. The massive Inner Gate looms open to the south. Hands folded in the sleeves of his dark,
voluminous robes, a cabalist stands ready to guard his city. Hands folded in the sleeves of his dark, voluminous robes, a cabalist stands ready to guard his city. Kenort is here. He

((Walking to the library))
Kenort follows you north.
Genort follows you north.
An elegant library.
Immediately noticeable upon glancing around the room are the rows upon rows of books and scrolls, all of various sizes, shapes, and ages. Lining each wall arbookshelves, about
eight feet tall and made of a dark, polished wood. Set up for display along their tops are various Ankyrean artifacts. Small ladders and stools allow people to browse the higher
shelves or to reach the objects atop them. Similar free-standing bookcases demarcate the sides of two aisles runningalong the diagonals of the room, with openings in the room's
center marking a spot from which all four walls can be viewed. On the northern wall is a grand fireplace, a small fire simmering amidst the glowing coals therein, with a wide, low
hearth that measures several paces in length. Hung above the mantelpiece is a painting depicting Habbak, the last Ard-Dhasani of the Second Mortal Epoch. In the opposite
direction, an open section in the wall admits a view of a spiral staircase, an extensive map barely visible on the wall beyond.The tiling on the floor here appears to be simple at first,
the mosaic colorfulbut arbitrary. From the center of the room, however, the perspective causes each of the four triangular sections of the mosaic to resolve into a skillfullywrought
scene depicting a phase of the Ankyreans' creation of the World Tree atthe Flame of Yggdrasil. In one section, the Conclave of Devotion meets to decide on the flame's creation; in
a second, the Conclave of Science and Natureplants a small tree within the sacred area. The third section portrays the Conclave of Magic holding a rite to help the tree grow, and
the last shows the Conclave of Arts eternally preserving the event in art and writing. Placed tastefully atop these mosaics are low, oaken tables surrounded by deep padded stools
on squat legs, used for research and work within the library. A tall Atavian woman stands here, wings outstretched comfortably. The scroll being held by Habbak in the painting over
the mantel gives off an inviting, cream-coloured light. A small sign indicates that LIBRARY CATALOG will list the materials in this library.
You see a single exit leading south.

Dim light fills the room, filtering in from the small window to the rear, and augmented only slightly by the two candles on thewall. The wooden plank floor has been swept spotlessly
clean. Even the fireplace is clean-swept of ashes. Clutching a golden blade, a plated arm risesup from a massive square slab of iron as homage to the God of Valor. Seasone The

This box has been carved out of a fine piece of mahogany, then polished to a fine glossy finish. An image of a hunched serpent baring its fangs and ready tostrike has been deeply
engraved into the lid. Fine light cuts have been used for detailing around the serpent's belly while larger and deeper yet precise, clean cuts have been used on areas around the
back of the head and down the spine. A fine coat of silver dust has been brushed over the engraving, the dustsettling into the image. Complementing its natural beauty, more dust
settles into the larger groves of the snake causing the perception of light against thelighter cuts ware less dust settles. Two small metal hinges have been attached to one side of
the box allowing the lid to flip open and over to one side to allow easy access to the contents inside. A small but sturdy silver snake has been attached on the opposite side of the
lid, it can coil itself over into a tight circle that forms a strong latch to keep this box closed and secure Underneath the latch the initials L. M. have been woven together into Intricate
engraving then brushed over with a fine shimmering silver powder.
It has 56 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 15 pounds.
It bears the distinctive mark of Lupin Majere.

((Walking to the library))
Kenort follows you north.
Genort follows you north.
An elegant library.
Immediately noticeable upon glancing around the room are the rows upon rows of books and scrolls, all of various sizes, shapes, and ages. Lining each wall arbookshelves, about
eight feet tall and made of a dark, polished wood. Set up for display along their tops are various Ankyrean artifacts. Small ladders and stools allow people to browse the higher
shelves or to reach the objects atop them. Similar free-standing bookcases demarcate the sides of two aisles runningalong the diagonals of the room, with openings in the room's
center marking a spot from which all four walls can be viewed. On the northern wall is a grand fireplace, a small fire simmering amidst the glowing coals therein, with a wide, low
hearth that measures several paces in length. Hung above the mantelpiece is a painting depicting Habbak, the last Ard-Dhasani of the Second Mortal Epoch. In the opposite
direction, an open section in the wall admits a view of a spiral staircase, an extensive map barely visible on the wall beyond.The tiling on the floor here appears to be simple at first,
the mosaic colorfulbut arbitrary. From the center of the room, however, the perspective causes each of the four triangular sections of the mosaic to resolve into a skillfullywrought
scene depicting a phase of the Ankyreans' creation of the World Tree atthe Flame of Yggdrasil. In one section, the Conclave of Devotion meets to decide on the flame's creation; in
a second, the Conclave of Science and Natureplants a small tree within the sacred area. The third section portrays the Conclave of Magic holding a rite to help the tree grow, and
the last shows the Conclave of Arts eternally preserving the event in art and writing. Placed tastefully atop these mosaics are low, oaken tables surrounded by deep padded stools
on squat legs, used for research and work within the library. A tall Atavian woman stands here, wings outstretched comfortably. The scroll being held by Habbak in the painting over
the mantel gives off an inviting, cream-coloured light. A small sign indicates that LIBRARY CATALOG will list the materials in this library.
You see a single exit leading south.

Dim light fills the room, filtering in from the small window to the rear, and augmented only slightly by the two candles on thewall. The wooden plank floor has been swept spotlessly
clean. Even the fireplace is clean-swept of ashes. Clutching a golden blade, a plated arm risesup from a massive square slab of iron as homage to the God of Valor. Seasone The
Industrious is here. Her eyes glint calculatingly. Oje Abi Ti, Dark ScholarNeoma Krogh-Chen, The Paradigm is here. She wields a tower shield in her left hand. You see a single exit

This box has been carved out of a fine piece of mahogany, then polished to a fine glossy finish. An image of a hunched serpent baring its fangs and ready tostrike has been deeply
engraved into the lid. Fine light cuts have been used for detailing around the serpent's belly while larger and deeper yet precise, clean cuts have been used on areas around the
back of the head and down the spine. A fine coat of silver dust has been brushed over the engraving, the dustsettling into the image. Complementing its natural beauty, more dust
settles into the larger groves of the snake causing the perception of light against thelighter cuts ware less dust settles. Two small metal hinges have been attached to one side of
the box allowing the lid to flip open and over to one side to allow easy access to the contents inside. A small but sturdy silver snake has been attached on the opposite side of the
lid, it can coil itself over into a tight circle that forms a strong latch to keep this box closed and secure Underneath the latch the initials L. M. have been woven together into Intricate
engraving then brushed over with a fine shimmering silver powder.
It has 56 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 15 pounds.
It bears the distinctive mark of Lupin Majere.

Nighty once said that listening to Ace was like sandpaper to the ears. I'm inclined to agree.And Ace is a Raja.

So right. But that's not the most annoying thing about him! The most annoying thing about him is his prism tattoo. He was ALWAYS prisming to me without asking when he was a Pally. Ashmore and him both, actually. It was annoying, too, especially since one or the other of them, I'm pretty sure, had a crush on me and was taking extreme exception to always prisming in to find me ratting with Asilient. I can't remember which one it was now...Asilient probably remembers. All I can recall is asking Koron if I'd really get in trouble if I killed one of them...the answer was never conclusive, as Koron didn't like them much, either.

Ace is annoying, loud, idiotic,a rrogant, and self centered. he;s one of the few people I had an inclination to severly injure.As to hitting on Avian, I have. Oh my, a Syssin must have hypnotized me *peer Arota*
Anyway, I have recorded proof he's hit on me. And that he likes my kisses.
It's a scary, scary world.
Erm...anyway, I think Jahara can attest to my incredible disliking of Ace, she was there when I wanted to sever certain portions of his body from other, certain portions. Little sod...
Poted by Jahara on 28 Sep 2005 03:59 -
I don't really enjoy mindless bashing of someone, especially when they aren't here to see what others think of them, though i'm fairly sure many...MANY have made it very clear exactly what they thing of Ace.Ace's main problem was that he believed he could do anything he wanted without any consequences. So far, it's lead him to a very...hard life. See kids! Rules are good things!
Bah, no more disney movies for meee...
Poted by Avian on 28 Sep 2005 04:35 -
I bet I could drop Ace.

The funny part as far Ace is concerned in my oppinion is that after he joined lumies he was ready to become a full member in about one month ... I guess that says all about lumi requirements. Poted by Yreogh on 28 Sep 2005 14:18 -
Lumi's novice reqs are reading and learning lessons, and that's all, I think.Or at least, that's what I've been told.

Wrong. They're a lot harder than that.
If you want, you can go into the Lumi GH. At the tutor, there's a journal full of the requirements.

Nah. That's too much work. Our reqs are under construction and I need to focus on those right now.

Sentaari reqs are taking an overhall as well...hmmm... Poted by Jahara on 29 Sep 2005 04:59 -
All of the novice reqs are going through a little editing I think. Something about Sponsors and not having to have a background, something something, i'll have to look into it later. Seems like every time I ask no one wants to tell me anything.Sentinels must have a secret society within itself.

Haha, owned. The Magi tier system has also undergone a significant overhaul, now to see how it turns out Poted by Arota on 29 Sep 2005 16:11 -
Oi, Parhelion. There's one problem with the Earth tier project number 3. Getting the head of earth...well, getting their ATTENTION, let alone their pre-approval for a book, is nigh on impossible. My alt's been trying for a year.The Paladin reqs are undergoing changes to, obviously, because the landmarks are imploding (to use Hadoryu's term). I've actually just stopped landmarking, to be honest...I don't see the point anymore. Hm. Parhelion, how much would a Magi pay for some stag's horns?

Hah, I gave mine to our wandering humgii...I suppose I could've asked if a bloodborn wanted them but...why would I do that? Poted by Avian on 29 Sep 2005 17:44 -
Bloodborn.blood.getContainer() = phial;phial != bucket;
Arota == wrong;
Arota.pwned();

That's messed up. Where will I get free creds now?
Poted by Jahara on 30 Sep 2005 03:55 -
They still have mentor...thingies. Or Sponsors or something. I dunno what they're called now. Poted by Arynn on 30 Sep 2005 03:56 -
They still have mentors and always will, but guilds can now only recommend them, not require them because the large influx of newbies has made a lot of mentors overloaded so most won't even take proteges anymore. Poted by Jahara on 30 Sep 2005 04:00 -
So what's this Sponsor thing I keep hearing about? Poted by Arynn on 30 Sep 2005 04:02 -
As far as I can tell...rumor. I'll ask Mazzy about it. Poted by Jahara on 30 Sep 2005 04:04 -
Eh, I should probably ask around too. I don't really think they should have changed the novice reqs around, they've been there for a long while, and everyone knows them. Poted by Sarkis on 30 Sep 2005 19:53 -
The SEntaari can be surprisingly enigmatic, even to thier own full members, not telling thme, or giving them any clue whatsoever of what the leadership might be considering. It can be fun, playing "waht will they think up next?" with your peers. I bet next week, the senataari wqill have to wear thier underwear on the outside so that the leader's can make sure it's clean. Poted by Arota on 30 Sep 2005 20:59 -
...the gods decided requiring mentors was bad? What the hell? That's screwed up. What else are mentors there for? And if all the other mentors are overloaded, well, that's just because the other guilds didn't have me back in their beginnings to put in mentor limits to STOP that from happening... Poted by Arynn on 30 Sep 2005 21:02 -
The big boom happened recently because of mass advertising on web-comic sites. The Novice to Mentor ratio use to probably be something like 5:1 or more, now it's about 20:1 and a lot of the mentors, at least in my guild, seem to be disappearing, which I'd hazard a bet on the fact that most people don't like being over-run with true newbies because we've always had a low population. Poted by Asilient on 30 Sep 2005 21:05 -
Yeah. Belakai and Varian said we had to remove any requirements that depended on a novice waiting for an individuals time, i.e. the mentor pretesting. I still say that having a mentor to guide you through guild life is necessary... Poted by Arota on 30 Sep 2005 21:10 -
As do I...but I suppose if there really is such a lack, we'll have to make do. Poted by Arynn on 30 Sep 2005 21:13 -
Hehe, we Magi found a bit of a way around it that we already checked will work. Instead of having mentors pretest, it can be any qualified novice aide. Pretty much, they have to take two tests in a way. Poted by Indiana on 01 Oct 2005 06:11 -
Something similar happened to Achaea a while ago .. I HATED THAT HAPPENNING .. I sure hope it will be better this time. Poted by Syliana on 01 Oct 2005 13:01 -
Ok, one of these days I WILL remember to look at all the pages before replying...anyways..Jaha, I had a long talk with Rhaea about the reqs cause Syli's still annoyed about 'em. Mentors are no longer required to be from the same guild. Sponsors is just something Rhaea came up with so we could keep at least a small bit of control over the Sent novices. No more background, no writing required over 3 sentences long, so that's our new minimum.
I'm still annoyed I'm not allowed to make the reqs harder, Rhaea's told me probation is hard enough we don't need it...I'm going to dread the next few years and the idiots that will get to probation
Poted by Sarkis on 01 Oct 2005 14:40 -
I always thought it was a good idea to require mentors. True, soem of the mentors are overwhelmed by a flood of real newbies, but I tihnk that in soem cases, it jsut shows who's willing to sacrifice a bit of time now, to ensure thier students, and these new players recieve a decent education in this world. By removing mentros, we virtually ensure we will get a flood oif n00bish scum that will overhwelm the game, and drown it out, much like what happened to Achaea. ...Hopefully, this "No mentors" thing will pass after this recruitment drive, and then we can star to cull the scum that slipped through.
Poted by Arota on 01 Oct 2005 17:19 -
Well, if the Divine try to force mentors out of the Pally reqs, they're going to have a time of it. Our entire novice system is worked around having a mentor! And it's usually not that hard for Pally novices to get a mentor...They might get a few rejections because of maxed out mentor limits, but there's always a few people - like me - who never have their full amount of proteges and can always take on more...

Yeah ... *cough* even when they are passed that limit *cough* Poted by Arota on 01 Oct 2005 22:42 -

Well.. You DO know that the mentor limits were increased by two with the new influx, right? Hence why I've got six visible proteges running around and four inactive ones that aren't dormant yet.

Alright, that's my two cents.

GODDAMMIT, they were perfect as they were! *sulk* Especially considering we've had, like, three new knights in the past couple years. It's a wealth of knights considering that for over a decade we had NO new knights...
