Three Oaths, One Man

[The_Universe]

So, unless either Justice or Jansten change their respective minds, Archonus Bluestar has gone forever, leaving us with only Archonus Arendorr, once more.

However, since one of the Archonae was literally a temporal anomoly, a man outside of time as you knew it, his life (his experiences, his desires, his oaths, etc.) have returned to the man from whence they sprung.

However, unlike with the taint of the Bluestar's memories that Xath and Justice share, this is not something that can be accessed or not as Archonus sees fit. He is one man, with one mind.

At its core, this means:

Archonus has 2 loves: the Queen, Jaine Rhynn, and Xath Stormwind Thunderheart.

Archonus has at least three children on the way, now in every sense of the word: Jaine's twins, Xath's child, and (probably) Dara's as well.

Archonus is bound (eternally, and with mortal severity) by three oaths: An oath of fealty to Jaine Rhynn, and Oath of Fealty to the Bluestar, and an Oath of Alliance to the Circle of the Phoenix. AB had two oaths of Fealty, but no oath of Alliance. AA had no Oath of Alliance, but two Oaths of Fealty. OOC, you can know that unless resurrected, he will be bound by all three from this point forward. He can (of course) choose to break any of them, but atonement can only be granted by one to whom the oath is owed: Only the Bluestar can grant him succor if he breaks his oath of fealty to him, only the circle can grant him atonement if he breaks that, etc.

Archonus is now aware of much of the Bluestar's true intent and purpose (whatever that may be) but *cannot share it with any of you* without breaking his oath to the Bluestar.

He is fully aware of all the events that occurred to AB from the moment of their seperation, and does remember the apocalypse that was so narrowly avoided nearly a year ago.

There are probably a number of other things, but that is what springs to mind as of the moment. Any questions?

Looks like AA will be taking a trip to the Frozen North to chat with Grandpa...

So Circle... what do we have to give him to get our Archonus back?

 

[The_Universe]

Archonus is still bound to the Circle - you don't have to do anything to get him back. He's still yours. Unless the Bluestar specifically requests that he give up his place among you, Archon won't even have to consider such a thing. He is bound precisely as before, but now merely has a second master whose wishes must be honored.

All that being said, the Bluestar cannot force him to act in a contrary nature to *any* of his oaths - his oath of fealty is not more powerful than the oath to Jaine, or the Circle Oath. So, just as he can't tell everything that AB knew about the Bluestar without breaking that oath of fealty, so too can he not betray the Circle at the last second, unless he chooses to break that oath.

Oh the tangled web of fun that has been woven

Completely meta gaming, Mik, do want him to come back? Do want Archon with the memories and stuff?

 

[Archon]

I want AB to stay dead. i want the anomaly to be fixed. It was cool while it lasted but i like the idea of AB's soul reforging with AA's to form Megarchon...or Cpt. Planet....all we need is heart...
Anyway, yes, let AB stay dead, pile more on AA and let's see what happens.
