(4th IR) What does your character write?

[Edena_of_Neith]

TO ZOURON

Zouron, a number of nations are offering to sponsor your character.
The Shade (PL 14), Thay (PL 15), Halruaa (PL 15), Dambrath (PL 14) have all offered their support (you can only pick one of them!) assuming you will slant your books to slander and denounce the Chosen of Mystra, Harpers, and Heralds.
You are also getting offers from Thesk (PL 4), Rashemen (PL 8) (assuming you will write of the dangers of magic, and how it should be used cautiously), Amn (PL 4), Tethyr (PL 3), Calimshan (PL 10) (If you will write about how the northern barbarians are behaving irresponsibly, and how they should not be allowed to possess any magic at all), Nimbral (PL 5) (If you will write about the proper use of magic and it's dangers), Lantan (PL 4), and Luskan (PL 4) (assuming you will rebuke the Chosen of Mystra for their foolish behavior in unrestricted spreading of forbidden lore.)
Sembia (PL 7) also offers to be your sponsor. The merchants of Sembia will publish anything for the right price ...

TO ALL PEOPLE WITHOUT A SPONSOR

Kalanyr's threat to the wizards has enraged Halruaa.
Halruaa (PL 15) will sponsor anyone who will rebuke Kalanyr and his Chosen of Mystra, and any of their allies.
Halruaa states emphatically that the Chosen of Mystra are supporting a madman who is going to inevitably unleash catastrophy on the Realms.
One does NOT, says Halruaa, inadvertently spread black necromancy, penumbral lore, planar lore, and the secrets of deep conjuring to just anyone. With great power comes great responsibility - and just how responsibly are the Chosen of Mystra behaving?

Dambrath (PL 14), seeing Halruaa's outrage, gleefully offers to sponsor anyone who will stand up to Halruaa and denounce their wizardmongering in the world of publishing.

 

[Kalanyr]

Larloch ? Hmm, what an excellent source of magical knowledge, I must get an interview with him or one of his agents see if the rumour is true or if he can tell me any interesting lore. Arkanyl immediately sets about trying to organise such a thing.

Arkanyl is also a little surprised where some of the things people are accusing him of came from, since he didn't do any Outer Realm summoning articles or much icky evil stuff.

OOC- As I pointed out in one of my earlier posts.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

The Church of Tymora (PL 3), the Church of Beshaba (Maid of Misfortune) (PL 3), and possibly several other Churches, are offering to sponsor anyone who will rebuke Deel and his books on gaming.
They will offer money, manpower, and protection to anyone who denounces these affronts to Rightful Chance.

Westgate agrees to be a distribution point for your books, Deel, to all places in the Sea of Fallen Stars and Moonsea.
Of course, the Night Masks will take their cut of the profits from the proceeds, and become more powerful ...
Waterdeep agrees to distribute Deel's books.

Deel, Sembia offers to become a Sponsor (you would have a second Sponsor) of yours, if you will reject Westgate's offer of distribution. They are much more reasonable about their taxes, say they.


TO ALL IN THE IR

Unther (PL 5), under heavy attack from Mulhorand, offers to be a Sponsor to anyone who will oppose Mulhorand publicly as the warmongering threat to Faerun that Unther claims Mulhorand is.
Thay might go along with this, too.

TO CREAMSTEAK

Halruaa (PL 15) is offering to be a co-sponsor (you'd have a second Sponsor) of your books, Creamsteak.
Why Halruaa is making this offer, is unclear.
When Dambrath (PL 14) learns of this offer by Halruaa, Dambrath offers to become a co-sponsor of your works, Creamsteak, assuming you will not accept Halruaa's offer.

Both Amn (PL 4) and Tethyr (PL 3) are offering to be co-sponsors of your works, Creamsteak. This assumes you choose only one of these nations, and refuse the offer from Halruaa and counteroffer from Dambrath.

 

[Kalanyr]

Also, if thats how they are gonna play Arkanyl makes sure the next releases of his books are packed chocabloc with the magical secrets of Thay (such as how to perform circle magic) and Halrua (like how to make flying ships).

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

TO ALL IN THE IR

Most magical nations in the Realms are offering to sponsor anyone who will rebuke Janos, for Janos has published a book about how to destroy the Weave.
King Obold and the Orcs of the North (PL 5 and growing), always opposed to the elves (Janos's Sponsor is Evermeet) are offering sponsorship to anyone who will rebuke Janos.

TO JANOS

Janos, the Church of Shar (PL 5) is offering to be a co-sponsor of your books.
Also, the Church of Bane the Tyrant (PL 3) is offering to co-sponsor you.
And, the Church of Cyric (PL 3) is offering to co-sponsor you.
You can accept all of their offers simultaneously.

If you accept these offers, Evermeet will continue to support you ... this will reflect a fundamental shift in Evermeet's attitudes, politics, and alignment.

Conversely, Khelben and his secret Harpstar organization (PL 3), dedicated to reunited men and elves ala Myth Drannor, is offering to sponsor you.
The Knights of Myth Drannor (PL 3) are offering to sponsor you.
The Dalelands (PL 3) are offering to sponsor you.
Evereska (PL 3) is offering to sponsor you.
The Harpers at Twilight Hall (PL 3) are offering to support you, IF you will not accept the support of Khelben and his Harpstar organization.
You can accept all these sponsors simultaneously, and if you do Evermeet will wholeheartedly support this.

However ...

You must pull all your publications on how to destroy the Weave and how the Weave works, and concentrate on Shar and the Shadow Weave. That is the condition of Khelben's support (and the support of the others.)

 

[Kalanyr]

In amidst his other activities Arkanyl reads a copy of Janos's work and thinks to himself:

"Ah yes, have to remember to work out some spells to repair the Weave for the next publication too. So much to do so little time. "

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

TO BUGBEAR

King Obold and the Orcs of the North (PL 5) are offering to sponsor your character, Bugbear.
Interestingly, Luruar (PL 3) is also offering to sponsor you, but not if you take King Obold's support.

Incredibly, the Goblins of the North (PL 4) are also offering to sponsor you. It seems the Avatar of their head honcho deity (Kostithak) appeared personally and commanded them to do so.

The Dwarves of the North (PL 3) will sponsor you along with Luruar, assuming you accept Luruar and you do not accept either the orcs or the goblins.

Finally, Luskan (PL 5) is offering to sponsor you. You could accept their support, the support of King Obold, and the support of the Goblins (thus effectively creating an alliance), but you could not then take the support of the dwarves or Luruar.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

TO ALL IN THE IR

Thay (PL 15 now) offers it's sponsorship to ANYONE (it does not matter who) who will tear down, slander, distort, and otherwise make a fool out of Janos.
In Thay, anyone caught with one of Jano's books is slowly tortured to death (although the higher level wizards eagerly read every one, hoping to exploit some advantage against other Red Wizards, after this is over.)

Halruaa again offers it's sponsorship to anyone opposed to Janos.
And when Halruaa does, Dambrath again makes it's counteroffer - it will sponsor that person, if he will not accept help from Halruaa.

 

[Janos Audron]

[Eh, how come I pissed Thay off? I write a book that makes them look good, while not sharing any of their secrets, and they get *mad* at me?]

I make a counter offer to Khelben and the others:

Either I will remove the Weave Destruction spells from my book, or I will add Weave Repair spells.

So, it will stay a *study* on the workings of magic, which *will* include how the Weave works, because I will never throw away half of my study.

TO LICHTENHART

Krysophrenos the Gold Dragon is being approached discreetly by several nations and peoples who realize the winds of change are in the air, and feel something must be done.

The Faerie of Faerun (PL 10) offer their sponsorship.
The Metallic Dragons of Faerun (PL 3 because of almost non-existent cohesion) offer sponsorship (these dragons, in demihuman or dragonform, are spread all over the continent) offer their sponsorship.
The Gem Dragons of Faerun (PL 3 for the same reasons) offer their sponsorship.
The Church of Torm the True (PL 3) offers it's support.
The Church of Helm the Watcher (PL 3) offers it's support.
Luruar (PL 3) offers it's support and sponsorship.
Cormyr (PL 4) offers it's support.
Rashemen (PL 7) offers it's support.
The Denizens of the High Forest (PL 3) offer their support.

And finally, the secret (and it IS a secret) elven Flying City in Ardeep Forest (PL 7) offers it's support.

They all have one thing in common: they want Krysophrenos to be a voice of reason and a voice of caution to the peoples of Faerun.
They are not opposed to change, but they believe a strong voice of warning and caution is needed: the dangers of catastrophic change, war, and destruction are imminently possible.

For example, state the Faerie, look at Netheril: too much knowledge, too quickly, and it's misuse led to the destruction of the Weave.
The Crown Wars saw the destruction of entire regions, and the creation of the Drow.
When a dragon is killed - any dragon, even an evil dragon - that takes a vast amount of energy out of the Weave permanently, weakening the Weave and draining life from the world forever. Or so state the dragons.
High Magic would not be drained away like it is, were it not for the Sundering, which the elves in their foolishness used to create Evermeet, and which almost destroyed the world.
