(4th IR) What does your character write?

[Tokiwong]

Hannover looks up from the Gnomish books.

"Oh enough of this! This magic, or at least a form of it has been arround for ages. Ever heard of the tome of Leadership and Influence?"

"But not of this scale Hannover... not on the scale we face today..."

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

The Dark Crusaders

Thanks to Sollir, very large numbers of people Faerun-wide have turned to the worship of the Infernal Powers.
Now, they are organizing into military units, and calling themselves the Dark Crusaders.

Their goal?

To annihilate all religions other than their own.
To subjugate nations under Infernal Rule.
To summon vast numbers of Infernals to the Prime.

They are making good headway on all three fronts.

Although they have not yet whelmed any large areas, their forces are active in most parts of the Forgotten Realms, and many nations are under attack by their forces.

 

[Kalanyr]

Arkanyl hands over the meeting one of the books with only the tongues magic on.

"Perhaps this can help us work out what parts of the magic spread the domination effect and counter it more easily. Misha, I have not yet decided whether I will do this, your arguments are good but I also believe the Noble Gold One there and Hannover also makes an excellent point. "

 

[Mr. Draco]

"No one is forcing these people to pick up one of my books and read it. If they wish to learn of my art, or of science, then they can find a copy and read it. They may learn what they wish from them, there is no mind-cumpulsion magic in my texts. They are merely a way for information to be disseminated to those who need it in order to make informed descisions."

"Arkanyl, these pages here contain the full gnomish magic." Holding up the stack of papers he previously dropped on the table. "Study these and you shall may be able to find more about the gnomish spells.

(OOC: Edena, any reaction on the texts I've been putting out or any would-be sponsors? )

Gus smiles when this news hits the meeting... he says something a bit disturbing to the pacifists...

"Finally, someone I can really fight."

Hannover takes the pages and begins a battery of tests to dicern the nature of the enchantments on these pages.

Are there any other magicks hidden beneth the tounges spell, Edena?

"You twist my words, I am well aware that a sword is not evil, no more so then an arrow, or a helm. But a sword can be controlled, in my hand, a sword will do great good, in another's great evil, rarely does a sword commit a man to a certain path, it is the man that commits the blade to the path. Oversimplification is the trap that our enemies would like for us to sink to..." Misha replies.

"These printing presses, strip that choice from men, they force them to think a certain way, and this evil can be spread like a cancer to all corners, by simply perusing a book, and shaing it with a friend... Good nor evil, neither matters for I beleive that these tomes insinuate their ways into the mindset of another, and force a way of thinking? This way of thinking is wrong, all freepeoples, good or evil have a choice to beleive what they beleive, and should not be forced to do otherwise by an outside force through simple brainwashing..." Misha states.

"That is why we're researching this counterspell. To forever break that weapon. I can give you my worrd that I will forever search those books until all of them will be burned. But I also do not want to strip away from a farmere the possibility to learn how to use a sword to defend his family without forsaking his work in the fields. The new kind of books we have in mind will never, and I really mean never force even the smallest thought in their reader. I admit they could be misused. But I will stand against those who will."

"Indeed, you see as I do."

"However, we must soon make plans, for not all are with us on this, and I fear that things may be moving on the horizon."

 

[Kalanyr]

"Idiots summoning Infernals ? *censored* I so need to publish more banishing spells. "

"Finally, someone I can really fight."

"Spoken like a true warrior... though, one should not stand alone, my blade, and my skill will defend this land, if it comes to it," he turns back to the rest of the panel, "let us find how this magic works, break it, that will be enough for me, I do not expect to change your minds, despite my feelings..."
