Misha Reacts
Total Control: The Fallacy
Misha's next book is again written without any domination aspects and spread via the underground, he makes it clear that such tomes tht have ANY domination effect are wrong and immoral, no matter what use, these tomes, are still affecting the people, and making them simply pawns. Good or Evil, the outcome is the same the stripping of the sense of accomplishment and the sense of self from the individual, and Misha urges that the people of the Dauntless burn all books with any domination enchanments immediately, and he urges his allies to stop releasing such tomes, and find a way to break the enchanments...
Evermeet
Misha goes before Queen Amlauril, "My grand Queen, these tomes have become an infestation, an easy way for a single person to gain control over the people, and subvert them to their will, even a use for good is one that is horrible, because these books are spread like a cancer to all corners of the world. The Dauntless must act, and make a statement that such tomes are illegal within the lands of the Dauntless, for the protection of the elven people, and all people within the Dauntless must be assured, for such a tome for good or evil released in these lands could create chaos... They must all be burned, for the greater GOOD!"

Krysophrenos begins to send letters to his sponsors and allies to give them advices on the difficult situation.
To all the metallic and gem dragons sympathetic to his cause.
"I turn to you, brothers, because the time is high. The powers of this world fear us, but do not respect us. People thinks we're reknown for our greed, rather than our wisdom. I summon you to show them how much they are wrong. I urge you to show the younger races what the glory of dragons could be. I invite you to cast aside our mutual distrust, and form together a force to be revered and feared, a force capable of making its voice heard through all Toril. I challenge you to definitely prove wrong who says that we will never be a strong civilization again, and fly together towards a new dawn."
To the churches of Helm and Torm, along with a treatise from the Encyclopaedia on the nature of upper planes, celestials and how to summon them and gain their favor.
"If the forces of Hell wage war on us, I think it's wise for us to ally with their fiercest enemy, the Heavenly Host. I trust they won't ask for veneration, thus offending our gods, for indeed we share their same cause. Gustav is a heroic and great general, butI think it's our duty to help and sustain him. If we could grant him new allies, the tides of war would probably change. Please, ask your gods about the proper conduct to keep in these predicaments, and pray them to stand for the free people of Faerun."

OOC: I can’t believe so much has happened in so little time. I think being anything other than a fringe dweller in this game will be well nigh impossible for a once a day poster. 
Orinil mused carefully over the offer made to him by the Gnomes. At first greed and excitement threatened to rise above his implacable facade but his mastery of bluff was up to the task and soon alarm bells began to sound. This offer was too good. Orinil’s skill was in half truths, secrets and subtle manipulations, not ham fisted domination. Immediately he realised that this same offer must have been made to those setting the agenda’s of the increasingly insane world around him. This power was not for him, it was not his style and no fun at that.
However, here was an opportunity too good to pass up. Although the lives of all in Faerun were influenced by these magical books, there were few folk who were actually working with the Gnomes. “I accept”, Orinil spoke with surety, “but on one condition. If I am to be the source of your information and intelligence then I must be able to read every book in the realms without the risk of becoming brain washed, else I will be useless in my role. You will provide me with an artifact which will grant me immunity to the effects of the magic in these tomes.”
Assuming that the gnomes are willing to pursue this agreement, Orinil will begin compiling his masterwork of intelligence on the realms. Firstly it will go to the Gnomes and then the enchanted copy will go to the Sharn. And then the fun begins.
Orinil is hoping that the magical might of his mysterious sponsors will relegate the books' magic ineffective. When they realise what the nature of the books is, he will openly tell them that he expected them to be uneffected and that he still passed them on as to show them the intent of the gnomes. He explains that he is also currently geased to comply to the gnomes wishes, but if with their magic the Sharn are able to free him he could investigate the Gnomes intentions further, pretending to further the gnomes mad plans for domination whilst undermining them. He will also show them the artifact (if the gnomes grant it) and allow them to study it to try and speed the creation of a counter spell.
Shortly after this time the wholly unmagical first edition of the Quarterly Trade Journal 'Orinil's Inside Trading' is released. Its stories, expositions and tips will mesh perfectly with the subject matters of the magical texts circulating the realms. If Orinil is able to read the texts and not be brainwashed, he can study them carefully and insert half truths which fit their content into his own writings. It's funny how Alarah and Asmodeus don't seem to explicitly promote certain trade practices yet there works leave enough space for the cunning mind to milk profit from it.
I realise there are a few assumptions here Edena, so do what you will with Orinil’s actions

Like he should
And Inez Hull, don't be intimidated. Just ask Edena to post a summary of what happened now and then like he always did before. Just read his posts and you'll be keeping up just fine, we had several posters in the last IR who did just fine by that!

Before we go any further, I wish to give you a map of the Forgotten Realms.
I cannot, like Maudlin did, put a map URL up for you, but I can give a description of where things are.
Please refer to the Talking the Talking Forum, the Map of Faerun.
This IR will be a little bit more meaningful if people know where things are.
(William, my appreciations on the Map URLs.)

My character, a very high level cleric of Tiamat and blue half-Dragon shall publish: "Legacy of Tchazzar"- book describing the mighty history of the nation Chessenta, and benefits of uniting the nation under lawful goverment, and "Prophecies of The Dragon Queen"- revealing Tiamat`s future rulership of Faerun, Tchazzar being her aspect, her divine mandate tu rule Unther as the last of pantheon and slayer of Gilgeam, also many anti-Mulhorand and Pro-Tiamat writings appear in Unther and Chessenta.
