Discussion for a Kingdom of ashes

[Xath]

I thought I had posted the last few questions, but apparently, that is not the case. I can't do it now because I'm not at home, nor will I be until about midnight, so I'll probably post them tomorrow.

"When someone does this - could they/or anyone also explain if we know why the dragon invaders keep putting up the bluestar's marks?? Is it more complex then just trying to link to a known evil even if they are not in reality linked?"

I figured this out yesterday, but Liz has known for some time. The King is controlling the forces from the West in the quest to get all of the Spirit blades. (At least) one of these is beyond Quarion's Wall, but as the King, he can't just send forces up to attack the Bluestar for no reason, so he has to get the support of the people. How does he do this? Have the "Bluestar" attack various cities to rally public support.

There was another reason for this as well, but I can't remember it right now. Liz?

Are we going to tell people the con, or bid our time? I know telling anyone now would be tricky, but so could waiting...
What happens if the king gets/takes the bluestar's blade? Isn't that where his soul is or somethin'?

If what the King told you is true, then the blade the Bluestar possesses serves as his phylactery. From what you have gathered, a phylactery is the repository of the Lich's soul, and the ultimate source of his immortality.

You're not sure what the effect of the King having the blade would be on the Bluestar, if it would have any effect at all. However, it is thought that the only way to actually destroy the Lichlord is to destroy both his phylactery, and his corporeal body.

Nonetheless, the King's pursuit of other spiritblades would tend to indicate that he has a larger purpose in mind than simply destroying the Bluestar. The real question becomes if the falconblade's status as Aregonn Bluestar's phylactery is a coincidence, or if it is somehow intrinsic to what Tain et. al. are doing.

Worst Case Scenario

the king seeks the bluestar's Phylactery/Blade because it has the power to control him and thus unite the three greatest evils behind the king.

There was another reason for this as well, but I can't remember it right now.

Remember that the King may have an ulterior motive for getting the armies north of the wall. It's really not terribly likely that even several hundred thousand soldiers are going to succeed in defeating the Bluestar's forces, let alone acquiring a specific item that it more than likely hidden somewhere in a vast kingdom. In all likelihood, all those men and women are (un)dead by now. Those that are not (if any) have more than likely found themselves a new master. If the price of survival is loyalty, I doubt that many soldiers would find the price too high.

But, on the bright side, Archonus Bluestar might make some friends!

Kennon asked for this a while ago for the website--

Here's one about the religion in the world--

Secondly, also please send me your character sheets, small blurbs about your character, your news, and any character history you have. Whoever has the quotes, could you send those too please? And anything else you think you would be cool on the website.

Okay so a little behind, but here is L'Aurel's backstory/description -sorry not at my home computer much where I have all this stuff

Thanks Kat! I just e-mailed you, asking where the exalted document was! Crazy!

The Exalted document, in particular, is very important. Those of you who were on the path, read the document. Even those of you that have lost it,read it, and then we'll talk about how far you have to go.

For those of you trying to atone for lost exultation, look back over the document. Now, try to imagine something even MORE stringent than the stuff I wrote up. That's the kind of extreme, saintly goodnes that you'll need to perform before you can access the exalted powers. If that sounds too hard, start thinking of a new direction for your character. There will be NO exceptions.

Also, the next part of the game may be lethal. VERY lethal. My standard rule is that new characters start 4 levels behind the lowest level member of the group. However, resurrection of some sort may be available, at a price. You know that Fr. Dorn sometimes has that power, but that you won't be coming back as yourself, exactly should he emerge from his insanity enough to use it.

Confusion

If someone could let me know what's up with the breakfast email, I would really appreciate it.

I have lots of things to say... information to share... but, I think I'm supposed to be waiting on the email to share it... I don't really know. I don't exactly understand how this whole things works, to begin with...
I have no clue what's going on with it...

Should I just be sending out plans and stuff in emails/posting it on the board... or should I continue waiting?
