The Church of Boccob

Currently led by Spell Lord Tellaqu, the high priest, the followers of the Archmage of the Deities are very active in promoting the use of magic in nearly all aspects of Low'verok life. Boccob is the official patron of the Mage's Guild (Wee Jas is the one worshipped by the guild's necromancers however), and thus often helps promote the actions of the guild with church backing. Tellaqu is a relatively young human man in his early thirties, and a minor noble's son. Thin and black-haired with a small goatee, he bears a passing resemblance to Boccob Himself. Eloquent and blindingly intelligent, the man is considered a prodigy, having held the position of Spell Lord for over ten years, having gained his magical mastery at age fourteen.

While Boccob's priests accept students wishing to learn magic, they do charge a steep fee, though not as much as that required from wizard academies. Those wishing to learn magic from Boccob's priests can pay part of their fees by serving as acolytes during services as well as doing chores around the church. The main advantage from learning from a temple rather than an academy is that (aside from the lesser cost) they will take anyone, regardless of connections or breeding, unlike wizard academies or the Mage's Guild.

Boccob's church is currently backing the status quo on the necromantic reanimation laws, primarily because the reanimation is the major source of acceptance for those practicing necromancy. If reanimation is outlawed, the strong stigma against that brand of magic will undoubtedly resurface in spades. The followers of the Uncaring do not wish to see any branch of magic neglected and shunned because of human laws. The Spell Lord warns the Church's Council that there will be a dangerous imbalance of magic if the laws are revoked.

Halivar, no worries on the length of your post, none at all.

Oh, and there's not just arm-wresting going on at the Wyvern, there's also actual wresting wrestling. Like Greco-Roman style wrestling. That's usually in the back rooms, but it's the inn's main draw.
 

Darren reads through the message once again, then stands in thought, tapping the edge of the message against his leg. Andeluvay. I haven't seen Andeluvay since I gave up my "freelancer" career. Good to see that Orshallan is doing well in the world. Darren leans down and picks up his small backpack and arranges it for travelling, turns to face the small altar at the roadside shrine where he had stopped, makes a gesture of respect to the spirit of the shrine and its sponsor deity, then turns and begins his long walk to the capitol.

BTW, could you describe the weather when it changes? I'd just like to keep weather in mind when I post my bit (i.e. if it rains, he needs to keep his hood up, etc.)
 

Can do Halivar. Tonight it is clear though. :)

Jaik - I hope I wasn't assuming too much with Darren when I posted about him. If that doesn't sound like something he would do (once he got to the city), then I can edit.
