(IR) IR Interlude Turn 5 - Turn 6 (thread 3)

[Mr. Draco]

Secret, Edena Only!!!

[color=33333]Edena, I sent you an email as to clarify the diplomatic relations of the UO with Mina. Serpenteye may have forgotten to send you the entire list of "diplomatic steps."

In the case that you do not get my email, the general gist of it is that we offer Mina for her "True God" to be instated alongside the God-Emperor in the official "pantheon" of the Union of Oerth. In our system, the God-Emperor would be the "patron" god of Oerth (and thus the greater god of Oerth), while the "True God" would be the patron God of Krynn (and thus the greater god of Krynn). We offer to begin this change in our religous system as soon as she (Mina) begins to teach us more about the "True God." Kas himself will travel to Krynn to accomplish the negotiations.

Also, we offer Mina technology for an alliance. Any and all technology and information that we may have is taught to the Krynn people under Mina's leadership. Also, many gifts are brought from Oerth for Mina and her "True God." All Kas requests is a complete alliance in order to better spread the word of the "True God" and the God-Emperor across both worlds. He also wishes to hear more of what Mina knows regarding the Red Death and any means to stop it/hinder it, along with any methods Mina may know of keeping undead out of Acererak's control.[/color]

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Here is Mina's response:

She welcomes the spread of technology to Krynn.

She agrees to help the Union of Oerth to end the menace of the Red Goo, and thus end the threat of the Red Death coming to Oerth.
She offers herself and the service of her Knights to do this.
She offers a military alliance with the Union of Oerth.

She feels she is owed something back for this rather major offer of help!

She asks that the One God be set up as an alternative to the God Emperor.
To stand aside him, not beneath him, in the Order of Things in the Union of Oerth.

She and her Knights will not force anyone to worship the One God.
She states that this is a matter of personal choice, for all people.
And the God Emperor has the hearts of the people of the Union of Oerth already.

She offers that the tenets of the God Emperor shall be taught in Krynn.
People in Krynn shall be given the chance to become worshippers of the God Emperor of the Union of Oerth.

What do the emissaries of the Union of Oerth have to say to this offer?

(If you accept her offer, you will gain about 1,000 PL of strength immediately (not including what you could gain by Advancing Your Civilization), but ... the One God will stand side by side with the God Emperor in the Union of Oerth.)

 

[Mr. Draco]

Her offer is aggreable. Thus it shall be.

[Edena_of_Neith]

I need Serpenteye's confirmation on this.
He plays the God Emperor, after all.

 

[Mr. Draco]

Well, I sent Serpenteye an email just now about it. Although from what he said earlier, i believe he would agree to it. But I suppose we'll just have to wait for him to post...

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Well, also - to be fair - I need to hear from the Alliance of Oerth.
Perhaps they wish to engage Mina in diplomacy, and should have a chance to.

The Torilians (ala Alzem, Forrester, and Zouron) also need a chance to engage Mina in diplomacy.

 

[Kalanyr]

One of Kalanyr's Clones travel to Krynn. He seeks out Mina and speaks to her.

"Greetings, I am Kal, a representative of a faction on Oerth who has recently turned their backs on the Evil of the world and Embraced the Light. We wish to hear of the teachings of your One God and possibly offer you alliance. If you wish to magically scan my views and philosophies you may do so with my consent (here the clone lowers his defenses against alignment detection) if you will allow me to do the same to yourself. We also wish to learn more of this Read Death, in my journeys across the planes I have heard of this entity but I thought him imprisoned on a distant plane, Gothic Earth or some such as the Sigillians call it, long ago. I bring gifts with me as signs of good will to your people." (Diamonds,Perfume,Weapons are presented).

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Mina regards the emissaries of the Union of Oerth, then looks at Kalanyr.
She speaks, to Kalanyr:

You accept Eilistraee on faith, do you not?
The people of the Union of Oerth accept the God Emperor on faith, do they not?
I accept the One God on faith, and it is disrespectful of you to question that by asking to scan me with magic.

The One God represents peace.
Peace, for the world of Oerth.

The One God represents safety.
Safety for your people against the drow, illithid, and Shade who threaten you.

The One God represents unity.
The unity of the people of Oerth.

The One God represents prosperity.
The prosperity of the people of Oerth.

The One God expects obedience in return.
So does the God Emperor.
So does Eilistraee.
So does Rao.
So do most deities, if not all deities.

The One God expects faith in return.
Most deities expect faith in return.

However, you may scan me, and find what you insist on finding.
Then, you shall draw the inevitable conclusions of those findings.

(Mina seems resigned.)

(The scan reveals Mina to be what she is: she is a young lady of 14. What is distinct about her is her incredible faith, which staggers even Kalanyr. She radiates strong evil also, but she certainly hasn't acted in an evil manner.)

(Mina looks at Kalanyr)

You have seen.

Now, you distrust.
You fear.
You are afraid.

(She points accusingly)

Your fear is what will destroy your world.
Your fear is what will enable the Red Goo to win.
Your fear, makes you weak and divided.

If you would hear my advice, the advice of the One God, you could obtain strength and safety.

 

[Kalanyr]

Kal looks at Mina

"Lady I fear you not, nor do I revile evil after all I stepped from Darkness only recently myself.All should be given a chance for redemption to fear and to hate simply because you are evil would be wrong of me. I still wish to hear your words and I must say your faith is truly impressive even to I who have seen so many faithful enough to give the lives of themselves and their family in service of the Spider Queen. You also misunderstood my intentions with scanning you, I did not wish to scan you I merely asked that if I was to be scanned that you would return the favour. Once more I say I do not fear you and I do not hate you your choices are yours to make this is the center of our beliefs that all are free to choose the Light if they so wish to slay you without giving you a chance is a wrong of great degree. You have done me no harm and I believe you mean me no harm. "

Kal stands and awaits Mina's reply. (Kal is not Kalanyr, Kal is one of Kalanyr's clones)

URGENT MELKOR PLEASE READ!!!!

Melkor we need to talk. I would come to your plane but I think that would be a bad idea for both Forrester and me right now (Not that I am really sure he would care)I know you can not send your Avatar to meet me but if you would send a part of your essence to my plane I will guarantee your safety and your safe return when ever you wish to leave and will in no way seek to keep you against your will. Please before you make ANY decisions talk to me.
