[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 185853, member: 2020"] [b]THE TARAAKIAN MESSAGE TO IUZ[/b] A taraakian messenger is sent to Iuz. It is a taraakian girl, this time. As with all the other taraakians, she has snow-white hair, fair skin, and a birthmark which looks like a kind of eloquent longsword on the side of her neck. Her bird is bluish in tinge, magnificent like all the others, as large as the largest of giant eagles. She is wearing the same kind of black and red uniform that Allendrellus was wearing - it covers her entire body except for her head and neck. She also is carrying a sheath of red, a golden sword inside, and this item is Peacebound. She asks for an audience with Iuz, and when she finally reaches him, this is what she communicates: We are the taraakians. We are what we are. You must decide for yourself what we are. We wish you to commit an act of faith. We wish you to have faith in us. We wish you to have this faith, without explanation. We wish you to have this faith, without justification. We wish you to have this faith, without any reason except for one: We state now that what we are asking you to do, will ultimately in the end benefit you, your people, Chorizan, and the world you seek to build. We offer no proof of the truth of our statement. We offer nothing. We ask you to accept our word on faith. We ask you to believe in us, when we say that we are here to help you. We ask you to believe in us, when we state we are acting in your best interest. We also ask that you endorse, bless, our obtaining the one charge from the Diadem of Dreams. With this charge, we will be able to alter Reality. We will be able to produce a much larger change in Reality than Vaeregoth could, for our power is much greater than his. We ask that you bless this gift to us. We ask that you bless it because it will benefit you. We ask that you bless this gift because it will benefit your people. We ask that you take our word, in faith alone, that we intend to use the charge of the Diadem in a way that will benefit you. There is power in belief. There is power in faith. There is power in acts both good and evil. The Mists of Ravenloft have shown you this, and the Mists of the Kevellond League have also shown you this. However, the choice must be yours. We cannot make this choice for you, Iuz. You must choose to accept our command to go to the Kevellond League, or refuse us. You must choose to bless the gift to us, or refuse to bless that gift. The choice is yours. [/QUOTE]
