The Four Lands - The Great North

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston listens to the discourse with interest. He does not seem to be influenced one way or the other.

With great risk comes great reward. If we can control, no, not control, but help the spirit rediscover himself and then free him, we might do great good in turning the tide of darkness that threatens the South.

First order of business would be, how can we communicate with the spirit? Or how can The Book be used for good?

With great power comes great responisibility. Even if we have powers to destroy the Book, it would be destruction of the sentient spirit that might be redeemed. It is our responsibility as children of Light to try and do that.

Last part Vorian targets at Vadric and Anniston, more then toward more....hm...'heretical' party members.

OOC: forgive my use of 'heretical', I don't know any other english word that would signify religious differences is practice that are in opposition...

 

[Dracomeander]

"I can sense the great strife that has surrounded this tome. If you say there is more beneath that surface, I shall have to trust you with that. It would be a great victory to be able to redeem such a spirit, but as Bertrand says, we must beware the possibility of deception. Such habits are exceedingly hard to break once established. In truth, sometimes it is easier to subvert a spirit to another purpose than it is to redeem one that has already been subverted."


OOC: Neurotic, I think the word you are really looking for is 'liberal'. No one here is truly opposed to the Light just more open-minded than what convention requires.

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth sighs.

"I will do it." He states quietly.

"It has fallen to me, as the Book's bearer. I will protect the Book and therefore the spirit that resides within. I doubt anyone but an innocent can redeem the Spirit, but at least it will be protected and not used for evil."

ooc: Jaroth is a humble man who desires only to protect and nurture the peoples of the Four Lands. He is not dogmatic or rigid in his approach. And he is not a pious man. But he does genuinely have the best interest of all of the peoples of the lands in his heart. He takes this burden on not because he thinks he can redeem the spirit, but because he feels it is his duty not to destroy a being that has been corrupted by others. He feels a nurturing connection to the Spirit and is sad about its fate. His sigh represents the acceptance of his duty even though he knows it might kill him or through him do great evil. He is determined to overcome the Spirit's deceptions. In fact, his next feat will be Iron Will, unless he already has it. I forget.

Anniston watches carefully to see how DeSion will react to Jaroth's offer.

Vadric raises an eyebrow and ponders Vorian's words. "You make the assumption that the spirit contained within the book can be redeemed. But if that is a possibility, then I would be forced to agree with your conclusion that it is our duty to try."

 

[Neurotic]

Vorian Tolgar

I strongly believe that if something is not initially evil it can be redeemed. And this spirit, while other worldly, didn't feel demonic, if it's visions can be trusted, of course.

Meetings

"You must understand, the book draws evil to it like a moth to a light, they can sense the book even at great distances and the power it contains..so it either must keep moving or be secured in a formidable complex of arms and magic." de Sion says "As to using it or controling the book , one of your number has already been changed by just a close association with it would you dare risk more?"

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

"Before you joined us we were discussing how we might dampen the book's influence and more importantly, make it harder to detect. Have you any thoughts on that?"

 

[J. Alexander]

Meetings

"I kept the book in a warded silver container and had it wrapped in pure silk, that worked somewhat...but i fear the power to truly ward it is beyond anyone at this tabel for the present."
