A Neverending Prayer

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 3:39 am

In prayer? Bah!! I laugh at that. Think what you wish. Yet my homeland fell to a great death. Do you know what they did in their last hours of hope? Get the idea? All that remains is what army came to there to save. Meaning very few village folk remain on my homeland. Let's try to save everyone. Ok?

I did not say that by praying we will achieve dominance in life. I said that in prayer is the power to defeat anything. The only real power is spiritual.

While we are praying for the gods to end this drought, why don't we also pray for them to take away Drakhen Vorkalion? Or the demons and monsters which seek to demolish our homes? Why don't we ask them to take away the criminals and those who would slaugther the dwarves and the halflings?

What makes you think the gods will solve another problem caused by a stupid human when we have always had to find our own ways to deal with our own problems?

If the gods will end the drought for us, then I guess there is no need to do anything more in life since we can just turn to them. Every time some menace comes and tries to destroy our town, we can just pray to the gods and all our problems are solved.

Albernon, if you can bring the rains, needed to return the land to it's former state, then please, go ahead, you should have done somthing months ago, but if you can't however, I would suggest you stop arguing, and pray to the people who can!

If you can destroy Drakhen Vorkalion and his demons, and erase all the destruction and suffering that he brings, and restore the lives that he has taken, then please go ahead, you should have done something months ago. If you can't, I wonder why you never prayed to the gods to take away this horror that has plagued us for so long, as you hope to do so for this new problem now.

I don't trust her. Nor will I forgive her, however I am willing to set aside my grudge and forget what she has done for the day of the prayer, with a condition...

I want her to apologize Irmorom for the blasphemy and disgracing of his temple. Not some vague reference, I want her to clearly apologize. If she does not fulfill my request, I won't be attending, regardless of the person asking me to and I will try to convince as many of my dear brothers, sisters and friends not to attend this prayer either.

It is time to pay your debts to the gods who you so much honor, Elaralith.

Albernon, the lich, is a servent of a god, you know which one I hope, and the other gods can not interfere with moshran's minnions, how ever the gods can bring rains, and that it what we need, I pray every day for the souls who have died, but the deaths are in the past, but the rain is for the future, the gods can not alter the past, of the evil deeds, but they can help the future by brining rains to the island.

Dear Albernon,
Why indeed should we not pray to the gods to end everything that is "evil"? Why indeed? But first of all you must remember that no prayer of this sort has ever been organized before so maybe that is why all the individuals praying in the past have not ended all the "evils". Also you must remember that there is hope to end the drought in the Neverending Prayer. The divine knowledge I have received from the gods does not say that the drought will end for sure if a neverending prayer happens, the gods told me there is hope in it. And what else can we cling to besides hope? It is why I am organizing this why there are people that are going to come - everyone needs hope.

Concerning your words about why have the gods not ended all "evil". For that you will have to perhaps converse at length with me for my answer since it would take a long time to discuss. Suffice it to say though that perhaps not all which you and we mortals consider as "evil" is really bad in the grand tapestry of things. I for one believe that even true evil has a part to play in the Great Plan.

Wisdom light your ways,
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~

Dear Caranthir,
For an apology for all my evils in Silverbrand you only need to look a bit up. I am willing to do you the favor of repeating my apology though whether or not you will attend the prayer.

Maybe this is "clear" and "official" enough for your tastes:
"I, Elaralith, hereby admit that I did much evil in Silverbrand, and I hereby apologize and beg for forgiveness, specifically (for you Caranthir) concerning my vandalism of the holy temple of Irmorom in Silverbrand."

As for paying debts to the gods which I rightfully honor...with the gods all debts have been paid and I have no debts in that sense. Of that I can assure you. And you must go by my word for the truth of what I say.

See you at the Neverending Prayer!

Truly yours,
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~

Then, I am sorry. Your looking for the power to stop the drought? Hmmm we have that power. It's called Darlok. Darlok has the power.

Algoran · Post by **Algoran** » Thu Sep 11, 2003 1:26 am

The witch want to take credit for the sweat and blood of others. Now the end is near she want to pretend she was the power behind the end. Her poison seeps into the ears of innocents and clouds their thinking. Pray if you want, but don't believe the witch has anything to do with the end of the drought. She was one of main causes for end not coming sooner. Sacrifice the witch and please the Gods and many others.

Maybe so. I was not here at the time she attacked dwarves and set fire to this... Shrine. Yet maybe so.

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Thu Sep 11, 2003 4:22 am

Do you think it is a lie Kasume? There are plenty of witnesses and Elaralith says she did. Though I doubt she actually is sorry about it. She killed mercilessly and like a professional, people like that don't ever take anything back unless they gain something in return, believe me, I have seen many like her. She is not sorry, she doesn't like having to worry about her life. So she thought she'll look good in the public so she can hide behind people who would protect her.
And it is funny because so many already have forgiven her. Stupid people live in Trolls Bane, very stupid people. Of course not all of them are stupid.

Your right grant, very stupid people do live in trollsbane, just as elsewhere, I'm sure and yet, not all are stupid.

What is the confirmed time and date again?

Dear Kasume,

Kasume wrote:Then, I am sorry. Your looking for the power to stop the drought? Hmmm we have that power. It's called Darlok. Darlok has the power.

I have said it before and will repeat it. Darlok hasn't got the power to end the drought.

Aragon wrote:Also one word to the drought. As far as the knowledge is true, that the wise Damien has gained by his search in the library other the last weeks, Darlok hasn't got the power to end the drought. He can only produce a drought, but not end it. He has powers over the death of things, but not over life of things. This would be much worse, if he has both in his hands, powers over life and over death. What Damien shall get from Darlok now is the key to activate a drought so that Darlok isn't able to use it once more to blackmaile the town.

The only way to end this drought, caused by spirituel evil powers is prayer to the gods, that they forgive us the desacrivation of Usharas shrine, mother of earth. And to pray for their help.
If some fools haven't desacrivated the shrine, the gods would have shown their mercy over us much earlier.

Werte Bewohner von Trolls Bane und Umgebung !

Wir Druiden des Waldes geben hiermit bekannt, das wir Elaralith in allen Belangen was ihre geplanten Aktionen angeht unterstützen werden.
Auch wir erhoffen uns daraus ein Ende dieser mehr als üblen Dürre und ein daraus folgendes Erblühen unser achso schönen Umgebung, und das damit verbundene Weiterbestehen aller Rassen Illarions.

Leider bin ich der anderen Sprache nicht sehr mächtig und vieleicht könnte es ein Sprachgewandter für uns übersetzen.

Wir alle erwarten das es so schnell wie möglich zu dem großen Gebet kommt, je eher umso besser.

In diesem Sinne verbleibt

Dear Algoran,
How can I say it anymore clearly than I have? No mortal by his own work will ever stop the drought. Only in a neverending prayer with all of Troll's Bane can stop the drought. If you knew me you would know I don't care about credit and power. And why do I do this? Do you think organizing such a prayer is easy work? If you do you are very wrong, it is a lot of hard work with little thanks. There are many things a person could do to get "power" but organizing a holy prayer like this is not one of them. You are very much mistaken if you think I do this for my self since I will reap little from it. I do this for the greater good.

Dear San,
The confirmed time and date is before the moon reaches its fifth cycle.

I do know you witch. You kill then say sorry, kill then say sorry, kill.....
Your evil has been seen many times. ALL you want is power. How many times do we have to fall for the same lies. You slime your way into houses of power. You feed off scraps thrown by much greater beings than you and think that makes YOU great.

You want us to believe the Gods spoke to you? They put the saving of the land in your hands? Why would the Gods put the lives of all in your hands? Those same hands soaked in the blood of innocents. What happens, happens not because of you. I believe you have taken this idea from someone and made it your own. You are less than a scorpion and more poisonous.

Algoran.

Hermie · Post by **Hermie** » Thu Sep 11, 2003 9:48 pm

The Gods are not putting any power in her hands. The whole reason of this neverending prayer is that we ask the Gods for forgiveness for our wrong doings, and plead with them to bring a swift end to the drought. We ask for the Gods to use their powers, not to be granted power itself.

Hermie

Algoran · Post by **Algoran** » Thu Sep 11, 2003 10:37 pm

So you say Hermie. Yet she say more than once "of that I have divine knowledge... ". She makes out she has the ear of the Gods and they have hers. I will pray that day. I will pray the Gods show her for what she is and turn her into her true snake self.

Now the castle is finished, and Dyluck and the magic academy have Darlocks power, the witch has a talk with the Gods and knows how to end the drought. If it were not so bad it would be funny.

Pray, it will do no harm. But watch the witch and don't turn your back to her.

Algoran.

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Thu Sep 11, 2003 10:43 pm

Then why does Darlok have a castle!! This isn't making much sense!! I thought if a castle was built for him the drought would end!

Hmm... I understand some of it. You don't like Elaralith and you think she is a witch. I didn't quite catch the rest, but I don't think you should make judgements about people before you meet them.

Albernon · Post by **Albernon** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:55 am

Moathia, I dont know where you go the idea that the gods cannot do anything to the minions of other gods. It was only rumored that the gods cannot raise a hand against each other directly. If the gods would have helped us then all those people wouldn't have suffered and died in the first place.

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 8:10 am

Albernon, the gods can not undo the past, and if they had stoped Moshran's minion, how do you think he would have reacted, he would attack the others followers, and then there would be a war of gods, and more lives and more evil will have been caused, we need rain Albernon, and the gods are the only ones who can provide us with it. Does it matter who orgainises this, because Elaralith isn't going to create the rain clouds herself, all she can do is pray with us, she doen't haveany more power than that, I urge all of you who wish this drought to end, attend this prayer, if enoough people go, we can send a message to the gods, they can't ignore!

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 8:45 am

Dear Albernon,
Why are you judging me by saying I am a witch and then saying I am a scorpion and so on? Who are you anyways to judge like this? And more important what do your judgments have to do with the neverending prayer? Maybe I am a snake and then maybe you are the real snake, what does it matter? It all comes down to come to the prayer if you want the drought to end.
Elara on your ways,
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~
