Elaralith, cheating and swindling?

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 5:16 pm

Yesterday, I was talking to several of my friends when i heard, loudly, a message coming from Elaralith. "All who wish to be blessed by Elara, pay me." This amused me quite a bit, because i wondered what was the connection between Elara blessing us and Elaralith getting donations. I inquired into this a litttle bit, and Elaralith started up with his usual round of insults. "Poor Paul, you are too ignorant to see why this is. May we pray for you. Blah, blah, blah," on and on. So then if i asked her if this was some kind of scam, to steal our money, her self-proclaimed "boyfriend", Kirtar, killed me. Elaralith praised him for it. Does anyone else see something here, or am i wrong?

please note Kirtar, Shall pay for it. His has shamed the name of Patrol officers.
Poor Elararith, it seems she is losing her connection with Elara... I like her to, I hope she finds a way through this.

This is bad news... hm.. I did not know Elaralith has a boyfriend. I wonder why she never told me. I have never met Kirtar.

As for the misuse of her priestess abilities.. it shocks me to see what is happening to her.. she used to be such a good friend. In my mind that could only be the works of bad companions, but in order for that to happen she would need to be lacking strengh of personality, or she would be willingly giving up on the challenge that is to care about others, making good use of the great power of words, loving and being loved. If it is the first case, I hope she seeks for those who can help her stabilize her personality. If it is the second case, I hope she finds the strengh to care about others and the ability to understand and forgive once again. I beg for all Elara followers to make a prayer to the Goddess so that She tries to clear the blurry soul of Her lost child.

For the people of Trollsbane... It is your own decision, but I suggest that you should not pay for being blessed, a gift from the gods to those that are worthy of it and should be treated as such, not merchandized, because if a person does not deserve it those are only words, not a real blessing.

In fact, her actions seem so weird during the last time... What could provoke such a change in personality ? Could this be the work of a mirror ? Perhaps, she has such a thing since some time ago when she first started to change ?

Anything could be possible these days, as I have recently noticed.

Elaralith has been doing worse things than that. One day some of my friends took pigs to the tavern and later after they had left Lenti and I remained in the tavern to drink a few wines and such. Elaralith comes in and sets fire to the pig with magic, blaming me for taking it there, and of all the nerve she tries throwing Lenit and I out of the tavern saying we broke rules... Later when Lenti and I had left the tavern we were just over the bridge going to the shop when Lenti was suddenly sniped ((pk)), Elaralith was there and immediately tried to blame me saying " Hobbits don't need a reason to kill...", "It must have been you", "admit it" and so on. She could not understand that Lenti was my friend. Later Lenti, Kensai, and I returned to the tavern and sat upstairs to relax when she came charging up on the roof demanding we left or she would attack us with her staff! I am outraged by her behaviour. She is no priestess, and makes a mockery of Elara. And I suppose she will just suddenly find out she has some mysterious illness and immediately be cured and expect us to trust her again ..

I have lost all my trust in Elaralith. No matter how many times she says she is better, she has tarnished her reputation too badly. This is the end of any friendliness we ever had toward each other.

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 9:25 pm

Damien, Elaralith's change in behaviour came before the recent release of mirrors into the population. It is highly unlikely that such recent happenings to her is the work of some gaudy mirror.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 10:48 pm

And if so, why would she be messing around with mirrors in the first place?

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 10:51 pm

Elaralith smiles to herself as she reads the long list of lies:

Ohhh, Elara save me...this is too funny. I am sorry, but I cannot go on...the depth and massiveness of these contrived lies is too much...

Elaraltih smiles and thinks to herself: "Well, Elara in all her infinite wisdom has made something good come out of this foolishness...at least now those who lack wisdom are clearly shown for it."

Elaralith walks away chuckling, and asks Elara silently how it is that people can create such lies, and others are so gullible and foolish as to instantly believe them...

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 11:08 pm

Yes, those who are foolish are being shown, ELARALITH. Like I said to you, maybe, before accusing other people of foolishness, you should look in a mirror and examine yourself. I think you took my advice too literally and got evil mirrors.

Roke writes a short note

This change Elaralith is undergoing has saddened me, she used to be a great friend and great person to be around, now, over the last month... as far as I can remember she has been increasing in her rudeness. She apologized for her actions once before, saying that she would stop doing this and that she had a vision from Elara. Personally, I believe she had no vision and she used it as an excuse to make a apology, as she did not want to admit she was wrong... I don't know what to do... I thought a petition might work but the way she is going she seems to be ignoring or insulting everyone, even the friends she once had...

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 11:49 pm

i believe it would be better for us all if she were no longer here. Her actions are much more clear than her deceitful, useless lies.

Brendan Mason · Post by **Brendan Mason** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 12:03 am

Hmmmh. In these times I do not know what to think. On one side, is Elaralith, a good friend...and person whom I trust with my life. On the other hand are the Rangers and Kalypse...my team mates and a person whom I trust as equally as I do Elaralith.

And then we have Bumbol, sticking his nose where it does not belong.

Elaralith, to my knowledge would never do such a thing as scamming another....never. As far as I am concerned, the word of an undead creature raised ny the BlackStone, such as Paul, holds no merit.

Another vain attempt to destroy another reputation...

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 12:11 am

Brendan, I don't think you should hold Paul as one with no merit. I'm sure there are other witnesses, if Elaralith was soliciting so-called "blessings" Frankly, I don't doubt it to be something she would do, in light of all her OTHER actions proven by various witnesses.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 12:34 am

I believe every word of it, because that sounds like something Kirtar would do as well.

Bumbol Woodstock · Post by **Bumbol Woodstock** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 12:34 am

Brendan what do I have to do with any of this? Stop ruining me or pay the consquences.

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 12:36 am

Bumbol, do unto others...

You attempted to do so also, the same words came from your mouth against Brendan. Sounds to me like you're just getting back what you put in.

Bumbol Woodstock · Post by **Bumbol Woodstock** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 1:18 am

Cain, I did not go to every note and said how bad brendan was. I said it on a list. Then apologized for making the mistake. There is a very big difference.

Roke · Post by **Roke** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 1:36 am

Brendan, she has hurt many people... especially the people who were closest to her. What race is this Kirtar of and of what species is he?

Unfortuneatly for her, she already apologized once before, for doing basically the same things that hurt others, another apology will not be worth anything to myself and many others.

Crosis · Post by **Crosis** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 2:06 am

Kirtar is a halfling. But get this clear, he never admited to killing Paul, and no one was near Paul when he was killed. He was snipped, so don't put this all on Kirtar, it could have been anyone there.

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 2:38 am

kirtar admitted to the sniping. He was the only one who could have sniped me, as everyone else was too far away. He then told Elaralith that he did it, and she congratulated him.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:04 am

Roke what are you talking about? I never apologized to you because there never was a reason to, nor is there now. The only person I "apologized" to was my goddess Elara.

Roke · Post by **Roke** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:21 am

You did apologize personally to myself while we were in the forest.

You did not apologize to everyone, but asked for forgiveness, which is in fact very similar in my oppinion.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:41 am

She hides in personal insult attacks whenever possible, and I find it annoying after a while, even when I am not the one being insulted, it is her foolish talk about wisdom, which she could never grasp the concept of.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:50 am

I did no such things, Roke.

FooserJohn, do you think your remarks will help you quiet the jealousy in your heart? No, such actions will only inflame that evil. Suffice it to say that I pity you, and am in prayer for you. Such actions hurt only yourself.

Cuderon · Post by **Cuderon** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:52 am

One more time Cuderon reads the board and his fiercely look changes to a concerned. What, by all the gods, happend to Elaralith? If even she, a priestess of Elara and one of the old race like himself seems to lack the ability to confess her own faults... how should he ever do? Once again he remembers the old poem his father told him ages ago.

Greetings Elaralith, priestess of Elara!

As I read your messages here, I feel haughtiness and pugnacity in your words. As a priestess, especially as a priestess of Elara, this behaviour misfits the peaceful way I think you should go.

Wisdom includes the ability to forgive errant people and teach them better. I don´t think you can reach this in such an arrogant way. Not only the goal that should be wisdom counts, a wise way to reach it is also necessary.

Elaralith lets fly a dove which carries a letter...

Cuderon,
You have good intentions in mind that I am not blind to, but you fail to grasp fully the Big Picture and see what I am really trying to accomplish here. Do you really think that my "pride" is hurt by these accusations and remarks? Do you really think I am affected at all? I tell you the truth, none of these petty stones thrown at me do I feel at all for there be higher things that I see. Know now that I am not speaking out of "arrogance" but am actually trying to work a change in these troubled hearts and minds. Guided by Elara I know I shall never fall, but I thank thee for thy concern.

May Elara carry you on the wings of wisdom,
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~

You lie Elaralith! And I hold in my hands proof! You are no more "guided" by Elara than a mere godless being.

Cain pulls a piece of parchment, slightly tattered from aging. He pastes it to his note.

Elaralith wrote: I have asked the forgiveness of the gods and my goddess Elara, and now I must ask the forgiveness of you all

You did ask once before. This piece of parchment was taken from the time of your "vision."

People of Trollsbane:
Is this not proof enough to force Elaralith to leave? Or to change her ways or denounce her Priestesshood? She constantly lies to cover up things she has done in the past. Please people! Here my words for the truth they contain! Her tongue only spews lies, her words twisted, manipulated into something than what they are.

Bumbol Woodstock · Post by **Bumbol Woodstock** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 5:18 am

What happened to Elararith? I don't want to banish her Cain... Though she is deceitful... I am sure the elves of Eldamar will shun her for what she has done.... But Cain you are right, something should be done about this, we can't let her walk free of her deceit.
