By now, some of you may have heard that Viola has contracted some sort of curse, which will cause her to become undead, sadly this ill fate has already happened and now she has been killed. I do not know much of what has happend but i know of a way to save her, it is called the Anoron Ritual
It is an ancient magic, older than even Necromancy or the Runic magic we use today.

If any of you are wondering I know of this because my father, Delvinn Aglandol, was a great schollar in my elven home, he spent all his time with the scrolls and books in that great elven library, the only time we spent together was when he wanted to show me somthing that was very interesting, and he thought i should know. Back to whats important, saving Viola.

The ritual is performed using 20 people, a mage(s), a druid(s), a priest(s) or priestess(es) of any god or godess, who each must give up a small ammount of their life to save another, any who wish to save Viola Thistle should come to see me, and must have a strong emotional connection to her, such as being a friend of hers. Anyways, the people who wish to help her must all take the same knife and slash their hand, pour a small ammount of the blood into the same bottle, which must then be blessed by the priest or priestess and changed into the purest holy water by a powerful mage, then the remains of the one dead must be placed upon the ground in the grass, in the full light of the sun, to be ressurected. The water must be poured into what is left of the mouth of the one who is dead and must be healed with magic immidiatly, for they shall be kept alive by the magic of the ritual for a short time, though long enough to be healed and restored by the weaker magics we have. after this is done, the one who was dead, shall be restored and when the magic of the ritual has passed, all who participated, will feel as though the wheight of the world was put upon them, and most likely will all collaps from the drain of energy. this shall last for one day after the ritual is completed, and for the next two weeks, all who participated will not be able to do much work or put much strain upon their bodys for they will not be able to handle it.

Anyone who wishes to help, tell me and were i can meet you so we can add you to the list of those who shall help us help Viola Thistle.

The first two have come forth to help Viola:

Brendan Manson has given blood to help Viola

Mandil Aglandol has given blood to help Viola

Mandil Aglandol shall be one of the mages to help in this endevour

I'm willing to donate ((but you have to search for me since I am on illarion on random Times))

You are her friend yes? you must be her friend in order to help her...if you have just met her a few times and dont know her that well then it may not work, also, those who have their hands cut cannot let the wound heal untill the ritual has been performed, and for some who are wondering only five of the friends who give blood need be present at the ressurection

Maktan Hardtooth has given blood to help Viola.

Hagen Von Rabenfield has given blood to help Viola.

Crosis has given blood to help Viola.

this makes a total of 5 participants in the ritual

Yuzuka has given blood to help Viola.

Ezorock has given blood to help Viola.

Ezorock will be a druid to help Viola.

Pronon Palmsuger has given blood to help Viola.

Drathe has given blood to help Viola.

I realy fail to see the point of this here poll. Is it not obviouse that those who did such a thing shoud be punished. It is also obviouse that you Mandil are ignorant of the causes which led to the problems of now and maybe making the situation worse for those involved.
T'is also my firm beliefe that the good Viola has nay been killed out right as you have claimed.
To all intents and purposes I am very sceptical of your so called Anoron Ritual. You sound from your writings here to be more of a traveling sales man, selling false hope and bent truths for a bottle of blood. The gods only know what you are realy intending to do with 20 bottles of blood. And what with these wispers and petty rumourse of people that drink blood... it makes me wonder indeed.

it is not that much blood, one bottle of 20 peoples's drops of blood there is much less blood in this than you think...you have your doubts and beliefs i have my own. I may be ignorant of what has happened, i know that Viola has been killed, but i believe her death was of her own wishes, the people who must pay for their crimes are those who put Viola into a situation to want to die, those who made her become undead, and though it is obvious, it is proper to see how many people view it that way.

#me looks very solem and quiet when he walks to the Town board, he writes a message detailing the horrible thing that has happened....

The blood that you all have donated has become defiled....by the blood of Zombies....one of the first to give blood, Maktan, had become a zombie partially because of the open wound he had on his hand when fighting the zombies earlier today.....he is fine now, but for a short while he was Nonliving...not quite undead, but he was unliving...which made the blood that was his in the bottle become defiled....

as of now the bottle has been smashed, the blood poured into the sea, the dagger disolved in a powerfull acidic potion which was also poured into the sea....the Ritual is called off....we must find another way to revive Viola....i pray that we do....

The Story of "The End of a Ritual" By: Maktan

Maktan Hardtooth gave willingly his blood to help viola's cause, not even flinching as his hand was slashed. But for days his hand was too weak to hold a shield properly thus weakening his ability to fight. One day he and his two friends, Mandil and Kincent, Went to exterminate some troublesome zombies. The destruction of the zombies went like a breeze. Mandil needed a rest so Maktan more than willing took mandils place as well as fighting his own. But Maktan noticed his left hand was paining him more than usual. All of a sudden comes three zombies, one of them not so decayed which made that zombie a lot more fearful. Maktan sliced one in half vertically, but the other two punced on maktan and overpowered him. Maktan was bitten over and over again until he passed out. Kincent and mandil was shocked to see their companion topple and attacked with full fury. Their sudden increase of strength is unmatch then any that was heard of. Was the zombies were exterminated they saw to thir horror the crumpled figure of Maktan. Kincent said over and over again "wake ip mak wake up!" To their horror Maktan's wounds turned to a green. Kincent in all his rage and worry lost control of his barrier to block out his other personality, 'Cloud'. Cloud attempted to kill me until mandil made protected my unconscious body. After a while of pushing each other areoun kincent regain control and ran awy for worry of cloud coing back. Mandil tried to heal maktan but couldn't so he carried maktan to the town looking for a healer. An orc who fancied himself as a healer gives maktan meat to fix him up. That's when maktan tuned completly green. He wakes up and has the urge to eat meat. Maktan says "meat must have meat1 meat! meat! must have Meat!" Maktan chased the poor orc for a while before mandil got a hold of maktan. It was then that they figured he was turning into a zombie.((Don't know why they didn't figure sooner. I gave 12 hints during the whole thing)). A halfling whent and got holy water. The holy Water took effect immediately. But Maktan was still unconscious. In his sleep he dreamt of kincent and cloud. Maktan mumbled in his sleep "Kincent already got rid of you cloud why are you back?" And maktan dreamed of the curse on viola. It wasn't until the halfling tossed maktan into the water that he woked up. the rest is blurry to maktan's memory maybe mandil can tell the ending...

The end of a Ritual

During Maktan's transformation, black magic seeped into the blood which was maktan's, it also seeped into the blood that was in the holy vial which was to be used to ressurect her, Mandil knowing the feel of the taint upon somthing magical felt it in the ritual dagger when he accidently touched it while helping Maktan. He knew then and there that the ritual was ruined, and could not be performed, then using the help of Ezorock, he destroyed the blood and the dagger and threw it into the river......Viola's life, will have to be gotten back, some other way, for this one has failed....
