A lingering scent of rich perfume fills this room. Its carpet-covered glossy black ebonwood floor supports an ebonwood four-poster bed and a speckled alder bookcase, and the area is enclosed by walls of silver-swept black marble. An elven enruned marble fireplace sits at the far wall. You also see an animated Ithzir scout, the Evarin disk, an amethyst stained-glass window, a gigantic rune-covered throne and an arched ora door.
Also here: Debia, Faetali, Weiser who is sitting on the floor, Lady Liskey, Evarin.

Speaking in Elven, you say, "If anyone would like an escort out, I am more than willing to walk you to the entrance."

It is a good first start, just a tough time slot to compete for people's attention. I look forward to seeing what becomes of this organization.

yeah, it was only later I realized it was during droughtman's challenge

And most people's TV time :D

I'm looking forward to the next meeting, I'll definitely be there with my rogue.

Anyone who might want to suggest a different day and time that may be easier for people to get to?

FYI - Faendryl Enclave meeting on Tuesday, 9:30pm, eastern time, in the landing

Thursday evening at 10pm eastern time the Faendryl Enclave will be hosting a formal Faendryl dinner and discussion. The dinner will consist of mainly traditional Faendryl foods and drink, the discussion will help people learn about the Faendryl culture, and Faendryl Enclave. The dinner will be one northwest from the North Gate in the Landing inside the tent.

http://images.wikia.com/fallout/imag...mainframe2.jpg

^ Fallout 3 Enclave ftw

Meeting tonight at 9:30pm, will be at a Thrak table in the Landing. Just look for Japhrimel, Inurtia, or Queleri.

That meeting isn't for the public, is it? I imagine that the one on the 31st will be the main one.

It's for members and Faendryl interested in joining.

Just a reminder to some and an announcement to others: The Faendryl Enclave is holding a Formal Dinner and Discussion tonight (3/31) at 10 in the evening, elven time. The tent will be set up one northwest of just outside the Wehnimer's Landing North Gate. Come sample dark elven foods, learn a little bit about Faendryl foods and preparation. There will also be a short presentation of the Enclave and it's goals, as well as the chance for people to ask questions. Those who haven't the refined palate for Faendryl cuisine will be able to sample more mundane foods from the cart. Enjoy!

Meeting tuesday night, 9:30pm, eastern time.. again.. work for everyone?

I'll be thurr

Tuesday is pretty much permanently a no-go for me, but I'll keep a eye out for non-Tuesday events.

Well, this meeting, I would like to get ideas and input from members for future events and different members-only things to do. Other than organized hunts and spellups, etc. So if anyone wants to post ideas here, feel free.

I didn't get a chance to earlier, but I really wanted to thank the Enclave for the event the other evening, it was really fun and the food and drinking was interesting!

I am looking forward to future events!

Friendly reminder. Meeting tomorrow night, 9:30pm elven, Thrak Inn table. Just look for Japhrimel, Inurtia or Queleri.

Reminder bump!

Basic notes for anyone that couldn't attend the last meeting.

Attendees: Linnwei, Xinza, Robynn, Veni, Telsas, Inurtia, Japhrimel, and Darckwizard.

We discussed the pros and cons of the dinner events and it was pretty much unanimous that the event was a success. We hope to keep having interactive events that are both social and educational.

Future events: Queleri will be holding a seminar on the history of demonology and Faendryl. The date for this is not set. We also plan on finishing the event by spinning for prizes that are related to the seminar. There is no date for this that is set.

Fashion show: Possibly working with the Obsidian Tower to have a fashion show that displays the differences between Faendryl and Dhe’nar attire and the history behind the two.

Feel free, anyone, to offer suggestions for events for us. We're always open to hearing ideas.

Beyond events, we are still looking for a knowledgeable person with Palestra training to fill our fourth officer position. Please contact Japhrimel, Inurtia or Queleri if interested.

Next meeting TBA

I don't think I've ever been able to state the following before:

That fashion show sounds interesting! I'll attend if my schedule allows.

Good luck in your efforts!

Okay folks! Looking to plan a new meeting. When works for who and on what date? Also, I am looking for a warrior type of officer who would be interested in organizing Palestra type things, lemme know. Also, anyone care to share ideas for events?

I'll look to find Japh IG. Who was it you spoke with regarding a fashion event with the Tower?

Well, I have another vote for "not tuesday" and I am personally thinking the same, as Japh might be an officer of a House soon that meets on tuesday nights the same time. So, Wednesday? Thursdays? 9? 10? any other suggestions?

I think Japh should delegate the fashion event to the two Faendryl with the most fashion sense Inurtia and I. :)

I vote for Wednesdays on the meetings.

Just to clarify - there is no Enclave/Obsidian Tower Fashion Show in the works.. there was a Fashion show event and a joint obsidian tower event mentioned as possible ones for the future.

It looks like the next event we will be doing will be run by Queleri (if you would like to help, contact him) and will be on Demonology, Sorcery, and the Faendryl.. a historical perspective. That will likely be next month(maybe mid-may) so keep your eyes out for that.

We will be spinning, at that event, for a few prizes, after the discussion. Sorcery-related items for demonology/necromancy. For example, a satchel containing a boat load of demonology/necromancy supplies. I believe Inurtia has an enhancive item also. If anyone else would like to donate, please let us know.

Also, I am looking for another officer, possibly two. One who would be interested in leading, in essence, the Palestra portion of the Enclave.. Military related events, those who seek to learn about and train as Palestra, etc. Similar to Queleri being in charge of Summoning and Basilica-related issues.

A few ideas I've been throwing around that I'd like input on:

An Enclave sponsored weekly guild work get together
- we have a lot of sorcerers, why not work together?
- we have some wizards too, who can help haste for speed reps for illusions
- Wizards, empaths, etc have similar alchemy guild work, lets save alchemy items for everyone?

An Enclave run weekly hunt
- Way for everyone to get to know each other better, outside of meetings
- Could do member-only or open to the public
- Helps everyone train

An Enclave sponsored spellup once a week, possibly after meetings.
- Gets awareness of our organization out there
- Provides a positive image for the organization
- gets us spells!

Do you have a weekly hunt schedule? If so, think you could send me a PM?

okay.. Wednesdays for meetings.. say.. 10pm, eastern? Lemme know if that isn't going to work for anyone.

Meetings will be biweekly, as regularly as possible and will be open to Members and Faendryl(or dark elves with no culture set) in general who are interested.

Anyone want to make meetings open to the general public?

Aww, I was looking forward to the joint fashion show. Even if the epitome of Dhe'nar fashion is the glamour crystal.

I might be able to make Wednesday.

Meetings will be held at Thrak's Inn, at a table.. look for Inurtia, Japhrimel, or Queleri. This is to make it easy for people to come to meetings and find them.

Granted, if any members win the airship and want to loan that to the enclave, I am totally cool with making that the headquarters.

So, I just heard this...

[Private]-GSIV:Gweneivia: "a friend of mine considered joining and was told he'd have to "let go" of his ties to the past...meaning non-Faendryl friends, lovers, etc"

That is not accurate. This isn't about exclusivity, it is about providing a platform for better RP. Hells, Japh is dating a sylvan.

If we get an airship we should take over the world...

I personally don't care for group spellups, or flat service events. I've ran infusion events in the past and felt dirty for doing it. They really do nothing but bring in warm bodies, and there should be more to an event than that.

I agree with you on the flat service events. On the flip side of the coin, I would like to get public awareness up a bit. So I have mixed feelings on them. Maybe we just offer spellups after meetings for attendees.

I have to agree with Evarin on the services/spell up's. They may help a little with publicity but I don't think they're typically worth the drain they cause the organization either. It would be taxing because we don't have a lot of wizards. I think it would be better if when offering Guards/Blurs/Spell up's we do them for free on Behalf of the Enclave and advertise that way.

I would suggest we continue to focus more on events. Maybe try to get an event a month in, they're usually a better draw, and than you also have more time to actually talk to people or answer questions. At service events it's too much trying to remember who you're spelling up, what spells they wanted, etc. Too much noise to really get involved with the people.

Now I'm much more in favor of your first suggestion, which is helping with guild skills etc. Here you can speak to people IC'ly, answer questions, and create goodwill by assisting in a much more accomodating environment I think.

Just my thoughts though.

How about a tour of the road connecting Ta'Vaalor and Ta'Illistim? There is a lot of ruins of Faendryl origin. I would also enjoy doing an event in Old Ta'Faendryl, and could aid in that as needed.

Anyone have any of the Faendryl-themed loresong items from H4H2? Could do a bit of a show-and-tell around them. The ones I can remember were:

a petrified asparagus stalk
a blood-stained piece of rubble
a smooth-edged gold coin

plus the ones that show people fighting the Faendryl, heh.

a pearl-set braided vaalin ring
a rust-pitted heavy gornar falchion

I think the original forehead jewels also had a Faendryl-themed loresong?

On a side note if anyone were interested in moving any of said items please contact me, I'd be very interested in buying them.

I had no idea the original forehead gems were Faendryl.. or at least with a Faendryl loresong.. it makes me loathe them a smidgen less

Various sorts of events seem like fun. I haven't had a chance to do anything yet, but I am hoping to come to the meeting this week.

Just a reminder! Meeting in Thrak's Inn, at a table, tomorrow(Wednesday) at 10:00pm eastern/elven time.


Main issues:
next event
future event ideas
group hunts
group spellups
other group things to do

Oh! I'd also like everyone to introduce themselves.. get everyone to know each other.

Just another reminder that we're having a meeting tonight. Hope to see many of you there.

Looking forward to your demonology lecture, Que!! Sounds like you guys are off on a great start. :)

Just want to thank everyone that showed up last night, we had an excellent turnout I thought. Was a pleasure meeting some new people.

Sorry I left early, I love these meetings though, especially last night's. That was a good turn out.

As for future events, is anyone else interested in a duelers night? Create certain kinds of competitions (magic bouts, fisticuffs matches, sword duels) or just create basic duels. Different rules can be applied to each match, and of course have brackets or heats separated by level.

There should a fee to enter, and have silver or other prizes awarded to winners. We would have to hire an empath, maybe even a cleric, to clean up the resulting mess. Also, it should be open to everyone, not just Faendryl's, just sponsored and created by the Enclave.

Is anyone else interested in such organizing or participating in something like this?

I really like the idea of a dueler's night. Maybe you could even add a betting system for the audience to gamble silvers on their fighter of choice.

I had a random idea for an event the other night. Animated puppets. Some kind of event using animates and demons and a group, with their summoners, can create short skits and the dead people can talk or people can imitate the animated critters.. and each group is judged on a few different aspects of their skit. (these are the kinds of things I dream about, oddly enough)

Oh, neat. Yeah a puppet show

Lets see. Prizes for the demonology event, so far, a satchel full of necromancy/demonology supplies, a necromancy fusion orb, a 4x defender runestaff that boosts necromancy and mana recovery.. a +18 one that boosts demonology and spirit mana control... Looking good so far. Any other suggestions? Anyone want to donate something?

I'll start saving all my alchemy stuff I come across, when is this night planned for?

The dueler's night sounds awesome, as does the marionette idea! I think I know an empath who would be willing to help during these events.... ;-)

I would save the alchemy reagents for the Enclave guild work nights. I am leaning towards two different nights, one for alchemy and/or illusions, one for more physical things, like warrior/rogue guild stuff. Honestly, I have never had a warrior or rogue get past a certain level, so I'm not exactly sure how we could help with warrior/rogue guild skills, but someone at the meeting asked me to bring them up. Anyone know?

I have a Master of Illusions who can help any time anyone needs someone to do illusions, so don't hesitate to ask (ask japh oocily and I can go get Mal)

Just a reminder, the next Enclave meeting is one week from today, so the 11th. We will be discussing the upcoming event and finalizing days for Enclave hunts, enclave guild work, etc.

Any other issues anyone wants to bring up?

Also, ideas to be included on an Enclave webpage?

Unfortunately I won't be able to make the next meeting. I'm traveling out of town for a funeral on the 11th.

Just a reminder: The next meeting is in 2 days, wednesday, 10pm, eastern.

Any word on the news item for the next event Japh?

Hey all. For those who did not make the meeting. Our next event is one week from today, the 18th at 10pm eastern. It will be in Twilight Hall's Summoning Chamber. (Thanks Twilight Hall)

The next event after that is going to be a scavenger hunt! What kind? Well, I have no idea! Feel free to add input and talk to Inurtia!

For members, we now have a Listserv: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/faendrylenclave/
- to join it, make sure you are providing the e-mail you provided to me when you asked to join our member's list. Or, contact me and let me know who is who and what is what and I'll send you an invite.

I also posed a contest to those who showed up! Submit to me an idea.. and act it out.. of an induction ceremony.. a ritual, if you will.. for the Enclave. The winner gets 1m from Japhrimel.

approved and released - it should be available to the masses tomorrow or the day after.

For anyone who would like to read it now:

A Faendryl History of Demonology

You are invited to join the Faendryl Enclave for a discussion on the beginnings of a'Sor'Saeri, or Sorcery as it is commonly referred to today, and it's influence on history, particularly for the Faendryl. This discussion will be on the eighteenth day of Ivastaen on Leyan at ten in the evening, elven time. It will be held in the summoning chambers located below Twilight Hall, who are generously hosting. If you would like further details please feel free to contact the Faendryl Enclave Officers, Japhrimel, Inurtia, or Queleri.

Alright. I mentioned a contest before.. it was mentioned during the last meeting. I am going to mention it again and flesh it out a bit more.

The contest is to design an "induction ceremony/ritual". Essentially.. how do you see a induction into the Enclave going? What type of a ritual would a group of Faendryl do? I have a few ideas, but, why not get everyone involved?

You need to design the ritual from start to finish. Assume there is an inductor, an inductee, and a small audience. From there, the sky is the limit. PM me here or e-mail me at phyrestorms@yahoo.com with your character name and your induction idea.

Best idea gets 1m from me.

Still accepting entries for designing a Faendryl induction ritual for the Enclave - open to anyone, though I'd like a player name in addition, to announce the winner. E-mail me (at phyrestorms@yahoo.com) or PM me with your idea, thanks

Just a note for the event tomorrow night, it is RP oriented and is really not geared towards mechanics at all, just keep that in mind if you're planning on attending. We hope you all enjoy it.

Reminder

The Faendryl Enclave Presents: A Faendryl History of Demonology - You are invited to join the Enclave tonight, at ten in the evening as the elves tell time, for a discussion on the origins of sorcery and the discovery of demonology. This event is being held in the summoning chamber of Twilight Hall, who have graciously offered us their space. After the discussion a few prizes will be spun for of a demonology/necromancy nature. Contact myself(Inurtia), Japhrimel, or Queleri for more details or come over to Twilight Hall before 10!

If anyone wants to present their induction idea after the event, feel free

Thank you to everyone that attended this evening. I do hope you all had a good time. Hope to see you at the next event too.

Hope the invasion didn't mess up your guys event.

We still had a decent turn out, I was impressed given everything going on. So can't complain. We still need to follow up to whenever you have the time. My schedule will get back to semi-normal here after tomorrow.

You are Never online. I check. Obsessively.

I had a funeral in Vermont last week, and am on a business trip this week. So just a bad two weeks. I fly home tomorrow and should be around more now.

It's fine, you mentioned you would be out and about for a while.

Thank you for preparing that Queleri, I was distracted last night and couldn't participate as much as I wanted to. At least I made it.

To help design your Faendryl Enclave Induction Ceremony, for the contest, let me review the stated goals of the organization:

Desired Location: Wehnimers Landing

Purpose:
1.Provide a refuge for Faendryl
2.Promote Faendryl culture & history
3.Provide a place and platform for people to hone their skills (i.e. increase roleplaying in different faendryl-specific areas, such as Palestra, Basilica, divination, etc)
4.Outreach to local governments to foster improved relations

Coat of Arms: Encompassed in a silver frame and set on a field of grey rests a scarlet pentacle. Flanking to the right is an incarnadine shield and to the left is a silver Lor tree.

House Colors: Black, White, and Crimson

Statement of Governing: (Diplomatic)

Just a reminder that our next meeting is tomorrow night at 10pm elven.

I e-mailed everyone on the list, but I do apologize for it getting out so late. I did also include a list of things we might want to discuss

Just as an FYI I tried joining the yahoo group and I keep getting an error when I click "Join This Group". Some error about the page/group being empty.

If anyone else is having a problem like that, let myself or Leifa know.

On another note, in the future we are looking to having a Faendryl Divination event. I was just thinking that it might be fun to use a few dark-attuned crystal amulet holders(if you notice the merchant folders, I have boat loads :P) and alter them into some variation of a smoke-filled glass vial/phial or something like that. What does anyone think? Also, if anyone wants to throw up their own ideas for a variation on that, lemme know and I can try to get that made also. I'm, currently, aiming at getting 2-3 made for this event. One for the host as a thank you and one or two to be given out at the end. Granted, that depends on how much merchant work I can get done in the near future. Lemme know your thoughts!

If anyone didn't read it.. or didn't save it.. from the race, dark elf, folder on the officials, here it is:

**Faendryl Divination**
Methods of divination throughout the various cultures of the dark elf race are not as diverse as many of the other races. For example, while the seaports of the Turamzzyrian Empire have their small niches of the art, the Sisters of the Hidden Eye have an extremely different style and take on the art. The same, however, is not true of dark elves. There is a common thread throughout seers within this race, and it is that of smoke.

Faendryl

Igaeshian Readers

Frequently restricted to females, and typically those that are sorcerers, divination within the Faendryl culture is accomplished through the use of a demon called the igaesha. Known as an Igaeshian Reader, the sorceress in question will pull the demon through the Valence and trap them within a flat, cylindrical vial that is then fused closed. Some readers will house hundreds of these vials within their study chambers at a time and have incantations, or basically alarms, set to each piece. Because of their nature, the mist-like igaesha can escape through the vial; this is what causes the alarm to be triggered. Instantly, the reader will be notified and is able to discern distinct patterns in the smoky residue that the igaesha leaves behind. These patterns are recorded, time-stamped, and then translated immediately. All such translations are stored in a central library.

It is not uncommon for someone of nobility to seek out an Igaeshian Reader. The Reader, upon request, will store the demon in a vial as she always does, but instead of leaving it upon a shelf in her study, she will place it in a special vault that has a time, date, and name stamp set upon it. When the igaesha escapes and the pattern's translation recorded, the document is handed to the requester and not interred among the library's records.

Smoke Seers

Among the common, working class dark elves, the divination form that is used is fundamentally the same. Though devoid of demons, the Smoke Seers of the dark elves will utilize candles bathed in oils, heavily smoking incense or smudge sticks. When removed to a quiet place, the seer will contemplate the lazy spirals and patterns of the smoking object to determine their meaning and will also record what they see. Though not regarded as highly as an Igaeshian Reader, the Smoke Seers are frequently sought out by the commoners for readings.

Just a reminder. Tonight was scheduled an Enclave Hunt. I have a Twilight Hall meeting, so it will be around 10pm, feel free to contact Japhrimel. If there isn't much of a turn out we will try again thursday. If anyone else wants to put together an Enclave hunt, post on here or on our webpage or just call it up on the amulet/lnet. These do not have to be officer led.

Also, next week, tuesday again, around 10pm.. there will be a guild skills/alchemy reagent enclave get together. Any sorcerers(enclave or not) can work on illusions with Malkave. Any Enclave members who want alchemy reagents, come by and ask. If any of our more physical or sneaky members want to come to work on guild skills, I hope you will come on by. These are in the Wayside Inn, Garrett (upstairs).

If anyone prefers another day of the week, let me know. At the meetings the only two days suggested were tuesdays and thursdays. Murkshev has sorcerer guild work nights monday/wednesdays so I am trying to avoid overlapping him.

Hunts will be canceled pending massive troll war things.

Due to unavoidable swarm of trolls, constructs, golems, Foxs, etc, the hunt is going to be postponed till thursday, at around 10, eastern.

Just to let all the Enclave members know, we officially have 3 events recorded in the 4 months we have been active. That, I think, is pretty good. We haven't sought credit for the guild night/enclave hunt, either.

The Hunt for Faendryl History

Join the Faendryl Enclave on the 22nd of this month for a scavenger hunt followed by Faendryl trivia! At 9pm sharp the scavenger hunt will begin at the Thrak Inn, Trophy Room where you’ll be given a series of clues for locations hiding a symbolic piece of Faendryl history. You get to keep everything you find! After a winner is proclaimed (we estimated it should take about an hour) we’ll hand out prizes and then start Faendryl Trivia! It’s highly recommended that you read (or re-read) the Faendryl history documents on the play.net website for this event. We look forward to seeing you there!

I'll keep this updated as we discuss prizes at the meeting this week.

http://www.play.net/gs4/info/tomes/d...y/faendryl.asp

PS MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY! And we need members to volunteer to help with this night.

enclave meeting tomorrow, just a reminder.. well.. later today at this point, oye.. bed time. Wednesday, 10pm, eastern.

Meeting tonight! 10pm! Thrak table... be there or be square!

An hour and a half till meeting time, Thrak table.

I updated the calender for the Enclave listserv page.. our yahoo webpage.. to include biweekly tuesday night reminders for hunts, guild work.. so on.. the scavenger hunt.. meetings.. a quick reference guide. It's open to members at the moment, so if you are a member, let me know and I will link you.

those on the mailing list have been sent a link and a notice on the updates.. if you want to get on the mailing list, PM me. If you want to get off the mailing list, e-mail me back

is there a meeting tomorrow night? *6-21* (assuming at 10pm?) I have work late and early the following day but I may try to stop by for at least a half hour to get a feel for the group and possibily contribute. At best I won't step on any toes and learn something new

No meeting this week in lieu of the Hunt for History event which is taking place when we usually hold meetings.

Hope to see you all there for the event though!

I don't know any of the trivia and have no idea about the history but is there a meeting place for those not actively participating in the hunt that can participate in other regards?

Thank you everyone that came out for the hunt and trivia! I had a blast and was glad so many people participated.

Meeting on wednesday! We should put together a guild work night tuesday, too! ... or is it hunt week? go to our yahoo group to check!

Okay, I checked our group.. if you are a member of the enclave.. or want to be.. you should really join the yahoo group - PM me if you want the link - anyway, tuesday is scheduled for a hunt! I am thinking I (Japhrimel) will do one earlier in the afternoon and then, if time allows, one in the evening. I know our meetings and everything scheduled tend to be late-ish and that some people can't make them.. so, how about we try around 4-4:30, eastern, for a group hunt, if anyone is interested.

Oh. I plan on mentioning this at the meeting, but for those who don't make the meeting: As of the meeting time everyone will have ONE WEEK to turn in their entry for the Induction Ceremony Contest. The contest, to reiterate, is to design what you feel is a proper Faendryl induction ceremony for entry into the Enclave. That is wednesday, 10pm eastern, one week from this wednesday. The winner will get 1m and we will use their entry or parts of it. Aspects of non-winning entries might be considered, also, if sent in. Send your idea to my e-mail address at phyrestorms@yahoo.com with Faendryl Contest in the subject line, your character name, and your idea. If you have written out the whole ceremony, thats cool. The following meeting we will most likely announce the winner and we can use the ceremony for inductions. There are a few people waiting, I know. Thanks.

Enclave meeting tonight. 10pm Thrak table

Hey all. Just a reminder, the contest ends tomorrow(wednesday) at midnight. What contest you say? This one! Design an induction ceremony for the Faendryl Enclave. Essentially.. what do you imagine when you picture the induction of a new member into a Faendryl organization? Design it, write it out, and send it to me! My e-mail is phyrestorms@yahoo.com.. Put, in the subject, Enclave Initiation.. and be sure to include in the content your character name and the idea you have. The other officers and I will spend the next week reading through them and judging and, at the next meeting, we will announce a winner. The winner gets 1m. Thanks

just an FYI, also, folks. I will be gone from tomorrow morning till sunday night. We are still accepting submissions for the contest, of course, and I can read them on my phone, but I wont be around to answer any questions. if you have an idea, send it in. thanks

Meeting tonight!!! 10PM Thrak Table.

Just a reminder that it is Wednesday again, and so the Faendryl Enclave will be meeting at a Thrak Table this evening at 10pm EST as usual. Look forward to seeing you all there, I believe we'll have a lot to talk about this evening.

Meeting in 50 mins!

fuck enclaves.

Just a general update for Enclave members: the meeting is Wednesday. We also are entered to participate in Frontier Days. Our event for that time will (probably) be Tuesday, the 23rd, at 9pm, eastern time. Veni will be giving a discussion on Faendryl methods of divination, both smoke and demon. She will take a few volunteers from the audience, as well.. and, at the very end, we have a few prizes to be spun for the crowd.

a smoke-filled glass vial - Dangling from a silver chain is a flat, cylindrical vial that has been fused closed. Held within it is a wisp of smoke, the swirling sooty cloud turning the clear glass darkly opaque. The smoke twists and turns as it shifts within the vial, creating darker spots within it. Etched into the side of the vial is a tiny pentagram.

These are dark attuned crystal amulet holders.. confused by the design? come see the discussion and it will grow more clear!

FYI: We will be inducting members tonight!

Just an update for everyone. We have inducted three new memers: Melivn, Ketsimney, and Sezo. We are scheduled to have an event going with Frontier Days on August 23rd. GM Kenstrom has also graciously allowed us to design a brand new MHO tent.. that will be available for all MHO to use from now on.. for this, so we have a rather Faenryl-themed tent in the makings.

Hey all. I am currently in an area that doesn't really allow me access to any form of internet beyond my phone. that said, if i am not around Tuesday or wednesday feel free to have someone else lead the hunt and/or meeting. Still waiting to hear back from Kenstrom about the new tent design, but as it stands our next event is the 23rd? Tuesday.

Meeting tonight 10pm at Thrak Table!

Meeting in 30 mins.

Items discussed at this most recent meeting:

1. We have a room in a landing shop - if any members would like to donate an item now, all proceeds when it sells will go to the Enclave.
2. Interested in the Palestra? looking for a sorcerer to guard? Talk to Queleri or one of the other officers!
3. Having meetings and/or get togethers in different towns, so as to reach those who can't get to the landing quickly.
4. Possible event/get together ideas for the future also, some very good ones.

2. Interested in the Palestra? looking for a sorcerer to guard? Talk to Queleri or one of the other officers!

I've been asking in the Landing for any interested Palestra or Sorcerer's perhaps wizards as well or spirit callers could also use a Palestra. Anyone interested feel free to contact me here as well, I'm hoping to make a tour of Solhaven, and Ice Mule next week, then maybe hop over to the Nations to check for interest as well.

Faendryl Enclave is hosting a divination event this evening at 9pm EST as part of frontier days. The tent will be just northwest of the North Gate in the Landing.

Just a reminder: Meeting tonight and inductions afterwards!

Repost from the dark elf folder, by Khshathra:

On Wednesday, August 31st, at 9:30 PM EST, I'll be holding an OOC townhall in my "office", specifically regarding Faendryl culture (although all are welcome to come, and I will be glad to discuss other DE topics if we manage to exhaust Faendryl issues). I figure this will coincide nicely with my newly-completed Faendryl document.

I'll have portals (the monoliths) set up in Mist Harbor, the Landing, Illistim, Teras, and RR.

I'm going to try to get this calendared, but I wanted to announce it here as well.

This Tuesday at 9 I am busy, I am an officer in twilight and am going to be helping out with the imagination hunt.. feel free to stop by and join, it's surprisingly fun if you like impromtu playing around. And since I am busy, Malkave is busy, so there isn't a designated host for the guild work night. If anyone else wants to gather and do it anyway, I welcome that. If the imagination hunt only lasts till 10, which I doubt, I will get Malkave and he will help out. Thanks

Just a friendly reminder, meeting is tonight

Meeting canceled due to crazy lag and me being sick

There wasn't a ton of things I wanted to go over at the meeting, but let me iterate a few things.

I don't think we really have enough time in september to put together a truly comprehensive Faendryl wedding, so I am recommending we put that on hold for now and focus on the October event idea, a masquerade ball.
(One option that had come to mind for this, and was met with mixed responses when I mentioned it, would be to host it on the airship and, at midnight, the airship will take off. Three days later it would arrive in illistim and the ball could resume/new one start hosted by the Faendryl Alliance.. Problems with this is the 3 day gap. You don't want to be on the airship for that period of time, that would be boring, so we could say "party is closing for now, at midnight, then everyone can get off and hopefully watch it leave or something and then, if we all want to, we can go to illistim 3 days later and meet it)

Whats this Faendryl Alliance I just mentioned, why, that would be the sister MHO branch in Illistim. I believe enough people have heard of it at this point that it's fine to mention. Contact Queleri for more details.

Since Queleri will probably have his hands full.. or at least busier, in illistim, I am recommending we seek out another officer. If you are interested feel free to e-mail me at phyrestorms@yahoo.com with what you bring to the table, or find Japhrimel IG.

Also, if you are a member of the Enclave or are interested, we do have a yahoo group that will have other members, calender items for events/meetings, and files that list meetings, OOC dark elf meetings, event logs, etc.

If anyone would like to suggest items to discuss for future meetings, don't hesitate to post or e-mail or find me around town.

Lastly, the list of who is currently eligible for membership(and should try to make the next meeting) includes: Malosa, Zaigh, Silvius, Simulacra, and Picler... am I missing anyone? Let me know if you think you should be on this list.

As Japh mentioned the Faendryl Alliance will be starting very soon. So any Faendryl that reside in the Nations that might be interested feel free to drop a note here or contact me via PM and I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

The Faendryl Enclave is now set to tier 2 (prominent).

Congrats!

I'll try to have Malosa at the next meeting. Things are crazy right now cause I'm in the middle of moving into my new house.

Diana

Well, if you or any of the other initiates catch myself and at least one other officer we might be able to do an impromptu initiation.. I just like to do them with an audience.

If anyone else would like to join, let me(Japhrimel), Inurtia, Leifa, or Queleri know.

Just an FYI folks! - Also, meeting is wednesday, 10pm, eastern time, as usual!

Landing :hippie:

Due to awesome merchants coming at 10 and holding auctions, the enclave meeting will be moved up from 10pm to 9pm tonight! tell your friends!

Meeting in 20.

Good meeting!

I will recap. We inducted Picler and Liskey! Congrats to them

The Faendryl Alliance, the sister branch of the Enclave, is going to be or is in Illistim. Everyone is welcome to be in both and I encourage all our members to go to their events and vis versa.

We are going to have a date auction on october 4th, at 9pm. We have about 8 people signed up to be auctioned off, but are accepting more. e-mail me at phyrestorms@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Later in october we are going to do a masquerade ball. We are leaning towards a tent with dancing or an airship. Pluses and minuses to each. If you have comments, suggestions, etc, let me know!

We are doing bi-weekly social gatherings, every other tuesday. Our second one was yesterday and was a bit more of a brawl than we had expected. The opposite tuesdays are guild work nights, for any sorcerers who need to work on illusions.

Well, since you asked. . .a non-Tuesday event would be lovely.

YaY Liskey and Picler!

Hey guys. Sometime in the near future.. or now.. if you have the time, I am asking for anyone who has an extra slot for a character, such as premie folks, to roll and re-roll a few times and save dark elf ration kits, so we can stock up on some authentic dark elven foods. As many as you can get, preferably. I'm going to try and fill up at least 10 of the stackable food baskets for later use.. later next month, in particular. If you can, awesome, if not, I understand. PM me or IM me(phyrestorms) if you have a few(or a bunch) and I'll grab them as quick as I can. We can also organize another "sort the baskets" get together, like we did when preparing the Faendryl Dinner. That was a really fun event and our first and will always have a special place for me. Thanks all.

I'll start doing this, just remind me when you see me logon AIM.

Crosspost from the Sorcerer's Folder:

Hello all! Having trouble finding someone to work on illusions with you? Well, we can help with that. Every other tuesday(today) you can find a Master of Illusions available to work with you from 9pm to 10pm(possibly later, if there are no urgent things coming up). In the landing is Malkave and in Ta'Illistim is Queleri, courtesy of the Faendryl Enclave and Faendryl Alliance, respectively. You can find them available at each town's sorcerer's guild. (though for tonight it's wayside inn garret and illistim's sorcerer's guild, to be changed starting next time). I hope this proves useful.

For members or initiates of the Enclave, Malkave also has some alchemy reagents on hand, if you need any.

Well guys and gals.. EG is coming and it's time to get my alteration ideas in a line.. like ducks.. However, I find myself seriously lacking in ideas. I don't need more clothing. To that end, if anyone has ideas for items for the enclave, let me know! They can be uniforms, weapons, etc.. items to give out at events, items for members, whatever.

I'm working on a design for a shield for a Palestra, if anyone wants to gimme comments for that.. (do any of you warrior/Palestra types use a shield?) and a lor runestaff, both of which will be given away to members at some future thing.

I also recently realized that we are eligible to have member insignia made. I made a crest, a bit back, out of my giftbox item.. it is this:

a silver-set heraldic crest - Encompassed in a silver circle frame, a brilliant scarlet pentacle is set upon a field of grey. The ornate crest is flanked to the left with a silver lor tree and flanked to the right with an incarnadine shield. Scrolled crisply around the outside edge in elegant script is, "The Faendryl Enclave."

There appears to be something written on it.
>read my crest
In the Faendryl language, it reads:
Our discipline rules all worlds.

Would you want something like this or something else?

also, if you aren't going to EG and are a member.. but really want to get something altered.. let me know. I might be able to add it to my "to be altered" bag and hopefully get it done for you. I got a lot of stuff done for friends at spitfire and I'd be more than happy to try and get something done for my fellow enclave members.

again guys, if you want something worked on let me know. I've worked with a few members on some ideas, also, in the meantime. I've been having no trouble with coming up with ideas for others, just nothing for me, heh. Take advantage of me, all you want. (in this instance).

I'd be happy to help with this as well.

Meeting tonight at 10pm eastern, Thrak table.

Meeting highlights:

We inducted 3 new people, Durakar, Malosa, and Genaveve.

We're planning, for the future, a masquerade ball event and a traditional Faendryl wedding. An auction was mentioned(not a date, but items). We have a room in a landing shop for the Enclave(Lnet 358, the emporium) and the proceeds go to the Enclave.

We encourage everyone to submit ideas for future events! We've had 8-9 in less than 8 months, which is pretty good, if I do say so.

Again, feel free to toss me ideas or ask for help with alterations, for EG

Sorry I missed last nights, I was too tired.

There's a whole boat-load of bitches out there somewhere that owe me some rowing...

Quite possibly.

That's ok though, I'm a patient man. Sooner or later they'll forget... and... I might not.

Also, I'm not sure three counts as a harem.

I think Ceyrin only bought three... right?

We will be holding off on any scheduled meetings or gatherings in an official capacity until after EG is over. Hope everyone enjoys Halloween and the festival(if going) If not going, lemme know what you want, I already have a short list for people.

Hey all! Now that EG has ended we're going to get back into the regular swing of things. This tuesday, at 9pm eastern, we are going to have a little social get together. Feel free to dress up and join us in the ballroom of Silvergate. Feel free to bring a date/guest! This is a chance to meet other members, other Faendryl, learn more about the Enclave and such. Feel free to contact me(Japhrimel) also, if you have any questions or comments, let me know. Thanks

The regular meeting will be the day after, Wednesday, at 10pm! All Faendryl interested in the enclave are welcome to attend.

Yep, my records show Inurtia and the Dynamic Duo.

Wednesday is better for me!! I'll be there

Tried to find a member in game to relay this message to but had no luck...

Inurtia might not make it to the meeting/social tonight...her car broke down.

:help:

Ain't that a bummer.... beep beep!

That was fun! It always is! Liskey wasn't the only one drunk tonight. I think I may be hitting the motrin hard tomorrow .

Anyone been in touch with Veni/Velana? I'm semi worried about her because she hasn't answered my emails.

She has been on recently, so she is still around. Just not much for personal reasons.

Meeting in a few hours!! 10pm eastern, Thrak table.

Meeting Highlights:

Welcome Durakar as our newest Officer. There is still another spot open, so anyone interested please contact one of the Officers, such as Japhrimel, Queleri, Inurtia, or Leifa.

Possible snow-related event: I am leaning towards a snowman making contest, the ladies have overruled me and are suggesting an ice sculpting contest.

The Ball: Probably going to be right around new years. Possible themes that were suggested include: winter wonderland, masquerade, a new year under a night sky, steal the night way, hot and cold, start the new year drunk.. feel free to suggest some ideas.

Also, apparently, if you come to meetings with no top on, other ladies will definitely comment on it. (More men need to come to the meetings, I'm outnumbered here)

The next social gathering, in just under 2 weeks(tuesday nights at 9pm eastern) will be at the Festival of Frost's bonfire.

Congrats and welcome to Durakar!

Reminder to everyone, the next social gathering is tonight! We will be having that at the bonfire, at the festival of frost. It will be at our usual time, at 9, eastern

Meeting tonight, 10pm Thrak table!

Tonights Enclave meeting has been canceled. But stay posted for upcoming events and gatherings in the next few weeks.

Just a reminder that the Enclave's next meeting is tomorrow(wednesday) night. It is in the landing. We will be introducing a new Officer, discussing the possibilities with Illistim and if anyone is ready for it, inducting new members.

Going to organize a siegery mini tournament for february. I am leaning towards the 20th-23rd as I have a few days off then(my birthday present to myself).. Anyone have a time/date preference? Here's the news article I'm writing for it. Critiques?

The Faendryl Enclave welcomes one and all for a siegery miniature tournament on (to be determined). Unfamiliar with siegery? Why, just visit the Landing's Begetting Besiegers located east of the Raging Thrak Inn. This same shop will be the location of the tournament, to be held in the Underground Arena. It will be on a first come, first served basis and only a certain number will be allowed to fight, so grab your mini and come on by! The first place winner will get a little special something and second and third will each get a purse.

Hi there,

My husband and I are going to be coming back to GS. He is brand new but I haven't played since it was GS3. However I always role played a Faendryl and am excited to see a group for them active. Was curious if there was anyone I could look to contact in game or AIM? My AIM is the same as my forum name.

Thanks!

Look for one of the officers - Japhrimel, Queleri, Durakar, Kronius, or myself Leifa. Welcome back!!!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am Varethnar and my husband is Sionyl. We are hanging around being general noobs in Landing right now, and plan to see us at the meeting tomorrow!

Repost from Officials:

Food! on 02/07/2012 07:29 PM EST

If you have any ideas for dark elf food, feel free to throw them at my play.net!


~ Valyrka ~
Ta'Illistim
Elves
Dark Elves
Forest Gnomes



If you have any ideas, feel free to post them. I already shot out an e-mail with a few general ideas, but specific ideas might be much better.

Just a reminder that the meeting is tonight at 10pm. It is every other wednesday, same time.

Tomorrow night, Valentine's Day, is a scheduled guild work night. I am canceling that, as I will not be available. I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day or gets very drunk, either way. We'll see which way I go.

The Faendryl Enclave Presents a Game of Siegery

The Faendryl Enclave welcomes one and all for a siegery miniature tournament on the 21st of Fashanos,Tilamaires, at 9 in the evening. Unfamiliar with siegery? Why, just visit the Landing's Begetting Besiegers located east of the Raging Thrak Inn. This same shop will be the location of the tournament, to be held in the Underground Arena. A limited number of participants will be selected on a first come, first served basis, so grab your miniature and stop by! Prizes will be awarded for the top three winners! The first place winner will get a little special something and second and third will each get a purse.

Tonight! 9! in the landing!

I might be a little late for tuesday night's guild night. Dinner out with the parents before my dad goes in for surgery.

Wednesday the 14th, 10pm eastern, landing

Join your fellow Faendryl, members and otherwise, on the roof of the bathhouse to meet and get to know each other better. This is completely informal and is merely a way for different people who might not otherwise interact, or merely see each other at meetings, to converse. It will be at the normal meeting time, though people are welcome to arrive early.

My.computer crashed recently so I might not be able to make the guild night tonight.

Bereft of a computer I will not be making it tonight, most likely. I encourage people to gather and meet without me.

Meeting Summary:

We started with the Faendryl bardfest. It went well.

During that a candle kept flickering and then started talking and was, for the most part, insulting. So we responded in kind and it flamed up and 4 fire elementals came out, killing two people.

After we made sure the place was cleared out we went somewhere else.

Varethnar is going to hold a lecture next month on the Faendryl and Ashrim. If it goes well we are going to do a lectuongstory/song/something each month. Members are welcome to sign up to present one.

In June the Enclave has been invited to hold an Event in Ta'Illistim. We are looking for ideas on an event to be done there. Ideas are most welcome.

Then Cidolfhus shoano ff so we ran off and ended the meeting rather abruptly.. between merchants and murders it was.. different.. but not a whole lot got done.

Very cool!!! I am so excited about the upcoming events and our progress!

Thanks so much to Varethnar for taking on this project to instruct us further about the Ashrim.

I have a couple ideas for the June event in Ta'Illistim:

What if we did some sort of dance? This is a pretty cool idea, although Aeia is more RR centric.... http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/The_Blessing_Tree. There is also like a summer masquerade ball theme (picture Midsummer Night's Dream-ish). It's very foresty and magical and mysterious in Illy so we could pull off that theme quite well!

Another idea is a gambling or sporting event. This should perk Japhrimel's ears up! I still have those dart trophies and pouches if we wanted to have a dart throwing contest. I know Japhy has his gambling kit. I wonder if we could get a portable gaming table brought in or if there is a place that could be done?

My two cents! I'd love to hear any other great ideas!!!

~ Leifa

Demon themed masquerade ball. Prizes for the costumes in several categories.

I have been informed that if we have an event that involves summoning demons within town we might run the risk of being executed. So, maybe... Maybe not.

Ideas so far:
A palestra demonstration
a banquet
scrying event
A masquerade
Gambling event
Tour of otf

Personally I would love something that could include the airship or the new mid-QC Faendryl documents.

The War With Ta'Ashrim and its Implications for Faendryl Society as a Whole

Faendryl status with other nations before war

While it is known that the Vaalor instigated the vote for Exile and that the Nalfein unexpectedly supported them, what is not often spoken about is how the other Houses felt about the event.

We can glean a bit of information from later documents after the Ashrim war that Illistim, Ardenai, Ashrim and Loenthra were at the least neutral. It is likely that the Illistim might even have been swayed to the Faendryl’s side with an offer of shared knowledge.

Later, the Ashrim may have been persuaded to end the exile through offers of trade with the newly established Faendryl Empire. We do not know who first made the offer of political alliance through marriage but if there was not a large gain to be had by both sides then it would not have taken place.

Act of declaring war changed Faendryl society

For the first time since the Exile the Faendryl had to organize themselves into a militant society capable of waging war. It can be assumed that the entire economy was turned to this effort as well as the political structure. As it was largely Sorcerers and Mages who held positions of power it was they in the end who became the officers and generals of the military.

As we know from history and the recovered journals of Mage-Captain Ehrit al’Yari the actual military expedition was largely a disaster. The ships could not hold together without constant magical support, logistics were badly handled at best and the actual sea journey was something the Faendryl were completely unprepared for. It is a testament to our magical prowess that the level of destruction unleashed on Ta’Ashrim was done by so few.

We can still see echoes of this organization and the consequences of it in the current political and military structure of modern Faendryl. Even the name of the military, The Armata, is reminiscent of those early days. The Armata holds very little power and is no more than a border guard in times of peace, reflecting the disdainful view of the military that most Faendryl hold.

Winning war

Those who were still neutral now against the Faendryl

The victory over the Ashrim is traditionally the event that the other houses cite as the date and cause of ratifying a permanent Faendryl exile and branding them as so called dark elves. With the relative “ease” of the destruction of the Ashrim it is no surprise that all of the houses united long enough to declare the exile and then go back to bickering.

Caused the commonly held racism against the Faendryl to this day
It is during this period of widespread fear of the Faendryl that we can see the roots of modern racism. The stereotypical aloof, caring nothing for the lives of others Faendryl Sorcerer is the remnant of a boogey elf that was used by politicians of the day to unify hatred against the Faendryl.

Created current era of Faendryl isolationism

Internally, the war against the Ashrim did two things. The first is a reaction to the formal exile from the other nations. The Faendryl turned inward and focused on becoming a self-sustaining empire. This attitude of isolationism is carried forward to modern times.

Most Faendryl seen by other races are those who felt stifled by a very harsh political structure for various reasons. Internally the Faendryl have little need for any sort of outside contact or trade. Unfortunately this does little to show the error of the stereotype mentioned earlier.

Caused Faendryl loss of interest in waging war on the physical plane due to excessive casualties

The second major lesson the Faendryl learned from the war was that physical war, on the physical plane, had too high a cost. Every mage lost was not only a Faendryl life, but several human generations’ worth of knowledge.

In order to sustain a culture capable of acquiring and holding land by force of arms the Faendryl realized they would have to give up what was most precious to them, the search for knowledge and arcane power. This is an attitude that prevails among the Faendryl to this day.

When asked why they hide within their city if the Faendryl are so powerful, a likely response is, “You still squabble over dirt, while we assail the walls of reality itself.”

Just an update, everyone. The Enclave is now officially a tier 3 MHO. Check the yahoo group for more details and everyone make sure you check out the newly redone MHO guide site: https://sites.google.com/site/gs4mho/home

YAY FE!!! Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work, Japhy!!!!

Before our next meeting, everyone look this over: https://sites.google.com/site/gs4mho...r-3-item-lists

and come up with some ideas for a prize closet item.

Update everyone: our "crest has been made and is set up in a red bin located in the Landing's MHO Hall supply shop where members can purchase it for 5000 silver."

Hey all, just an update. The regularly scheduled meeting for tonight is being postponed till next week, same day and time and place. I know a lot of people will be in Zul and then EN today for the premium festival stuff.

We do need to work on prize closet items, reference the link 2 posts up with regards to that. Any ideas you come up with you can post on here or PM me with.

The masquerade ball is june 6th, in the Faendryl Embassy in Ta'Illistim. This is to celebrate the opening of the Embassy. The Embassy itself is providing food and, for the evening, a place for dancing. Any costume is welcome. If any Enclave members are having trouble putting together a costume, PM me or IM me(AIM is phyrestorms) and I will try to help you out. If you provide me with a piece of clothing, I'll try to get it altered at the premium fest, but no promises.

Here is the news item for the Masquerade: The Faendryl Enclave Hosts a Masquerade Ball: The sixth of Lumnea, at ten in the evening, in Ta'Illistim, the Faendryl Enclave invites you to join with them as they celebrate the opening of the Faendryl Embassy with a Masquerade Ball. Don your costumes and get out your masks, because everyone is invited. Any costume is welcome, but for those who are interested there will be prizes for the most original costume, the most representative of Faendryl culture costume, and the most historical Faendryl figure costume. Anyone who wishes to may have an opportunity to present their costume.

Here are the prizes, if anyone is interested (Special thanks to Durakar for helping get them done and thanks to Shila for helping aquire the items to begin with)

a horned vathor mask: Stony clusters of razored black spikes pit hard wood lacquered the hue of dried blood. Beginning just below the eye-sockets, a long lupine snout thrusts outward into a snarl, revealing jagged teeth crafted from shards of onyx. Just above the eyes are two large horns formed from dark basalt shaped to mimic keratinous ridges.

an ocular oculoth mask: Deepest black in hue, the mask is circular and curves backward to give the impression of a sphere. Tiny, tentacle-like protrusions, each carved with subtle distinctions, ring the outer edges of the mask. An outsized, obsidian-fanged mouth engulfs the bottom of the mask. Scattered across the face of the mask are a wide variety of gems cut to resemble eyes of all shapes and colors. One particularly large onyx gleams brightly in the center of the forehead.

a golden verlok mask: Crafted from pale white wood, the mask has been thinly gilded. A ring of gold encircles the eye-sockets and then extends downward and out along a razor-edged beak. Concentric rings of metallic feathers, cleverly affixed beneath the gilding, spray outward across the mask. Each feather seems individually wrought and placed, and together they leave just the hint of pale wood between feather and face.

Each is enhancive, though for different things.

Just a reminder of the meeting tonight at 10

Ok my "postponing till next week" message apparently got lost.. we'll reconvene next week at our normal time.

1. As a knight of Marlu I need to own this.
2. The description confuses me, at least the first part, seems like its missing a word or two in there.

Personally, I like the wording.. but I would. It's enhancive too..

The mask resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 3 to Spiritual Lore - Summoning Bonus.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 10 times.
It provides a bonus of 3 to Arcane Symbols Bonus.
