Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.

Anyone care to post a log of the meeting?

If is raw, could you just send it to me, I'll clean it up and post it.

I thought about logging the meeting but there honestly wasn't much ground-breaking news. That isn't to say it was a bad meeting, of course: simply that this was organized as the first meeting. It was Arch's decision that much of the meeting was player-run.

Summary:

* Arch asked what questions are most on the minds of Kaldar and Gnome players today. The biggest winners seemed to be the relationship between Gnomes and Kaldar, the differences between Kaldar and Gorbesh, and the current state of the Gorbesh population in the five provinces (what the Kaldar clans are doing especially).

* Entries for a new verb (SWEAT) were taken.

* Players were given a topic to think about for next meeting (Kaldar and Gnome food).

That's about it.

Because it's a gigantic can of worms. Eldritch, necrotic, squamous worms, writhing in a vile stew of coagulating ichor, crushed from the living gullets of a thousand infant puppies, ululating in wordless terror.

I know the last meeting for Kaldar and Gnomes was in late February. Is a third meeting going to be held? Unfortunately, I wound up missing the second meeting.

- Pazia

I need to search the forums more often! I've missed two of these meetings already?! Argh, if the third meeting is in late March, I will miss that too. Please keep posting dates/times here so I can be sure to make it to the one in April.

I'll see you there!

I left at 10:45. I cut almost all the fidgeting (Christ people is it so hard to take off your forehead zits and snake charms and winged boots and 1000 other moving items!) and some of the parts of of Purnay being an ass to the new GM.

Kyriaca says in Gorbesh, "Well, we happen to hunt in the same place, so it seems to work pretty well."
>
Lybox says in Gorbesh, "Hope you are ready for us"

Lybox says in Gorbesh, "Our last GM didnt last 2 months after he took us on"

Damozel says, "No challenge, just a fact."

Purnay exclaims, "I demand racial verbs! and Titles!"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "Archimedes turned tail after a short bit of talk of the Empire."

Serelan asks, "So what happens at these meetings?"

Pazia exclaims in Gorbesh, "Titles!"

Ehon says in Gorbesh, "ya but ya can get a ton of em with a big pile of..."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "I'd rather hear what Damozel has to say."

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "The most flies'd be found on a battlefield. So that one's right."

Damozel says, "I will give everyone another 5 minutes or so then we will get started."


Damozel asks, "So is this a good time and day for everyone?"

You say in Gorbesh, "Apparently."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Fine for me"

Damozel says, "Yes, well the fortress...I am not overly fond of the fortresses."

Pazia exclaims to Kyriaca in Gorbesh, "It's what you get, being that far away when you know there's a gathering!"

Damozel exclaims, "Ok then!"
Damozel says, "Now, this is going to be very informal. A chance for us to get to know one another."
Damozel says, "Now if I have to, I will silence the room, but I know as Kaldar, you know when to be quiet."
Damozel says, "This meeting is just your basic get to know me and each other a bit."
Damozel says, "I want to hear ideas, comments, whatever you feel a need to say."

Pazia asks in Gorbesh, "I take it 'my mother needs a man' would be inappropriate?"
>
Damozel says, "I don't have any spectalular announcements, right now."
Damozel says, "I will tell you one or two things though."
Damozel says, "You might all want to think about attending the ball that is coming up soon."
Damozel says, "I have a few things I have been working on, some approved some still waiting."

Serelan asks in Gorbesh, "Is it open to everyone?"

Damozel says, "One thing that I can tell you that has been approved, although the gentlemen might not be as thrilled as the ladies."

Pazia says to Damozel in Gorbesh, "I'll be doing my best. It's a Bard's natural habitat! Or so I'm told. It could be a tight fit, though. I've a party to play

Damozel says, "I have made some special material, that has come from Albaria"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "Home..."

Serelan asks in Gorbesh, "When is the ball?"

Damozel says, "The 26th of this month."

Serelan says in Gorbesh, "Ill make a note of it."

Damozel says, "Over the next few weeks you will see it in a very few places."

Ehon says in Gorbesh, "I better find my Fancy goin out clothes..."

Serelan asks in Gorbesh, "What time?"

Damozel says, "I will be hard to find at first."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "The shop in haven?"

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Can you give us more of a hint about the material?"

Damozel says, "Some of it will be rare."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "ooooh"

Purnay asks, "kilts?"

Damozel says, "Some not so rare."
Damozel says, "Some will be more common."

Ehon says in Gorbesh, "my luck a blasted Dusk ogres is going to have its grubby hands on it"

Damozel says, "I am working on something simular to kilts."

Damozel says, "With special tartans, that will be Kaldar only."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "And women's clothing that isn't just animal skins?"

Damozel says, "But all that is in the works and not approved yet so don't get to much in an uproar about it."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "What about Kaldaran weapons?"

Bastchian asks in Gorbesh, "Are these material and garb indicative of only Kaldar, and not part of Gorbesh culture per se?"

Damozel says, "You will have silks and satans and lace."
Damozel says, "Satins."
Damozel says, "Weapons are also on my list to bug people about getting for us."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "I don't care if it's satan wearing satin...anything but smelly old animal skins is wonderful"

Zagovor asks in Gorbesh, "As far as that goes, I'd hope to see a permanent Kaldar shop... perhaps with compound bows that are above average?"

Serelan says in Gorbesh, "Oooh yeah..."

Damozel says, "I have some shops in mind."

Kyriaca says in Gorbesh, "Well... I hope there are a few skins too, heh."

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "I'd also like to see one of those. And Kaldar speciality drinks."

Purnay says to Mellicent, "yer so betraying your warrior roots"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Gowns with fur for the more 'formal' Kaldaran woman."

Damozel says, "Believe me I have been a pest about getting stuff rolling."

Ehon quietly says to Damozel in Gorbesh, "I knew I liked ya"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Nothing wrong with mixing a bit of ruggedness with a bit of the shine."

Damozel says, "A Kaldar can be a great warrior and still look good."

Bastchian asks in Gorbesh, "And the origins of the garbs? Do they apply to both?"

Serelan says in Gorbesh, "Verby frocks..."

Ehon says to Pazia in Gorbesh, "theres my shine"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Ah! But they can look good and still be wearing skins, too."
Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Fine weapon."

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "Or... verby compound bows... above average compound bows"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Fur wraps."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "If they're tasteful"

Damozel asks Bastchian, "What do you mean by your question?"

Purnay says, "a reduced load comp bow..."
Purnay says, "that's NOT elothean"

Pazia exclaims to Mellicent in Gorbesh, "Fur and velvet!"

Damozel says, "The things I want to bring to you all will have their origins mostly from Albaria."

Bastchian asks in Gorbesh, "I'm assuming that given a time lapse, perhaps some cultural differences apply to Kaldar and Gorbesh. Asking if the new garb applies to both cultures?"

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "So, it will be Kaldaran, not Gorbesh?"

Damozel says, "Yes."
Damozel exclaims, "Ok!"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "And generational differences? The Kaldar are branching into different occupations all the time."

Lybox asks in Gorbesh, "yes it applies to both cultures or yes it will be kaldaran and not gorbesh?"

Damozel says, "I am also working on getting more history out to you all."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "I've been having a very hard time finding out anything about us"

Damozel says, "I have one book in line for approval as we speak."

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "I'd think a few 'Gorbeshy' things would be in order as well. Some folks like to indicate more of this part of their history than others"

Bastchian asks in Gorbesh, "Written by yourself?"

Pazia exclaims to Damozel in Gorbesh, "Well done!"

Damozel says, "Well I will not say who it is written by."

Damozel says, "But the person who wrote the book will be part of your lore."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Purnay asked about racial titles...is that in the works?"

Damozel says, "Now if I need to open the list I will. I would rather just keep this informal and relaxed."

Korutu says in Gorbesh, "Please do"

Damozel says, "I have started working on titles and will see what I need to do to start getting some out to you."
Damozel says, "But like everything, it takes time, so I will not promise how soon."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "understandable"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "We could start with 'Outrider.' Nearly sickens me to see rangers of non-albarian decent wearing such a title."

Lybox asks in Gorbesh, "is Gorbesh in the list of titles you are working on?"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Won't hurt us to wait any longer."

Damozel says, "No, but there is a reason for that and when the titles do come out I will explain why."
Damozel asks, "So tell me this. What other things would you like to see for the Kaldar?"

Keldavian says in Gorbesh, "Gorbesh deity favors."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Besides clothing and weapons?"

Damozel says, "Aye."

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "History was a big one. But factual accuracy I see as pivotal. Propoganda is not history."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "That's a good one"

Damozel says, "I have been studying the gods, and have thought about that. So we shall see."

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "Some of us worship the 10, not the Kermorian 13."

Lybox says in Gorbesh, "we want our gods"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Potential conflict between older and younger generations of Kaldar-- and living conditions. Villages-? "

Craetos says in Gorbesh, "a village"

Damozel asks, "What do you mean by living conditions?"

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "the dwarves have their own province"
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Every other race seems to have an area that is devoted to them"
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "except us"

Kyriaca asks in Gorbesh, "I think Plat was doing some things between city and non-city...?"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "We have not heard from the Empire in over 14 years."

Korutu says in Gorbesh, "Nomads"

Craetos says in Gorbesh, "everyone except us and gnomes"

Ehon says to Bastchian in Gorbesh, "that is kind of a good thing"

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "Other than what has already been mentioned... perhaps something on the order of the Eloth houses. Official tribes for Kaldar and maybe even some sort of Gorbesh 'house'."

Lybox says in Gorbesh, "i would be happy with some Gorbesh NPCs moving into the shard fortress"

Korutu says in Gorbesh, "I like it that way"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "No it is not."

Damozel says, "Ok."
Damozel says, "Ok settle down."
Damozel says, "I will tell you I have been pushing for tribes."

Damozel says, "I have them all worked up and proposed."

Mellicent exclaims in Gorbesh, "You have been busy!"

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "Hopefully they are not all 'run through the woods in a loin cloth' type tribes."

Damozel says, "If my idea comes to frutation, as I hope, now once again I am NOT promising anything any time soon."
Damozel says, "Each tribe will have its own Tartan."

Craetos says to Mellicent in Gorbesh, "that she has"

Damozel says, "The book I hope to get approved, now the key words there, HOPE to get approved."
Damozel says, "Will give you the names of your tribes and their leaders."
Damozel says, "Hopefully one will speak to you."

You ask in Gorbesh, "A long time ago some kaldar teemed items were released into the treasure system. The GM indicated that after some time they would tell us what those were... Can we finally get a list of those items?"

Damozel says, "I wish I could, I don't know what was released. I will look into it for you and see if I can get some kind of list."

You say in Gorbesh, "I thought it was Dart that put the items out, but I could be wrong."
You say in Gorbesh, "I'm sure the GM post is still on the boards if you want to look for it."

Damozel says, "I will ask him to see if I can find out for you."

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "I'm new to the realm and wouldn't know."

You say in Gorbesh, "Thanks so much."

Damozel says, "I have every post that has been made on the boards."
Damozel says, "I have been doing ALOT of research."

You say in Gorbesh, "Hopefully with a working search function."

Damozel says, "Nope I have to read them just like you do."
Damozel says, "Ok someone mentioned a village."
Damozel says, "That to is on my wish list."

Bastchian asks in Gorbesh, "An embassy out of the question I assume?"

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Do any of the other races have their own embassy?"

Serelan asks in Gorbesh, "An embassy?"

Damozel says, "I have been going thru the geography of the five provinces and have been looking for a place that would be appropriate."

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "No, but most have thier own provinces."

Damozel asks, "Tell me what area do you think would make a good place for a village?"

Lybox says in Gorbesh, "shard"

Korutu says in Gorbesh, "The mountains"

Lybox says in Gorbesh, "it is closest to our homeland"

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "Perhaps a new small island in Qi? There was a lot of Gorbesh navy activity out there"

Damozel says, "Outside of Shard is one area I looked at."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Horse country?"

Damozel says, "I have looked in the new Forfendhar area also."

Kyriaca says in Gorbesh, "I'd imagine someplace with forests and a lot of nature, just from the past stuff..."

Damozel asks, "You mean Horse Clan area?"

Keldavian says in Gorbesh, "I say we just conquor one of the existing cities. Shard would work, those scrawny bald ones don't need it."

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "Done it before."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Yes, that was what I meant"

Pazia says to Keldavian in Gorbesh, "I think not."

Damozel says, "I wanted to find a place that is close to the lands of Albaria."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Forgive my ignorance...but could you tell us what Albaria is like?"

Serelan asks, "And where it is?"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "South."

Damozel says, "Albaria is south of Shard."

Damozel says, "Over the Dark Hand."

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "Like I say, southern Qi was the first place the Gorbesh navy made contact with these lands"

Damozel says, "The land is covered in snow."

Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "At all times?"

Serelan says, "I need to go there."

Craetos says in Gorbesh, "so somewhere near Hib"

Damozel says, "As far as the research I have done has shown."

Serelan says, "I love sniw."
Serelan says, "Snow rather."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "No wonder all they wore were animal skins and fur"

Bastchian says in Gorbesh, "Some parts border the ocean. A large fog/mist covers much of it. Home to the Ocular."

Damozel says, "There are one or two spots near Shard that might work as well."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "How tragic for fashionistas"

Damozel says, "Not really."

Damozel says, "Inside near the fire, you are able to show off your finery."

Damozel says, "Outside you show off your furs."

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "So either way, I win."

Damozel says, "I will tell you this much about the material I created."

Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Guess I'll be needing a new wardrobe if we ever get our own village"

Damozel says, "well that the Kaldar wove."

Damozel says, "Its is a special material that holds the natural body warmth in and keeps the cold out."

Craetos says in Gorbesh, "I like the sound of that"

Zagovor says in Gorbesh, "I say make it cloth armor... you know... Kaldar Kevlar"

Damozel says, "There will be no Kevlar."

Craetos asks Damozel in Gorbesh, "does it work in reverse?"

Damozel says, "I don't think it has been tested in warm climates yet."

Lybox asks in Gorbesh, "when you create the clothing could you use the silver fist in some pieces for us gorbesh?"

Damozel says, "After all it has not been in any warm climate."

Damozel says, "I will consider it."

Craetos says to Damozel in Gorbesh, "I'm willing to test it in the heat"

Damozel says, "I understand some of you are Gorbesh."
Damozel says, "You have to let me get things rolling and see how I can fit it all in."
Damozel asks, "So, villages, weapons, clothes. Where else would you like to see progress?"

Craetos says in Gorbesh, "history and gods"

Pazia says in Gorbesh, "Customs."

Damozel exclaims, "Ah Customs!"

I was stuck on Aesry.... Argh. Thanks for the log Hanryu.

Your mind hears Eladrin thinking, "i saw tikoro make out with a goblin once"

Your mind hears Tikoro thinking, "{faintly}" "Yeah, your mum is pretty ugly."

Thank you for the log Hanryu.

>Damozel says, "You might all want to think about attending the ball that is coming up soon."

Damozel, does this apply in Plat also? Just Kaldar or gnomes as well?

This is the third meeting right? Anyway extracted speech text follows. The GMs did a little light show during Jerecis's god lecture. There were some critters that invaded, but I think the mechanics of the room made them wacky. I tried to bold GMs to make it easier to skim for announcements.

Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Alrighty lets get started."
Sansard asks in Gorbesh, "Is Icesilk a Gorbesh Kaldar or something both wear culturally?"
Maulem asks Jerecis in Gorbesh, "Get lost in there?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "In the first of these meetings we started a tradition of speaking only in turn and only when you have the talking dice."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Yeh, it's like a big empty cave"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Shall we keep that up or go more formal and use the list and shut the room up?"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "I added a whisky to the sideboard for those that crave some."
Maulem says to Jerecis in Gorbesh, "I thought I heard an echo."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He's so thoughtful."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Yes to the dice then?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Dice is fine with me"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Okay, if you have a question raise your hand when we come to that portion of the meeting."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "THough I'm sure I've got a talking stick 'round somewhere"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Welcome everyone! I am GM Belladzia, Kaldar Champ and this is GM Averiss Gnome champ."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "First let me thank you for coming, we have a few things to discuss then we'll get on with the lecture/store portion and then the questions and finally a gift."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Most of you know that the Albarian Caravan shop was created by my childhood friend Unorina."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "She traveled in Albaria for many years collecting tales and fashion, fabric and gems."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "One thing she gave to me for my upcoming birthday was this."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "This is a popular icon in our homeland for the Kaldaran people."
Belladzia exclaims in Gorbesh, "And I've decided to import it!"
Maulem whispers, "she give ya yours?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "'a mist-enshrouded white ironwood tree' is now considered our offical symbol."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Feel free to embroider it on your cloaks and packs and so forth."
Kargoth says in Gorbesh, "peaceful symbol for kaldar"
Maulem whispers, "Bad Hanryu! No biscuit!"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I have made a special pin out resembling this gift that will be used from now forward as a special medal of honor for anyone providing great services to theKaldar people."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yes, it is a peaceful symbol but it represents the lands we all once came from."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Where the mists and the white ironwood are previlant and much respected."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "The second announcement is that we have a special guest speaker for next months meeting."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "A celebrity."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "his name is Casimont Nalbiro."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "And he is THE Gorbesh linquest. "
You say, "Awesome."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He'll be speaking to us about the language, its origins and of course grammer."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He will also be answering questions."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "So if you've always wanted to know what the Gorbesh for onion was or you want to combine one or several words to make a new name for yourself or an item he'll be helping with that."
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "Ah good Maulem, you can stop butchering those translations into Common now eh?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He is a busy man though and has asked me to have you email your questions to me in advance so he an study them and give them the attention they need."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "So if you think of a question send it to dr-Belladzia@play.net please."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Final thing I have is about the meetings."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Everyone is on board with making them Albarian and having them be Gnome/Kaldar from now on?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Instead of just Kaldar and Gnomes can come if they want."
You say, "Yea, Gnomes need lovin' too."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "GM Averiss and I actually are the best of friends so you'd be getting something a bit rare and more than a little scary."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Gentle lovin' though"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "If you'd rather have them seperate feel free to email myself or Averiss."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Our guest speakers for tonight are Maulem and Jerecis."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Come on, clap everyone."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "There we go."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Oh.. yes, speech.."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Have my notes 'round somewhere"
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Well, they're just reservin their clappin till after I put em all ta sleep."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Maulem will be entertaining us with the first chapter of his auto-biog."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "And Jerecis will be speaking to us about the traditional Gorbesh gods."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Maulem will speak first."
Maulem exclaims in Gorbesh, "Nap time it is!"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Oh go on."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "All right. I'ma tell my story to y'all, as best as I recollect it, which may not be as best as it once was, as I'm gettin a bit old these days."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "I was born to a farmer and his wife, in the eastern reaches of the Empire. We lived in a small village there, with a bit of farm plot out back."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Ma used to grow the best ice peppers..."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Anaways, when I was quite young, about my second spring, I'd reckon, Da got conscripted into th' Army of th' Empire."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "He went off ta march north with them, inta Kermoria here."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Most of my childhood is lost to me now, up until about th' point of my fourteenth summer."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "A large group of Kaldarans had gone north, in search of a better life."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "No one from my village joined that first group, but in my fourteenth year, word started to spread of a bunch wanting to try."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Ma, not havin word as to whether Da was dead or alive, decided I should go. "
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "She told me it was a chance for me to find him, and if not, at least a chance to go and make a life for myself, a life outside of the farm village."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "So, I packed up what few things I had when the time came, and joined about twenty of my neighbors and we started north across the plains."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "As we travelled, we met up with other small bands of travellers, and usually the two bands would join together."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "One of those meetings is where I met Kivira."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "She was a fine young lass, and quite beautiful."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Bein around the same age, we struck up a friendship. Durin the trek northward, that friendship developed into much more."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "We were wed by a cleric of th' Thirteen, what had been travellin in Kivira's group. It was a clear fall eve."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Th' full moon lit the revelry of our lil group, who celebrated our marriage well into the night."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Not that I saw much but the inside of my tent for a good part of it..."
Maulem exclaims in Gorbesh, "Anyway!"
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "As we neared th' Hand, winter set in a bit early. In a meetin' of the older folks of the group, we decided to winter on the Albarian side, and not risk the trek through during winter."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "So, we dug in, gathered what we could for provisions, and prepared ta face th' comin storms. "
Unorina says in Gorbesh, "Pardon the interuption, please continue."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "The months of winter drug on, and the snows came heavier and heavier."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "We went on gathering trips, that grew longer and longer as we depleted the lands around us of almost everything edible."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "There was about two hunnert or so of us prior to winter, and about and eigth of those didn't survive to the time when we were found."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "For ya see, we were found, and saved, by th' Mammoth Tribe, a tribe of wandering Kaldarans, known for their adherence to th' old ways, and their worship of mammoths."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "I was in th' first party to encounter em, as was Kivira and her Ma."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "We were scouring a stand of white ironwoods, looking for anything to bring back for food. A snow storm was fell blowin, makin it real hard ta even see."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Out of th' blowin snow, I heard th' call of a mammoth, and a stampin of feet..."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "I turned to look, and there chargin us was a full bull, in his prime."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Atop his back was a warrior in full dress, a feral look in his eyes."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "I saw that bull bearing down on Kivira, and her Ma. And I did all I knew ta do. I threw myself between them and th' bull, stood tall, hands outstretched..."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "And I yelled. I don't recall WHAT I yelled, but Kivira told me it was soooo loud and sooo commandin."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "And that bull stopped, dead in his tracks."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "That began our contact with the Mammoth Tribe. Next time, I'll talk a bit more about em, and how I got my name, and my tattoo."
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "Painful mammoth tusk accident?"
Angelstears says, "very good story"
You say, "Avoid the pointy parts."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Thanks fer listenin."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Thank you Maulem that was very entertaining."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Unorina would like to say something."
Unorina says in Gorbesh, "I would like to give you a gift for such a wonderous story, I was truly quite taken away by it."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Well, I'm very honored."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Okay, and now the fun lecture."
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "Now I get to follow a tale of suspense an' adventure with a church lecture eh?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I'm dying to hear it frankly."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well then, before we get started just a couple things"
Belladzia exclaims in Gorbesh, "Oh a lecture and a lecture on the lecture. What fun!"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "One, what I'm speaking of here today is only what I've learned myself"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Please don't take it as if it were read stright from some ancient religious codex"
Azmag says in Gorbesh, "A lecture with disclaimers is the best kind of lecture if you ask me"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "And if you have any questions on the specific gods I can stop after each, I'll answer if I can"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "The whole point of the lectures is to educate us on what everyone is learning and has knowledge of from their own experiences."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "But a scholar I'm not"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well then"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Alright then. Well, seeing as I don't know how much anyone knows about the Ten we'll start off with a basic primer of the pantheon and go from there."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The Gorbesh pantheon is made up of ten dieties five god and five goddesses. They're a bit more on the primal side than the Thirteen, relating to essential forces from our people's past. Each deity has rule over a specific domain, meant to be understood in a more abstract form than the realm's name would suggest. For example Eiumuz holds power over the domain of wood, but that means not only the trees themselves, but the wood we build our homes out of, and the knowledge needed to build such things."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "A few things to put out there before we get into the specific gods. First, I'll refer to this as the Gorbesh religion, not because it's exclusive to my people but to differentiate it from the lost Gnomish religion and the worship of both the Thirteen and nature that some Kaldar practice. "
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Second, unlike the Thirteen, the Ten do not have positive or negative aspects, the Merion that warms your house at night is the same Merion who burns it to the ground the next day. "
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Third, astrology and prophecy are central concepts in the Gorbesh religion and so each member of the Ten has their own planet they rule over, which I'll make note of as we talk about each deity."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Ok on to the specific gods and goddesses that make up the Ten"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "First in any discussion of the Gorbesh pantheon is the greatest of our Gods, Xosiurion. Known as both the Lord of Bone and the Dragon God, he is considered the father of the gods and the driving force behind our creation. The realm of bone, and all thus things eternal, is his domain and the terrible dragons of this world and the next are his greatest creations. Though prayers are often voiced to speficic deities in times of need, all official ceremonies must involve the Dragon God in some form or another, as a matter of deference to his place as First among the Ten."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "He is depicted as either a dragon or a Gorbesh armored in dragon bones, and the skull of a dragon is his symbol. His planet, known here in Kermoria as Verena is Xosedas in Albaria."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well tha' was, odd"
Vyraka exclaims in Gorbesh, "You've awakened him!"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The most venerated Goddess of the Ten is the Ghostly Mistress, Orisas. She rules over the realm of spirit and the souls of all of our people that have died. She carries the souls in a silvery globe known as the Kaneijia, kind of a snow-globe of the afterlife."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "When the time of the last battle, or Ilaehl, comes she will cast down the Kaneijia, shattering the globe into a million spears of light and freeing the souls within. Our fallen brethren will take up the spears and march to battle against our enemies, led by the Mistress."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Orisas is always shown as an indistinct ethereal woman, cradling the softly glowing Kaneijia in her open palms, and it is the globe that has been used as her symbol. Her planet Osec, is knows here as Szeldia."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The god of iron and war, Tieheq is greatly revered by both soldiers and craftsmen alike. He often rides to battle with the Gorbesh armies, wielding his greatsword Ixiusks and his ice-spear Namivy. He fought alongside our people in the battle of Coevoe, the final great victory over the Luethra. It is said that Tieheq trained Xin'Alaudus himself in the art of war, and set him on the path to creating the Empire. He offers courage and strength to those who fight for our people, many prayers and offerings are sent to him the night before any battle. "
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Tieheq takes as his symbol his two weapons, Ixiusks and Namivy, and his planet is Tliij, the Kermorian planet Durgaulda."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Another member of the Ten venerated by warriors is Tieheq's wife, the Lady of Fire Merion. She is a very strong goddess, bringing warmth and safety to our people, and will fight alongside her husband against any who would threaten them. It is said that she devised the methods of forging and taught them to Tieheq to make his weapons, so she is also a favored goddess among Albarian smiths."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Her symbol is an anvil, covered in towering flames. Maeben is her planet, also known as Morleena."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The next we will speak of is Merion's sister, and near opposite, the Ice Mother Misiumos. She is closest to my heart, I've been a servant of the Mother for most of my life. She is the goddess of the Land itself, we are all her children. While she chills our bones with the cold and ice of winter that blankets most of Albaria, she gives us strength and courage at the same time; readying us for Ilaehl."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "'She puts the cold in our bones' is a saying I've heard often."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "As told in the Miuhl cycle, long ago she did battle with her sister, Merion and after many long months the Lady of Fire finally triumphed and the Mother relented, allowing for a few months of warmer weather in Albaria each year."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Her symbol is the Rimewolf that rules the northen tundras, and her planet is Misueshi, the Kermorian planet Amlothi."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The sixth member of the pantheon we'll speak of is Sraxaec, the Blood God. He fills many roles in the Empire, but all life springs directly from him. His blood is said to grant eternal life, and he offered a goblet of this to Xin'Alaudus after the Founder's great battle with the Dragon God. His power is what brings new life to this world, and what keeps life here, he is the god of healing and the injured or ill seek his favor. His marriage to Misiumos is what brought life to the land, all beasts, wild or tamed were created from this union. It is said during Ilaehl his head will be severed and his blood will blanket the land, bringing new life to the changed world."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "His symbol is a burning torch, representing his cleansing fire and vengeance for those that would spill Albarian blood. The planet Sidasis known here as Penhetia, is his domain."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Eimuz, the Builder is revered almost as much as the Dragon God for he has given many things to our people. He rules over the domain of wood, and sees the evergreens as his children. The techniques taught to us to construct our greatest cities were given to us by Him, and he taght us the ways of sailing as well. Though they may be dedicated to other Gods, newly built structures and ships are always blessed with His name as construction begins. It is said long ago that he constructed a fleet of ships by himself to sail his endless sea of stars, and he passed this knolwedge along to us, giving Xin'Alaudus the boat to return to the Empire after his great journey was complete. Even among the Gods he is depicted as a giant, standing twice as tall as the others."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "His symbol is one of his great ships, sailing across the sea of stars, and his planet is Eimarqe known as Yoakena here."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Alisa, with her domain of clay, is a builder like Eiumuz and it is their works together which created the whole of the Empire. She's seen as the nuturing mother to Misiumos' harsh birthgiver, and watches over the homes of our people. Artists of all kinds, though especially potters and sculptors, pray to the Hearth Mother before beginning a project, hoping for her blessing. Though she is the most peacful of the Ten, presiding in silence over treaties, she is a fierce warrior when her children are threatened. It is said that her halls are decorated with numerous statues of her enemies, although some say that they aren't statues at all, that she used her power to imprison them in stone."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The Hearth Mother's symbol is there clay bricks, stacked in a triangular formation. Her planet's Kermorian name is Er'Qutra, but we would call it Kneisa."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Excuse me, three clay bricks"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "There we are, much better"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "In Albaria the Storm Mistress is both revered and feared for her great powers of destruction. Aniek presides over the Storm Realm, and it is her wrath that ravages the land with tornadoes, blizzards and great lightning storms. She is quick to anger and spiteful, and will hold a grudge for an entire lifetime waiting for revenge. It is said that when the upstart Xin'Alaudus took to the seas on his journey she spent enormous amounts of power to try and destroy him, and when she didn't succed storms such as our people have never seem assailed our Home for a full month. "
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Despite her fury, she has done good things for our people as well, tales are told of her fighting the White Wind of the Shaerek, in hopes of our people reaching their city, and she is the patron goddess of our warships, the raiders. She also holds her greatest contempt and hate for the Deciever, and would do near anything to end Him."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Her emblem is three lightning bolts, a symbol of her rage and her planet, Aneus, is known as Ismenia in Common."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Aye I've known a few priests and priestesses of Aniek, a frightening bunch, them"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The last member of the Ten is the dark God, Sieben the Deciever. He holds court over the realm of Mists, both literally and figuratively as his mists cover the southwestern corner of Albaria. He is the god of lies, of deceit and of sabotage. He is a master of changing his appearance, so much so that he can fool his fellow immortals, and will do whatever he can to foster chaos in His world or ours. "
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "His greatest crime however, is the creation of our greatest foe, the Ocular. He created this shapeshifting race in his image to further his ends in this world, and they do so by causing as much harm to our people as they can. The Ocular inhabit a large portion in the southwest of Albaria, and only the combined forces of Kaldar, Gorbesh and Gnome together keep them contained in the mists."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "The Deciever's symbol is the chaotic image of a malevolent whirlwind. His planet is Avieben, known in Kermoria as Estrilda."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Filthy shapeshifters"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Now, while we've talked about the Ten, no discussion of our pantheon would be complete without the mention of the eleventh member. The founder of the Empire, Xin'Alaudus was said to have challenged Xosiurion to a battle, as a test of his strength."
Belladzia says to Jerecis in Gorbesh, "You're going to need to mop now you know."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "For eighteen days the Founder battled the Dragon God, with neither able to gain an advantage over the other. On the eighteenth day, Xosiurion shed his mortal form, and assumed the form ofa great dragon. For another eighteen days they fought on that way, mortal versus dragon until the God could continue no more and bowed before Xin'Alaudus. On that day the Lord of Bone hailed the Founder as his brother, and Sraxaec gave him a cup of his blood to seal his immortality. "
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "This we refer to the Founder as God-Emperor Xin'Alaudus."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Thus.. not this"
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Thirty six days of fighting. Sounds like my last marriage."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "That'll be the end of this first section on the religion of our ancestors. If Lady Belladzia asks me back for another sometime maybe we'll get into a bit on the story of our creation, or possibly even some dicussion on priestly orders."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Thanks for sticking around and letting me ramble on about ancient history, hopefully you don't go home more confused than when you got here, and if you have any questions please feel free to bug me about it whenever."
Halfstaff says in Gorbesh, "well done Jerecis"
Unorina says in Gorbesh, "That was wonderful, thank you so much."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Thanks for listenin', glad I didn't chase off the crowd"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Unorina has graciously offered vouchers to all who speak, sing or perform at this and future gatherings."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Very generous."
Unorina says in Gorbesh, "Oh, well..."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Yes it is, thank you Unorina"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "that was a wonderful lecture, Jerecis, thank you so very much."
Vyraka asks in Gorbesh, "Does that include previous ones?"
Vyraka says in Gorbesh, "Kidding."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Maybe, we'll see."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "By the way"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Hmmm?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "If anyone ever wants to ask me anything, feel free to look me up"
Averiss asks in Gorbesh, "So....has everyone seen the Food and Drink Contest info?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "A most generous offer."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "As I said can't promise I can answer, but always willin' to try"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Or bluff my way through it at least"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Has everyone entered it yet?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Aye sure did"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Not yet, wanted to ask a question about it first"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "By all means, enter it and enter often."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Fire away."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "yes, enter enter and enter some more."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well you mentioned that it might be possible to have special tastes for Albarians at the last meeting, just wanted ot know if that was still the plan"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "This is your chance to have your own personal food created for you and put out in the world."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Alright then, I'll be sendin' 'em along soon"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Thanks"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "To clarify there is one WINNER per account but you can enter as many times as you want."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Ten dozen if you like."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Yes it is and yes we can have special tastes done. If you put a special taste in, make it for the race you want the taste for and what you want another race to taste as well."
Belladzia says to Jerecis in Gorbesh, "Good question."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "bet you wished you'd shaved."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Don't need to now."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "True enough."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Also, think outside the box, Cheeses, wines, steaks, sweets, pies, frozen drinks. vegetables, fruits...endless items really."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "We'll be posting the contest rules to the home page this week, I think not everyone reads the Kaldar or Gnome forums as often as they should."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Make it in game though please."
Maulem asks in Gorbesh, "Wha I do now?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "No "This Bud's for you" kinda thing."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Ahh, ya must be referrin to my messagin fer my idea."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Okay, I'd like to say something once Averiss is finished with the contest talk."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Also we are thinking of adding to the meeting format a bit to spice things up."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I originally started these meetings as a way to interact with the Kaldar players in the game. Thats as far as I thought about them. The guest player speakers seemed like (and still is) a good idea and a good way to find out who you think you are as Kaldar and now of course as Gnomes."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "But if we're combining the races for these meetings then I think we'd both like some input as to what you'd like to see for the meetings."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Yes?"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Besides possibly combining meetings as a Gnome and Kaldar experience, we are also thinking of adding games and even event hunts and even mini quests or invasions."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yes, Averiss likes killing you all so I think thats going to happen at a lot of future events."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He's really rather overly fond of it."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I'm not joking."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "No objection to dyin'"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He loves killing you."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He lives to see you die."
He is wearing a black silk armband embroidered with the symbol of the Sewer Rat Gang, a large sack, a tiny pair of black fighting pants studded with blue diamond crystals, a tiny hunting sheath, a deep ebony scarab amulet inset with emerald eyes, a large spidersilk sack, some fitted shadowy black sandals with detailed straps, a tiny embossed satchel labled, "IDEAS" in glittering blue diamonds, a tiny smuggler's moneybelt studded with tiny blue diamonds, an origami-paper envelope, a colorful sack embroidered with bursting pinatas, a crystal skull, a tiny hand-stitched travelers pack with gold ferret clasps and a tiny black carryall clasped with gold ferret with blue diamond eyes.
Belladzia asks Averiss in Gorbesh, "I lie?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "As long as there's not hide and seek, simly too skewed to the Gnomish side"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "No she is telling the truth."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Our next meeting will be mostly devoted to our guest speaker who is someone very very special in the world of Elanthia."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "I love sending invasionary forces to keep people on their toes."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He's lying, he doesn't send them to keep you on your toes."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "He likes killing you."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "But anyway, after that we'd like to bring the level of the meetings down to something less formal and more chaotic."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "So if you have suggestions post them to your forums."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Always a welcome idea."
Belladzia asks Averiss in Gorbesh, "Shall we move on to the question and evasive answer portion?"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Or did you want to kill them first?"
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Although I suddenly fear him testing my ability to stop a mammoth with a roar."
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "Well, it's a good thing you didn't tell them the 'I beat Tieheq in an arm wrestling competition' story then eh?"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "I would hate to bloody the place up, since most are not ready for it I imagine."
Belladzia says to Maulem in Gorbesh, "Tempting him is a bad idea, he doesn't have a LOT of self control where killing you is concerned."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yeah, you have no idea with him, I can't stress that."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Ok ready."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Anyone here ever a part of the old G.N.O.M.E. meetings?"
Vyraka says in Gorbesh, "Darn it - and I just got my favors back up to 19."
You say, "Those guys always had the best games."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "I attended a few events they held"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "We'd like to speak with you both sometime when we can coordinate a meeting type of thing."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I told you."
Halfstaff says in Gorbesh, "certainly"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Didn't I say don't tempt him?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "But no, you all thought I was just talking."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Mmm. Beefy."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Its not the normal swain I assure you."
Unorina says in Gorbesh, "Good night all."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Not to worry if you die we'll take care of it."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "We must get him in some sort of therapy for this."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Wow. REALLY beefy."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Join on me everone."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Roarin. Join up."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Aww."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Ok first before we go any further, hold up a moment please."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "I want to make sure the meeting if there is anything else we need to discuss before I unleash some fun in this room."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yeah the Q A"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Lets get that over with then you can kill them all."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Anyone have a question?"
Azmag asks in Gorbesh, "Has any new information been found regarding the gnomish gods?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "RAise your hand if you do."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Lets do that first, then."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Once you have the dice feel free to ask away."
Azmag asks in Gorbesh, "Has any new information been found regarding the gnomish gods?"
Belladzia says to Averiss in Gorbesh, "WE'll do the gift before you kill them all too."
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "That's not the gift?"
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "But ya must roll a five or better to ask a question."
Belladzia says to Averiss in Gorbesh, "I'll let you deal with the Gnome Gods. They scare me."
Azmag says in Gorbesh, "A no comment will suffice here"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "The Gnome Gods is in progress, let put it that way, it is deep under investigation at the moment."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Between murdering sprees"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "The Gnome Gods are in progress I mean."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Anyone else have a question?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Can't seem to raise my hand"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Averiss broke the room."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Just ask away."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well last meeting I was asking about being able to hail Gnomes more respectfully, and as an addition I'd like to ask if it would be possible to get just a general 'hail' verb"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Or nod at me and I'll give you the dice."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "So we didn't have to hail each person in the room seperately"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "General hail as in?"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "I forgot about the dice."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Gets, repetitive"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Oh I see what you mean."
Vyraka says in Gorbesh, "hail all"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "We'll look into that and see what we can discover before the next meeting."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "General hail, check."
Maulem asks in Gorbesh, "Any progress on the lang fort idea?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Ah"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yes."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "No."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Thus, "question and evasive answer"."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I am in negotiations with a group of elves for some land south of Crossing."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Basically, yeah."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, ""Soon""
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Aww...but...that's clear down THERE..."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I should have something more to report at the next meeting."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "It's lovely down there."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "And you'll like it."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Anyone have a question?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "The only requirement of land I currently have is easy access to the Gnome home once its you know settleed."
Halfstaff says in Gorbesh, "thank you"
Halfstaff asks in Gorbesh, "forgive me for asking, but I've been away traveling for a while. But has any progress been made on the Village?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Your turn for an evasive answer."
Halfstaff says in Gorbesh, "not pressing..just asking"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "There has yes, but that is for my fellow Co Champian to speak of."
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "Dartanian Is not with us today unfortunately."
Kargoth says in Gorbesh, "thanks"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "We answer to many."
Kargoth asks in Gorbesh, "i just like to know more of the white tree symbol and why are we so peacefull all of a sudden?"
Kargoth asks in Gorbesh, "we are all still gorbesh aint we?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Actually the are you gorbesh is an argument I'd rather not have tonight."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Again."
Vyraka whispers, "I'm trying to be a good girl, and not a speaking hog."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "The symbol is neither peaceful nor violent. Its a representation of two ideals from the homeland that the Kaldar who still live there often use."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "And so we've simply imported it. If you prefer a clenched fist by all means use that."
Kargoth says in Gorbesh, "kaldar are of pure blood tho and always have been"
Kargoth says in Gorbesh, "our gods even point that out"
Vyraka whispers, "I never understand what people mean by pure blood."
Kargoth says in Gorbesh, "is just a different way i see things i guess"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I don't follow the pureblood arguement though thats not all that important at the moment I suppose."
Vyraka whispers, "Oh good - glad I'm not the only one."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "It's simply a symbol, it represents the people in a general way. It's not religous or cultural persay."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "It simply is."
Kargoth says in Gorbesh, "and i nice one at that"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "And as I said if you prefer a clenched fist, go for it."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Anyone else with a question?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "nod since I guess you can't raise your hand now."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Quick before he can't control himself."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "The gift is Kaldar inspired but Gnomes are welcome to one as well."
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "Wha' am I gon' do with that?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "A servant of Averiss"
Vyraka exclaims in Gorbesh, "I loooove it!"
Averiss says in Gorbesh, "You were not supposed to kill him."
Maulem asks in Gorbesh, "No?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Good evening to you all, I leave you in the hands of Averiss."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Gods help you all."
Maulem says in Gorbesh, "Sorry, Nasenedra said I should."
Songbird says, "pretty"
You say, "OH, is to late to ask if there are any "albarian" gems in the new system? Ones that would traditionally be from the south of the Hand."
You say, "Yea like that."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "There are a few different kinds that are on the stuff sold in the caravan"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "But I'm not sure that they're in the system yet.. I can search the stuff I've been collecting though"
You say, "Yea I was kinda wondering if those on the wagon gear were just gems or specifically albarian gems."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well then, guess I'm set to lose m'head"
You say, "Well, I'll put up a proceedings of the meeting tomorrow sometime."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Thanks Hanryu"
You say, "Safe paths folks."

I posted the second one in this folder. I wasn't at the first one, but if someone sends me the raw file, I'll have my script clean it and post it.

Tolle says, "Yup yup, 'bout time. What the heck took you so long?"

It was a gem pouch with the Kaldaran symbol on it. Nice to hold the cobalt colored gems I find, though I've only found one so far.


~Mammoth Rider Maulem Akavame, Death Dealer in training

I got there ~10 min late because of my bad internet connection, but it seemed like I didn't miss any good parts, just list joining and general chatter... so here we go with the log of meeting 4.

---

You see Casimont Nalbiro, an Elothean.
Casimont has tilted almond-shaped crystal blue eyes. His grey hair is short and fine, and is worn tousled. He has fair skin.
He is in his prime for an Elothean.
He has a short thin mustache on his upper lip and a sparse beard.
He is in good shape.

He is wearing a pair of leather sandals, a black leather book satchel scuffed grey with age, a black scholar's gown with a broad red velvet band on each sleeve and a pair of thick-lensed spectacles.

Casimont says, "thank you."
Casimont says, "I though tonight I might say a few words first..."
Casimont says, "and then later on answer any questions you may have."
Casimont says, "I'm here tonight really in my capacity as a publisher..."
Casimont says, "rather than as a grammarian."
Casimont says, "I am fortunate enough to be a partner in the largest publisher in Shard..."
Casimont says, "Nalviro and Firegoat."
Casimont says, "most of you have seen our dictionaries, I'm sure."
Casimont says, "but we would like to branch out."
Casimont says, "and move more into the role of the famous Elven books on marriage customs."
Casimont says, "It occured to us that there was a sad lack of information on the customs of Gnomes and Kaldars..."
Casimont says, "and we would like to remedy that, if we can."
Casimont says, "so first, I'd like to enourage those of you with a flair for writing..."
Casimont says, "to consider submitted something on the customs and life of your people."
Casimont says, "stories and songs are particularly welcome."
Casimont says, "fiction, of course, is fine."
Casimont says, "and we never have enough humor."
Casimont says, "perhaps you might like to explain how it came about that two such disparate races speak the same language."
Casimont says, "or the little problems it might cause."
Casimont says, "of course, we are not stopping our publication of dictionaries."
Casimont says, "not a whit."
Casimont says, "and in fact, I'm happy to announce to you tonight..."
Casimont says, "that the next work in that line will be one-volume editions of Dwarven."
Casimont says, "including a Haakish to Common version that has never been available before."
Casimont says, "so you are the first to know."
Casimont says, "the Dwarven grammar is not as streamlined or as complete as your Gorbesh grammar..."
Casimont says, "but eventually we'll get their too."
Casimont exclaims, "oops!"
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "You mean you're announcing the introduction of something completely new to the world tonight to our modest gathering?"
Casimont exclaims, "but eventually we'll get THERE too!"
Casimont says, "yes, that's right."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I..we are honored, Casimont. I had no idea such an important work was in the, well, works."
Casimont says, "it willo be out in a matter or days, or at the most, weeks."
Casimont asks, "now, I'm sure that you have your own questions you'd like to ask, so Belladzia, would you handle the list, please?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yes of course."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Greetings professor, quite an honor to have you here"
Casimont says, "thank you. It's mutual."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "I'd had a question about written translations from common to gorbesh if you could"
Casimont says, "of course."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well, spoken it doesn't seen to make much of a difference, but I was wondering if the genitive suffix was different when adding it to nouns that already end in an 'a'"
Casimont says, "the answer, I think, has several parts."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Specifially I was trying to translate 'Imperial' into Gorbesh, but wenaa just didn't look right"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "However no one ever accused me of being the most literate Gorbesh in the world, so I guess my spelling skills aren't to be trusted"
Casimont asks, "ah, I see. Can you give me the whole phrase?"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Well I was translationg military divisions, in this case the Southern Imperial Cavalry"
Aethyrr quietly says in Gorbesh, "Please excuse me."
Casimont says, "ah, certainly. One moment."
Casimont says, "best to be sure."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Aye thank you, quite appreciate the help"
Casimont says, "you are quite in luck, and indeed, just about correct..."
Casimont says, "the word for Imperial, 'wenaya', is an adjective. Just put it next to the noun for cavalry."
Casimont says, "no further change is needed."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Ah wonderful, thank you again"
Casimont says, "keep in mind that all that ghe genitive does is to allow a noun to function as an adjective."
Casimont asks, "you're welcome. Who's next?"
Ehon says in Gorbesh, "I wanted to thank you again, for not only coming here, but also letting us be part of your Work as well"
Casimont says, "it's both my passion and my privilege."
Ehon says in Gorbesh, "And when you mentioned Haakish, I remembered some Armor my wife had purchased me, during the festival of the gods, and I have not been able to find anyone that could translate it for me"
Casimont says, "I'll certainly try."
Ehon asks in Gorbesh, "if you wouldnt mind, could you tell me what the inscription says?"
Casimont says, "all right. One moment."
Draelan quietly says in Gorbesh, "'Nice lookin plate"
Ehon says in Gorbesh, "it has saved my Kaldar hide more than once for sure"
Casimont says, "I had to think a moment..."
Casimont says, "but if I'm right (and I usually am)..."
Ehon quietly says in Gorbesh, "please dont say I love shiprats"
Casimont says, "sverth means 'honor'"
Casimont says, "honor in something..."
Casimont says, "let me think..."
Casimont exclaims, "ah yes!"
Casimont says, "that would be 'Honor in Saving,' or perhaps 'honor in preserving'."
Casimont says, "posibly 'honor in protecting'."
Casimont says, "it covers a lot of ground in Dwarven."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Translations are never exact are they?"
Ehon asks Casimont in Gorbesh, "So basically it boils down to Context?"
Casimont says, "well, one does the best one can."
Casimont says, "I would say so."
Casimont says, "here's what it is, literally..."
Ehon says in Gorbesh, "I would say since it is inscribed on some armor...That Protecting would seem more appropriate? but then again, I am no Master like you."
Casimont says, "the verb is halde, which means to protect, to save, to preserve..."
Casimont says, "and the -lar ending changes, for example, 'protect' to 'protection'."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "I would like to add my thanks."
Casimont says, "you're quite welcome, lady."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "We are very honored to have you at our meeting."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "My question is this..."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "I would like to change my name from common to gorbesh"
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "My last name."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Which is Goldenhope"
Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "Would that be....Roet Syata?"
Casimont says, "I can translate it for you. But changing it..."
Casimont says, "the traders would ship me off to Hara'jaal for poaching."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "No worries. I am a trader."
Casimont says, "ah, then you know what is involved better than I."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Very well, sir."
Casimont says, "let me see, now ... Goldenhope."
Casimont says, "hope would be 'roek'..."
Casimont says, "now for golden..."
Casimont says, "I would say Syataroek is the name."
Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "The adjective would go first?"
Casimont says, "if you like Roeksyata better, some do it that way."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "No, I like Syataroek...it rolls off the tongue better. But I wasn't sure if that was correct"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "First 'un flows a little better"
Belladzia asks Casimont in Gorbesh, "Are there any general rules for combining two Gorbesh words into one name?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Say an adjective and a noun."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "I would love to know that too"
Casimont says, "right."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "It's the most common question I get asked actually."
Casimont says, "in prose, the usual order is noun + adjective..."
Casimont asks, "does that help?"
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "Thank you, sir"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yes I think it does. Combine and then mush it together a bit until it sounds right to you."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "That's what I usually do."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I have one final question if you wouldn't mind."
Casimont says, "don' mind at end."
Casimont says, "at all, I mean."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "You mentioned that your publishing firm was interested in new histories and stories of the Kaldar and Gnome people and/or experience."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "How would these be submitted to the firm? Through myself and then passed along or to you directly?"
Casimont says, "the most effecient way..."
Casimont says, "let me put it this way. I'll tell you, and you can pass it on to whoever would like to submit."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Excellent."
Belladzia asks in Gorbesh, "Do we have enough interest amoung those gathered for a short course on writing a book?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I'll try to arrange a brief class on the technical aspect of that if we do."
Casimont says, "one last thing, Belladzia."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Aye that would be good"
Casimont says, "I dislike carrying books back to the shop with me."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "They are very heavy to be sure."
Casimont says, "so I would like to challenge our audience to tell me what the Gorbesh word for 'love' is."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I have a feeling someone will get something 'sweet' if they do."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Isdari"
Casimont exclaims, "very good!"
Ehon says to Jerecis in Gorbesh, "I call my wife that all the time, and he asked, and I drew a blank"
Mellicent asks in Gorbesh, "isde?"
Casimont says, "here, Jerecis. May you enjoy it."
Belladzia exclaims in Gorbesh, "Wow!"
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "Sir this is quite a gift..."
Quenal says in Gorbesh, "Definitely someone who will get good use out of it."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Thank you very much for joining us Casimont, I know I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion."
Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "I will keep it safe for as long as I breathe, hopefully for more than just my use"
Casimont says, "thank you all for your kind attention. And the best of fortune to you wall."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "bar is gone"
Ehon asks Belladzia in Gorbesh, "the sideboard is gone?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Yep"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I'll put it back eventually."
Ehon says in Gorbesh, "But...but..."
Ehon exclaims in Gorbesh, "im thirsty!"
Jerecis asks in Gorbesh, "You really have a mean streak don'cha?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Okay, so for next meeting I thought we do something different."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Cause as much fun as that talk was and the ones in the past."
Quenal asks in Gorbesh, "Dance party?"
Maulem asks in Gorbesh, "Javelin toss?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "My ass is beginning to spread and I could use some excercise."
Medwardl says in Gorbesh, "im curious what food was choosen thats why i came tonight"
Maulem exclaims in Gorbesh, "Hunt!"
Quenal loudly exclaims in Gorbesh, "Dance party?!"

Jerecis says in Gorbesh, "And sounds like a blast"
Revildebul asks in Gorbesh, "There is a necromancer afoot in Shard...we going to bring back a piece of him?"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Averiss is wearing off on me."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Mostly I wanted these meetings to do two things."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "Provide you with access to me."
Medwardl says in Gorbesh, "im lazy tonight ill wait for you to come back"
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "And access to each other."
Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "We can do that if you're all dead."
Mellicent says in Gorbesh, "best part of the week is being here."
Belladzia exclaims in Gorbesh, "Okay and on to the contest!"

Belladzia says in Gorbesh, "I am a GM people."

Wow. I actually won something?

Now just to find out how to get it!

Loved the entries, and thanks for posting the log. Wasn't able to make it myself to the meeting but it was good to attend vicariously.

~Solantir

Yes! I got this invite from Ehon.

>read inv
A smoky topaz icesilk invitation reads:
"You are cordially invited to attend a scavenger hunt hosted by the Kaldar and Gnome Champions. Come help your fellow Gnomes and Kaldars find the hidden treasures of Shard. We will gather at the old Gorbesh Fortress just south of Shard's southern gate on ~Sunday-March 15th~ at 9:00pm EST. There will be plenty of food, drink, death and general mayhem as well as grand prizes for the winners of the hunt! All guilds and skill levels are welcome (Gnomes and Kaldars only though please)! "

I have a few more Invitations, so if you need one, I am in the Shard Area.

>Will it be necessary to have an invitation to attend the meeting? Or can I just show up? Thanks.

Should be able to just show up, they're only meant to serve as reminders.
