Here are our picks for the Best of the June 27th-29th, 2014 event:

Best PC

“I would follow her into battle any day.”

Dawn Coolidge really shone this event in her role as Lex Mitorae. Whether it was knocking down Hyurog bodily and feeding on him, or standing at an anvil creating things to help protect the town or delegating responsibility, she did an amazing job in her last game as Lex, and lots of people noticed. Here are words of praise from your PELs: “Lex had some great moments during her last game. [She] showed definite enthusiasm and acceptance of responsibility.” 
“Lex was great this event- [she was] gettin [stuff] done, and I was glad to be able to help”
“Lex did a great job running with all the different plots she had going on this game. She was super busy but handled them all superbly. And when she couldn’t do things herself, she delegated like a boss.” “Lex was amazing, planning with both her generals and keeping the town in the know. I would follow her into battle any day.” Congrats, Lex! You deserve this!

We are truly fortunate to have another remarkable new NPC on staff who has quickly found her place at the game. This month’s Best NPC, Cara Backman*, came to us a couple of events ago and has really shown us what a wonderful person, nevermind NPC, she is. Cara is just a wellspring of energy, enthusiasm, helpfulness, and volunteerism. She is constantly helping wherever she can, whether it is with cleaning or crunching or setting up mods or diving into role-playing. She is often one of the first people at the camp to help set up and one of the last to leave at the end and she does it all without complaint. We are so happy that she finally came to game, and even happier that she is on staff. Though this is a paltry “Thank you” next to what you actually deserve, Cara, know that we truly mean it. Thank you!

Regarding the Position of Magistrate in Elmerton

Citizens of Elmerton.

Recently I have met with both your current Magistrate Oliver Finnestera and your former Magistrate Rakesh and in lieu of our discussions I judge that you are capable of continuing to administer decisions of enforcement of the laws amongst yourselves and that you are not in need of House intervention.  That being said, I am interested in meeting with any of you who feel are an acceptable candidate for Magistrate before reaching any final decisions on the position of Magistrate of Elmerton.

I ask any interested party to meet with me at the Amphitheater at two and half bells on the 30th day of Stillbreeze.  The prerequisites of the position include a letter of recommendation, residency within Elmerton on a regular basis is a strict requirement, and have at least one second to help in the administration and execution of the position of Magistrate.   In the event the Magistrate must travel it will then fall to the House Lav'Endrossecond to preside over the town or to contact the House for a temporary Magistrate to step in.

In the interim, please continue to accord your Magistrate Oliver Finnestera all due respect as, until I determine otherwise, he remains your Magistrate.  I look forward to meeting you.

Gatekeeper’s Sights Set on Elmerton

My master was good for a very long time. You interested him, all of you did. Your fighting spirit, your good cheer in times of unspeakable horror, the very fabric of Elmerton… it’s quite fascinating. Although he tested you all at various times he never intended to bring any of you true harm.

He never intended to destroy Elmerton, he just understood that spirits as strong as all of yours would do us very well in building the true and pure realm of death. He even entertained the idea of asking a few of you to maybe join him in our… my cause. He figured that once you were all able to wrap your minds around it, you would realize that what we intend to do is the future and what is truly the correct path for all that live on Magesta.

All that however is now behind him. You have all forced his hand and have noone to blame but yourselves. We want you to remember that as you gaze into the pool of blood, and you lay breathing in those last few precious breaths before meeting him in your afterlife for judgement. He wants you all to remember that as you hear the screams of the innocents, that you have forced us to damn. He wants you to remember that as you see your buildings burned to the ground, your farms destroyed, your lands scorched, and all that you believe to be true proven false. He wants the screams of your friends and loved ones to echo in your ears as you beg for a mercy that will never come, and he wants you to remember that all of this future carnage is on all of you.

Hearkin was his plaything. He was to be the leader of our forces, and much more merciful than what will now befall you. His family owes a debt that none of you clearly understood the depths of. By taking him out of my masters control, you have forced him to go to the man who stayed out of your world only by his good graces. Make no mistake this man is walking death incarnate. The irony of it, is that he was only freed of his inescapable prison by your town’s efforts. The fact that he will now repay that with your death is almost too perfect.

He goes by many names: The Hated One, The Forgotten One, The Killer of Worlds, The Terror of All, and many more that he has more than earned in his many years. You all know him by his true name however, and it will be the last thing you curse as your life is snuffed out by the end of his blade. You have left us with no choice, and if my words have you terrified than you are at least smart enough to understand what his appearance means, and how serious your transgression against my master was.

Live in fear for the Gatekeeper has set his sights on all of you….Carzon Sazdar will take your lives. It will be my master that takes your spirit, and my master, much like him, will show no mercy. Blame none but yourself, judgement comes for you all. Make yourselves ready…..

GatekeeperDark days are before you!

A Letter to Elmerton

Leave a comment

Heroes of Elmerton,

I have received information that will help us in our fight to restore Armego to his rightful position. A liminal known as Xoltrium has graciously offered to help us and has given the following answer to a query about the hearts of the liminal drones we were able to obtain.

Placing the hearts of liminal drones into these warriors is a good step indeed. However, the hearts alone will not be enough. I will give you a handful of strands of hair from my living body and enough maggots from my dead body to allow each member of your force to have one of each. These must be used in conjunction with the hearts.

 Once the voice begins to hate the voice, the skin begins to hate the skin. You must reinforce this and fuel Hyurog,s rage- a weakness of his that you will need to exploit in order to tear him away from Armego. Two Warriors in unison will seek out one individual who must immediately find another individual of his choice with whom he will stage a fight. In front of the two warriors, the two individuals must make a show of one hating another- through one voice fighting another. Or one skin fighting another. At the height of the show, the individuals must turn their heat on the Warriors and fight them in honorable combat. If they are able to best the Warriors, they must then open each of the Warrior’s chests and insert the drone heart along with the strand of hair and the maggot. The Warriors will heal their own skin and return to the Aspect. Like a spark to tinder, the rage will build.

When you see a pair of the blue and orange Aspect Warriors (for lack of a better name) that we instructed the Aspect of the Orb of Creation to make, let them find the specific person they have in mind. If you are approached, you should find someone with whom to stage an argument of some sort – someone who has not yet fought one of these Warriors. It can be a fight with swords or with words, but it must be a spirited one regardless. When the fight heats up enough, both of the people involved should then fight the Aspect Warriors. If you are able to incapacitate them, each person must then take a strand of hair from a liminal, a maggot from a liminal, and a liminal drone heart and place one of each component inside the chests of the Warriors. Once you have fought a pair of these Warriors in this way, you will not be able to do so again.

Xoltrium has given me these components from his own bodies, and I will make sure that they get to you; I cannot be in town on Gatheringday, so other arrangements will be made.  By doing this, we are widening the split between Hyurog and Armego.  Hyurog’s rage is his weakness and it is how we can pull him away from Armego and the Incarnationhood.  Sending these Warriors back to him, altered in this way, should add to his Blood Fire and give us an advantage.

See you all on Wakingday,

Rakesh

Let It Be Known by decree of the War King:

The man known as Lieutenant Hearkin- and any troops with him- are considered to be deserters of and traitors to the War King and are hereby denounced as such. They no longer fight under the symbol of the War King, choosing instead to fight for the Gatekeeper, though they still dare to wear his colors. By order of the War King, Hearkin and any troops with him are to be killed on sight.

Magestry’s Best of Petalsong/Enlightening 124

Here are our picks for the Best of the May 2nd-4th, 2014 event:

138-3817_IMGThis month’s Best PC has been with us since almost the beginning of the game (check him out in his first ever costume! #Magestrytbt) and has really had some shining moments in his time! This game, however, Artie Cote, really came into his own as Simon Garren and, with his performance throughout the entire game, showed us what he is made of! As you said in your PELs, “Artie has done a really great job making Simon a completely different character from Vincent. This game he did a REALLY great job during his dinner performance, playing it nervous and with the songs. He was also just great in general all game.” We couldn’t agree more and are super pleased to give him Best PC. Thanks, Artie! Congrats!

Clara

 

Our Best NPC  for Petalsong, Clara Bertagnolli, is truly remarkable because she came to us out of the blue and, without knowing anyone (or really even having LARPed before!), dove right into game and joined staff, started writing plots, and took on (and rocked!) some great face roles.  Clara really astounded and impressed us with her amazing energy, her willingness to do whatever needed to be done, and her thoughtfulness all along the way- even staying late to help clean up! We are SO very glad that she found us and we hope to have her around for a good long time. Thank you so much, Clara!

Devoter Warsson’s War Song

Leave a comment

Irvanshirians,

I write to warn you about a dangerous force that has presented itself in these last few weeks. Devoter Warsson, acting out of passion and zeal and to the glory of his Incarnation, has mustered a sizable army of devoted followers and is leading them on a War-filled rampage throughout Irvanshire. Joining him on several attacks, are strange warriors bedecked in blues and oranges- often mistakenly thought to be soldiers from Lowex. They do not follow the Devoters orders, as the rest of his army does, but fight with stoic intensity and honor, inspiring (and commanding) those around them to fight as well.

Though I firmly believe that the Devoter is acting in accordance with the deepest convictions of his very being, it does nothing to minimize the scope of the tragedy that comes with such a War-like coup. Dying on the battlefield is seen as a great honor to those faithful to War, and so the Devoter leaves hundreds of “Reverent Dead” in his wake. His blood is afire and he ignites the flames of War in those who would listen. I fear that as Hyurog’s power grows and solidifies, we will see this spark of war ignite in many others the world over.

So now, as we find ourselves on the brink of what could be a New Age- The Dawn of Victory, as the prophecy states, I write to warn you that though Devoter Warsson means to pay homage to his Incarnation through honorable and glorified War, his ilk and his followers may not have such honorable intentions, and even those who do may fall victim to the rage of War. Many will incite war for war’s sake, and many others will use this as an opportunity for despicable practices and to satisfy selfish intentions. Be wary and cautious! War is upon us.

However, I would also humbly beg you to remember to keep hope alive. Prophecies are many times not fulfilled and often have several meanings and ways to interpret them, and this one is no exception. Though some, the Devoter included, have taken it upon themselves to fulfill this prophecy and bring Allegiant Symbol Aloneabout the Dawn of Victory, it is by no means set in stone. Have hope and stay aware.

Hearkin Unto Me: Praise the Gatekeeper!

Foolish interlopers of the town of Elmerton,

You have had your fun and I must admit to certain grudging respect for the resolve shown. However the game is at an end. The Gatekeeper’s Glorious plans can not be hobbled by a rag tag band of outcasts and mud farmers.

The failing is mine, I suppose, for letting this go on for so long, having wanted to wait to slay you en masse when the Gatekeeper’s new realm was fully solidified. Instead, I’ve been sending only a portion of my strength to disenchant that Thorn of a banner you raised in defiance. Oh, I still will destroy that banner. Three of the four elements of the sigil- the Sword of Assault, the Sword of Repose and the Axe Held on High- are already dispelled, leaving only the Armor of the Burning Heart before this little exercise in futility is at an end. THE LAST ASPECT OF THE BANNER WILL FALL. Retreat from the battlefield while you can; slaying you now holds no gain for me. If you retreat to areas that support Armego, your deaths will be forestalled.

It is thusly that I shall rekindle my Moment of Luminescence. I, Hearkin, shall live forever under the Wing of the Gatekeeper, and a flood of Magestan blood shall wash away the faulty ways forged by the Incarnation of Death. I am the First of the New breed of Hero! I am the opening hand of a game where the Gatekeeper holds all the Cards! The Gatekeeper will undo the mistakes of old by using the Incarnation of Death’s own poisonous two way door against him!  Slay me a thousand times! For each death I rise Stronger, my mission Clearer and the voice of the Master more INSPIRING!

DISSOLUTION TO VORKARIAN!! DEFEAT TO ARMEGO!! AND ELMERTON’S BLOOD ON THE LIPS OF THE MASTER!!

ALL PRAISE THE GATEKEEPER!! ALL PRAISE THE GATEKEEPER!! ALL PRAISE THE GATEKEEPER!!
