Atlantic Roleplay Community Boards

[Silent Poet]

Bawdy Tavern night at the Brotherhood Garden had been a great success this eventide.

So many different members of the populace had attended for part if not all of the stories and songs.

We shook the rafters with audience participation when I said "The Lumberjack Song." Again, it was such a grand sight to see Grig the orc singing along.

Then Grig shared an updated version of his klumping song "Day-o." When he finished there was not a dry eye in the house.

While we were sitting around enjoying the glow of a good fire and many pints of ale, a hawk flew in and dropped a hastily inscribed note.

The note was from Brian and he requested that all members of the Brotherhood come to the guildhouse. I worriedly cast a spell of recall and ran into the guildhouse.

There sat Brian, with a look of world weariness that I had never seen upon his face.

He told us that Baeleron was lost to us forever.

I was shocked and stunned, my mind was reeling.

Then, before this devastating news could truly sink in Brian gave us even more dire news.

Brian was leaving the realm as well.

We all sat stunned as he methodically peaced the community.

Then end of an era had come. There would be no more Brotherhood.

After his news we went back to the garden, and Brian shared with us the history of the beginnings of the guild.

He talked long into the night, and more ale was drank.

I stumbled off just before dawn to my villa. Tai met me at the teleport pad to the small wine cellar, tavern in my villa, and helped me to a stool.

When I told him what had transpired, we both decided to empty the last several kegs of Sheila's October Ale. We were toasting every member of the Brotherhood till well into the morning. He finally fell asleep cuddling an empty ale keg.

I took off my Brotherhood robe for the final time, and packed it away.

DeSiree had been off to another realm. While she was away, there was something seemingly tugging at her. Something as if to warn her that all was not well with the Brotherhood. She finally decided to return to the realm of Sosaria. When she returned to the Garden, she felt something amiss. Her essence was implanted into the enviroment around her..into the guild she had called family. Never had she been so close to anyone or trusted as much as she did those of her guild. A sharp pain struck at the core of her being as she took a step inside of the Garden. The pain was so sharp, she clutched her chest and inhaled sharply. Her eyes began to water..as soft purple streaks cascaded down her cheeks. Each step she took, was hard and was accompanied with a sharp pain each time. Something had happened to her family. She began cursing herself for not being there more for them. She wasn't much of a fighter, but perhaps..perhaps she could have done something. She quickly changed into her wraith form, which made it abit easier for her to go up the stairs to her room. Once in her room, she changed back. The air had a chill in it, a chill that only came with death. Is it true...was her family no more? She sat down on the bed caressing the silken covers. Before she could think anything more about what might have happened, she lost consciousness.

I was busy at the house touching up my co-owned house in umbra since I hadnt been in awhile. I was told to come to the tavern but I couldnt I didnt know there was a meeting. Silent Poet brong me to the Dark Order and requested that I be in and said that its another brotherhood just like it. I always liked the structure and the leader of Dark Order because hes my friend. Poet couldn't baer the news to me in the bar but he droped his journal before i gave it back I took alittle look in it and I saw that one of my friends are dead and one is dieing I became really sad and shocked. Baelron taught be to be evil but sugar code it and us what you got when it i needed. Baelrons soul went through poet to bring me to the dark order I believe this will be very good for me all I can say is thank you Baelron for guiding me to the dark order
