1121 Gathering (Jackals) - Ptaleb (Aygyptus)

 

The Cup of Lolth returned

As evening approached on the second day on the surface, those of considerable faith or of an ancestral nature were blessed with visions from the Quavalsharess (Visions of the grove and an item buried long ago, and scales with lord Iron founder and Triel Cruentatus on the other side) our service was to be rewarded but we must hurry for Triel Cruentatus ever eager to obtain any advantage against our nation had also learnt of this gift and send a considerable force to Dark Haven the closest transport location to our blessed ancestral grove in an attempt to prevent Lolths will and take the gift for herself.

And so, the Order of Lolth directed by a handmaiden of the Quavalsharess lead a strike force of Tarantula elite to Dark Haven and drove though the ranks of Triels’s forces towards the grove all the while calling out their devotion to the spider queen. The strength Gifted to us by Lolth proved as always, the greater and we secured and entered the grove retrieving Lolth gift to her children. The Cup of Lolth a blessed item of the third age which could be used to heal and prevent the death of any of Lolths children.

With Lolth gift secured and Triels’s local forces scattered we returned to the surface.

•     Note: consult with War Mistress Rezexi about the deployment of forces north to Dark haven to ensure the protection     of the grove and route out any remaining forces of Triel

Triel - Mistrivven Grimoire

Like a common thief Triel once again strove to steal the iconics of our nation and even succeed in capturing Khaz'ress, at which point she attempted to flee and were is not for the heroic actions of Forr Quartermaster if the nation delivering a magical poison elementally attuned to bypass her defences she may have succeeded. Instead perhaps for the first time in perhaps hundreds of years she was struck low and we set out to dedicate her pattern to Lolth, were it not for her phylactery she would have perished and sent to the Daemon web pits to be forever tormented by Lolth and her servants. What we did learn was the nature of her phylactery, it is in fact the original white council she occupied before the destruction of Telantiwar and her ascension to lychdom a gift from Dracos.

 

Baelnorn Dispute

The Baelnorn once again sought our guidance and regarding the situation in Telantiwar with all sides represented. Acolyte Val Keltomiir was able to negotiate with all the factions involved and had them agree to put aside their disputes until the threat posed by Triel and her forces was defeated. Though it was agreed that once this was complete any who wished it would be laid to rest once the victory was complete.

 

Xix Xix, Mistress of Sorcere

The Mistress of Sorcere has reported that dwarfs are trying to infiltrate the academies and recruit her into a cult, High mage Pippin has been appointed to investigate this further and consult with the mages guild it is believe they are attempting to steal an iconic item of great power. The messenger was taken care of as per Tarantula tradition.

 

Mines of Mullengar

Further visions regarding the mines of Mullengar were felt by members of the faction and guidance gifted on how to enter the door seen in the visions. The people of the dragons also spoke of a child of Domnu which was held or slumbered behind the door.

And so a joint force transported to the area and entered the mines and travelling its depths, overcoming the various torments of the Underdark. However, the dragons unaccustomed to the dangers lost one of their own to a deadly and quick acting poison. But in the end, we reached our goal and found the door ajar. Inside we found scatted, various documents in a language known to Alana and proceeded to quickly collect them up. But in our haste we has disturbed the resting of the child of Domnu, the beast of which Dragon legend warned, who with the mouth on his stomach who would turn anyone who looked upon it so angry they would be driven to recklessly attempt to kill it to there ultimate death

 

The Greater Underdark

Elder boy and those loyal to him were executed for heresy their patterns given to Lolth directly by High Priestess Ilharess Veldrinsharr, his mother as a reaffirmation of her faith in Lolth.

Runa formerly of the wolves and now Ilharess of House Morgun has been tasked by the High Priestess to prove her dedication to Lolth by leading prayers of the Faithful before she can be deemed suitable adopt the house.

 

The Gathering Charter and battle

• See Moot 2 1121 for preamble on the change to the charter

With the obligations Imposed on us by the Archons of Law and the enslaving of Lord Iron Founder to their purpose. The Nation was forced to take to the field of battle in opposition of the charter we created and our allies in the Jackals nation supported by the Viper nation.

In the days before the battle the conviction of the Jackals and Vipers was evident with those friendly to our nation reporting on the extent of their preparations and aims of their forces. The sacrifice and creation of a Death Knight and the creation of a magical Poison specifically created to overcome the formidable constitution of Lord Iron founder, being some of the direst.

The purpose of the order is in the service of Lolth to enforce her will, smite here enemies and to protect her people. And so, my purpose was clear not knowing the full extent of domination the Archon of Laws had on Lord Iron Founder under my orders along I ordered him subdued and gave the people of our nation a simple choice, they may stand with the forces of Law against our true allies and against the charter we created or follow me off the field of battle but under no circumstance would we fight along side the Jackals or vipers. And so the faction left the field or battle, in an effort to appease the whims of Erdreja I sought out a member of the Jackal, Viper alliance and fought an honour duel for the possession of an item of power which bound Lord Iron Founder to the enforced service of the Archons, which alas I lost but in doing so secured the safety of Lolths faithful ensuring we suffered no losses and were able to leave the field un-harassed.

• I wish it known that I do not regret the action I took in service of Lolth and her children and would take such action again should I believe Lolths weavings to have been subverted and will with humility the accept solely any repercussion should they come.

Lolth first ancestor and favoured of Erdreja Has made her displeasure known to her children. I, we have over stepped and there will be consequences, the first being the silence of the pantheon, we will no longer be able to request guidance from the ancestors in her pantheon or her. Should she require our servitude in her weaving we will receive decrees but nothing more until she is satisfied as to our obedience and submission to her will once again.

 

In faith

Zansas V'rinn

Exiled Champion of Lolth

 

She was not done, the extend of my failure is now apparent and I was a fool to believe I knew her will for she is the mistress of chaos and I but a simple male, not a high priestess or Handmaiden sent to enact her word. The gifts she has bestowed upon me are gone as are boons received in her service, she has cast me adrift from her children and exiled me from the lands of her people…
